It doesn't take long for Lando to convince you. After everything that has happened, friends to lovers.. to now openly in love with each other.
"Can't believe you two had a one night stand and then just didn't leave."
His best friend Max laughs.
You wanted to make sure what you felt for him was real and not just an in the moment feeling.
But the more touchy he gets when his friends are near, make it more obvious.
"Come on mate it wasn't quite like that."
Max laughs loudly at Lando.
"Right.. it wasn't like that. You met her again at the end of season. After how many years? Hooked up almost immediately rather than rekindle the friendship. It's not like Ria who we speak to weekly, then you know things happen. Never mind how quick this is."
You can't help but scowl at Max. "I've seen him nearly yearly mate. So I haven't got a clue what you mean, I was at Ollie and Sav's wedding and their girls christenings. Yes Lando and I barely spoke much after he was away so much and I was in a long term relationship. But didn't mean we didn't speak."
Max laughs. "Whatever. Just be careful for your career. Last thing you want is a mini Norris running around."
You bite your lip. You both had yet to tell people.
"So why is the Wolffs inviting you both out. Jeez do they know something I don't." Max asks laughing.
"Yeah they do. But I don't want to talk about it." Lando says closing down the conversation.
"Plus Susie is her boss. It's a work thing for the girl racers. Susie said we could use it for our launch if we wanted to. She's sick of the rumours." Lando tells him.
Before the four of them set off to the event. Max has his girlfriend P with him.You walk down on your own at the carpet. Which is fine, you've done them before and know the ques and spots. The cameras dazzle you, into seeing spots.
At the final stop, Lando joins you. "You were killing it baby. Didn't want to ruin it." You gently grasp his hand and pull him in for a photo.
"You never ruin photos. Mr model." You tease him, making him laugh. He grabs you by the waist and pulls you into him.
You walk away and let him do a few on his own, but you just keep looking around the event. Seeing who you can spot.You spot the Wolffs and Charles Leclerc and his girlfriend. As you look around more, Lando is speaking to Carlos and his girl, Rebecca a fellow Scottish girl.
You had briefly met her at your first race.
"Oh wowee. You look so beautiful tonight, so different from your track side look." Rebecca hugs you, as Lando introduces you formally as his girlfriend. Carlos grins at Lando. Nudging him and whispering.
You are so awkward when Rebecca wants a very much instagram posed photo.
"So have you both not announced it properly yet?" Rebecca asks you and Lando. But he shakes his head.
"Nah. We were going to, but something happened. And we just didn't. Y/n had to heal and the only way is not pushing things online." He grips your hand, making sure you know he's there. As he's worrying about how much you keep zoning out.
"I got you babe." He whispers as he steals a hug and kisses your forehead.
You smile at him, which makes him giddy and smiley.Susie comes over to you and can't help but tease you. "I thought you'd be the one in the large group." As she hugs you. She asks. "How are you now darling?" You speak quietly to her. Your eyes welling up again, with all the emotion.
"Oh so you two and an actual thing now." She teases Lando. Who nods his head.
"Who knows you could be the next Toto and I." Lando's hand grips yours and he smiles.
"That's the plan Susie. She deserves the world and I plan on giving her as much of it as I can."
You turn to him and smile. "What the hell. That's cute and cheesy. Where's Lando gone?" He laughs again. "No where. I'm right here."Getting on the flight with Lando to head to the GP weekend. You had basically moved into Lando's apartment, even though you had to think about it. A lot.
"How do you think, people are going to take this?" You ask him, he smiles and shrugs.
"Who cares right? I've got you I promise." Nodding your head at him, he always puts you at ease, these days.Even as you's walk past fans that had came to airport, Lando keeps his eye on you. He knows you're still a bit fragile, since it feels like everything has came out.
You miss media day and spend some cute time with the wags that you had met at the event. Rebecca and Alex, you get Oscar's girlfriend to come along too.
As you seem to have a lot in common with her.
Spending the day laughing with girls, is just what is needed.
Heading back to Lando's happy face, makes you giddy.
"You walking in with him tomorrow?" Rebecca asks you.
But you pull a face. Every time you are in the paddock, being attached to a team, means you have to repping that team.
"Not sure. We have spoken about it, but as I'm Mercedes tied. I need to see with Susie, what I can wear. As I think it's so unfair on Lando and McLaren. If I'm walking in wearing my Mercedes tee. Even if I'm not here with Merc this weekend." She nods her head. "Is he understanding about that though, I know behind closed doors, teams mean very little. But obviously, will that make it harder for you and him."
You shake your head. "Not I've signed contracts that i won't leak anything to anyone else. So I'm not allowed to overly look into the his car's mechanics or give them advice. But obviously I'm not in any strategy meetings this weekend."Lando meets you in the foyer. "Hiya love." He grins at you, kissing you. "Didn't realise how fucking hot you looked this morning." He teases you. "Eww stop mate really." Max moans behind him.
"Oh is P here too?" Lando nods his head at you. "Yeah. Dinner soon?" You smile and nod your head. Even though you can't think of anything worse than food.
Checking your emails, Susie has said you are allowed to wear what you like in the paddock when you're not with Mercedes working.
"Oh crap. I'm allowed to wear my clothes.. I instantly regret all my choices." Lando smiles at you.
"No. No pressure remember. You do you. You don't need to be anyone else. Or keep up with the models." Nodding your head it really doesn't stop the worry.In the morning, Lando has snuck out of bed and grabbed your outfit.
"I chose it. Saved you the stress and got your coffee sorted for you."
You can't help but smile at him.
"Is this really all you? Or did you get help." He grins at you, obviously caught out.
"Don't answer! Thank you." You put your arms around him and kiss him. He's just too sweet for you.
You can't help but think this is the worst part of dating him.
"Love you bub." He says, before pulling on his own tee.
"Do you still want to announce the miscarriage today? Or does it depend on my results?" Shaking your head, you doubt everything again.
"No I don't know what to do. I still don't know how to word it." He nods his head at you.
"I know. Whatever you want to do. I back you 100%."You get through the paddock gates with him unscathed. The photographers, just assuming she's walking in with Lando due to being friends.
"I think you got lucky. They just assume you are friends." Lily laughs, looking on instagram.
Yous have just been to a food truck and bump into Susie.
"Oh if you want, you can do an interview with me. I know I said you wouldn't need to. But I think you'd benefit the conversation."
You think and go to do it. Quickly texting Lando hoping he won't be looking for you.You feel so awkward on the panel of conversation.
"So y/n after your first ever f1 academy experience, you ended up in hospital. Care to explain? And are you okay now?"
You sit and stare into space.
"Oh uhm dehydrated. Nothing interesting." You look at Susie, wishing the ground would just such you in.
"Yeah I'm much better now, back to full health." As you grip onto your seat, you have no clue how to remain calm.
"We have seen a lot on social media about you and Lando? Is that you both officially off the market?"
Nodding your head you have no idea what to reply.
"Officially yeah.. who knows we might be the new Wolffs."As you leave the panel, you rewllt wish you could say more or less.
Even going and seeing Lando hurts.
"Ugh that sucked.. we we definitely official now."
He noda his head. "I know I seen. You still struggling with deciding what to say?" Nodding your head, you feel done in.
Every ounce of mental and physical energy you had is gone.
"Maybe we don't.. how about we keep it to ourselves. Not everything has to be public right?" You say to him. He noda his head.
"Yeah whatever you want bub. Like I've said I'm behind you no matter what you decide to do. Obviously id love to speak about it, for my own selfish reasons. But if you don't want too, I can't force you to tell your news. One day we will get our family. But first you need to be in F1 with me and who knows you could be Mea Norris."
You smile at him.
Loving him is the best decision you've ever made.
One day.. baby Norris's will be with him in the paddock and on the grid. Just not this year.
