I was up at a pretty early time, I brushed my teeth, had a very quick shower, brushed my hair and tucked it away. I put my bright green wig on, because it's awesome and then got dressed.
I checked the time on my phone, then I decided to just at least check Lando was up so he wouldn't be late.
I knocked gently on his door and a few moments later he opened it, shirtless may I add.
"Oh, Wow, woah. It was a good idea to be thirsting after you," I drooled, "Wow," I added again, taking a good look at him.
"Ok, Jesus stop. That looked like a very thorough look," he shied away, "am I making you nervous?" I questioned suggestively.
"Well, anyway. I thought I might call over just to make sure you were up and you weren't going to be late," I said, "oh thanks, do you want to come in while I get ready?" He asked, I shrugged, I didn't really mind.
I sat on his bed as he stepped into the bathroom, I heard the water running so thought I better get comfortable. I leaned against the pillow and scrolled through Instagram.
Lando came out of the bathroom ten minutes later, dressed but with soaking wet hair.
"Would you not blow dry it?" I asked.
"It goes really poofy."
"Well it's dripping wet, you're better off just drying it a bit," I told him.
"You're such a mum," he grumbled.
"Mam," I corrected.
"Come on, let's just go," he laughed
"Wait I just need to grab my bag from my room," I rushed, slipping back in and grabbing it.
"Why are you bringing a backpack?" Lando asked.
"Well I thought I might leave it in your drivers room in case I get soaked on the rare occasion it might rain because you know when it's really warm thunderstorms are plentiful," I explained, he shrugged and continued walking.
"So when we get there we have to go straight to my drivers room, I'll show you how a few things work and then I have to go," Lando said quickly, before he pulled out of the parking spot.
"So, how'd you even find my Instagram?" I asked him as we drove.
"Your mum mentioned it when she said how much your dad liked me. She said you didn't," he said, cutting himself off at the end.
"I didn't, what?" I asked.
"Um, sorry I can't talk while driving. I tried in Silverstone and we know what happened there," he laughed before going quiet again.
"No probs, do you mind if I put on the radio?" I asked cautiously.
"Not at all, go ahead."
I searched through the stations, trying to find an English speaking one.
"Here, put on Spotify," Lando said, handing me his phone. I looked up one of my own playlists and played that.
I quietly sang along to all the songs, by only Irish singers.
We then reached the track and Lando pulled into a car park full of motorbikes and sports cars.
"An exclusive car park, nice," I spoke in awe.
"Yeah the cars are awesome right," Lando said.
He lead me to the McLaren motorhome, greeting team members and other teams as we walked by. I certainly garnered a few looks with my wig but I still think it's the best thing I've ever bought.
"Ok, so this is how you get into my drivers room," Lando spoke, demonstrating as he did.
"Lando, it's a sliding door. I think I can do that," I laughed, rolling my eyes. He opened the door and gave me a tour.
"So that's where I keep my race suit, thats my helmet, that's other stuff and you can just leave your bag down on the bed," He rambled.
"Very thorough tour, five stars," I joked.
"Haha, I've got to go now," Lando spoke.
"You're not going to introduce me to anybody or anything like that?" I asked, exasperated.
"If you want you can hide in my room," Lando suggested.
"Nah, I'm outgoing. I've got this," I reassured myself.
"Go out there and introduce yourself to people I actually should have introduced you to," Lando laughed and ran off.
I did just that, becoming best friends with his PR, Charlotte.
By the time Lando arrived back after Practice 1, I had already heard quite a few embarrassing stories of his.
"Norris, you're back!" I called, "Hey, you've met Charlotte," Lando smiled.
"And loads of other team members. Plenty of stories to blackmail you with," I giggled, his eyes darted to Charlotte.
"Oh god, what have you all told her?" Lando asked, desperation in his voice.
"Many stories," Charlotte laughed.
