Tinder - [Lando Norris]

2.1 || the circuit

Lando's alarm rung early in the morning to notify them that is was time to get ready for an on track day. Dagmar stirred in her spot on the mattress, the sheets curled around her in a warm and cozy cone. His arm slipped under the duvet, pulling her into his chest. "Is it time to get up?". She mumbled softly, her hand moving to his arm and rubbing softly over his skin. "I calculated about fifteen cuddle minutes in". Lando replied and it she let out a breathy laugh. "Great". She hummed, resting her head on his chest while she felt him moving his fingers through her hair. It was tempting to close her eyes again, however she stared up at the ceiling instead, listening to his soft breaths and counting his heartbeats that were audible for her. "I want to take a lot of pictures of you today". She mentioned while drawing random patterns over his pectorals with her fingertips.

The goosebumps gently rose over his body as her nails tickled a little. "Of me? What for?". Lando asked, shifting to his side and she fell slowly onto her back. He leaned up on his elbow, his arm swung over her waist. "Memories". Dagmar said. "And my lock screen". She smiled up at him and his lips curled upwards too, his curls lazily resting on his head. Lando leaned forward to peck her lips, however she pulled him back down when he wanted to pull away. Her arms curled around his neck and they gladly kissed for a little while, before it was really time to get up and get dressed. Dagmar swung her legs over the edge of the bed and made her way to her suitcase to get some clean underwear, her jeans and a sweater. Lando said he had to make some calls first, so she had the time to shower meanwhile. She only did a quick wash anyway, she had washed and conditioned her hair already before she left to Barcelona.

Dagmar closed her eyes when the water poured down on her, the rainforest style shower and the marble bathroom fitting perfectly with the four star hotel the team was staying in. She could easily get why it wasn't a bad thing to spend time here after the on track work was done. Dagmar stopped the shower from running and took the towel she hung outside. She squeezed the water out of her thick hair and then squeezed it with the towel. She was quick to dry her skin and slip into the clothes she had laid out, brushing her hair afterwards and using a serum to make sure her hair wouldn't be too frizzy today. Lando got into the shower after her and then she had the time to diffuse her hair with the dryer from the hotel. She sat down on the bed and waited for him to be ready, which didn't take a very long time. Lando had pulled a McLaren sweater over his head, a polo underneath in case the temperatures would rise at the circuit.

He had learned already that the mornings were fresh here and he took a beanie with him in the pocket of the winter coat of the same McLaren team wear line. "Ready to go? We're having breakfast at the track". Lando informed her and she nodded, swinging a shoulder bag with her belongings over her shoulder and they made their ways out of the hotel room. The few people of the team they were traveling with were waiting for them in the lobby. "Good morning, mate. Today is your day". Jon, his trainer said with a big grin. "For sure". Lando replied and then his hand slid down Dagmar's back, ushering her a bit more forewards. "This is Dagmar, my girlfriend". He introduced her and Dagmar offered him a warm smile while shaking Jon's hand. "Not going to lie, Dagmar. I wasn't convinced of your existance when he told me about you". Jon jokingly said and it made her laugh, while Lando rolled his eyes at the teasing and waved it away.

Charlotte, the blonde who was the PR face of McLaren, joined them soon enough as well. She had a coffee in her hand and happily greeted Dagmar and the rest of the crew. "Buenos dias a todos". It was obvious who joined them at last. "Oh, look. It's Lando's girlfriend". Carlos grinned at his teammate and nudged Lando's ribs, the proud-brother vibe coming across and he didn't even try to hide it. Carlos and Dagmar shook hands as well and the Spaniard was very friendly too. They were guided to the vans that were parked outside of the hotel and they would take them to the circuit quickly. "Have you ever been at a circuit before, Dagmar?". Carlos asked as he sat next to Lando and he leaned slightly forward to look at her. "Not yet, this will be my first experience at a race track". Dagmar smiled in response. "All VIP". Lando grinned and he pulled a paddock pass and McLaren guest pass from his pocket.
