------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You stepped out of the car, the crisp winter air biting at your cheeks as you and Lando arrived at his family's home for Christmas. The air was filled with the scent of pine and anticipation, a light blanket of snow covering the ground, making everything seem like a scene from a holiday card.
The crisp winter air carried the scent of pine and cinnamon as Lando Norris, the Formula 1 driver, and you, his radiant wife, made your way to Lando's family home for a magical Christmas reunion.
With beautiful snowflakes dancing around you, you approached the door adorned with lights, nestled amidst a snowy landscape, adorned with twinkling lights and wreaths.
Lando squeezed your hand gently as you walked up the front steps, his smile warm and infectious. He was excited to introduce you as his wife and share this special time with his family, especially with a little one on the way.
The house was adorned with twinkling lights, a magnificent tree standing proudly in the corner, adorned with colorful ornaments and tinsel.
Laughter echoed through the halls, and you were immediately enveloped in a flurry of hugs and greetings from Lando's family.
As you entered the cozy home of the Norris family, the warmth of festive cheer enveloped the two of you. Lando's family greeted you with open arms and infectious enthusiasm.
His mom, a bundle of joy and warmth, enveloped you in a tight hug, her eyes shining with happiness.
"Welcome, both of you! Oh, look at that bump," she exclaimed, gently placing a hand on your growing belly, a gesture that made Lando beam with pride. His mother adored you.
Your pregnancy bump, adorned with a festive ribbon, was immediately ushered to the comfiest armchair by Lando's mom, who insisted she would take it easy while the others bustled around, preparing a lavish Christmas feast.
The day was a whirlwind of festive activities. Lando's nieces and nephews eagerly showed you their handmade decorations, each one proudly displaying their artistic skills.
Lando, ever the mischievous one, snuck behind you and whispered silly jokes in your ear, making you burst into fits of laughter. He could be serious if he wanted to be, but you liked him better this way.
Amidst the joyful chaos, you found yourselves in the cozy kitchen, where Lando's dad, an expert in culinary delights, was concocting his famous Christmas dinner.
The aromas of roasting turkey and spices filled the air, and you couldn't resist stealing a bite of the freshly baked cookies cooling on the counter, you were allowed, I mean you were pregnant.
As the day drifted into evening, everyone gathered around the fireplace, cups of hot cocoa in hand. Lando's sister, armed with a guitar, led the family in singing classic Christmas carols.
Lando, ever the enthusiast, joined in, his voice blending harmoniously with the melodies, eliciting smiles and applause from everyone. He truly was an angel, your angel.
Later, you found a quiet moment with Lando by the glowing tree, the twinkling lights casting a magical aura around you both. He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you close, and whispered,
"This is perfect, isn't it? Spending Christmas with you and our little one on the way."
You nodded, feeling a surge of emotion as you rested your head against his chest.
"Absolutely perfect," you whispered back, your heart swelling with love for this man and the family you were becoming a part of.
The evening ended with exchanging heartfelt gifts, laughter, and embraces. Lando's mom pulled you aside, handing you a beautifully wrapped box.
"For the little one," she said with a knowing smile, her eyes twinkling with excitement.
It was a beautiful little necklace with Norris been standing on it. You knew that either bean would be a girl or a boy, she or he would appreciate and love the lovely gift.
As you and Lando drove back home, the moon lighting the snow-covered landscape, you couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude and happiness.
"I love you, Lan. I hope that we can spend a thousand more Christmas together."
"I love you, angel."
"And I love you, bean," Lando added and gave your bump a little kiss, as he stood at a red traffic light.
The day had been filled with love, warmth, and the promise of new beginnings. And as you both nestled into each other's arms, you knew that this Christmas would be a cherished memory forever etched in your hearts.

Im sorry, but if you buy tickets or attend a formula 1 race. Your are not entitled to your favs winning. To boo the winner during the national anthem of the country they are representing is disrespectful to not just the driver but the country and all the other participants in the sport.
You decided to spend money, you decided to attend. You cannot control the future or outcome but what you can control is how you act and react to the outcome. Don’t be an ass and let the guy live in peace. Your entitled to disappointment, that’s okay, but why are you hating and making everyone feel bad.
Max deserved that win, they all deserve a win. But that doesn’t mean you get to be a bully and a have horrible sportsmanship. While your booing and being mean, your favs will be too busy congratulating the winners and figuring out ways to improve their vehicle and plans. You booing and essentially being a bully does not help anyone and makes the mood worse for those who are already disappointed in themselves and worse for the winners who worked hard to stand on that podium. Don’t be rude and stop being disrespectful.

Tumblr media
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lando and you had both a day free to yourselves. And you wanted to use it to the fullest. You went shopping, ate ice cream, took pictures in a photo booth and lastly went to a book store to buy some books.
As you were a bookworm, this made you very happy. And to share this joy with your significant other made it so much better. You walked through the street, hand in hand, you were jumping and smiling. Lando grinning all the way.
In the bookstore, you and Lando parted ways, you were looking for your own books and Lando just rooming through the store, looking at you and taking pictures of your happy smiling and focused face. After some minutes, you came back with two books, smiling and grinning.
“I have what I wanted, so if you are finished we can go to the checkout.”
“I saw how you looked at some more books, you can buy them, lovie.”
Just as you wanted to protest, to tell him that you had enough books, he gave you the look that told you to not argue with him. You turned around, took his hand in yours, and walked to more shelves.
Firstly you were unsure if you could just look around for books and put them on the other books or argue with Lando to just go and drive home, but your love for books won, so you searched through the shelves.
This made Lando happy. He loved spoiling you and spoiling you with things that made you as happy as books did. If you are happy and fulfilled, he was happy and fulfilled.
And every time you wanted to argue with him, telling him to go to the checkout, he just gave you a shrug and told you to look some more. Finally, after many please, you could go with nine books to the register.
Before you were at the checkout, you and Lando had another little argument. Lando wanted to pay for the books, while you wanted to pay for them, and as an agreement you paid four, and he paid for five books.
Walking out with a pout on your face. You knew that Lando only wanted the best for you and make you happy, but you didn't want him to pay for things or make you expensive presents.
You were completely able to pay for yourself, he knew that, but he still wanted to spoil you. That Lando wanted to see you happy, made you happy, but not if he over did it.
However, you had your own job and your own income. You never wanted Lando or anyone else at that, think that you only were with Lando because you wanted his money or fame.
You loved Lando. More than you could describe in words. He was and is your home. And you never wanted to lose him. But at what he does with his action you never had doubts.
But enough of that.
 Lando and you were walking through the windy streets, to his car. Lando opened the passenger side, so you could get in, closed it and walked to his side and got in.
He started the car and the engine roared to life. He drove to his apartment, while you started to read one of the books and his warm hand laid on your thigh, stroking it.
After a while, you were at his apartment, you were not even recognizing that you were at his apartment until he opened the passenger side and tapped your thigh to wake you out of your trance.
With a shocked gasp you were in the real world again, looking at him a bit confused but quickly became clear and stept out of the car and walked to the apartment, with Lando shortly behind you.
He opened the door, to let you both in, both of you took your shoes off and let the warmth of the room surround you. You immediately walked to the couch and started reading again.
“Are you going to spend some time with me or just read?”
“It depends on how you act, Lan. If you come here, we cuddle and I will put the books away.” And in seconds, Lando was on the couch pulling you into him tightly, so you could not get away.
You sat together, turned the TV on and put a warm cozy blanket over the both of you. Cuddling with Lando was the best thing to end your day and start a new day. 
You ended the day before Lando. He stayed awake, with you in his arms, soundly asleep. Watching you was something he enjoyed, not in a creepy way but in a sweet way.
Lando never wanted to miss being with you. The time you had together was limited to his race schedule and your work schedule, many times those overlapped, so you could not see each other that often.
But in a moment of looking at you and thinking, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and took a picture of you. Lando looked at it for a minute and then decided to post something on his JPG account.

A Dubai Reunion
Tumblr media
I should have never trusted Oliver. That man could convince me of anything, including going on a last minute vacation to Dubai, where he had promised that his brother wouldn't be accompanying us. But there he was, sitting across from his brother and his brother's girlfriend, looking at his phone through his sunglasses and not even realizing my presence here at the table.  
It's not that Lando and I weren't friends. In fact, we were closer than Oli and I were, but things had changed recently. As Lando had continued to move further and further into the rankings of racing, we saw each other less. We still saw each other a lot, but less than we were when we were eight to fourteen years old, or even before we could talk. When Lando got into Formula One, he invited me to a couple of races per year, and this year was no exception. While there was a pandemic, there was still a limited number of passes that the driver's were allowed to give away for the season, and Lando very kindly gave me one of his. But Lando didn't appreciate my friendliness with the other drivers. It wasn't even flirting, it was genuinely me being friendly. The specific driver that always managed to get Lando upset was Pierre Gasly. 
Pierre and I had become good friends since I met him in 2019, but of course, we were not as close as Lando and I. Besides our yearly Christmas get together, the last time Lando and I had spoken was when we got into an argument in Monza. It was Pierre's maiden win, and I was excited and happy for him. The happiness quickly faded when Lando accused me of prioritizing Pierre over Lando and I's friendship, which obviously wasn't true. 
I was patting myself on the back for deciding to wear some actual clothes and not the pajamas which I had considered wearing down to breakfast. Although, I still wasn't looking my best, it was better than pajamas. I had put on a pair of dark blue sweat shorts and a black bikini, which was under my shorts and what I wore as my top. Since we were having our breakfast by the pool, it wasn't too obscure to do.
Oli was showing Savannah, his girlfriend, something on his phone, so no one at the table noticed my presence. Which was probably for the best because my shock from seeing one of my best friends unexpectedly sitting at my breakfast table would have been noticeable to any onlookers.  The only empty seat was next to Lando, so that's where I was forced to sit. 
Oli looked up at me and I immediately sent a glare his way. It was in this moment that I realized by the twinkle in his eye that he had lied straight to my face when I asked if Lando would be joining us on this trip. Oli didn't say anything about the situation, and instead addressed the whole group. 
"Anyone want to do anything specific today? Or just lay around by the pool?" 
Lando didn't say anything, just continued typing away at his phone. Sav just shrugged. 
"I really want to go on one of those quad bikes in the desert. They look really cool and I've never been on one," I spoke, looking directly at Oliver and not the boy to my left; but that didn't last long as I automatically turned my head when there was a reaction next to me. 
It was a good thing that Lando has had years of neck training, otherwise I reckon he would've had a severe case of whiplash. He turned his head to the side and moved his sunglasses to the top of his head -- I guess to make sure he was really seeing me sitting next to him. It was probably quicker than his best reaction to the lights going out on the grid. 
"What the hell are you doing here?" 
"I was invited, Lando," I informed him. 
There was silence from both of us. Oliver broke it by saying, "I'm going to ask the front desk about quad bikes. Sav, you coming?" 
"Yep, I'll come," she said. 
I gave Oliver a pleading look as he got up to leave me alone with a boy who was currently looking down at his phone. He shrugged and then smiled at me before walking away and leaving me with Lando. 
I had seen rumors on Instagram about Lando coming to Dubai to see a girl, although I didn't really know anything about her. I'd just seen from some Lando fan pages which popped up on my explorer page that he had been liking all her photos and commenting emojis on her posts.  But I don't know if that actually means anything and when I asked Oliver about the topic before Christmas he said that he didn't know if they were dating, and that Lando hadn't said anything about her. Although I assume that Oli was trying to spare my feelings, as I know better than anyone that the two of them are very close and share almost every detail of their lives with one another. 
After a minute of me sitting while Lando typed rapidly on his phone, he finished whatever he was doing placed his phone face down on the table, then looked over to me. 
"How's it going?" He asked in a quiet voice. 
"It's alright," I replied. "Just happy to have a break before my next semester of school." 
He nodded, but stayed silent. I decided that I needed to say something, but I had no idea what to say. I had no idea what had been going on in his personal life since the beginning of September when we'd gone to Monza together. So, I stuck to something I actually knew about. 
"So, P3 in the Constructors. That's pretty nice." 
He looked over at me and I couldn't exactly read his emotions in his eyes. Usually we were pretty good at reading each other since we had been friends for our whole lives, but I couldn't tell in this moment. I was fairly certain that it was either disappointment or hurt. 
"Don't give me that fake bullshit that people I'm forced to meet for work say. We're not strangers," Lando said. I could tell that he was offended that I chose a topic that was so impersonal to him, but it's not like I had a choice. 
"It's not like I know you that well at the moment," I argued back at him. "We haven't spoken in months and you just expect me to pretend like we're still best friends when every time we argue every time we're together."
"That's not only my fault," he responded. "And we just spoke like 2 weeks ago at Christmas." 
"That doesn't count, Lando. We had a conversation that lasted 5 minutes. The rest of the time you ignored me and we didn't say anything that was genuine when we were in front of your family." 
"Maybe that's true, but we still spoke." 
I was instantly reminded of why I tried my best to make sure that Lando would not be accompanying us on this vacation. I wanted so badly to reconnect with him, but it was so difficult. Especially when I was wishing that we could be more than friends. For a few months there I think we both believed that the two of us were going to get together, but then the incident with Pierre happened and it fizzled out. And every time I think about us, I become disappointed about the fact that the two of us haven't been able to work it out. 
Lando looked as if he was going to say something to me, but there was a voice calling my name from across the pool deck. I turned my head towards the voice, which I had recognized but didn't want to confirm yet. But as I turned my head I saw him walking towards us -- Pierre. The man which had caused the riff between Lando and I. Pierre and I hadn't ever brought up the possibility of us dating, it was strictly a friendship, no matter what Lando thought. 
Pierre walked over to the table, and I stood up when he finally made his way here and gave him a hug. 
"Hey," Pierre said, "I didn't know that you were here!" 
"It was a last minute trip. My friend convinced me to come only a few days ago," I explained to the Frenchman standing in front of me. 
"I see," he looked down at Lando, who was staring at his phone. 
Although it was only when Pierre began explaining the details of his trip to me that I snuck a glance at Lando and saw that he was indeed staring at phone, but it was a blank screen. He was just staring at his phone as if there was something very interesting going on, but it was completely blank. 
"So, I'll be here for the rest of the week, if you want to hang out," Pierre finished. 
"Yeah, I'll have to ask Oli what the plans are for the week, but I'd definitely want to hang out." 
Lando had eventually pushed his phone away and looked up at the two of us standing, which was when Pierre decided to say something to his fellow driver. 
"What's up Lando?" Pierre greeted, putting out his fist, which Lando reluctantly bumped. Pierre looked between the two of us and appeared to have realized something. "Are you guys here together, or..." 
We, of course, weren't here together. Although upon further thought I realized that since Oli and Savannah had left it appeared as though we were having breakfast, together, and on a vacation, together. 
"Sorry to ruin the party, but I think our food is here." 
Lando had completely ignored Pierre's question and settled for quite a rude way to tell my friend -- and his colleague -- that it was time for him to go. Pierre wasn't affected by it, and instead gave us both a very friendly goodbye. 
He hugged me again before saying: "Hope to see you soon, let me know if you have a free day soon!" 
"Will do!" I responded before sitting down. 
"See you mate," Pierre said to Lando. 
Lando replied with, "See you Pierre." 
However, the tone in his voice implied that he wouldn't be in a rush to see the Alpha Tauri driver anytime soon. I doubted that Pierre could detect this tone in his voice, but as someone who had been dealing with Lando for many, many years, I could easily tell. Before I could say anything the waiter came over and left our food with us, the food that Oli had ordered for me being placed in front of me. 
When the waiter left, I said, "Why don't you like Pierre?" 
Lando put his phone down and looked over at me. 
"I like Pierre," He lied. "What makes you think that I don't like Pierre?" 
I furrowed my brows in confusion as I was trying to tell if he was joking with me or not. 
"Cause you're very cold to him. And you basically told him to fuck off when he asked if we were here together." 
"Yeah, because the food was coming," he reasoned. Although I gave him one look to let him know that he couldn't lie to me so easily and he softened and told me a bit of the truth. "And it's none of his business who you're here with. He shouldn't ask those types of questions, you guys aren't that close." 
I smiled, finally glad that he was partially telling the truth. 
"But if Pierre and I aren't close enough, how close do you have to be to ask questions like that?" 
He pondered my question as he took a bite of pineapple. I took a bite of my omelet  while waiting for his response. As I did so I noticed that his hair was curlier than normal. Maybe he was finally embracing the curls, as I had been requesting him to do for years. 
"You have to know each other for a few years," Lando eventually concluded. "You have to really know them." 
I was going to ask him if we were at a place in our friendship to ask these sorts of questions, but Oli and Savannah arrived back to our table.
"Alright, we can go to ride quad bikes at ten, and then this afternoon we can go to this cool beach nearby. The concierge told me about it," Oli told us as he and Sav sat back down at the table. 
"You coming, Lando?" Savannah asked. 
"Yeah, of course," Lando replied. "How could I pass up the opportunity to destroy Oli on some quad bikes?" 
"You're dreaming, mate," his brother replied. 
---
An hour later I was making my way towards the front of the hotel to meet Oli, Sav, and Lando to drive 30 minutes into the desert and ride dune buggies. 
Since we were still going to be going to the beach later in the afternoon, I had only thrown on a black crop top and changed from my slides to a pair of Nike running shoes. (Even though I will not be doing any running.) I opted to wear only the bare minimum of makeup and my usual jewelry. 
Going outside, the rest of the group was standing there waiting to go. There were two McLarens parked out front of the lobby; I could only assume that one of them was for Lando, and he had also managed to snag one for his brother. 
"Sav and I will go in our car, and you and Lando can go in his," Oli said to me. 
I glared at him. I didn't want to ride in a car with someone who I hadn't had a real civil conversation with in months, but I didn't really have any choice. 
Oliver and Savannah climbed into their black sports car, fired it up, and sped out of sight. Which left Lando and I standing there in front of his gold wrapped McLaren. 
a.n. // this is my first post, so let me know what you think!! and if you want part two!

LN- all roads lead to you
Chapter 2: Austin
A month. A month and 11 days. That was the time since Monza, since Milan, since her, since her kiss. He couldn't help but feel astonished at her act. He was dying to do it, but he didn't want to freak her out, rush things and fuck up everything. He decided to wait but never expected what in fact happened. He still couldn't believe his lips, those ordinary, humble lips had the honor to be in touch with those heavenly pieces of flesh. He also couldn't believe that she was standing there at Austin's circuit in the middle of nowhere in Texas only a few meters from him. Her eyes were fixed on her phone and never, never before, had he wished so badly to be a touchable rectangle. It reminded him about Silverstone in that same year, the first time he saw her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier that year: Silverstone Circuit, England.
Lewis could see her small frame perfectly... well, she was with the back turned to him, but the perfect peach-shaped bum was hers and he could recognize it anywhere.
She jumped a little when she felt a pair of hands touching her ribs "fuck" he laughed "Don't do it, maledetto" "Is that Italian? Are you cursing me?" "Maybe. How do you know?" "It felt like an insult" "You deserved it. You know it's easy to scare me" "Sorry for scaring you" He opened his arms inviting her for a hug. She hugged him "So happy you came" "Couldn't miss it" she smiled "Are you okay?" "Yes, super excited, it's home after all" "Correct, Sir" he chuckled "And you?" "Yes, love UK" "You do, signorina" "I hate your Italian accent" "Well, that's not my problem" She rolled her eyes "Rude" he grinned, kissing her forehead "I am going there" he pointed a direction: Mercedes' box "wanna join me?" "Depends. Will you walk as a normal person or ride those ridiculous scooters you and Angela usually use?" he laughed "I can walk" "so I am coming with you" "Lovely" he threw an arm around her neck "Hey, want to go out to dinner tonight?" "sure. Where?" "Sushi?" she said already knowing his answer "Come on! You know I am a vegan" "Yeah. So you order the vegetarian sushi. Vegans eat rice, right?" "Does it really exist? And yes, we eat rice" "Okay. And of course it exists! It has carrots and celery" She paused to think "Or was it cucumber?..." he laughed "Anyway" "Okay. Think I'll accept" She smiled "Great" "Where do you want to go?" "I was thinking about sticking at Nobu" "Nobu. That's a high class place" "Are you in?" "Can I bring Tom Cruise with me?" "Tom Cruise?!" "Yes, he is..." "Lewis!" someone called for him. They both stopped and turned around to see who it was. It was Angela running with all her efforts to reach them. "Hey" "Hey, I was looking for you, need to check a few things. Oh! Gooday, love!" Angela greeted her. She smiled and the blonde one did the same "Hi, Angela" "Can you give us a moment?" "Sure". She stood a few feet from them, not interested in boring subjects, continuing to edit a few pictures on her cellphone. 
But she didn't know her frame was being observed again, but now for a different pair of eyes: Lando's eyes. And he wasn't even being discreet 'cause while Max Verstappen talked with him he was clearly paying attention to another thing. The small and beautiful girl standing some miserable steps from him, super interested in her cellphone, was way more attention-attracting than Max talking about how confident about the race he was. And of course, it was noticed "Are you even listening to me?" "I'm..." he finally looked at the Dutchman "...not" "asshole" he laughed "Sorry, something else caught my attention" He looked around, trying to figure out what was more interesting than himself. He found and smirked at his mate. "Okay, I forgive you" the British lad laughed and Max took the opportunity to stare too "Is she going out with Lewis?" Lando asked "No. They're just friends. She is friends with me as well. Plus she's taken already" "Do you know her?!" "yeah. I mean, we know each other, we never properly talked tho" "So you're not friends" "We might have exchanged only two or three words..." "So you're not friends" "Yeah, whatever" silence. He was staring again, Max chuckled "Hot, huh?" he broke the gaze "I... you have a girlfriend!!" "I do, but she's still hot. Kelly told me these exact same words the other day" "No" "She did" he laughed "Yeah... hot" He started again, it was so relieving the fact he could simply stand in there and stare till he didn't want anymore, but he couldn't be more desperate when he heard Max's voice calling the girl "Bro, what are you doing?" He laughed "waving to my friend" "You just admitted you're not friends!" "Shut up!" she looked around to see who called her. She found it. Waved back to Max, blocked her phone, and told Lewis where she'd be, walking towards the duo. "Great, now she's coming over here. Do I still have time to run away?" "Be a man and behave yourself" "Hi!" she stood on her tiptoes and hugged Max "Hey, how are you?" "I'm good, and you?" "Good too, excited for the race" she smiled "I think everyone is" "Yeah!" "Sorry for not seeing you, I was editing some photos" "Nah! Is okay. Photography is your thing, right?" "It's. I need it just as I need air to live..." he smiled "When are you coming to the Netherlands again?" "I'm actually going to Amsterdam soon" "Oh! That's good we may go out someday" "Sure! It'd be nice" "Your boyfriend can join us as well. How's his name? I can't remember" "Hum..." she cleaned her throat "We broke up" she said awkwardly "Oh, no! I am sorry" "It's fine, it was 2 years ago" He started to blush. Lando swallowed the laugh back, content that the karma hit Max back at lightspeed  "No! Really sorry, you guys were together for so long" "Max, I'm fine" "Alright..." "Are you still with Kelly?" "Yes! We are pretty solid" "Damn. Thought I could finally flirt with you" "I..." "I am kidding!" she giggled "It's good to hear you guys are still together" "Oh, ok. Yes, that's good news. You can flirt anytime you want, tho. I will just not flirt back" "But what's funny about that?" They laughed. A laugh that was followed by an awkward silence "That's Lando by the way" She looked at him, her eyes on him for the very first time, opening a smile without showing her teeth "Hi! Nice to meet you" "Nice to meet you too" "Hey, guys I probably should get going before Lewis leaves me here" "Yeah, sure" "But it was good to see... and meet you" "Yeah..." She gave him another hug "Can I...?" "Absolutely" she gave Lando a hug as well, she smelled like strawberry lipgloss and expensive champagne "Say hi to Lewis for us" "Sure! And, Lando, can you please, if you see Daniel tell him for God's sake to reply to me" only the stupid of Daniel to not reply to her "consider it done" "thank you so much. Bye bye!" "Bye!" they waved back. Lando looked at Max and poked his chest "You're ridiculous" he busted out laughing " 'Absolutely' and 'consider it done'. Seriously? Couldn't you look more desperate?" 'Thank God she hasn't noticed, 'cause she was too busy flirting with you', Lando thought. "That was ridiculous, man! You just did it to annoy me. She doesn't even seem to like you!" "That's because she doesn't" "I can see why" he muttered "Next time you pay attention to me" "Spoiled" he coughed, Max frowned "Shut up!"

Present time: Circuit of the Americas, Austin, Texas
"Lando!" Charlotte's voice took him back to reality "Hey..." "Are you ready to press?" "Of course" "you don't lie to me" "I will be. You know I always do" "Great! so you can start formulating how you're going to respond to inconsistency at the beginning of the race in Istanbul" "What!? That spray was scary, I couldn't see anything!" "Now you tell them that" "Sure I will" he grumbled with his iPhone in hands. Of course, texting George was way more interesting "Lando!" "hum?" "Give me that phone" "I don't think so" She took the phone from his hands "Wait! No! Give it back!" "No. Only after you practice what you're going to say" he snorted "Media is a big cocksucker" he muttered "Watch your mouth!" "You are not my mom!" she looked at him, and arched an eyebrow, she had a murdering gaze, daring him with her eyes only to say it again. Lando swallowed dryly "Sorry, Charlie" "It's okay. Just do what I am telling you" "Fine" "Good! See you in 20" "See ya". He turned around to start looking for George and finished telling him about that new level of the video game, but he saw a spot, a spot moving, getting closer, walking towards his direction. He could tell it was a girl, the curves denounced, but he couldn't tell who she was. But she was pretty and as much as she approached he could see her better and want her better. Her black hair, her glowing sun-kissed skin, her voluptuous thighs, and her cowgirl outfit that he, later in that day, would love to take out of her. He had forgotten George already. He also had forgotten about the Italian macchiato, his mind was on the mysterious girl with whom he was ready to start a very flirtatious conversation when he heard a voice. Melodic voice. A voice he wished lived inside his head: her voice. "Seems someone made the blonde lady very angry" and instantly he forgot about the beautiful lady, the one who passed through them without attracting a single drop of his attention "Seems someone is too stupid for daring do that" she giggled "You're suffering the consequences" "yeah" he blushed "it's nice to see you" "yeah..." she bit her bottom lip "what Austin did to deserve your presence here in the middle of nowhere. Nothing against Austin, tho" she giggled "you" he blushed again "m-me...?" "Nah! I have family in Austin. We are here to watch the race" "oh! So you are staying till Sunday?" she raised an eyebrow "I-I mean…tomorrow" he blushed "Still not sure. Why?" "I just.... I was just wondering if you were going to stay and watch the race. It would be nice if you did" he passed his fingertips over his hair, clearly nervous. She smiled softly "I think it's funny how confident and loose you were in that bar in Milan and how you're so introvert and shy right now" "Well..." he giggled shyly "It doesn't have any alcohol at the paddock" she smiled, warmly, a bit disappointed, it wasn't his intention though "Sure! You can't be drunk at the paddock" "Tipsy" he corrected her, catching her attention "I was tipsy" "Of course" he could smell the sarcasm in the words that left from her lips "Oh, come on! You were tipsy as well!" "I wasn't" "What about the beer you paid me?" "Mine was zero alcohol, Mr Norris" "Zero alcohol?! Aren't you a drinker?" "I do drink. But, I drove back to Ravenna that night" "Oh! Fair enough" so she did mean to kiss him "So that kiss..." he said in a low tone "What?" "It wasn't your half drunk neurons" she giggled "No it wasn't. Just yours" He lifted his arms "Guilty as charged" "Bet you work better when you're sober" "What do you mean?" she smirked, "want to go out with me?" "go out?" "Yeah" "Like a date?" "It doesn't have to be. Just go out to drink something not alcoholic. Show me your sober neurons" he smiled "Sure, but..." Of course it had a but "I don't know if I can right now, we have a press conference and... boring pre-race stuff" she smiled warmly, disappointed again "I get it" "Maybe some other day?" "Yeah, ok. Just gimme a call" "alright. But there's a problem" "What now?" "I don't have your number" she smirked again "Do you want my phone number?" "Yeah, so I can call you when I am free" "Will you use my number if I give it to you?" "I intend to" She bit her bottom lip, hesitating "Okay. Where's your phone?" "Is here" he touched his pockets "Or not. Guess I left it with Charlotte. I mean... she took it from me" she sighed, smiling "You're impossible Lando!" he laughed "I am sorry" He took a black marker from his pocket "I have a pen, tho" she stared at the marker and grabbed it, imitating his voice "You have a pen tho" and started writing down her number on his arm. "On the arm" "Yes" "so it will not fade away if I wash my hands" Exactly" he would tattoo those numbers on his arm if it needed to not lose that "Smart lady" "Thanks" they smiled at each other "here's your marker" he gave a look on the numbers still not completely dry, without touching on it. He grabbed the pen, and their fingertips brushed "I will let you do your boring stuff now" "alright" they couldn't break eye contact "see you then" "see you" she smiled breaking their private atmosphere and turned her heels to leave, but he grabbed her waist and pulled her to himself "what..." turning around in a half circle and kissing her lips briefly before she even finished the line. "I..." "That's me being sober" then he smirked, switching the game she started that night in Milan, leaving her speechless and shy, for the first time "plus, you were going the wrong way" she still couldn't speak "oh! Thanks" she smiled awkwardly, "one more thing: I hate alcohol" "Do you!?" he grinned "Yeah" "so why have you drank that beer?" "I thought you were drinking" "So if I jump off the bridge you do it too" "Of course not, I ain't stupid" "okay..." she couldn't be more confused "one day I tell you". He won, 1x1. Her chin dropped, the hope was taken from her. He smirked, walking backward, feeling invincible just as she did with that kiss, but three times more "bye bye" he said goodbye waving to her and leaving. 'How quick his confidence came back', she thought, loving every single piece of that brief moment, touching lightly her lips still tasting like him, wishing it didn't have to be a goodbye.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that day: 
She walked downstairs, euphoric, walking as fast as she could, calling the first person on her contacts. She thought Lando had boring pre-racing stuff to do. If placing his beautiful British, F1 driver hands, on one of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader's waist, a little lower than what was considered ok, was boring and related to F1 she wanted to be a driver as well. And she was very afraid of high speed. Firstly, she thought she was just being jealous, but when the girl threw her arms around him, his neck and shoulders, those she had gripped just a few minutes ago, playing with the curls on his nape, the ones she caressed at that night in Milan, she almost dropped the iced coffees she bought for her and Daniel on the ground. 
She listened to a few beeps before the other person on the line picked up "Pronto" (go for it) "Giaro" "Ciao, amore mio! Come stai, principessa?" (hi, darling! How are you, princess?) "Potrebbe stare migliore. E tu?" (Could be better. And you?) "Io vado bene. Benissimo. Cosa succede?" (I'm good. I'm great. What happened?) "Sono sola" (I'm lonely) "Perché non l'hai detto prima!? Dove tu sei?" (Why haven't you said it before? Where are you?) "Texas" "Puoi andare a Amsterdam?" (Can you come to Amsterdam?). She thought about Lando, the cheerleader, then to The Netherlands, Giaro, Martin, Louis, and Julian, all her friends in there and finally answered "Sì. Questo è sicuro" (Yeah, that's for sure) "Allora, si vediamo domani?" (So we see tomorrow?) "Si vediamo domani" (We see tomorrow) Giaro cheered "Mille bacione" (Thousand kisses) "Grazie mille" (Thank you so much) "Arrivederci" (Bye) "Ciao" (Bye) she hung up and took a deep breath. It was done. The first flight to Europe was in a few hours, when the race started she would be at an airport lounge, ready to fly away from Austin, away from him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, hum, Daniel" "Howdy, Lando!" he blinked "I don't know what that means" "What!? It's Texan slang! It's how they say hi in Texas" "I haven't... I didn't see anyone saying this but okay. I am looking for a girl. She's that friend of yours. The Italian one" "Are you looking for her? Bad news. She had to leave" "Leave? Why?" "An emergency" "Is she okay?" "Oh, yes, yes. A photographic emergency" "Oh! Is she coming back?" "Let me be more specific: a photographic emergency in Amsterdam" "Amsterdam?!" "Yes. She has a studio there" "So she's gone, just like that?" "She's probably at the airport, but yeah" "fuck..." He grabbed his phone, pulled up his sleeve, and started to tip the numbers written on his arm "Why are you looking for her, by the way?" "She has something that's mine" his interest "Does she? I didn't know you guys..." But Lando started to walk away from him with his phone in his ear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Austin-Bergstrom airport:
 She stared at her phone. Unknown number. Funny. On the same day she gave her number to Lando. Wasn't he too busy with the cheerleader? She ignored him. If she picked she would say things she would regret and she really wanted to have the opportunity of kissing him again. Of being that close of him again. To inspect all his details. His skin, his sun freckles, the gap between his teeth... But not that night or the night before. He had to conquer her. Give her a good reason to open herself physically and emotionally. It wasn't going to be like all the guys before him. Not that time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Damn" he snorted:
she hung up.
