I agree with Lando that he'll walk past our hospitality and I'll wait outside before following slightly behind him to somewhere we can be alone. As we walk through the paddock we reach what is probably the quietest spot we're going to find. Lando grabs my hand pulling me with him around the side of one of the many buildings.
"I know you're with your dad but I had to see you" my back is pressed up against the wall behind me and Lando's lips are on my neck. This was unexpected and rougher than I thought he'd be but I don't stop him.
"Are you okay?" Sensing something is wrong I rest my hands on Lando's hips holding him close to me.
"Not really, I gave that win away and did so bad. I made some terrible decisions when it came to boxing and tyres"
"Lando you came third in your home race, you should be so proud of yourself. I saw your mum and dad when I was watching the podium celebrations and they were beaming with pride" kissing Lando I run my fingers through his hair. I hate the thought of him being disappointed with himself "you will get your win and when you do you'll realise all of the effort you have put in to every season, especially this one will have been worth it".
"Thank you. I needed to hear that Lu" letting Lando kiss me again in this moment in time I don't care if anyone finds us. He needed someone and he came to me. If it hadn't already crossed my mind that I could have feelings for this man, seeing him open up to me would definitely ignite that "will you be at the closing party?"
"Yeah I'll be there I can't miss the biggest event of the weekend" agreeing to see Lando at the party I let him go to finish his media duties. Heading back to the Aston Martin lounge I'm trying to make sense in my own head of what just happened. Lando has friends and family here but he came to me. Surely if this weekend was just about sex he wouldn't have opened up to me. Deciding not to read too much into it, I turn my attention to getting ready for the Silverstone closing party. It's the most glamorous event of the weekend; as well as all the teams and drivers celebrities from across the world of sport and entertainment attend. It's not black tie formal to the point of sitting down for meals but it is dress to impress. This year I have gone all out, picking a dress full of sequins and glitter. I go with a styled up-do to keep the attention on my dress, I want that to do the talking.
"Lucía are you joking you look insane!" Chelsea practically screams at me as I meet her outside of my dad's motor home. He's gone ahead of me to the party purely because he's too impatient to wait for me to get ready. "That boy won't be able to keep his hands off you"
"The fact you call him that boy is hilarious but I love it however the way I'm feeling about him at the minute I don't think that him keeping his hands off me is a bad thing. I went to see him after the race" I admit to Chelsea needing to get it off my chest.
"That's when you know a driver is serious about you when they're asking to see you. What happened?"
"Chels he was so down. Looking at his face I would say he'd been crying, I've never seen a driver beat themselves up as much as he was" thinking about how upset Lando was makes me want to make everything right for him. I can't make him win a race but I can be there as much as possible if he'll let me.
"Try and spend time with him tonight, you might be in public but try not to sleep with him and just get to know him as a person" taking on Chelsea's advice I make my way into the event. My eyes fall to Lando and lock with his instantly. He's dressed in all black with the top buttons of his shirt left open just enough to see a bit of his chest and his sleeves rolled up. He's looks so good. Walking over to the bar to order myself a wine it doesn't take long to feel a presence next to me. Without even looking I can tell it's Lando just by the way he smells.
