Work, and then came love

.SEVEN.

A few weeks had passed and to be honest they had past very fast. I am putting it down to the fact that I just love my job. Training Lando has become even easier with our bond getting stronger and dear I say it a little flirty at times. For example, instead of going into the gym for one training session we decided to go on mountain bike ride. I arrived at his house early in the morning, still with my eyes half shut, as the night before we were up late texting. Oh and I now have his number, he decided communicating over Instagram wasn't that professional. Layla thinks it was him just getting my number though, nothing to do with work. Anyway, I arrived at his house early in the morning and we went on our bike ride up the mountains which where only an half hour drive from his house. We used his car, no way were we going to fit to bikes in my Mini. After a quite ride up the hill, with nothing but my speaker playing, we made it to the top. At the top of the mountain there was room to lay down a blanket to eat a snack before we head back down. I laid down my red tartan blanket and sat down taking my back pack off. Lando joined me. We where just chatting about stuff, but the whole time his hand was on mine which was on the blanket. I didn't even think to move my hand, it felt so right. The warmth from his hand made me feel safe. After a while his thumb started to stroke my hand and I didn't want to move. His hand on mine, the beautiful view (I mean the mountains this time, but Lando is a handsome man) and the feeling I had not experienced. It was a moment of slight realization. Layla wasn't shocked her when I told her this story, she has always said that she thinks he likes me. I would just say no because I don't want to imagine too much what it would be like if we were an item.

Now I am packing my suit case for my first ever race, the first face of the season. The opener. I've packed all my comfy clothes, so like my joggers and my jumpers and baggy graphic tees but when it comes to posher outfits I have no idea what so ever. Lando told me we need to take some posh clothes because we have formal team dinners some nights and he said you never know we might go out. I didn't tell Layal that, she would just go mental and scream even more. We all know I can't handle her screaming. "Layla, will you help me pick some nice, posh outfit for my team meals and stuff?" I say as I barge into her room, seeing her just sprawled on her bed. "Of course, you can borrow some of my clothes as well." We both head into her walk in r, she picks of this very frilly dress which is white, I shake my head. "You know full well I would never wear that, look at all the frills Layla. Ewwww!" I say while flapping the frills about. Next she pulls out this red dress. It's not a tight dress which I love because then I don't need to be worrying about feeling skinny in comparison to all the other pretty girls who will be there. We pick out a few more dresses putting them in my suit case. I finish packing by putting team shirt and trousers in my case. Time to go to bed. My flight is an early ne tomorrow, 6am to be precise. Lando is picking me up at 3:00am so e get to the airport in time. I hop in the shower quickly, wash my face, clean my teeth and then slide into bed. I settle down to do some reading for the night, opening the third book of the series that I am reading. My phone lights up from my side table, it is a text from Lando,

From: Lando N

Hey Aspyn, is it alright if I stay at yours tonight? It will be loads easier in the morning saves me getting up even earlier.

I see the text, my eyes widen. He wants to stay at my house, I look like this though. I run through to Layla's room show her the text. she smiles at me, as if she is telling me to say yes. I frown at her, not sure if I should say yes. My head wrestles with my heart but eventually my heart wins.

To: Lando N

Yeah sure you can, prepare for Layla though she is excited to meet you.

From: Lando N

Good because I'm kinda already outside x

Panic hit me. What the fuck!!! He is already outside, I look like a troll, all I am wearing is a over sized t and my pants. The house is abit messy I must admit. The door bell rings. Layla runs to the landing and I'm frozen still at the top of the stairs. I pair of small black shorts hit me in the face, knocking me out f a daze which felt like minutes. I slide them on while trying to run down the stairs, being careful not to trip. I finally reach the bottom of the stairs, chucking my hair into some sort of a un with a scrunchy I found on the sofa. Suddenly, I am behind the door. I take one last deep breath, trying not think too much about what I look like right now. I swing the door open. My eyes lock with Lando's, and his moth curls up into a big smile. So does mine.

Lando's POV

The door swings open and my head darts up to meet Aspyn's Bright blue eyes. She's in her pj's but to be honest she looks so freaking cute if you ask me. I am so pleased that is listened to the boys about asking to stay here tonight and the early flight was the perfect cover up. Her smile lights up the room, as she shows me inside, reminded me to take my shoes off. I was too distracted looking at her to be honest. Her sun kissed blonde hair tied into a bun on her head with a few strands hanging loose, her black graphic T which is tucked into the shortest black shorts I have ever seen. I think I was distracted by that if I am honest, how could I not look at her arse when it is right there in front of me. I mean I see it at work in the leggings she wear but this is a big surprise. "Would you like a drink Lan?" she says as we enter the lounge and kitchen a bit further. "Yeah sure, can I have some water please?" I say. My head turns to the stairs which is found in the middle of the lounge and kitchen. This must be Layla. "Hi, I'm Lando. Nice to meet you" I say while grabbing my glass of water Aspyn had slid over to me. "Hey Lando, I see you are staying over tonight, I don't want to hear any funny business you two. I need sleep as well" she winks at Aspyn as she finishes filling her bottle up and heads back upstairs to where ever she came from. Why was she whispering at Aspyn, does Aspyn like me like me. No she can't, I bet she doesn't why would she like someone like me. I always end up liking people who are never going to like me back. My face is heating up at the thought of her possibly liking me, I look at Aspyn who is hiding her face my her, wavy hair covering her face.

Aspyn POV

"I will sleep on the sofa tonight so you can sleep on the bed. You need the sleep more than me" I say while grabbing the big blanket from the wicker basket. His hand grabs my hip from behind, spins me around. Our faces are so close to on another, I don't know what to look at. I settle on looking at the floor, trying to hide the awkwardness in my eyes. "No way is someone as special as you sleeping on the floor" he says in a soft voice while is thumb is stroking my side. The feeling make me crumble. "Okay well, the next option is for us both to sleep in my bed up stairs. I hope you are okay with that?" the quiver in my voice from being this close to him must be heard in my voice as he moves his hand to bring my face up. Once again our eyes are locked onto one another. "I don't mind sharing a bed with you." he says no almost whispering. I nod my head and we head upstairs and into my room. I'm going to have to text Layla all of this tomorrow she will be dying to know what is going on. I show him where the bathroom is and while he is in there I slide back into bed putting some pillows in-between us. I'm on the slide closest to my big window. Lando walks out the bathroom with some black shorts on and a white top. I'm glad he isn't shirtless, I don't think I could've handled that tonight, after what happened in the lounge. "This is such a comfy bed, way better than the hotel bed we will be staying in" I hear him murmur from the other side of the bed. "Thanks, I went round lying on all the bed in the shop trying them out." We both laugh, imagining the image of me going round lying on close to 100 beds. I check the time quickly to see that it is already nearly 11pm, we need to sleep now otherwise the team is going to have two very grumpy people on there hands. "Night Lando" I say while letting out a big yawn. "Night Aspyn, sweet dreams" he replies as he roles over facing the outside of the bed.
