No strings attached

8.

I was sitting in the storage room of the store. I needed a quick break, dealing with customers definitely was challenging sometimes.
They always expected you to care if they threatened to buy their damn toilet paper somewhere else.
Newsflash: we didn't care at all.

"You look like shit" Josh said as he walked in the storage room as well.
I was sitting against some racks, so he came to sit next to me. "Well thanks" I laughed, but he was right, I probably looked like shit. I didn't sleep enough because I was working or studying pretty much all the time.
"How was the birthday sex?" I smiled at him but he just shrugged his shoulders.
"He was good looking but the face didn't match with everything else if you know what I mean" he laughed a little. I definitely knew what he was trying to say.
"How was your night? Did you leave with someone?" I didn't need to answer his question, he knew me well, too well. "Oh my God, do I know him?" He looked at me enthusiastically. I shook my head. It was a lie, he definitely knew who Lando was, but he didn't need to know everything.
"But the package definitely matched the face" I nudged him with my shoulder.

"There is someone asking for you" Stella, another coworker, opened the door of the storage and looked at us.
Josh and I both looked at each other. We were both hoping they asked for the other person.
"For you Aimée" she pointed at me. "Ugh fuck" I groaned while Josh started laughing.
"Don't laugh Josh, you're missing out on something because he's hot" Stella said with a little giggle.
Josh immediately stood up as well and followed me outside the storage room.
We both looked at the registers and Josh started laughing within a second.
"That guy wants to give you more than just the little sausages he buys here" he said. I frowned as I looked at him.
"His big sausage too, you know.." Josh explained.
"I can't believe you just said that" I looked at him as I shook my head.
Imagine if he knew we actually already had sex. He would freak out.

I walked to the register with a sigh, not that I didn't want to see him, but it was still a little awkward.
"Hi Lando" I said with a smile. I looked at his hand, he was holding his phone, but nothing else. He didn't want to buy anything.
"Can you take a quick break?" He asked. It was a question I didn't expected at all.
I looked behind me, to Josh and Stella, they were eavesdropping on our conversation. They both nodded in sync.
"Sure" I said as I walked outside with Lando by my side.
I didn't know what to say or do. Why did he come to my work? Just to talk? We weren't friends.

"I need you" he let out a little sigh when he finally spoke. He needed me?
"I am sorry?" Did he even realize who he was talking to? A random girl from the local supermarket where he bought sausages and other crap?
"Look, I'm dealing with a lot right now and I totally forgot about it when we were having sex. I am not asking you to marry me, I just want to have casual sex" Did I fall asleep in the storage room and was this some kind of dream?
He didn't seem the type to do casual sex, but then again, I didn't know him at all.
"Like friends with benefits" he summarized. "We are not friends" I had to force myself not to laugh but he just rolled his eyes. "You know what I mean" he mumbled.
"Just casual sex" I repeated his words. It was a pretty good offer. I was way too busy to deal with the dating scene and he seemed not interested in that either.
I had a feeling someone broke his heart, he was still suffering from it, I recognized that look, I recognized the way he didn't want to get too close to someone else. Emotionally atleast.

"Fine" I nodded. A little smile appeared on his face. "But we have to set some rules" it's not like I had much experience with this, I only had a handful of one nightstands and those things didn't require any rules.
"You can't fall in love with me, no feelings, no jealousy, just sex" I said, he just responded with a nod. "And you can't expect a future with me, don't expect dates, no sleepovers, paddock passes or whatever" he said as he put his hand out, I quickly shook his hand. "That's a deal"
I wasn't interested in dates or paddock passes anyway, I never watched F1 before, I wasn't gonna start now.

We exchanged our numbers after our agreement and said our goodbyes.
Did I just agree to have casual sex with an extremely hot F1 driver?
