𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧, formula 1

33. I've waited so long

"My friendship!? With the perfect girl!? Are you stupid, Charles?"

"Oh right, I forgot. Damn, that would be sad, lol."

"Did you just say lol out loud?"

"Yeah... George told me to start saying it."

"Okay.. well, I have to go because I'm meeting Isa at the carnival."

"You're not picking her up? Maybe it's better if she rejects you."

"Charles! Don't say that! And no, I'm not picking her up because she told me not to, I don't want to push the buttons so I just said okay."

"You didn't try hard enough, if it doesn't go right, it's your fault."

"Woah, Charles, okay that is mean, bye."

"Ciao, Lando."

Everything was going okay, the first thing Isabella did was apologize for not texting nor hanging out with him, saying she was busy with her test she's supposed to take next Monday. Lando understood and told her not to worry, only that he's glad that she's okay and that she's not mad with him.

They both haven't talked about that night but at the moment, for Lando that was not something he wanted to talk about, he just wanted to be with her.

"Aurora hates me, whenever I'm asking for advices or something, she calls me fucking stupid." Isabella chuckled as she took a bite of the pretzel Lando bought for her.

The boy chuckled, his shoulder bumping with hers. "Charles and Daniel do the same! They always say I shouldn't be offended because they're giving me a reality check." He rolled his eyes.

"Huh, I never thought of that."

They kept on walking, talking and talking. It was like nothing bad ever happened between them, which in a way didn't, but the awkwardness was away.

They grabbed a sit next to each other, Isabella sat with her legs up the bench, and Lando sat with one leg up the bench. The girl grabbed the last bit of the pretzel and handed it to Lando, he opened his mouth and bite it.

"Thank you, ma'am." He smiled, chewing on the pretzel. Isabella smiled and cleaned her hands with a napkin.

They kept their silence, but on the background all there was were people cheering and screaming happily. Lando wondered if this was the perfect time to tell her, but he couldn't help to just stare at her, admiring the way her eyes were shining as she looked at the couples walking. When she looked back to him, she smiled wider, "what are you looking at, creep?"she asked, snorting.

Lando shook his head, "you look so happy right now." He said, still staring at her. Isabella shrugged her shoulders with a shy smile, "I just like being here with you." She confessed, Lando tilted his head, looking away with a smile.

"Can I tell you something?" Lando asked, his hands playing with the end of his shirt. He started doing this because of Isabella's habit, hanging out with her so much made him do the same things. Isabella nodded,, looking right through his eyes.

"I...umm, I like you." He said, looking up. The girl chuckled, "I like you too, Lando."

"No, I mean, I like you— I have feelings for you. I've had them for the longest time, I think since we met," He said with a shy tone. "And I'm not sure if you feel the same way but right now I just want to tell you how I feel because even if it will probably make things awkward, I can't keep it hidden anymore, so yeah, I like you."

Lando waited for the girls' answer, who was just breathing in and out, her eyes shining like they did when she looked at someone she loved. It was 10'seconds, ten seconds Isabella spent processing the guy's words until she finally said something.

"Do you really mean that?" She asked, her voice sounding more shy than it ever did. Lando chuckled, thinking nothing good was going to come out of her mouth.

"Of course I mean it, Isa. Every word I've ever said to you, I meant them. I like you, I like the way you are when you're around people you love and I absolutely love all of your habits, I even started doing some of them because of all the times we hung out, I like you."

Isabella stared at him, smiling through every words he said before grabbing his hand with both of hers. "I like you too, I really like you. Like more than having just a crush on Lando Norris from Formula 1, I like you as the guy who has spent this many months with me without getting tired of me. I just never said anything because it is embarrassing to do the first move, speaking of experience. But yeah, I like you."

Lando was grinning like a kid, nodding at every word she said, squeezing her hand with excitement. "So...can I kiss you?" He asked, nervous. Isabella snorted, rapidly nodding.

Lando cupped his hands on Isabella's cheeks and pulled her closer to him, giving her a small but passionate kiss. He was smiling though the kiss and so was she, they were happy.

Lando pulled away first, his cheeks blushing and his smile making Isabella's eyes shine like they never did. The girl grabbed his face and gave him a peck on the lips, his hand on the girl's tight.

"I've waited so long for this."

She smiled.
