The Unexpected

Chapter 8: Unwanted

I tried to get out of this dude's grip as much as I could but it was no use. This dude dragged me to the dance floor and got all up in my business, I tried to push him off, but I couldn't. Just then I saw Lando coming over "Hey get off of her!" I was soooo thankful he'd found me. "Woah there buddy you her boyfriend or something?" "Ya she's my girl, so let go of her Right Now!" I looked at him surprised, did he actually call me his gf rn? I know this should be the last thing I'm thinking about at this moment but he actually called me his gf! To be fair it's just so this dude can leave me alone but that's still a win in my book.

This dude wasn't catching the hint though, "You sure you're her boyfriend, she looks surprised to see you" I most definitely was surprised, but at what he was saying. Then Lando looked like he was getting ready to do something he'd regret but luckily security came by and escorted the creep out just in time.

I think I was in a state of shock honestly "Lando can we just go back to the hotel please" he looked at me concerned " Ya of course, are you alright though, did he hurt you" "n-, no I mean I think my arm's slightly bruised from his grip but nothing too bad" "Bri, I'm so sorry I shouldn't have let you go off like that by yourself ". Did he seriously feel like he was to blame, he literally saved me "Lando no one would have guessed this was gonna happen. I'm just grateful you found me in time"

We left the club and Lando got us a cab so we could get back to the hotel as fast as possible. Once at the hotel he dropped me off at my room, worried that something else might happen, I think the alcohol was starting to kick in at this point though, because I asked him to stay a little longer. It was extremely irresponsible on my end, as we both had to wake up early tomorrow, but I didn't care at the moment. I was totally wasted with no shame or care.

He looked at me unsure of what to say, but he stepped into my room and made himself comfortable on the couch. I was happy that he stayed, but I didn't know if I trusted drunk me not to screw things up.

He turned the tv on asking what I'd want to watch, the options didn't really matter since it wasn't in English, so it's not like we'd be able to understand anyways. We ended up settling on watching "Friends", I sat down next to him on the couch and we watched. At some point I got cold, so I went to get a blanket and brought back to the couch. We decided to share the blanket forcing our bodies to move closer, then I rested my head against his chest, I swear I heard his heart starting to beat faster. We stayed like this until we both fell asleep.

When I woke up I found myself wrapped around in Lando's arms, I was surprised he hadn't left.
I was slightly hungover, my head was hurting, and my throat was kinda dry but other than that I felt fine. I tried to look at the time without waking Lando up, but I guess my plan failed as I heard him ask me what time it was, with his voice hoarse from sleep. "Morning to you too Lando it's 7 we need to get to the track soon." "Soon being the key word, I think I'm gonna drift off to sleep for a little while longer"
As he said that I thought he'd for sure move his arm away from me but he didn't.
"Lando as much as we'd both love to stay in bed we NEED to get up" "fine only if you eat breakfast with me once we get to the paddock's cafeteria" "you have yourself a deal Lando, and that means a lot because I never wake up early"

"What are you gonna wear to work today" " I don't yet, why you have any suggestions?" "Actually I do, while you were rummaging through your bags last night I saw a certain orange hoodie I think looks nice" "I must admit Lando that was smooth" "thank you, what can I say I have a lot of experience, it's not easy pleasing all those fans" "see I'd wear it only I have my thing with Max today for Red Bull" "Bri are you serious leaving McLaren's team so soon, I'm gonna quote your brother here and say that was a knife to the heart" "if that's the case then don't be so surprised when you see bad pics posted on your socials" "you wouldn't dare Bri" "are you so sure about that Lando?" I grabbed his phone out of his pocket and started to open his socials. He tried his best to get his phone back but couldn't reach it so he cornered me against the wall. I could feel his warm breath against me, we were so close, I swear he was just as tense in the moment as I was.

We moved on pretending like nothing happened but on our way to the track all I could think about was Lando's body wrapped around mine this morning. That and how I was gonna manage covering up the bruise from last night, since I don't want my brother to worrying. And in the blink of a moment we were at the track. We were walking over to cafeteria as we'd promised, but while I was walking over my phone went off, it was coach calling. I guess they finally saw my text. I split off from Lando for a second and told him I'll meet him there.
