Rosie
It feels surreal that I'm now the girlfriend of the boy who used to take the piss out of me growing up! He never showed that sort of interest before but I know I had little crushes on him growing up! We've decided to keep it to ourselves for a little while just till we have fully settled into it before we get media and our friends and family butting in. Can't be forever though or I will start to think he doesn't want to! We have a week in between now and Baku next weekend and Lando has asked if I want to stay with him for a few days. I know I need to go into Williams today and tomorrow at the very least but I should be able to work on some stuff remotely whilst I'm with Lando. "Come on George! Or I will leave without you" I yell from the bottom of the stairs "I'm coming!" I hear him yell back and I decide it's best to head out to the car. I grab my keys off of the side and unlock my Golf.
It's about an hour to The Grove and as usual me and George had a playlist on and we screamed along the whole drive. As much as he pisses me off most of the time I couldn't imagine my life without my brother. "See you at 2?" I check and he nods heading towards the Sim as I follow the familiar route to the garage. "Morning" I yell out and I get pulled into a hug from Jake "Hi! How have you been?" He questions and I smile "alright, just slept a lot, the jet lag kills me from China" he laughs at me "I'm sure George loved the company" he jokes "well I cook him dinner most nights so I feel like we are equal!" He rolls his eyes "fair enough" Jake says before getting called away back to the car, they are practising pit stops. I watch for a few minutes before heading to my desk "Hi Marcus" I say taking my seat next to his "Morning Rosie" I load up my laptop "we are loosing too much time in the straights, what can we do?" I question and we dive into ideas and data.
Monday and Tuesday flew by and before I know it my throwing my bag into the boot, I told George that me and Lando are now official and he seemed happy about it "behave! Don't do anything stupid" he warns me and I pull him in for a hug "I will be home Saturday so you can't miss me too much" he shrugs "I will enjoy the peace" he informs me "of course" I nudge his ribs "drive safely please" I nod my head and climb in the drivers seat waving before I peel out of the driveway.
It takes me just over and hour to arrive at Lando's house. I pull in the drive way and spot the familiar Papaya Clio on the driveway. I switch the engine off and climb out of the car, I pull the boot open and lean in to grab my bag when I feel arms around my waist "I'm so happy you are here" Lando tells me and I spin in his arms placing my lips on his "me too" I mumble "was the drive okay?" He asks and I smile "it was okay! It's not overly far from home" I explain and he grins "sleepovers more often then!" He celebrates before leading me into his house. I haven't actually been here before, I've seen it on FaceTime but this is my first invitation to come over. "Not gonna lie it's nicer in here than I expected" looking around and seeing how clean it is "I did tidy up before you arrived" he blushes as he leads me into the kitchen "tea?" I nod my head and he pops the kettle on "it's surreal that you are sat at my kitchen table" I laugh "we've known each other for a years and it's taken this long for me to visit your house, I don't know whether or not to be offended" he laughs "well I'm George's best mate not yours, he's been here" he tells me "well that's fair I suppose"
We've been chilling just catching up when my phone starts to ring and I see it's Soph "am I okay to take this?" He nods "of course" I step out into the kitchen "Soph? Are you okay?" I ask quickly "I am, sorry I didn't mean to panic you" my heart rate decreases "that's good! I'm at Lando's so I can't have a girly chat I'm afraid" she goes quiet "you are at Landos?" I'm getting confused "yeah I'm staying till Saturday" I explain when I hear a knock at the door "Ella said she was headed to Lando's this afternoon, I just wanted to see where you guys are at before putting her in her place" my heart sinks and I find myself walking towards the door "Ella I've told you I'm seeing someone, you know I'm seeing someone" I hear Lando pleading with her "she's here" I whisper to Soph "shit, stay on the phone" she tells me "but Lando we had something special" she whines "I'm sorry Ella but you knew it wasn't more than sex, I have explained that to you enough" he is sounding frustrated "I got the job with McLaren to see you" she complains "and I found that a bit much, nothing has been going on with us since last year, I'm sorry if you didn't know that" he tells her and I feel relieved that it was that long ago. I walk over to the door feeling my anger at her bubbling under the surface "hi Ella, you okay?" I question stepping behind Lando "oh Rosie?" She looks confused "I wasn't expecting you" she says and I improve my glare "I could say the same" I retort and Lando grabs my hand "Rosie" Soph hisses down the phone and I hang up. "Right Ella you need to go, I'm not sure what you were expecting turning up at my house" Lando starts and she interjects "well you said you had plans with your girlfriend this weekend I just assumed they were with me" she complains and I start to get concerned "go home Ella" Lando says firmly but with a gentle tone she seems to debate with herself and then she says "okay, see you Monday" she comments looking directly at me before turning on her heel and walking up the drive.
I wander back into his living room and curl my legs beneath me on the sofa. I message Soph just letting her know what's happened. I let out a sigh "I'm sorry Rosie, genuinely I had no idea" Lando comments sitting down next to me. I shake my head "this isn't your fault, she has been speaking about you for the last few weeks" I let him know and his eyebrows raise "she has?" I nod "that's why I got a bit funny last weekend because she was telling everyone you guys were seeing each other" a realisation crosses his expression "I'm sorry Rosie, it's only you, it's only ever been you" I lean my head down into his shoulder and his hand plays with my hair "can we get back to our sleepover?" He questions and I laugh "of course we can!"
We decided to watch the Star Wars movies from the beginning and we've just got to the end of the second movie, my stomach starts growling and I see it's 6pm "you hungry?" Lands asks "yeah! What's the plan?" He grins "well I can't cook but George says you are quite a whizz in the kitchen" I roll my eyes "of course he did" I stand up "well then what am I making?" He skips off into the kitchen "well I got stuff in for Fajitas, Chilli or maybe chicken wrapped in bacon?" He shouts and I wander into the kitchen seeing him practically inside the fridge. I walk round "Fajitas?" He nods "they are my favourite!" I laugh "well then let's get the ingredients out" I barge my way in front of him "what are all of these?" I gesture to all of the yogurt cartons? "Oh well I hate fish so these are like Omega 3 fish supplement things, they taste like Petit Filous" I laugh "you hate fish that much?" He nods whilst gagging. I pull out the chicken and salad items before pulling out an avocado "I'm making guacamole" he looks at me "have I mentioned yet how lucky I am?" I shake my head and he pulls me into a hug "well you are the absolute best!" He tells me kissing my hair.
Friday evening
The last few days have been hilarious and fun and I really don't want to leave in the morning. We haven't done anything crazy exciting but we spent most of our time together. I had to do some remote work and Lando went to the MTC for Sim work yesterday. "Rosie, wanna go to the beach?" Lando asks wandering into the kitchen spotting me cuddling my coffee, I'm not used to sharing a bed so I haven't been sleeping overly well "I would love that!" I say "great, can you be ready in 30 minutes?" I nod my head and rush out of the kitchen hearing Lando laughing behind me. I put on barely any make up and sort out my hair before pulling on black leggings and what I think is one of George's sweatshirts, it isn't the warmest day to go to the beach but I'm excited all the same. I run back downstairs and see Lando sat on one of his bar stools looking at his phone. He looks up and grins at me "look at you!" He says pulling me in for a hug "you ready?" He asks and I nod grabbing my coat and handbag from next to the door.
We arrive at the beach about an hour later "well it's chillier than I expected!" Lando says "you are always cold" I tell him "yeah well" I laugh and grab his hands as we wander down towards the beach "I want everyone to know we are together, I don't want more Ella problems" he tells me as we step onto the beach "okay if you think that's a good idea?" He nods "I feel beyond lucky to have you" he explains and my heart flutters "okay then!" I agree and he kisses me gently. We sit for a while looking out across the waves, it's really peaceful. I lean my head down on his shoulder "thank you for the last few days" I tell him "I wish you could be here all the time" he says "Well who knows what the future holds" I say and I feel the urge to splash my toes in the cold water. I pull my trainers off before running into the water squealing at how cold it is "what are you doing?" Lando shouts running over with his shoes still firmly on his feet "living Lando!" He shakes his head "you are crazy!" I don't disagree "Rosie" I turn and Lando takes a picture of me. We spend the rest of the day listening to the waves, we went on a walk along the coast to the next town along and got an ice cream before walking back to the car. "Thank you for today" I tell Lando "I had the best day" he tells me kissing the side of my head before putting the car in reverse and starting the drive back.
*mature*
I'm sat on the end of Lando's bed packing all of my stuff away and I feel like I never want to leave. I'm folding a pair of jeans when I hear him clear his throat in the doorway "you do look like you belong here" he tells me walking over and sitting down. I smile sadly "I do really like it here" he grins "good because you are going to be spending more time here!" I grin up at him the slightly sad mood has faded and I lean in to kiss him. He starts deepening the kiss and I know I feel ready for this so I move my hands to wrap around his neck pulling myself into his lap "you sure?" He asks and I nod, we've been close a couple of times over the last few days and I know I'm ready. Suddenly it's like Lando is in a rush, his finger tips trace my skin as he pulls my sweatshirt over my head and he tucks his fingers into the waistband of my leggings pulling them down to my feet. My hands are desperately clutching at his body trying to pull him even closer but there wasn't any closer. Lando pulls back and looks straight into my eyes "are you sure?" I nod my head and he caresses his thumb along my thing causing a whimper to slip out of my lips. I lay my self back on the bed bringing Lando with me. He draws circles on my inner thigh gradually getting higher and higher. "Please" I whisper and lock eyes with Lando who has a dirty smirk on his face, I clutch tightly onto his back my fingers pulling tightly on his T-shirt "aren't you going to make me work for it?" He questions huskily "next time" I manage as he looks very pleased with himself. "Please stop talking" I say and he hoists me up pulling me down on-top of him "no more talking" he takes my
mouth with his.
*end*
I cuddle up into his side feeling really practically blissful "you okay?" Lando asks as I nuzzle my nose into this chest "never better" I tell him. We cuddle for a while him just tracing circles on my back causing goosebumps to appear and never go away. "Wanna get some dinner?" He asks and I shake my head "I don't wanna move" I complain "well as we are here can you help me decide what to say to let the world know you are mine?" He asks and suddenly I'm on high alert "uhmmm sure" I sit up slight as he grabs his phone bringing up Instagram. He picks them photo he took at the beach earlier and types out a caption and passes me the phone to read and my heart swells "perfect"
@landonorris so I know some people have probably figured this out already but this is my girlfriend @rosierussell63 I've known her for most of my life at this point and I realised I didn't want a life without her as part of it. I couldn't be more lucky and I hope you will all love her as much as I do ❤️
