author's note: sorry for the only update in the last couple of days, there will soon be more. for today, i have written a longer chapter to compensate.
i had a question though, before continuing with the chapter: do you like the real life parts in the chapters or do you prefer me to keep it just social media chapters?
without any more ado, here's the chapter!
______
hey in
Hey what did you want to
talk about?
we haven't talked in a bit
Yeah sorry, I have been super
busy with school and such...
I'm in need of a break honestly
o my god samee
So how have you been?
yeah busy with work. you
know, the usual. got some
big shoots coming up. but
i'm doing good
how about you? i saw
you've been making
some friends
George? Noo, he's a
dickhead hahaha
No he's actually a
nice guy
yeah he actually is. i do
miss him sometimes. he
is the fun cousin of the
family you know?
and you and Lando?
The same as you and
Liam
liam and i are just friends?
Yes so are Lando and I :)
But Lando's great! We
just started talking after I
apologized for my comment
about his eyesand then we
met up as he had a
weekend off
that's kind of a time
jump darling. walk me
through the story
It's not that impressive
really. We just got along
very well and kept in
touch
YOU ARE FLIRTING
INDRA MAI ALDINGER
Am not?
YES YOU ARE AND
SO IS LANDO
I don't see it like this
yet😌
Keep on dreaming and
make a move on Liam or
I will make sure he will
I know he likes you but
he is too polite to push
you into things
he's literally just being
nice and I like to stream
with him on Twitch. It's
kind of the only way to
see my friend from the
other side of the world
He lives in England for
the racing right? Not
exactly the other side of
the world
Whatever. New-Zealand
is the other side of the
world though
Alright, if you say so love
how were your days
together anyways?
It was great. He's a big
dork really, but he makes
such a great friend. It didn't
even feel like it was our first
time meeting. Discovered that
we are not great at baking
together lmao
I'm seeing him at the
Nürburgring (?) in a month
so that's going to be fun
yaass girl
george asked me if i wanted
to come along as well, so you
wouldn't have to travel by
yourself.
it's really sweet of lando
to ask you to come along
with him🥺
Honestly, I can't believe
this guy. I was telling him
that I wanted to buy tickets
myself, but I didn't know
which ones because I
obviously don't know
anything F1 related still.
And then the next thing
he arranged a whole
weekend with paddock
access and everything
aahw i'm melting, he is
perfect
Nobody's perfect
shut up you are ruining
the moment
anyways, i'll let you know
if i can make it to the GP
______
Can you video call? I just
arrived at home
Of course, give me a
second
Okay sure

"Hey Carlos, how are you?"
"Hey mate, good to see you. I'm good, you?"
"Yeah I'm great. Tired though."
"Ooh what did you do?"
"No Carlos, we didn't do anything like that."
"I was just messing. How were your days with Indra?"
"It was so much fun. It really is like we have known each other for such a long time but we just met. She is so nice and understanding and we got comfortable around each other quickly, so that was nice. Would have been sort of awkward otherwise."
"Ahw that does sound nice. And what did you do together?"
"We spent the first evening getting to know each other and watching a movie. Then the day after we walked through the city and did some groceries. And the last day we just spent at her house, we had to pick something up from her uncle's house and then we had dinner in town."
"You met her family already?!"
"Yeah her uncle and her niece. It was kind of awkward meeting them indeed, but they were super nice so it wasn't all too weird."
"I don't know what she is doing to me but she makes me feel so good, Carlos. Just being around her drives me crazy, but now being without her it does as well. When she hugs me or just the slightest touch, my whole body shivers, but not in a bad way. We slept in her bed one night and she cuddled up and I was so comfortable."
"Mate. You are so in love."
"I know, and I kind of hate it. I miss her already and that only shows how much impact she has on me. I want her to be in my life but I don't want to rely on her too much. God I don't even know if she feels the same way as I do."
"I think she does, but that she doesn't want to admit it yet. I can ask Isa if she wants to talk with Indra, they have been texting, so maybe she can get to know a bit more?"
"Sure. But I don't want to push Indra into things she might not want."
"I understand, don't worry about it. I have to go training now, so I'll see you Thursday in Sochi?"
"Yeah, see you in Sochi. Thank you Carlos."
"No problem, anytime Lando. Ciao."
"Bye."

Lando thought of their last night spent in Bonn. It was getting chilly outside already, the sun was setting so it didn't warm the two anymore. They walked a little closer to one another to get the disappearing warmth from each other's body.
"I know a nice place to eat if you want? It's one of my favorite places and it's never really busy, so we won't be bothered by people." Indra suggested, alluding to the events of some hours before. People started recognizing Lando and gathered all around, leaving barely enough space for them to move around. Though Indra told him a million times that it was alright afterwards, a feeling of guilt remained in Lando's stomach. He felt like he was ruining the last day for Indra, besides the fact that the fans weren't all too friendly to him as well.
"Yeah, I would love to."
"Great! It is not too far of a walk, we'll be there in five minutes."
Lando was looking at the menu but he didn't understand a thing. It was a small restaurant and apparently only had their menus in German. Indra noticed him staring in confusing and tapped his hand to get attention. "Just ask me to translate the things for you, Lan."
His eyes shot up to her and met her smiley face, oh how she was beautiful. The lights above their table hit her face just right and the shimmer on her cheeks popped out. He nodded slowly, his gaze never leaving hers. Due to them just being focused on each other instead of deciding on what to get, the waiter came to their table and interrupted their staring contest.
Both of them were startled by the waiter and he immediately apologized for his interruption which both of them waved off at the same time, getting their blushes even brighter. "It's okay, you didn't interrupt anything." Indra said, making the heart of the guy across her clench a little. Nothing was going on to be interrupted? Lando thought they were having a moment. To Indra it felt the same, she just showed less of her emotions. The elder waiter did break their moment, but he was just doing his job after all. She was sad that the moment didn't last longer though, but it would be continued right after the man had taken their order.
So Indra quickly ordered her food and told Lando to point his choice on the menu so she could order for him too. The man only spoke German. And as predicted, after the waiter had taken their order and walked off, eyes met again.
His eyes spoke poetry. They gave a message but it depended on what your interpretation was, to receive the message. His eyes spoke love, pure love and adoration.
Her eyes sparked like the sea. They were so beautiful and pure, but you will never be able to predict what was going on inside.
Even from far away you could tell these two adolescents were new, young lovers—hesitantly touching hands, unbreakable stares and deeply flushed cheeks. Only they needed to know themselves and there wasn't anyone going to tell them just to kiss.
Unfortunately even that didn't happen as the look-like-a couple ate their food in silence, the silence only to be broken by a few small conversations.
