REAL LIFE
A loud clap of thunder reverberates all over the track. Amelia, who was lying on the couch with Lando on top of her in his dressing room, is startled. As a result, her boyfriend, who was focused on finding her sweet spot on her neck, was shocked by her shock and nearly fell off the couch.
"Jesus," he mumbles as he recovers and hovers over her again. "I'm sorry," Amelia says, then laughs at her bumbling boyfriend. Her laugh is interrupted by his lips that find their way back to her neck. Gasping for air, she grips the fabric of his McLaren sweater as he sinks his teeth into her skin. It makes her forget entirely what just happened.
"That's what you get for laughing at me," he grins, rubbing his thumb over the red spot where his teeth were two seconds ago. Amelia hooks her leg around his, causing them to change positions and her to be on top of him. "Oh shit," he growls as she begins to rock her hips over his crotch. She cups her hands around his face and kisses his lips hard. He grips her hips tightly, and he tries to set her pace. However, she is very dominant at the moment, completely ignoring his grip.
"Babe, I- fuck," he mutters against her lips. She begins to grin as she feels something grow beneath her from her movements. "You started this," she teases him and grips the back of his hair tightly as she feels his hands under her shirt on her bare skin. "I know," he says out of breath after he let go of the kiss. "And I'd love to finish it. But babe, practice starts in like an hour," he says with great regret. "You really think they're gonna let you practice with this type of weather?" She beckons her head to the window, through which you could see how hard it was raining. "You do remember Spa, right?" she jokes, making Lando chuckle a bit.
"I know. But as long as they don't say anything, I still have to get ready," he says, wriggling out from under her. Amelia sits cross-legged and follows him with her gaze as he gathers his racing gear. "Are you sure you can race with...that?" She points with her head to the visible bulb with a slight grin on her face. Lando's cheeks start to get red, and he turns away from her. "Shut up. It's already hard enough for me not to fuck you on the couch right now," he blurts out. Amelia feels her cheeks turn red and a familiar feeling begins to bubble up in her lower abdomen.
Their moment is interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in," Lando says, and the door swings open. Jon appears in the room and greets Amelia briefly before turning his head to Lando.
"Hey man, I don't know if you heard, but they canceled FP3 because of the rain and thunder. So you're free until the pre-quali meeting," he informs him. "Okay, thanks for letting me know," Lando smiles at him and Jon walks out of the room, closing the door behind him. A moment of silence lingers in the room until Amelia gets up from the couch and walks toward the door. She locks it and turns to Lando.
"What was it you wanted to do with me?" She grins and walks his way. Lando drops the racing suit he was holding. When she faces him, his arms slide around her waist and he pulls her closer. "Fuck you on this couch," he says under his breath, bringing his face closer to hers. Their lips are millimeters apart from touching each other, but he makes sure it doesn't come to that. "Hard," he finishes his sentence and then crashes his lips onto hers.

"Sorry I'm late," Lando says as he bursts into the briefing room. "Sit quickly so we can get started," Will says. Lando nods and takes his place at the table. He puts his red drinking bottle down on the desk and grabs the headphones in front of him. When he wants to put it on, he sees Daniel, who is sitting opposite him, grinning at him. Lando forms a 'what' with his mouth. The Australians point at his own neck.
"It's a bit red there, mate. I would do this if I were you," he whispers to his teammate and makes the gesture of lifting his collar. Red-faced, Lando tries to put his collar over the hickey on his neck. Laughing, Daniel shakes his head at him, and then both try to focus on the briefing that begins.
Halfway through the meeting, Lando starts to get bored. They had discussed his qualifying strategy and were now working on Daniel's. He takes his phone out of his pocket and looks at the messages he'd received. One jumped out, and with a smile on his face, he opened the chat.
baby ❤️

Grinning, he puts his phone back in his pocket and focuses again on what Will is saying. His head went to Q3, how hard he was now going to try to take pole position. Of course, he always did his best, but maybe now a little more than usual.

Qualification had finally arrived. Q1 and Q2 had already ended and Lando had passed them with ease. He had just completed his first lap on intermediates and was now discussing their next move quickly with Will. In the meantime, they keep a close eye on what the other drivers are doing and based on that data on which tire they would go out.
"Give me softs," he says to his race engineer and takes place back into the car. Will passes the order on to the mechanics, who immediately follow up and bring new tires from the rack. From a distance, Amelia and Charlotte watch as the new tires are fitted to Lando's car and as it is prepared for the final round of qualifying. "Hopefully this works out," she tells Lando's PR manager as the papaya McLaren pulls out of the garage.
The whole team concentrates on the screen in front of them. Lando's name appears in the black bar at the bottom and as soon as he crosses the finish line, the clock starts to run. Holding her breath, Amelia watches the colors appear below the clock. The first sector turned green, which means that at least he had improved his own time. The second sector then turned purple. It seriously looked like he was going to take pole. He drives into the last corner, then crosses the finish line. The last sector also turns purple, just like Lando's name, which jumps to the top of the list. Amelia's mouth falls open. Lando took freaking pole position. She couldn't believe it. Everyone around her in the garage starts cheering. They jump into each other's arms as they hear Lando and Will talking over the board radio.
"Is that done then, or what?" They hear Lando ask impatiently.
"Yeah it's done, hang on, hang on," Will says nervously. "Okay, eh... pole position mate, pole position,"
"LET'S FUCKING GO! WHOO! YEAH BABY!" Lando cheers on his board radio, putting the biggest smile on the faces of all team members. After all the cheering, the team walks out and waits for the top three to arrive. Lando parks his car in front of the middle sign and gets out of his car as quickly as possible. First of all, he jumps into the arms of Jon, who was waiting for the young driver next to Amelia.
"Congrats, mate," he says with a laugh and releases him after a few seconds. Lando thanks him and then turns to Amelia. She wraps her arms around him with the biggest smile ever. "Congrats, champ," she says with tears in her eyes. "Thanks, love," she hears him say emotionally, and he tightens his grip for a moment and spins her a couple of times before letting go of her. "Guess that's round two for tonight," he winks at her and then quickly walks away to the rest of his team, leaving her speechless.
