special shoutout to @l444ndojpg for reading over this chapter and for reassuring me on it đŤśđŤśđŤś she's the best when her story isn't making me go crazy (in a good way!)
part of the lando's heart series.
lando's pocket felt extra heavy.
not only his pocket, but maybe his whole body. palms sweating and heart hammering as he watched you run ahead of him on the beach. thankfully you were only a few steps ahead of him. his footsteps easily following yours that you are leaving behind in the sand.
his eyes never once leave your figure, watching as you playfully laugh as you try to avoid the water that rushes onto the shore. lando swears he feels his heart skip a beat every time he hears your laugh. he's honestly thankful he was able to find this small private beach for the two of you. it was nice to not have to worry about other people â or cameras â following the two of you for once.
just you and him.
and the ring that sits heavy in his pocket.
so far this summer break has been going perfectly, and you honestly seem to be none the wiser to his actual goal for this trip. lando truly can't even fathom how lucky he is to be with you. he can't help but let his eyes drag over your body, the fitted, knitted dress you're wearing hugging all your curves perfectly. your swimsuit stands out underneath the dress and he feels a familiar warmth spreading through his body as he watches you.
it honestly makes him want to lay you out on the sand and take you here and now. no. not right now, maybe afterwards when you say yes.
well... he's hoping you'll say yes. lando is 99.9% sure you'll say yes to him.
the world champion feels like everything is falling into place. finally. even after the shitty season he's been having, nothing can take away this moment for the two of you. lando would probably fight someone if they did try to ruin it for him.
"hey," he calls out softly, earning your attention immediately. lando watches you turn around, eyes sparkling under the golden sky and he feels his heart skip a beat as he looks at you. it honestly takes him a moment to gather his thoughts back. "come here, pretty girl."
you laugh before you're walking over to him, his hand out stretched for you to take. he notes how soft your hands feel, remembering the lotion you rubbed all over your body earlier that morning. that's probably why his hands feel so soft as well, cause you made him also put some on his hands. "they'll get too dry if you don't moisturize, lan!" you told him as you rubbed it into his hands for him.
lando tugs you towards him once he has your hand, letting you bump into him as you both smile at each other. his free hand coming up to move some stray hairs from your face. "let's play twenty questions," he says, arms wrapping around your waist as your own dangle off around his shoulders.
he watches your eyebrows raise for a moment before nodding, "okay!"
"what's your current favorite color?" he starts off.
you can't help but roll your eyes at the question, "you always start with that one, lan!"
"just answer."
"fine..." you huff with a smile, "i guess it would have to be... pink! for right now anyways." lando doesn't think there could be a better answer than that. "my turn! what's your favorite memory of us together?"
"the night after my first win â after the partying and we came back to the hotel room and you basically smothered me in kisses until we fell asleep like that."
"who would have guessed mr. world champion is such a sap," you tease, laughing lightly as lando presses a kiss to your cheek.
"only for you, princess, no one else."
"see~ something only a cheesy sap would say!" lando can't even argue with you because it's true. "okay, you're turn again."
"current ateez biasâ and you can only pick one!" he says, making sure to add the last part quickly when he sees you opening your mouth to quickly answer.
"i can't just pick one," you groan out with a pout as you look into your lover's waiting eyes. with a huff, you then make a thinking face â pausing for a moment as lando can see you actually trying to make a decision, "san." you finally answer.
"see? that wasn't so hard to answer," he teases, his arms wrapping around your waist to pull you flesh against his half-bare chest.
"maybe for you," you mumble and lando can most definitely hear the pout as you bury your face in his chest. your own arms wrapping around him to hug him back. "if you had to associate us with any emojis, what would they be?"
"hmm," he says fake thinking as if he didn't already know what two, "i think the tulip for you and the frog for me."
"because you're funny looking?" lando's hand immediately came down on your ass. hard. "ow! lando!"
"you had that coming, brat, don't even," he says as his hand then kneads the flesh to try and soothe it.
"gosh, you're so mean to me," you say, peering up at your lover who is already looking at you. the golden sky shining beautifully on him and his bronze skin. "okay~ why a tulip and frog?"
"easy. tulips are your favorite flower and a frog because that's what you and fans like to associate me with."
"its your representative animal like a k-pop group would have!" you tease making lando sigh in return.
"yeah... exactly."
at some point, you pull away just enough to tug lando's hand to keep the two of you walking along the shoreline together. questions continuing to bounce off of one another. lando asking you about your favorite moment from the season so far. you ask him what's his favorite meal he's had.Â
"oh look at the shells, lan!" you say, bending down to start digging through the sand some more. the british driver can't help but smile as he crouches down next to you, eyes moving between your excited expression to your hands that are covered in wet sand.
his eyes then focus on your left hand, more specifically your ring finger that sits bare. it only reminds him of what is sitting inside his pocket. waiting for him to get on one knee and pull out.
"here, baby, let me hold them while you look," he says, holding his hands out so you can easily place the small shells you've already managed to find.
"thank you~" you say with a cute, sing-song tone as you move the beautifully colored shells from your hand to his. "kiss?" you ask, eyes meeting his and lando nods with a small before he's meeting you halfway. the kiss is nice and slow, your lips fitting together perfectly and lando can taste the cherry lip gloss you put on your lips earlier.
when you pull away, lando asks, "what question are we on?"
"sixteen~ its your turn," you say as you go back to looking through the sand.
lando thought for a moment, trying to think of a question that the two of you haven't asked before. he looks at you, eyes trailing down the expanse of your bare neck and shoulders and then back up to your side profile, bottom lip between your teeth as you concentrate on digging through the sand.
"what's your favorite sex position?" lando can't help but smirk when he sees that you were caught off guard.
"gosh, i thought this was supposed to be romantic, not vulgar, lan."
"sex is romantic."
"whatever," you say, rolling your eyes but lando can see the small smile gracing your pretty lips. "favorite sex position?" you repeat his question, and he can tell youâre thinking about it. "i think... i don't know probably the mating press," you finally say with a shrug.
"mating press, huh?"
"yeah, i like when you manhandle me into it and my legs over your shoulders. you look really sexy when we do it," you explain. your boyfriend can tell that by the way your voice softens that he's made you a little flustered. which he can't help but find funny because of how often the two of you do have sex.
"don't get shy on me now, baby, just this morning you were drooling around my cock before breakfast," he teases.
"ugh, lando!" you say, hand coming to gently shove him which makes him let out a loud laugh as he's reaching over to give your hip a playful squeeze. "i just can't help it! i can't believe i still get flustered when me and the girls talk about sex. like i'm some teenage virgin."
"you probably get flustered cause you don't want them realizing how sex-crazed you are," he's leaning over in the sand just enough to breathe it hotly into your ear. "how many times have we done it on this trip alone, hm? i think i've honestly lost count. everyday?"
"no, not everyday..."
the driver can't help but to raise an eyebrow at your words, "oh really? do you want me to go back and count?"
"no, no, no! you don't have to do that! anyways, isn't it my turn to ask a question now?"
lando lets out a hum as he nods, watching as you stand up from the sand so you both can continue to walk. "go on then, ask away."
you pause for a second, stopping again so you can look through the sand for more shells. lando easily bending down with you. "what's your favorite cryptid that you most definitely believe is real."
lando smiles at the question, he remembers how this was the first question you decided to ask him on your first date. "nessie, obviously. or mothman since you seem pretty convinced he's real."
"because he is!" you defend, tone hitting a higher pitch at how excited you're getting. "we should have gone to scotland to search for nessie," you tell him.
"next time, i'll take you in-between races," he tells you. your head turns to look at him â side-eye in full effect.
"you promise?" you ask, holding your pinky out and your lover nods before wrapping his larger pinky around yours.
"i promise." he leans over to kiss your cheek as you put another shell into his hand.
"question eighteen, right?" you nod, "do you believe in soulmates?"
"of course, you can't believe in love without believing in soulmates."
"are we soulmates then?" he notices how you pause, breath catching and even though you're not looking at him, lando can still see how your eyes get a certain glint to them.
"i... i like to think we are," you say softly, your fingers drawing random patterns in the sand. the water slowly coming ashore around you both, but neither one of you reacts to it. "i mean... i feel like fate wanted us to be together, and we would have found a way to each other eventually."
"do you think we would have made it this far if we met earlier in our lives?"
"i think we met right where fate wanted us. i don't think either one of us would have been ready if we met before that day at the karting place. you were still building your f1 career and i was still focusing on school before 2022, so... i think we met in the right moment."
"you always amaze me with your talk of fate," he confesses, which makes you let out a small laugh before you're standing up once more. lando also comes to his full height as you reach to open your purse for him to put the shells in. he knows he'll hear you complaining about the sand later.
"i can't help it," you laugh, taking his hand in yours, fingers intertwining together like it was second nature at the point for the both of you.
mainly because it was second nature.
"everything happens for a reason and that reason is fate," you add, hands swinging slightly as you walk side-by-side. the sky in front of you both is a beautiful golden color mixed with pinks, purples, and oranges. lando doesn't think there could be a more perfect sky than this.
"okay, my turn! nineteenâ when did you realize you wanted to date me?"
"easy. it was right after our first date. i remember dropping you off and on the way back to max's house i just... i realized that i wanted to see you again. over and over again. and every time we texted, or facetimed, or saw each other â it just helped me realize how much i wanted you in my life, but in a more official way." he says, gently stopping the two of you from walking further.
"lando..."
"i remember how nervous you were when i came to your place for the first time. shoulders tense when i walked in, and then i watched as you slowly relaxed more and more through the night. i remember picking you up from the airport for the first time and taking you to monaco. how you made sure all your outfits were cute and pretty â like you wanted to show-off just for me," he says, taking your other hands as bumps his forehead against yours. his curls brushing against your skin as he smiles at you.
"i still think about how excited you looked at your first race. how pretty you looked in my garage for the first time, not understanding a thing that was going on, but you still came. still cheered me on and hugged me whenever i got out of the car," you laugh at the memory. lando feels his heart pounding in his throat as he continues to look at you. "i realized i wanted to date you after our first date, but it took me until october to finally ask you out officially."
"we were in austin and had just gotten back to the hotel after i begged you to take me to wendy's," you add with a smile, thinking back on the memory fondly.
"you begged me, but i would have taken you regardless."
"because you love to spoil me," you tease, and lando can't deny it. because it's true.
"question twenty," he says, heart pounding and body heavy. "i've... been thinking about asking you this for a while. since..." he trails off with a laugh as he straighten his body, "you'veâ y/n, you're the most important person to me. i love you so, so much that sometimes my chest hurts from the amount of love i have for you. every since i seen you at the indoor karting place in london four years ago, i just... knew you were it for me. the way you easily spoke to me because you didn't know who i was and even after you found out. you didn't treat me any different. i ask myself how can i be so lucky to have you in my life? to have someone love me so much like you do?"
"because you deserve it, lan, all the love from me, your friends and family, your fans. you deserve it and so much more."
he shakes his head, "i don't want anyone else's love if its not yours, y/n. you've been with me through some of the best and worst moments of my career. from when i crashed in las vegas to my first win in miami. you let me drag you all over the world without any complaint, and... fuck, you love me so selflessly that i feel like i take you for granted sometimes."
"you never take me for granted, love," you say, hand coming up to cup his cheek. wiping away the tear he didn't even know was running down his cheek.
lando lets his free hand slip into his pocket, the small box now feeling even ten times heavier now that he's about to pull it out. like a very expensive brick that could either build a new path, or destroy everything he's been planning.
"my twentieth question," he says with a deep breath, "since last year. i told myself that when i became world champion i would finally ask you this one question. it took everything in me not to just ask you the same night i won, but i knew mom would have died if i did," he laughs out, eyes looking down at your still joined hands. your left hand preciously sitting in his larger, right one.
"you're making me nervous," you confess with a light laugh, trying to ease yourself as you feel your own heart starting to pick up speed.
"don't say that, babe, it only makes me more nervous," he scolds you softly with a laugh, shaking his head. "y/n," he starts, looking up to meet your awaiting eyes, "you are the most beautiful person i have ever met. both body and soul, no one will ever come close to being like you, and i'm so honored that i've been the one you have trusted your heart with."
lando then gets down on one knee, pulling out the small, pink, heart-shaped ring box. you immediately let out a sharp gasp, both hands shooting up to cover your mouth and lando sees how your eyes turn a glassy texture. he's 100% sure that his eyes are matching as he feels that tears start to build up in his own eyes.Â
"i've thought about this moment for months now. dreaming of it and every single scenario that could happen, but having you here in front of me like this... it just makes me more certain that this is it for me," he says, a few stray tears finally running down his cheeks. "my y/n, my soulmate, will you marry me?"
lando's then opening the small box, revealing the beautiful pink, oval-shaped diamond ring that sits perfectly inside. the gold bands decorated with smaller white diamonds and it absolutely takes your breath away.
"lando," you sob out, tears running down your face as you nod your head. "yes! yes, of course i'll marry you!" you tell him as another sob rips through you. lando lets out a wet laugh, his own tears finally coming out as he takes the ring, hands shaking as he slips it onto your left ringer finger.
lando doesn't even get a chance to admire your hand before you're throwing your whole body weight into him. hands cupping the back on his head as you press your lips to his in a full-on passionate and messy kiss. his own hands holding your waist as you both tumble into the sand. the small grains flying around and covering you both as you continue to kiss in the sand. the water coming up and wetting lando's entire back but he doesn't care.
he could be completely covered in oil and wouldn't care because you said yes. yes, to becoming his wife and being with him forever.
"fuck, how did i get so lucky," he says against your lips, his hands holding you tightly against his body â afraid that if he lets go you'll disappear.
"shut up, you muppet," you tell him, tears still running down the apple's of your cheeks as you move to smother his entire face in kisses. "i love you so so much, lando."
"i love you, too, future mrs. norris."
you're then kissing him again, the bali sun setting behind you both as you lay together in the sand, your engagement ring glinting in the fading golden sun as it tangles in lando's curls. and it's at this moment that lando realizes he wouldn't want to be anywhere else, but here. with you, his lovely fiancĂŠe.
it's about lando's friend, sheâs a girl, and they are at pietra's birthday dinner, i believe. magui starts being rude to the best friend. she also has a girlfriend named maya, i believe. that's all i remember. i believe it's a series. thank youuu!
So itâs about Lando having a one night stand with a girl. I think they had a one night stand and she ends up getting pregnant. I think theyâre in Miami. But Oscar and Lily ends up watching the kid and theyâre posting the baby on their Instagram. I donât remember too much of it. Thatâs all that remember. But if someone is able to find it, and then tag me in it. That would be great. thank youuu :)
I never thought Iâd have to make a post like this, but unfortunately, one of my works has been stolen by another author, who is reposting it as if it were entirely their own.
Sadly, this isnât the first time this person has done something like this, and I think itâs important to speak up because every story we write represents hours of planning, writing, editing, and creativity. Having someone take that work and claim it as their own is incredibly disheartening.
I have proof that the story is mine and that it was published by me first. If youâre able to, Iâd really appreciate it if you could report their account and the plagiarized post for copyright infringement or stolen content, depending on the options available on the platform.
Please do not send them messages, engage with them, or give them any attention. Thatâs exactly what this person is looking for. The best way to help is simply to report the account and the stolen post, then move on. My goal isnât to start harassment or a witch huntâitâs to have my work removed from their account and prevent this from happening again.
Thank you to everyone who supports content creators and respects the time and effort that goes into writing. Inspiration is one thing; stealing someone elseâs work and passing it off as your own is another.

Tonight was the night
The night that you had waited your entire career for. From starting in F3 all the way to Formula 1. As you lay in your bed in the hotel room, you couldnât believe that this moment that you and your family have sacrificed for it is finally coming.Â
You didnât think it would happen with the way that women in sports, specifically male dominated sports, could achieve a dream of being. Formula 1 World Champion. This has been something you had worked your entire life for and it was all coming to an end. Even though you sat behind your partner, Lando, in second place, you still couldnât believe it. You two have been trying to achieve this dream since you both entered the Formula 1 world.
Even though you havenât been with McLaren as long as Lando has, it still felt unreal that one of you would become the first McLaren driver since 2008 to win the driverâs championship. You had originally started with Renault before going to Aston Martin, and then McLaren. Lando had been with Mclaren for his entire career and was happy when you were joining the team. They felt that it was good that someone who was close in age, only being a year younger than him, would be good for bonding and racing. Little did the two of you know, you became inseparable. You would go on vacation together sometimes, meet each other's families, etc. He became your best friend, someone you could always count on no matter how bad or good the day was.
During that time as the two of you got closer, you began to develop a crush. You brushed it off at first, wanting to focus only on your career rather than romantic relationships. You both celebrated each other's first wins in big ways and even put together a post on instagram for each other for it. That was normal right? You had thought so but most people didnât. They thought it was weird that with how close you two were that you had to be dating, but you had both denied rumors quickly. He had a girlfriend who he had to unfortunately break up with and you remember him calling you crying after he had done it. You didnât care for his love life and only wanted to focus on yours and your career. Eventually you did find someone. People would also be asking you if you two have ever hooked up, which you found to be highly inappropriate that you had to call out the interviewer for asking such a question, same with everyone else on the grid. You had thought as soon as you found someone, the rumors would stop but they never did.
There would be things said about you that were never true and that you had to explain yourself to your now ex. He understood and the two of you had a mutual breakup. You never want to deal with gossip so you limited how often you were on social media and told yourself it was strictly just to post - whether it was personal, a brand deal, or a race result, like your friends posts and that was it. He was still supportive of your career and cheered you on, and if he could he would come to the races. No one had known that you two had broken up because you didnât want to deal with anything while the championship was on the line.
As you snapped back to reality as your alarm went off again, you knew you had to get ready for the long day ahead of you. You had read messages from your friends and family back home wishing you a good luck, your parents and brother asking what time should they be at the paddock and in your garage (as if they havenât been to a race before), and your trainer letting you know he has your breakfast ready for you and that if you wanted you can do a quick workout session before leaving for the paddock yourselves. One message stood out to you. One from Lando.
Lando: Hey, good luck today. You deserve to have gotten this far :).Â
You knew he meant it in a friendly way and not romantically. You had always been hard on yourself about how you look and no matter how healthy you had kept yourself. Every time he messaged you, you felt your heart flutter a bit.
You: good luck to you too. You also deserve to have gotten this far, donât ever forget that :).
He had hearted the message which made your heart flutter a bit but that was normal right? You shake your head and snap back to finish getting ready. You had quietly eaten your breakfast after changing into workout gear and heading down to meet your trainer for a workout. Taylor had known youâd be stressed so he gives you a light workout to do, he also knew that you didnât want to be talked to.
âHey, calm down. Donât want to hurt yourself before the race. Take deep breaths,okay?â he had told you as he noticed that you were pushing yourself to the verge of passing out.
âI know, I know.â you started taking the water bottle from him
âI just feel like something is going to happen but I canât tell if itâs a good thing or a bad thingâ you finished as you took a swing of water as he looked at you, sitting down next to you.
âThat good thing? It will be you winning and being the first woman to win the Formula 1 championship.â he started shaking your shoulders smiling
âThatâs if Max and Lando donât beat me and I donât end up in thirdâ you mumble. Taylor let out a sigh, knowing there were times where you wouldnât believe in yourself.
âYou will beat them. Even if you donât, you faced so much to get to this moment and we got to do it and reach it togetherâ Taylor replied back giving you a side hug as you put your head on his shoulder
âNow câmon, we have to be at the paddock soon and you will be pulled aside non stop for interviews before the raceâ Taylor enthusiastically said, jumping to his feet and helping you up.
It feels like the day drags on. Arriving at the paddock in team gear since your nerves didnât allow you to properly dress nicely how you normally would for race weekends.
Briefings. You dreaded them. Lando looked zoned out as well but you two were still paying attention. Everyone wanted one of you to win and you knew how it would play out. You didnât want to repeat what had happened earlier in the season where you had to swap, giving Lando the lead to win in Monaco. You never blamed him or anyone, it was simply a part of the job, What you didnât know was that he felt guilty about it. He wished that you were there at the dinner with him and that you were at Jimmyâz as well.Â
âY/N? Are you listening?â Zak had asked, snapping you out of your daydream.
âYeah, sorry. If thereâs a chance to take it and if possible for one of us, to take Max.â you said as Lando looked over to you giving you a small smile.
âOkay. Well that concludes our final pre-race briefing. One more time, good luck to the two of you, youâre free to race.â Andrea finished as everyone clapped and headed back to the garages to set up everything and get ready.
You quickly left wanting to get a moment of peace to yourself before the race. Lando had noticed that youâve been off all day and off since the summer break, but he didnât want to intrude and ask you in case you werenât ready to tell him. He knew that you struggled and youâve both been open about it, even teaming up for World Mental Health Day and creating a safe space for everyone struggling as well as silently donating to organizations who help those struggling.Â
He had figured since it was the last race of the season and that either one of you could win it was because of that. He didnât realize that you had seen not only his family, but the girl he had mentioned was his girlfriend as well. You knew and something about it hurt you when he had told you about his summer break plans. How they were going to go to Ibiza with a few of his friends and his bodyguard for those few weeks you had off. You spent the majority of the break offline and not paying attention to social media until you had gone to post your summer dump and you saw the pictures of them on the beach being cuddly.Â
You were quickly shaken out of your thoughts when your race engineer, Robby, shook your shoulder and wanted to go over a few more things with you before you had to head out for the final race.
âYou okay kid?â he asked as you snapped back into reality when you entered the garage.Â
âYeah, Iâm fine. Just thinkingâ you smile at him
âDonât overthink too much kid, you got this.â he reassured you, giving you a smile, as you gave him one back.Â
The time was nearing as the start of the race was getting closer. Meeting influencers who could care less about the race and showing them around the garage while making content with them. Getting small moments with your family and them wishing you good luck with the race and telling you no matter where you place, you still did amazing to make the top three in the standings. You were ignoring Lando and trying to focus on yourself and not get distracted. You saw that he would occasionally look over to see you smiling and laughing with your team and family before you quickly turned away as he was getting called over by his team, friends, family, and his girlfriend.Â
You didnât have pole but you were still second, and as soon as the lights went out, thatâs when you forgot about everything and just raced until the end. You kept second as you went through turn 1 maintaining your pace and focused on overtaking and making sure nothing bad could happen. Everything was going good as Robby was speaking into your ears about everything going on.
âEverything is clear, Verstappen just ahead of you by three tenths, keep pushing.â robby said into your ears
âCopy. What about Lando?â you asked
âHeâs just behind not too much, keeping paceâ
The race went smoothly, occasionally fighting other drivers to maintain your pace as second. You never paid attention to the stat and what was needed to win. You wanted to win on your own and with the help of your team. You figured if you keep ahead of lando that you could win it all. That you would become the first woman in Formula 1 history to win the drivers championship. You remember Robby saying something about Lando only needing 3rd to win but you werenât listening to him and decided to selectively listen to some of the stuff he was saying
âOkay final lap, YN, final lap.â
âGot itâ you radioed back. Each turn felt like it just passed quickly and that you didnât even realize you had passed that finish line
âCongraulations, P2, that is P2. and Lando has won the championshipâ you heard in your ear. You didnât know whether to laugh, to cry, to breathe, it was all hitting you at once. You saw the fireworks go off and headed to the P2 sign before you saw in your mirrors Lando doing donuts and going to the World Championship sign. You sat in your car for a bit before getting outand taking your helmet off. You congratulate Max on P1, before turning around and seeing Lando hugging his crew, his family and kiss his girlfriend. The cameras panned over to you as youhead over to him ot give him a hug and congratulate him.Â
âWorld champion. Congratulations Norris, you deserve thisâ you tell him smiling, as tears filled your eyes for different reasons
âThank you, you gave me a good fight and next year itâll be yours, I promiseâ he tells you before giving you another hug
âThanks. Now go celebrate, you deserve it.â you finish telling him as you turn to go get weighed and meet with your team and your family Before you do, Cisca and Adam, his parents come over to give you a hug and congratulate you. You quickly wipe away the tears before giving them a hug back and thanking them before your parents.
You give them all hugs and thank them for everything before going over to thank your team. As youâre on your side of the garage, Lando looks over to see you defeated but he had a feeling that it wasnât just because of the race or the standings, there had to be something else going on. He kept looking as he got pulled for an interview before the trophy ceremony. You, on the other hand, were already with Max in the drivers briefing. He had also congratulated you on you fighting for the win whether it was race or the standings.Â
âHey you fought hard out there.â
âThanksâ you bluntly answered, hoping he thought it was just because you were exhausted. He knew it wasnât because of that. He knew there had to be something else bothering you and it had to be something involving Lando from how weird you have been around him since the summer break ended. Once Lando joined you two, you didnât really talk to him about anything other than the race. Talking about his overtakes on Yuki, you keeping your pace in front of the Ferrariâs and nearly colliding with George when going into the pitlane. You feel a tap on you as you turn to see Lando come in and sit down near you, sighing in relief as a couple FIA members come to congratulate him as well.
When it was time for the trophy ceremony, you felt a little bittersweet as they announced Landoâs name but still clapped for him. Seeing him there and cheering him on, his interview with Jenson and hearing the words âmy girlfriendâ coming out of his mouth, you needed to get out of there.Â
Your family mentioned that they were going to go back to the hotel since you still had a lot to do and that they didnât want to keep you while still having to do your job. As you sit there, in your driver's room, you let it all go. The tears that youâve been holding, falling out of your eyes as you let out silent sobs. You took a quick shower and changed out the sweaty suit as you let the water fall down on your body. The team wanted some photos with everyone celebrating Lando before any heavy celebrations began. You kept your distance away from Lando and his girlfriend at all times. You hated how you let yourself become this way. How you let every small detail get to you and that you had to nitpick everything wrong with you. You werenât sure as to why and you had been meeting with a therapist regarding it but nothing ever helped. Even your ex knew that you loved Lando. He had texted you letting you know that he watched the race and that you had deserved to win the championship. You laugh because you knew that he meant it and that he wasnât lying. You saw that you had another message. From Lando.
Lando: Hey, me and a bunch of my friends are going to celebrate at a club nearby. I would really love it if you were there.
You: Iâll think about it. Thereâs a lot going on and my family was thinking about taking me out.Â
Lando: Donât think too hard, you deserve this too.Â
He wasnât lying. He wanted to make sure that you had a fun time too and that you didnât spend it alone. Lando was looking at his phone, reading your message as if you were trying to avoid him until the awards, and any other special event. Which you were, but he didnât know why.
At the club, Lando was already several shots deep, already being drunk from what they had put in his Monster and how gone he looked. Friends taking shots with him, his family also enjoying themselves, and his girlfriend smiling and laughing at his having fun. Even though he was having fun, he kept looking over at the entrance to see if you were entering, but you havenât. You were still in your hotel room, contemplating if you should go. You had taken a few shots of confidence from the little liquor bottles that were in the hotel mini fridge but you didnât budge. You sat on your bed with your phone in your hand and drunkenly you called lando and poured everything out to him.
âHey itâs Lando, Iâm busy right now but leave me a message and Iâll get back to youâ
âHey. Hey champ. That feels so weird to say. Finally someone from Mclaren has won for the first time since Lewis in 2008. We were still kids then if you think about that. I wish I could be with you. Not just there celebrating with you. Like with you. Your girlfriend, sheâs so gorgeous, everything I'm not. I can see why youâre with her. Did you know that I had, I have the biggest crush on you, and that after summer break, after everything I was going to let you know? Then I saw the pictures of you two from Ibiza and decided it would be best to bury everything. Before you ask. Yes we did break up. It was mutual and he supports me and wishes me the best. He knew that I liked you, even when I tried to hide it.-â you said before it beeped again finishing and sending the message to Lando.Â
"Lando man, why are you so distracted come onâ Martin yelled in his ear
âSorry, I was just waiting for someoneâ he said before taking another shot that was handed to him as his girlfriend giggled and clinged onto him.Â
He was having the time of his life but something was missing. What was missing was YN. He didnât like the fact that he was celebrating without you and he tried his hardest not to show it, knowing that everyone who has their phone out will be posting and he will get blasted online for not enjoying the time where he had just won his dream since a kid. You were still on your bed with your eyes closed, laying down in a nice dress, with minimal makeup and heels. Every time you hyped yourself up to leave, something held you back and you knew why. It had gotten to the point where his friends were texting you as to where you were. Alex had texted you that her and Charles were also at the same club but at another part of it knowing how big it was since it was sort of connected to where you were all staying. You decided you needed to get out and Alex pushed you to go out.Â
When you arrived, she immediately saw you and gave you a big hug before you hugged Charles and he congratulated you. A drink would be put into your hand after a few moments and you can already feel the effects of the alcohol after taking shots together. Someone had spotted you and gossip spread quick. From one person to another, someone had managed to get Landoâs attention and find you laughing with the Ferrari driver and his fiancee while taking shots. Both of your eyes locked, now making you panic as you scrambled to get out. You didnât want him to notice. You didnât want to see him until the awards and being at the MTC. you quickly apologized to the couple before getting up and leaving not knowing that Lando would be following you. No one had noticed he left because they were all drunk off thier asses to notice.
âYN! YN, wait upâ Lando had yelled trying to get your attention as you went outside to the balcony to get some fresh air.
âLeave me alone. Please Lando. Go and celebrate with your friends, your family, her.â you screamed out, tears filling your eyes. He looked at you confused as to why you were acting like that. He didn't understand as to why out of all of a sudden it felt like you didnât want to be with him.
âTell me. What is going on? Why are you like this?â he asked, trying to understand.
âYouâve been acting weird since summer break ended. You barely answer your texts. It feels like there has to be someone else in the room for you to even talk to me or at least not ignore me. Please tell meâ he begged, tears beginning to fill his eyes. You turned around and looked him in the eyes letting him know.
âI am the way I was to you because I fell in love. I fell in love with my teammate who never failed to make me smile on a bad day. Who always made sure whenever I had a bad race to cheer me up by checking up on me. Who always defended me whenever I received sexist comments from reporters saying that I donât belong in this sportâ you broke out, not able to hold it in anymore.
âI fell in love with a guy that I canât have because of our job and because heâs taken. It was never because of the possibility of you winning.â you tell him before continuing
âItâs because I fell in love with a guy who always made me smile and made it worth coming to work everyday. That is why Lando. I hope you have a good night. You deserve itâ you finished as you left him all alone on the balcony, stunned and not knowing what to say.
Anyone who still supports Nicki Minaj when sheâs out here supporting racists, homophobes (even tho half of her fanbase is gay), rapists, abusers & pedos, youâre just as insane, scummy & fucking stupid as she is. Idc.
Sheâs a dumbass, washed up, coon and a bird who only supports women, especially BW when it benefits her & chose to have a baby with a bum ass rapist while harassing his victim.
hi, i need help, so iâm trying to find this fanfic. itâs where landos friend max (fewtrell) letâs landoâs girlfriend drive a kart for a quadrant video, i believe it was. lando wasnât too happy because she ended up in the hospital i think thatâs all i remember from it. if anyoneâs able to help me find it, that would be great. ďżź
sometimes carlando feels like a fever dream to me. wdym that two men found safety and security with each other in a sport that depends on how toxic and aggressive you can be? wdym that two men found the kind of friendship people yearn for all their lives and they refuse to let anything to tear them apart? wdym they celebrate each other's wins like their own, and not just that, their families celebrate each other's wins like their own? wdym in the big bad 2025, what shouldve been a year where people were more open minded and progressive but aren't, these two found each other, taught each other how to stay true to themselves, even if it means being soft and sensitive, and love each other and trust each other in a sport where you can't trust anyone? how did we get so lucky to be fans of the two men (among others) who constantly break stereotypes and refuse to conform to what the media expects them to be?
