Part 20 | Flight

The next three days of pre-testing had gone well. We were ready and Lando and Oscar were as well.

We were currently on our way to Bahrain, in the McLaren plane. Lando had been glaring at me for the last twenty minutes while I either ignored it or returned it whenever he pissed me off too much.

"So what's the deal here? Did you two date or something?" Oscar leaned in to whisper in my ear.

I moved my eyes from Lando and gave Oscar my attention.

"No, we used to be best friends" I say, but it doesn't explain anything to Oscar, so he's still confused.

"What happened?" Oscar asked and Lily leaned forward in her seat to listen.

"Some things and misunderstandings just happened" I say and wave them off.

"Can you show me the ladies room again?" Lily asked me and I nodded and stood up, Lando's glare followed me all the way down the plane as Lily followed me.

I knew she did that to get me away and to talk and I was more than grateful for the tiny break it would give me.

"Thank you" I tell her as I close the curtain to separate us from the boys.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Lily asks me and I begin to pour a drink for myself.

"Well, I don't date celebrities. I don't think I have to say more" I down a drink and lean my head back against the wall and Lily watches me.

"Oh, wow. I mean the chemistry you two have is insane-I never would've guessed-" Lily said and paused.

"And you don't feel anything for him at all?" She asks and I wince a bit and pour a new drink.

"I shouldn't-I don't" I correct myself, I open my mouth to add more to the explanation, but the curtain is ripped to the side and both Lily and I's heads snaps to the source.

Lando stands there, a slight smirk on his lips. "Oscar needs you" Is all he says. Lily sends me a look and I nod to her in reassurance, which she takes and walks past Lando.

I take another sip of the drink and ignore his stare. "Can I help you with anything?" I ask while eyeing my drink. I look up as he leans his arm on the wall, while blocking the way back to the seats.

The watch I gave him was placed securely on his wrist. I chuckle dryly and shake my head a little.

"Yeah, you can" Lando said and I sighed before looking up at him instead. I need something stronger than rum.

"What?" I ask annoyed by him. "I heard you and Lily" I should've known, I sigh and roll my eyes before turning my back to him to look for something stronger than rum.

"I can't help you with that" I retort while looking through the cabinets, I soon enough find a bottle of vodka and smirk in satisfaction. "Yes!" I whisper before grabbing the bottle.

When I stand back up I feel a presence behind me, a hand wraps around the bottle on top of my hold of it.

"What are you doing?" I ask wearily. His other hand slowly brush my hair over my right shoulder, freeing the left side of my neck.

I feel his breath on my skin as he leans down, his lips ghosts gently over my skin and I feel millions of goosebumps shoot up and down my skin.

"Do you?" Lando asks in my ear, his lips graze my earlobe and then the skin below my ear. I swallow a lump in my throat and I exhale shakily.

Lando referred to Lily's question- 'And you don't feel anything for him at all?' I felt compelled by his teasing presence.

His lips continued to linger on my skin as he awaited my answer, his hand was still wrapped around mine as I held the bottle in my hand.

"Lando-""-Don't lie to me, for once-tell me the truth about how you feel about me" His words were whispered in a harsh and intense way.

My pulse went rigid, all I wanted in the moment was for him to kiss me, to touch me-fuck me senselessly.

"I did tell you the truth" I insist, but it comes out weak and sounds like a question.

"No, you just said that you don't date famous people, you didn't say that you didn't feel anything for me" Lando said and fuck he was right.

"Lando, we work together. This is not right, this is wrong" I say, I try to remain strong and make him move, but a part of me don't want him to.

Lando chuckles darkly before pressing his lips on my neck, he leaves small bites and kisses on my skin.

My pulse is hammering in my neck, which I'm sure Lando could feel. I lean back into him as he continues, I hum quietly in pleasure.

When Lando heard, I could feel him smirk against my skin. His free hand traveled up to the back of my neck and without warning I spun around to face him.

Lando seemed surprised by my sudden turn, he was unsure of how I was going to react, I could see it in his eyes.

Lando let go of the bottle I still hand in my hand before placing it on the counter. "You are insane" I blurt out, he made me frustrated. As much as I hated to admit it-sexually frustrated.

Lando only smirked and reached out for the back of my neck again, he pulled me towards him and I let him, I couldn't fight him off-because I didn't want to.

I crashed my lips onto his as I met him halfway, his hands secured their places on my body as he held me still and kissed me harder.

I deepened the kiss as our lips molded together perfectly-my hands found it's way to his shirt and I took a hold of it to keep him close.

"Guys-" Oscar's voice made me push Lando away and turn away from the door opening as Oscar pulled away the curtain.

Lando's back slammed into the wall, but it didn't look like it had any impact on him.

"Everything okay? You're not killing each other yet?" Oscar teases, neither of us laughs so he clears his throat.

"Right, we're landing soon, so we gotta get back to our seats" Oscar said before seeking for my eyes.

I locked them with his and showed him I was okay and I nodded my head before following Oscar back to our seats without another word or look in Lando's direction.

He was doing something to me, something I did not like-okay, I fucking loved it. But it's wrong, we work together now and he's still famous.

It would never work and I'm not willing to take the chances. I cursed myself to hell for the rest of the flight and trip to the hotel.

I can believe I caved, I can't believe I kissed him. Fuck! I'm so stupid.

I ignore and avoid Lando and his seeking looks sent my way, I had to think. I needed space.

And more importantly I had to shut the feeling I had in my stomach off after that kiss.

Once I had checked into the hotel I basically ran to my room, I immediately dialed Arthur's number, but it went straight to voicemail.

I cursed under my breath before calling my sister, maybe she could help me do damage control.
