Part 28 | Unblocked

The next couple of races in Australia and Azerbaijan went bad for Lando and Oscar, they were struggling a lot with their cars, it was harsh to see.

Though in Azerbaijan Charles finished P3 in the race, I was so happy for him, but sad for my own team.

Now we were on a flight to Miami. The next race was in four days, we wanted time to prepare and promote it as much as possible.

I tapped away on my iPad as I had my AirPods in, I was posting and editing and answering mails and making new plans for Oscar and updated his schedule.

I had barely acknowledged Lando, Oscar and Lily around me, Charlotte sat in the other end of the plane working as well.

"Meet me in the back" Lando reached in to whisper in my ear as he pulled an AirPod out, I gave him a pissed off look and took it back from his hands.

"No, I'm working" I bite back at him. I wasn't sleeping lately, not lately actually—for the last three months I haven't been able to sleep properly.

I was exhausted and stressed and the last couple of races I had stayed away from Lando successfully.

I put the AirPods back in my ear, only to have it taken out again. "It wasn't a question, Summers"

Lando using my last name pissed me even more off, he dropped the AirPod in my lap before walking down the small path to the back room.

A bed was there and to be honest, a nap sounded amazing at this point, but I didn't have the time to nap.

Groaning in annoyance I got up and threw my things in the empty seat next to me and walked down to the door.

I opened it and slammed it after me. "You can't just come up to me and interrupt! I'm very busy, Lando. I don't think you realize—why are you smiling at me?" I stop my rant as Lando begins to smile at me.

He reaches past me and the lock clicks and I sigh. "I am fucking exhausted—I don't have the energy for your games today, okay?" I sound desperate, but I was. I didn't have the energy to respond to his teasing games.

Fuck I barely had the energy to give in and have sex, I would probably fall asleep.

"I know, come on" he said and took my hands, I narrowed my eyes in suspicion as he looked behind him and laid on the bed.

I followed skeptically and sat down as he guided me to, I sighed as he wrapped his arms around me from behind and pulled me further into him.

He sat up against the wall and I laid between his legs with my head on his chest. He brushed some hair out of my face and re-wrapped his arms around my body as he held me close.

"I don't know what you're doing and I don't like it" I mumble with suspicion. I felt annoyingly relaxed, I felt like I was about to fall asleep.

"Just trust me, for once" Lando said amused me I glared up at him. "Trust you? That's funny" I retort and Lando pinches me and I shriek in surprise.

"Fuck you, I'm trying to be nice" Lando scoffed playfully. "Keyword; trying—and you wish" I retort.

Lando shook his head before running his fingers up and down my arms. Whatever he was doing, worked.

I fell asleep within minutes, I felt secure and relaxed in his arms, I hated that.

I would probably shout at him later for making me fall asleep when I said I didn't have the time for anything at all. I had so much PR work to do.

However, I was knocked out for hours. When I woke up I was confused and looked around, trying to figure out what had happened.

A pair of arms tightened around me and I realized Lando still had me in his arms. I glanced up and saw him asleep as well.

I felt a pit in my stomach building up. It reminded me of our times as best friends, our movie nights.

I got up slowly and watched as Lando continued to sleep, I back up and unlocked the door before leaving him.

Sadness creeped over me and I became angry with myself for letting him seduce me in the first place.

I hadn't been able to stop him, but why? I wanted it as well, why didn't I have any willpower when it came to him?

I threw everything in my hands away just for a moment and a fuck to remember for months.

I sat back down and continued working. Thirty minutes before plane landed in Miami, Lando came out of the room, now awake.

I avoided his eyes and continued to work. As soon as we landed my phone vibrated and I had to take the calls as we made our way to the hotel.

Oscar and Lily were surprised by the fans there at the hotel, but we got through. I went to my room and continued to plan everything out.

Hours later darkness had settled and I had missed dinner at the hotel, I sighed as I finished the last call and then I shut off my iPad and work phone.

I stand up and look out of the window to see the view, it was right by the beach. A pool party was going on in the middle of the hotel's outdoor space.

I chuckled a little before going to the bathroom, I needed a long cold shower. I turned on the water and began to strip down,

I paused when I was stood in my underwear, I sighed in annoyance as my head screamed for Lando.

"Fuck" I cursed under my breath before turning off the water and put on a robe.

I picked up my phone and unblocked his number. My finger hovered over the call button.

But as a few seconds passed since I unblocked him, old missed calls came in front Lando, I furrowed my brows in confusion and went to see the dates of when he had attempted to call me.

The one that caught my eyes was the missed call the Friday before his birthday race last season. When he got food poisoning, he called me that night.

A huge amount of guilt consumed my stomach and I sighed in defeat. He needed me that night, even if it was just to scream at me or for me to help him.

I had stopped by his room to see how he was and Daniel was the one who updated me, he had asked so many times if I wanted to come in.

I wondered if it was before or after my visit that he had tried to call me. Fuck.

I closed my robe before exiting my room, my feet took me down the hall and my hand knocked on the door.

A sleepy, shirtless and confused Lando opened the door, his brows furrowed in confusion when he saw me and the vulnerability on my face.

"What's wrong, muppet?" He asked and laughed a little at the end, but I didn't. He narrowed his eyes and pulled me into his room.

He closed the door behind me, unable to stop myself I pulled him into a hug, he froze for a few seconds but melted into the hug and returned it.
