Thank you ! Perfect as always đ
Request from @harryrryrry - recently Iâve seen a lot of people hating on Lando and it got me wondering if you could do a fic where y/n comforts Lando about it? Like at first he donât want to show how much it affect him? - side not to you, your English is not bad this is perfect :)
Sidenote: if you're one of the toxic twitter users who is going around building false narratives or making up things just so you can make nasty comments about any of the drivers. Rot in hell đ„° you deserve nothing good in life and I mean that from the bottom of my heart (obviously if this is not you, I love you and you thee bestest, don't become one of those other ones)
No part 2 requests please
Y/n actually saw more of the hate than Lando, he avoided Twitter never really going on it because that's the source of a large amount of the hate. And really it's such a hub for toxic fans to gather and feed into each other's toxicity, to say the least y/n is disgusted by the "fans" on there.
But sometimes Lando does see the hate, sometimes those venomous people seep their hate onto other platforms and force it into Lando's attention.
Getting the flight out of Canada, y/n sleeps most of it while Lando joined her in that but ended up waking up ahead of her and it was actually her phone going off that caught his attention.
Y/n is on Twitter and much more social medias and apparently her notifications, that she ignores because she is one of those people. If she's not looking for your notification then it gets ignored.
Seeing all the notifications Lando sometimes likes to scroll through them and see who was unfortunate enough to be ignored. But the notifications on Twitter pique his interest. Not having Twitter took self restraint. But some of her notifications are too hard to say no to.
But that's the greatest mistake he could make. The level of hate is actually like a punch to the gut. Sure he can rationalise and look at some of them knowing it's ridiculous but this idea that other drivers fans, and even sometimes his own fans, go out of their way to hate on him. It's insane.
Today is no different. Apparently Max shouldn't be his friend because he doesn't nothing but disrespect the Dutch driver.
Eventually he's read enough to make his head hurt and he ends up closing the app, clearing her notifications and placing her phone back next to her.
Really he's torn between the common comments that if people has that little going on in their lives that he doesn't need to worry about what they have to say and the alternative that is they really hate him that much so deeply that they really will find fault in everything he does.
But either way, it's ridiculous that this is something he has to know is happening.
-
"This new attachment to your Monster cap is gaining attention from fans." Y/n smiles as she settles down on the sofa with him.
"Yeah?" Lando hums not sounding at all interesting.
"Yeah." Y/n frowns since Lando isn't the type to be so dismissive in conversation with her. "Is everything ok?"
"Yes." Lando mutters before realising that he sounds like a dick but he doesn't really feel like discussing the fact that the last thing he wants to hear about it fans.
Sure he loves the people who genuinely support him which is obviously the type of person y/n is referring to. But he just doesn't want to hear it right now.
"I'm going to go play padel with the boys. Have you got any plans?" Lando asks making her look at him with a small frown but she shakes her head.
"No. Nothing planned really...I'll probably just experiment some food or something." Y/n shrugs earning a small nod from the driver as he stands up leaning over to kiss her before he heads off and she frowns watching him head of.
Somethings off with him. She knows him better than he knows himself most of the time but when he wants to hide something he's got a knack for doing exactly that.
"Going to make me fucking work for it." Y/n sighs to herself while leaning back on the sofa as she decides to try make a list of what it could be that's upsetting him.
Despite Lando's nonchalant exterior. She knows he cares a lot about a lot of things and he just pretends he doesn't because who wants to be caught caring too much? That's how people take you for granted and use it against you, if he doesn't let on that he cares then people can't use it as a weakness.
-
Lando's off mood continued up to travelling over to Barcelona and y/n had noticed him also doing the most to actively dodge being on camera by the constant people filming cars and more specifically F1 drivers around Monaco.
"Lando." Y/n sighs choosing to corner him on the flight to Barcelona since it's not a long flight but it's a long enough amount of time that she can use it to question and interrogate him on what's got his mood so low.
"Y/n." Lando smiles lightly but he knows the use of his name means business. Otherwise she calls him "baby" or "Lan". "What's up?"
"That's what I want to know. You've been giving the cold shoulder since Canada." Y/n states then frowning when he looks away and admittedly some withheld emotions and fears over what this could be burst out. "Jesus, Lando. Is it me? Do you want me to go home because you feel like it's not working?"
"No! Fuck. No. Y/n, please don't go. It's not you." Lando rambles feeling guilty to realise that y/n has been feeling like his unusual attitude is her doing. "On the flight home...I saw some notifications from twitter on your phone."
Y/n sighs deflating a little since she saw plenty of the conversations of F1 fans on twitter, primarily revolving around Lando.
"You know...I don't remember people having something to say when you didn't show yourself as such a threat to other drivers on the grid." Y/n sighs making Lando look at her. "They always start hating people more when they're doing well. Sadly, you're no exception."
"It's just a lot. I wave at someone during an anthem and suddenly I deserve shit for it." Lando grumbles before sighing. "But it's definitely not your fault. I'm sorry for making you think otherwise."
"No. But you know what. I'm deleting Twitter. Because honestly, I think it'd be good for me to stay away from those toxic people. I really just used it for when your real fans posted cute photos of you that I don't always find easily." Y/n states picking up her phone and moving to find the Twitter app. She also deactivates her Twitter which is definitely going to gain attention from any of his fans that follow her.
"So now both of us can be ignorant?" Lando smiles lightly making her nod unapologetic.
"I'm pretty sure that's for the best." Y/n assures him before he sighs and shifts to rest his head on her lap. "Was it anything specific they said?"
"Just everything." Lando sighs shaking his head as he feels her thread her fingers through his hair. "I feel like shit knowing you were upset though."
"Stop it. I needed to know that you're ok, and maybe my own fears got the better of me for as to what you were distant but now I know. I can help. That's what matters to me. Nothing else."
"Ok." Lando smiles lightly feeling a lot of comfort just from her running her hands through his hair.
He really should've just told her and enjoyed this type of comfort from her. He definitely needs to just come to her whenever he's feeling down rather than sort of shutting her out in favour of acting like there's nothing wrong.
Hello guys !
I know I've said that I would post the second part of Before I Go but I've changed my mind. Instead of posting it in multiples parts, I decided to post it as an entire story, in a single post. Thatâs why its taking me so long to post it. The story is â15âł chapters long and around 30 000 words. if it is too long to post on Tumblr, then yes I will post it in 3 chapters, but not more.Â
until I post the rest, I will leave the first part on my vlog ( is it a vlog ? idk ) as a preview and then I will probably delete it to add it to the rest.Â
Anyway, I hope you guys are doing okay, I've been a bit busy so I am doing my best to write as much as I can !Â
Let me know if you want to be tagged for the next post !
hello, you havenât posted in a while, you ok? X
Hello ! Yes everything is alright. Itâs just that so much has been going on in my life ( very good things ) and Iâm trying to enjoy as much as I can !
But donât worry, part two of Before I go will posted in a short time !
Until then, merry Christmas guys <3

An oleander is beautifulâyet deadly. Youâre beautifulâyet deadly. But Carlos has always been gentle, and has always known how to take care of things he loves. And even if he doesnât, heâs willing to learn, just for you. But you canât outrun secrets. Not when they have everything to do with the only thing he adoresâyou.
nsfw warning under the cut!
18+... fingering, riding, car sex
STOP AND READ:
The story you are about to read is not meant to be admired or looked up to. Regularly, the types of fics that I like to present to all of you are light, humorous, and sweet. While I feel that this story does have occasional glimpses of that, it also deals with heavy topics such as; suicide, depression, and homicide. At the end of the day, I care about all my readers, so if any of you feel like this is not something for you then you are always welcomed to head over to my masterlist for much lighter reads. You all know me by now, so you must know that sometimes I like to mix a story of traditional love with a dash of real life struggles, such as trauma and guilt, in this case. With that, I hope you enjoy word for word.
cherry here!...did you miss me????
Tension is normally oneâs enemy. Itâs fairly simple, you try your best to avoid what makes your skin crawl. Isnât that how the story goes?
Not quite.Â
Thereâs tension, yes, but it's only because youâre the opposite sex. Nothing beyond that. It could also be because youâre both introduced to each other as a pair of miserable singles. Lewis is the person you share in common.
Sheâs a close friend, he proclaims as you two shake hands. The touch is sticky, just like hot glueâ and for a minuteâit feels like a knife cuts this invisible strain in half. He lets himself salivate over your lioness stare; dark, sharp, amorous. You lean towards him just the same; dominant, mature, suggestive.
Iâve seen you race.
He hums, still attached to your desirable touch. Yeah? Why havenât I seen you then?
Fingers press sternly against his warm skin, as if to provoke him more than he already feels himself falling into. It should be alarming the way his mind slips into a frenzy because of it, but likes it. The rush.Â
Maybe because I wasnât rooting for you.
There. Right then, he disconnects. I was hoping that wouldnât be the case.
You grin. Well, now you know.Â
âYou know what? Mingleââ
âWho says mingle?â you and Carlos question at the same time, judgemental eyes staring coldly.Â
Lewis blushes. âI-I-Is that not a thing anymore?â Silence. âFuck, I really am getting old...â
The night consists of mimosas, because according to you, it reminds you of your late-mother. âShe liked something fruity, but also fun enough to make her head spin. It was entertaining to watch.â
âHow so?â
âSheâd ramble on and on. Slurred about her dreams.â A sad smile. âThatâs the only reason why I ever found out she wanted to become an author. She was fiftyâfive decades too oldâbut she said she wanted one last adventure before retiring. It didnât even matter if she made it onto the New York Times Best Seller list.â
The way your eyes even out, round and almost doughy, makes him trip for a second because this is not the same girl he shook hands with nearly three hours ago. No, this version of you was almost childlike, but he supposes that's how everyone who loses a parent becomes.Â
It comes out shyâclosed offâyour laugh. As if you just caught yourself being too vulnerable. That was always the worst. âLook at me making you my therapist. I have got to stop doing that.âÂ
His mouth opens lamely, ghostly scoff sitting upon his lips. And if it were to be released, it wouldnât hurt your feelings. It was a weird thing to note. âI like hearing you talk.â
A beat. âWeâve only just met.â
Carlos grins, crinkles tracing the corner of his eyes like some beauty. âThen let's meet some more.â
The opportunity is there, the kind youâve been looking for. With a sheepish smile, you nod. âI should warn you though, Iâm a bit of a mess.â
Finally, the scoff escapes. And like envisioned, you laugh at the sound.
âConsider me warned.â
-
He fucked you that same night in the back of his car. It was late, so dark that you barely even had the chance to register the fact that you squirted all over his vintage Ferrari.Â
âItâs fine, donât worry about it,â he pants as he snaps his hips up again, fast motion making you head loll bad. You wonder what he means, but as soon as his long fingers circle your swollen bud, youâre just as good as gone.
He asked you out an hour later, when he dropped you off right in front of your apartment. You happily accepted, unable to hide your excitement.Â
Your smile falters. âGive me a reason as to why I should say yes.â
âUm, well, you sort of already saidâŠyes?â
The confusion that settles onto his handsome features makes you glow with satisfaction. âI could always change my mind. Pretend this night never even happened.â
Panic rushes harshly against his shoulders. He doesnât even know why he cares so much, but he does.Â
Vulnerability is a bitch.Â
âHuh,â he hums, relaxing against his seat, head hitting the expensive cushion. And you can see it. The challenge. He clicks his tongue, bored all of a sudden. âListen, I want you, but I certainly donât need you.â
You realize right there and thenâyou met your match.Â
You realize right there and thenâyou two share the same green pride.Â
You realize right there and thenâ
âIt was nice getting to know you.âÂ
-
The only reason youâre even friends with someone like Lewis is because your mother married rich.
Filthy fucking rich.Â
Then, somehow, married richer by her third and last marriage. The man was twisted, but you never knew just how much. Not for a very long time.Â
He dabbled in stocks, or some boring shit like that, and later invested in some other crap. Somewhere along the line, you met the Brit.Â
The same Brit who now hisses at you through the phone.Â
âGod damn it, what happened? Werenât you two getting along?â
You sigh, rubbing your feet together as you admire the way the navy blue paint covers your pedicured nails. Stormy clouds match your mood as you shake the bottle of pills that lay on top of your desk.Â
âHeâs too vain.â
He groans. âYou my dear, dear friend, are looking into a mirror then, I suppose.â
A sharp gasp. âAre you insinuating Iâm the same?â
âIf the shoe fitsâŠâ
âMay I remind you that you sit and stare at yourself for God knows how long before any race? Newflash, dickhead, youâre going to sweat, look like shit, and one out of ten times, youâre going to win.â
âI see I triggered something.â He sighs heavily. The sound tells you heâs not really upset or anything, but more so worried. Ever since she died, youâve been that way.Â
Snappy. Defensive.Â
âHey, Iâm sorryââ
âDonât be. I know you.âÂ
And although he canât see, you still smile fondly. Rattling the bottle of antidepressants, you inch up higher and higher onto your chair until you face your own reflection. Shattered glass stares back at you as you feverishly look down.Â
âDo you still have an extra pass to this weekend's race?â
-
There had to be something wrong with you. Everyone could tell, and quite frankly, you could agree. Would you admit to it out loud? No, now thatâs something different. Or maybe youâre just odd. That would also make sense. Whatever it was, it would explain as to why everyone around you screams with excitement as the fast cars fly by. You, on the other hand, simply stare with straight lips and empty eyes.
While all clap cheerfully when Lewis finishes on the third step, you cross your arms. While everyone runs out of the Mercedes garage to declare front row, you drag your feet slowly to the last.Â
While Carlos makes eye contact as he lifts his trophyânotably bigger than the Britsâyou yawn.
Youâre not impressed.
Sheâs not impressed, the Spaniard remembers thinking to himself as he smiles wider towards the stacks of cameras that turn him temporarily blind. He selfishly thinks youâre here for him, but he knows that's straight bullshit. Truth be told, it didnât seem like you were here to support your friend either.
âItâs been so long,â Lewis huffs in disbelief as you stare across with vacant eyes. To him, youâre simply jetlagged. âCan you believe it?â
An exhale. âYou did good.â Extending your legs outward, you admire the black tiles that shine back brighter than if it were to be white. âDrinks. On me.â
The Brit laughs. âDeal.â
-
Somewhere close by, they play jazz.Â
âPretty,â you softly speak as you connect your lips to the glass. The live band sways back and forth, only adding to the charm you seem to like. And you like it a lot. âDance with me.â
Lewis snickers. âI love you to death, but Iâm gonna have to go with no.â
You frown. âCome on. I never ask you for anything.â
âYou were born with a golden spoon and have used retinol since you were ten, youâre not allowed to ask for anything when youâve already had everything.â
âYeahâŠwell not this.â Youâre secretly envious of every lady in the room. The way they beam with sincere smiles at their husbands. Boyfriends? Flings? Affairs? Who cares honestly, you were jealous nonetheless.Â
The Mercedes driver watches as your fingers lazily tap against your lap, as if signaling youâre free. Guilt slithers down his neck as he sighs in defeat. âFiââ
âNice seeing you two here.â
Lewis wants to cry with utter thankfulness as Carlos inches closer with a lousy grin. âHey! Oh Godâhey.â You blink. âWh-what are you doing here? Not that Iâm complaining, of course, because Iâm not.â
The Spanirad shrugs. âI won. Wanted to celebrate, I suppose.â Brown eyes flicker towards you like thunder and suddenly you feel naked under his gaze. You swallow. âYou look nice.â
And there it is againâtension.
He cocks his head to the side, almost as if waiting for a compliment of your own. Instead, he finds himself being ignored. Crossing your legs, you lift the empty glass up as the bartender hurries for a refill.Â
Finally, Lewis speaks up. âI think Iâm gonna hit the hayââ
âWho says hay?â you and the brunette spit out with snarkiness. You bite back a smile while he releases a chuckle.Â
The Brit stands up, chugging the rest of his drink as he waves you two off. âIâm not that old,â he shouts as he turns the corner and disappears.Â
Carlos takes the time to catch up on your appearance. Last time he saw you, you had longer hair, now it appears youâve had a trim. He likes it. You were slightly tanner, but now appear a shade lighter. It could just be because itâs winter. It's nice seeing other versions of you.Â
âSo, how have you beââ
âWhy are you still here?â
He freezes. It takes him a while to find the strength to open his mouth.Â
âWe never finished our conversation.â
-
He didnât fuck you that night, no, he took you dancing. And maybe thatâs why it worked this time around. Instead of taking the time to learn all the different types of moans you have, he took the time to learn all about your upbringing.Â
I learned how to bike when I turned six. Had severe trust issues for a year, so I tried again when I was seven.
That must be where your scars are from, he thinks to himself, but he finds them endearing.
I like long hair, I find it beautiful, but as soon as itâs starting to grow out I think it looks too weird on me.Â
That must be why your hair is shorter than he remembers, but he loves it. Has the urge to run his fingers through.
My favorite movie is How Harry Met Sally, but quite frankly, I don't find Harry attractive at all, so I never really understood why Sally settled down with him after so long.
And youâre honest. Brutally honest. And he finds that attractive.
âHow about you, Mr. Singapore?â
I learned how to kart before I learned how to bike, actually. I, too, have scars on my hands from small crashes.Â
You blush as you hide yours beneath your coat.Â
I have two sisters, so I mainly learned how to dance because of them. I hated it at the time, but now Iâm quite grateful.
Is it possible to swoon harder?
And I donât have a favorite film, necessarily, but Iâve watched How Harry Met Sally, and I would agree. Sally was too good looking for him.Â
You have to laugh. âIs that so?â
He smiles. âThe name Harry sounds soâŠâ He winks cooly before running a hand through his locks. You giggle. âHe looks more like a Bob.â
âOh my God! Could you imagine? How Bob Met Sally?â You pause. âWait, that actually doesnât sound half badâŠâ
He chews on his bottom lip slowly, nodding in agreement. Silence engulfs you two as you stare at each other with round eyes. Heâs the first to crack a loopy grin and you quickly follow with a sheepish one. Then, it vanishes and heâs left looking like he swallowed a frog.
âListen, about last timeâŠâ
âLong forgotten.â
He halts, almost surprised by your response. âNo, no, thereâs no need to pretend, I was aââ
âJerk?â
The Spaniard rolls his eyes. âGreat, so you havenât forgotten.â
You shrug. âIâm a girl. We remember everything.â
âGot it,â he declares. âAsk me again.â
Now itâs your turn to freeze. âWhat?â
âAsk me why you should say yes to a date with me.â
âYou donât have to do this, weâre goodââ
âI know we are, but I still want you to ask.â
You lick your lip anxiously before relaxing your stiff shoulders. He tilts his head as if urging you and you nod. âWhy should I say yes to you?â
Satisfaction settles. âBecause you like a good challenge.â He leans closer. âAnd isn't that what this is?â
-
Carlos Sainz Jr. was made for you.
âLeave me alone,â you scream, veins throbbing, as you rush past him, heading towards the guest room. Youâre glad his parents arenât home at the moment because Lord knows the embarrassment you would feel.
âNo. Not until you talk to me.â As simple as that. Your eyes twitch as you turn back, then bring your hands up to your hips. He adores it when you do that, though he probably shouldnât right now.
âYou want to talk?â You let out an unhinged scoff. âOh, would you look at that, he wants to talk! Now he wants to talk. Well guess what, fuckheadâI donât.âÂ
With that, you march out into the balcony. His eyes follow the way you light up a cigarette. The way you drink the last drops of champagne that linger in the bottle gifted to you by his mother.Â
She was kind. She was beautiful. She didnât deserve someone being this mean to her son.
You barely recognize him because of how blurry your vision is, but his scent does it. Musky. Woody. Calm.Â
He hands you the familiar pill, then a glass of water. He rushes the champagne away, then takes the cigarette and squashes it against the cold floor. He doesnât so much call you out for being a lunatic, for upsetting his dogs with all your yelling, or for pushing him. No, he doesnât do any of that. And you have never been more in love with him than now.
âI know I can be a bit much sometimesâŠâ A sniffle. âI swear I try to catch onto it so you donât have to deal with any of this, butââ
âYou donât mean it.â He tangles his fingers through your hair as you sob. And itâs soft despite spending the entire day near the ocean. It feels silky. Heâs obsessed. âI know you.â
-
You were made for Carlos Sainz Jr.
âHow do I look?âÂ
âLike an angel.â He swears he turns bright red when you blow him a kiss. âYour name mustâve been Bonita in another life because look at youâŠâ A hand flies up to clutch onto his heart as he makes a face. âThough, I must say, you do know how to make me look bad.â
You giggle. âOh? This old thing? I thrifted it. Nice, eh?â
He groans. âVery, but youâre supposed to be rooting for Spain.â A gag. âNot Italy.â
You frown. âThat's all I had. Plus, youâre basically Italian given your working status.â
âNo, amor, they pay me to like Italy. Itâs a cover up, think about it.â
You huff, popping your hip outward. âStill. I like it, so Iâm wearing it while cheering for the opposite team.â
âAlways over complicating things.â He laughs. âCanât say Iâm surprised, youâre a complicated person.â
A deadpan expression. âSuck your own dick.â
âOi, relax.â
Spinning to face the mirror, you fix your jersey one last time before skipping out the door, tube socks sliding as you go. The Spaniard lets out a dreamy sigh.Â
Were you flawless? Not at all.
Were you put together? Not without a prescription.
But he loved figuring it all out with you. And thatâs called love.
-
Youâre in the middle of a rampage, during dinner. While everyone stares at you puzzled, he simply laughs at your cartoon expressions.Â
âI mean, I offered!â A pout. âI clearly stated I could get the cap signed for her and she gave me the nastiest, ugliest, dirty-looking glare! I for sure thought her face was permanently damaged.â You relax against the chair, your shaky hand finding its way to your water bottle. âLike sorry for riding your favorite driverâŠâ
Charles laughs nervously. âI donât think that was a necessary thing to includeâŠâÂ
You shrug, raising your brows over to your boyfriend who struggles to breathe.Â
The conversation flows easily, like most nights you're all together, but this time thereâs a minor bump. Youâve been good about it; avoiding the question for so long. Over the course of time, youâve managed to be so mendacious, that truly no one knew the truth. Not even Carlos.
âI hope itâs not overstepping, but how did your mum pass?â
He means no harm, Lando, but you just wish so badly that you could believe that. While Carlos and Lewis were the closest thing you have to a family nowadays, even they knew not to ask. You never laid the rules out loud, but they could tell it was an unwanted topic to have on your behalf, no matter how curious they got.Â
All of a sudden, your mood deteriorates. The look in Landoâs eyes makes sure to strike off as an apology, but youâre so busy looking down onto your lap that you donât even pinpoint the meaning. The table grows awkward as time ticks by.Â
No one has the power to change the subject, save you the same way doctors tried to save your motherâbecause they, tooâwonder.Â
You gulp, feeling small, but far too seen at the same time. It was confusing. âShe, umâŠher last husbandâŠâ Everyone feels bad, like youâre some limping puppy, zigzagging down an empty highway, but remain quiet. Then, you look up, stone cold but the tip of your rosy nose and blotchy face is enough reassurance that you still have a beating heart.
âHusband number three strangled her to death.â
You say it like you donât care. Like it hasnât affected you at all, and that makes Carlos blink twice as fast as everyone else in the table. A droplet makes its way down your cheek as you let out a light laugh.Â
âI guess he thought he was some Superior God who had a say in cutting her time short.â
They all freeze.Â
âI am so sorry for askingââÂ
âI didnât need to respond.â You smile lamely. âItâs fine, Lando.â
But itâs not, not even close. They ripped the confession out of your throat, at least thatâs what it felt like. No one stepped up, no one said anything.Â
Your eyes flicker to the only man who makes your heart speed.Â
He reaches for your hand and you grip it hard.
No one said anything.
Not. Even. Carlos.
-
Youâve always excelled at holding a grudge. It came fairly simple.Â
But as you stare at him through the screen, for the first timeâand only the first timeâyou struggle. Maybe itâs his puppy eyes that betray you, or his gentleness anytime he steps near you, you donât really know.Â
And you donât want to.
âI was thinking mariscos.â
Hair flies past your eyes as you squint. He looks particularly handsome today, wearing a linen shirt that drapes over him like some silver armor. Long waves brush against his temples as he returns the squint, slightly smiling at your lips.Â
âSounds good to me.â
Soft music roams the isolated restaurant that almost seemed to belong to just you two, and that helps you relax. You could tell it helps him too.Â
âThe car felt good today.â
âYeah?â
He nods, biting onto a piece of shrimp. âFelt like I was flying.â
You let out a whistle. Thereâs a comfortable silence that lingers for a while before you raise a brow up to the open sky. âHey,â you start as his orbs flicker up with all the attention in the world. âDo you believe in angels?â
A moment. âIâd say so, yes. Yes, I do.â
Hum. âYou sound freakishly sure.â You inch forward with teasing eyes. âWhy?â
âEasy.â Chocolate orbs swirl with adoration. âThereâs you.â
âI donât count.â
He frowns. âAnd why not?â
âBecause you love me, of course youâd say that only to be nice.â
âI say so because I know so.â
âLove is blind, love is blind,â you chant, sipping on his open can.
A second ticks by. âWhy do you ask?â
And like the first night he met you, your eyes merge into doe eyes. âBecause I do.â A sheepish grin. âAnd sorry to disappoint, but itâs not you.âÂ
âWhatâs his name?â he jokes.
But youâre not even listening. âMy mom was pure. She was a good person, Carlos.â A beat. âSheâs my forever angel.â
His heart physically hurts at your glossy eyes, immediately reaching for your hands. âYou must really miss herâŠâ
A wet laugh. âIs there a word stronger than âreallyâ? If there is, then that would be one way to say it.â
And he has to apologize, even if itâs seven days too late.Â
âIâm sorry for not stepping in that night. I-I-I should have said something and you should have said nothing.â Thick brows knit in together. âYou donât know how shitty I felt, butââ
âYou wanted to know as well.â
The way his features freeze is enough confirmation. And you can't be mad. Not even a little. Not even a lot.Â
âThat doesnât make you a bad person, Carlos. I should have been more open and honest with you first.â A gust of hot air slaps you across the face. âI tend to shut out people like you becauseâŠI donât know.â
âVulnerability is a bitch?â
You laugh. âThatâs one way to say it.â Orbs scan his beauty with no shame before falling back. âYou still have plenty of questions, donât you?â
âO-of course not.â
Another laugh. âItâs okay. You caught me in a good mood. Go on.â
Heâs awkward at first, but slowly eases with the sound of your breathing. âWhy hasnât he been arrested?â
âBecause heâs a multi-billionaire.â
He gulps and you blink. âWhy havenât you sued?â
âBecause Iâm not a multi-billionaire.â
âSoâŠhe did a cover up with a wad of cash?â
âMhm. No one dared ask whose hand shaped bruise was imprinted in her neck.â
Heâs caught off guard by your bluntness, but he knows he needs this because he knows it will keep him up the same ways itâs kept him up since that god forbidden dinner.Â
âThis was the cause of yourâŠâ He doesnât even want to finish his sentence.
âDepressionâŠyeah. Losing someone you love will do that to ya.â
But he wants to askâhe wants to ask more because he knows there has to be more. Heâs lost people he loves tooâand he loved them very muchâand he never got this way. In a flash, he feels guilty for comparing his healing process to yours but quickly looks down onto his lap.Â
And the hot summer rain is enough warning for him not to question you any further.Â
The Spaniard shares a grateful smile. âThank you for trusting me. To take care of you, and all t-that,â he stutters, blushing.
âI love you, Carlos.â A beat. âIâve always trusted you. The only person I donât trust is myself.â
-
âBe quiet,â she hisses, urgently signaling you closer. âAnd make sure to shut the door.â
Confused, you hesitantly push until you hear a click. Inching closer to your mom, you slowly become more and more lost as you eye the scattered papers all over your step-dads office table. âWhat is all this?â
Color drains from her normally youthful face. Even the brightest shade of red canât help add life. âProof of embezzlement.â
âWhat?â
She slides stacks of black folders towards you and you quickly flip through, to which you donât understand a single thing. âHeâs stealing money, thatâs what. Weâre not talking thousands, weâre talking millions,â she whispers frantically before growing green. âOh God, I think Iâm going to be sick.â
âOkay, okay, hold on, youâre okay.â Rushing to be next to her, you clumsily tie her hair up into a messy ponytail before fanning her with the white sheets. You wince, quickly placing them back down. âHow did you even come across this?â
Just as fast as a lighting bolt, she spins the chair. âIâm starting my bookââ She gags, âI was supposed to start today, but I came in here looking for his typewriter. You know, the one with the tiny cherubs?â Across the office, you spot it, the tiny angels delicately painted onto the infamous typewriter. You nod. âWell, I started to search for some paper and instead found all of thisâŠâ
Even you grow dizzy as you eye the infinite zeroâs that jump out against all types of sums. Thatâs not even enough to spend in ten lifetimes. It was no wonder he just recently made it onto The Forbes list. Her eyesâhonest as everâmake you panic as you twirl your thumbs. âWaitâŠyouâre not thinking of confronting him about it, are you?â
âI have to.â Pause. âRight?â
No. You donât want her to. Not in any scenario. Itâs taken you both so long to reach the life you deserve, and now that you were finally here itâs about to be ripped away from you? Your lack of words makes her glare.Â
âI donât know why Iâm asking you, I have to! Itâs the right thing to do.â
Adrenaline. âMom, just think about itââ
âI did not raise you to be avaricious,â she spits out, fire practically fuming out of her. You flinch. âIâm going to talk to him.â
âY-youâre right.â There goes all your money down the drain. âIâm with you no matter what.âÂ
Knock knock.
Like mother-daughter, you both freeze as your eyes flicker to the sound.Â
âAngelica, are you in there?â
You never liked the name Angelica. Not on anyone else that wasnât your Angelica.Â
Running over to open, she finds herself face-to-face to Lucifer himself as he cocks his head in humor. âLocking me out of my own office now?â He enters. âFun.â Dark eyes roam the messy area. âFun.â
Her eyes plead with you in a language only you both knew, but never did you mean to obey. You wanted to stay with herâsomething told you to stay with her.Â
âHoney, give us some privacy, yeah?â
âU-uhâŠâ He winks like that was the go-ahead. Like that was the last permission you needed to agree. And maybe it was.Â
Deep down itâs almost like you knew he had sinister intentions. Deep down itâs almost like you knew he was capable of committing those sinister intentions.Â
Deep down.Â
Itâs like you donât even care.
You smile, tight lipped. âWhatever you need.â
You heard the argument that night, you heard the threats. You heard her pleads, you heard her chokes. You could only imagine what was going on inside, but you were your mothers daughter. You could imagine quite a lot.Â
She couldâve been an authorâwith his resources she might just have hit the New York Times Best Seller list. She could have been a grandmother one dayâsurely your kids would have lived a luxurious life.Â
She could have been obedient. Why wasnât she obedient? Was it so hard to brush it all under the rug?
He was sweating, just as much as a pig. Or maybe heâs glowing, he is smiling after all. Here and there he apologizes in a lousy manner, but you didnât care. All you cared about wasâ
âHow much money am I gonna get to keep?â
Heâs intrigued. âHow much do you want?â
âEnough to not have to worry.â You can still see it; cramped rooms, tin canned meals on paper plates. You could never go back.
An eye roll. âYouâre just like herâŠâ A beat. âFucking greedy.â You can feel the blood rush to your cheeks. Youâre embarrassedâ-of course you wereâwho is he to judge? He sighs. âNo.â
âWhat do you mean no?â
âIt means Iâm not transferring you anything. I want you out of this house no later than Sunday.â
Plump lips open, then snap shut, teeth gritting. âIâll tell everyone that youâre a murderer. Youâll lose it all, w-watch.â
Heâs not phased. Not even in the slightest. âAnd whoâs going to believe you? Tell me, really, because Iâd like to know.â
Fuck him for having everything. Fuck him for having everything. Fuck him for having everything.
And fuck yourself for having nothing at allâagain.
Months swept by, the death was ruled a suicide, and antidepressant became your loyal friend. There was no one else, and sometimes you feared there would always be no one else.Â
Thenâby some miracleâthere was Carlos.
He was handsome. He was shy. He was sweet. He was kind.
He was rich.
You played hard to get, but so did he. You played the long haul, but so did he. You were a fantastic liar, but he was an ever better believer.
And it all clicked.
Just the way it was supposed to.
-
Youâve been accustomed to a certain lifestyle for years now, but somehow youâre always surprised about the sudden boost youâve switched to ever since youâve met him.
Chanel heels turned into red bottoms. Last season dresses turned into those that were not yet released. You loved everything about it.
âYou look so beautiful, cariño,â he groans against your lips, desperate for more. His large hands play with the silky fabric, fighting to slide it up against your hips. You shudder. âI meanâŠcome on.â
âHey, heyâthatâs sweet and allââ You push yourself closer to his toned body, immediately feeling his erection. You nearly whimper. âBut why donât you fuck me instead?â A kiss. âYou missed me, no?â
And insteadâhe whimpers. âHow dare you even ask?âÂ
With that, he picks you up with ease, pinning you against the wall. Youâre dizzy, because unbeknownst to him, heâs casted a spell on you. Never did you think you could fall in love, much less, have someone reciprocate.Â
Tender fingers make their way to your clit as you lunge forward, biting down onto his shoulder. It should amaze you how he holds you up with one arm, but youâre not. If anything, you leak more and more by every passing second.Â
His dirty pants make you fold as you clench around him. The way they curl, the way they pulse, all of it was your kryptonite.Â
âShit, shit, shit,â you squeal, keeping your eyes trapped shut, feeling the familiar knot forming. He grins, pecking your sweaty forehead, digits speeding up. Berry lips form an O as you moan louder with every push.âI-Iâm c-c-closeâoh God.â
âShh. Itâs okay, let go for me, yeah? Iâm right here with you.âÂ
Gritting your teeth harder, you moan like some pornstar as you finish all around him. Almost like some rule, he desperately sucks his fingers clean. The Spaniard hums like heâs living his biggest dream of all before opening his round eyes.Â
âSo sweet.â
You blush. âYours tastes like shit.â
He laughs. âAnd yet you beg for me to finish all over your face, isnât that so?â
Nearly choking at his bluntness, you fight back a smile as you play with his floppy locks. Theyâve grown so much from the last time you saw him, so this was certainly eye candy to you. He sighs, relaxing as you continue to twirl thick strands around your fingers.
Soft legs still drape over his waist, hands still lay around your waist, and even breathing connects you both. Carlos feels like heâs nearly dozing off, but his hand remains firm, preferring to take a bullet than to let you fall.Â
You like to think that you like his lashes the best. But then thereâs his eyes. And his nose. And his heart. And his lips. And his hands. And his sculpture body. And his jokes. And his laugh. And his freckles. So you never could choose, not truly.
Inching closer to his ear, you smirk slowly. âWanna fuck my mouth?â
His eyes snap open, jaw clenching. âYouâre such a tease.â
A shrug. âWant to or not?â You bite your lip, legs letting go of his hips as you slide down. âBecause this offer ends in fiveâŠâ He raises a skeptical brow. âFourâŠâ You motion him closer to which he steadily follows. âThreeâŠâ He laughs. âTwo, one!â
Sprinting up the stairs in a flash, you giggle as he chases after you. The sound of his steps make your heart beat faster as you jump onto your shared bed. Rushing past the corner, he cocks his head to the side as he clicks his tongue. Stepping into the room carefully, he swung the door closed before locking it. You frown.
âReassures me that no one will walk in.â
âNo one will walk in,â you whisper as your stomach drops. âThereâs no need t-toââ
âNo, yeah, youâre right,â he agrees, taking in your breathless state. âBut I prefer it this way. Just you.â A closer stride. âAnd me.â
Palms are sweaty. Blood slithers down your throat and thighs. And yet your freeze. You feel hot and cold, all at once. You donât like the feeling, any of it, but you try to ignore the inner monologue.Â
âYou look stunning,â he states, finally reaching you. âYou always do.â
Your speeding heart lessens. âT-thank you.âÂ
A beat. âYouâre not nervousâare you?â
Hastily, you shake your head. âN-no! Of course not!â
Thick brows knit together. âBecause you normally arenât.â His smile fades. âW-we donât have to do anything tonight if you donât want to, you know that right?â
Physically, youâre cringing. Mentally, youâre spiraling. The act itself makes the Spaniard withdraw, taking a steady step back and shaking his head. Panic rises fast as you crawl closer to him, reaching the end of the bed.Â
âI just have a lot on my mind, but I want this.â A beat. âI want you.â
Itâs as if youâre a blank sheet of paper, blinking up at Carlos with such innocence. So much so, it makes his heart stop. He looks for reassurance, which you give him, and he looks for it again, which you give again without hesitance.Â
âCome on, CarlitosâŠâ you slowly whisper, batting your eyes. âI know youâve missed my mouth.â
If you werenât so breathtaking, if you werenât so seductive, if you werenât so goddamn tempting then surely turning you down wouldnât be an issue. By alas, youâre hereâand even betterâyouâre all his.Â
âEres un sueño.â It seems like an eternity passes by before he finally steps close to you once again, getting rid of whatever distance you ever had. Like it was never meant to be there to begin with. âCan I kiss you first?â
Itâs sweet that he feels the need to build up to fucking you sore, but sweet nonetheless. Thatâs one thing you love about himâand thereâs a lot to choose fromâhis respect towards you. Smiling warmly, you extend your arm, inviting him like an angel before he smashes his lips against you like the devil.
The contrast. Itâs just what you needed.
âGod, I fucking love you.âÂ
âIââ His lips press harsher as he continues marking his territory. All of it was making your head spin like a rollercoaster. âI love you too,â you manage to spit out as he makes his way down. You blush. âI-I-I sort of wanted toâŠâ
He blinks. âSort of what?â
âWell, you knowâŠâ You point towards his hardened cock.Â
And he actually snickers. âCat got your tongue today or what, bella?â
A groan. âYouâre so fucking annoyingââ
âNo, no, no,â he cuts in with a whistle. âBy all means, go ahead.â
Desperate hands crazily reach out towards his belt in a nanosecond. You should be ashamed how hopeless you are, but you donât find enough strength to care. Not when he was looking down at you with hungry eyes.Â
âTan linda,â he whispered underneath his breath. As if you werenât meant to hear him. As if he canât quite believe itâs you he gets to keep. This must all be a dream to him, he thinks.Â
Just as youâre about to pull his jeans down, large hands get ahold of your wrists. Confused, you look up at him, head tilted and messy hair falling over your shoulder. He grins wickedly.Â
âJust one more kiss.â
You scoff, rolling your eyes. âAre you kidding meââ
But his soft lips move with such urgency that you donât even have time to bitch and moan. Not that youâre trying. You can feel it; the hunger, the lust. The way you run your fingers through his hair, or how he squeezes your ass. In a matter of seconds, the room grows steamy, hot breaths expanding with every peck. Itâs as if Carlos was too afraid of being ripped away from you even for a second, scared your lips might change and he wouldnât know a thing about it.
Not knowing you might be his biggest fear.
It happens without a warning, his grip. You feel it slide slowly up your ribsâyou remember thinking how much you like it, how much it tickles. Then it reaches your chest, to which his eager hands squeeze your tits, pathetically moaning into your mouth. You canât help but giggle, but still not separating. And thenâŠ
It reaches your neck.
As soon as he squeezes, your eyesight begins to blur, but he doesnât notice. Your chest begins to rise and fall at an alarming rate, but he doesnât notice. And youâre terrified.
But he doesnât notice.
âCarlos,â you whimper, but he takes it as a good sign, mouth moving with ease. âCarlos, honeyâŠâ
âYeah, baby?â His voice is deep. âYou like that?â Large palm squeezes harder. âBet you do.â
âOkay, stop!â you scream, arms flying like some madman. âLet go of me!â
Panicked, he releases you in a hurry, jumping off of your trembling body. Color drains his face as realization hits him, but it's too late. Youâre sobbing hard, shoulders bouncing up and down. The way you crawl back with fear makes his heart break as he shakes his head, running a hand against his jaw.
âFuck.â More cries. âFuck, fuck, fuckâI am so sorry, babyâŠâ Desperate eyes stare back at you as you hide your face against your shaky hands. âIâm so fucking stupid. I should have known, I should have known.â Inching closer proves to be a mistake when you leap off the bed, throwing a mountain of pillows like daggers.Â
âStop it,â you demand. âStay. Right. There.â
He flinches. âAre you afraid of me?â
The laugh that erupts from your throat is unlike the others heâs heard. Itâs almost maniacal. It makes his skin grow with goosebumps. âIs that even a question?â Dark mascara runs down your cheeks as you breathe heavily. âYou just tried to kill me.â
âNo,â he pronounces. âNo, you know that thatâs not true. I-I-I thought youâd like it!â The glare you flicker is enough for him to wince, pinching the tip of his nose. âI should have known better, okay? Please, justâŠcalm down.â
All your sniffles come to an end as you freeze. âAre you calling me crazy?â
âI didnât say that.â
âOh my God.â Pushing your hair back, you release a chuckle. âYou actually think Iâm crazy.â
âI donât think youâre crazy, stop putting words into my mouth.â
A scoff. âOkay, wow.âÂ
He doesnât have a clue as to how he continues to dig himself into a holeâand yetâhere he is. Digging his own grave. Exhaling hard, he licks his lips before looking straight into your glossy eyes. âI love you,â he starts, but you remain as still as a statue. âAnd I want us to work through this. I want to be able to talk to you, yeah?â A beat. âIâm sorry aboutâŠwhat I did, I should have never done it knowing youâreâŠtraumatized.âÂ
Heâs almost scared to see your reaction, but it never comes. Instead, you blink hastily, as if youâre mortified.Â
You shouldâve known. You should have figured that karma would catch up to you sooner or later.
I mean, all sins must be paid for, right?
As soon as he starts closing the gap, youâre thumping heart picks right back up. âI just want to talkââ
âNo.â
Despite his hurt, he continues his march towards you. âI just want to be near you, pleaseââ
âI said no!âÂ
It happens almost in the blink of an eye, the sound of glass shattering. He sort of thinks he mustâve imagined it, your hand flying to punch the mirror right besides you, but the gentle blood that oozes out of your hand makes his heart stop. Suddenly, all the scars you have make sense. So much makes sense.Â
âJustâŠstay there, Carlos,â you say, voice trembling, small hand holding out a piece of sharp glass towards him like some wannabe knife. You bite your bottom lip. âJustâthere.â
âCariñoâŠâ
âStop it with that,â you plead, teardrops slipping. âStop calling me that.â
Somewhere in the shard, he catches his reflection. Half-scared, half-brokenhearted. He doesnât even know how you two got to this point.Â
He gulps. âOkay. Iâll stop, Iâll stop, but please put that down.â You shake your head fast, splotchy cheeks flushing furthermore. Carlos sighs desperately. âCome onâyouâre bleeding.â
âIâm used to it by now.â
Tension resurfaces once again between you both as you stare at each other, awaiting for the next challenge. Playing the silent game for a second, curious to see who breaks next.Â
âWhy did you lock the door?â
He almost laughs. âWe always shut the doorââ
You raise the blade up higher as you begin to lose patience. Deep down, you know youâre not capable of harming him, but how could you ever let your guard down once again when he tried to strangle you to death?
History almost repeats itself, and youâll be damned if you ever let it happen.
âYou said it, we shut it but we never lock it.â A soft cry. âWhat were you planning on doing to me, Carlos?â
Itâs like a knife to the heart, youâre sudden distrust. The brunette finds himself struggling to breath as he blinks like a lost deer.Â
âYou know that I would never hurt you. Not on purpose, at leastâŠâ
You let out a wet snarl, shaking your head. âI donât believe you.â
A flinch. âAll of this was a mistake and I adore you.â
âYou donât, though,â you protest, the shaky vision intensifying. âIf not you wouldnât have tried to murââ
âFor the last time, Iâm not your step-father!â Itâs as if heâs finally reached his breaking point, just now. His body is tired. His mind is tired. Everything is just tired of trying. Carlos shrugs lamely. âIf you donât want to believe meâŠso be it.â
The pain that rains out of him should be enough for you to know that heâs telling the complete truth. Heâs a good guy, with pure intentions. Heâs not here to get even with you on your mothers behalf. None of what youâre imagining is true.
But you just canât seem to understand.Â
âI donât believe your lies, alright?â you spit out with deep breaths. You drop the blade, finally. âOpen the door.â
With his head hung low, he complies, feet dragging with every step. And finally, with a hand on the knob, he turns to give you one last glance. He can tell youâre holding in your breath and he doesnât know why it bothers him so much. Why it make him feel so much like a monsterâŠ
Click. The wooden door swings open as he pushes it gently.
âNow leave.â
A wave of nausea strikes with your words. âAmorââ
âStop. Donât even look at me.â Tension. âI donât want to see you ever againânot even by accident.â
And that was the last stab that ended it all.
-
Every now and then, he wonders how you are. Hopefully better.Â
He hears your name mentioned once in a blue moon, but instinctively blocks it out, too disturbed at the thought of what occurred between you two.Â
What did occur between you two?
He could take a guess and say that youâre internally fucked. Straight and simple.Â
But itâs still annoying. The way he wishes to forget you with every passing birthday wish.Â
At first, it was because he missed you. He just wanted to forget you because he missed youâyes.
Later, it was because the memory of the cramped room suffocated him. The sound of glass breaking was stronger than the sound of his car crashing. And somehow the latter seemed better.Â
He just wanted to forget that dayâyes.Â
Staring off into space has been his thing for a long time, often getting called out on it. Now, he finds himself with his eyes closed, too scared that someone might notice his feelings and feel the need to ask if heâs okay.Â
He hasn't been. Not since you.Â
âGrape or watermelon?â
Popping and eye open, he catches a glance of Lewis before rolling over. âIâm good.â
Itâs tough, this silent war between both his friends. The break up simply made thisâŠtough. Especially when no one really knows what happened.Â
Setting the electrolytes down, the Brit claims a spot next to the brunette. Groaning at the unwanted company, Carlos switches to sit upright. Brown eyes glare strongly before Lewis laughs it off.Â
âHow you doinâ, bud?â
Great, no yeah, just severely depressed thanks to your so-called friend. Would you mind asking her where she gets her antidepressants from for me? I mean, I would, but last time we saw each other she, uh, I donât know, tried to stab me? And you know whatâs the most fucked up shit? Itâs the fact that I still love her just the same.Â
I just wanted to help.Â
He forces a shy smile. âFine.â
A pity grimace. âI can tell she misses you, you know?â
Carlos hates how excited the thought of you aloneâdreamily sighing for his returnâgets him to sit up straighter, suddenly interested. Itâs foolish, really.Â
âShe would never admit it, but I can tell because I knowââ
âHer?â The Spaniard lets out a mocking scoff. âTrust me, you donât. Not entirely.â
That shuts Lewis right up as he sits there, staring blankly. A dark brow furrows. âListen, I donât know what happened between you twoânot that I need to knowâbut sheâs a good person. And so are you. SoâŠdonât be afraid of reaching out.â
He flickers his brown eyes accusingly. âWhy should I? Did she put you up to this?â
âShe didnâtââ
But the fact is, the hesitation gives him away. Anger arises as the Spaniard rolls his eyes. âI knew it, God, I knew it!â A second. âI know her.â
The Brit drowns with nervousness as he waves his hands in despair. âShe just wants you to apologize!â
A singular laugh. âApologize for what?â He pauses, squinting at his friend. âShe didnât tell you why we broke up, did she?â
âNo.â
âThen you donât really know whoâs fault it was, do you?â
Lewis looks down onto his lap. âNo. Not really.â
âGreat, then let me be the one to tell you that it was both of ours. Iâm no saint but neither is she.â
An award silence lingers as the Spaniards voice echoes the room. Lewis nods. âUnderstood. I got it, okay?â
He sighs an irregular sigh. âI-Iâm sorry. I shouldnât haveââ
âDonât worry about it, man.â A sheepish grin. âItâs not my place to fix anything about your guysâ relationship, I get it.â
Carlosâ face switches to bright red as he nods his head once. âT-thanks.â
The Brit, ever happily, stands up firmly before patting his back. âIâm always here if you need to talk.â
âGracias.â Lewis is just a few steps away when he clears his throat before he can even stop himself from asking. âHowâs she doing?â
It came across almost softer than a mumble, and one might have missed it if not alert, but not Lewis.Â
Spinning to face the almost manchild with round eyes, he smiles as bright as the sun, and that makes his stomach turn. Because he knows. He knows youâre doingâ
âReally well.â
Fluffy hair falls down as he tilts his head, clicking his tongue. âThatâs good.â Sure. He returns the same smile with a twitch. âThatâs really good.â
Lewis has known you two for a long time now. Heâs unwillingly memorized your ticks. How the right side of your face slightly twitches before every lie, or how the left side of his does the same before every lie. Much like right now.Â
The Brit contemplates for a minute, then two, then opens his mouth in the most hesitant manner.Â
âSheâs moving to Germany.â Carlos freezes. âOnly for a few months. Maybe a year, who knows. ButâŠyou should read her book.â
He unfreezes. âHer what?â
A faint smile. Eyes crinkled. âItâs a tough read, but I believe it was necessary. You know, to finally talk about it.â
-
He never quite believed you would open up this way, and yet here he was, in an unknown bookstore, spacing out. Your name jumps out like some shooting star, too difficult to ignore.Â
Without a doubt, youâd get a lawsuit from your step-father. Of courseâyou were only dragging the last name of what seemed to be the world's richest man.Â
For what itâs worth, Carlos is proud. This must mean youâre open to moving on. To get the necessary help you so desperately need. From start to finish, the pages are enticing. You go into gruesome depth, something you never seemed to have a problem in doing. From the mention of how her eyes remained open with no sign of life, only terror, to the fact that you got your many scars from punching the door, trying to get in on time. How he bribed his way against the laws.Â
Everything seemed to be coming out.
So then why, as he sits in his driver's room, staring at your picture in the back of the book, does he feel like doesnât believe it?Â
Not even a generous half.
-
Angelica lived up to the first five letters of her name.Â
She was there for you in the moments you needed her the most. She braided your hair for playdates, she tied your shoe laces even when you were too embarrassed to ask, and she worked her way up, making sure you had it all.Â
Undeniably, she was one hell of a woman. Then again, she had more within herâpulled some trigger you never thought sheâd pull.
You were going to lose it all, why couldnât she foresee that? That conversation was going to rip your inheritance straight from your tight grip; the one that ensured your future vacations. How could she ever betray you? Her own daughter?Â
You were acquisitive. You were possessive. You were partially responsible for her death.
But call it naiveness, you really thought itâd work.
No one will truly know the way your soul left your body when you heard you wouldnât get a single dollar. Not even a fucking cent. You had to find some other way to stay secure.
But Carlos was out to get you, you just know he was. You donât have a clue as to how he found out about the truth, about what happened inside that stupid mansion, but he knew it all. And you had to get out of there.
Only it led you back to square one. With no purpose. With no money. Fuck men and their actions, seriously, too all hell with them.
However, you were your mothers daughter at the end of the day.
You could be a writer. An even better one that she could've ever been. If you wanted to, you could do it.Â
And that is exactly what you did.
You typed, and typed, and typed until your fingers would cramp up. The multi-billionaire was a leviathan and everyone would see that no matter what.Â
You, on the other hand, were an innocent bystander. Too weak to intervene, to fight back. Too young. Yeah. That was what happened that night.
But you also had your own perspective. One your mom could never match.
While she married for the illusion of love, you wouldâve married for money with no shame. Carlos just happened to be the luckiest of strikes because you got both.Â
While she always was at the front of the room without having to try, you were always in the back with a bitter smile. Why did she get to have two dimples? All eyes would have surely been on you if you had at least one.Â
And while she never cared about reaching the New York Times Best Seller listâyou did.Â
She would have jumped with joy just by selling ten copies, but not you. You always wanted moreâcraved more. Label it as ambition.Â
More copies sold means more money. A trust fund means more money. Playing the victim against your step-father means even more money. So yeahâŠ
You did care about that stupid list.Â
Tilting your head back against your seat, you flinch at the taste of the pill, too familiar for your liking, but the wine helps. It always does nowadays.Â
Buzz.Â
Picking up with a level of indifference was all fakeâyou had been yearning this call for what seemed like your whole life.
âHey.â His voice is almost raw. Like he could use a couple cough drops. âI-I-I read your book. It was incredible.â
And for the first time in a while, you smile. âThank you, that means a lot, Carlos.â
You can hear the static against the line, indicating once again that youâre on opposite sides of the world and not together. You can almost bet that it will always stay that way.Â
The Spaniard coughs awkwardly into your ear.
âOh, and also, congrats on making it onto the New York Times Best Seller.â

1913 was a beautiful year. Theyâll tell you that. The following year was the worst. Tears, screams that pained them, and promises to come back that never felt true, until they were back.
Y/N was almost a year old when she was separated from her father. At that time, the man was her only parent, having never known the love of a mother. Then Polly came in the picture, replacing her father she didnât remember, and her mother she never met.
And then he came back. Polly had told her multiple times that the man in front of her was her father but seeing as she was only four years old, remembering things were the last thing Y/N cared for. Speaking properly, putting her shoes on and even reading was already a challenge for her.
So âTommyâ it was. It took her almost a year to call him dad. A year of repetitive questions. âWho are you ?â âWhere were you ?â â why are you here now ?â
Some would have lost patience, but never did he. And god knows Thomas Shelbyâs patience was thin.
To Thomas, learning the trust of daughter was his main goal. Her first, business after. Arthur always says that his brother has gone soft for the little girl. And never Tommy would deny it. She was the apple of his life. His anchor to earth when the shovels would be back at night.
Having missed most of her toddler years messed him up. Thinking was he wasnât able to carry her around in his arms, feed her or even cradle her at night pained him more than anything. And every day, under the dirt and the sound of bombs with not light at the end of the tunnel, Tommy prayed that she was safe, loved and that her innocence would remain intact.
And all of these efforts, all these years of gaining her trust and love, went threw the window. Years of work that took a minute to crumble.
" What ?"
During those said years, Tommy had learned a lot of things about his daughter. For starters, they did not only share the same physical traits, but also his character. As Polly would say, y/n learnt from the best. The second mastermind of the Shelby family. But all these skills had to come with a bit of negativity ; being a trouble maker, always getting herself in a though situation were Tommy always had to get her out. Her father had warned her multiple times that one day, she would get herself in trouble - something big and the Tommy wouldn't always be there to get her out. She had brushed it off, saying that she was smart enough to find a solution herself.
" You heard me. I warned you multiple times already. So, you are to leave for Liverpool Monday, first thing in the morning. I won't be there, but Polly will accompany you to the station. Once there, you'll be taking care of. And please, do't bring the trouble with you on your way, eh ?"
Her father, the person she trusted and loved most, was betraying her? Betrayal never felt so hard.
He was sending her away to Liverpool to attend a private Catholic school for girls only. He decided alone he didn't even talked about it with her.
" But you can't !"
Tommy sighed, as much as it pained him, he had to. He had warned her, again and again that this was bound to happen. Sending her away, where she would have the obligation to obey.
Polly and Arthur were right, Tommy was to sit with his little girl. The man never brought a hand upon her and the worst grounding she was no riding for a week.
But this ? For y/n it was the worst punition. No father, no Finn, no riding, no pictures, no friends, no liberty and far away from her family. But the worst of it all ? He wasn't even coming and she knew why. He would crack, take her in his arms, give her a lecture, hug her again and would bring her back home.
And y/n has the attention to play on that.
" You're sending me away, telling me this as if you are reading the paper. And you're not coming ?"
Tommy sighed, heavier than before. " I know, and trust me I would love to come but I can't. I have some important business to take of."
What a lame excuse, y/n thought.
"Bullshit." Thomas head shot up. His glare piercing holes in her head.
" I'm sorry, what ?" Y/n huffed. " see ? This is why im sending you there. So that fucking behavior of yours stop. I'm tired of always having to get you out of trouble."
The more he raised his voice, the more chances were slim for her to find an alternative with him. She had to think of something, and fast. Seeing at it was already Wednesday, she would have a few days to plan something.
" Okay, I'll leave. Can I be dismissed ?" Tommy looked at her as if she had become a ghost. He was expecting her to put up a fight, to scream, cry and whatsoever. For fuck sake's, he was ready to call Polly in case things got to Wilde for him to handle.
"You- huh yes, if you want."
Perfect. The first part of her plan was in action.
She nodded and took off toward her room. There, she packed a suitcase and hide it - but not too much, so it was still visible, under her bed. Until dinner time, she will stay in her room, letting her father alone with his doubts.
At the table, the tension was palpable, you could even cut it with a knife. No one was talking, Charlie was playing with his food, as per usual, Ruby kicking her legs under the table, happy to have sweet potatoes in her plate, Lizzie was eating slowly and silently, and while Tommy was smocking, his plate untouched, y/n was counting the green peas in her plate. She could feel his eyes on her, trying to know what she was thinking or more like what was she planning.
Little did he knew, she wasn't going to let him find out. No matter what it takes.
" Sweetheart, you should eat a bit more than a spoon." Lizzie, who's sat next to her, whispered.
" Im not that hungry. Dad ? Can I leave the table early please ? I would like to go to bed, im not feeling well."
The sound of silverware against the china plates abruptly stopped. What was it with the sudden politeness ? It was too formal - and so not normal - to come out of her mouth. Even her father was uncomfortable to be talked to this way by his daughter.
" Why so formal, eh ?" Y/n put down her silverware on the table and turned to her father with grace.
" Oh, just practicing my well behavior in order to be ready for Liverpool, sir. I do not want to cause any problems to anyone else." For a hot minute, Tommy and y/n looked at each other as id it was the competition. The first one to break the stare would show weakness and even though she knew that his death glare will never look away, she still thought she had a chance.
And to her biggest surprise, her father was the first to break the eye contact. She felt proud, knowing that she would be the first person to defeat him.
"What's in Liverpool ?" Ruby's little voice broke the silence.
"Our dear dad, my little Ruby, want me to leave the house for a few years because he is too afraid to admit the fact that he doesn't want me in his way. Too afraid that Iâm "a wild horse that cannot be calmed down for the big day". Am I right, daddy ?" Tommy pinched his eyes shut. Next to her, she felt Lizzie getting up, as if she was sensing the trouble from a mile away.
" C'mon kids, let's go upstairs."
The room now empty, y/n decided to put her plan into action. She forced her eyes to water. "Tell me, really. Why do you want me so bad to leave ?"
Tommy looked at her with uncertainty. The first time he truly felt helpless. He knew that if he opened his mouth only to say one word, he will crack and tell her to stay. But this would mean that he would have to accept the fact that he can be defeated - by his own daughter.
"I already told you. You are getting out of hand. Too much trouble comes your way and I canât handle it every time. I wonât be here all the time. You need to learn that.â
So it seems that Tommy wonât change his mind. But thatâs alright, sheâll find another way.
âDad-â
âNo. Go to your room Y/N, please.â

things had begun to be different between you and lando. you couldnât pinpoint the exact moment when the gears shifted, the stars aligned, though you only cared how good it made you feel with him.Â
but he knew. he knew exactly when.
youâd been dating lando for two years now. it was two years of pure blissâ the exciting lifestyle that youâve craved, the love and care, the passion that you shared with him was exquisitely yours. he is yours. and you are his.
that morning in the paddock he was speaking to max, chattering about the post collision from hungaroring. they seemed to make up in due time, finding it easier to call one another âbrotherâsâ again, despite the damages done to their cars and the media in an uproar about their impish, punitive behaviors. you didnât spare any glance towards the comments made about it, knowing that lando had been in a rough shape that weekend.Â
you played with penelope, p, as they were talking, squatted on the ground with colored pens in your hand. kelly loomed behind, on her phone, thankful enough that you could occupy her for the time being. you had no issue entertaining her. you loved being around childrenâŠmost of the time.Â
âthis one?â you held out the red pen for p, as she was pointing to with a bashful look. she was shyâ especially around you, given your ethereal, wanderlust nature. you carried yourself in such an elegant way that could facilitate a ray of sunlight through the most tepid storms.Â
she nodded and you handed it to her. she latched her smaller hand around it, coloring in the rb20 from her sketchbook. your hand fell beneath your chin as you watched her carefully color inside the lines, dreading falling out of it. you smiled as she did, the dress you wore crinkling fashionably around your thighs.Â
p flashed the page at you nervously, awaiting her input. your eyes glowed, sparkles falling onto the page as you scanned it. she really did do a good job.
âbeautiful, p!â you commented, your palm splaying over her upper back. âyouâre really good at this, you know?â
a shade of red filled her cheeks, warming her skin. you hadnât meant to embarrass her, nor make her nervous.Â
âdo you want to color one with me?â you asked her, pointing to the pages in the book. she hesitated for a moment, as if she didnât hear you properly, but ended up nodding with the same excitement that she did when sheâd see max on the podium. âyou pick. somethingâŠpretty.â
the gears were turning in her head as she flipped through the pages, trying to find the perfect one for you and her to work on. you, on the other hand, were focused on how her brows scrunched together as she furiously searched through her booklet. it was cute the way she perceived things. she was a cutie. it made you think about your own future, what you wanted.Â
what you wanted,
your eyes drifted from the carpeted floors inside the hospitality room, to the shoes that he wore, and up his black jeans to the papaya livery he sported for the day. you lingered on the expanse of his chest, the tan skin peaking through the v-neck of his unbuttoned collar. your mouth watered instinctively, thinking about how lucky you were to have a man like lando love you so deeply.
as you glanced further up towards his chin, the unshaved rigid surface that sparked electricity over your body, you found him already looking down at you. he wasnât even paying attention to max at this point, already giving you all of his attention and you didnât even need to ask.Â
you gave him a smile, covering your lips afterward to stifle your giggle, and turned back to p once she tapped you that sheâd found a picture for the two of you to color.
âmate?â
lando was lost in a daze staring at you. gawking at your figure, the dress you decided to wear. it was a denim colored sheath that youâd twin with alexandra with. sheâd wear the gia dress in a pomegranate hue, whereas you took the navy.Â
landoâs hand was cupped against his chin, rubbing over his stubble, keen on watching how you interacted with p.Â
your relationship had progressed further than heâs ever gotten to before in his life. he was at a point where he knew he didnât want anyone else, to explore someone elseâs body the way he did yours. he knew you, inside and out, and he didnât think another connection was even fathomable.Â
you appeared to be so gentle with her, taking the time to listen to what she wanted you to do, how to color, maneuver the pens. there would be no outside the line coloring on her watch, that was for sure.Â
he found himself smiling bright.Â
do you want kids?Â
he knew that he did. he always knew that. but heâd never broach the subject to you directly. your relationship with him was secure, but was it eligible to be taken to the next level? would you be frightened by his sudden urge to create a life with you? a product of him, and the most beautiful woman heâs ever seen?
âyeah? sorry.â lando looked back towards max. but it was too late, and max was looking over his shoulder towards you and p.
when he looked back towards lando, he threw his hands up in defense. max rolled his eyes. âdonât know why you havenât proposed to her yet. whatâre you waiting for?âÂ
lando bristled. he waited a moment to answer, wondering the same fucking thing. what was he waiting on? the perfect time, perhaps. summer break was rapidly approaching, and he certainly had a ring picked out.Â
the papaya clad driver pulled out his phone and scrolled through his photos, settled on the right one, and handed it to max. the other driver took it, zooming in, not that he needed to.Â
âwhen?â
lando shrugged. âsummer break. greece, maybe.âÂ
max cheered, slapping his hand over his mouth in shock. âyouâre serious, mate?â lando nodded. max pulled him in for a hug, slapping him over the back. he couldnât be happier for his best friend in this moment, starting to jump up and down. lando settled him down and slid his phone back into his pocket.Â
âkeep it quiet. i want her to be surprised.âÂ
max made a motion of a lock and key. âsurprised about what?âÂ
lando felt giddy.
you hadnât been paying much attention to what lando nor max were chittering about. youâd been so hyper focused on coloring with p, that you were absent minded of the conversation behind you.Â
p had picked out a cartoon illustration of max and lando smiling towards the viewer. youâd thought it was an adorable choice, and it showed that p was more aware than what she led on to be. she, of course, started coloring in max. with his neutrally blonde hair, redbull cap, she was fast working.Â
but then she shoved the book towards you, politely anyways, and pointed at lando, who was yet to be colored in.Â
âmy turn?â she nodded her head, handing you the orange marker.Â
you grinned, carefully coloring in the lines of the drawing before p took a deep breath. âare you and lando married?âÂ
the question had you freeze momentarily, taken back by her question. âno, p, weâre not.âÂ
you continued to color, whilst she continued to question. âwhy not?â
âbecause he hasnât asked me.â
âwhy donât you ask him?âÂ
âiâm not sure thatâs what he wants.â
p raised a brow. she looked towards lando and max, giggling together like school girls, then back to you and your focused coloring.
she handed you a brown marker for landoâs curls. âi think you should.â
now it was your turn to be inquisitive, âreally, now?â
she nodded her head without hesitating. âthen youâd be my aunt!â she giggled.Â
you colored in landoâs curls, carefully, diligently, thinking of how they felt beneath your fingertips. your breath hitched thinking about the thought of him proposing, wondering if he had ever even thought about it. you knew what your answer would be. it wouldnât even take a beat of your heart to give him in answer, if he chose to ask. if he chose you.Â
with one final stripe of a black marker, your drawing of lando had been finished. you stood up, and so did p.Â
âare you going to have babies?â
âp!â you gasped, mouth dropping. âthatâs none of your business, young lady.âÂ
she laughed, twirling around. âwhat? thatâs what mama says happens when you love someone.â confident, wasnât she? âdo you love lando?â
âof course i do, p.â
she gasped.
âis there a baby in there right now?!â she seemed concerned, becoming so bold as to touch your stomach. it was a little higher than where your womb sat beneath your skin, but close enough.Â
you shook your head. âno, honey. i am not having a baby right now.âÂ
she looked disappointed. taking her hand back, she crossed them over her chest.Â
âpenelope, what are you going on about?â kelly finally chimed in, rubbing pâs back with her hand.Â
ânothing.âÂ
but it wasnât nothing.
lando appeared behind you, a hand on your lower back. you leaned into him, recognizing his touch, and you got a brief wave of panic wondering if he heard your conversation with p.Â
âp,â lando said over your shoulder. she looked up. âdo you still have your bracelet making kit?âÂ
she nodded again, though you werenât quite sure what heâd need it for. you guessed youâd find out eventually, because lando uttered, âitâs a secret, sorry baby.â
and he followed p to her small table, pulling out the kit from her backpack. she had taken landoâs hand to guide him, and you watched fondly.Â
too fondly, you thought, and knew you were in deep shit.
the morning of the dutch grand prix had you biting at the corners of your fingernails with anticipation. the summer break you had spent with lando was more than you could imagineâ filled with delicious foods, sunny weather, morning swims, and of course, the sex. with more free time that lando had, he was utterly obsessed with you. he worshiped the ground you walked on, and it made you feel like more than the queen you deserved to be.Â
in the paddock you stood, shifting on your feet, anxiously fiddling with your purse once your fingernails sufficed. lily joined at your side, ethereal with her effortless beauty, and she nudged you with her elbow. âyou look nervous,â she gave a short laugh.
you scoffed but joined in on her antics. âdo i?â you certainly did. lily raised her brows to inquire further of your apparent distress.Â
relenting, you couldnât resist her. there was no reason toâ you were both practically attached at the hip. ever since oscar had been signed to mclaren, the two of you were inseparable. the famous mclaren WAGs.Â
your relationship with lando had been going on for two years now. sure, youâd had some rocky slopes to climb with the schedule of his career and the development of your own; thatâs the thing about relationships though, isnât it? that no matter what hill youâd have to climb, youâd find one another on the other side. the two of you wanted to make it work, so there was no obsolete universe in which youâd never find each other.Â
âhe needs this, lils.â you practically sighed, finally gaining the courage to look her in the eye. she looked at you with the same softness that a mother would, or a best friend that you could count on.Â
âyou know heâll do well.â oh, donât you know it. lando, whilst on vacation, never took a momentâs worth of rest. he wanted this just as much as you did for him, a second career win. it was all that you could think about the moment you stepped off the plane before him in zandvoort. it was going to happen. you had a feeling.Â
and a good one at that.Â
qualifying swept by in a flash. the saturday afternoon was a clean sweep for your boyfriend in the front row. you couldnât be more proud of him. when he was finished with his interviews and taking his leave with his half removed fireguard, you launched at him.
flinging your arms around his neck, he gripped onto your waist and thighs like his life depended on it. it did. your nose found the sweat against the column of his neck, inhaling deeply. you melted into him.
lando felt the same. with his forehead burrowing into the hair on your scalp, he let out a deep breath that heâd been holding since he got out of the car.Â
âmissed my sweet girl,â he breathed, the sweat and perspiration heating the hairs on your head. you sighed softly, relaxing into him as he held you tighter.Â
you broke away from him, setting yourself on the ground. you stood happily in front of him, rocking on your heels and playing with the hem of the black, sponser-ridden firesuit.Â
ââm so fucking proud, lan. pole? pole on the first race back?â you were in shellshock, overjoyed disbelief.Â
he raised a hand to cup your face before heâd be whisked away. the bracelet on his wrist caught your eye, one that he mustâve put on once he stepped out of the car. the friendship letter bracelet read loudly to you, it letters all capitalized.Â
âdaddyâ
you gripped his hand, observing the ornament. you raised a brow. is this the bracelet he had made with p?Â
lando let out a short laugh. âlike it?âÂ
you flushed, staring down at the small, dainty thing. it had you shifting on your feet, ideas and fantasies running wild through your pillage of a mind. âmaybe.â you hummed, stroking the beads with your index finger.Â
âwore it for you.âÂ
the statement had you standing up straight. âreally now?â lando nodded.Â
and before he was whisked away, he whispered into your ear, âdonât get any ideas, baby. i know that look.âÂ
you were rendered speechless, and by the time you managed to open your mouth, he had already left through the door.Â
the following day was race day. you were dressed flawlessly, curating perfection with your outfits to match the same prestige that lando had with his fans. also, you enjoyed feeling pretty. looking pretty, as lando would often say to you. he didnât forget this morning either, arriving to the paddock with you in tow, hand wrapped tightly with yours.
as he took selfie after selfie, signed hat after hat, he didnât forget to remind you, âyou look beautiful,â that always brought a smile to your face, a blush fanning your cheeks.Â
when the two of you made it inside of mclarenâs hospitality, you were greeted by both lily and oscar. you gave her a warming hug, and she returned it with the same affirmation. when you separated, she danced on her tip-toes. lando and oscar side stepped toward the tea and coffee station, chatting amongst themselves.Â
âwow!â you were confused, raising a brow. âfront row for him, hmm? told you, had nothing to worry about.âÂ
you rolled your eyes, still holding anxieties for the race. you were always concerned going into a weekend. no matter how many grand prixâs youâve attended, seen lando come out safe and sound, you still picked at the skin of your fingertips. anxious habits die hard.Â
landoâs managers came in alongside oscarâs beckoning both mclaren drivers to follow them to get ready for the race. lando found you instantly, his hands finding the handles on your hips, squeezing inward. you tensed at the action, wondering what had him on such edge.Â
you spun, hands running from his chest up to his neck, his cheeks. you cupped his face in your hands, sheepishly smiling.Â
âyouâll win this for me?â
he scoffed, âalways.âÂ
you smiled harderâif that was possibleâ and connected your lips with his. he returned your kiss, diving deep into your mouth. he held you close by your lower back, as if this was the last time that heâd ever kiss you. he sought to deepen your kiss by the clacking of your teeth, his tongue incessantly searching the inside of your mouth.Â
you separated yourself, still holding onto his cheeks. lando dipped his forehead against yours, seeking another kiss, but you pulled away. âgo. theyâre waiting for you.âÂ
âdonât care.âÂ
you flushed, allowing him one last peck before you patted his cheek. âseriously. go.âÂ
he chuckled to himself, kissing the top of your head, uttering a soft âi love you,â before being swept away.Â
âi love you too.â you mouthed, returning your attention back to lily. she was in awe of how you and lando behaved, carving such a rugged, playful boy into a man of posture and mannerisms that were only reflected by your good nature.Â
âwhat?â
ânothingâŠâ she looked away.
âlily.âÂ
âyouâve got that man on a leash,â she broke into a fit of giggles. you looked back to where they were walking out. lando had been looking for you, then at you. he gave a wave, you returned it, then looked back at lily.Â
âi prefer the term âfree-roaming.ââÂ
the race was coming to an end with a single lap left. lando led the race with a twenty-two second lead, and your hands were clasped tightly together with your headset on. you listened carefully to his radio messages, sassy and revving, and had your eyes locked onto the screen in front of you. with lily by your side, the two of you were anxiously awaiting the end.
your face suddenly appeared on screen, displaying your glistening eyes, perfectly done makeup and hair. a chic smile grew on your cheeks. you turned towards the camera man and allotted a small wave. your name appeared under the screen, lando norrisâ partner.Â
godâŠ
was there anything more prideful than that?
surely there was, but it didnât matter to you. you were there to support your boyfriend, lando, your lando, and it was more than enough to see that you were recognized as that.Â
the checkered flag appeared and lando was on the headline for crossing. you had to clutch your heart, hoping to grip it from the inside out to slow its beating, and it didnât cease when his mcl38 zipped past the flag.Â
there was an eruption of cheers throughout the garage and you were swarmed with love by the fellow mechanics and lily, too, who was happy for you to witness such a grand victory. a more than well earned victory.Â
a second one in the books for him. you couldnât have been happier.Â
the podium gathering didnât take long, and you managed to be at the front of the barricade, shoved forward by the team. you stood there, graceful and beautiful as he always saw you, and you were the loudest to clap and cheer as he walked out from the cool down room.Â
âyour winner, lando norrisâŠ!â and you couldnât help the tears that fell down your cheeks, the camera picking up your emotional feedback on the big screen. his eyes caught to it from the bannister, stepping up onto the tallest podium, and found you right at the front. his heart melted, dripped a red hot flame that burned for you. to see you there for him, emotional above all, solidified his feelings. what he wanted in his future.Â
you. you above anything else. you above racing, his career, his everything. he had nothing if you werenât by his side.Â
he took off his pirelli hat and let the national anthem play. the camera panned away from you then to zak brown. you swayed gently to the anthem, lost in your own world of loving him. you saw him through clear glasses, though he was always your rose. there was nothing more that you wanted in the future than to be with him. you and lando.Â
after his attributed champagne pop, the crowd dissipated from the pit lane and you engaged in conversations with different women, friends, and coworkers of mclaren. you were jovial with your presence, engaged as much as you could be, though your thoughts kept tracing back to him. lando, lando, lando.Â
you ended your evening in conversations with the ferrari womenâ alexandra, rebecca, and one of charlesâ friends, marta. youâre a recent acquaintance, meeting her only just a few moments ago. she was noticeably pregnant, and you wondered if that was just the recurring theme of the day.Â
âhow far along are you?â rebecca chimed in.Â
âabout twenty weeks, i think.â she smiled, holding her bump and leaning back into one of her heels to get a more comfortable angle.Â
âhalf way there! are you excited?â you asked her, sipping your sparkling water.Â
âof course,â she grimaced, though there was joy behind her eyes. âit can be hard, but itâs worth it. always worth it to see my husband with my daughter, and now itâll be brand new with this babe.âÂ
you gave her a heart-warming smile.Â
âthey kick every so oftenââ she grimaced again, reeling her face into a tight knot. âlike right now. do you want to feel?â she was looking at you. it took you a second to understand that she was referring to you, but you jumped at the opportunity.
âare you sureâŠ?âÂ
marta nodded. âput your hand here,â she placed your hand on her right side. you waited a moment before there was a small lurch beneath your palm. you looked up at her in pure disbelief, marveled by such a feeling. you wondered what itâd feel like to feel your own baby kick.Â
âsoâŠâ alexandra leered mischievously, âdo you plan on having children? with lando?âÂ
is everyone asking that today?
you stood up straight, embarrassed by the question, and brushed a piece of your hair behind your ear. âfor sure. thereâs no one else i want. whenever the time is right.âÂ
âheâd be such a good dad.â alexandra added, and you couldnât agree more.
âyou shouldâve seen him earlier with penelopeââ the girls were reeling at your story. âmaking bracelets with her. almost tripped over my own dress,â you covered your mouth to laugh, attempting to keep your voice down.
âsomeone has baby fever.â marta commented.Â
âugh,â rebecca groaned. âyou two are picturesque. alex and i were just talking about it.âÂ
âoh?â you wished to know more by their insinuation. it wasnât often that you listened to anything about you or landoâs relationship. half of the time it was negative comments from fans across social media, and you didnât want the other half to get to your head. you knew you were lucky as is, the least you could do was stay humble.Â
âohhhh most definitely.â alexandra nodded. âyouâve been together for whatâ ever? weâre waiting for an engagement post.âÂ
you were floored. it has been a good amount of time. âso am i,â it came as a laugh. you wondered if lando thought about it. if the thought ever crossed his mindâ the possibility of you becoming his wife.Â
it did.Â
he was watching you. heâd been done with his interviews for a good ten minutes now, but he was gripped by the scene unfolding before him. he had distracted himself by glancing at his phone, pretending to be scrolling through notifications. but he was staring. hard.Â
your hand was so tender-loving as it grazed martaâs baby bump. you looked up at her with a graceful smile, asking her important questions about her pregnancy. why were you so interested?Â
fuck, he hoped the answer he wanted was what you were thinking.Â
you, pregnant in your floral dresses, pleated gowns, traipsing around the halls of your joint home. barefoot, glowing, effervescent. he could see it now. the vision coming to life, coming to fruition from just a mere fantasy. he felt his dick twitch in his pants, his groin running hot.
he overheard the conversation, too.Â
âdo you plan on having children? with lando?âÂ
for sure. thereâs no one else iâd want.Â
fuuuuck. lando had to turn around, attempting to calm himself down. his entire body was aflame, an eternal gloss of bliss for wanting you. needing you. he needed to feel you. your touch. your skin beneath him, the way you curl effortlessly against the shape of his body.
yeah, heâs fucked.Â
after a few calming deep breaths, he was at least presentable. with his calmed down cock, he immediately made a beeline in your direction. he wantedâno, needed to get his hands around you as soon as possible. it was a world-ending feeling that suffocated him, gripped him by the throat.Â
you heard him approach before you saw him. landoâs hands were warm around your hips as he pulled you close. you felt the outline of his cock in his pants as he jut his hips forward. you turned your head over your shoulder, glancing up at him.Â
his nose found a home in the curve of your neck. you giggled when you felt his stubble tickle your skin, a hand coming instinctively to hold the side of his face tight against your skin. he breathed soundly against you, finding eternal peace of mind plastered against your body.
âit was nice seeing you alex, rebecca.â you began to bid your farewells. âmarta, it was a pleasure to meet you.â marta leaned in for a hug, which pulled you away from the warmth of landoâs body. you felt like a snail ripped from its shellâ hollow, cold.Â
âthe same for you,â pregnancy looked good on her. though, you canât recall the last time youâve seen her without a baby blooming inside her. âif you ever need adviceâŠalex has my number.âÂ
you blushed, feeling landoâs hand around your lower belly tense. âthank you. iâll be in touch.â you glance towards rebecca and alexandra, following landoâs pace back to the car.
landoâs eyes were hot as they drilled holes into the side of your head. you could feel it, though you werenât even looking at him. âi can feel your urge to talk, lan.âÂ
he laughed, holding your hand tight in his. âno. no, itâs nothing.âÂ
you stopped dead in your tracks, pulling your hand from his, crossing your arms over your chest.Â
âokay, okay,â he apologized, taking your hand back into his own, bringing it to his lips to kiss. his lips were warm and wet against your skin. your breath hitched.
âwell, go on, then.âÂ
âthis is the congratulations i get? damn, baby, youâre rugged.âÂ
you shoved his face away, beginning to walk back to the car once more. âyou know iâm proud. donât be silly, now.âÂ
âi know, i know,â there was a brief silence. âyou can show me in other ways.âÂ
âlando!â you gasped, and he broke into a fit of laughter. âdirty bastard.â you mumbled.Â
âwhat was that, baby?âÂ
ânothing. nothing. just like what you wanted to tell me, i guess.â two can play at this game. you heard him scoff, but ultimately relent.Â
âalright, alright. i justâŠâ he became shy with the tone of his voice. you could recognize it instantly. âheard your conversation with the girls, is all.âÂ
you attempted your best effort to still your facial expressions from annoyance, shock, embarrassment, and all of the fucking above.Â
 âyou heardâŠall of it?âÂ
âthe gist.âÂ
you tried to cover your face to shield yourself from the world. god, that was your fucking nightmare. you hadnât ever even touched upon a subject like that with him before. and now he had heard it from you talking to your girlfriends? oh, you just felt like the worst girlfriend in the world right now.Â
âfuck. i didnât mean toââÂ
âno, baby,â he opened the car door for you to slip into the passenger seat. you stepped in, gripping his forearm to sit down.Â
when he climbed in himself and turned over the engine, you shifted to face him. before you could even open your mouth to speak, he cut you off.Â
âi want kids, too, you know. with you.âÂ
âoh.â a weight lifted from your shoulders in that moment, and then you felt utterly stupid for thinking that he wouldâve reacted badly. this is your lando youâre talking to. a man you can share anything with. âyou do?âÂ
he looked flabbergasted. âyouâre joking, right?â
you shot your hands up in defense. âi donât know! children arenât exactlyâŠtemporary. i justâ i didnât know if you thought of meââ
âyouâre permanent, love.â his hand wrapped around your thigh as he pulled out of the driverâs lot, whipping past the fans that were keen on snapping a picture of him.Â
though youâve known that, deep down, it still hit you like the first time he told you that he loved you. a jaw-dropping epiphany that had been right in front of you the whole time. youâd been short-sighted, enjoying every moment that you had with him, and had become unknowing about the future youâve been perpetuating with him.
you covered his hand with your own, playing with the bracelets around his wrist. the charm bracelet âdaddyâ dangled between your fingers, rolling the beads over and over again.Â
âyouâd make a good daddy, wouldnât you?â you said the words under your breath, but even he could hear them like youâd shouted them in his face. he tightened his grip around your thigh.
âdonât say things like that,â he shook his head, eyes locked on the road ahead.Â
the air became heavy between you two. when wasnât it? not only did passion run through your veins, but heinous desire breathed life to your souls.Â
âwhy?â you stroked the top of his hand with your nails. âyou heard what i said to the girls.â his head lolled against the back rest. âwhatâs different now?âÂ
you felt the car accelerate. it vibrated the cushion you were nestled atop of, sending shockwaves through your cunt.
âdriving me fucking nuts, darling.âÂ
you knew you were. it was the secret to your relationshipâ the two of you understanding what made you tick. seethe with lust until there was no other option for you to climb him like a tree.
it didnât take long before he reached the hotel, pulling up to the front. you were getting your things to get up, but he was lost on his phone, pretending to be busy. âcoming?â you asked.
âpfftââ you could see him roll his eyes through the rearview mirror. âi wish. give me a second.â you couldnât help but huff to yourself under your breath, stepping out of the car with your heels clinking to the ground.
 with your purse over your shoulder you stepped up onto the curb, but was distracted by a small voice echoing over your shoulder.Â
down the sidewalk was a mother and a stroller. you smirked lowly, taking only the few steps itâd take to reach the mother and child.Â
âoh my gosh,â you squealed. the mother was taken back, but by your demeanor and eyes on her baby, she returned a smile. by her pink bonnet and bunny swath, you knew she was the cutest thing youâd ever laid eyes on. âshe is just the cutest thing!âÂ
âthank you,â the woman said.
âshe looks just like her mama,â you heard landoâs car door open, most definitely within earshot. âdonât you, sweet thing? yes you do!â you cooed at the baby, who erupted in a fit of louder giggles and mumbles.Â
the mother was flushed, but happy. âyouâre too kind. youâre good with children? do you have any of your own?âÂ
jackpot..!!
you clutched your purse as you stood up straight. you played into your theatrics, âoh gosh, i wish! my husband and i have been trying for ages, but heâs just so busy with workâŠâÂ
the woman tsked with disappointment for you. âyouâd make a beautiful mother,âÂ
âyou think so?âÂ
she nodded her affirmation.Â
âthatâs so sweet of you.â you were really milking this scene, especially that you knew lando was listening.Â
âis that your husband there?â she pointed to over your shoulder. and there he was, your husband, watching the two of you from behind the ajar car door.Â
âmmm, yes, it is.â you offered a cordial wave to him. he stuck two fingers up for a lazy wave, waiting for you to return to him. âi should go. it was a pleasure, maâam. your baby is adorable.â
she nodded a thanks, and you took your sweet time walking back to the car. you could hear lando tapping the windshield incessantly. before his head dipped down back into the car he called, âget back in.âÂ
youâŠadmit, you were confused. brows furrowed, you opened the passenger side door and bent down, âwhyâ?â
âget in the car,â your name was a rumble in his chest. you still didnât know what he was doing nor going, and your stubborn self wouldnât settle for a verbal answer.
you took too long for him. gripping your arm, he pulled you into the passenger seat, and you landed on your ass with a âthumpâ.Â
he fired up the engine again and pulled out of the traffic circle of the hotel. he radiated with heatâ you could feel it from where you sat. âwhere are we going?âÂ
he didnât answer you.Â
you crossed your arms and legs, looking out the window. the area was unknown to you, but lando always seemed like he knew where he was going.Â
it took only a minute for him to pull into an empty level of a parking garage, dimly lit with only one overhead light at the entrance of the ramp. he put the car in park.Â
âwhat are weââ
you couldnât finish your sentence until you were on his lap, hands gripping your waist so tightly that you had to gasp for air.Â
âhusband?âÂ
oh
ohâŠ!
well, this was a change you welcomed with open arms.Â
he lowered the seat back until you were straddled atop of him, fingers aimlessly toiling with the zipper of his jeans.Â
âdonât know what youâreââ
he snapped upward, gripping your chin between his forefinger and thumb. âbaby,â he breathed, and you shivered. âwhat do you want?â
your hips naturally moved back and forth against his own, dress hiked well above your stomach. his hand snaked between your legs, feeling the wet patch in your underwear. he hummed when you didnât reply, flicking his finger upward to graze your clit.Â
you mewled.Â
âwhat was that?â
your hand twisted around the hem of his shirt. you were already breathless, clenching around nothing except the sound of his words.Â
âtell me,â he muttered, staring up at your disheveled state. he made quick work of sliding your panties to the side, massaging the folds of your cunt between his fingers. you continued your writhing against him.Â
âwant you,â was what you managed to breathe out, hips rutting against his palm. he tsked, but allowed you this moment. a moment for him to bask in the way that you move your hips, writhe against his clothed cock that was egregiously hardening by the second and each amount of pressure you applied.Â
he slid his fingers in and out of you with ultra maneuvering, in and out, all around. he was a mastermind when it came to feeling you up, exploring you both on the outside, and the in. you were in heaven, ultimately, when he curled his fingers so deeply upon thrusting them. your cunt tightened so viciously around him that he groaned, his head falling back and his hardened cock thrusting upward. to no avail, his dick was strained against the cloth of his pants.
âfuck,â he cussed, curling his fingers over and over again. your body began to shiver, and only began to fall from grace when his thumb traced against your clit. stimulation grew hotter and hotter, until you let out a piercing moan from the depths of your throat. he angled his fingers differently, making you squirm.
âlando!â you breathed, feeling your climax creeping up on you faster than you could even blink. your core tightened, a coil of veracious flames churning around each other manifesting a slew of energy that released sparks from your nerves. your folds were inflamed, puffy, beating hot that you couldnât think straight. lando was touching you with his other hand anywhere that he could reach. he palmed your breasts through your dress, twisted a nipple to earn a delicious squeal.Â
âcome on, sweet thing,â he encouraged you with that stupid lopsided smile of his, you were looking down on him, sweat beading at his forehead, pupils blown dark and wide. his hand that was groping your breast moved upward, threading around the column of your throat. âshow daddy what youâre made of.âÂ
his hand tightened, and you felt the coil snap. he continued to pump his fingers in and out, maneuvering so perfectly, hitting that exact spot with precision.Â
he knew you came when your eyes rolled back into your head, legs quivering around his waist. god, youâre a sexy thing.Â
his hand loosened from around your neck, dropping to your chest, fiddling with the van cleef necklace he had gifted you. it reeked of possession, marking you as his with the âl.n.â initials engraved on the back of the golden surface.
the moment of bliss passed before he was pulling the zipped down from your dress and throwing it from over your head. your panties were next, though the fabric was thin as is. there you were, bare and glistening, before your so-called âhusbandâ as you had worded it. he wouldnât forget it, a spark igniting within him that was lit by the phrase leaving your tongue. he didnât think that it would affect him so muchâ
but it did.Â
he made quick work of his own pants, shoving them down to his knees beneath you, breathless and needy.Â
you gripped the hem of his shirt. he lifted his arms to hasten the process, and the shirt went to the back seat. with his skin exposed, you couldnât help but run your hands along his tan, toned chest. it made you dripping wet, though he was barely touching you now.Â
with your skin atop of his, carnage was sure to ensue. he took a drag of his fingers against your wet cunt and brought it to his lips. he sucked on them, releasing with a âpop.â your mouth hung open in anticipation for what he was going to do next. he always kept you on your toes.Â
but thisâŠthis is not what you expected.Â
he took a ring from his index finger, plated in silver, and slid it onto your ring finger on your left hand. the wedding finger.Â
it stuck to your sweaty palm, sure enough to not slip off.Â
âletâs make it official then, pretty girl.âÂ
you sat upon him astonished, looking down at the adornment that he had given to you. it dazzled on your finger.Â
âif youâre my wife, what does that make me?â
the words trembled from your lips, thighs tightening around his own. you could feel his dick sprung to life against your backside. âmy husband.âÂ
âgood, baby, you learn fast.âÂ
you gulped, finally taking a look at him from his propped upright position. he was downright smitten with you, guzzling everything about you inside of him. you were his, so much fucking so, that he was going to ruin you. and he didnât even feel bad for wanting it.Â
âmy husbandâŠâ you repeated, lowering your face down to meet his own. he smelled so goodâa mix of sweat and his cologne.Â
his hand tangled into your hair, creating a makeshift ponytail to meet your eye level.Â
âmakes me fucking crazy when yâsay itâŠâÂ
you knew that was the truth. youâd known the minute you sat down in the car. his demeanor had changed, shifted to something darker that you didnât quite understand. it was insane enough as is that youâd discovered so many things about him within a short period of time.Â
âhusband, daddyâŠwhatâs the difference?â you cooed, kissing up and down his neck. he groaned, landing a smack on your ass that had you giggling.Â
ââll just make you a mommy if you keep throwinâ that word âround.âÂ
you grinned ear to ear. against his cheek, you took a deep breath in, before letting go.Â
âdaddy.âÂ
if youâve ever made a good decision in your life, this has to be the best. a switch flipped. gears started to turn in his head. the spark plug burst into flames.Â
you were his undoer,
the key to his shackled restraint,
the sun to his universe.
it was always you. youâd been right in front of him for the past two years. two years to get to this point. two years for the woman he loved most in this world to be sucking his neck whispering âdaddyâ into his ear.Â
lando sat upright in the seat. with a hand at the back of your head, he forced eye contact with you. this was different. this look. you could feel it in your heart, your folds, as they began to beat synchronously. life with him was euphoria, and sex had been the serendipitous release for both of you.Â
but seeking the future together?
heaven incarnate.
despite being locked inside such a tight space, lando managed to swap your position with a suave move. you were on your back, shocked by his carnal rampage, as he hooked your legs upward. your toes scathed the ceiling of the car, pressed deep into the metal chassis.Â
âkiss me,â you demanded with the breath that you could take. he didnât waste a second, leaning down to your lips and capturing you with the most breathtaking press that he could muster. his tongue and your own fought for dominance over one another; you lost, quickly, unable to match his revered pace.Â
he wanted to eat you from top to bottom. devour your insides, carry you with him every day of his life. you would be his, one way or another, and he didnât care how it was.Â
lucky enough, you were more than willing to be his bride, his lover, his person.Â
because he was yours.Â
then he was inside of you. braving the treachery of your tight walls, he hissed when the tip of his cock slipped through your folds. youâd been dripping on the leather seat.Â
âfuck, babyâŠâ his head fell to the crevice of your neck and collarbone.Â
âoh my godddâŠâ the moan you both let out was terribly lewd, grotesque, even, with how he didnât start a pace. you both savored this sweet moment of lust, passion, and a figurative toast to a lifelong commitment to fucking one another.Â
with each thrust he took, he aimed to make a statement. deeper and deeper he penetrated you, his cock crafted of divine measure with how he quartered your g-spot.Â
you could never stay still beneath him. it had him on edge the way you squirmed. dare say it was one of the most favorite things about you, though the list would be never-ending. you shiver from pleasure, leaning into him as your cunt squelches beneath you.Â
echoes of moans bounce off the interior of the car, whilst a smile of greed and possession conceives on his own cheeks. the angle he has you at is deeper than any that youâve had beforeâ it left no room for noncommittal nature, no room for you to complain about wanting him closer, more, more, more.Â
âyâfeel me here?â his hand rest on your lower belly, your womb, as he applied pressure. you do feel him there. the indent of his cock is poignant, bulging out from the skin.Â
âmhmâŠ!â you whine, trying to keep your mouth shut from the onslaught of moans pouring out.Â
his attention turned to your tits as he swallowed a nipple whole with his tongue, sucking feverishly at the sensitive bud. it had you weak, dribbling to puddy.Â
he could only think about how youâd look pregnant. swollen tits, round belly, glowing with his child.Â
âthis what you wanted?â he grunted, his pace quickening. you were too dumb to speak, a droplet of drool leaking from your mouth. âhm? fuck youâfuck, fill you up?âÂ
your back arched at the sentence, not knowing that his words could have such an arousing effect on you. this arousal was different. the way you clench around him was different. your actions spoke a lot louder than your words.Â
âyeah? i can feel you, darling.â sounds of skin slapping and your hoarse voice could only be heard. he fucked you so good, treated you even better. fuck it, youâd rather be pregnant than anything else.Â
âplease, pleaseâŠâ you didnât know what you were pleading for, in truthâ he was already fucking you like heâd been in a rut.Â
âyeah? that what you want? want a baby?âÂ
your head nodded furiously up and down, tears of pleasure streaming down your cheeks. lando bent down to kiss them away, followed by a capturing of your lips. he swallowed your breaths, your moans. he trailed kisses down the column of your throat; your collarbones, breasts, nipples, nothing went untouched by his mouth.Â
âgodâŠtheseâŠâ he muttered against your tits, voice sending shockwaves through your body. âimagine how big theyâd be.â he managed to chuckle to himself. âswollen and beautiful,â he kissed the top of your abdomen.Â
âlandoâŠâ
his head shot up from his daze.Â
âthe time is right. please, pleaseââ your words seemed to hit him like a truck. the foreplay had turned reality, and he was more than ready to lurch into fate.Â
âwhat, pretty girl?â
your face flushed, biting your lip. âgive me a baby, need itâlan, need it so bad.â your hand found the back of his neck, tugging on the strands of his hair.Â
he tsked, his pace evening out to a level throttle. your lips formed a sweet pout, and he stroked your chin with his index finger. âgive you?â he mocked. âoh, donât think thatâs how we ask, do we?â
âlanâŠplease, please, can i have your baby? need it so bad lando, need itâŠâ you swallowed your breath. âdaddyâŠwanna make you a daddyâŠplease.âÂ
it was more than enough for him. âatta girl.â he grunted, deepening his lackluster thrusts into thrilling rides on his cock. âyâlearn fastâŠkids âr gonna be so smart.âÂ
âyes, yes! so good, lan.â you heaved, the heat in your cunt finding a boiling point, and he felt it by how tight you became around him.Â
âgo on, baby, take it. be a good girl and take it all.â youâd do anything to hear your lando call you a good girl. it had been more than enough to send you over the edge into a spiraling orgasm that had slick seeping around his cock. your vision whitened, and you could only see the shadow of your âhusbandâ through the light.Â
with sloppy thrusts, lando came with ease. he didnât pull out urgently, letting his cum soak inside of you. he peppered kisses along your ankles, your calves, and let them fall to the seat.Â
out of breath, your chests rose and fell at a rapid pace. landoâs forehead connected with your own, and through the haze of post-sex, he smiled at you.Â
you smiled back. the two of you broke into a laugh.Â
âfuckinâ knew that was gonna happen today.â he commented lazily into your chest. a hand of yours threaded through his brown curls.Â
âyour mastermind plan to babytrap me.âÂ
he raised a brow. âdid you plan on leaving?â
you gave him a knowing look. ânot in the slightest.âÂ
he became embarrassed and sheepish as he hid his face into your ribs. âno chance of it, now.âÂ
you chuckled, flexing your fingers to see the ring still there. âi want a real proposal, by the way.âÂ
his head shot up. âwhat? this wasnât good enough?â
you palmed his face with one hand, and tugged the back of his curled head with the other. âbastard.âÂ
it only took you two ten minutes to get your clothes back on from such a leisurely excursion from the empty parking garage. covered in his spit, sweat, and cum, you didnât feelâŠ.dirty.Â
when he finally pulled up to the valet and opened the door for you, you stepped out as graciously as possible. though your hair was a tangled messâ you tried your best. lucky enough it was late enough to where minimal paparazzi were gathered. thank god.Â
you shifted on your feet, shimmying the dress down, but lando came to your rescue. he pulled the dress down where it was crumpled at the back, caught between the hem of your soaked underwear.Â
âthat was a rental, wasnât it?â you pointed out, looking over your shoulder.
âthey should auction it.âÂ
you spun around and laughed in his face, gagged by the ego he has. âyou have a big head.âÂ
âneed all that room for you.âÂ
âcheesy.âÂ
landoâs eyes lit upâ though exhausted from the day and your antics, the sun still rose for himâ âalmost forgotââ he reached into his pocket whilst you waited patiently.Â
he pulled out a bracelet.
a friendship bracelet.Â
âthought it suited you.â he put it around your wrist, and you analyzed it clearly. in white, capitalized letters it read:
âMOMMYâ
âyou really had this thing planned.â you were impressed.Â
he shifted on his heels, throwing his hands up as if saying âwhat can i say?â âp thinks youâre pregnant now.âÂ
you gasped. âlando!âÂ
âi meanâŠhopefully.â he winked as you fiddled with the jewelry, still not bothering to take off the ring from your finger.Â
âwellâŠâ you brought a finger to your lips, thinking, âwe have to be certain, donât we?âÂ
lando was catching your drift as you walked backwards towards the entrance of the hotel, luring him in with your charisma. âperhapsâŠâ
âsoâŠwe need to try again.â he wasnât going to argue with that. âand again.â or that. âand again, for good measure.âÂ
âyouâre gonna kill me, baby.â he whined, chasing you up the steps. you squealed, running forward. inside the elevator you two went, clicking the floor for your room.Â
after further inspection, landoâs brows furrowed after he glanced over you. âwhat?âÂ
he covered his mouth to shield his devious smile.Â
âwhat, lando?âÂ
he coughed to hide his amusement, but it was a very bad act. âyouâreâŠâ
âwhat?âÂ
âyouâre dripping.â
you looked down at your thighs and saw the glistening reflection of his cum seeping out of you. fuck. maybe the first time was the charm, but you hoped it wasnât.Â
you really hoped it wasnât.Â

âShhhh Elena, youâll get caught!â
âAda, shut it! Youâre the one who said itâs here!â

Cute stuff again !
âJe pense toujours que câest pas une bonne idĂ©e, Charles.â ( i still think itâs a bad idea, Charles ) The man chuckled, looking up from his phone.
â Mais si, tâinquiĂšte pas. Si tu te sens pas bien dis le moi et je mâarrĂȘte, promis.â ( Donât worry. If you donât feel good just tell me and weâll stop. I promise.) Y/N looked at him suspiciously, knowing that he would tease him about it after.
The couple had rented an hour at the Monza circuit for a bit of fun- well for Charles at least.
âHm, va doucement.â ( Hm, go slowly.) Charles looked at her as if she was joking. â Au moins au dĂ©but, sâil te plaĂźt.â ( At least at the beginning, please. ) The driver sighed but agreed nonetheless.
The first lap was smooth and calming, Charles driving at 80mph at most, taking the turns calmly. The follow lap was the beginning of her nightmare.
âFREINE !â ( Break !) The monĂ©gasque laughed, feeling exited. âArrĂȘte ! Freine !â ( Stop ! Break !)His girlfriend was gripping at everything she could, her body turning left and right as he took the turns. The worst was the chicane before the finish line. The Ferrari driver took it at Almost a 100mph, the tires screeching against the track were almost inaudible from the sound of his girl screaming !
âMercedes threw everything at him !â Her voice broke a little because of the fear of speed. â Charles Leclerc- oh putain- Charles Leclerc has copped brilliantly! He won in Spa ! He wins in Monza !â Getting out of the chicane, Charles put his foot down on the pedal, chasing the 190mph. â Charles Leclerc is the winner of the 2019 Itilian Grand Prix !â
The man screamed in victory, recreating his glorious day a few years ago.
âOk, stop maintenant.â ( Ok stop now ) Charles took it as his cue to stop the car. Once in the pit lane, and the engine off, he turned toward his girlfriend. âAlors ? Je suis si nul que ça ?â ( So ? Am I that bad ?)
She smiled at him. â En vrai ? CâĂ©tait bof.â ( Honestly? It was⊠okay.)
Both of them laughed.
âTu connais par cĆur Monza ?â ( You know Monza by heart ? ) The monĂ©gasque asked, eyes glittering with joy.
âBien sure, câĂ©tait lâune de tes meilleurs moments.â ( Of course, it was one of your best moment.) The couple looked at each other for a moment. âJe suis fiĂšre de toi mon cĆur.â ( Iâm proud of you, my love.) They smiled, looking into each others eyes. Charles leaned forward to kiss his girlfriend but as he closed his eyes, their helmets knocked into each other, sending the couple into a fit of laugher
Harry Styles x Reader.
ANGST : In which Farah and her Bestie Maddy attend Love On Tour Wembley 4 and things take a turn for the worst. But, Harry is here to save the day.Â
A/N : men are trash, and Iâm speaking from experience.
Request are open !
Wembley stadium was more than alive tonight. People were dancing crazily, not having a care in the world whether theyâll be judged or not. In this fandom, if he dances, you dance too.
Harry was having a blast tonight. It is his fourth night in a row at Wembley, his family and friends are here, the fans are singing and dancing. Everything goes well for him.
But not for everyone.
Farah and her best friend Maddy are enjoying their night. They say the pit is the worst place for a concert, and Farah should have listened to her friends when they told her. But in her and Maddyâs opinion, the more expensive, the better.
Just as the first notes of Satellite echoes around the stadium, Farah feels someone touch her back. It was a light touch, like someone's fingers, so she didnât give it a second thought. Probably the girl dancing behind her. However, the second time she felt being touched, the young woman turned around. She was ready to tell the girl to stop it before her eyes were met with masculine ones. He was tall and overlooking everyone in front of him, looking straight at the stage. His hands were in his pockets, and his body rigid, as if dancing in general was a curse.
Just as Farah was about to tell him to stop touching her, Maddy grabbed her shoulder. â It's weird ! Why is he staying on the front stage ?â The young woman looked toward the front stage, where effectively, Harry was staying. She is right, they are almost at the end of the chorus and Harry hasnât moved. People in the pit are whispering. â Did he hurt himself ?â âWhere are the stomps ?â
Just as Farah was about to answer her friend, Harry grabbed his microphone and walked straight to the left catwalk, close to the two girls. â Oh my god girl !â Maddy jumped in ecstasy when the singer stopped right in front of them, as if he was serenading them.
Farah swung her arm around her friendâs shoulders and swayed awkwardly to the music. Still dancing, their eyes were glued to the artist, his voice was joyful, but his eyes were serious, as if was trying to read into someoneâs mind.
Right at the end of the chorus, Harry locked eyes with Farah, concern showing on his face.
Are you okay ? He mouthed  to her.
Farah smiled, and internally screamed. As she opened her mouth to say âyesâ, she felt something warm land on her bare back, as if someone was squeezing a bottle of lotion on her. Utter confusion spread on her face, what is it ? Just as she was debating to turn around and check, Harry yelled at the top of his lungs to stop the show.
No need to say that she wasnât the only one to be confused.
â Are you okay ?â Â Farah ignored the artist and turned around. Even though her subconscious was screaming at her that there was no need to check - because deep down she knew what it was, she had to.
The first thing she notices is that the tall guy is gone, then she sees two girls looking at her back with shocked expressions. One of the reacts faster than everyone around and reaches for Farahâs arm. The second person to react is Maddy, grabbing her shoulder to tell her that itâs okay, that it will go away, and the third person is Harry.
â Can someone get her out of here ? A woman ! And for Godâs sake find that dude !â His voice is louder than the whispers of the stadium. People have their phones out, recording him - recording her. Tears welled up in her eyes and soon enough Farah was a sobbing mess.
Harry could hear the heartbreak and the embarrassment in her sobs. He felt helpless. Just as two women from his security team reached for the young girl, Harry jumped off the stage. Some girls screamed in excitement but most of them knew from the serious look on his face that he wasnât here for hugs and kisses. Â He then proceeded to walk behind them out of the pit and into a more secured arena.
â Some fucker jerked off on her !â Maddy roared to the security staff. â Have you seen what he looked like ?â The tallest woman asked. â Of course not ! It was too fucking dark to see !â
Harry looked at Farah, the poor girl was shaking. He took the towel and the bottle of water from the other womanâs hands and then proceeded to pour some on the fabric.
â What is your name, love ?â Harry asked gently. He could hear the stadium rumbling with impatience. He hoped no one took it as their cue to leave, because the show was far from being over.
âFarah.â The young woman answered. Clearly, if he wasnât paying attention he wouldn't have heard it.
â Farah, I'm gonna clean you up a bit, if itâs alright.â She nodded and he began to clean the covered skin of her back. It wasnât even his body but gosh, Harry felt disgusted for her. Now that he thinks about it, he kind of feels guilty, as if he could have prevented it from happening. But the truth is that he couldn't have.
Just as the star was about to clean the top of her pants, his manager Jeff came running to him. â Mate what happened ? You shouldnât be down here !â Harry knew Jeff was right, but he couldn't help it, he had to help her.
â I know. Listen, in my dressing room, on the couch, I left my track pants, the black ones. Can you bring âhem to me please ?â The slightly older man agreed and went backstage. â Farah ? My friend went to get you a new pair of pants okay ? We are going to find somewhere private so you can change, okay ?â The young woman nodded in her friend's arms. â Weâll get you guys some seats in the vip section, yeah ?â Maddy looked at him with pleading yes and said thank you.
A few minutes  later, Farah was changed into Harryâs pants. â Are you sure you are okay ?â The woman nodded, still shocked from what had happened. â Iâm so sorry. If I had known-â
â You couldnât, itâs okay. Thank you so much.â Farah leaned into Harryâs arms and without any second thoughts, he wrapped them around her with a secure grip.
â If there is anything I can do, tell me alright ?â Â Farah hummed into the crook of his neck. In any other circumstances, Harry would have felt uncomfortable, but right now, he just couldnât. It was wrong of him, the timing was right, but having her in his arms this way, comforting her as best as he could, that felt right. Â Harry leaned back and put his hands on both sides of her face. â We will find him, okay ?â Farah closed her eyes and nodded.
Out of nowhere, Harry kissed her forehead. â I have to go back on stage. Jeff is going to lead you to your vip box, okay ?â Â He said in a small voice, as if the moment was just reserved to the two of them.
â Okay, thank you.â Harry shook his head. â No need to thank me, love.â
Some cute stuff because why not. Not proofread btw !
Harry could tell you the first time it happened in a heartbeat. A month into their relationship and at his house.
She had come over for a date night, Harry had cooked some veggie pastas with a bit of pesto sauce. They had watched a movie, the Notebook precisely, and of course, had done the nasty before going to sleep.
It was around two in the morning, when Harry woke feeling a bit cold and confused.
The space beside him was empty and cold, meaning she had left a few time ago already. When he sat up to look at the time, Harry felt a mass ogling his leg.
And there she was, legs dangling out of the bed, on her stomach. Her left arm was draped over his legs while her right arm had slipped under the small of his back, fingers gripping his love handles.
Harryâs heart fluttered. There was something very intimate about her position. The fact that they were both naked, for starters, but also the way her head rested against his thigh, her cheek squished against his soft skin, close to where his most intimate region was, felt way more intimate than a simple naked cuddle.
She was too beautiful, and looked too peaceful to be woken up. Harry laid back down softly, and with a dreamy sigh threaded his fingers through her hair.
The second time it happened was well deep into their relationship. They were in Italy, on a rented yacht away from preying eyes. They had fell asleep on this big mattress to the sounds of waves crashing against the boat.
Harry was the first to wake up, feeling too hot and sweaty down there. He raised his upper body on his elbows, having a feeling that the reason behind his sweatiness was his girlfriend. And there she was again, spread against him.
Harry laughed, this time was more funny and cute than intimate. She was laying between his legs, arms around his middle and her head resting on his pelvis. If anyone saw, it might have looked like she was not sleeping, judging by the fact that her mouth was literally open and drooling on his crotch.
That thought spurred something in him, and well Harry didnât woke her up, but little him did.
