Round Sixteen - Singapore GP
Charles was worried about you. You had barely said a word since the race ended, only congratulating your boyfriends on their great results. You were disappointed in yourself for finishing last place. Technically it was 15th place but everyone behind you had DNFâd so you were the last one to cross the finish line.
The bath did little to ease the tension embroiled in your body and you sank down beneath the surface. A wavering image of Charles filled your vision as he took a seat at the edge of the bathtub and trickled his fingers through the water. Only when your lungs began to burn did you resurface with a deep gasp for fresh air.
âYouâre going to catch a cold, ma chĂ©rie,â Charles said softly as he wiped away the rivulets of water. It was almost like he knew they were mixed with your tears. âHow are you feeling?â
âLike shit,â you whispered. âI think I am just going to stay in tonight, I donât want to hold you back from celebrating. You guys did great today.â
âYou are being too hard on yourself. It sucks, Lando and I know that first hand,â he chuckled, referring back to the first half of the season. âBut youâll come back stronger, I know you. Youâll be back in the points next week.â
You smiled weakly at his confidence and accepted his hand that helped pull you from the bath. âAre you willing to bet on that?â
âD'accord,â he nodded, wrapping you tightly in a towel before kissing your forehead. âI have faith in you, mon amour.â
âThat makes one of us,â you joked, feeling a little better now that you were wrapped in his arms. âYou should get ready to go, Lando is going to need you to carry him home tonight.â
âMon Dieu, him and Carlos drinking together,â Charles groaned as if just realising what he was in for. âAre you sure you donât want to come?â
You nodded and stepped out of the bathroom to grab your phone. âI think there is another Verstappen somewhere around here feeling sorry for himself too, and misery loves company.â
Max arrived before Lando had finished styling his hair and he came bearing gifts, a bag of mouthwatering food packed full of local dishes in one hand and a bottle of gin in the other.Â
âNow itâs a pity party,â you laughed as he made himself comfortable in the living room. He didnât even bother with plates, just eating straight out of the containers while he changed the channel off MTV. âAre you planning on sharing or do I need to order my own?â
âDepends if you care what Kristian thinks,â he shrugged, pushing a container aside. He grinned knowing you couldnât turn down the grilled kebabs slathered in a sauce that would give your PT a heart attack. âLive dangerously, zusje.â
You snorted and dropped into the seat beside him, grabbing a pair of chopsticks and the dish from the coffee table. âI hate you.â
âUh-huh, heard that before,â he teased as continued to flick through the channels until he hit the movies. âFast X?â
âNo,â Lando answered for you as he finally appeared from the bathroom with his hair perfectly styled and his shirt half unbuttoned. He explained that it was to combat the humidity in the country but you and Charles knew it was because he loved to flash his tanned and toned chest, almost as much as you liked to see it. âSheâll get pissed off that it is too unrealistic.â
âIt is unrealistic,â you pointed out.
Max laughed, âItâs a movie.â But he still changed the channel. âMaverick? The original.â
âSure,â Charles said with a grin as he pulled his shoes on, âif you want to comfort her when Goose dies.â
âYou are impossible.â Max shook his head and tossed the remote on your lap. âYou choose something.â
Ready to leave, Charles looked like he was going to ask you if you had changed your mind before thinking better of it. Instead he kissed you as innocently as he could manage with your brother sitting beside you. âJe tâaime.â
âLove you too, have fun.â You held your hand out to Lando and pulled him down to your height for a kiss too. âNot too much fun. I donât want to wake up to any new CarLando rumours.â
He knew you were joking and he nipped your bottom lip for it before pulling away and holding his necklace up. âHoly trinity, baby: you, Charles and me.â
âThatâs why you are missing your top three buttons,â Charles teased as he slung his arm over Landoâs shoulder. âAll for the necklace and definitely not vanity.â
âMe? Vain? Never,â Lando scoffed. âI am humble, thank you very much.â
âMhmm, so humble, mon cher,â Charles agreed sarcastically as he led them to the door before blowing you one final kiss. âBonne nuit.â
Round Seventeen - Japan GP
Lawrence wanted to speak to you after the race finished and you hoped it was because he had some answers as to why the car was struggling. The upgrades seemed to make it worse and it was a hell of a push just to get back in the points, but you had made it like Charles assured you would.
Walking into Lanceâs side of the garage, you assumed his father would be nearby. What you didnât account for was Lance storming through the engineers after his DNF. It was a moment of wrong place at the wrong time that put you into his path and you felt the need to at least say something to him.
âSorry, man, that was a rough one.â Hindsight was a real charmer as his green eyes narrowed with rage and you were shoved to the floor. Your ass met the hard concrete and the garage fell silent as they witnessed the attack.
Your shoulders ached where he had pushed you, but your butt would surely have bruises come morning. Calmly, you swallowed down the pain as the cameras waited for your reaction and you rose to your feet. You wiped the dust from your backside and looked at Lance. âAt least I know how you injured your wrists, youâre a real fucking wanker.â
Word spread like wildfire as the footage was shared around the paddock and the world and your call to the Stewards came before Lando finished his podium celebration, the first you hadnât been there to witness. It only added to your sour mood as you stepped into the meeting room and found an empty chair opposite Lawrence and Lance. You were by no means alone but everyone who had been asked to come as witness were all on Lawrences bank roll so you might as well have been.
The tedious hearing details were read by the Stewards, along with footage that showed the push that put you on your ass. They turned to Lance first, asking for his take on the event and whispered with his father before sitting back.
âIt was an accident, I didnât see her there.â
You scoffed under your breath but caught the look Lawrence sent you as the Steward asked you the same question. It was a look that everyone had warned you about. It was the look that drew the line in the sand of who had his support, and why wouldnât he take his sonâs side - he was a father first and a principal second. It was a look that said you would be finding another team next year if you werenât careful.
Looking down at your hands the words tasted like ash. âLike Lance said, it was an accident.â
The steward nodded and typed some notes on his laptop. âThen the matter is settled, you will be fined âŹ20,000.00 for unsportsmanlike behaviour.â
You lunged out of your seat and slammed your hands on the table at the ruling. âFor what!â
âYou saw the same evidence as I did,â he said, ignoring your outburst. âYou clearly called Mr Stroll, Lance, a âfucking wankerâ on live tv. If that is all, we have another review about to begin.â
You left the room to see Bottas and Sargeant waiting with their team representatives and kept your head low as you passed by, feeling their curious eyes following. Lawrence kept pace with you as you left the building, Lance lagging somewhere behind, and you debated breaking into a sprint to see if the old man could keep up.
âThank you,â Lawrence said, nearly making you trip over in surprise.
âThank you?â you growled as you turned on him. âI saved your toddlerâs career, you can do better than a fucking âthank youâ.â
âLance is struggling and itâs affecting him badly, but thatâs no excuse for how he treated you.â Lawrence placed a hand on your shoulder but you shrugged it off as you remembered the look in the meeting room. You may both be wearing the same colours but you were not on the same team.
âYou can still be a good father and not protect him from everything. In fact, it might just do him a lot of good in getting his head out of his ass. Now, I am going to go and take an ice bath and you are going to pay my fine. If thereâs a bonus in my bank account when I get back to the hotel, weâll call it even.â
You left without giving him the time to respond and jogged back to hospitality, an unfortunately long distance from the FIA building. Some of the teams were already starting to pack their motorhomes down but Aston Martin was still lively, even more so when you stepped inside and saw Charles, Lando and Max looking tense amongst a group of Lanceâs friends that travelled with him .
âWoah, stand down, killers,â you teased with a flippant attitude you didnât feel. âShouldnât you take it out to the parking lot?â
âToo many witnesses,â Max muttered.
âI was joking, we can all relax. You three, my room. Now.â You pointed your finger to the stairs and waited for them to start walking before you followed, glaring at the rest of them. âDonât you have more important things to do, like I donât know, check Lance has warm milk in his sippy cup?â
âLittle bitch.â
âFils de pute, va te faire enculer!â
You blocked the stairs but Max had already grabbed Charles and held him back. âThatâs an insult to his mother,â you said as the door opened and Lance arrived. âItâs not her fault her son is a sycophant, and hereâs his sugar daddy now. Tighten the leash on your little friends, Lance. Itâs the least you can do since you owe me.â
His lips twisted into a grimace at the reminder but he jutted his head to the other end of the motorhome and his friends followed him, their disappointment palpable. You could only imagine what he had been telling them in private to create that sort of reaction and realised why the driver had gone through so many teammates on the grid. He was insufferable.
You gently pushed on Charlesâ arm when he didnât move, he was intently watching the group leave and the staff return back to their jobs as if nothing happened. âCome on, babe, letâs just get my stuff and go home.â
âSince when are you the rational one?â Max asked as he led the way with Lando and left you to hook your arm with Charles and follow.
âMaybe Iâm finally maturing.â you said with a grin that finally had the tension lifting as they all started to laugh. âRude.â

tw// anxiety mention, internet translated spanish
you looked into the lens of your vlogging camera and sighed deeply in frustration, bringing your hands to your head and smoothing your palms over your slicked back hair. nearly a year ago you'd made reservations to visit the Canary Islands with your best friend as a girls trip. when the two of you were younger you'd learned about the islands during a geography class and promised one another that you'd visit when you all were older. the reality of being an adult in your young 20s hit harder than a freight train and the two of you nearly gave up on the trip as a whole because it was so costly. however, when your social media career took off and the brand endorsements, monetization, partnerships, and other deals rolled in the ability to take the trip became a reality.
now, you were only a week away from flying into Gran Canaria and of course a problem came up with the reservation for your first hotel. you explained in a whisper to the camera in front of you, "so i've been trying to fix this problem with our reservations. basically, they've cancelled one of the rooms and i've been emailing back and forth for two days and it's not getting anywhere so i'm gonna go call on the phone and see if that works better." you held your phone in one hand and paced around your hotel room, adding and taking things out of your suitcase nervously.
you muted yourself and picked up your camera to move to another room instead. peeking from behind the door your spoke quietly, "well, while we wait for someone to answer i've been wanting to do this tiktok trend and lando isn't doing anything...oddly enough so i'm taking my chance." a smile crept onto your face as your rounded the corner and saw your boyfriend sitting on the sofa typing away on his laptop. you placed your vlogging camera down on the table in the middle of the room so it still showed you in the frame. then, you moved and sat on the other end of the sofa and stretched your legs out so your feet were just touching the side of his thigh. he lightly flicked your socked foot with one of his fingers and wrinkled his nose, "your feet stink." the eye roll you made made him laugh and you shot back, "you're just smelling your upper lip." he pulled one of the throw pillows from behind his back and tossed it lightly at your face, "no that's your feet, you muppet." you burst into a fit of laughter and pulled the pillow into your chest, squeezing it when you heard the hold music stop on your phone.
an older man on the other line answered, "hello miss?" you unmuted yourself and responded, "yes?" he quickly informed you, "all of our english speaking representatives are busy right now please continue to hold." before you could even respond he put you back on hold making you clench your fist and raise it to the phone. your boyfriend asked you, "what's going on?" you swallowed back your frustration and explained, "the reservations jada and I have for our first hotel were cancelled or something because they're not showing up in my email or anything and i've been trying to sort it out for two days over email and nothing worked so now i'm calling and they don't have any representatives available. i told them i can use a spanish speaker but they cut me off and i just don't have time for this. i'm freaking out because we get back to monaco in two days and the guest room isn't ready and jada is flying in right after we get back. and on top of it i didn't remember to book a hair appointment while we were here so i'm gonna have to go on vacation with my natural hair- i'm gonna have to wear a swim cap in the ocean-" the minute that last realization dawned on you tears began to well in your eyes. you felt your stomach drop and your chest tighten as you were reminded of the many things you had to get done in a short time span. a heavy feeling of panic coursed through your veins in the most nauseating and unsettling way possible.
before you could even spiral further into a full blown anxiety attack lando cut you off, "hey hey take a deep breath. relax for me okay? don't get yourself worked up, we can fix this, yeah?" he held one of your socked feet in his hand, his thumb and pointer finger pressing into a specific spot on your foot out of routine habit. he asked you, "do you remember i had to put two of the reservations under my name?" when your brows furrowed he reminded you, "they were telling you that there weren't any rooms available so we called back later and they found a room for you and under my name." suddenly you did in fact remember that small detail from a year ago that slipped your mind the minute after it was handled. a soft, "oh....y'know after you said that it's now starting to ring some bells." an awkward laugh fell past your lips and you wiped the tear that only made it halfway down your cheek.
lando let his thumb rub circular motions into the pressure point on your foot as he continued, "baby, don't worry about your hair, we can find a stylist to do it before we leave even if you have to stay an extra day and fly back without me. when we get home i'll help you pack your bags so it can get done faster, okay? the guest room is ready because i set it up before we left because i knew you'd worry. everything will be fine, angel." you sniffled and mumbled through a pout, "thank you..." you slowed your breathing, thanking the gods above that your boyfriend was literally perfect.
right as you were about to thank lando, the representative on the phone ended the hold music. quickly you picked up the phone and rushed out, "hello? hola?" a woman now spoke on the other line, "buenos dĂas señora. me dijeron que creĂas que una de sus reservas habĂa sido cancelada sin su aprobaciĂłn, Âżes correcto?" you immediately switched from english and answered, "sĂ, me equivoquĂ©. mi esposo colocĂł la reserva a su nombre en lugar del mĂo cuando hicimos la reserva el año pasado. " "Good morning ma'am. They told me that you believed one of their bookings had been cancelled without their approval, is that correct?" // "Yes, I was wrong. My husband placed the reservation in his name instead of mine when we made the reservation last year."
lando's head shot up from his laptop when he heard the word "esposo". although his spanish vocabulary was extremely limited, he recognized a few words, and he knew for a fact that you just called him your husband. you pretended not to notice him staring at you as the representative responded, "entiendo que esto sucede muy a menudo con nuestros huĂ©spedes y sus cĂłnyuges." you lightly chuckled and replied, "sĂ, ÂĄespecialmente cuando la reserva se hizo hace tanto tiempo! pero, antes de colgar. ÂżpodrĂan confirmar la reserva si les digo el nombre de mi esposo?" I understand that this happens very often with our guests and their spouses. // yes, especially when the reservation was made so long ago! but, before hanging up. could you confirm the booking if I tell you my husband's name?
your boyfriend watched mesmerized as the foreign language fell effortlessly past your lips. studying in both high school and university left you with a high level of understanding to the point where you could speak well if you chose to...much to his dismay, you often refused because you were convinced you didn't "speak it right". in the back of your head you knew he'd remind you of this as a way to hear you speak spanish more often, even if he didn't understand much of it.
the representative asked in english, "what is the name?" you tried to hide the smug tone and grin as you responded clearly, "my husband's name is lando norris." your eyes remained glued on the pillow between your arms until you slowly dragged your gaze to meet his. that same look that made his whole body heat up with one simple stare, and if you hadn't lifted your head and smiled brightly things would have turned out much differently in that moment. the representative snapped him out of his thoughts when he happily confirmed that the reservation still stood before you hung up.
not even a second after your phone was off lando looked at you expectantly making you laugh. pretending not to notice anything you stood up and said, "i'm going to go call jada and tell her everything is fine." as you shuffled away lando stood up and looped his thumb gently through the strands of beads that sat between your waist and hips. you turned to face him and felt his warm hands against the small of your back, toying with the glass beads until he felt the one he claimed as his. you shyly asked, "why are you staring at me like that?"
your boyfriend asked, "your husband? you want to marry me?" you turned your head away to dodge his kisses and said playfully, "no i just said that so the guy would give me the information i wanted. it was a name drop and a tiktok trend, nothing more." lando slipped his hands from beneath your shirt and squeezed your side suddenly making you jump in surprise, "stop it that tickles!" he pushed you gently back to the sofa, not letting up and saying, "not until you admit that you actually love me." you tapped out on his back and caved not even ten seconds later, "fine! i love you now stop it i can't breathe!" instantly his hands were off of your stomach and grinned cheekily, "i love you too."

Summary:As a single mother of a six-year-old, you decide to move out after realizing that his father, Ari Levinson, simply didn't have you both as a priority. In the twists and turns of life, you meet Andy Barber but your job makes things complicated, especially when you work with his son and see his ex-wife several times.
If you like, I would be so grateful if you reblog or comments to interact ( I love to share your thoughts) Also, let me know if you wanna be tagged on every chapter to be remembered.
You arrived four months ago in that town. You were delighted, totally content with how nice people they could be, yet your greatest contact had been with other parents from Mason's school and no more than meetings you felt compelled to go to.
And it was definitely clear to you that the six-year-old was much more sociable than you, you could tell, but he had also helped you to be a little more open to others.
You worked as a psychologist, and you had an office in your house, which also allowed you to have the presence of Mason, who, fortunately for you, was also a calm kid. So, in a three-by-three room, you attended while a door separated you from Mason who used to watch TV.
One morning, ready to drop Mason off at school, you were surprised when the "captain" of the mothers' group interfered with you on your way to the car. You were startled, but seeing that there was no danger in her movement, you laughed and put your hand to your chest "Sorry to scare you" she spoke quickly.
"No, no, it's okay."
She nodded "Could I talk to you for a moment?" you looked at your watch, aware that the second patient of the day would be arriving in thirty minutes.
"Sure, tell me."
"You see... I'm Jacob Barber's mother."
You nodded with a smile "Nice to meet you, my son keeps saying he's a good friend" you remembered his name, Mason was talking about him. Laurie smiled sideways somewhat flattered, but you noticed the nervousness in her body. And there you noticed there was more to it than just an introduction. "How can I help you?"Â
"Umh, you'll see," she had begun to ramble on about it, and you waited patiently. After all, you were assessing people's behavior too. "I heard you're a psychologist" you nodded and she let out a sigh "you see, Jacob's father and I divorced a year ago, things have been complicated. I think he might, I don't know, he's changing, changed his attitude" you nodded sympathetically "I was wondering if you could, I don't know, attend to him".
"Yeah sure" you assured taking your phone from your pocket and giving her a reassuring smile "Want to schedule a day?"
She seemed to let out the air nodding "Yes please."
You paused and looked at her "Before that, in the case of children, I usually work the first session with both parents present."
"Oh yes, yes of course," she nodded quickly as if anything you could say would be in agreement. And you scheduled it for Friday afternoon.Â
Before you got home, you passed by the coffee shop you went to every day. You walked in and to your surprise, this time it wasn't quite as usual. "I'm telling you, Sam. Every afternoon I have her calling me for the slightest thing the kid does. Do you know how stressful that can be?" you walked up to the counter, seeing that man talking to the man on the other side of the counter. He had his coffee in his hands, but you saw how totally stressed he was as he scratched his chin with his free hand. You saw how his suit covered his shirt, but you were even more surprised by the way his chest was heavily marked with the shirt. "That he spends all day running, he's a kid! He's supposed to do that, let him get dirty if he wants to, I'd be worried if he didn't!"Â
You agreed with him, but just smiled at the older lady who approached already knowing you at your recurrence there "Hi honey, what can I help you with today?"Â
You saw the letter and fiddled with your mouth "I'll let you surprise me today" you assured and felt the silence come over the room. As you opened your wallet, you felt the voice of the man on the other side of the bar "You're five minutes late this time, girl, I thought you weren't coming today" you laughed, looking at him but you caught yourself in the gaze of both men. The younger one, the one with the coffee in his hand, must have circled in his early thirties and had been left with his gaze fixed on you. You gave him a friendly smile, but seeing how his light blue eyes were resting on you deeply.
"Yeah, work" you shrugged taking out the ticket "I hope that doesn't make you give me an ugly coffee, huh".
"The Italian is exquisite" the man's deep voice made you look at him. "It has cinnamon, and cream" he clarified shaking his head. You thought about it and nodded to look back at the woman who had not yet placed your order.
"So it can be an Italian one?"
"Sure sweetheart" she smiled as she turned to prepare the cappuccino.
"Have you forgotten about your ex-wife already, then Andy?" you sensed the older man's jest at the bar, emphasizing the name. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw him turn his head towards the man, opening his mouth slightly: "The day she stops blowing everything out of proportion with the kid, there will be peace" his voice was now gentler.Â
"Here honey, have a nice day" you smiled at the woman and your cheeks dimpled.Â
"Likewise" you shook your head waving to the three there to walk towards the door.
"What's her name?" you sensed the man's question, his voice totally relaxed, and you didn't avoid blushing but continued toward your vehicle.
By the time you parked at your house, you passed by the mailbox and sighed when you saw the letter: the one you hadn't opened but knew it said.
"Hey, you know, things aren't easy around here. I probably won't be able to come back to see Mason as I promised. Could you tell him I love him? I'll be back to see him in a few months. Thanks for letting me know you have moved. I'll come straight there as soon as I can.
I am truly sorry,
Ari."
You chuckled as you walked in and closed the door and felt the wad of bills in the envelope. He was an idiot, a real idiot. Four months ago you had written to him and only now you got a reply. He didn't even justify himself, knowing you weren't going to give a shit what he said anyway. Idiot. Idiot. It had been six months since he'd seen your son and you, and all you got was the money he sent monthly from his boss, rarely directly.Â
It had been about two years since you had officially broken up with him, but sometimes you think from the first moment you never went out: yes, the letters were very romantic, the sex on the way back was sweet, but things really weren't planned for you to get pregnant in the middle of your studies with 22 and the only support you had had was money. FUCKING IDIOT.Â
For the next two days, every time you walked into the cafeteria, he was there again. Andy. He didn't even introduce himself, but you could see his eyes on you like knives. This time, when you arrived, they served you coffee without waiting for you to ask.
"Surprise coffee, I like it" you nodded as you opened your wallet.
"No honey, it's already paid for" you saw her confused and quickly turned your gaze to the man, who made a smile and nodded.
"A mocha," he assured.
"Thank you very much, Andy" you shook your head with a slight smile, making it clear that you already knew his name. You watched as the two coffee shop owners isolated themselves from each other as if leaving an empty space. "For the recommendations and your coffee."
He nodded, and you could really see how he didn't usually do those things, but he didn't seem so self-conscious, or at least he was confident with the moves. And with what little you knew about him, you sensed it wasn't the first time he'd done it, but knowing he was divorced, you assumed it was some time ago.
"Just to be clear, it's not stalkerish of me, is it?" you raised an eyebrow and he laughed "I mean if it's not something just mine."
You nodded, positioning yourself in front of him to push aside the arriving customers. "You're not a stalker, nor is it any of your imagination."
"So I have a green pass?"
You grimaced "Just don't keep buying me coffee every day because I'm going to get used to it."
"Noted" he assured.
"I have to go, but... my pleasure" you nodded turning around with a smile, as he shook his head. And when your back was turned, you let out a breath as your cheeks turned pink.
...Â
You were in the living room, eating with Mason. "Mom, isn't Dad coming back?" you saw the six-year-old stop eating.
You grimaced "Your father is not in the country yet, and will be in a couple of months."
"What if he doesn't know where we are?"
"I sent him where we live now, honey. But you know how your father lives" the boy shrugged and you took his hand across the table. "Mason, in a little while your friend Jacob is coming" he widened his eyes but you clarified "however, he's coming to talk to me like other people. So, I need you to behave yourself. He's not coming to play games with you. If you want, one day we can talk to his parents to let him come."
"It's okay, Mom" by the time he finished his plate, you stood up and kissed your head before starting to gather the table, something the little guy helped with.Â
After that, while you were tidying up the room, you smiled as you heard the sound of records playing. You peeked out to see Mason kneeling as he placed the record on the turntable. You bit your lip as the music began to play, and inevitably you couldn't think of Ari: it was his turntable, he used them, and now, Mason seemed to have the power of them.
The doorbell rang and you looked at Mason, who looked at you quickly. You gave him a warning look and he turned the music down slightly, to the limit you had set for him every time you waited on someone. You nodded in agreement and adjusted your jacket and jeans to walk to the door.
Kiss me once. FUCK. Then, kiss me twice. SHIT.
You took a breath as you saw the three of them in front of you. "Hello, Miss Levinson" you opened your mouth slightly at Ari's last name spoken by Laurie.Â
You smiled, avoiding contact with Andy who seemed to fall into the same account "That's... not my last name "you clarified sympathetically and opened the door, running your hands over your jeans "Please, come in".
"Excuse me" spoke the woman.
"Hello, Mason" Jacob's voice passing in front of his mother, only made you look at Andy who opened his eyes at you. You cleared your throat closed the door and watched as Jacob hugged Mason. You approached the boy. The boy. That was the only priority you had. "Wow, what a cool thing to play music on" Jacob walked over to the record player. "This is what you told me is your dad's?"
Mason nodded "Yes, but he doesn't use it anymore."
You approached the children "Hi Jacob, how are you?" you introduced yourself and stretched out your hand, he kindly shook it. You smiled. You were professional. You just had to ignore Andy.Â
"I know who you are, you're Mason's mother" you nodded with a smile.Â
"How about joining me for a bit?" you asked holding out your hand.Â
"Can't I play with Mason?" asked the confused child.
"No honey, let's-"you looked up at Laurie, who was interrupted when Andy lightly bumped her elbow and shook his head at you. She rounded her eyes.
Andy. His complaint to the wife. Laurie overprotective. Divorce. S-H-I-T.
"First with me, then I'll let you play with Jacob for a bit" you assured and the boy took your hand, nodding. Andy looked at Mason, who was with his toy aware that he couldn't intervene in my work, no matter how much of a friend he was. "Please, parents, join me" you invited seeing Laurie and avoiding Andy's gaze.
"Sure" she assured, taking her purse in front of her and following you, Andy trailing behind. He closed the door when the four of them were left in the room.Â
"Jacob, do you mind if you sit in this chair?" the boy nodded as he did so, leaving the remoteness of his parents but in turn them sitting on the couch, keeping their distance. "Both can help themselves to tea or coffee" you offered pointing to the table in front of them, and nothing else.Â
In cases of children, you always evaluated the environment, the behavior of the parents, and not only the child: many times everything comes from the same root.
You walked to sit next to Jacob and looked at the clock, sitting in the chair across from Jacob, both of you at a table. You opened a notebook "Well, Jacob. I know who you are, but I don't really know much about you" you looked at the boy who was watching the whole room.
"Where is that?" he asked pointing to a painting. You turned to see the painting in the room.
"Jacob" Laurie spoke and your pencil went to the notebook. Andy asked her not to speak, you also went to the notebook. You didn't even look directly at the adults, you just went back to the child.
"That's in Ethiopia, Africa. Pretty far from here."
The boy opened his mouth, nodding "Mason told me his dad is in Africa, did you go?"
"No, I never have, would you like to go?"
"It looks like a very nice place" he nodded.
"What do you like most about that image?"
"That sea" he pointed out and you exchanged your gaze between the little boy and the image. It was usual for people to focus on it, for some reason, there was something special that you didn't end up discovering but you could always take advantage of that.
"It's a river, but it looks endless, don't you think?" he nodded "Well, that's a very important river. Maybe someday I can tell you the story" and even though he nodded again, he didn't take his eyes off the picture. Mason used to do that. When the office was empty, he would lie down on the couch and look at the picture just to remember his father.Â
"Your job makes you a good person, but a shitty father, Ari"Â you smiled slightly at the somewhat painful memory.
"So, Jacob...how are you doing in school?"
Forty minutes, and what you were sure of was that this child had no communication problem whatsoever. But you also noticed Laurie's constant intervention, no matter how much Andy asked her to be quiet. And he... he had his eyes on you every time you talked to the boy.
"What are you doing this weekend, Jacob?" you asked passing another written sheet from your notebook.
"Dad said he's taking me to eat at a place that sells lots of burgers and fries, and we're going to a park."
"Nothing too healthy, clearly" laughed Laurie looking at you, but you really didn't see her for more than two seconds without wiping your smile.Â
"Please, that's enough" Andy asked wearily. "Stop commenting on everything."
"I'm not doing anything, Andy."
You watched as Jacob wrinkled his nose, following through with a drawing you had asked him to do: specifically the family. "Excuse me, could you step outside for a moment?" you saw them both, totally surprised by your request.Â
"Sure" nodded Andy opening the door and letting Laurie go through first.
As the door closed, you looked at Jacob "I'm going to grab my cell phone for a second while you finish that drawing" you quickly opened the cameras to see as Mason sat gathering, as the two adults stood in the doorway, talking to each other, clearly you didn't expect it to be in peace. "Now, tell me, Jacob, do your parents always grumble with each other?"
The boy shook his head "Not so much now because daddy doesn't live at home anymore. It's okay that, he told me that things are going to be calmer for me and that love doesn't change, it just makes it easier. That it's divorce stuff."
"And do you know what a divorce is?"
"Dad told me it's like a puzzle, that little by little you put the pieces together" you frowned but nodded, encouraging him to talk "It's like it's your favorite puzzle, that you want weapons very badly, and that you put pieces together little by little, and that the divorce is like a piece of the puzzle that doesn't fit. It's not that the whole puzzle is wrong, it's just that the piece is from another puzzle and that we don't have to make it fit because otherwise, we might break other pieces, but just take it out of the puzzle."Â
You twisted your head, thinking about that "So...you'd be a piece of that puzzle?"
"Dad says I'm the most important, and that although he loves Mom, she's just not part of his puzzle, just as Mom is with Dad."
"And tell you something really crazy?" he nodded. "You have your own puzzle, and your parents are two different pieces that are very important to you."
"But they always end up fighting."
"Yeah but... some pieces are a little bit hard to get to come together. Like sometimes they swell up or they're a little bit worn. But that they are from the puzzle. And what your dad told you is valid, but that doesn't mean that they're not in your puzzle."
He nodded and moved his mouth slightly "So it's okay that they don't love each other anymore?"
"I'm not saying they don't love each other. I think they do, but they are adults and everyone has their own puzzle."
Jacob laughed and you looked at him "Like mint mousse ice cream. Iugh" he shook his head and you laughed at that.
"I never tried it."
"Don't do it" you smiled at the child.Â
On the other side of the door, Andy stood with one hand on his head "Laurie, stay quiet" he asked, watching the woman walk in circles. However, every now and then he would glance at the foreign child.
"What if he has something?"
"Laurie, there's a boy up ahead" spoke Any looking at the boy, who was humming a new song as he painted, lying on the floor.
"Yes, exactly, Andy" Laurie approached Andy almost in a whisper "Look at him, he's still. Our son can't do it."
Andy took a breath rubbing his eyes. "You're unbelieve" the door opened and they both turned their heads, watching Jacob happily walk out with a cookie.Â
"Jacob agreed to stay here for a bit with Mason while you guys went in."
And when they both sat back down, you arranged the pencils Jacob had used. You were really watching the patience of both of them: Laurie was shaking her knee and Andy was holding his hand to his face, tired of her it seemed. You also noticed how he was still in his office clothes.
You exchanged a glance with him, and all you saw was a pity. You made a slight comforting smile as he sat you down across from them.
"Well, I can tell you that Jacob is a good kid. He is healthy, has an amazing mind, and is extremely intelligent" Andy looked at you, making an obvious expression but you looked at Laurie, who was waiting for you to continue. You denied "I can't really make any diagnosis to a child from sitting in front of him for 1 hour because it wouldn't be fair. If I can tell you that he doesn't present anything that should alarm anyone."Â
"So he doesn't have anything? What do you call that thing that..." she snapped her fingers and you looked at her sympathetically: "Adhd" she nodded at your words and you denied "Again, I can't give you the diagnosis of life through sixty minutes, but he doesn't present any symptoms either. He's a child, they all express themselves differently."
"Ready, don't look for anything more from Jacob, please" requested Andy "He's a boy."
"However" your words caught both of them "yes you should work on home, family environments, the dealings between you" both looked at each other "Work together when it comes to Jacob, on par, and avoid friction in front of him."
"So that would be it?" you looked at Andy who was confused. It really seemed more attractive to you to see him as a father, but you had to erase that from your head.
"Well, I'm a psychologist, which implies that my diagnoses or anything that comes out of me require a process. It's never wrong to carry a therapeutic balance at any stage, but that's if you think it's necessary or you want that."
"But is it for something?" you looked at Laurie and her nervous profile only made you remember Andy's words.Â
"The question is not that, Laurie. The question would be whether we want her to accompany Jacob through the process of our divorce."
"But we're already divorced" this one blurted out and Andy opened his mouth, throwing himself backward on the couch and looked at you denying it, making it clear he was over it.
"Sure, but it's still a process of change towards the child."
"Could that help you at all now?" asked Laurie.
"Well, I'm not saying you need it but it can provide balance."
Laurie attacked with questions and you just wiggled your eyebrows, trying to hold it all in. Andy sat back down, resting his hands on his legs and taking a breath, interrupting her, "Laurie, Laurie, please, listen for a second" he asked and the woman looked at him "Are you more at ease bringing Jacob here? We're bringing him. There's nothing wrong with him, but stop looking for things. We'll just bring him in so the boy can express himself to her in case something happens."
"I think that would be good" nodded this one and Andy nodded, relieved to come to an agreement.Â
"Is that okay?"Â
You nodded "It's your decision. If you want we can set a weekly or bi-weekly time, whichever you prefer."
"Weekly" assured Andy "Can it be Fridays at this time?"
"Sure" you nodded, jotting in the notebook.
"And the payment?" the question from Laurie made you nod, taking one of the cards that contained the account number. Andy was the one who took it and nodded.
"Upon arrival I'll make sure the transfer arrives" you nodded, watching as they both stood up. Laurie reached out her hand and you squeezed it, then did the same for Andy. His squeeze was sincere and you just gave him a look to end the tingling in your stomach.
"Please go ahead" as you walked out into the living room, you saw Mason showing a photo album to Jacob. The children turned around.Â
"Mom, someday can we invite Jacob home?"
"Sure, but you'd have to organize something ahead of time and only if his parents let him."
"Of course" nodded Andy as Jacob walked over to him. The older one put his hand on the boy's head, who was laughing with Mason.Â
"Again, thank you very much."
"You are welcome. On the card is my contact also for anything" you watched as Mason and Jacob now hugged, as Laurie and Andy walked out the door. Laurie started walking and Andy seemed to wait for his son to come.Â
"Hey I-" Andy's murmur made you look at him, you closed your eyes slightly denying "Thanks. That is" you saw him waiting for Jacob.
"Jacob, come on" Laurie's shout sounded from the other side.
Andy took a breath and looked at you " I want you to know that my idea didn't change" he whispered and Jacob ran to him.
You nodded"A pleasure, Mr. Barber" you closed the door, letting out a long sigh.
SHIT.
Scooby and Dean share a sandwich đ„Șđ«¶
pairing: Charles Leclerc x Lando Norris x femalereader
summary: Charles, Lando and you and unbreakable Trio but what happens when you find out that they both have feeling for you.
warnings: /
(a/n): English is not my native language so this may contain consistency errors, i would really appreciate the corrections but please, be kind. feedback is also appreciated âĄ
It all started because of a stupid interview you had with an mega hyped motorsport podcast.
One of them asked you âSo Y/n we all know that due to your job as an f1 journalist you are really close to the whole grid. But our listeners would probably like it if you would share who your fav isâ
You chuckled at the question, knowing that this question has just one logical answer.
âOh I could never choose one. I like them all really, they all have different personalities and I really enjoy spending time with themâ you said politely.
The podcaster just looked at you and smirked, knowing that they had some proof which 2 drivers you are definitely more around.
âOh really we have seen you many times around with Charles and Lando. These two are definitely up on your list right? They have also shared that they enjoy having you around or during post race interviews with you.â You laughed at their statement. âReally they said that? Wow I feel so special. Yes ok fine, Lando and Charles are definitely up thereâ you had to keep your big smile back thinking about them.
In reality Lando, Charles and you were extremely close. You 3 had your own post race traditions and made movies nights after each qualifying.
You liked hanging out with them you would even describe them as your best friends on the grid.
What you didnât know was that Charles and Lando werenât actually that close and played friends in front of you. Both being lovesick idiots for you. They both were desperate for your attention. Lando did not hate Charles but he despised the fact that Charles could be a perfect match for you.
Charles thought that Lando would be a good friend for you but he was too childish for you. Charles was convinced that he was the man you wanted.
- present -
You were sitting in Landonâs driver room because he wanted you to wait for him there after practice 1 ended. You scrolled through your phone and read some comments about your interview in the hyped motorsport podcast. Some people shipped you with Lando some said that you and Charles were definitely an endgame. You shook your head with a smile on your face. âWho got you smiling like that darlingâ a male voice said.
âGod Lan you scared meâ Lando chuckled at your words. âYou didnât answered my questionâ he started walking towards you and sat next to you on his couch. He took your phone knowing that you trusted him and he could see what got you smiling. You watched his face and analyzed his reaction.
â I think they are rightâ he suddenly said and turned his head to look at you. âAbout what part? Shipping me and you or that Charles and I would be the perfect endgameâ you teased him.
Landos eyes got smaller, jealousy started growing in him. âDonât do thatâ you looked into his eyes. They looked like tears were forming. Did that made Lando emotional? His lips were in a tight line. He didnât dared to speak out his thoughts. I like you y/n please donât choose Charles.
You started deep in his eyes. Suddenly the room was filled with tension and hot air. You could feel the need to kiss him. Fuck no that wasnât right, he was your best friend right?
You could answer your thoughts because in the next moment your phone vibrated.
âYesâ you picked it up still havenât stopped the eye contact.
âY/n itâs Charles where are you I have to see you mon amourâ the monegasque said.
Landos eyes filled with more sadness but instead of saying anything he took your phone and answered Charles for you.
âYo itâs Lan we will be there in a minute ok byeâ and with that he ended the call. âThat wasnât very nice Lanâ you laughed. âWho said I have to be nice all the timeâ
After 5 minutes you found Charles. He tried to overplay the feeling of jealousy that he felt every time when he saw you alone with Lando. âHey Charlieâ you said and hugged him. Charles and Landos eyes met during the hug. Charles smirked knowing that you were the only one that gave Charles that nickname. Landos blood boiled and his face couldnât cover that he didnât liked Charles hands on you.
But somehow you were always the only one who didnât seem to see the behavior of both boys.
After the hug you 3 went to the cafeteria and ate some post race day snacks. Of course the boys choose something more healthier that fitted into their diet.
âI will use the restroom for a second if youâd excuse meâ you said and left the boys alone.
âDid you have a great time with her in your driver room?â Charles asked with a raspy voice. Lando laughed because he nodded with a smirk on his face. âYou know little Lando in the end it will always be meâ Charles said confidently.
âAnd why would you think thatâ Lando laid back into his chair. âBecause she already chose meâ Charles said and emptied his drink.
âDid she?â
