Can I Help You? [Lando Norris]

Chapter 4

~friday evening~
'Dad?' I ask my dad while having dinner. My mom is at work and Fernando is at his girlfriend. 'Whats wrong sweetie?' He asks friendly. 'What do you feel when ur in love?' I always talk to my dad about this sort of things, I'm really a father child. 'Ehm... when u think about someone all the time, when u like them and yeah, I think u will feel it when you're in love.' He says nice. 'Okay.' I continue eating. 'Why?' My dad asks after a minute. I raise my eyebrows. 'What?' 'Why did u ask what it feels like to be in love.' I get kinda nervous. 'Just wanted to know.' I say quickly. 'Come on Rose, I can see when u lie.' He says. I feel kinda guilty. 'Ehm... I met a boy.' I get interrupted, my phone buzzes. 'Who's that.' My dad asks. 'Its him.' I stand up and accept the facetime call.

'Hey!' Lando says with a cute smile on his face. 'Hi.' I smile at him. 'How was school.' He asks. Lando falls on his stomach at his bed. 'Boring.' I say chuckling. 'Understandable, can I come over or?' I stay quiet for a while. 'So ehmm, I kinda told my dad I met a guy, but he doesn't know its you, so I'm gonna tell that first, after that I'll call u, okay?' I say. He nods. 'Yeah sure.' 'Talk to you.' I say. Lando waves and end the call. I walk back to the kitchen.

'So who is this boy.' My dad asks grinning. 'Please don't freak out, and please don't tell mom or Fernando.' I say raising my eyebrows. 'Yeah, right.' 'Ehm... his name is Lando.' I stay quiet for a while. 'Lando Norris, and he is really nice.' My dad eyes get wide open. 'No way!' He says with a big smile on his face. 'Dad what did I say!' I say. "Oh yeah, sorry. - so u like him?' My dad asks. 'I don't know.' I stare at my food. 'But he asked if he could come over, so can he?' I ask nervous. 'Yeah sure.' I take a deep breath and relieve. 'Okay than, I'm gonna call him.' I put my plate in the dishwasher and get to my room. I sit down on my bed and call Lando.
'See you in...' '20.' Lando says 'okay than, see you.' I end the call and walk downstairs. 'He will be here in 20, and reminder don't tell mom or Fernando please.' I say to my dad. He smiles. 'Your secret is safe here.' I run upstairs and quickly clean my room. I put all the dirty clothes in the bin and put my books in my desk.
The doorbell rings when I'm done. I run upstairs and open the door. 'Hey!' Lando smiles and gives me a hug. 'Hi, okay warning, my dad may be freak out.' Lando laughs. 'Its okay, happens a lot.' he hangs up his coat and we walk into the living room. 'So... here he is.' My dad turns around and smiles proud. 'Nice to meet you mister di Bianchi.' Lando says friendly and shakes my dads hand. 'Nice to meet you to Lando.' Please don't let this get awkward. Lando and I sit down on the couch and my dad on a chair across us. 'So Formula 1 is ur thing?' My dad asks. Lando giggles. 'Yeah, really like it.' He answers. I stays quiet for a while 'U want something to drink?' I ask. 'Yes please, some water is good.' I get up. 'Dad what do u want?' I ask. 'Also a water please.' I walk to the kitchen.

When I'm back with some water and biscuits my dad and Lando are laughing with each other. 'Whats that funny?' I ask and put down the glasses. 'Male stuff.' My dad says. I sit down next to Lando. My dad phone rings.

'I need to go, I have a business meeting in London, I'll be home tomorrow evening, so u will be all alone tonight, because Fernando is at Emy, okay?' He says when he walks back in. 'Yeah sure no problem.' I give my dad a hug. He walks upstairs to pack his bag and after a few minutes he leaves the house.

'So...' Lando says, I turn back to him. He steps a bit closer and looks me in the eyes. He is such a cutie, and handsome, and nice and.... okay yeah enough, back to reality. 'What are we gonna do?' He asks with a grin on his face. He grabs my hand. I giggle. 'Movie?' I raise my eyebrows. 'Not what I expected, but it sounds pretty good.' He says. I sit down on the couch again and grab the remote. 'What are we gonna watch?' I ask. Lando sits next to me. He sights. 'I actually don't want to watch a movie, maybe we should go for a walk.' He says. I chuckle. 'U need to learn to make choices in ur life mister Norris.' He laughs. I stand up and grab my shoes. 

'So how are u doing?' Lando asks when we walk down the street. 'Hmm Okay...' I say sighting. Lando knows I'm not doing well lately, cuz my last boyfriend died. Next week its 2 years ago and I just keep thinking about him. And especially now, when dating an other guy. Lando slows his walk and grabs my hand. We sit down on a bench. 'Rose, how are u really doing?' He asks. I stare at the tree behind him. I just can't look into his eyes. Every time I look him in the eyes it remembers me of Mason. 'I... I really don't know.' I start crying. Lando wraps his hand around me and puts my head against his chest. 'I understand.' I'm happy he doesn't keep asking things, I don't want to talk about Mason or my parents. We stay quiet for a few minutes. 'Wanna get Ice Cream?' Lando says. 'I know an amazing place where they have the best Italian Ice Cream.' Lando says excited. He somethings really act like a child, how excited can u be to get Ice Cream. I nod. 'Yeah sounds good.' We stand up. Lando looks me in the eyes. I see a sparkle in them, what makes me trust him.

'That will be £3 please.' I grab my wallet to pay. 'Thank u.' The man says. I look up weird. Lando smiles at me and shows his card.

I look at Lando, he is just eating his ice cream. He looks at me. I grab his hand and pushes his ice cream in his face. 'Rose!' He shouts. I start laughing. 'There is ice cream all over your face.' I chuckle. Lando whipes on his cheek. 'Its gone now?' I shake my head. 'I'll do it.' I grab a napkin and whipe the icecream. 'Its everywhere.' I bite my lip. Lando stares into my eyes. I kinda get shy. Before I even notice there are 2 soft lips on mine. Lando gently grabs my face. He puts his forehead against mine. 'I wanted to do this for a long time.' He says. I chuckle. Lando gives me a little kiss.

'U can stay here if u want.' I say before Lando leaves. He raises his eyebrows. 'Are u sure?' I nod. 'I have a couch in my room where u can sleep.' He smiles. 'Okay then.'

'Goodnight.' I say when I put out the light. I turn to the couch. 'Goodnight.' Lando says. I hear him jawning.

It's 2am and I still didn't sleep. The only thing I can think about is Mason and the divorce of my parents. Those thoughts keep traveling trough my head. Tear well up in my eyes. 'My parents don't love each other, they will never come back together.' I start crying. After a few minutes I feel that my blanket gets lift up. Lando lays down next to me. 'Are u okay?' I hear how caring he is in his voice. I shake my head and turn to him. Lando hugs me tights. My head is against his chest. His heart is beating slow. 'It will be okay.' He presses a kiss on my hair. I feel horrible. 'It will be okay.' Lando repeats this sentence. I look at him. His eyes are filled with tears. 'Why are u crying?' I ask. He giggles. 'I'm a really sensitive person, if someone has to cry I'll cry to.' I chuckle. Its stupid, I'm in bed with a guy, I know for about 2 weeks, crying with him, I trust him, he feels special. Lando gives me a kiss on my forehead. 'Are u okay now?' I nod. 'Kinda.' He lifts up the blanket and gets out of bed. I grab his hand. Lando turns around. 'Can u stay here?' I say in a soft, shy voice. He smiles. 'Of course.' Lando lays down next to me again.
