✨Part-20✨

🏎💨

It was April, the Formula one season was in full swing. Lando barely had any time, Claire didn't complain either her professors were not holding back with workload either. She was now well into the second trimester of Pregnancy, the bump was now very visible.

She continued wearing clothes that weren't form fitting and acted indifferent, even at times her back ache was unbearable. The weekend was finally here, she could sit back, do her assignments and watch Lando race.

She had heard that apparently he was on his A game this season, she didn't understand much but she could see that he was pretty quick. He sent her a reminder that it was saturday, she should watch his qualifying stint.

You: what are you up to?

Lando: nothing, I'm just relaxing in my room right now

You: okay so it's not that important but I wanted to tell you something

Lando: tell me

You: Doctor Patel ran some tests and on Monday, around this time we'll know what the gender of our little worm is!

Lando: little worm? Claire, that's our baby.

You: and I want to nickname our baby Little Worm!

Lando: I haven't seen you in a month, apparently you're big and pregnant now

You: ... I am. Go drive your stupid fast car.

Lando: is that a rude good luck? I'll take it

He winced thinking about the message, maybe he went too far. He couldn't think too much about it, he had a stupid fast car to drive. He headed back to the garage with Jon, a blonde girl was standing in the visitor's area. For a second he thought it was Claire and walked towards her with a big smile.

"Claire! You're here, In Azerbaijan!" He beamed.

"Excuse me?" The blonde turned around.

"Oh." Lando sighed.

It wasn't her, she was just a guest. Who happened to remind him of her, Jon pulled him aside and gave him his things. It was time to boot up and hop into the car. The girl wished him good luck and waved at him, Lando awkwardly smiled and thanked her.

Another person was watching this at home, probably just as confused and weirded out. She wondered who this girl was and why Lando was so happy to see her, I mean she was pretty. couldn't blame him for being happy.

With qualifying underway, Claire still couldn't stop thinking about the blonde girl. It didn't help the director panned the camera at her every once in a while. Claire decided to hop onto F1 instagram hoping to find some answers, and fanpages did come in clutch.

Valentina Novikova, she was an Instagram model from Russia. Claire spent pretty much the entire of qualifying stalking her profile, she was gorgeous.

Claire didn't know if she should be threatened or attracted to her, either way, Valentina was right now in Lando's garage. All cozy, while she was sitting on a couch, with a half written assignment in her hands.

Rumours were already flying around, many linking her to the photos that were actually of Claire and Lando. Some even went around saying that they had seen Valentina and Lando in London.

Was she the "other people" Lando wanted to see? But he said that he didn't want to see other people! Who was she and what was she doing there?

Claire was getting really frustrated really fast, she switched off the TV and went back to trying to finish her assignment.

Her phone started ringing, it was Sonya. She felt relieved that she finally had someone to talk to.

"Helloooo! What are you up to Claire?"

"Nothing, just finishing up an assignment." She sighed.

"Aren't you watching him race?"

"I did watch a bit of qualifying but then I went down a stupid spiral and I don't want to watch the last stint." She admitted.

"What happened?"

"There's another girl in his garage."

"She's probably one of the engineers or staff members."

"She was standing in his garage, as a visitor."

"Oh."

"And people are assuming that the girl in all those photos, who is actually me is her, Valentina."

"You managed to find all of that in an hour?"

"Yeah, I did. He looked so happy with her. He's going to abandon me-"

"Did he ever say that to you?"

"No he didn't but why else would he bring up the other people discussion?"

"Because it was an important discussion!"

"Yeah, but still I want to be able to not rely on other people. Especially not him, he's young, he's handsome and he's sweet."

"Where are you going with this discussion?" Sonya laughed.

"I can't depend on him, I need to do things on my own. He wants to see other people, he's not going to be there for me." Claire gulped.

Her own words were hurting her at this point, she was already thinking about what she was going to do next. She poured her heart out to Sonya, who just heard her patiently.

She was going to stop interacting with Lando as much as she did, she was going to call up Charlotte and thank her for all the help. She was going to finish her semester next month, she was going to book a flight back home.

Her parents would freak out but accept her any way, she'd try transferring to a university for her final year. If that didn't work, she would pick up a job somewhere and raise her baby with her parents.

"Slow down! Is that really what you want?"

"At least if I go back, I won't be depending on anyone but the people I'm allowed to depend on."

"Claire, I think you're skipping a lot of steps! Talk to him, understand his perspective and then make decisions. You don't want to make life unnecessarily hard for yourself!"

"He follows Valentina on Instagram and liked a lot of her posts, of course he's liked her at some point."

"You are being irrational!"

"I'm not Sonz, I've thought of everything."

"This exactly what finals week approaching Claire sounded like, all over the place, saying the craziest shit because she's stressed from all the studying."

"I have a month! Until my finals and no, I'm very seriously considering my idea."

"I suggest you drop it for now. It's not the best, focus on yourself and your baby-"

"Little Worm. I've named my baby little worm, that reminds me! Gender reveal on Monday!"

"That's great! What are you hoping for?"

"I just want it to be a healthy baby, I feel bad for all the stress I'm putting little worm through." She sniffled.

"I wish I could give you hugs Claire! You're going to be a great mom to little worm!"
