You! (Lando Norris)

Seven

They had a lovely time with Lando's family and were now on their way to the airport for the first race weekend of the season. Lando luckily didn't have to go to the testing in Bahrain the week before so it meant they could go on the long plane ride together.

The flight was the longest 6 hours of Lottie's life. She was thankful for the space in first class, but hated sitting for such a long time. Lando slept most of the way and she was able to finish a full book.

As they touched down in Bahrain, walking through the terminal to collect the bags, Lando kept Lottie close. He knew that reporters could possibly be there, taking photos and he worried that Lottie would get overwhelmed and want to go home. He wanted to protect her. The baggage collection were uneventful, a few flashes of cameras but Lottie was unfazed. She was just happy to be off the plane and able to stretch her legs.
On the way out of the baggage collection, Lando could see a sign with his name on. He was informed previously someone from the team would be meeting them to collect them and take them to the hotel. The young couple head over to the man holding the sign, standing in a McLaren shirt.
"Lando, good to see you again" The tall blonde haired man in a McLaren shirt shaking Lando's hand. "Good to see you again too Lottie, glad to have you with us this season" He leans in to give Lottie a quick hug.
"Good to see you again mate" Lando smiles before taking Lottie's suitcase.
"Nice to see you again Dale" Lottie smiles at him. Dale grabs Lottie's suitcase from Lando and leads us out to the car that was waiting. Flashes from photographers kept catching Lottie's eye. The fans and reporters loved getting pictures of the F1 drivers and their partners. Lottie was trying to remain positive and knew she would have to get used to it. After all she was Lando's girlfriend but also since Kelly announced on Instagram yesterday that Lottie would be working closely with her this season.
A short drive from the airport and they arrived at a beautiful hotel not far from the track. Fans were standing waiting outside to get some form of interaction from Lando and the other drivers staying in the hotel.

"Lando, over here"
"Lando"
"Lottie"
The fans shouted as they got out of the car. Lando smiled and waved at them whilst grabbing the bags out of the car. Dale helped to grab Lottie's.
"I'll grab your bag, go sign some pictures" Lottie smiles at Lando ushering for him to go to the fans waiting. He smiles at her before heading off to the fans. He can't help but admire just how supportive she was and how thankful the fans would be thankful for the interaction. He starts to sign pictures, take photos and talk to people as he signed various items.
Lottie loved watching the interaction Lando had with the fans and just how much they all loved and adored him.
Dale grabs Lando's case and lets Lottie wheel her own, following Dale behind through the crowds.
"Lottie, can I have a picture?" She hears, turning to see a sweet young girl smiling at her. Lottie heads over in her direction to have the photo taken.
"Of course you can" She smiles at her and then poses for the selfie the young girl is taking. Fans around them watching the interaction between the young girls.
"Thank you so much. I'm such a fan. Could you sign this for me?" She hands Lottie a McLaren hat sporting the number 4. Lottie was slightly taken aback that the girl would want her to sign it. Surely she would ask Lando and Danny to sign the hat, not Lottie, but she honours her request and signs it for her. This made Lottie relax a little that she experienced such a kind encounter with a fan. Lando looks back to see where Lottie is and notices the interaction, unsure if it's something sinister his need to protect kicks in and heads over to check on her.
"There you go. Be sure to tag me in the photo on Instagram so I can look at it please" Lottie smiles at her as she goes to hand the hat back.
"Of course I will thank you" The girl notices Lando now standing at the side of Lottie " Omg Lando, can you sign my hat?" She hands over the hat and pen and Lando signs it for her. "Thank you so much" She smiles at the signatures on her hat. Lando, relieved that the encounter was kind, now places his hand on Lottie's lower back ready to head into the hotel to relax after such a long day.  He leads Lottie into the safety of the hotel lobby, looking back to smile at fans as he heads in.
"That was lovely of that girl wasn't it, for her to want me to sign that hat?" She looks at Lando as they head through the grand doors, to Dale who is standing in the middle of the huge lobby with Lando's suitcase.
"Yeah it was, I was coming to check you were ok but then I heard her say how much of a fan she was." Lando is happy that Lottie is happy, he's thankful that the fans had made the first encounter of the season a good one and hoped the rest would all be like that.
"Your hotel room is 613, here's the key. I'll see you in the morning to take you to the track." Dale hands the room keys to them.
"Thanks Dale, appreciate it mate" Lando grabs the suitcase and follows Lottie to the lifts.
When she steps out the lift, she is looking down not paying attention as to where she is going when she bumps into someone.
"Oh I'm sorr...Danny" Daniel Ricciardo looks down at her and smiles, he was taller than Lottie.
"Lottie, so good to see you" He steps back out of her way and then pulls her in for a quick hug so Lando can get out the lift.
"Hey mate" Lando shakes Danny's hand.
"Good to see you Danny, ready for tomorrow?" Lottie smiles at him, happy to see another familiar face.
"Yes. it's good that you are here this season, you might actually see this guy win a race" He pokes Lando playfully in the tummy. Lottie can't help but laugh at how childish they are. She was thankful that Lando had someone like Danny as a team mate as he was supportive and obviously had years of experience in F1.
"We'll see" Lando smiles back, rubbing his tummy where Danny had just poked.
"Well I've got to go, I'm off to meet up with George. Text you later?" Before Lando could respond Dan had already walked off.

The couple head down the dimly lit hallway and finally locate the room and head in. It was a huge room with a big super king bed in the middle, a table near the window. The bathroom was huge too, with a nice big bath. Lottie could get used to staying in places like this, there was so many places in the season she had not yet visited. It finally hit her that she would be travelling to those places with the one she loved. 
Lando throws himself down on the bed and lets out a loud yawn. Lottie takes the opportunity to straddle on top of him.
"This is comfy" she smiles down at him.
"You could say that again" Lando sarcastically responds and rolls his eyes. As much as he loved Lottie and how much he would love to rip her clothes off, he was far too tired and just didn't have the energy.
"Don't be rude," she scoffs before jumping off of him, leaving him laid on the bed.
"Shall we do room service and a film, I'm so tired" He leans his head back and closes his eyes.
"Sure. I'm going to go shower if you want to order food and decide on a film" She mumbles as she heads to the bathroom.
"Sure" Lando grumbles as he lays properly on the bed.
The water trickling down on Lottie's face was amazing. The long flight was clammy and warm not to mention the heat in Bahrain. She climbed out the shower and wrapped the towel round her wet body. Carefully opening her toiletry bag hoping nothing had been broken in transit. The moisturiser soaking nicely in to her skin and the scent of her perfume filling the bathroom.
Lottie heads out to the bedroom wrapped in her towel to her suitcase, to grab some clothes. She grabs out a baggy guns n roses tee and a pair of soft cotton shorts.
"Babe, did you deci..." Lottie could hear soft snoring coming from the bed. She turns to see Lando had taken his clothes off and had fallen asleep sitting up in bed. She loved how cute he looked when he was asleep, his soft curls flowing on his forehead, the little pout his lips do and how his chest softly moves up and down with his breathing. She quietly makes her way across to his side of the bed. She quietly bends down and places a kiss on his lips. Lottie wasn't tired yet and didn't want to wake Lando, he looked too peaceful to disturb. So she grabs her book from her bag and heads out the room to the balcony, trying to not make any noise. The patio doors close and she can feel the night air cooling down to give a nice cooling breeze.
If you had of told her a couple of months ago that she would be travelling the world with the love of her life, whilst still doing something she loved, she would of called you crazy.  If you had told her this as a child, she would have not believed any of it. She had come so far as a person, she found a passion in life, fashion was like a drug. She sits back on the rattan chair with her legs curled up to her chest, she was truly grateful for this experience and for Lando. He'd shown her a kind of love that she never experienced before. Yes she had the love of her foster Mum, Lily and the recent love of Lando's family but that was different to the love he gave her and how he would make her feel.
She opens up the book and begins to read, occasionally looking out to the view of Bahrain.

Lando wakes up an hour later to see the bed at the side of him empty, he heads to the bathroom to see if Lottie is in there but she's not. As he heads to grab his bag off the table, he notices Lottie curled up in a ball, asleep and the book she is reading resting on her chest. He quietly heads out to the balcony and looks at his girlfriend, so peaceful. He was so grateful she was here and knew this season was going to be his best yet.
Lottie wakes up in Lando's arms, carrying her to the bedroom.
"Did I fall asleep?" She tiredly mumbles to a smiling Lando, looking down at her.
"Yeah, you looked too peaceful to wake up" He gently places her down on the bed and she watches as he runs round to jump into his side of the bed. Lottie cuddles into his chest and he places an arm around her.
"I can't wait to see you race this weekend Lan, I still remember your first race" He places a kiss on her forehead as she looks up into his eyes.
"I'm glad I get to have you with me all season, I hate when we're apart"

He sits stroking her arm and she falls asleep peacefully cuddled up to her love.
