LANDO's POV:
We walk into the paddock hand in hand. This is going to be something else. She looks nervous so I squeeze her hand gently. "It will be ok. Don't worry baby" I say kissing her cheek. She nods and we walk through the paddock, cameras flashing at us. I see Zak and Annabelle stood arms crossed facing us. Here we go.
"Lando. Mabel. We need a word" Annabelle says directing us into a room. We follow them. As we get in, they take a seat and I sit beside Mabel my arms draped across her shoulder. "We had a deal. This wasn't it" Zak says fuming. "Zak. I appreciate you don't want us together. But I love Mabel. And she loves me. And we're prepared to stop racing for both teams to stay together" I say leaning back in my chair. Annabelle's mouth drops, "No we can't lose you both as drivers" she says shaking her head. "Then that's what's going to happen, if you don't let us be together." Mabel says leaning on the table. I smirk at her. She's always been strong willed. "Mabel seriously, I promise you it's not good for you both" Annabelle says shaking her head. Zak looks furious. I don't care. "Well it's what's happening. If you both don't like it. We will walk out today. And not come back." Mabel says glaring. Zak and Annabelle exchange looks.
"So what's the conclusion?" I ask intertwining my hand with Mabel's. She looks to me and smiles. "You're both in love?" Zak asks. "More than I've ever been before" I say kissing Mabel's cheek. She flares up in a blush. Annabelle sighs and looks to Zak. He nods slowly. "Fine." He says. Me and Mabel exchange looks shocked. "Seriously?" I ask beaming. "Seriously. If you're both happy. And no more damage to the cars. Then fine." Annabelle says folding her arms. "Thank you" Mabel shouts running to the other side of the table and hugging them both. Zak chuckles and I swear I see a smile on Annabelle's lips. "Thank you guys so much" I say standing up to shake their hands. "Come over here" Zak says. I walk over and hug Zak, "You don't understand what this means to me" I say. He nods. "Come here" I say going to Annabelle and hugging her. She laughs now.
"Any problems and you two are in trouble" Annabelle says laughing. "There won't be!" Mabel says hugging me. "Hey" I say turning to face her and wrapping her up in my arms. She giggles and I kiss her softly. "Now go before we change our minds" Zak says chuckling. I take Mabel's hand in mine and we walk out. It's supposed to be media today, but I need to get ready. "See you in a bit hm?" I say kissing the side of Mabel's head. "Yeah yeah, I've got an interview to do and I'll come grab you" she says before walking off.

"You smell nice, what aftershave is that?" The lady styling my hair says. I smile and shake my head, "Oh my bad you can't say can you" she says laughing. I chuckle and hear the door open. Mabel. "Hey" I say grinning. She smiles and takes a sip of her coffee. "Where'd you get that? Hm?" I ask smirking. "Your room." She says hiding her smile. I watch her and gently slide my two fingers under the table back and forth, grinning at her. "Lands!" She says nearly dropping her coffee. The lady looks to us both confused, "Oh sorry he was just pulling a face at me." Mabel says a blush creeping up on her lips. I love how nervous she gets. I always will. "I've got a plan for us for later" I say continuing my earlier motion. Mabel bites her lip. "Well Lando i'm done with your hair. so i'll leave you two" the lady says before leaving the room.
"Come here darling" I say to Mabel. She walks over and i slide my arms around her waist, "Sit" I ask staring up at her. She rolls her eyes. "Attitudy" i say smirking. "I just don't want to throw it in everyone's faces. we've only just been allowed" she says softly. "Please." i groan. She rolls her eyes again and straddles my lap. "Better?" she asks sarcastically. I frown and squeeze her ass, "Don't be attitudy with me." I murmur. "I'm sorry babe" she says leaning her head on my shoulder. "You do smell lush though" she whispers in my ear.
I cuddle her close to me, "I love you" i whisper in her ear. She smiles and pulls away scanning my eyes, "I love you Lando Norris." she says sweetly. My heart beats faster. She's mine. All mine.
