Maisie's POV:

We all arrived to the after party together. I hadn't seen Frenkie or Kiara again during match day.

Thank God.

I had had a few shots, so did the others. I was chatting with George. We were laughing.

"His face was priceless. I'm calling him Frank from now on." I spoke and he laughed. I took a sip of my drink.

"Is his hair bleached?" He asked and I spit out my drink. We both bursted out laughing. "It was a genuine question." He spoke in between laughter.

"It does look bleached. But surprisingly it's not." I spoke still laughing.

"Maisie Findlay." I heard a voice and looked up seeing Lando. He had some shades on  and was holding a bottle of vodka. "Why are you sitting down?" He asked, his words slurry.

"Because I'm having a nice chat with George." I replied and I swore I could see him roll his eyes under the dark shades.

"We are having a nice chat, mate." George agreed with me.

"Chatting in a party? Come on now." Lando walked towards me and took the drink off my hand. "What is this?" He took a sip and I chuckled softly when I saw him grimace. "Take a shot instead of this fruity drink."

"Fruity drinks taste better." George snatched the drink from him, offended.

"And I think I already took enough shots." I spoke raising my eyebrows.

"Not a single one given by me." He stretched out his hand for me to grab it. I chuckled softly and grabbed his hand.

He pulled me up and I stumbled forwards, our noses almost touching as he stopped me from falling, grabbing my waist.

"Aren't you a strong one?" I joked and he chuckled looking down, our noses brushing against each other.

"I'm getting another drink." George spoke with an unamused expression on his face. I looked at him and gave him a short smile.

He forced a smile and walked away.

I looked back at Lando. He raised the bottle of vodka. I smiled tilting my head back and he poured the liquor into my mouth. I heard claps and chuckled.

"You're such a pro." Chi, who was followed by Carlos spoke smiling. "I want one too Landito." She spoke and Lando chuckled.

"Since when are you nice with me?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Since you have a bottle of vodka in your hands." She took the bottle from him. "Mr. Sainz, would you do the honors?" She asked looking up at him.

"Mr. Sainz." Carlos repeated raising an eyebrow, a smirk on his face. "I like that." He grabbed the bottle and Chi chuckled.

Carlos grabbed Chi's face and poured liquor into her mouth. She swallowed it and Carlos chuckled wrapping her arm around her waist.

"Now your turn." Chi grabbed the bottle. She pulled Carlos' shirt, pulling him towards her.

She poured liquor into her cleavage. Carlos smiled and leaned down, licking the liquor out of Chi's body. She laughed throwing her head back and grabbed his face. Carlos went in for a kiss.

Lando and I exchanged looks and nodded approvingly.

"Goddamn. Kika! Kika!" Pierre yelled. "We need to try that right now." He spoke and we laughed.

"Want to..." Lando looked at me.

"Don't even think about it." I cut him off and he chuckled.

"Ouch." He scrunched his nose leaning towards me and I chuckled softly.

I looked at the entrance, I saw Kiara and Frenkie walking in and holding hands. They were greeted by the other football players. Frenkie looked at me and I immediately looked away.

Lando noticed this and looked at what I was looking at.

"No fucking way." He took his shades off.

"I'm not letting him ruin my night." I spoke raising my eyebrows.

"He is ruining mine." He spoke and I shook my head.

"Don't let him." I spoke and saw his clenched jaw. "And don't do anything stupid, please." I told him and he didn't answer. "Lando." I called him.

"Whatever you want Maisie Findlay." He looked at me and I smiled softly.

Lando's POV:

"Maisie." We heard a voice and turned around.

Robert Lewandowski was smiling at her.

"Hey." She smiled greeting him with a short hug. "Congratulations for the game." She told him.

"Thank you." He smiled. "Lando Norris." He greeted me with a hug and pat on the back.

"That's me." I smiled and he chuckled softly.

"This is Pablo, don't know if you two met." He now addressed Maisie.

"No, I didn't get the chance to interview him." Maisie spoke.

"Sadly." Pablo spoke up and Maisie chuckled. "Really nice to meet you Maisie Findlay." He extended his hand.

I raised my eyebrows, crossing my arms in front of my chest. Only I called her Maisie Findlay.

"Really nice to meet you too." Maisie smiled, not seeming annoyed by him calling her her full name.

"Lando." He extended his hand. "I'm a fan of yours." He smiled.

"You have taste." I shook his hand and looked at Maisie. He chuckled. "I'm a fan of yours too. Such an amazing player and you're just 19." I put emphasis on his age, giving Maisie a surprised look.

"Almost 20." He chuckled looking at Maisie.

"They barely let him in." Pedri joined the conversation, patting his shoulder.

"Cállate cabrón." Pablo hit his hand and he laughed before walking away.

"Nice to see you Maisie." Robert smiled.

"Nice to see you too." Maisie smiled back.

Pablo and him walked away. Maisie hit my arm and I laughed. She chuckled.

"The little boy has a crush on you." I teased and she rolled her eyes smiling.

Maisie's POV:

Chi, Kika, Kelly, Lily, and I were sitting on a couch together. We were taking  shots. We all grimaced at the taste of the tequila.

"Another round." Kika slammed her glass on the table and I laughed.

"That was my first and last one." Kelly spoke making a face of disgust.

"Come on, the night is young Kells." I teased and she chuckled.

"That shot just took 30 years off my lifespan." Chi spoke and we laughed.

"I'm gonna get us another round." I grabbed the glasses and they cheered and clapped. I chuckled as I walked towards the bar.

I struggled to grab the glasses. I got to the bar and put them on the counter.

"Refill please." I smiled and the bartender chuckled softly.

"Right away." He grabbed the glasses.

I sat down on the bar waiting for the shots. I felt a presence besides me and turned my head. My whole body tensed up when I saw Frenkie.

"Hey." He spoke in a soft tone and I raised my eyebrow giving him a fake smile before turning back to the front, trying to ignore his presence. "Your dress is nice." He complimented me and I turned to look at him again.

"Are you lost?" I asked raising an eyebrow and he chuckled softly.

"No need to be hostile." He leaned towards me.

"You haven't seen hostile." I pursed my lips in a fake smile, putting my hand in front to stop him from getting any closer. "Don't you have a girlfriend?" I asked.

"I had you." I noticed his slurry words.

"Yeah, and then you kissed my best friend." I spoke and he rolled his eyes.

"Come on Mais, why do you erase all the good times?" He put his hand over mine and I immediately took my hand off. "Remember the fun we had?"

"I don't think you're gonna have fun with my fist in your face." I heard another voice, it was Carlos, who was followed by George and Max.

"I was just chatting with Mais." Frenkie raised his hands in fake surrender.

"Don't call her that mate." George looked annoyed.

"Nice chat Mais." Frenkie remarked my nickname.

"Just leave." Max pushed him making him stumbled. He chuckled and walked away. "Are you okay Mais?" He asked putting his hand on my shoulder and I nodded.

"Fucking Barça players." Carlos mumbled crossing his arms.

I looked down, my hair falling in front of my face. I hated seeing Frenkie, it was like reliving that moment every time I saw him.

"Hey." George put a strand of hair behind my ear. "Let's cheer up, okay? Let's dance." He grabbed my hands and I chuckled softly.

"I need to take the girls their shots." I spoke pointing at the shots with my head.

"We'll take the shots, don't worry Mais." Max spoke and Carlos look at him.

"Uh, yeah." He pursed his lips on a smile.

"Thank you." I smiled and they nodded.

They grabbed the shots and walked towards the table where the girls were at.

"So?" George pulled me and I chuckled.

"Didn't know you were a dancer." I teased and he squinted tilting his head slightly.

"I'm not. But I'll try for you." He replied and I smiled softly.

Nervous by The Neighbourhood started playing. I looked up and saw George staring down at me. I stared into his blue eyes as the club's light shone on them.

Maybe I shouldn't try to be perfect
I confess, I'm obsessed with the surface
In the end, if I fall or if I get it all
I just hope that it's worth it

He smiled as I felt his hand on my waist. I looked down at his hand and then back at him. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

You've got me nervous to speak
So I just won't say anything at all
I've got an urge to release
And you keep tellin' me to hold on

He leaned closer, our noses almost touching.

Should I be quiet?
Uh, come on, be silent
Uh, you know I'm tryin'
So don't say nothin'
Uh, tell me you trust me and
Kiss me and hug me, yeah

He spun me around and I chuckled as he brought me closer to him again. I rested my hand on his chest.

"There's that smile." He chuckled softly and I pursed my lips on a smile.

"You're a great dancer Russell." I raised my eyebrows smiling and he chuckled.

You've got me nervous to move
So I just won't give anything to you
You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me

He pulled me closer, my breath running short when I noticed our closeness.

"You look really beautiful." He whispered.

I smiled and turned to the side. I saw Frenkie walking towards the bar. He was looking directly at me and George. I looked away and met George's confused eyes.

"Let's dance." I smiled trying to cheer up.

Lando's POV:

I was leaning on the bar. My eyes still on the scene in front of me. I swallowed hard as I watched her smile.

Hush, baby, don't you say another word
Hush, baby, don't you say another word, be quiet

George smiled, analyzing every single one of her features. I couldn't stop looking at her hand on his chest, his hand on her waist.

Hush, baby, don't you say another word
Hush, baby, when you do, I just get hurt

I took a long sip of my drink. The burning on my throat hurting less than the scene in front of me. I couldn't look away, my heart beating loudly.

Come on, baby, don't you hurt me anymore
I'm not the same way that I was before

I tilted my head slightly. It was hard not to fall for her. She had a smile that lit up the entire room, a pair of dark eyes that stared into you with such intensity. She was perfect in every way.

If someone asked me to name one of Maisie Findlay's flaw, I would say being too perfect to be true.

I got goosebumps all over me
When you're around, hard for me to breathe

Maybe that was her flaw. She made everyone around her fall in love, but she only had one heart.

Come on, baby, don't you do that anymore
It's not like the days have never felt so short
My nerves, they give me a sign
Tell me I'm not fine, mhm

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" I heard a voice and turned my head.

I didn't answer when I saw who it was. Frenkie.

"I had her once, could you believe it?" He spoke and I looked him up and down.

"No I can't." I mumbled looking back at Maisie.

"You're crushing on her, aren't you?" He nudged me, earning a glare.

This guy was extremely annoying.

"It's not a crush." I mumbled taking a sip of my drink.

"Oh man, don't tell me you love her." He laughed and I went silent. "Poor you. She likes to hoe around." He spoke and I looked at him furrowing my brows.

"Weren't you the one who cheated on her?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I did." He chuckled taking a sip of his drink. "But she's no saint as you can see." He pointed at George and Maisie.

"Maisie did nothing to you." I defended her.

"She did a lot of things to me mate." He laughed and I felt my blood boil at his comment. "She doesn't just use that mouth of hers to talk on TV."

I made a face of disgust, looking away. This guy was unbelievable. I stood up to walk away, not wanting to hear anything else from this asshole.

"Don't try to love her right. A girl like that doesn't deserve it." He spoke and I stopped. I clenched my jaw and my fist.

I tried taking deep breaths but his words kept replaying in my mind. I bit my under lip trying to keep it together but I couldn't.

I turned around and threw a punch directly aimed at his face. He groaned in pain and touched his nose, it was bleeding. People gathered around us, watching the scene.

We broke into a fight. He pushed me against a table, I groaned as drinks were knocked to the ground, people gasping. He approached me again and I punched him, knocking him to the ground.

I leaned down grabbing his shirt. I punched him right in the nose again. He threw a punch at me and pulled me down. He tried to get on top of me to hit me but I kicked him.

"Lando!" I heard familiar voices yelling my name.

Carlos was holding me back while Frenkie was held back by Pedri.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Pedri yelled at him.

I breathed heavily and looked to the side seeing Maisie. She shook her head disappointed and I looked down.

People around us were recording. This was going to be a huge scandal.

"Lando, are you okay mate?" Carlos asked and I nodded.

[...]

I was sitting in a VIP room. Carlos handed me some ice for my knuckles.

"You beat the shit out of him." He spoke and I grimaced. "Good punch." He smiled softly and I chuckled softly.

The door opened and I saw Maisie. Carlos looked at her and then at me.

"I'll leave you two to talk." He patted my shoulder and walked towards the door. "It wasn't his fault." I heard him whisper to Maisie.

"I know." She whispered.

Carlos walked out closing the door behind him. I looked up at Maisie. She took a deep breath.

"I asked you one thing." She spoke and I stood up, leaving the ice on the couch.

"I know Mais, I know." I walked towards her and she walked around me. I followed her with my eyes.

"You just had to be a man an cause a scene." She spoke brushing her hair with her fingers.

"I'm sorry Mais." I apologized. I took a step closer to her. "I'm so..." I was cut off by her pushing me. My back hit the wall hardly, leaving me speechless.

She grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me in, kissing me. I immediately melted into her lips, her hand on my face. I closed my eyes and put my hand on her waist.

She cut off the kiss abruptly and patted my face.

"I don't need you to defend me. Frenkie knows how to humiliate himself." She whispered and my eyes shifted from her eyes to her lips.

She opened the door and walked out of the room, leaving completely in shock. I licked my lips and passed my hands through my hair.

What the hell just happened?

I chuckled softly, a smile appearing on my face.

MANDO
LAISIE

The beginning of something beautiful, huh?
