Being a waitress was never part of your plan. It wasn’t what you dreamed of when you imagined your future, but life had a way of throwing curveballs. After being let go from your previous job, this was where you landed, walking between tables, balancing trays, and plastering on a smile to mask the exhaustion.

As you made your way through the café, taking orders and delivering drinks, your eyes swept over the tables out of habit. That’s when you saw him.

Lando Norris.

He sat there, effortlessly confident, his arms stretched out casually as he spoke into his phone. His laughter carried over the low hum of conversation, easy and magnetic. And then, as if sensing your gaze, his eyes met yours. For a split second, the world seemed to stand still. You felt your pulse quicken, your breath catch — an inexplicable rush that left you both exhilarated and unnerved.

He ended his call, a faint smile playing on his lips as he leaned forward slightly. “I’ll have a double coffee, please.” he said, his voice smooth and warm, his gaze steady on yours. The simple words and that smile sent a flutter through your chest, and you had to remind yourself to focus.
