The season had now fully started, Charles had a bit of a hard time getting used to the car in the first couple of races, but he quickly learned how to work with the car and the team. The first three races he didn't score points. But from Azerbaijan forward he only didn't finish in the points a hand full of times.
This didn't go unoticed in the paddock. The rookie steadily performing in his first season almost every race outracing his teammate with quite a big margin.
Word began to go though the paddock that he might make a transfer to one of the big teams next year already. The team being Ferrari. Charles had always dreamed about Ferarri and he only hoped that he at some point could drive for the scuderia from maranelo. He never would have dreamed that his big break could be closer then he ever expected.

He surely was doing well for himself. Work wise and on personal level. Him and Max were slowly developing in their relationship. They decided to take it slow and easy.  They decided to not see eachother to much on the racing weekends not wanting to atrackt the attention towards themselves. Also Jos had been in the paddock quite a bit. Charles wasn't afraid after what happend but also wasn't sure what would happen if he got to close. Jos either choosing to not look at him at all of sending him an all saying glare.
After the incident in Monaco Max had told Charles he would let Redbull ban his father from the paddock. But Charles insisted for him to not do that. Eventhough he didn't like him one bit. It was still Max's father. And he didn't want to break them up. Cause they at least could still have a relationship. He couldn't.

The the weekend in Monza came. Charles had a lot of conversations with his manager and Ferrari. Actually talking about maybe making the step up to the scudaria in 2020 Maurizio still thought he was to young to make the step to a team like Ferrari. Who were know to be quite conservative. Only signing driver who already proved themselves. But when it became know that Matia Binotto would take over everything changed.
Charles and his manager Nicolas were called to the Ferrari hospitality the race weekend prior in spa.
They told him they wanted him and already for next year! They finalised some requirements and would sign the contract on Sunday after the race.
Charles was so happy and couldn't wait to tell his boyfriend the good news. But everytime he saw Max in the paddock his father was close.
So when he got the chance between fp3 and qualifying. Jos nowhere in side. He grabbed Max's arm and pulled him behind the Pirelli trucks.
Max looked freighted before his face relaxed when he saw it was Charles.
'Hey schatje, what are you doing? It's raceweekend remember?'
'Your not happy to see me Verstappen? 'He asked jokingly.
'You know I'm always happy to see you! But we don't normally do this on raceweekends so I'm just surprised' he replied. Brushing his hand lightly over Charles's hand.
Charles smiled at him and grabbed his hand.
'I've got amazing news' he beamed his smile reaching from ear to ear.
'Ferrari want me for 2019!' He said happily
'O MY GOD CHARLIE THATS AMAZING!' Max hugged him tightly. 'I told you, you would make it!' He whispered in his hair.
'I don't care it's raceweekend, tonight we're gonna celebrate babe' he added.  They smiled once again to each other before they parted ways to get ready for qualifying.

That evening they met in Charles's hotel room. When Max closed the door behind himself he enveloped Charles in a thight hug.
'I'm so so proud of you schatje! I wanted to do this for the entire day!' He told him. While he gave a longing kiss to his lover.
The kiss quickly heated and Charles pressed Max against the door behind him. Hand were in his hair and on his body. His hand roaming the skin under the white t-shirt Max was wearing. Max doing the same. Charles grabbed max by his hips and turned him so he could push him toward the bed. When Max calf's hit the bed he quickly pulled his shirt over his head before he pushed him on it. They had a heated makeout session before they broke apart after a while. Foreheads pressed together while they were catching their breaths.
They hadden yet 'slept' with eachother. Both wanting to take it slow. Also both afraid to take the next step, not being with a men before.
'That was hot' max breathed out blushing with a smile on his face.
'Yes it was' Charles said while his cheeks turned pink.
When they finally Catches their breaths they ordered room service and played some games on Max's portable PlayStation. When it was close to midnight they kissed goodbye and Max went to his own room in the hotel.

When Max was in his bed he decided to text his boyfriend before he fell asleep. 'Goodnight Ferrari prince 🤴🏻❤️, I love you.'

The next day was a mixed day. Max got a podium finishing third. While a Charles was crashed out by Hulkenberg catapulting the orange mclaren from Alonso on to his car. Charles kept driving but unfortunately had to much damage what made him retire from the race. He went to the media pen and did his duties before he watched the race from his drivers room

Max on the other hand had heard about the crash. He was relieved to hear from GP that all the drivers were fine, especially that Charles was fine. But when he saw the clips of the crash after the race when he was giving interviews his blood ran cold. At this moment he regretted he ever hated on the halo on their cars. He could only be thankful now.

He would stay at his mother and sister's house after this weekend. But he couldn't leave before he saw his boyfriend. Even though he was told the Monegask was fine he needed to see with his own eyes. So he went to look at the Sauber hospitality expecting to find him there. He lingered around there for a while pretending to talk to some people he knew. But when the Monegask didn't seem to be there he walked back to Redbull defeated. Before he heard him. When Max looked up he saw Charles leaving the Ferrari hospitality.

He looked if the coast was clear and when he was positive that it was he pulled Charles in between the trucks behind the hospitality.
He studied his face before he forcefully and needy kissed his boyfriend. 'Thank god your okay Charlie' he breathed out.
'Aww mon Chou , were you worried about me?' 'Ofcourse I was Charles! They told me you were okay but when I saw the crash I just needed to see for myself.' He said sincerely'I can't loose you!'
