Grand Prix Of Love - Max Verstappen

Chapter 37

When I wake up the next morning, my head is pounding. I groan and roll over, staight into Max's arms, who still has his eyes closed. But I can see a smile forming on his lips. Not even a minute later, the alarm is heard. I groan once again, as the sound hurts my head. I quickly turn it off.

"Good morning, babe" Max says. I look at him and he seems fine.

"Are you already used to alcohol then?" I ask him and he laughs. Without saying anything, he gets out of bed. I am confused, but stay in bed as long as possible. I know we have a plane to catch, but I set the alarm a bit earlier than was needed, as I could stay in bed a bit longer.

Max comes back into the room with a glass filled with water. He hands it to me and two pain killers. I smile at his gesture and take the pain killers. I drink the whole glass of water, as it takes a lot for me to take painkillers. I hate them. I hate swallowing them as they always get stuck in my throat.

After taking the painkillers, I get out of bed and get into the shower. Sometimes, it helps and sometimes it only gets worse by showers. Luckily, this time, it actually helps my head ache. I spend a good 20 minutes in the shower and when I get out, my suitcase is on my bed, fully packed. Max is packing his suitcase right now.

"Did you seriously just pack my suitcase?" I ask Max. Max looks up and smiles proudly.

"I did. I thought that you might not feel good enough for it, so I did it. I left out some clothes for you to wear. As we have to go to the Factory, I left out just some jeans and your Red Bull shirt. Your make-up bag is on the counter next to the mirror, I left room in your suitcase for it" Max tells me. I just walk over to him and kiss him. He smiles at me.

"Thank you, seriously" I tell him. He shakes his head.

"It's the least I can do. You've done a lot for me over the past weeks and I'm really grateful" Max says.

"But that's my job now, so it's different" I tell him. "Besides, you've done enough for me, remember the surprise when I graduated" I say.

"Okay, true. But I just thought I'd help you out" Max says. I smile and put on the jeans and shirt he laid out for me. I then do my make-up, but I just use some foundation, concealer and mascara, to make me look atleast a bit normal. When I'm done, I put my hair in a pony tail and put my make-up bag and my brush into my suitcase. I quicky brush my teeth and put my toothbrush in the suitcase as well. I put on my Adidas Superstars and I'm ready to go. Max seems to be ready as well, so we make our way to Daniel's room and then to the airport.

A few hours later, we've arrived at the Factory. Christian took a plane back last night, so he is already up and running through the factory, ready for job interviews. Max is going to be working with Marcel in the simulator, while Christian, Daniel and I are going to do the interviews. I kiss Max good bye as he takes off. I sit down next to Daniel, waiting until the office is ready to go. I look at Dan and see him frowning at his phone. Before I can ask him anything, he begins talking.

"I think I messed something up" he starts. I frown at him, waiting for him to continue.

"I mean, I kind of got a text from a very pissed Victoria. She saw pictures of me dancing with that girl from last night and she now thinks I'm cheating on her. I tried to explain that I just danced with her, but she is mad and I kind of understand, but I don't know how to fix this" Daniel says. I then realise what happened last night. The moment when Dan started dancing close with a girl because we wanted to dance. Last night, I didn't even think about him having a girlfriend.

"I don't even know how I couldn't remember last night. I have a question for you, though" I say and he looks up at me.

"Do you like Victoria enough to fight for it or do you feel like you can find someone who you'll like more?" when I ask him this, I realize I still haven't told Max how I really feel. Anyway, back to Dan. He seems to be thinking rather hard about this.
