Max's POV

I woke up to an empty bed next to mine.I decided to just get breakfast and go to the circuit, I'm sure she'll turn up.Once i arrived at the track I decided to call her to see where she was at. I gotta look at least a bit interested in her wellbeing. No answer.
Where the fuck were you?!"I asked Anna when I saw her approaching.
"Good morning to you too" she shot back. She really didn't have the right to say that after what she did.
Before I could lose my cool I saw Christian approaching. This is gonna be good.
"Hey Anna, I heard from Max that you were gone without telling anyone where you were, its fine if you wanna do something outside of work but just let us know next time okay?"he said while giving her a reassuring smile.
"You must be fucking kidding!,that's all she gets?,where were you anyway?" I asked beyond pissed at this point.
"With me"
I looked behind me and saw Lando standing here.

Anna's POV
"It's fine Lando, its my fault for being late, not yours'" I quickly swooped in before he took the blame.
"What the fuck is going on between you two, you guys have known each other for less than a day" Max screamed.
I wondered what pissed him off so much. I thought he would be happy with me being gone but instead he's livid and the moment Lando comes in its like it got a 1000 times worse.
"None of your business Max, you can't decide what she wants to do and besides why do you care?, I thought you hated her" Lando screamed with the exact same force as Max.
Max's face changed from anger to something completely different. I couldn't really decipher it.
"How would you know that?"
"Anna told me how things were going and putting 2 and 2 together wasn't too difficult"
What Lando just said caused me to put my hands in my hair out of frustration. This is gonna cause so much shit. He's not gonna trust me now.
"Lando, are you coming?"
Carlos just came from the garage probably to see where Lando was at.
"Yeah I'm coming, Max treat her nicely will you?,she's been through a hell of a lot and you're really adding to that pile, she's never mistreated you and just because others have doesn't mean you can act like this' he said before joining Carlos and going back into the garage.
I looked at Max and saw anger all over his face. I don't think I've ever seen him this angry which I didn't even think was possible.

"Max I...." he cut me off before I could continue
"Fuck you" he said before walking away.
Just like last time I decided to go after him.
"I'm sorry I told him okay I just felt like maybe he could help me"
"With what?"
"With you, I've been trying to get close to you and all you do is push me away. I wanted this job to find out who you were and all I learned is that you're kind to everybody but me" I confessed, probably a stupid idea but I was too messed up to think about my actions.
"I just wanted to get to know you Max but if you keep refusing I'm not gonna keep trying'
"Wasn't last night enough for you?"
"No, it wasn't. I need to know far more, what drives you. Why you are the way you are. How you see things. How you feel about things. Everything.
He stared at me blankly. No reaction.
"I can't keep doing this Max, I can't keep trying to get to you to end up being hurt by you"
"I hurt you?' He asked, showing fragility in his eyes.
"Yes" . Once again he remained quiet but this time it was different. Like he was starting to understand things.

"I'm sorry but I can't" he murmured, I barely managed to make out what he said but I did but I'm not sure if I wanted to hear it. It was genuine and it made me realize something. I've been so focused on trying to get answers out of him but I never thought about the fact that he might just not want to and who am I to try and change that. That's his choice.
"I'm gonna go to Christian and tell him this is over" I said before turning around and walking away.
Before I managed to get a stride in he grabbed my arm and spun me around.
"What are you...' I murmured.
Then he kissed me. His hands went around my waist straight away.
It wasn't like with Lando, Lando's kiss was sweet, innocent. It made your heart light up but Max's kiss.
It wasn't him wanting to kiss me, it was like he needed it. Like he couldn't live without it. Like if he didn't kiss me he couldn't breathe.
I should've stopped right there and then, there was no possible positive outcome. It would have been foolish to kiss him.
But I did.
Because as much as I'd like to say I hated him, I really didn't. I didn't see him as this rude guy who had it all. I saw him as a guy that had been hurt. More than he'd ever like to admit.
He continued kissing me for a few minutes, his lips felt so good against mine, it felt like we were in sync.
Then he pulled back.
"I..."
and before I could say more he walked away.

"Hey, you're the new kid fom Red bull right?"I turned around and saw Sebastian standing there. What's up with people sneaking up behind me?.
I quickly got myself back together after everything that had just happened.
"Yeah that's me, its really nice to meet you, I've been a really big fan off yours for a while now" I responded, trying to sound excited even though I felt just about every emotion except enthusiasm after what just happened.
"Thank you, I appreciate it. I was actually wondering if you wanted to come to one of the clubs here tonight, most of the drivers will be there and Lando asked me to ask you"
"Do you by any chance know if Max is gonna be there?, I kind of have to work so if he comes as well I might be able to combine it"
"I think so, wouldn't know why he wouldn't be there"
"Well then you got yourself a deal"
