Yellow Hearts- Ant Saunders

Anna's POV

Before anything could happen I stepped in between both of them so I was the one to take the punch Max threw. Max was shocked. He quickly pulled back and examined my cheek who was sure to be bruised tomorrow.
"Anna, what the fuck did you do?." Max said, obviously concerned about my wellbeing.
"Lando, go away and Max you come with me" I said while already walking into the red bull garage. Finding a spot away from the engineers.
"Anna, I'm so sorry, I just didn't see you and..."
"Cut it out Max, why the fuck did you wanna fight him in the first place?"
"He doesn't know shit about you and me and besides that, I was helping you."
"You weren't Max, you caused more than drama than you should have."
"What was I supposed to do?"Max shot back.
"Let me deal with it, I'm a grown up Max and I can take care of my own problems."
I expected a big remark but he turned quiet, looking deep in thought.
"I just don't know what you want Anna." He sighed
"And thats normal, you're not supposed to, we don't know each other well enough to know these type of things."
Our fight quickly turned into a therapy session.
"I'm sorry Anna truly."
"Come here." I said before going in for a hug.
Sure I was angry but I knew he was sorry and besides that he was running high on emotions lately so I decided to back off.

"I gotta go get ready for practice, I'll talk to you later okay?" He said before giving me an unexpected peck. I was slightly taken aback but shot him a smile which made him smile. While he was in practice I decided to film bits of it before walking back to the garage to listen to the radio.He was doing well but I could sense he was driving aggressively. Hitting the kerb time and again. It confused me a bit considering this is just practice, they weren't doing quali laps.
Max drove by the pit but his speed was soon declining.
"Max, what's going on?' I heard Gianpiero ask through the radio.
"I don't know, something's broken."
"Just go in the grass once you pass it."and that's what he did.
Yellow flag was called out and Max got out of the car unharmed.
This must set him back tremendously and I'm sure he was angry.
My thoughts were confirmed once I saw him kicking the barrier.
He walked back to the pit lane to discuss what happened and go through stats.

He joined my side once he was done.
"Are you gonna kill me out of anger?" I said trying to joke around which luckily earned me a smile.
"I'll start with Red Bull car so you're in the clear for now." He teased
"Honestly though,are you good?" I asked
"I'm okay, don't worry. We just got to get the maximum out of of P2." He said before wrapping his arm around my waist and planting a kiss on my forehead.
"Max, I know this isn't the right time to ask about us but the confusion is killing me." I admitted, lowering my voice since I didn't want everyone to hear.
"Let's go to my room in the motherhome and we'll talk." Max said before grabbing my hand and leading me towards the motherhome. I knew he had a room there and I wondered why he chose to stay in a hotel but maybe he just liked the peace and quiet. I mean Lando did the same.

We arrived and I took place on the bed and so did Max.
"Soo.."
"So..." he replied, the atmosphere being more than awkward.
"What do you want?" I asked him. It may sound childish but I would hope it would make things clear.
"Look, I like you, I've liked you ever since I saw you and I want to be with you but I'm scared, you know I got cheated on and it fucked me up more than it should." He said he opened up to me once again.
"We'll make it work, we'll take it slow."
"Wait, you never actually told me how you feel." Max noticed.
"I'm sure you know right?"
"Yes.But I wanna hear you say it." Max persisted
"I care for you Max, more than I'd like to admit." I said with a smile, feeling vulnerable.
"So It's official?" He asked with a childish grin on his face.
"Yes, it's official you muppet." I said as I let out a chuckle and playfully hit his chest.
That's when he leaned it and kissed me. I moaned which gave him the opportunity to slid his tongue in my mouth.
He was quick to grab my waist and pull me closer.
After a heavy make out session we decided to watch some Netflix. We settled on watching Bridgerton. We both really enjoyed it more than either of us expected.

After watching Bridgerton Max was ready for P2. The car was made just in time and he was ready to get on the track. I was relieved that Max and I were finally official but it made me more nervous now to see him on the track. He was already in the car looking at the stats when I walked up to him.
"Try not to die on me, okay?, I'm not ready to lose you just quite yet."
He looked up and me, his face completely covered by his helmets, only allowing me to see his eyes.
"I got you babe, don't worry about."  He said while winking at me.
"Good luck."
"Thanks."
That's when I took my leave and went to shoot some of the best parts for the movie. The movie ironically feels like the least important thing right now.
It's crazy how much has happened in the past days but then again I'm used to it by now. My life's always been a rollercoaster but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I managed to get the best footage and was quite proud of my work. Max did really well even scoring the fastest lap time. He must be really happy compared to yesterday.
After practice I was quick to run back to the garage to see Max standing there, already having taken off his helmet. He saw me running towards him and thats when he decided to lift me up and twirl me around.
"You did it, you must be so happy."
"You know I'm the best." He said teasingly he said before keeping me in his arm and kissing me once more.
Starting this relationship after a few days of knowing each other was completely insane. People will say it's too fast but I couldn't care less because I knew that the boy that was holding me was the one.
