Wild Heart [Max Verstappen]

Part 26

After the fantastic dinner, Max and I said goodbye to his family. I had such a great night, his parents are treasures and his sisters are fantastic. I already felt that we will definitely get along well and that I will definitely hear from them. Max opened the door for me again and just before I got into the car I saw a figure a little further down the street, all dressed in black with a hood on. I just ignored it because here you often saw seedy people appearing and disappearing. The entire drive back was filled with talk, laughter and us singing. Before I knew it he was parked in front of my apartment "thanks for tonight, it was really fun"
"I have to thank you Nora for coming with me"
"Would you like to come in for a second?"
"Sure I can come in for a little while"
Together we went upstairs "Welcome to my humble abode, make yourself at home"
He sat down quietly and looked around at some pictures that hung on the wall of my family, a picture from Lando and I when we were little.
I poured him a glass of water and set the glass on my coffee table. I walked to my large window to close the curtains, before they were completely closed I saw the person dressed in black standing on the other side of the street. Staring at my window, I also kept looking until Max caught my attention. "Everything alright over there?"
I nodded and closed my curtains completely and then walked over to him. "Yeah I just thought I saw someone"
Max started to laugh "you haven't had anything to drink"
I rolled my eyes and hit a pillow that was on the sofa against his head "just shut up"
We both ended up laughing, we kept talking and catching up with each other for hours. Then he decided that he should go home and get some rest.
"Can I see you tomorrow?" He asked, sounding like a shy teenage boy asking a girl out.
"Of course, we'll see tomorrow what and how"
I gave him a hug and I let him outside, I stayed outside to wave. When he was out of sight I turned to go back inside. It was then that I noticed that the figure was still standing across the street, hiding in a dark corner. It gave me goosebumps and made sure I was back inside as soon as possible and that everything was locked.

After I changed and got into bed, Max texted me to let me know he was home and to thank me again. We had to take it slow, I didn't want to be pushed aside again. You know what they say there no 2 without 3. With a sigh I lay in bed and stared at the ceiling and started thinking about everything that had happened lately.

The sound of a glass breaking woke me up from my sleep and I sat up in my bed. I looked at the door and heard footsteps walking by with the light of a flashlight. My heart started beating faster and I reached for my phone and quickly pressed Lando's number and held my phone to my ear. Cautiously I crawled out of my bed and walked towards my door which I opened carefully so that I could see through the crack.
It was 3 am of course he wouldn't answer "fuck" I whispered and scrolled to Max's number to call him.
A sleepy but sexy voice responded "Nora?"
"Max... can you come to my apartment? Someone is inside"
I whispered while still beeping through the crack.
"What? I am coming. Call the police now" the connection was broken, the figure was looking for something, but what would anyone want from me... there was nothing of cash here or expensive jewelry. I threw my phone on my bed and decided to sneak into the kitchen to get a knife there so that I had something to protect myself, I walked as quietly as possible with the knife in my hands to the figure. The floor under my feet creaked and the figure turned with a jerk. I couldn't see his face, he had a kind of scarf over his mouth and nose, only his eyes were visible. I stood stock-still and stared at the figure who was also staring at me, my breathing quickened and I tried to keep myself as calm as possible.
"W-who are you? What do you want?" Finally came out of my mouth pointing the knife at him. He said nothing and walked right up to me, as if he wasn't afraid of the knife. This probably because I was trembling and because of this the knife was shaking. Before I knew it he grabbed my wrist and squeezed it hard, causing me to scream and drop the knife to the floor.
I tried to free myself from his grip but I couldn't do it, he was way too strong. We both heard a car stop abruptly in front of the door, Max. I looked at the broken window and then back to the figure who did just the same. I started yelling Max's name and felt a hand on my mouth to muffle the sound. How could Max ever get in, everything was closed. The figure pushed me on the floor with one hand over my mouth and with the other hand he grabbed the knife that was on the floor and held it against my body so that I was afraid to move.
