"What we have to lose"

15

It's Friday today and I'm on my way to the factory. My first appointment is at 11 so I have enough time to talk to Mr Horner about the tickets for my parents. I spend the day yesterday with baking. I had a variety of dutch pastry and cake recipes and baked a lot. I took most of it with me to the factory for all of the team to enjoy.
I arrived and greeted the friendly secretary, who's name is Mae, as usual and showed her what I baked. " This looks really tasty Amilia." she complimented. I thanked her and made my way to Mr Horner.
"Good Morning Ms. Van Dijk, please come in." Mr Horner greeted me as I opened the door. I asked him about the tickets and the hotel for my parents and he agreed immediately. "I'm so happy they want to come, we are all looking forward to meet them. I book the flights and the hotel and you'll receive the paddock pass when we arrive there.". Mr. Horner says. "Thank you so much, they are looking forward to meet the whole team as well.". We talked a little and I told him that I'll put the cake and pastries in one of the conference rooms. I walked to my area and send out a mail to the whole factory, telling them that they can all eat what I brought.

"Goedemorgen de taart ziet er fantastisch uit. Ik hoop dat de anderen iets achterlaten.". I hear a familiar voice behind me. I turn around to see Max and answer him in Dutch as well. "Dat doet me plezier, Ik hoop het ook voor jou.".
We finished off Max's appointment with some stretching. I always stretch with the boys so they can't say anything. "How the fu** are you that flexible?" Max asked as he tried to copy what I do. "First of all no swearing and second of all I was a dancer." I said, laughing at the swearing part because I catch myself doing it as well.
Max was done for today and hugged me. "Do you have any plans tonight?" he asks. I shake my head no, wondering what he wants. "Do you want to come over to my place and watch a movie with Daniel and me?" he asks, kinda shy. "Yes I'd love to, send me your address and I'll be there. Shall I bring something?" I ask. Now he shakes his head no. "I have anything on hand." he replied. "Ok see you later then." I answer smiling. "See ya." he says and away he is.

After spending my lunch break with only Daniel, we both get back to my work area for his appointment. I also stretched with him, just like I did it with Max. "So movie night at Max's tonight?!" I said to Daniel. He looked at me smiling. "You're coming?! Hell yes it'll be a good night." he says. I had to laugh at his excitement. He looks like a small boy who got a big box of chocolates.
We walked out of the area and into the conference room where I see only empty plates left. There were many sticky notes on the table, thanking or complimenting me for my cake. That brought such a big smile on my face.
Arriving back home Daniel and I said that we meet in front of my apartment and drive to Max together.
I checked my messages to see that Max texted, telling me I should wear comfortable clothes. I was about to do that anyways but good that he reassured my thoughts.

I had a little afternoon snack before I walked into my bedroom to decide on what I want to wear. I looked through my wardrobe and decided on an outfit. I wear a white cropped top and a cropped sweat jacket. I then chose black booty shorts but added black sweatpants above. I slipped into some shoes and put my hair up into a bun.
Daniel picked me up and we drove to Max. Daniel was also wearing comfortable clothes, a crewneck sweater and sweat shorts, I recognized all of his clothes from his merch.

We arrived and rang the bell. Max opened the door and greeted the two of us. We walked in and I was overwhelmed with his apartment as well. It was big, modern and portraits Max in any way possible. I saw a lot of drinks and snacks in the kitchen and he made a really comfortable place for us to sit in front of his TV. It was full of pillows and duvets and I wanted to jump in it right now.
We pulled his couch table closer to where we'll sit to watch the movie and placed all of the drinks and snacks on there. "I want to sit in the middle." Daniel literally screamed. "No I want to sit there." I pouted. "You already sat in the middle when we watched a movie at your place I want to sit there now." Max also joined our argument. "Rock, paper, scissors." Daniel said. Long story short, I won. I sat down in the middle and the Boys on each side of me.
