The next morning Zara woke up to an empty bed, reaching out to where Max had been laying she found his spot was still slightly warm meaning he'd just got out of bed. She decided to go and look for him, quickly pulling on his shirt that was lying on the floor.

As she walked downstairs she heard him talking to someone, assuming that he was on the phone she didn't hesitate to enter the living room where Max was standing with his personal trainer, Bradley Scanes.

"Oh..." Zara whispered as both men turned to look at her after hearing her footsteps approaching.
Bradley laughed as he finally put all the pieces together.

"So this is what you meant when you said that you already exercised this morning, let me guess your workout replaced you usually midnight snack?"
He asked jokingly.
"Oh no I had my midnight snack and I did my workout all in one hour, how bizarre?"
Max went along with the joke, making Zara blush at the sexual innuendo.

"One hour please more like one minute."
At Zara's words Bradley couldn't help laugh.
"I like her. I'm Bradley Scanes by the way."
"Zara Larsson-Wolff"
The two shook hands as Bradley tried to hide his shock at the girls last name.

"Wait, Zara Larsson as in the Zara Larsson, and Wolff as in Toto Wolff?"
The couple both sighed.
"Yep."

Bradley ran his hand over his face as he thought of how Christian and Helmut would react if they found out that their number one driver was sleeping with the daughter of their greatest rival. How much scarier would Toto Wolff's reaction be.
"You guys do realize that your relationship could turn whatever cold war going on between Redbull and Mercedes into an all out war?"

The two blonde's looked at each other and sighed as they knew that they were yet to discuss their relationship.

Zara left the two men to discuss the plan for the week while she went and made breakfast.
This was unusual for the girl as after most one night stands she'd leave as soon as possible, but after spending the night in Max's arms she knew that they both wanted more than just one date and a one night stand. But before she could commit she had to have that uncomfortable talk about how people would react.

Max strolled into the kitchen to see Zara putting the finishing touches to their plates
He'd just let Bradley out, after promising to talk to Zara about the elephant in the room.
"Hey."
"Hey you. I'm almost done with this and then we need to talk."
Now Max wasn't one to get nervous but when a girl, specifically one that he liked as much as Zara said those words his mind went into overdrive.
Seeing the look on his face, she offered him a small comforting smile hoping to calm his nerves.

They finished their breakfast in silence both waiting for the other to speak up.
Max finally built up the courage to say something.
"I don't know about you but I'm hoping that whatever we have going on is more than just a summer fling or a one night stand. And I know that people will react badly but I really just want to be with you."
Despite his encouraging words, Zara still felt some anxiety and finally put her thoughts into words.

" I know that and trust me, I also want more. But if we do this we have to keep it a secret, if my father or your team finds out then they'll tear us apart. And if the media finds out then it could completely ruin our lives. So if you're serious, then you need to be ok with keeping this a secret. "

"For now but when I win the championship next year, I want to be able kiss you in front of everyone and to show you off around the paddock and on Instagram."
As he said this he stood up and pulled Zara up, making her stumble into him. She giggled at his words and actions.

"Oh, so you're going to win the championship next year? "
She asked with a raised eyebrow.

" Of course, that's probably the only way that your father would accept this relationship. And besides you deserve to have a championship winning boyfriend."
Zara full on laughed as she looked at the pout Max sported on his lips.

He cut off her laughter with a soft kiss.
Which turned rough.
Which led to them making out.
Which led to...

Hours later, once Zara had showered and called her stepmom, she was getting ready to leave.
She and Max were standing by his door, the Dutch man trying to convince his lover to travel to the Spanish Grand prix with him that evening but the girl declined stating that she'd be staying in Monaco with her baby brother while her stepmom attended the event with her dad.

As she opened the door to leave she bumped right into someone's hard chest.

"Oomf."
"Oh sorry there doll, I did not see you there."

At the sound of the familiar Australian accent Zara cringed.
She'd just been seen by F1's biggest gossip, Daniel Ricciardo, leaving Max Verstappen's apartment.
The Australian was equally shocked as he realized who'd just walked out of his best friends apartment .
Max decided to step in before things got more awkward.

"Hey Dan, why don't you come in. Zara I'll see you next week. Bye love."
At his words the blonde girl quickly stepped around her friend and shouted a quick bye-bye as she began jogging towards the elevator.

"Get to talking Verstappen."

Zara Brooklyn Wolff, aren't you supposed to be sick rn?

I am

Oh really? Then where tf are you because I just came to give you soup and you're not in your room

I'll let you listen to all my unreleased songs if you don't tell my dad.
And who tf let you in my room?

I wasn't but you just snitched on yourself. When your dad said you were sick I was suspicious because you never get sick.
And Dan can't keep his mouth.
It also doesn't help that I live in the same building as Max.
Don't worry though I got him to shut up before he told anyone else.
I'll keep your secret.

Oh shit.
But thank you anyways.
And I will send those songs over, have no worry.
