It takes more than that - Max Verstappen ff

5.

I woke up from my long lasting sleep and his hoodie immediately came into my mind again. Why was I so stupid and acting like a teenage girl? I decided to get him off my mind, even if it seemed hard after yesterday. But I got to remind myself everyday that he is in a relationship. I took of his hoodie and threw it in the corner of my room and put on a hoodie which was actually mine. Well, not exactly, I stole it from Lando a few years ago but it doesn't bother him at all. I walked into the kitchen to make myself some food and noticed Lando already sitting on the kitchen counter, waiting for his coffee to be ready. "Good morning." I said to him. "Morning, sleepyhead." he replied. The toasts also came out of the toaster. I stole them and put some cheese and ham on it. "Hey! Those were mine!" Lando said to me. "Gotta be faster than that." I looked at him with a smile. I sat down on the chair and poured some orange juice into my glass. Lando sat next to me with his mouth full. "Well, I wanted to ask you something." he said with his stuffed cheeks and crumbs coming out of his mouth. "Go on..." I laughed. "You know, Hungary is next week and I still don't know if you're coming with me or not. I don't want to seem pushy or anything but it's a great feeling having someone you care about with you who supports you. But if you decide to say no I-" "I'm coming with you." I interrupted him. "Wait.. really?" he asked. "Yeah, really." I smiled. He looked at me with big eyes and a wide smile and hugged me. "Why didn't you say this earlier and what even changed your mind, I thought you didn't wanna 'depend' on me." "I don't know, I think I just liked the atmosphere, how everyone was nice to me at the garage and the races are incredibly great to watch in person." I replied to him. Of course those weren't my only reasons. But I couldn't mention it, obviously. I want to see him again. I promised myself 30 minutes ago that I wouldn't obsess over him like I used to, like a teenage girl, but he kept getting into my head. Clearly not my fault.
"That's great. I'm happy that you like the people around me." Lando said with a smile. "What I also wanted to mention is that the drivers, who are based here in Monaco are having a little party before we fly to Hungary, so feel free to attend, this is your verbal invitation." he added. "Oh really? I would love to come, when is it?" I looked at him. "We all wanted to meet today at 8pm at the high club downtown. We could drive there together." he said. "Bet." I replied.

I was kind of excited to go to the club because firstly, I have never been to that club and secondly, I didn't know if he was going to be there or not. But since Lando said all drivers based in Monaco will be there, I figured he will come too, which made me even more nervous.
It was already 7pm and I didn't have much time left to get myself look pretty. I took a quick shower and dried my hair. After, I was looking for a perfect dress, which took at least 10 minutes. A black, tight satin dress. Perfect. I stumbled back into the bathroom and put some make up on. Eyeliner and black eyeshadow. I then curled my hair a little bit and put earrings and a necklace on. I smiled at myself in the mirror and walked back to my room to get my high heels. When I was finished I walked into the living room and saw Lando already sitting there in a suit. It was an expensive, VIP club, so you had to be dressed properly. He looked at me. "You look absolutely amazing, sis." He smiled. "Thank you, don't look too bad either." I replied. He got up and walked towards the door as I followed him.

As we got into the car he instantly connected his phone with the car speakers and he loudly started singing along to the song playing: "...it's Saturday, Sunday, what?" I laughed at him. We quickly got to the bar as the traffic wasn't too bad and Monaco wasn't too big.
When we got out of the car I already saw Charles getting out of his Ferrari. We walked towards him and greeted him. "Hey wassuppp?" he smiled at me and hugged me. "About to get drunk." I laughed. "That's the spirit!" Lando replied to me. All three of us walked inside the club and it wasn't too empty. Quite a lot of people for such an expensive club. We walked past them and reached the VIP area, Daniel and Max already sitting there. My heart dropped when I saw him and gave me a smile. I smiled back at him and we sat down, me sitting between Charles and Lando. Daniel ordered some Long Island Ice Tea's for us, as they are insanely strong and we all wanted to get a little relaxed. When a bartender gave us the 5 drinks, Max instantly took a sip and slightly squinted his eyes, meaning they were as strong as promised. I also took a sip and copied Max. We all talked with each other until a few minutes later Lando requested to play a drinking game. "I'm down for that." Charles said, causing Daniel and me to nod. "Oh yeah definitely, what game?" Max asked. "I was thinking maybe truth or dare, a classic." Lando replied. "Okay, I start... Charles.. truth or dare?" Max looked at Charles. "Truth." "Uhhmm.. what's your body count." "Oh come on." He smiled and and rather chugged his glass than answer that question. We all looked at him. "Can't answer this in front of a lady guys." he smirked, Max looked at him with kind of a death stare. We kept playing and playing and drinking and drinking as I suddenly felt more tipsy. Haven't been drinking for a while. I think I was already at my 5th Long Island Ice Tea, not a good thing and I think the others haven't had less and are at least as tipsy as me. Well, Daniel definitely because he spilled half of his drink over his shirt and managed to spill it over Charles as well. Max was talking stupid shit also, so I guess nobody will notice me being not myself anymore.
"Max, truth or dare?" Daniel asked. "Hm.. dare." "Kiss Lora and you'll get a free drink from me." he said. My eyes widened and my cheeks turned red. Did he really just say that? Max won't do it, he has a girlfriend. But what if he does. Suddenly I felt some kind of anxiety. I mean I wanted it, but not under these conditions. "Oh really? You know I can't." Max replied. "Ayo, hands of my sister." Lando said jokingly. "Whatever." Max said as he got up and almost fell. He took a step around the table to get closer to me and squeezed himself between me and Charles. "A kiss on the cheek, eh?" Max asked. "You know what I mean dude!" Daniel looked at him. Then Max grabbed my chin and kissed me on the cheek. I could feel my cheeks burn. "Boo.. boring." Daniel yelled. "Oh come on man, that's at least half a drink." Max smiled. "Meh.. I'll think about it." He kept sitting next to me and we continued the game. But I wasn't quite paying attention, my mind always wandered off. I could hear the others yelling and laughing as they kept playing the game. "Lora!!" Charles said and snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Hm?" "Truth or dare?" "Dare." "Well, now for you, kiss Max." "Hm, half a drink if I do it on his cheek, nothing we haven't done before." I said confidently and turned towards him. I closed my eyes and my head wandered to his cheeks, when I felt lips and not his cheek. I opened my eyes immediately and realized what happened. "Bro, so not cool. That wasn't her task." Max looked angrily at Charles who apparently forced Max's head to the side so i'd kiss his lips. I couldn't say a word. I felt bad for Max, and also for myself. I didn't want to do this. But now I couldn't change it anyway, so I guess the least I could do is accept it and play it cool.
I uncomfortably picked the next person to choose truth or dare and we kept playing. An hour later we were all completely hammered and decided to call a cab. When It came we realized it only had 4 seats but we were 5 people. "So what we gon' do now?" Charles asked as he almost fell. Lando got onto the front passenger seat and Max, still pissed at Charles, in the left back already. Us three just stood there as Daniel said: "Just go on his lap, literally no one cares and we all want to go home. I don't even care on which ones let Max and Charles fight over it, but just not mine." He laughed. To he honest, I was just doing what they told me because I couldn't think straight anymore and couldn't make my own decisions. I got into the cab and Max pulled me a bit closer halfway sitting on his lap, as Charles sat down in the middle and Daniel to the right of him. I was now sitting on Max with one leg and with the other on Charles. I didn't notice anything from the ride. I just woke up still fully dressed in my bed the next morning, still slightly tipsy.
