Pov off

Two weeks pass in a hush. They've met a couple of times to get to know each other better. Max's summer break was now over so it was now time to go to the first race after the break. He and Joanne decided she would meet him only on Sunday since she had to work. And that's what she did.

Joanne's pov

I arrived at Belgium 🇧🇪 earlier in the morning because the race started at 3pm and I still had to find a way to get there. Now I regret not accepting max's helicopter to take me there. But it is what it is. After a long train and a bus ride I finally arrived.
On my way to the circuit I started to think about Charles and the fact that I haven't told him anything about me and Max. I felt bad. What will he think when he sees me, he knows I never come to races. Well I decided to invent something when time came. I'm so stupid sometimes.
I arrived at the circuit and enter to the paddock and headed straight to the redbull garage. My eyes met his and he instantly smiled and come to me.
"Hello beautiful, I'm glad you arrived in time I thought you were lost" he said laughing and mocking me. He then gave me a kiss on the cheek way to close to my mouth. And smile.
"Well...that's not very far from reality" I laughed "after some challenging train and bus rides I'm here" she laughed.
"Yeah gladly. So I'm giving you these headphones and you can stay in the garage or you can be upstairs in the balcony. What do you want.?
"I rather be upstairs so I can see the start and more important the finish" i blinked at him.
"Yeah I'm starting p14 but I'm winning this for you I promise. Anyway when you want you just follow the stairs to the balcony and you'll get there. You can eat, drink. Whatever you like." He said to me.
He came even closer to me and pulled one of my hair that was falling to my face and said "have fun baby, we will celebrate tonight" and give me another promising kiss on the cheek. I blush and smiled.
"Well first I'm gonna meet Charles and wish him good luck" I said
"Okay you do that, anything you need just ask"
"Okay thank you max.
I left the building and went to search my friend Charles in the Ferrari garage and I did and he saw me and he immediately give me a question look and came to me.
"Joanne!! What are you doing here" he hugged me he continued not letting me talk " I'm so happy you came to surprise me!! I could've arrange things you just need to tell me first" he said very fast but still with a questioning look to me.
Omg, im so screwed. How am I gonna break the news to my friend. I mean we've been best friends for so long and I never visit him at his races, not even Monaco one's and I just came to watch his opponents. I mean me and max were just getting to know eachother. I'm such a great friend.
"Hey Charles, well.. actually someone else invite me to come to the race I decided to. Hope you don't get mad.
"Who was it!?" He said curious. I looked at him not sure if I should tell me. I mean me and max were nothing yet. "Who was it Jo? What are you hidding from me?"
"Well, it was your friend Max" I said, and he gave me that Charles look the typical I don't know any max. "Which Max, we don't have any Max friend in common"
"Don't be dumb Charles, Max Verstappen"
He looked surprised at me
"Why did Max invite? Oh that day in cafe, I thought you left little monkey" he smiled
"Well we've talking but not anything else" I said wanting to end the subject right away.
"Sure, already coming to races tells me otherwise" he squizze my cheek in a cute way.
"Stop it Charles, we're nothing I'm telling you" I said in a serious tone.
"Okay but promise me if something happens tell me. I want you to be happy more than anything" he said in a bother tone "and Max is actually a very nice guy. Everyone portraits him as a bad boy but he is very cool guy, very focus, and very lovely" he said.
"That I can agree he's been very kind to me" I said blushing. He laughed because of my embarrass. I gave him a little punch on the arm
"Ouch are you trying to injure me? Already helping your "friend" Max" he said pretending to be offended. I laughed "of course not you're still my favourite boy"
"Sure let's see when will it last" he said laughing
"You're so mean Charles" I laughed too
"Anyway I have to go Jo, the race will start in a couple of minutes"
I gave him a last hug and wish him good luck.
I went straight to the redbull balcony to get ready to the start of the race.
