Secrets with Wolff - Max Verstappen

37.

My mom and dad were setting the table. My dad wasn't too excited about Max joining us but he agreed to it anyway.
I sat down on the couch waiting for Max to arrive. I was kind of nervous, he wasn't my boyfriend so I didn't really know how to act around him.

The doorbell rang and I got up quickly. I opened the door and there he was. He was dressed in all black, holding flowers in one hand. He looked very handsome. "Hi Ryls, you look beautiful" he put his hand on my back, giving me a kiss on my cheek.
"Thanks Max, you look handsome as well" it wasn't a lie, he definitely dressed to impress my mom.
"Let him get inside Rylee" my mom pushed me out of the way and opened the door even more.
"Hi Paulina, thanks for inviting me" he offered her the flowers and I saw her face lit up.
We all walked inside. My heart was beating in my chest as I saw my dad walking up to us. "So you must be Max, I'm David" my dad looked him up and down, shaking his hard firmly. "Nice to meet you David. You have a lovely house" He smiled.
He clearly knew how to deal with pressure because he seemed very calm on the outside, but I knew he must be dying on the inside.

The dinner went well. My dad asked him a lot of questions about Red Bull and racing, my mom on the other hand was more interested in his family and our relationship. I told her so many times already that we weren't dating.

"Rylee can you help me in the kitchen?" My mom looked at me. I nodded and got up, grabbing some dishes to bring to the kitchen.
We both walked into the kitchen, I saw her smiling at me. "What's wrong mom?" I rolled my eyes at her. "I really like him, I just don't understand why you won't give him another chance" she said and I sighed. I wanted to give him another chance but I wasn't sure if he still liked me.
"It's not that easy mom, I'm not sure if he likes me" My mom just started laughing.
"Trust me, if he didn't like you, he wouldn't be here" I just stared ahead of me, she was right.
If he didn't like me, he would never deal with my dad. I walked out of the kitchen and saw him laughing with my dad. I used to be so worried about my dad not accepting Max but it was all for nothing.

I smiled when I sat down next to him. He put his hand on my thigh, squeezing it a little bit.
"I guess I should go, it's already late and I should be fit for tomorrow" Max smiled at all of us, but especially at me.
"You can stay here if you want? We have a spare room" Of course my mom had to make it even more awkward.
"Well.. sure I'm actually pretty tired. Thanks Paulina" Max smiled at my mom and I could swear my dad was smiling too. Was he starting to like Max?

We both walked upstairs, I showed him the spare room where he could sleep. "Your parents are really nice, I like them" he said while looking around. I was nervous, but I had to do something.
I needed to make the first move because I knew he wouldn't do it. I broke his heart before so he was on guard. "Do you maybe want to sleep in my room? With me?" He turned around and looked at me. He nodded quickly and I grabbed his hand, pulling him with me.

As we walked in my room, I saw his eyes trying to take everything in. "So this is where little Ryls grew up? I like it" he was looking at the pictures from when I was little and my books. I used to read a lot of books.
I started taking off my clothes until I was just wearing my panties and bra. He turned around and looked at me, I guess he didn't expect to see me like that.
He didn't say anything, he just sighed. I was so vulnerable right now, but maybe he really wanted to be just friends.

Was this my brilliant idea to win him back? To strip down and stand here? God I hated myself right now.
