Champagne Problems

ᴛᴡᴇʟᴠᴇ- ᴛᴇʟʟɪɴɢ ᴍᴀx

It has been two weeks now since we told Jules that Charles is his father. He and Charlotte have been on vacation, so they didn't see each other again, but him and Jules Facetimed every evening. Jules really enjoys having his father now. I'm feeling very bad for not telling them sooner.

I've been on two other dates with Max. It's going very good. The next race after the summer break is Zandvoort, where we are going tomorrow, Thursday. Jules is already excited. He is happy to see Max driving, but also his father. I haven't told Max yet. I wanted to tell him the last two times, but there wasn't a good timing to tell him.

We already packed our suitcases for the weekend.

„Mama, can we call Papa, please?" Jules asked. We are currently eating dinner

„Yes, after we have finished eating" I told him. We finished eating and pit everything into the dishwasher. We sat down on the sofa.

„Papa" he said into the phone as Charles picked up.

„Salut, little man, ça va?" Charles smiled into the camera.

„Good, I drew today. Do you want to see the picture?" Jules asked.

„Yes I want to. Show it to me, please" Charles answered. Jules got the drawing from the table and came back.

„Look it's you and Charlotte together and Mama and Maxie. I'm in the middle holding yours and Mamas hand. How do you like it?" he showed him the picture.

Charles smile faded a bit

„Wow it's really good. Did you do it all by yourself?"

„Yes, I did it all alone" Jules said proudly.

„What are you doing on the weekend? Are you going to watch the race and support Papa?" Charles asked. Oh no, I forgot to tell him that we're coming.

„Mama and me are coming to Zandvoort. Maxie invited us and he said he will let me sit in his car" he told Charles happily

„What?! I didn't know. Amélie why did you not tell me? I need to know those things" he said upset.

„Baby, can you go into the kitchen for a second?" I asked Jules. He nodded and went to the other room.

„Charles I just forgot to tell you, okay? I'm sorry, but it totally went through my mind" I told him

„Amélie, thats a big thing. I want everyone to know Jules is my son, but not yet. It would bring bad publicity, not just for me but also for you. I don't know how people will react to that. We have to keep him on the low this weekend, okay?" He said.

„Yeah I agree. I try to keep him at Red Bull as much as possible, but he will want to see you" I told him.

„I try to figure something out. I will text you before" he said. I got Jules back in they talked to each other till Jules was tired. I brought him to bed and I got to bed shortly after too. Tomorrow will be an exciting day.

„Mama, we're going to the Netherlands today" Jules woke me up, running into my room.

„I know, baby. We have to get ready, Max will pick us up at 1 p.m." I looked at my phone seeing his message.

„Can we please do Pancakes for breakfast?" he looked at me with his big green eyes.

„Of course, baby" I said getting up.

We got to the kitchen and I prepared the pancakes. I gave him the tablet to play games.

After we ate I got ready and properly dressed. I got into Jules room and started getting him ready too.

„Okay Jules, this is something very important now" I said slowly so he could understand whats going on

„yes?" he asked nervously

„You know that Charles is your Papa, but for now nobody else can know. It would bring him and us in a very bad light and you don't want people to hate your Papa, right? You will see him this weekend, but probably not on the track" I said

„So I can't see Papa on track?" he said getting sad.

„You can see him on the screen at the track. We will be at the Red Bull Garage"

„But I want to see Papa this weekend" he started crying

„Hey baby you will, but not on track you will see him at the hotel" I took him into my arms and hugged him

„Promise me I see Papa" he hold out his pinky finger

„I promise" I linked our fingers together

Shortly after it knocked at the door. I opened it and Jules came running.

„Hey how are you?" Max hugged and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

„Good and you? Excited for your home race?" I let him in

„Yeah I'm good too. I can't wait for the race, I love the fans", he looked at Jules and bent down to him, „hello, little man. Are you excited to see the race?"

„Yes and I will see a race in a garage" he said dreamily

„Yeah you will", he laughed,"I have a little surprise for you, Jules"

„Really? What is it?" his eyes gleam

„Close your eyes first, okay?"

„Okay, they are closed"

Max pulled out a little Red Bull shirt. He is so caring for Jules. This is so sweet.

„Open you eyes" he said. Jules did as Max said.

„Is this for me?" Jules asked

„Yes it is" Max said

„Thank you so much, Maxie" he said happily and hugged him

„Its no problem Jules. We should get your things downstairs"

We grabbed all our stuff and brought them to the car. I buckle up Jules as Max put our suitcases into the trunk.

We started driving.

„Are you ready for this? Many people will look at us and the media is going to be cruel" Max said

„Yeah, I think I got this" I told him. He put his and on my thigh and smiled.

After 30 minutes we arrived at the airport where we met his teammate and his wife and kids. He introduced us all and we started getting on the privat jet.

At the first hour of the flight I talked to Carola while watching the kids.

„So how did you meet Max? Give me every detail" she said. I laughed and told her the story.

Checo came to see the kids and that was my timing to go back to Max. He smiled as he saw me and removed the things on the seat next to him. I sat down and he put an arm around me. I snuggled into his chest.

„Are you tired?" he asked me and I just nodded.

„Try to sleep a bit we have around one hour left to flight" he said and gave me a kiss on my head. I went into a light sleep for the rest of the flight.

We arrived in Amsterdam and got driven to our hotel. We had a hotel room with an extra room for Jules.

Jules fell asleep on the way to the hotel.

„Christian can't wait to meet Jules tomorrow" Max said as we settled in and put Jules into bed.

„Jules hasn't shut up all week talking about how he will sit in your car" I said laughing.

„He will have a good weekend" he said.

„Max, I really need to tell you something. I want to tell you now, because I'm scared it will get out of control and he will tell you himself" I blurted out

„Okay you're making me scared" he said as he pulled me closer by my hips.

„Uhm Jules father its uhm its Charles" I said slowly

He just stared at me. No emotion on his face

"What?!"
