Forever Yours

Chapter 8

I stare into the eyes of the gorgeous man in front of me. After all that happened these last couple of days, he has been nothing but sweet to me. I have no idea what he see's in me, but I'm grateful to be the one standing in front of him right now.

So without another thought, I go up on my toes and kiss him.

His lips feel soft against mine. It's slow and gentle, not what I expected at all. After a couple of seconds, he pulls away.

"I didn't know you were that into me?" He says with a smirk.

"I'm filled with many surprises Mr. Verstappen," I say biting my lip as I look up at him with a grin. "Would you lik-"

"Mamma!" Jules says as he runs up to the door. Shit.

I snap out of my trans and turn to look at my son who is running up to the glass door.

"Amore!" I say with a smile as I crouch down to pick him up into a massive bear hug.

"How was your dinner, Mamma?" He says with a smile and turns to Max, "Did you like the new restaurant?"

"The restaurant was great, little man," Max says as he ruffles Jules' hair.

"How was your night?" I ask him

"It was kind of boring." He says while scrunching up his face.

"Sebastian made pasta and then we played video games for a while, but then he fell asleep. I think he's getting old." Max and I laugh at his comment.

"Why don't you go wake him up for me? Ok, amore? I'm going to say goodbye to Max and then I'll meet you up there." I say as I put him down.

"Ok. Bye, Max," Jules says as Max gives him a high five.

"Bye, little man." He says with a smile. We watch as Jules walks back inside and runs up the stairs.

"I'm sorry about that. I thought he would be asleep by now. He doesn't usually stay up this late." I say with a nervous laugh.

"Don't worry about it. He's a cute kid." He says with a smile.

"Would you like to come in? We can have a drink or something?" I say pointing towards the door.

"No, it's ok. I have a flight in the morning so I should probably get back to my hotel and start packing. Thank you though, really." He says with a sincere smile.

"Oh, ok. Yeah totally, that makes sense." I say with a nervous laugh. I forgot he left tomorrow. I wonder when he'll be around here again.

"I'll text you later, ok?" He says as he leans in for another kiss. He lingers on my lips for a few moments and smiles. "Oh, how I wish I had all the time in the world with you right now. Goodbye, schat." He says before pulling away.

"Goodnight, Max," I say before he walks away and heads toward his car.

I walk into the living room and see Jules swinging a pillow at a sleeping Sebastian, who is on the couch.

"Get up, get up, get up, get up!" He shouts while repeatedly hitting Sebastian over the head. He huffs and throws the pillow on the ground. I see as he scans the room but stops when he sees a book on the coffee table. He gets up to grab the book and walks back toward Sebastian. He raises the book over his head as I realize what he is about to do.

"Jules no!" I shout as I run towards him and hold my hands out, trying to stop him. He puts the book down and looks at me.

"Oh, I didn't see you." He says nonchalantly.

"Jules, you can't hit people with books. That hurts." I say ignoring what he said. "What were you thinking?"

"You told me to wake him up, so that's what I'm trying to do. Duhh." He says as if it was obvious. "But I don't think he is sleeping, I think he is dead." He says as he pats Sebastian over the shoulder.
