Being back home in Spain was a bit weird to her. She hadn't visited her home country for the whole year she had been in England. Carlos had surprised her with the whole family on Christmas in London and on her birthday, so she had seen her family a few times. Luckily they had a house in Barcelona, so she didn't need to stay at a hotel. Mary and Lando had insisted to stay at one though, Lucia was sure it was because of company they might wanted to bring over. Nether the less she was happy to be back in Spain, with her brother.

Friday hadn't been very special. Practice 1 and 2 had gone smooth for the both Redbull's, as well as for her brother and Lando and the team had given her the Saturday off to be able to watch qualifying relaxed from the garage.

Right now she was filming a challenge for the media team, with Checo, Danny and Max. It was pretty hard for her, since the three of them were behaving like 12 year old boys. Well more like Danny and Max. Lucia was happy that Max was smiling so much around Daniel, but it was making her job more and more difficult and she was scared Charles was going to see her having fun with Max and her slight chances of talking to him, would be completely gone.

"Guys, come on, I'm getting hungry. Let's try one more time. Checo, you do the intro, Max explain the challenge and Danny you start" She explained for the fourth time.

Finally they did manage to stay serious more or less, when Danny started calling Lucia over. The challenge was to fill the glass until it was completely full and the boys had already poured more than enough water into it. All of them we're holding two glasses.

"Come over here Lu, we can't tell, is it full enough?"  Danny asked.

She giggled a bit as she walked over to the table, now being in the video.

"I think, you're good guys"  she said shaking her head.

"You sure?"  Max asked walking up to her and then pouring a whole glass over her.

She gasped at the contact of the cold water, as she grabbed one glass out of Checo's hand and poured it right back at Max. They both ran out of the video, while Checo luckily did the outro. Peter was going to be mad at this one. Lucia prayed she wouldn't have to retake everything.

"Can we talk?" Max asked her, while she was taking down all her filming equipment .

"Yeah sure, You alright? Feeling better then last week?"  she asked.

"Yeah, with Daniel around it's better" he replied, following her back inside the Redbull quarters, where Lucia had a locker to put her stuff in.

"I just wanted to thank you in person for last week and for not, shutting me off completely" he said, grabbing her arm, to stop her from continuing to pack her stuff.

Truth to be told, Lucia was trying to distract herself and not give Max any opportunities to come closer to her. She could tell by the look in his eyes, this was going to be more then just a thank you.

"No worries, just don't do it again"  she said sincerely, grabbing her bag and taking off her Redbull cap.

"Please look at me"

So she looked into the cold blue eyes, which she was getting to know better and better by day. Suddenly he pulled her into him and hugged her tight. She was a bit surpised by the sudden move, but slowly hugged back. It wasn't very typical of him to be this touchy, at least not sober. He slowly started pulling away again, but kept one arm wrapped around her waist.

"What are you doing tonight? Maybe I can thank you with dinner"  he said, slightly smiling.

Lucia was a bit confused with his mood swings. How was it possible to get super angry Max and then a week later super nice Max? She didn't really know what to think about it, but she didn't really feel like spending more time with him alone.
