The unlikely racer

14 - French love

"Nothing happened" I try to say as confidently as possible to Liam, his face grows even angrier if that is possible.

"Cut the shit and explain, NOW" he yells and I almost laugh but I think he would actually kill me if I did.

"It's just a guy I'm talking to jeez" I say telling the truth.

"Sure cause you kiss guys your just talking to" he says while he starts to drive.

"Well I didn't kiss him thanks to you" I snap and a smile instantly appears on his face.

"Well that's good then, isn't it?" He then starts driving to our hotel.

'Hey sorry about earlier sugar' I text Matt hoping he isn't angry about Liam being a dickwad.

I see him open my message and then leave again, he did NOT just leave ME on delivered!

I throw the phone on the bed dramatically, "thanks for that stunt Liam now he's pissed" I glare at him and he only smiles in response.

"Alright, when are we leaving?" I ask, we are going out for drinks with the guys to celebrate and luckily I won't have to use my definitely legal ID that says I'm 21 because the legal drinking age is 18.

"In about an hour" he replies and I grab my stuff to get ready.

I'm dressed in a plain short and tight black dress, I have jewellery all over me, combat boots and a hat because I don't have time to straighten my hair.

"Come on Cinderella" Liam shouts from outside the bathroom.

"I'm coming! Jesus" I say grabbing my small bag and going to Liam.

His jaw drops instantly and going into protective brother mode, "go change, now" he instructs but I stick my tongue out and walk out the door grabbing the car keys on the way.

"Come on Cinderella" I yell back with a wicked smirk on my face and twirling the keys with my finger in the air.

We go to a somewhat quiet pub and are greeted by the guys, there are only around ten other groups here.

"So what guy are we beating up Amelia?" One of the guys asks and I dramatically put my head in my hands and glare at Liam.

"I'm literally going to murder you, on god" I spit at him but we all shake it off with a few laughs before floating into normal conversation.

"So this is actually our first time hanging out together, huh?" I think out loud and the other guys agree.

"Yeah, we're already so close" we all smile at the late night memories we have all made in the garage whilst fixing or upgrading the car.

"Cheers to chosen family!" I say whilst holding up my half drank beer, they all follow suit and we take sips in unison.

We are having the time of our lives until another familiar group walks in, none other than the Haas crew.

I scan the crowd and thankfully don't see Anthony, I know he's dumb but he can put two and two together. If he saw me with the guys and knew I used to race in karts he would assume I am Maxx.

My relief doesn't last long when I lock eyes with familiar blue ones that are filled with anger.

This makes me infuriated, he leaves ME on delivered and he's the pissed one? Hell no.

I turn around not giving him anymore attention, "it's the blonde prick, isn't it?" Liam asks referring to Matt as all the others had brown hair.

I simply nod and I see him glaring bullets at Matt and I let him because he honestly deserves it.
