"Tell me why we are here again?" I said as I let my head lean on my hand. It was such a boring event. It wasn't really an event if I was honest. It was just a dinner with some people with lots of money.
"Because you owed me something and I had to be here for some reason" I could tell Max was bored too. "And why is Christian looking at us the entire time?" I said as I looked at Christian. He was sitting on another table with Helmut but I guess he would rather sit with us by the looks of it. "Honestly who knows, maybe he likes you" he nudged me a little as he laughed.
It could be the perfect time to ask if he liked me but I didn't want to make it awkward. Why did Lexi tell me he liked me? I wish she never did.
"Hey, it was a joke. Are you okay?" He quickly stopped laughing, he probably noticed I didn't think it was funny. "I'm just bored" I shrugged my shoulders. I wish I stayed at my room with Luna and maybe with Lando too. He could always make me laugh.
"Then let's get out of here" he said as he got up and grabbed my hand. He pulled me with him to Christian and Helmut. "We are leaving, but we'll see you tomorrow" he said and they both nodded before whispering something to each other.
We weren't bothered by it, we just walked out.
We were just walking through the streets after getting ice cream. We talked about the upcoming races and stuff but I knew there were a lot of unspoken things between us.
"So what is the reason Lando and you broke up?" I hated that question, mainly because I couldn't really give an answer to that.
It wasn't one specific reason, we didn't cheat, he never hurt me. "Sometimes love just isn't enough" it was the best explanation I could give. He nodded in agreement. I guess that's what happened between him and Kelly as well.
"I think we both want the best for Luna but we were having so many fights lately, mostly about me taking this job" He supported me in the beginning but it bothered him so much. He just couldn't understand why I wanted to make Max champion but it wasn't about that, I loved this job and making him champion was just a result of that.
"And did you have a proper talk about that?" he asked, I shrugged my shoulders. "I tried, but it ended in a fight every time." Mostly because he blamed me for the fact that he threw the championship away, but I wasn't gonna tell Max that, he didn't need to know.
"Can we go back? I'm tired" I was honestly also tired of this conversation. I didn't want to talk about Lando, I didn't want to think about him.
Max walked me back to my room and then I said something I wish I didn't. "Do you maybe want to stay with me tonight?" Why did I ask that? Why did I feel the need to have him by my side?
"Sure yeah" he clearly didn't expect this. I could hear that because his voice cracked a little.
We crawled in bed together and he cuddled me the entire night. We didn't do anything, we didn't kiss, we didn't have sex. We just cuddled and that was everything I needed right now. I never expected to be in someone else's arms, I always thought I would be Lando for the rest of my life but I guess I was wrong.
As I was laying on his chest, I could hear his heartbeat. It was going fast. Lexi was right, he actually liked me but did I like him too?
Was I starting to fall for Max? Or did I just feel safe with him?
