Beyond the Limit

"What do you long for?" The question echoed through her head. She was so caught off guard that she froze in place and her mind began to race trying to understand what she had just been asked. There she sat in front of her brothers and best friend completely zoned out trying to find what to say but she didn't know herself. Lando put his hand on her head and swirled it around to get her attention which only earned him a smack to the shoulder since now the girl felt dizzy.

"Earth to fricking Geovanni! You there mate?" She looked over at Lando and he could tell by her expression she was completely out of it.

"Yea i just don't know what to say to that." The boys laughed and she joined in hoping they'd move on from the topic. Max however continued to look at his little sister and he could read her like a book, he knew the question picked under her skin because of that she had to deal with since she was a child up until now. They continued to talk about anything and everything until Marc brought up Geovanni's transition to Formula 1 this upcoming season. Geovanni was formally in Formula 2 for over 3 years with ART racing as a Redbull junior but with complications on how to bring her to Formula 1 they choose to give her up to Mercedes so she'd get the chance to compete but Geovanni felt betrayed given the fact she had been with Redbull since her karting days. Mercedes is bringing her on for the new season 2018 as their second driver and she couldn't be more excited about the fact she'd be in Formula 1 but racing alongside Lewis.

"So you had your seat fitting last week, how was it?" Marc spoke up and Geovannis face lit up instantly. She was so excited to be racing with such a great team like Mercedes she wanted to rant all day about it.

"It was the best thing ever, they greeted me with so many people and all these signs were hung up for me. They had my suit and helmet displayed next to the chasis of the car and even made a small version for Astro." Max smiled over the excitement Geovanni had. He knew better than anyone the things she had to go through to get to this point and he couldn't be more proud and excited. The 4 continued to converse in her living room until Astro her 3 year old son came running in with his jacket and shoes in hand causing them all to stop and look at him as he threw himself to the floor to put them on, Geovanni gave him a confused face and so amused she called to him.

"Astro why are you putting on shoes?." The toddler looked over at his mom with an annoyed face as he got up after finishing his task, walking over to her he stood arms crossed and Lando couldn't help but laugh at his Godson.

"Mummy, Charles is coming to get me remember!" Geovanni mentally rolled her eyes. Charles Leclerc the man she most despised, when the two were younger they always had a rivalry after he crashed into Max and blamed Max for the "inchident". He picked up a rivalry with her over something she didn't do, in her eyes he kicked the wrong Verstappen to have a rivalry with. When Geovanni found out she was pregnant with Astro and told her then boyfriend Ethan the news he choose to walk out of her life but when Charles found out he was infuriated by the fact that Ethan wouldn't man up and take responsibility over his son. From then on he declared that Astro was in fact his son, he even went to the extent of asking Geovanni permission to sign papers of adoption to legally declare him his son. She was hesitation but her stepfather told her the story of how he too decided to the the same before even marrying her mother and that eventually led her to agree. The two still have some sort of hatred for each other but for Astro they set it aside because they don't want him to have that image in his head.

"oh that's right i'm sorry, he should be here soon." As if he was waiting for her to admit it out in the open the door rang of the condo and all the boys laughed knowing they were in for an amusing interaction. Geovanni got up to get the door while the boys finished getting Astros stuff ready for his weekend. Reaching the door she let out a small breath and opened the door to reveal an already smirking Charles and she immediately rolled her eyes. He only stared at her. That damn smirk she thought.
