Pretending | Max Verstappen

- 13 -

Zoe

"It makes a difference, you are the difference."

I had to laugh at his comment because it was just too funny how he took every chance to make me feel bad.

"Yeah because I am nobody and you can insult me without any consequences. 'Cause I'm just your fake girlfriend and nobody cares."

"That's not true."

"Yeah right the consequences would be that Christian and Raymond will be mad at you if you blow up this whole thing and you couldn't do that because you love them too much."

"Can you stop?" Verstappen now said a bit calmer but my anger just came up.

"You can't tell me what to do because I don't belong to you, even I am your fake girlfriend. You know what, fuck this whole thing."

"Zoe."

"Fuck this, fuck this whole pretending and relationship thing. What could happen oh yeah I will probably lose my job but that's better than being with you for another minute and you know what, you will"

I couldn't continue as I was cut off by his lips on mine. So much exploded inside myself and I couldn't describe the feeling. But before I could reply the kiss his lips were gone.

"If that's the only way to stop you from talking." he started and laughed.

But I didn't care what he was doing or why he did it I just knew that I wanted that feeling back, the feeling of his lips on mine so I put my hands in his neck and pulled him closer again. Clearly surprised Verstappen gasped but didn't break away as I laid my lips back on his.

With all our anger from the last hour, no from the last weeks we kissed each other passionately and when he bit my lower lip I had to groan. This sound made Verstappen put his hands on my hips and he set me on the table behind.

Immediately I missed his body against mine and wrapped my legs around his waist to pull him back to me, our lips still connected. His hands on my lower back pulled me also closer and I opened my mouth as I felt his tongue against my lips. 

He groaned into the kiss when I started pulling his hair slightly. I had never heard a more beautiful sound and the moment was perfect, except that it was Max Verstappen that was kissing me but somehow I didn't care.

"Max, are you ready, can we go through the data?" Suddenly a voice was in front of the door and a knock teared us apart.

I took Verstappens surprise to quickly jump off the table and leave the room. His race engineer was luckily nowhere to see so I could sneak out unseen. Still confused with what had happened in the drivers room I ran through the paddock and nearly crashed into Lando.

"Zoe what"

He stopped talking as I pulled him on his arm between the garages where nobody could see or hear us.

"I... We... He kissed me." I managed to say while the Brit was still looking confused.

"Who, this Alex from the sponsoring thing you told me last night about? Did you actually meet?"

Now I was the confused one but then remembered the dude from yesterday who I hadn't called until now.

"No. Verstappen."

"You and Max kissed?!" Lando shouted and I panicked for a second and looked around but luckily nobody had heard it.

"Please don't be so loud. And he kissed me." I said before looking to the ground, "and maybe I kissed him back."

"You what?" the McLaren driver said not quieter then before which was why I gave him a warning look and he quickly apologized.

"Max kissed you and you kissed him back, am I hearing it right?"
