22nd March:

"I used to think I was smart but you made me look so naive!" I sang along to Vampire Olivia Rodrigo at the top of my lungs, if I'm angry, music is the only thing that helps me feel sane.

My apartment is pretty large, I live in the biggest apartment complex in Monaco, but it's cosy and homey. The windows on one wall stretch the entire height and showcase the beautiful sunset Monaco has to offer.

I climbed up on top of my kitchen island, my hairbrush acting as a microphone, "As you sunk your teeth into me, oh, bloodsucker FAMEFUCKER! Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire!"

My hair was up and out of my face, pyjamas on despite the fact it was only five, truth be told, I hadn't changed since I got here last night. And better yet, I didn't care, "And every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad news!"

I continued on singing, one of the highlights of my apartment is privacy, "You called them crazy! God I hate the way-

My phone began vibrating in my oodie pocket, cutting me and my sing song time, sighing I pulled my phone out and scanned over the Home Screen wondering if Adam finally was ready to mature and apologise.

but no.

"What the fuck?" I mumbled to myself watching the screen as if anything was going to change.

Not only do I seemingly have a rude ass neighbour, I have a stalker one too, I don't give out my number willingly so that's a worry, "I'm going to have to change my number." I mumbled turning my music back on, fair enough, I did have a speaker on full blast.

"I've made some real big mistakes! But you make the worst one look fine! I should've known it was strange you only come out at night!" I continued, trying to drown my sorrows in something other than alcohol but rather my horrendous singing voice.

Then like always, I was cut off, it was like Adam was in the room! The knocking on the door was obnoxiously loud to the extent that I began to worry my presumed neighbour had called the police or placed a noise complaint, I turned my music off immediately, wandering towards the door.

I got up onto my tip toes, eyes going to the peephole mentally preparing myself to see a sea of cops but in fact, it was more shocking, I uncooked the door instantly "Max?"

"Olivia?" He asked, though it wasn't really a question because we were face to face and I am in fact Olivia.

His brows were raised, the confusion sprawled across his face, "Do you and uh Adam live here?" His arms were crossed across his chest, mr max verstappen, future world champion was at my door step.

I shook my head, suddenly conscious of the fact I had my pyjamas on and ratty hair, "No I don't live here, well I do, obviously, but uh no."

He chuckled a little, "Yeah I doubted it, I would have noticed, So you're here for fun? You enjoy pestering neighbours often?"

"Something like that."

"Does Danny know your here?" He asked his eyes turning there focus from me to the surrounding apartment.

"Does it matter?" I asked.

"Uh I guess not." He shrugged, it was awkward, that much was undeniable. He's just stood in my doorway staring at me, and it seems I haven't got the right words to say anything.

"Look, do you wanna come in?" after I get dressed.

——————

And that's how we ended up here, max Verstappen is sat on my couch in my Monaco apartment, watching the movie cars purely because I wanted a drivers take on it and Daniel refused to watch a movie that reminded him so much of work.

whatever that means.

"Sooo thoughts?" I asked him, the entire duration he didn't say a word. He sat silently watching metres away from me.

"That you're unhinged if that's your favourite movie." He commented, not an ounce of sarcasm in his voice he sounds so serious all the time.

"Oh okay so what's your favourite huh?" I asked turning my attention to him as I sat cross legged facing him.

He shrugged "I don't know, don't have one."

"So you don't like music or films, you're a very interesting man Max. What exactly do you like?" I commented crossing my arms too.

He shook his head instantly "You make it sound like I'm allergic to fun, I enjoy music and films just not your ones. Besides, you know I like pool."

I raised a brow, "Do I know that?"

Then it dawned on Max, two nights ago, after one of the worst races of his life he had the best evening of his life, spent mostly with Olivia Ricciardo and a pool table. And she remembered none of it.

"Don't worry about it." He shrugged, making her giggle in response, the sweetest sound he thought, she had a nice laugh, "You should smile more you know."

"I smile plenty when I'm blasting my music and singing my heart out, but you don't get to see that side of me, grumpy neighbour."

He raised a brow "Oh so I'm grumpy neighbour now? What ever happened to Maxie moo?" He laughed, oh god his laugh, it does things to me.

"Maxie moo?" I laughed in response, what the hell was he on about, "Oh my god, I called you that didn't I?" I laughed the realisation flooding back to me and now I understand the outburst from Adam yesterday.

"Hey hey, what happened you look sad now." Max admitted, inching closer to me slightly.

"Nothing," I lied a little smile on my face "You have just made my day a lot better, that's all."
