The Long Lost Sister (F1 x Eurovision)

Chapter 2

Stefania's POV

We were driving to the airport, apparently Max had already packed his bags from beforehand knowing he couldn't stay long. That's when I took the opportunity to get to know Max better.

"So Max, tell me more about yourself?"I questioned.

"Oh right, so I am a formula 1 driver for red bull racing and I have two world championships to my name."He replied.

"Yeah actually, I know about that you see my best friend Luna lives in the Netherlands and she is a huge fan. She speaks about you all the time and I practically know everything about you from a fan's perspective."I replied back as he laughed.

"Well, let me tell you a bit more about my personal life then."He replied.

"Cool bro and by the way you can break the record, you've got my support."I replied referencing to the win streak that he was on.

"Oh thank you so much sis, now I'm even more motivated."He replied laughing.

Soon however, we arrived at the airport and Max parked the car by the rental area where people from Honda were there to pick up the car.

"I hate airports."I mumbled groaning slightly.

"Oh don't worry sis, we're going straight to the plane."He replied.

"What do you mean?"I asked confused.

"There are some perks of being a formula 1 driver, one of them includes having a private jet."He replied as I gasped in shock.

"You're not joking with me."I replied as we walked onto the airstrip.

"No I'm not, look ahead."He replied as I saw a brown and orange jet ahead parked in front of us.

"Oh my god that's so cool."I replied amazed.

"Now come on lets get settled inside and I'll tell you more about me."He replied as I followed him.

Soon we got settled inside the plane and I immediately fell in love with the seats, they were so comfortable. I felt like I could sleep here forever.

"Alright sis, as you know I race under the Dutch flag although I grew up in Belgium and karted all over Europe in my early years. I moved to Monaco a few years ago and I've been living there veer since."He replied.

"Is there a special someone in your life?"I questioned as the plane taxied to the runway.

"Yes I'm dating a Brazilian model, her name is Kelly and she is the daughter of Nelson Piquet who is a three time world champion in formula 1. She is slightly older than me at 32 but we both love each other equally. She lives with me in Monaco along with her daughter Penelope, you'll love her."He replied.

"Wait you're a dad already?"I questioned shocked.

"Yeah sort of, Penelope is like a daughter to me. She isn't my biological daughter but I love her as much as her Dad does. The both of us are pretty cool with each other too, his name is Daniil Kvyat a former Russian F1 driver and Kelly's ex. We are all on good terms so nothing is wrong."He replied as I nodded my head.

"Then there are the two of my best friends, Daniel is an ex teammate of mine and like an older brother to me driving for AlphaTauri. You also have Lando who is like a younger brother to me driving for McLaren."He replied.

"Wow you seem to be enjoying your life, I don't know if I'll fit in."I muttered out, the feeling of self doubt creeping in.

"Hey Stefania, don't think like that you'll fit in perfectly you're family and everyone will love you."He replied giving me a reassuring nod while hugging me.

"Thank you Max that means a lot."I replied feeling better now.

"Now enough about me, tell me more about yourself."He replied waiting in anticipation.

"Well, I have lived most of my life in Greece although I've known most of my life that I'm half Dutch. As soon as I could move out I moved to the Netherlands which is why I have a house there. That is where I met my best friend Luna who is a singer."I replied as he nodded.

"I am also fluent in Dutch having learnt the language a when I was younger."I replied back while smiling.

"Wait you know Dutch?"He replied back shocked.

"Ja, ik kan in het Nederlands spreken broeder."I replied back in Dutch giving him a thumbs up.

"Dat is geweldig en ik dacht dat ik je Nederlands moest leren."He replied making me laugh.

"Alright so, like Luna I am a professional singer but I'm also an actress and a YouTuber."I replied back.

"That's so cool Stefania and you thought you wouldn't fit in. Tell me more about your career I'm interested now."He replied back making me chuckle.

"Well, in 2016 I was in a girl group in the junior Eurovision Song Contest. We placed 8th for the Netherlands. Then when I turned 18, I got the opportunity to represent Greece for Eurovision in 2020."I replied.

"Oh my god, I'm a huge fan of Eurovision myself but after 2020 I never really got time to watch it since I was busy with driving and fighting for my first championship. It must suck that the contest was cancelled that year due to corona."He replied back.

"Yeah Luna told me about your first championship, winning it on the last lap I was shocked myself and yeah it sucked not to participate but next year I got the chance again. I finished in 10th for Greece."I replied.

"That's amazing sis well done, I feel bad now you know more about my career than I should know about yours."He replied back.

"Oh Max no worries, I only knew you because of Luna so I can't exactly blame you but now we can get to know each other so much better ain't that right bro."I replied as he gave me a fist bump.

"Can you show me both of your Eurovision entries please."He requested.

"Sure Max why not, give me your phone."I replied as he unlocked it and gave it to me.

I went onto Spotify on his phone and started playing my first entry 'SUPERG!RL'. Max loved the song and was vibing the entire time to it. After that I played my 2021 entry 'Last Dance' and sure enough Max was amazed.

"Oh my god sis, you are so good I think you would've done really well in 2020 if the contest occurred and you definitely deserved more than 10th in the grand finals."He replied complimenting me while he added the songs to his playlist.

"That means a lot Max thank you."I replied back as he just smiled.

After about an hour or so we landed back in the Netherlands and were soon on our way back to Max's house. I suddenly felt incredibly nervous about meeting my mom for the first time and Max noticed it.

"Hey sis, I know you must be feeling nervous but don't worry mom is the sweetest ever and I'm sure she would be feeling more nervous. She thought you wouldn't want to come back in the first place."He replied back calming me down.

"I haven't even told her we're back today so it will be a pleasant surprise for her."He replied as we pulled into the driveway.

The both of us walked upto the front door and Max rang the doorbell. This was it I was finally going to meet my real mother.
