The next few hours in Daniels room was filled with teasing about maxs hotel room situation which max was ready to hit Daniel over if he didn't let it go, laughter and sharing a beer or two.
Around half 11, max made his way out into the quiet dimly lit hall way and down back to room 15 against his will
He half expected lita the still sleeping from where he had left her since the girl had a habit off sleeping for long periods of time but as max got closer to the hotel door the more the sound of giggling danced the air which confused him. was lita with someone?
Swiping the keycard and pushing down the golden handle, max was greeted by the sight of lita and lando sitting on her hotel bed watching a movie.
The two hadn't seemed to notice him as lita continued to giggle at something lando had said. The sight of them sitting so close and litas legs laying across landos lap caused a bubble of anger and something unfamiliar to make a home in Maxs stomach.
His jaw ticked shut as he swallowed thickly. His fists clenched before unclenching over and over before he finally slammed the hotel door shut causing lando to pause and look over to him and lita to flinch back at the sudden noise. Guilt prickled up max's spine as he watched her flinch.
"Alright mate" lando greeted the Dutchmen happily which only caused him to get a blank stare back in return
Lita watched her team mate at the door quietly. The tension in the air beginning to rise as max shifted his gaze over to her, his eyes flickered from down to the girls legs on landos lap before back up and locking on her eyes.
Lita didn't know why but she felt the immediate need to pull her legs away from their position on Lando's lap, causing lando to look over to the girl slightly confused.
Max continued to stare at the girl before turning to his bed and grabbing something before practically stomping to the bathroom and slamming the door shut. Lita was surprised it didn't snap in half.
The room was filled with silence after the small interaction with max, the two weren't sure what to do now as the tension buried itself deeper in the room
Grabbing the remote, lita paused the hangover two and sat up properly, while lando shuffled off the bed and grabbed his trainers.
"Well that was fun" the sarcasm in litas voice couldn't help but make lando chuckle lightly "he looked as if someone had just murdered his dog"
It was litas turn to laugh as she got up from the bed and stretched gently, her joints feeling stiff from sitting in one position for to long.
She pulled open the hotel door as lando finished putting his jumper on. "Thanks for coming over lando" she smiled brightly while he made his way over
"I couldn't have my favourite redbull driver being bored, now could I lolly?" Lita couldn't help but roll her eyes amused, as he pulled her into a hug
"Goodnight lando" she mumbled against his shoulder before they pulled back "I'll see you later lolly pop" with his boyish grin, lando did a small salut action before walking off.
Closing the white wooden door quietly, lita strolled back to her hotel bed and took a seat again. The only sound that filled the room was the slightly Russelling off clothes in the bathroom.
Lita's mind began to wonder as to why max had given lando the cold shoulder a few minutes ago, they we're friends right?. She was drawn out of her thoughts at the sound of the bathroom lights being switched off and it's door opening.
Max stocked out with only a black t-shirt and boxers on, he was clearly still mad but lita couldn't help let her eyes linger before she daughter herself and looked away. He looked over to her before rolling his eyes and walking over to his bed and placing his clothes back into his suitcase.
With the tension palpable, lita reached over and grabbed the open packet of sugary gummy worms from beside her before looking over to the max. "Gummy worm?"
Looking over to her slightly confused, max was unsure what to do. She couldn't be serious? But the more she say there quietly holding the open packet the more he doubted himself.
Moving around his bed and over to hers slowly, max grabbed one of the little gummy worms while taking a seat on the edge of her bed.
The two sat in silence as he ate, before lita reached over and unpaused the movie. She lay with one arm under a pillow keeping her focus on the tv while feeling max's eyes on her.
He looked away and over to the tv immediately recognising it as the hang over two, one of his favourite movies. Cautiously he shuffled more onto the bed beside lita, both of them laying side by sided with only a small gap between were their hands lay.
As the movie continue, their arms seem to subconsciously pry closer and closer to the other's their pinkies brushing together. Neither of the redbull drivers dared to pull their gaze from the screen
Licking his bottoms lip, max gently moved his hand again to the point his pinkie wrapped around litas small one before stopping. He waited patiently for her to retract her hand back and snap at him, but she didn't.
So they both laid there holding pinkies as the movie continued.
It felt weird.
It felt right.
It shouldn't but it did.
Their pinkies fit perfectly, it almost made lita wonder if their hands would fit together just as well but that was quickly pushed away as the credit scenes rolled on screen and max quickly pulled his hand away from hers and sat up.
He made his way back to his bed without uttering a word while lita turned off the tv.
It was just passed 1 and both needed to be awake early for practise.
The two team mates Laywith their backs to each other surrounded by darkness and the only sound being cars in the distance. Neither could deny the cold feeling in their hand as they drifted of to sleep...
