___________________________________________________________

You have been friends with Max for? You can't even remember. He has always been here at your side since you can remember. You spent most of your childhood together. He's your best friend, and you're happy to have him by your side.

You've had ups and downs like any friendship, but lately, something has changed. He has changed.

He seems shyer and less sure of himself in your presence, or so you feel. You were with him at almost every race when he started formula one. You have been by his side, in his many relationships, but you never had hoped to be one of them. Max has always seemed inaccessible to you in love.

Maybe because you know him by heart, and so does he.

Sometimes you wake up crying at night, wishing he was still, here, with you, and not halfway around the world. It's weird because you've always been closer to being a couple than best friends.

You know you slept in the same bed, and you're always stuck together when you see each other. How you look at yourself is indescribable to others. It often made you think of this sentence in the children book; the Little Prince « On voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.» Well, your heart may be open, but the Baobab completely clogs your eyes.

Year after, your work finally got the better of your circuit visits, and you distanced yourself from each other without ever really losing touch.

You don't really talk to each other anymore. You send messages occasionally to express the absence each other left in your lives.

He wrote to you a few days before the Monaco Grand Prix to offer to see you for a few days so you could see each other. You accepted without hesitation. Perhaps out of madness or out of love, but you jumped on the first train to the principality of Monaco.

You arrived early in the morning at the station. What were you doing? You start having doubts about being here. With your bag in your hand, you got out in the street of Monaco.

You didn't even know exactly where he lived. Now, everything sounds like a big mistake, and you start worrying about everything. You're walking in the street, not knowing where to go, when you hear a voice calling your name.

You turn around to see.

"Daniel! Oh my god, it's been ages. How are you?" You ask while walking toward him.

"Am perfectly fine. But I better ask you. You have been around for a long time." He hugs you warmly, and you smile at his touch.

Daniel has always been this sunlight. It's like he's the sun everywhere he goes, and we are just planets orbiting around him. When you first came to races, Daniel was the first one to welcome you with a huge smile and some chocolate cookies. Well, they weren't for you, but he offered anyway.

"Yeah, I was very busy with my job..."

"Oh right, what are you doing exactly?"

"I am an engineer for NASA."

"That's dope! Well, I'm sure Max will be thrilled to see you."

"Yeah... Do you know where he lives?"

"You don't talk?" A confused expression on his face.

"Yes, of course, but I wanted to surprise him, so I didn't tell him I was coming, and I don't have his address..." You explain shyly quickly.

He gives you the address and runs away to his friends, who are on a terrace a few meters away. You look at the cordonnet on your phone and are eight minutes away from his home. Stress kicks in, and your hands become sweaty.

It's only when you are at his doorstep that you realize. You are about to see your best friend, the man you secretly love, for the first time in about a year. The words run through your brain, and you stand before the door without knocking.

Is it a bad idea? You feel like it's a bad idea. He didn't ask you to come... you assume it. I do not know if he implied it as friends or something more.

Doubts cloud your brain, and you finally leave with a sight of frustration for your cowardliness.

You're about to take the elevator back when a door opens. 

''Maxie! Come on! We're going to get Ice cream! Screams the little girl entering the elevator at the same time.

Your heart skips a beat, and you look at the little girl in a Disney princess dress. You undoubtedly didn't expect that. You hear footsteps, and in a second, Max is in the elevator. He hasn't looked up already and just takes the hand of the girl while watching his phone. You can't help to look. Kelly <3. Oh my god, this is a mistake. You take out secretly your cap in your bag with your sunglasses and put them on.

''P! Stop jumping. Don't bother the lady." He says for the third time in a row.

You only want to go out of this freaking elevator. Finally, the ride ends, and you let them out before you do. You watch from afar the little girl catching Max's attention. Dragging him to the first ice cream store she found. Jealousy found its way. You see a woman getting out of the car. Kelly.

She kisses him and then gets to her daughter. You wish this was you. You and Max. You, Max and your baby. You wipe your tears away and slowly walk away. This is a mistake, a huge one. How could you be so stupid? How could you be?

You put your hood in your head and start walking down the street of Monaco. Everyone seems busy preparing for the Grand Prix, and you can't even look at it. You never thought in a million years that he would be with her. Why did he text you? Why did he do this? Why?

Frustrated, you walked down to the marina and sat on a bench. You looked at the sea until the sun went down. Thinking about what's coming. What will be coming? Remembering the past. Remembering this night...

"I will choose you, even when you make me mad. My love for you won't fade simply because we are angry." You say, cutting the silence with your words.

"I know we will fight, be frustrated, and be human. Still, I will go to battle for you. Still, I will choose you, and I will choose you. And keep choosing you every single day." Touching your face softly with his big hands. You smile at his words. "I didn't wanna fall in love, not at all. But at some point, you smiled, and, holy shit, I blew it." Max says, taking your cheeks with his warm hands.

"Max... You made me feel things I didn't believe in anymore. You make me feel alive." Your voice is barely a whisper.

He didn't wait for a second before brushing your lips together. You cut short his teasing and kiss him passionately.

How can things change this fast? Maybe because you were drunk. Drunk in love. You wipe your tears and start walking back to the bus station up the hill. It's the worst weekend of your life. Your heart is shattered, and you don't have anywhere to go.

You stupidly thought you would end up in each other's arms again, and he'll let you stay with him. Well... change of plans, you idiot.

You pass the casino and see Daniel with some of his friends hanging out on a terrasse. Is this man always sitting at the cafe or a restaurant? You giggle at this thought and approach him.
