Mad Max - Max Verstappen

73. Pancakes

Naomi woke up next to an empty spot in the bed. She didn't care, she was sure Max didn't run away, because it was his apartment. She quickly went to brush her teeth.

Naomi went to look for him around his apartment. He wasn't in a living room. When she entered the kitchen she was greeted with an uplesant smell.

The kitchen was a mess, on a stove was a pan and inside of it was something what was completely burned, she wasn't even able to identify what it was. Naomi chuckled, it was cute that he tried to make a breakfast. She found a note on a counter.

I hope I will be back before you will see this, but if not, make yourself comfortable, just like at home.

She opened windows for some fresh air. Then she checked what is in a fridge and then a pantry. Max failed his attempt to make a breakfast so she decided, that she will do it. She took everything what she needed and started making pancakes. She loved them, they were quick to make and delicious.

Naomi was quickly done, but Max was still nowhere to be seen. Naomi cleaned up the kitchen and loaded a dishwasher.

She heard a door opening and went to a hall.

"Max?"

"Naomi? You are awake, sorry" he said. In his hands was a paper bag, coffee holder with two coffees and a beautiful bouquet.

Naomi quickly took coffees from him, because it looked like they are gonna fall from his hands soon.

"I wanted to make us a breakfast, but I wasn't successful, so I went to buy something for us to eat" he said with a sad smile.

They walked into the kitchen.

"Naomi?! You cooked?" he asked her, his eyes widened.

"Yes, just pancakes, I hope you don't mind that I used your kitchen" she grinned.

"I don't mind, but I should have taken care of you, I feel embarrassed now" Max said.

"I wanted to do it" Naomi gave him a reassuring smile.

"Nooo, don't tell me you even did a dishes?! You are my guest! I feel so bad now."

"I did, so what? Max I have funcioning hands, I wanted to do it ok?"

"This is for you" Max said and gave her the bouquet. "I bought croissants, but let's have pancakes."

Naomi served them, she was able to find a maple syrup in a pantry.

"Do you have any plans today?" Max asked her.

"No"

"Ok, fine, now you have, because your pink teddy is right now in my car, waiting to be delivered to your apartment."

"Alright" she smiled.

"Naomi, these pancakes are so good" Max said with a huge grin. She just smiled.

They finished the pancakes and Max quickly took all the dishes and loaded them into the dishwasher.

Then Naomi took her dress and the bouquet and they walked out of the Max's apartment.

Max unlocked a black BMW.

"Everytime I see you, you have a different car" Naomi said.

"Yeah, some of them are not even mine, because of the traveling I often have cars borrowed, this one also isn't mine, I have porsche in London, but the teddy wouldn't fit there, so I borrowed this SUV."

Before Naomi could open the car door, Max did it for her.

They drove to her apartment. Max remebered where it is from his last visit.

He parked the car and took the teddy from the back seat. They went upstairs, Naomi unlocked the door and they walked in.

"Where can I put this?" Max asked.

"In my bedroom probably, I will show you" she said and placed the dress aside on their way to the bedroom.

They walked in and she told him to place in the corner of the room.

"Do you want a coffee, tea or something?" she asked him.

"Tea would be great" he grinned.

"Ok can you wait for me in the living room? I believe you will find it, I will just change" she said.

Max nodded and went to the living room. Naomi changed into a sweather and leggins and she went to place clothes what Max borrowed her into a washing maschine. She turned it on and went to the living room.

"Max? What tea do you like?" she asked when she walked in.

"Green or black tea please" he said.

"Ok" she went to make them tea. She also took a vase, poured water in it and placed the bouquet there.

She returned to the living room with two cups and gave one to Max.

"Thank you, why you have here these cans of pain?" he asked her.

Naomi realised she forgot to put them away "Oh, I wanted to paint this room and forgot to put it away, I'm bored with the white, it hurts my eyes" she said jokingly.

"So we will be painting today, that will be fun" Max grinned.

"What? Max no, I will do it when I will have time or I will hire someone to do it" Naomi said.

"Why would you hire someone? I'm literally here?" Max asked with a confusion.

Max's phone rang, he looked at the screen. "Christian" he said. "He is a funny guy, thinking I will pick up."

"You will pick up" Naomi said.

"No" Max said.

"Yes"

"Fine" Max said. He accepted the call. "Christian?" Max's face remained neutral when Christian spoke.

"Hmm, fine, I will tell Naomi too, she is with me so you don't have to call her."

He hung up.

"What happened?" she asked him.

"Imola is cancelled."
