SUNDAY:
The weekend has gone well so far and I've been good on the track so I hope I can convert it into a win, but I know it's going to be hard. I was starting 2nd but Max was infront of me, he has way more skill than me so I hope I can overtake him at some point.
I arrived at the track earlier than usual to go over a couple of things with Christian, we were just talking, a RedBull in my hand, as a DTS microphone hung over us, listening into our conversation. We knew not to say anything secretive, just talking about the pace and a good strategy for today. We were just chatting away when I saw Max walk into the garage, saying hello to us both before joining our conversation.
"So, what're you talking about?" Max asked looking between me and Christian.
"Just how I'm going to overtake you on the first corner."
"Is that so?" Max teased, his eyes burning into my face.
"Mhm. Good luck defending." I replied, he looked shocked because of my level of confidence. I knew I wasn't going to overtake him, I just wanted him to freak out and feel scared for a minute or two.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to see!" Christian said, looking at me and Max, basically telling us to cut it out because DTS make everything was more dramatic than it needs to be.
"Yes we will! I'm going to go and find Lando, so I'll see you guys soon." I said before grabbing my bag and making my way to the McLaren Hospitality.
"Isabella! Hey!" Lando said, getting up from his seat to hug me.
"Heyyy!" I said as I sat down next to him, "How are things with the car going?"
"They're going alright, not quite as fast as the Redbull though.." He replied. "How are things with you and Max going?"
"They're going great, Christian knows about it but he doesn't care as long as it doesn't affect our racing."
After afew more minutes of us talking my phone buzzed.
Max ❤️🦁:
You're always with Lando, come spend some time with me.
Bella 🤍:
Max please, I haven't spoken to Lando a lot recently.
Max ❤️🦁:
Whatever Isabelle, go fuck Lando and see if he's better than me.
Bella 🤍:
Max you know that's not what I mean.
Max ❤️🦁:
I don't care.

Damn, he was jealous. I showed Lando the messaged as he tried to hold a laugh in.
"Don't laugh! He seems really mad." I said, slapping his shoulder. "I need to go to the RedBull garage, Lando. I'll call you later."
I rushed over to the RedBull garage and practically sprinted to Max's driver room, trying to be sneaky but not really caring if anyone saw me. I knocked on the door loudly, praying he'd open it.
He did.
"Bella, come in." His eyes were dark, not like Max.
That was a lie, I'd seen this Max before. Mad Max, annoyed Max, about to fuck the shit out of me Max. I walked in, taking in a deep breath. And quickly shutting the door behind me.
"Max.." I breathed out, barely even a whisper. He turned to look at me, then at my lips, then back to my eyes.
His lips smashed onto mine, but in a punishing yet pleasing way, he tried to deepen the kiss.
