It was atleast an hour before lita stalked out of the bathroom freshly washed, in new jammies and her hair in twin French braids.
The tv in the room was playing lowly as max sat on the bed scrolling on his phone boredly now dressed in black Adidas basketball like shorts with all the windows cracked open, the sound of cars passing mixing in the room
When he heard the bathroom door open and lita come back out he sat up properly to rest his back against the headboard.
"Though you got lost in there Lonnie" he grinned lazily as she laugh sarcastically
"Ah yes because it's like Alice in wonderland in the bathroom" she looked at him unimpressed but couldn't help but crack a small smile
"I ordered room service while you were in the bathroom, it's on the table for you" he gestured over to the marble counter in the kitchen area.
Walking over to it, lita saw a plate of chicken strips and potato waffles her comfort food.
Ever since she was five, lita had stuck to ordering chicken strips and potato waffles off the menu as she knew she enjoyed it and it was much safer than ordering something none appetising the fact that her rival of all people remembered made her heart squeeze
Taking a seat lita ate the meal happily after not eating much since before she had got on the plane, unbeknownst to her the Dutch driver was watching her quietly from the bed to make sure she ate as he knew she had a bad habit of getting distracted and not eating her food.
After finishing her meal slowly since she had decided to look at all the tik toks that lando had seemed to of spammed her with over the past hour, lita washed the dish before walking over to get into the bed
It wasn't like the two hadn't shared a bed before even though it had been accidental, her skin crawled with déjà vu from back when she had fell asleep on Max's chest in Silverstone and had woken up to the sigh of the messy haired driver looking the most peaceful she had even seen him.
The sun had seemed to set a while ago in Hungary as lita crawled into bed beside max causing him to turn his phone off and palace it on the night stand before he looked over to her
"You know Lonnie" a sly smirk former on his lips "you'd look even better in one of my shirt" correction she'd look fucking irresistible if she'd wear a redbull polo with his race number on it instead on her own.
Her cheeks flushed a slight rose colour as she glared at him "you wish emilian" oh he did.
As lita turned on her side to face away from him, max couldn't help gain a wolffish smile, the way her cheeks would flush from his teasing would make any sane man crazy.
As lita stole the remote to put on Netflix she spoke up "thought you'd go see daniel"
He look over to her "he's not getting in till tomorrow before qualies and anyway why wouldn't I want to be here with my favourite driver" he chuckled sarcastically
"Your so sweet" she mirrored his sarcasm but couldn't help giggle slightly as the familiar theme tune of the office began to play causing a groan to emit from the Dutchman's throat
"Not this again Lonnie" he dragged a hand down his jaw but the innocent smile she gave back guiltily made his annoyance melt to butter.
"It's good" she frowned slightly but reached for the remote to change it to something they could both enjoy but his rough hand grasped onto her wrist carefully to stop her not daring to wrap it around fully incase he'd hurt her
"Don't." He spoke firmly as he rubbed a thumb across her wrist gently "you wanna watch the office even if it's for the 100th time, We'll watch it"
Looking at him quietly she set the remote down again allowing the hold on her wrist to falter as she laid back down properly, the white blankets laying at their ankles as the Hungarian heat saturated the room.
As lita watched Angela get mad at Andy for being the reason Dwight quit in the tv show she almost shivered as she felt large hands find purchase on her waist and pull her closer
She didn't dare take her eyes ofd the tv.
The Dutchman pulled her back against his broad chest as he brushed one of the braids of her shoulder revealing a small birthmark that was slightly lighter than her natural skin in the shape of a small wonky star
He couldn't help but stare at it and lifted a thumb the trace it gently causing lita to bite down on her bottom lip.
"Never seen this before" he spoke in a low rumble causing a small pit to form in her gut, she didn't know what the feeling was it was strange just like the other times she'd felt it but she only felt it around him.
"It's just a birthmark, nothing too special" she spoke carefully so they wouldn't come out in a stutter
Her words caused him to drop his hand back down to her waist and hold her tightly.
He placed a small kiss on the mark causing a small sharp breath to be taken in by lita before he nuzzled his head against the back of head and close his eyes.
She didn't dare move.
Lita opted to continue watching the tv until she eventually heard the soft breathing of the driver behind her, his chest rising and falling slowly against her back
She had the urge to wiggle free but knowing how calm and peaceful the Dutchman was know that he'd finally fell asleep she stayed still.
By the time the clock had hit 11:30 both drivers had found peace in the lands of dreams as they slept in one another's hold, a strange eeriness of calmness filling the hotel room
'Twas as if no one else outside of their hotel room existed.
