The Young Verstappen

33.

It was warm and pleasant in Miami and I arrived at the hotel around eight in the evening and the hotel didn't want to accept my reservation for Max, but in the end they accepted it and when Max arrives tomorrow it will probably kill me that I flew alone, I couldn't sleep the whole flight so all the tiredness it came down to me in the room. In the morning I went for a walk around Miami and to the beach and I was sunbathing before some girls came up to me "Aren't you Max's sister by any chance?" i took off my sunglasses and said to them "yes i am what do you need?" "We really want you to be with Lando and where is Max?" I didn't know what to do so I told them "Thank you girls but me and Lando are just friends and Max stayed in Baku anyway" The girls smiled and left and I ignored what happened just now I continued sunbathing before someone yelled " There is!" and they kept calling "Jane!" I packed my things but a journalist got in my way and asked me "Jane you and Lando are planning to be together and what does Charles say?" I didn't answer them and cameras and cameras were pointed at me everywhere and they were taking pictures of me for the hell of it. Who told them that I'm not even as famous a celebrity as Max? I found another way and ran away but they were running after me and I didn't even notice that I was almost on my way if a car hadn't honked at me I looked around the car everywhere, where they were on the other side, I couldn't run anymore but somehow I managed it, the hotel was about ten minutes away from me, I kept running but suddenly a car stopped in front of me and the driver rolled down the window, it was Carlos "Jane, get in now" I nodded and I answered him and went around the car and sat in the passenger seat "Thank you Carlos" and we drove off, no journalists or photographers followed us, I finally breathed a sigh of relief "Jane, what did you do to be chased by journalists?"        "They asked me about Lando and Charles"                                                             "Okay"                                                           "Max will be furious when he finds out"  "He won't be don't worry" Carlos tried to reassure me "He was right I should have stayed away none of this would have happened now"                                             "Max had probably you're right Jane, but someone must have told them you'd be here a day before Max" Carlos was right about this "Carlos, I didn't tell anyone that I was flying to Miami before Max and what are you doing here so early?" 
 "I flew away yesterday like you. We reached the hotel and I thanked him for rescuing me and Carlos accompanied me to the room where I called Max. He didn't answer my phone and neither did Lando and Charles. I changed out of my swimsuit and went to lunch and then immediately to massages and I went to practice and I kept trying to call Max, he didn't take it and Kelly didn't answer me either. I was bored and didn't know what to do, finally I called Vanessa via video chat and she picked up, I told her what happened and she just said "Jane, I know everything on tiktok"                                    "What, Vanessa, please tell me what you're doing just kidding"                             "Unfortunately you're everywhere"       "Damn it, Max will kill me when he finds out" Vanessa had to go so I was left alone to somehow forget about it so I went to study but that didn't even help mainly I was all nervous and didn't know I'm not even a celebrity. I went to the hotel bar where I ordered a whiskey and drank it all at once and then I went to the lobby where Max was already picking up his room keys Kelly saw me and said something to Max and went to me "Jane we need to talk but not here" she grabbed my arm and we went to their room Kelly closed the door behind us and said "Jane this is not you what's going on" I was surprised that she was asking me about this rather than the journalists "I don't even know Kelly since everything has changed since I go to the paddock" Kelly sat on the bed and Max finally came to us "Jane we need to have a serious talk"                                                "And about what?"                                        "Why are journalists chasing us from the airport and why are they asking me if you're with Charles or with Lando?"       "Max, I don't know myself but today when I was on the beach I ran from them and if Carlos hadn't saved me I don't know what I would have done" Kelly said "They couldn't see you maybe see you holding hands with them or something" 
"Not both of you they're just friends, there's nothing more to it"                          "Why did Jane run from them?"            "Because I don't want to be the center of attention and Max you know that very well"               
  "I know" now we will all have to watch out for journalists and not only us but also Lando and Charles, mom and dad and Vanessa and David and all our friends I hate journalists in general and I don't like them since I was little, because when Max and I were little, I remember that they kept coming to our dad and asking him about something. Max and I agreed that we would agree on how to proceed in the morning, I still couldn't believe what happened this morning and I also have to talk to Lando and Charles tomorrow and I didn't want to deal with it anymore today because I don't know when he will even arrive and I want to have already today I just said good night to him and put on a movie.
