The rest of litas stay in the shimmering sunny Bahamas was rather blissful
She shopped until she almost dropped, indulged more chocolate waffles for breakfast than an addict and let's not forget about her teammate...
It was safe to say a bond of attachment of sorts had occurred more so after that night.
Sitting beside each other at every meal possible, max stocking behind her in night clubs to scare off other guys, lita making sure he and Daniel didn't get into to much trouble and even max taking her on trips to the local book store to get her new books
It was safe to say if no one knew the two they would have definitely thought they were a couple.
By the time the group had packed up and left the hotel it was already Wednesday of their last week on break meaning they only had until friday well technically Thursday before they were flying out for the next race with the exception of max
Reluctantly leaving the brunette beauty of a teammate, max decided to fly back on his private jet after Jos so graciously (with a scoff more like) gave it back to him since he'd be in the Netherlands already for the next race
The flight home was obviously quiet for max while litas flight was long and tiring to Monaco and in return she fell asleep with her head on autumns should she was surprised she didn't wake up with sharpie on her face.
The flight took almost most of the Wednesday night and he ended up back at his penthouse at 2:05 the Thursday morning
His body ached from sitting so long and his muscles begged for sleep which wouldn't be granted until he finished unpacking his suitcase.
The whole hour he just longed to be back in the Bahamas, away from everyone that truly knew him and where he could really be at peace with Lonnie
The Bahamas trip definitely made him a different version of himself, one where he was calm and even joked about...a version he hadn't seen in himself in a long time.
By the time he had finished throwing his grey Ralph Lauren shirt into the wash a knock rang through the quiet apartment causing the Dutchman's eyebrows to furrow
Opening the door he was greeted with a red faced fuming Jos verstappen.
"Thought I had some more peace left before I had to deal with you" max spoke dryly as the shorter but older verstappen pushed past him and into the apartment
"What did I tell you." His father spat out angrily causing max to roll his eyes what was his dad on about now
"I thought we went over this, I'm not a mind reader" max scoffed as his father shot him a glare
Pulling out his phone as max watched confused, Jos pulled up the home page for rumour has it before showing his son the latest article.
Snatching the phone from his father hands his eyes skimmed every line that the small journalists page had wrote
Rumour has it was a small publishing brand in the f1 world, coming to light a few years ago it seemed to know most ins and outs of each drivers personal life and was one of the top pages for starting drama and it seemed to take a turn for max this time.
"Have the two really been rivals or was it all a pr set up?"
"Has max been letting Lolita win on purpose?"
"Would our sweet Lolita really go for someone so cold and rude?"
Every line that max had read slowly drew away his patients, why couldn't people mind their own fucking business?
"Why couldn't you have gone for someone like Kelly piquet?" His father grunted out ones max had enough of the bullshit written about him and Lonnie
"Why did you have to go with that bitch of all people" Jos snapped out causing Max's eyes to shoot to him sharply
"Watch your words" max snarked his patience was already lower due to his tiredness and that article already got on his nerve.
"I mean honestly max" his father continued "there was nothing wrong with Kelly and you know I'm good friends with her father, lita is just a phase...a rebellion even"
"She's not a phase or a rebellion" max rolled his eyes, Jos knew nothing of what was going on between him and Lonnie and it was none of his business either
"Please your at each others throats and now all of a sudden your lovey dovey" Jos scoffed "this couldn't have happened over night so do tell what changed? What caused this? Are you fucking her? Is that it?"
if max wasn't starting to see red before he sure as hell was now, his fist clenched as he stared back at his dad coldly
"So you did" Jos laughed as he shook his head "you fucked her and now you'll do anything she wants huh is that her game? Probably what she did to get that redbull seat to begin with and now you've fell under that whor-"
Every every crude word his father spilled out turned something inside of max
The rage he felt was blinding, his fists were curled tightly into his side as an ache was forming behind his left eyes
Before Jos got the chance to finish off his sentence and before max even realised what had happened his his arm shot out...
And his fist collided with his father's face.
Au note// hallo lovelies, sorry this chapter isn't as long as usual but I wanted a filler for between Bahamas and the Dutch race so hope you enjoyed eheh. F1 SEASON IS BACK been so scrum over the weekend and of course max came out on top 🤭
