I wake up to loud knocking on my door, the sun directly shining through the curtains, straight into my face
"Dylan, theres someone at the door for you" My mum shouts as I slowly open my eyes
"what?" I respond sleepy and grab my phone off my nightstand, looking at my phone
its 4:12 fuck...
"Ill be down in a minute" I shout jumping out of bed, grabbing the best possible clothes out of my closet and runing into the bathroom with them, freshening myself up, brushing my teeth, fixing my hair, apply deodorant and cologne and getting dressed at the same time, stumbling over my feet as I make my way down the stairs with haste.
"Sorry I forgot the time" I say out of breath turning around the corner seeing Max stand in my hallway talking to my mum
"Its alright, I was just talking to your mum" Max says turning towards me, wearing a white buttoned up, black jeans, white shoes and a bracelet and watch around his wrists as accesories. I take in this clean look, which I expected him to wear at the Fancy event not at a dinner date at his place.
"Hi... Sorry to keep you waiting. I will talk to you tomorrow mom" I give her a sign to let me and Max leave
"you two have a lovely evening" she says
"Thanks mom" I smile and open the front door
"Thanks Mrs Van Hout" Max smiles and closes the door as we walk down to Max' parked car
"Im so sorry you had to go through that, I had a long night talking with my friend and couldnt sleep for hours when I got home" I appologise again
"you're having trouble sleeping? why is that?" Max asks me as we both get into his car
"Just a lot of stuff on my mind, you know break up, music career and all" I groan and buckle my seatbelt
"just that?" he ask me and tilts his head
"I suppose... you could say theres also a guy" I say and he starts smiling
"A guy? that must be interesting" he says and starts the car
"oh shut up and drive" I shake my head with a smile at his silly little game
As Max is driving I notice him occasionally looking over at me, trying do it secretly
"So, what do you have planned for us tonight?" I ask him to break the silence
"Well first im cooking you dinner, then we can have some drinks, you know get to know each other and then maybe go for a walk? Or watch a movie?" He tells me
"Interesting... what's for dinner?" I ask him
"I thought about some chicken curry with rice and a salad on the side" he tells me
"Wow consider me impressed, I never thought a formula 1 driver could cook, well any race driver my ex wasn't really font of cooking either. I was the one in charge of that" I tell him
"Does that mean I already get a point for that?" He smirks
"Not yet, it might still taste disgusting" I chuckle
We pull up on his driveway and get out of the car, I take in his property as we walk to the front door
"Your place is beautiful" I gasp
"My mom makes sure its all nice and cleaned up while im gone" he tells me and unlocks the door
"I didn't even know you had a house in Belgium, I just thought one in the Netherlands and one in Monaco" I say and Max lets me step inside, holding the door open for me before he gets in himself
