BLUEBERRIES | CHAPTER FIVE

Heya!

Here we have another update, I hope you guys like it :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both Max and Carlos jumped when they heard the unexpected familiar voices behind them. As a matter of fact, even Lando got a little bit jumpy when he heard the responses from the other boys. They were not expecting for them to be so close to them.

'What time shall we meet then?' - Said Lando now quite excited. He always loved meeting new people and adored making new friends. He had a good feeling about the new acquittances.

'8pm?' - Asked Carlos making all the boys agree, it was now 6pm so they had two hours to get ready and meet. 'We could meet in front of Steak & Shakes; it is a lovely restaurant and despite being good I fancy a great burger I am not going to lie' - Said Carlos with his mouth watering and in hopes the others would agree with it.

'It sounds good' - Said all of the five boys altogether. They chatted for a few more minutes and quickly Lando exchanged numbers with the Frenchman and the Monegasque. Shortly after everyone went their own ways, to get ready for later in the evening.

Charles and Pierre went together as they lived close to each other, they were quite excited to dine with the other group. Charles and Pierre had been friends for quite some time, they confined everything with one another and would spend a lot of time together, so the potential thought of expending their friendship circle was a new exciting feeling.

Max was a nerve wreck on the other hand, he had struggled to be friends with people, not just because most of the time he did not want it but also because, he never quite managed to connect with anyone else. Apart from the young British lad of course, which even now he wonders how it fully happened. He was silenced the whole journey to their respective hotel and once they were in, he said goodbye to the couple and went to his room to get ready. Despite knowing that it would not take took long he wanted to make sure he would not make a fool out of himself.

Time went faster than what everyone expected and soon enough it was time to make way to the restaurant. The couple made their way to the hotel lobby where they would meet with Max. Carlos was wearing blue jeans and a button open blue shirt complementing his tanned skin; Lando was wearing black cargo jeans with a black sweater, he decided to go slightly more comfortable but nevertheless, he looked amazing.

After waiting a couple of minutes for the Dutchman he appeared looking flustered still re-adjusting his clothes. Certainly, Max had made an effort tonight, he was looking fantastic. He was wearing dark skinny blue jeans with an opened-up shirt that had the sleeves rolled up. Underneath he had a plain white t-shirt, and his hair was slightly ruffled-up too.

'Trying to impress someone?' - Said Lando cheekily looking at the Dutchman who stared at him with a slight blush appearing on his cheeks. Max simply muttered a no, and they started making their way to meet the other duo.

Pierre and Charles were already near the restaurant as Charles did not want to be late, he was to make a good impression to their new friends. But Pierre knew that the only good impression that Charles wanted to make it was to a certain reserved Dutchman. Pierre was looking very casual, wearing a simple light blue sweater and blue trouser, despite being casual he surely looked good enough to go to dinner. He never liked to stress about outfits and what to wear but no matter what circumstance he always had the perfect outfit.

Charles was the completely opposite, he would spend hours trying to make the perfect outfit to the point he would make a mess out of his room with clothes everywhere. Tonight, he certainly made an effort, he wanted to impress a certain person. He was wearing a white rolled up sleeve shirt with navy blue trousers that hugged his thighs.

Carlos had spotted the duo waiting and waived to them trying to not bring much attention from the others. The duo made their way to the other boys and where they greeted one another. Max looked discreetly at Charles admiring his beauty, he was certainly now feeling self-conscious. The Dutchman contemplated whether he made the right outfit choice.

Charles on the other hand was not discreetly at all, he was eyeing the Dutchman up and down without any shame. Why should he, to his eyes Max was looking like a snack and he was ready to take a bite. Looking that good should be illegal thought the Monegasque. Pierre looked at his best friend and shook his head hitting him in the arm without anyone seeing it.

'Stop Charles, you're looking at Max like a hungry wolf ready to catch his prey' - Pierre mumbled to his friend after seeing how Charles was looking at Max. Once Charles heard his friend's comment, he looked down embarrassed and blushed heavily. Pierre was not the only one who noticed the Monegasque looking at Max, Lando had been the other person. He was attentively looking at Charles behaviour towards Max.

Shortly after, everyone went inside the restaurant where the host greeted them sweetly, taking them to a reserved booth in the restaurant to ensure they would not be disturbed. Making Charles and Pierre slightly confused as why they went there, but none of the boys dared to say anything. Once everyone was sat the conversation started to flow naturally among Lando, Pierre, Carlos and Charles. Max remained quiet looking at the others talking, this was until someone spotted them and quickly approached them asking for pictures and autographs making Charles and Pierre more confused. Luckily, the scene did not take more than a few minutes but deep down the drivers knew the questions were already forming in the duo's mind.

Max sighed loudly with what just happened, despite loving to drive a formula one car and being very good at it, he hated the attention it brought him.

'What was that?' - Asked Pierre confused looking at the drivers opposite to them.

'Well... There is one minor detail that we may have not disclosed it...' - Said Carlos now a little annoyed as they hoped to talk a little more before opening up to the other boys.

'To put it simply, we are Formula One drivers, that is it' - Said now Max to everyone's surprise. Charles and Pierre looked at Max shocked, how have they not realised sooner. It all made sense now, when the trio left the bakery Pierre and Charles had a conversation of how their faces were familiar and how they always looked at their surroundings when someone would go in, how strangely they talked about schedules.

'I think another set of introductions is due' - Said Lando calmly, looking at the duo in front of him. 'Well, my name is Lando Norris, and I drive for McLaren, this is Carlos Sainz Jr who drives for Ferrari and my other half of course, in case if you have not noticed' - Said Lando laughing towards the end as if everything was the most normal thing in the world. 'And that my friends, is the one and only Max Emilian Verstappen, also known as my best friend slash world champion who drives for RedBull. I think this is pretty much all' - Said Lando casually making the duo opposite more shocked than what they were before.

'Oh' - Said Charles and Pierre in unison still shocked with their most recent discovery.
