From the moment both max and lita had stepped off the podium the internet had blown up over their kiss on the podium
It was wild to think that it could only take around 20 minutes for it all to turn into chaos.
Different variations of journalists were absolutely eating it up with in particularly rumour has it, new fan pages were created to ship any sort of interaction between the two from the first time lita had joined redbull and of course Tori was going crazy
Pr was gonna love this. (not)
It had officially been 3 days since the race in Qatar and yet the mayhem continued
Lita laid lazily in a pair of hello kitty jammy bottoms and one of Max's hoodies on the sofa with SpongeBob playing in the background as max stood in the kitchen
The warm sent of cookie filling the air as he placed the cookie dough in the oven.
Down Outside of the brunettes apartment stood a range of journalists and paparazzi trying to snatch a look at the pair and it was safe to say anytime they tried to ask the Dutchman questions, his patience's wore thinner
So it was safe to say the two were staying cooped up in the apartment for a while.
"I didn't see this much publicity when Toto and Susie started dating" lita hummed lazily as she scrolled on instagram
"That's because the most eligible bachelor of the paddock isn't single anymore" the Dutchman gave a slightly crooked grin cockily causing lita to roll her eyes
"You're so cocky it's suffocating the apartment" she scowled slightly as she flopped her phone down on the sofa bored "and who said you're not single anymore?"
"Last time I checked your name was written all over my heart" now this caused litas cheeks to flush slightly
"Well you never asked me to be your girlfriend" she bite down on her lip
"Didn't I?" He narrowed his eyes slightly as his grin formed into a sly smirk
"Nope" she let the 'p' make a popping noise as the couch made a slight creek once the bigger redbull driver flopped onto it and tugged her into his side
"Well that's to bad cause i really want to tell people your my girl" Max leaned down to steal a few kisses off her strawberry lip gloss covered lips causing her cheeks to flush darker and for lita to bury her head into the crook of his neck
"Who knew you were so romantic" she giggled as he let out a scoff and pinched her side lightly causing her to squirm on her spot
"Tell anyone and I might have to kill you" his teasing earned a rumble of laughter from his chest as the French girl slapped his chest playfully
It felt perfect.
Just the two of them curled up on the couch, messing around and laughing just like before everything had went down
Max knew that he was lucky to get a second chance and yet somewhere inside him he still felt like there was more he needed to do...that maybe he wasn't good enough anymore.
Shaking the thoughts from his head, a small sigh escaped Max's lips as he looked down the small brunette curled up into his side, watching SpongeBob
Warmth soaked into his chest as he finally began to understand what his sister had been on about when she described the warm feeling she would get with her husband when he was around
Contentment.
Letting a pout take over her face as max got up from the sofa to go check on the cookies, lita flopped back and ran a hand through her hair as a ding lit up her phone
As the sound of the Dutchman pulling the tray out of the oven and letting out a slight cuss at the roasting cookies, lita unclocked the phone screen of her phone before a small frown graced her lips.
Looking up from spatuling the chocolate chip cookies onto a pink flower shaped plate, Max's eyebrows pull together as he walked back over to her
"What's wrong?" He set the plate on the coffee table before reclaiming the seat beside her and pulling lita back into his side
Biting down onto her lip, lita passed the phone over to him
Grumpy Horner:
We need to talk.
