iris's pov:
Morning came and Max made us some omelettes and Poppy a bowl of cereal. Eating until I get full then washing my dish, walking back to my room with Poppy following behind me laughing. Her laugh sounds like sunshine it instantly brightens your day by hearing hear laugh or even seeing her smile. Walking into my room she had oh so many questions it made me laugh but I still answered all of them."So why are you leaving, are you coming back soon" I heard her petite voice ask. Looking over at her I can tell she was sad that I was going, her eye brows dropped a tad and looking down at the floor.
I quickly answered her question before she over thought "Of course I will be coming back flower, I can't be away from you to long. I will only be gone a couple days to go back to get my stuff to bring here" I tell her whilst picking her up so she is face to face with me. I squish one of her cheeks, she starts laughing uncontrollably and hiding in the crook of my neck.
Lifting her head from my neck looking at me with a more serious look on her face "How come you and daddy don't sleep in the same room. His other friends used to sleep in his bed". Caught off guard by the question, I start to think of how I can handle this situation since she already thinks we are actually together. She can tell I was thinking for a little longer than usual and she "riri do you and daddy not love each other" breaking my heart cause she looked like she was on the verge of tears her little eyes lost the sparkle.
I hurried with my answer after hearing that "No no no honey non of that just daddy and I need some privacy sometimes like when we change and stuff you know and we like to decorate differently too". She started to smile again, obviously Max and I don't love each other but in front of Poppy and the media we need to show that we do. I set her down gently before grabbing my purse and stuffing my passport and wallet with my keys in there. I take her hand and walk with her out of the room closing the door behind me.
Max was taking me to the airport along with the cute little munchkin. Getting into the car and getting settled in, soon making our way onto the street. Watching the view go by or every so often speaking to P or Max.
The drive was only about 40 minutes to the nearest airport. Upon arriving he parked and walked me to through the entrance with P in his arms and his hand loosely on my lower back. I still feel weird about this whole thing but I need to get used to it. Walking up to security if you looked around there were phones out everywhere pointing in our direction. I smiled while looking around so I don't seem rude before Max came to hug me, getting close to my ear "I'm going to kiss you since there are cameras around and probably more we don't even know about is that okay" whispering in my ear. Quickly nodding before he gave me a soft kiss on the lips, looking over Poppy is just watching us silently.
"It's okay honey I'll be back in a week, just seven sleeps from now okay" I speak to her. I quickly hug her and gave her a kiss on the head then hugging Max quickly and giving him a kiss on the cheek. Taken back by the kiss he laughed slightly then they both waved goodbye to me.
Getting through security was way quicker since I only had my purse with me. Soon enough I was at my gate and headed into the plane. Flying can make me nervous sometimes but as long as my headphones work I'm usually okay.
Almost nine hours later I was finally off the plane greeted by my best friend Celeste. giving her the biggest hug ever before we started walking towards her car so she can take me home. "I see you have nothing with you and you forgot to mention to me you have a boyfriend. I thought I was your best friend Issy we tell each other everything" she laughed telling me. Giggling slightly with her before we got into her car and she started the drive towards my apartment.
"I'm sorry Lest it all happened so fast, but I'll tell you everything now only if you promise to help me pack" I said to her. She looked at me confusingly laughing a bit asking if it was a joke but me denying shortly later.
Her voice came out very serious now "what do you mean pack, you're moving, moving to where". I really didn't want to answer but she is my best friend and I was told not to tell anyone and I hate lying to her. I delayed on my answer before she spoke again "Iris you are moving" with confusion in her voice.
Speaking quickly before she hates me forever "Only for a year I will still have my apartment here but I won't be living here. I'll be traveling a lot for a majority of the year but when I'm not I'll be in Monaco with my boyfriend and his daughter". Scared of her reaction I diverted my attention to outside the car watching the passing buildings go by.
"Who even is this guy who is taking my best friend away from me for a year" asking yet another question. I quickly answered her question by telling her his name and his daughters. "You're dating the top f1 driver at the moment, where the fuck have I been and why haven't you told me".
I tried answering to the best of my abilities without revealing too much "it all happened so fast Lest. I had a meeting in Monaco and I met him and I guess we hit it off and I stayed with him and his daughter and I can see a future with them". Telling little white lies to try to cover up some of the true bits in it, but soon turning and cringing at myself because I sound fucking stupid no way in my right mind would I go and live with my "boyfriend" who I have known for not even a week. "I know it sounds crazy but I promise I'm okay and I'll call when I need my best friend. Also you will be definitely be with me at some of the races I don't care what anyone says". We both laughed at my statement before we finally arrived at my apartment building.
