Royal Speed | Leclerc & Verstappen

29 | good morning

-|- Netherlands 2021 - race break -|-

We went back after a while as it was slowly getting cold and the sun was fully gone, stars lighting us the way back home. This time Verstappen drove the car, but not without holding my hand the whole time and smiling over at me every minute.

His eyes shined even brighter and his smile was even bigger but as was mine probably. The car ride was quite and it gave me time to finally realized everything. I really just had my first kiss, my first ever kiss, and it was with Max Verstappen.

A man. A Dutchman. A formula one driver. A celebrity. An amazing person with a huge heart and cute smile, telling me the right words and helping me whenever I need him. A person that I had fallen in love with, the moment I had met him.

This kiss wasn't a random touch of two lips, with someone my father had chosen for me or someone the world would expect from me. But hell, I loved it and I couldn't argue about it, it had been perfect, it still was.

"What are you thinking of?" Verstappen smiled at me.

No, Max, Max smiled at me. I couldn't deny it anymore. This man had stolen my heart and I wouldn't be able to forget about this when I would go back, forget him. It wasn't possible and for me this was just the start.

"Hm?" he asked again and brushed with his thumb over the back of my hand, our fingers intertwined laying on the middle console.

"I just thought about how perfect it was." I smiled and him and squeezed his hand.

"It was." the Dutchman breathed, focusing on the road but quickly smiling over at me, "I'm glad you liked it. I wouldn't forgive myself if I took your first kiss and you didn't like it."

He looked kinda in panic and his hand grabbed the steering wheel even more, which looked pretty hot by the way, him steering the car with one hand.

"Don't worry, it was perfect. You are perfect." I returned, the last part only a breath over my lips.

"Says the prince." Max winked over as he drove onto his sisters property.

I couldn't return anything as he had jumped already out of the car, jogging around so he could open the door for me. It was kinda funny that he still did that, but on the other hand was I falling even more each time he does it.

"Here we go, my prince." the Dutchman nudged me, seductively biting his bottom lip, which caused a heat in my lower stomach.

"T... Thanks." I breathed in return, not wanting to wake the others as it was already pretty late.

I then just followed Max, who still held my hand, until we were standing in his room. The Dutchman then slowly turned around, facing me while taking my other hand, that was loosely hanging next to my body.

He then looked me deep into the eyes, carefully pulling me closer before he laid his hands on my waist, burying my hands underneath his. His sudden closeness overwhelmed me a bit and for a moment my eyes dropped down to his lips.

"Do you wanna stay here for the night?" Max the breathed, my eyes instantly snapping up to meet his.

"W... What?" I asked, slightly feeling the panic creeping up my body.
