"You have really designed that amazing, it looks great." Max stunned as walked through the private parts of the palace a couple weeks later.

Last weekend he had manage to win his second championship, a messy weekend in Japan, but we were still extremely happy, enjoying now this little break before the next race would take place.

"Thanks, I really tried to make it perfect for us, it's our new home so I want you too feel welcome here." I returned, brushing my hand over the railing of the stairs.

"I love it, you like you my little architect." Max chuckled and pulled me closer, kissing the top of my head.

"Some room are already finished, I can show you." I beamed, well knowing that I still had my surprise for him.

"We can start yeah, but then I have to go back as tonight we have our stream." he explained even though he had told me just an hour ago.

"I know, I know, sim racing is more important than I am, I see." I mocked him, but couldn't really hide my grin.

"Well, I don't have my sim here..." Max started before he added, "But once I'll move in after the wedding, I will buy a new one and put it in here somewhere, cause my current one is really broken."

We laughed as I also had heard that story quite a few times by now, which was also why I had bought him a new one. So quickly I grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the living room.

"I have a little surprise for you, call it a early wedding present." I chuckled and opened the door, stepping inside the room.

"Oh liefje, you really didn't have to do th" the Dutchman started but then saw the sim rig and his jaw dropped, eyes widened big, "W... What's that?"

Stunned he slowly walked across the room over to the sim while I followed him, quietly giggling while I nervously bit my bottom lip. Max was still to surprised as he ran his hand over the chair, the steering wheel and the big screens.

"W... Why? H... How?" he stuttered as he turned around, looking at me perplex, "I... Is this the new model?".

"Yes it is. Surprise." I only whispered in return, grinning at him.

"I absolutely love you." Max the suddenly blurred out and cupped my face, leaning down to smash his lips right onto mine.

Once we parted again, I cuddled up to his side, nearly crying as his big puppy eyes and the dropped jaw made me so emotional. While one of his arms was wrapped around my waist, the other one brushed over the rig again, inspecting every little detail.

Max lightly chuckled as he saw the royalty sign brand marked into the seat.

"Have you turned it on already?" the Dutchman then asked and I started laughing.

"Do I look like I know how to turn such things on?" I chuckled, brushing my hand over Max's cheek while shaking my head.

"I'm the only thing you can turn on, right my love?" Max laughed and kissed my red cheeks before he climbed into the seat.

I quickly kissed his head in return before I watched him a few minutes starting the sim. As I didn't really understand anything though, I then decided to get us some dinner from the kitchen.
