Chapter 8

Max's pov

I waved at my daughter and blow her a kiss holding back tears. I turned back to Jonathan " please don't tell anyone " I ask " my mouth is sealed but why don't you file for full custody. " he ask.

" I already tried to but he threatened to kill her if I ever did. " I say holding back tears " god that's awful I'm so sorry " he says and he opens his arms and I wrap my arm around my him.

" it will be okay. One day you will have full custody of her " he says and I pull back and wiped my tears to make it look like I have been crying.

Jonathan and me walked back up to the suite in silence. I miss my little girl already I watched the game but my mind kept drifting back to Allison.

Is she okay? Did her useless of a father hit her or inappropriate touched her. I wish I could protect her when she's with him.

Daniel's friends and I talked while watching the race and I felt a little better to be fitting in and that they like me. We laughed makes jokes and telling stories about our childhood.

When the race came to an end and Daniel won third place we went to the back where no fans or paparazzi are aloud and you couldn't see back here.

We wait for Daniel to come after he's done with his interview and getting congratulations from other drivers. I felt a hand on my back lightly pulling me forwards.

" guys, stop he's not gonna wanna see me first " I said trying to go back to my original spot. " we know him and he's gonna wanna see you trust me. " Jonathan said.

" but your his friends and he's know you for the longest " I said making a good point. " he see us all the time. " Corey says waving it off and they all stepped back.

" wait " I hear Aric and he stepped forward " can I fix your hair a little " he asks and I nodded and he ruffled up my hair and fixed up my clothes.

" there " he says and looks behind me for a second and smiles going back to the others. I take a deep breath in and turned around seeing Daniel.

Damn. He looks breathtaking with his sweaty helmet hair. I bit my lip looking him up and down my eyes slowly meet up with his and I see a little smirk.

Shit! He definitely caught me checking him out well you can't really blame me I mean look at him any man or woman would be lucky to be with him.

" MAX " I snap out of my thoughts and jumped back a little hearing someone yelling my name. " I'm sorry " the person quickly apologized " nah it's fine, I'm sorry for zoning out. " I say.

" hey, where's Allison " I hear Daniel say. " my month with her is over and she's with her other father. " I say and Daniel lets out a little pout. " aww I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to her. "

" maybe next time. " I say and he nodded still kinda upset and went back to go change out of his uniform. He came back and bro hugged his friends before coming over to me.

He hugged me and I melted into it for a second then we pulled away. We started walking to the parking lot when I felt an arm wrap around my neck and rested on my shoulder.

I look to the side and it's Daniel's arm I blushed hard and looked away when I realized he was already looking at me. " you look cute when you blush " he whispers in my ear.

I blushed harder if it was even possible looking down at my feet like it's suddenly the most interesting thing in the world. We stopped in front of his car when he opened the passenger side open for me.

I got in and he closed the door jogging to his side and got in. " do you wanna go to the after party with me? " he asked looking nervous.

" yeah, sure " I say and he's whole face lightens up when I agreed. We arrived shortly after his friends went inside we got out of the car his hand still in mine.

We're walking to the door when Daniel stopped walking and I look back at him. " is there something wrong " I ask maybe he finally realizes he doesn't wanna hang out with me anymore.

" no, I-I wanna ask you something " he says nervously and I nodded for him to go on. " do you wanna go on a d-date with me if you're free sometime this week. " he ask you could hear the nervousness in his voice.

He wants to go on a date with me a single father. He's probably joking nobody wants to be with me nor does anybody want to be friends with me.

" forget what I ask " he says out of nowhere I must of been in my thoughts for to long. " I would love to go on a date with you " I say and he looks up smiling wide.

" really " he says making sure he heard me right and I nodded when he pulled me in a hug that lasted longer than when we were at the race.
