lita felt absolutely disgusting as she finally escaped the hoard of journalists who were trying to gawk answers about the championship from her
The brunettes hair was sticking to her forehead in messy plaits and her race suit felt like another layer of skin.
Even though it was night time, the temperature still made lita want to shrivel up like a lobster being boiled
As the hotel door slammed behind her, she let out a sigh of relief as she fought her way out of her rave suit and into the cold shower.
Redbull should definitely consider putting air conditioning in their cars
As time flew on, lita reluctantly forced herself out of the refreshing water and out of the shower, grabbing one of Max's shirts laying lazily onto of his suitcase before brushing her wet hair
Rubbing moisturiser onto her face, the French girl unlocked the bathroom door and into the main room only to pause
There stood the sight of the grumpy Dutch himself in a black button up shirt with the top two unbuttons done, black jeans and his hair messy
She could smell the scent of his cologne even from all the way at the bathroom door before her eyes trailed to the massive bouquet of chrysanthemums in his rough hands
The flowers of her birth month.
"What's all this?" Lita raised an amused eyebrow as she slowly and sluggishly made her way over to max
"Oh you know, just decided to treat you to some flowers not like it's a special occasion or anything" he hummed dryly as he let her take the bouquet
"This is bigger than my head" she laughed in slightly disbelief at the unexpected weight of the flowers
"Go big or go home right?" Max mused lazily before he moved to cup her jaw gently and tip it up so she'd look at him and not at the vibrant flowers
"Happy birthday baby" he gave a lazy smirk before giving her a small peck before she pulled her face away and looked back at the flowers
"Is this the gift you were raving about earlier?" Lita raised an eyebrow
"No" he rolled his eyes "there only part of the present"
Now this peeked her interest
"You got me something else?" She looked up at him like a child on Christmas Day
"Two things actually" humming the Dutch moved to one of the bed side drawers of the hotel room before pulling out a small velvet box that could easily be enveloped by his hands
"Oh god your not proposing are you" lita scoffed out lazily
"No im not you idiot" not her atleast played on the edge of his tongue but he held back as he moved back to the waiting girl
"Here" he carefully took the bouquet out of her hands and placed them delicately on the bed before passing the box to her
"It's not a piece of cake from Alice in wonderland that will make me grow is it?" Lita hummed humourlessly as max stared down at her with expecting eyes
Letting out a huff, she slowly tilted open the tiny velvet box's lid almost hesitant as curiosity filled her
There sat in the soft cushions of the box a carefully carved silver heart shaped locket, it held a small carvings of embedded flowers and ivy leaves
It was rather precious looking and rather delicate.
Tracing her fingers over the carvings, lita slowly moved her honey coloured eyes back up to max who was staring intensely to see whether he'd fucked up or hit jack pot
"Open it" his voice grumbled out as he exams her closely
Letting her eyes wander back down, she took the necklace out of the box carefully before moving to open the locket
Inside was a small carving of m + l in rather fancy looking writing
"So?" Max felt a shiver trickle down his spine the longer she stayed quiet
"It's beautiful" she mumbled out as she slowly looked up at him with a weak smile
Get it together she thought to herself as she moved to wrap her arms around his waist and tucked her head onto his chest
Relief washed over him like a train.
Leaning down the Dutch placed a light kiss on the top of her wet hair before pulling her head back slightly
"Let me put it on?" Carefully max took the necklace from her fingers before waiting for the smaller girl to turn around till her back was nearly against his chest
carefully moving his thought fingers, he pushed her wet hair away from her neck and carefully clipped the necklace around her neck
lita could feel the slightly Graze of his fingers against the back of her neck causing a shiver to run down her spine
Biting her lip, she closed her eyes trying not to squirm at the cold chain hitting her skin
"Perfect" she wasn't sure if max was talking about her or the necklace but she couldn't find the will to ask before he pulled away
"Now go get dolled up" he placed a small kiss on her shoulder where his shirt hung off her shoulder before pulling away
"Don't want you to be late for your own birthday party"
"But what about the second gift?" Lita looked over her shoulder slowly, seemingly found her voice again
Ah. The second present
"Didn't I tell you?" He hummed almost a mocking lazy
"Tell me what?" Her faces scrunched up in confusion
"I thought it would be a nice surprise for us to go to France for a weekend" he hummed as lita hummed
"Why France?" She pulled a face slightly since she'd spent technically her whole life there
"Well for one you haven't been there in nearly a year" that was true she thought to herself
"And two, I thought it would be rather fun to see the house you grew up in"
Au note// hello little ducks, I hope you enjoyed this fluffy before we all have to struggle to get up for vegas, can't believe that redbull brought the wrong wings and the fact that this book is just over a year old. Crazy. I do apologise for not posting, I've been pushing it off slightly because I don't want it too finish so don't come after me guys xx
