When Max and Aliyah left the airport, they got to know eachother better. It wasn't important things, just random facts. They found out each others favourite colour, food, book, movie and so many other things, to a point it was difficult to remember everything. Well, that was unless someone asked them that directly.
Aliyah remembered she had Lars and Sven looking for her; so she sent a quick text to Lars, informing him she was almost at the hotel she was staying at.
Aliyah JUST TO LET U BOTH KNOW MAX PICKED ME UP DUE TO THE PAIR OF U BEING UTTER IDIOTS
Lars OK THATS RUDE

Aliyah and Max's 'date' went well for the pair of them. They enjoyed each others company. They were like two lovesick puppies, yet as much as Max tried to hide his feelings towards Aliyah, she gave no sign of liking him. Or so Max thought.
He tended to be a big slow minded at times, so he struggled to catch on with Aliyah's 'small' hints of her crush. But, then again, Aliyah was just as oblivious to Max's feelings towards her.
However as time passed by - Aliyah had been in Rio supporting the team for a week and neither of them had acted on their feelings. Sure they went on what the rest of the boys would class as dates, yet neither of them called their get togethers that.
Well, that was until the lads (mainly Leon, Sven and Julian) got sick of the pair of them staring at eachother any moment they could, the little smirks they had when the other person name was mentioned.
Their plan was simple. Get Max and Aliyah together before the end of their Olympic journey.
