If Only...

A German and A Little Tomato

"Hey." I mumbled before getting pulled into a hug.
"Heard you got emotional at work and needed out."
"Just started on Monday." I held his jacket tightly. "I'm sorry, you should get ready for Spa."
"I'll got to go there next week, so no worries. Just a few training sessions this week." He finally let me go as people started to take pictures of us.
"They are..." I got interrupted.
"Who is she? Sebastian?"
"She's my sister." He pulled me to his car before pushing me in.
My suitcase soon got into his trunk. He closed it before coming into the car.
"I'm sorry. I know you dislike it."
"It's okay." I replied before getting photographed for the hundredth time.
"So why so emotional?"
"I have to film a dickhead for the rest of his contract."
"Let me guess, the youngster?"
"Yes, if it was Dan I wouldn't be here now, would I?" I sighed, I was snappy. "Sorry."
"It's okay." He patted my leg. "Look we'll get this shit sorted and get you all happy on the train to Belgium."
"Can't I just stay here, forever?" I stared out the window as he laughed. "I'm sorry for not contacting you for the last 4 months."
"It's okay, Jade. I wasn't all that nice the last time we spoke." He sighed as we entered his garage. "I don't blame you for not calling."

"Baby, I've missed you!" This wasn't how I had planned meeting his wife.
"I just went out for an hour." He chuckled as he got out and kissed her. "Meet my sister from another mister, Jaden."

I slowly got out, hating this shit.

"Hey call me Em." She smiled widely.
"Jade. Where are the girls?" I hugged her.
"Staying at their aunts." Em hugged back. "Seb told me you would finally come over so he let them sleep over for the week."
"But-" Seb interrupted me.
"They'll see me next Friday."
"Just-" and again.
"Jaden shut up."
"Back to being grumpy old fuck." I muttered.

Receiving a smile from Em as Seb rolled his eyes.

"Hi Daniel!" Seb waved after pushing me a side. "I miss cuddling with you!"
I laid on the floor as he had pushed me off the bed. It wasn't something new. When Seb and I met during his interviews close to home. We would have these chats with Daniel a lot. It wasn't weird for the three of us.
Now I was just letting them chat.

The days at Sebastian were like magic, it was amazing to feel like a 6 year old again. He let me do my thing and bother him all day. We would go go-karting, bowling and play random games.
The week flew by, it was Tuesday and I was on the train to Belgium.

"JADEN!" Max. Of all people he had to sent him.
"Hey."I held my hand up.
"The others are coming tomorrow." And that meant.. "You'll be staying at mine."
Of course it meant that.
"Ah alright." Fake the friendliness, keep it up, spending a lot of time with your two besties is more important. "Well let's get going then."

He nodded an lead the way. I was looking at his ass from that point I looked at his back, his broad shoulders and thick neck. If only he was nice.

He opened his trunk before grabbing my luggage and gently placing it in the back. He closed it, came to my side of the door. He opened it and let me in. He closed the door and made his way to the drivers side. I kept quiet.

"I should say sorry for how've I been treading you." He started off as I simply had my eyes on the road. "I've ended things with Mikaela."
"Good for you." I didn't hide my monotone voice.
"You can film everything you want and we'll edit it together." He offered.
"Let's just get this week over and done with, Max."
"You'll be staying at my place until we've gotta go back to Milton Keynes."
"I figured." I turned to look at him. "You don't have to pretend being nice to me, your first impression has said it all."
"Can we just try to get along."
"Yeah, sure."

I kept my mouth shut, through out the day. Just let him talk and reply with nodding. It was only when he asked me how editing was going.

"It's a lot." I rubbed my eyes. "What time is it?"
"About 11."
"What time you've gotta get up?" I kept my eyes on the screen.
"Up at 6."
"You should sleep then." I yawned. "I'll finish this and go sleep after."
"You should go now." He closed the laptop.
"I need to finish it, Max." I looked at him.
"Go to bed, I'll lock the door and turn the lights off.'

I grabbed the laptop and went up stairs. Walked to my room as Max turned off the lights. Placed the laptop on 'my' bed and undressed, totally forgetting that I left the door open, I grabbed a large tee out off my suitcase and pulled it on to cover my naked body. That's when I heard a faint 'damn' behind me. Fuck it, let's play with his hormones. I bend over to grab my toothbrush out of my suitcase. A soft 'mmh' reached my ears. Got you punk.

"Like what you see, Max?" I didn't turn around. "If I were you, I wouldn't tell anyone from Red Bull."
"I.. I'm.."
"I wouldn't tell anyone from Ferrari either." I turned around and walked up to him. "If only you had been friendlier."
"I'm sorry." He blushed and marched to his room.
"Little tomato." I murmured before going to the bathroom to brush my teeth. It didn't take long to get in bed. Where I continued my work.
