If Only...

Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner?

My legs hurt, Max had paid the cab driver as we finally had reached his apartment. I had dropped my backpack and suitcase in the living room. Max only talked to me when the camera was recording, which had been from 2 am till now. I did enjoy the sound of his voice, working with him wasn't helping me to move on. It kept me wanting his lips on mine and at the same time I wanted to kick him in the nuts.

'The way you steal the sheets when we go to bed. As I death stare a hole in the back of your head. Because I hate you so much.'

I picked up my phone.

"The one and only Jaden, all ears."

Max stared at me.

"Hey Red Bull girl." Kimi.
"Hey Kimi, why you calling?" I smiled as I was for searching clothes in my suitcase.
"You in Monaco?" He asked me.
"Yes, I am." I grabbed a dark grey summer dress and a leather jacket with my black combat boots. "Breakfast, lunch or dinner?"

Max eyes widened as I made my way to the bathroom. Just to come back for my underwear.

"Breakfast sounds good." He mumbled. "Seb, Dan, Hulk and Lewis will join."
"Want me to ask Max?" I made my way back to the bathroom.
"Yes, some other drivers will join as well."
"Cool, pick us up in an hour?"
"Yes, Red Bull girl."

With that we hung up. I grabbed a quick shower and let Max know he could join.

"Red Bull girl!" Kimi smiled, which looked less scary than I had imagined.
"Kimi." I ran up to him.

He wrapped his arms around me.  Hulk and Lewis rolled their eyes as Kimi showed his emotions for once. Lewis kissed my cheek as Hulk simply winked at me.
"The others are already there." Lewis informed me. "Max coming?"
"Am here, Hamilton." I heard him sigh.
"Maxi!" Lewis smiled at him.
I turned my attention to Hulk and Kimi, both linked an arm with me as we made our way to a small restaurant.
"So how's it going?" Kimi asked as Hulk cocked an eyebrow.
"The guy I was talking about on the plane, just keeps saying sorry and it starts to annoy me."
"What he do?" Hulk stared at me.
"He took a random girl back few hours after pointing out that we were a couple." I shrugged.
"Did he drank?"
"It doesn't matter if he did or didn't." I stood still. "I thought if you cared it didn't matter how drunk you are you'd stay fateful."
Kimi threw me over his shoulder. "That's also true."
"Kimi, you have a soft spot for this young lady, haven't you?" Hulkenberg laughed as we entered the restaurant.
"Put my sis down." An all to familiar voice travelled through the air. "She's wearing a dress!"
Kimi patted my ass before placing me on a chair. "She's my girlfriend now!" Kimi started pushing his buttons.
"No, she's single and not ready to mingle." Seb replied before sitting next to me. "Go sit with Button and Massa."

Max settled himself across from me, Seb left my side for a different driver as he sat next to Daniel and from the looks of it Werhlein.
"So, you Sebs fake sister." A Spanish accent commented.
"Yes, Jaden." I smiled at the guys face. He couldn't be that much older than I was, early twenties by the looks of it.
"Carlos." He showed me his smile. "You want to go out for drinks tonight?"

I blinked, was he hitting on me? I wasn't ready to ever get over Max as long as I was working with him

"I mean, we are all going out, together." He pointed at all the different drivers. "You get along with Kimi, so you are a friend to all."
"You asking her along?" Another driver asked, who seemed to have eavesdropped on us. "Daniil Kyvat."
"Yes I was, we are all going." Carlos shrugged. "It will be fun."

I zoned out as soon as my coffee came. Wondering what could happen tonight, maybe I could get piss ya pants drunk, sleep at Sebs or Dan's. My eyes focused as the waitress placed different kind of breads on the table. Noticed Max staring at me as soon as Hulkenberg pulled my chair back and placed himself on my lap.
"Honey, you zoning out." Hulk poked my cheek. "Your 5 hour ex, roaming your mind?"
"Well, Hulky, no. Carlos asked if I would join you lot tonight." I patted his leg.
"Yes, you in right?" He poked my cheek again.
"I guess so."
"Dress to impress." He chuckled before get off of me.
"Who do I have to impress? According to Sebastian I ain't ready to mingle." I shook my head, laughing.

He just winked and left the table. I grabbed my camera and started filming the entire restaurant. Most waved at me, others just made a funny face and for Kimi, well he was back to being the well-known Iceman.

As Max and I made our way back to the apartment, I snapped a few pictures of him, from the back. I'd sent them to Red Bull.

"You seemed to have fun." Max muttered.
"I did, they are a lovely bunch." I kept my eyes on my camera.
"Are they better than me?" It was close to a whisper.
"They keep in mind that I have feelings." I didn't lower my voice.
"I see." He nodded. "So you are going out?"
"Yes."
"Okay, you gonna dress to impress, as Nico said?"
"I don't see the need to, I could rather dress cheap." That's the way your cuddle buddy got into your pants... "Why do you care?"
"You shouldn't dress cheap." He stated. "Cause I care for you."
"Funny way of showing it, Max." I rolled my eyes. "I'll dress how I want, don't need someone who isn't considered a friend to help me."
"I was just saying."
"I'll go with a mini skirt, bra and stilettos." The sarcasm dripping off every word. "Maybe I won't wear underwear either and launch myself on the first jealous man I come across."
