Mel's POV
I'm in the car with Ari, on our way to the shopping centre just outside Milton Keynes. I have the AUX cable, playing some little mix through the car speakers quite loudly.
"So who's this guy that's taking you to Silverstone?" Ari asks, not taking her eyes of the road
I contemplate on weather to tell her what I've told my parents or the truth, I decide to tell her the truth "you have to promise me that you won't tell mum or dad but it's Max Verstappen"
She gasps "really? That's amazing!" She says, already knowing I had a massive crush on him
"It's a little weird because he's been my crush for 4 years"
"It's cute! Hopefully you'll get married and have cute kids!" She says excitedly as she parks the car.
"Woahhhh there, first we haven't even had our first date yet, and second I'm only 20!" I say getting out the car.
Ari gets out the car " Well I hope it works out for you, you deserve someone nice, like him. Oh and I won't tell mum and dad"
"Thanks sis" I smile grateful to have a sister like her.
"Right, so I need a dress and you need a couple outfits, yeah?" Ari turns to look at me, as we enter the mall.
"Yeah, even if I don't get Friday and Saturday off I still want new clothes!" I giggle .
"Okay lets do this!" Ari grabs my hand and starts walking into some posh dress shop.
Around 4 hours later, Ari has a beautiful dress and matching shoes and I have lots of new outfits for Silverstone. We load all the shopping bags into the boot of Ari's car, the boot being very full. As I'm getting in the passenger side my phone dings. I check it to find a text from Max.
Max 🧡:
Hi beautiful, I just spoke to Christian and your all good for the whole weekend. He even said that you can stay with me in my hotel room if you want.
I hope you can come for the whole weekend as I'd love to spend some time with you :)
- Max 💗xxx
Without realising it I had been smiling at my phone for a few minutes too long.
"Ooh is that Maxie?" Ari nudges my arm, I blush.
"Yeah, just saying that I'm all good for the whole weekend"
"Aw that's sweet" Ari says as she turns the car on and reversed out the parking space, I turn back to me phone to text max back.
Mel:
Hey, handsome that's amazing! I'm at work tomorrow so I'll let you know then.
I really hope so too!
-Mel xx
After sending the text I grab the aux cable and put on Harry Styles' album 'fine line', Ari and I singing along all the way home. Ari parks the car back on our driveway, we both get out and grab the bags from the boot. As we get in the house, Sochi comes running at us with his tail wagging, I put my bags down to stroke his head.
"Hey baby!" I place a kiss on his head before he trots over to Ari.
I take my bags up to my room and start putting them away in my draws and closet.
A little while later, having put the last top away, I go over and sit at my desk. Logging into my blog account I open a new post, I've had had my blog for just over a year now and it's finally beginning to take off. I type away for about an hour before Ari peeps her head around my door.
"Heya, mum just texted, her and dad won't be home for dinner, so wanna go see a movie and grab dinner?"
"Yeah sounds good, when do you wanna leave?" I smile at her.
"Around an hour or so?" She quirks an eyebrow.
"Yeah that's good" she leaves, shutting the door behind her. I turn back to my laptop, and edit what I've written, then posting it. Then opening twitter to tweet that I've posted.
Getting up from the chair, I walk over to my wardrobe, grabbing a jacket as it's now evening. After grabbing my phone from my bed, I exit my room and go downstairs to meet Ari.
"Hey, I'm ready if you are" I say.
She turns to me, "let me just grab my car keys"
"Actually, can I drive?" I ask her.
She nods "yeah that'll be nice"
I grab my mini keys from the kitchen, on my way out the door I pet Sochi goodbye.
After the film, Ari and I grab a domino's and chill out in the living room, gossiping about hot celebrities and for a moment a certain Dutch boy wonders into my head. After helping Ari put the cardboard into the recycling, I bid her goodnight and head upstairs.
