Max is looking at me with worry in his eyes. I decide to smile.

"That's okay" I say and try to stand up. Max holds his hand out to me and I grab it. He pulls me up and smiles slightly.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asks. I shake my head.

"No, I'm fine, don't worry" I say with a smile. The worry in his eyes fades away and he nods.

"Are you okay as well? I walked into you pretty hard" I say, and feel myself start to blush. Max smiles brighter now.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me being hurt by you" he says. I raise an eyebrow.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask him. Max's eyes fill with worry once again, probably scared that I'm angry.

"Well, you're tiny and not that strong, so yea" he says and looks at me, still with worry on his face.

"Okay" I just say.

"Can I take you out for a drink to make it up to you?" he asks. I frown.

"To make up for what?" I ask him, completely forgotten that I really needed to go to the bathroom.

"Well, for knocking you on the ground and for the comment I just made" he says.

"You don't even know my name and you want to take me out for a drink?" I ask him, a smile on my lips, but confussion in my eyes. He smiles and holds out his hand.

"Hi, I'm Max, who are you?" he asks me. I giggle and shake his hand.

"Hi Max, I'm Jasmin" I say. He smiles and nods.

"Can I take you out for that drink now?" he asks again. I look back and see my dad sitting at the table.

"Well, I'm here with my dad and I don't want to ditch him, as this is kind of a birthday present" I tell Max.

"What is a birthday present ? Dinner?" he asks. I shake my head.

"No, he took me to Barcelona for the weekend. I'm actually from the Netherlands" I say. Max's eyes widen.

"No way, I'm from there as well" he says. I nod, not really wanting to say that I know, as that may sound really weird.

"What did you do today then?" he asks and I smile.

"Well, we actually went to this thing called the qualification of the Grand Prix of Spain" I say. Max starts smiling.

"So, you know who I am, don't you?" he asks me. There is nothing in his face that I can find that he might not like it. He looks like he likes that I'm here for Formula 1.

"Yea, I do. You did great, P4, that's awesome" I say with a smile on my face. Max smiles proudly.

"Yea, I had a great day, excited for tomorrow. You coming tomorrow as well?" I nod as answer and Max nods as reaction. I look at my dad again and he looks at me, frowning.

"I have to get back to my dad, I'm sorry" I say.

"Don't worry about it. Can I maybe have your number so we can arrange that drink thing?" he asks. He actually looks nervous for my answer and I don't know why he should be nervous.

"Yes, sure, give me your phone" I say. He unlocks his phone and hands it to me. I put myself in his contactlist and hand him his phone back.

"I'll text you later, so you'll have my number as well" he says. I nod and walk back to my dad. The coffee and the ice cream are already on the table.

My dad and I just talk about the race and stuff.

I'm in bed, listening to some music. Our room has two beds, luckily. I have my earplugs in and I'm on my phone. I see a Whatsapp notification popping up. I click on it and read the message.

Unknown : Hey, it's Max. Again, I'm sorry for smacking you to the ground. Hope your butt isn't hurting to much, as you have to sit for a long time tomorrow haha x

Me : Hey. Really, it's fine and my butt's fine as well. I'll survive tomorrow! x

Max : good! I hope to see you tomorrow, where will you be sitting ?

Me : First cornor after start/finish, but you have to concentrate on racing, not on where I'm sitting!

Max : I'll be fine! I'll wave at you at the end of the race

Me : oh, you mean when you've won the race? ;)

Max : I wish!

Me : shouldn't you be sleeping ? you have a big day tomorrow!

Max : yea, i'm going now. Good night! x

Me : good night Max ! x

I put my phone away myself and just try to sleep. I'm excited for tomorrow, but I need my sleep. I'm actually exhausted from today. But it was a great day. Who knew I would meet Max Verstappen and get his number.
