The drivers were now in Spain and Francesca was sat in the restaurant eating breakfast,

"What are you looking at?" Isabella asked as she cocked her head,

"This note was on a thing of beers in my room," Francesca explained as she handed the older girls the note,

"Do you know who wrote it?" Ivana asked as she watched the girl shake her head,

"My guess is Max," she added as she handed it to Isabella,

"Really?" The Scot furrowed her eyebrows as everyone was thinking that it was him,

"Yeah, it's his writing." The Russian nodded,

"He sent Nico a birthday card last year," she added remembering when he had sent her boyfriend a card,

"It's his writing," Isabella nodded in agreement,

"Id recognise it from anywhere," she added as she had seen it on post-it notes a few times,

"He was just being friendly," Francesca rolled her eyes as she watched the duo get excited,

"That's all," she added as she shook her head,

"And how are you going to respond to that," Ivana asked curiously knowing that the ball was now in the younger girls court,

"I don't know," the Scot shrugged as she hadn't thought it through,

"He is over there if you want to talk to him," Isabella pointed him out as the boy let out a laugh as he read something on his phone.

"I'll see him later," Francesca shook her head as she didn't know what she would say,

"Just don't wait for until the end of the weekend to talk to him," the German knew the girl all too well,

That was her usual way of handling things.

Francesca was laying on the beach as they had finished the first day of qualifying,

"Hey," Max smiled as he walked over to her,

"Hi Max," Francesca turned to face him as she looked away from the sun,

"Here," the Dutchman handed her a new towel,

"What's this for?" The Scot asked as she furrowed her eyebrows,

"Christian wants to see us," the boy explained as he motioned to her to get up,

"Really?" The girl was taken by surprise,

"Yeah he wants to talk to us about something," Max nodded as he shrugged on knowing what it was about,

"Come on then," Francesca wrapped the fresh towel around her body as she slipped on her flip flops and made her way to the hotel again.

Francesca followed Max over to Christian who was sat by the pool,

"Hey," Christian smiled as he watched the duo sit down,

"What did you want us for?" Max asked as he cocked his head,

"To have a chat," the team principal explained,

"You two have got to get along," he added as he watched them look at each other,

"And I mean become friends," he cut them both off before they could protest,

"What do you have planned?" Francesca could tell that he had a plan for the duo,

"You two will be spending the day together," the Brit explained,

"Can do whatever you want but it must be together," he added as it was as though he was giving them pro to the situation,

"And if we don't?" Max was just curious to know what the other option was,

He liked the idea of getting to know Francesca though.

"There is a sex shop down the road," Christian spoke bluntly,

"I'm sure I could find a pair of handcuffs there," he added in a serious tone,

"You want to go watch a movie?" The Dutchman proposed,

"I like that idea," the Scot nodded as she quickly got up and followed him.

━♔━

The duo awkwardly stood in Max's room as they didn't know what to do,

"Can I ask you something?" Francesca looked up from her phone,

"You just did," Max saw that she was already looking at him,

"I mean seriously," the Scot rolled her eyes,

"Go ahead," the Dutchman nodded as he decided against pushing her buttons,

"Were you the one who sent me the beers?" It was a question that the girl had thought about for days,

"Yeah," he nodded as he put his phone on the couch,

"Why?" Francesca cocked her head as she furrowed her eyebrows,

"Because I heard that you wanted it," Max explained as he shrugged,

"Thought it could be the least that I could do," he added as he ran his hand through his hair,

"Well thank you," the Scot smiled as she nodded,

"Where are you going?" The Dutchman asked as he pushed off of the couch to follow her as she made her way to the exit of the room,

"Lando put the extras into my fridge," the girl smiled as she looked up to him,

"How'd he get them here?" The boy furrowed his eyebrows as he didn't know how exactly he did it,"

"That boy finds ways to do things I'll never understand," Francesca shrugged as she couldn't help but let out a chuckle,

"Wait," Max stopped her from leaving as he decided that it was now the time to tell her,

"What's up?" The Scot cocked her head as she turned back around to face him,

"I've always respected you," the Dutchman sighed,

"I'm sorry that I made you think otherwise," he added as he chewed the inside of his lip,

"Why are you crying?" The sound of sniffles brought him back to reality,

"You've never been this nice to me," Francesca confessed as she wiped her eye,

"So you're not sad?" Max asked as he cocked his head,

"This is normal girl stuff okay," she would often find herself emotional over things that she didn't understand,

But that didn't matter to her at that moment as she had finally made a truce with her partner.
