F1 One Shots II

#33 Max - Idiot

NARRATOR POV: This week, Zandvoort in The Netherlands is bathing in orange, as it's second race weekend in this triple header, followed by Monza. Concidering that, orange army wants to show their immerse support they have for their world champion and home-hero, Max Verstappen. Most of the fans hope that the Dutch will win this weekend again, at his home soil, making it 2nd win in a row here.
Also for that case, Max is supported in the paddock not only by both his parents, but also his sister Victoria and her husband, and their best friend, Mackenzie Bontempo.
All the drivers have bits of nerves, but Max has a tripple-amount of them. He just wants to make his people proud...
-You ok Maxy?- Kenzie said, sitting down beside him on the small couch he has in his drivers room.
-Yeah...- he exhaled loudly, joining his shaking hands with each other.
-You not look like it..?!
-Thanks- he chuckled, looking at her sideways with small smile.
-You'll do great, I'm sure of it.
-I just want to win... At home for 2rd time in a row would be...
-The best feeling ever. I know- she agreed, looking fondly at him and rubbing his arm softly in support. Even though she never raced in karts, she knew the feeling, supporting him since they're teens.
-Happy to have you here...
-I'm happy to be here too. Whatever you have a podium today or not- Kenzie said and accepted the given hug -Have fun today, don't worry about anything or anyone. If the win is in cards, you're gonna have it. If not, that's fine too. There is always next race...
-I'll try my best- Max replied, grinning from ear to ear. He felt at ease in that hug.
-Come. Let's go to the garage Mr. Pole Position...- Kenz said, letting him go and standing up with a smile.
-You're right- he agreed, showed her lightly to the side with his hip and opened the door. They went to the garage together, laughing and joking. Max felt 100% time more relaxed, but still focused on the goal.
There, Kenzie joined Maxs' family, while Max himself prepared for the race with Gp, as starting from Pole is crucial.
-You smile like an idiot when you're talking to her...
-Hm? What do you mean GP?
-Your dear friend, Mackenzie... You're in love with her.
-No, I do not!?- Gp fixed him with pointed expression -There is no time for it! We have to race!
-I know. That was just a comment- he smirked in responce, making Max shake his head in exasperation.
After that, they really focused on "work mode" to win again. It's Zandvoort after all...?!

...
Whole race went rather smoothly, after some incidents, but nothing putting to much concern at Max, who was drivng in the lead, with Checo behind him, defending anyone else, so mostly Lewis and both Ferraris. It made all the "Max supporters" smile widely, already tasting the win. 
And they were right, as Max drove back into parc ferme in 1st place along the chaos of his fans and cheers of the team and family. That way, he got another grand slam, as he was at the top whole weekend.
-He won!
-Of course he did!- Kenzie and Victoria cheered, hugging each other happily. It turned out that Max's worries were for nothing...
They celebrated another 1-2 for the team, as whole track was drowned in orange smoke. "Orange Army" delivered as usuall...
The podium was amazing, during which both Max and Checo were smiling widely and spraing each other in huge amount of champaine along with Gp who went up there to receve the trophy for the team, and Lewis who came 3rd.
-My winner...- Kenzie mumbled to herself, feeling pride and joy while looking at him. But it wasn't the end of the day, nor the celebrations...
After the podium all the drivers went to media pen for the interviews, while top 3 finishers were swammed in congratulations and questions. And the press conference followed after that...

....
When the "work" part of the weekend finally ended, Max and Checo came back to the hospitality, to see a little party already going on, as the hugs and cheers of the team members almost drowned them. Everyone felt the joy...
After whole family hugged and congratulated Max, his eyes met Kenzie's, making him smile even wider, if possible.
-Congrats, mjin winnaar- she said, mirroring his gesture, while Max simply gathered her in his arms and lifted her above the ground easly by her waist, making her laugh.
-Maaax!- she complained through laugher -Put me down!
-No. We need to talk..- he decided swiftly, still feeling the courage because of the remaining adrenaline from the race still coursing through his weins. 
Without placing her down, Max quickly left the party, somehow unnoticed, and locked them in his drivers-room, silencing the loud music quite a bit. Only then he set her down on her feet again, smiling goofly while she just rolled her eyes playfully.
-What did you wanted to talk about?
-I wanted to tell you something...
-Go on then. I'm all ears- she agreed, smiling encouragedly, feeling how her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
-I...- he started, but looked like he struggled to find the right words -ik houd van je- Max said next, feeling better in saying that in their native language, but still looking unsure of her reaction.
-ik hou nog meer van je- she replied right back, finally calming down and feeling relief flood her bloodstream, as she stepped closer to him and placed her lips uppon his in sweet but a bit heated kiss.
-Wait, really?- Max moved back, looking at her shocked when the truth downed on him, what she really said.
-Yes. So much...- her reply satisfied him for now, as he smirked and then wrapped his arms around her waist again, to pull her back into the kiss. It was getting more and more heated by every second, as they got lost in each other.
-Wait, Max! The party?!- a bit of sense came back to Kenzie for a moment, as she pulled back from the kiss, placing her hands on his shoulders and looking him deeply in the eye.
-Don't care. Want you now...- he replied bluntly and then silenced her giggles with another kiss. It looked like Red Bull team had to have the 1-2 celebratory party without their winner....?!
THE END

Turns out Max has 2 things to celebrate after this weekend..
