Forever and always

Chapter six

Olivia's pov:

Flashback - 30 September 2019

Today is mine and Max's birthday. We are turning 22 years old, damn we are getting old.

I woke up in my old bedroom, the bedroom where I grew up. Max, Matt and I are staying at my dad's house back home in the Netherlands, we just arrived late last night after being in Russia for the russian grand prix. Max ended the race in 4th place, which was very good, and i'm so proud of him, he did amazing. He had an intense fight with Leclerc, and unfortunately Leclerc ended up one place over him, Max was angry about it, especially since it's Leclerc.

"Happy birthday, babe" Matt said as he came into the bedroom, he was all dressed and looked handsome as ever, he walked towards me and gave me a birthday kiss. "Thanks babe" I smiled. I then went to grab some clothes and I did my hair.. We walked into the kitchen that smelled like birthday pancakes. Ever since I can remember dad always made Max and I birthday pancakes. He hates making them but he always makes an exception that time of the year. "Smells good, papa!" I said and walked towards him, he smiled big. "Olivia! Happy birthday!" he pulled me into a hug, I love his hugs. My dad and I share a very strong and special bond, I love him so much! I am and always will be my dad's little girl.

"Happy birthday old woman!" Max said and laughed as he walked out of his childhood bedroom. I laughed and walked towards him and gave him a hug. "Yeah, happy birthday! And for the record you are older than me!" .. "Yeah by nine minutes.." he rolled his eyes. "Just saying, you used to confront me about it when we were younger though" I said and smiled.

We ate breakfast together with dad, Max, Victoria, Matt and I. The pancakes were delicious as always, and I, as usual, ate too many. "Are you meeting mama, later?" dad asked, I nodded and so did Max. "We are having lunch with her later, and then we have the party tonight" I said.. We are having a big birthday party tonight together, we both invited all our friends, Max invited a lot of the drivers as they were very good friends. And I also invited some of my friends from Monaco. Matt is from Monaco so that is where we live together, and over the years I have got a lot of friends there, so they have traveled to the Netherlands to be here, which is amazing! The party is gonna be so great!

Hours went by, Matt gave me the best gift ever. I got a new handbag from Louis Vuittion which I have wished for, for so long, so it was no surprise that he got me that one. Well it's not like I couldn't afford it myself, but I know that Matt loves to spoil me with these things so I thought why should I buy it myself. The other thing he gave me was a vacation to travel around the world just the two of us. We are going to explore Africa, which is gonna be very exciting!. Words can't describe how thankful I am for these gifts, it's clear that he really loves me with all his heart.. And I do that too, I will love him forever and always.

Many hours later we had lunch with our mom, just Max, Victoria and I, which was nice for us three kids and our lovely Mama!. Matt was out doing something god knows what, I don't even care what he was doing, because I trust him so much.

Now it was time for the birthday party. We had rented an entire club, and had free drinks for everyone invited, and we had hired a good DJ. Max and I arrived together, which was one of the only times we saw each other that night to be honest, he partied with his friends and I partied with mine.. We had a deal for many years ago that we don't party together.

I was partying with Daniel which was so much fun, he is the best. "Where is your boyfriend tonight, haven't seen him yet?" he asked as we danced like two crazy people. I looked around and realized that I actually couldn't see him anywhere, which was unusual because everytime we were out partying he would be near me so all guys in the club would know I was off the market, which made me feel safe and protected. "I dunno, maybe he's at the toilet" I said silently, while dancing a bit more. Daniel and I partied together for most of the night, he had more with me than with Max, which made Max a bit jealous, but what can I say, Danny Ric and I have a special bond!
