After spending nearly two weeks in Greece, the gang headed home with Lando having to be back at the MTC for some work before the race first of the second half of the season in Spa.
Millie had been sat beside Max on the flight back to England the pair spend the couple of hours talking which made Millie realise that she liked Max even more than she thought she did.
After being back in England for the last two days, Max was leaving to see his parents while Lando had to go to work for a while to do some sim work.
Which left Millie to invite Ria over to hang out seeing as they hadn't seen each other since the night everyone went out after the British Grand Prix.
"So, how was Greece? It looked amazing. I was so jealous." Ria spoke as the two sat down around the kitchen island of Lando's house with coffee.
"Yeh it was good. Most days we did nothing but hang around the pool, we rented a yacht for a few days and done some water sports. And thenirealisedthatilikemax." Millie muttered the last sentence into her cup of coffee.
"What was that last bit?" Ria asked with a smile, wondering if she had heard the brown haired girl right.
"I said irealisedthatilikedmax." Millie said again after burying her face into the coffee again.
"Are you serious?" Ria exclaimed.
"How could you have possible understood what I said?" Millie wondered as she placed her cup down.
"All I heard was I like Max. Are you serious? You like Max?" Ria said with a smile on her face.
"Yes. Okay. Now shush." Millie told her.
"Why? There's no one here." Ria spoke confused.
"I know. I just don't wanna talk about it anymore." The brown haired girl replied.
"Oh we are so talking about this." Ria told her excitedly with a smile on her face causing Millie to roll her eyes in reply. She knew this would happen.

A few days later Lando had left to go to Belgium for this weekend's Grand Prix while Max arrived home from visiting his parents.
Millie was upstairs streaming on Twitch while Max was downstairs doing something unknown to Millie, most likely watching tv.
"How come you didn't go to Spa?" Millie read from the chat. "Well someone has to run Quadrant while Lando is off participating in his part time job."
Millie was laughing at the comments everyone was making at her joke as she adjusted the position she was sitting in.
"No seriously though. Sometimes it's not possible to be at every race as much as I'd love that. Like for example, we're filming a Quadrant video tomorrow so I have to be there for that." The brown haired girl explained as she swung side to side in her gaming chair.
"How was Greece?" Millie read the next question from her long list of chat. "Guys it was amazing. It was so nice to just hang out with everyone and do different stuff like water sports and that."
Millie went on to talk about their holidays for another few minutes while being very careful to not mention Luisa considering the fact no one knew about her minus a few pictures that had been circulating online.
It was crazy how people managed to watch a three second video and notice the couple in the background of it.
It was clear in the picture that it was in fact Lando with his arms around a brown haired girl but the only benefit was that Luisa was looking away from the camera meaning no one could tell who it was.
There had been speculations that it was Millie but that was cleared up by the fact she could be heard talking to Tom in the background of the video.
Millie spend another while on her stream before finally signing off after seeing it was after 8pm and she hadn't had dinner yet.
"Okay guys. I'm gonna go now because I'm starving and I need to go get food. Thanks for joining me again and see you soon." Millie blew a kiss at the camera before turning off her stream.
She grabbed the blanket from the foot of her bed and threw it around her shoulders as she headed out of her bedroom and downstairs.
"Hi. Hi." Millie spoke as she walked into the kitchen where Max had his head buried in the fridge.
"Hi. Do you know we have no food?" Max asked as he stood back to let Millie look inside the fridge.
"Oh. Right." Millie replied as she looked inside to see there was nothing but milk and some of Lando's ready made dinners from Jon.
"McDonalds?" Max wondered with a smile on his face.
"Sounds good to me." Millie nodded in reply.

The pair were now sat in Max's car with their McDonalds spread across their laps on a mountain top view that looked over the MTC.
"That view never gets old." Millie commented as she reached into the bag and handed Max his food.
"Definitely not. Had to be one of the most beautiful F1 factories ever." Max nodded in agreement.
"Salt?" Millie asked holding out one of the little white sachets towards Max.
"Thank you." The Birmingham born boy replied as he took it off her.
"So, Lando and Luisa huh?" Millie spoke causing Max to nod in reply. "They're quite cute together."
"Yeh they are. I've never seen him so happy." Max commented.
"Same actually." Millie nodded in reply with a slight laugh.
"I always thought you two would end up together." Max spoke as he stared out the window causing Millie's breath to catch in her throat.
"What?" The brown haired girl asked turning her head to look at Max.
"Yeh. That's why I was so surprised when him and Luisa got together." Max explained to her.
"Why me and Lando?" Millie wondered.
"Just the way you two acted around each other when I moved in. You were so close with each other and got on so well I just assumed something would happen at some point." The former F3 driver told her.
"Well there's that theory gone." Millie laughed slightly causing Max to nod in reply. "What about you huh? Any girls?"
Max started blushing which lead to Millie gasping although deep down her stomach sank slightly wondering who it could be.
"Who? Who is it?" Millie wondered as she started poking his arm.
"I'm not telling you." Max replied as he threw a chip at her.
"Rude." Millie spoke as she picked up the chip from her lap and ate it.
The topic was verbally dropped about whoever it was that Max liked but both of them still thought about it.
Millie thought about who it could be while Max thought about how he was going to ever tell Millie how he felt.
