tolerate it-max verstappen

max's pov:
The weekend has been going well on my end I feel like, I have constant words of encouragement from Ris and Poppy. On the other hand my dad is up my ass about everything, saying little snide remarks about my driving and about Iris. The first couple I let slide, but I saw him next to Iris at the moment with P standing close to her and decided to ease drop on what he was talking about it since most of the time it was never nice.

"So you're with my son, distracting him Im guessing from what he really needs to work on" he starts by telling her then continuing the one sided conversation. He starts to point around and up and down at her "So what are you here for anyways to get my son off then leave". Immediately that was all I needed to hear from his mouth to make me turn around a take a few steps towards him.

Reaching him in those few steps cutting his words off before he said anything further "Leave her alone dad, She means more to me than you know. She encourages me when you won't she is here for me beyond getting me off but you wouldn't care cause any girl or anything beyond racing is a distraction" I told him sternly. After speaking to him I grabbed Iris and P and took them to my drivers room.

Getting inside and closing the door. Giving P her tablet to let her play for a little bit as I talked to Ris. Taking her hand giving it a squeeze "Hey are you okay he is an ass I know" I tried to laugh off to her.

"It's okay Max I'm used to people being like this to me, I've actually had worse things said to me. As long as he doesn't find out this is for Pr we should be okay" trying to laugh it off slightly. Snapping me back to reality about this relationship being Pr, sometimes I forget with how good we have been with each other lately. But making me more upset because she shouldn't be used to this treat from people, giving her hands another squeeze.

Speaking up to her once more "you shouldn't be used to that flower it's not okay, I'll make sure you aren't left with him alone again" brushing her hair behind her ear. I gave her a quick kiss on the temple then the three of us walked back out of the drivers room.

    Passing my dad as we walk closer to the viewing area, being pulled back by my dad I told Iris I'll meet them in a couple of minutes. Turning to my dad once more as he starts to speak "So why is she here again, she knows nothing about racing, you guys are just going to break up and she will write a song about you" with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

I'm fuming with my dad at this point "If she did write a song then what about it, if I'm happy right now it shouldn't matter, P loves her and she is a great person, If you talk to her from now on you will no longer be welcome to my practices or qualifying sessions strictly only the races" I told him an hushed tone then walking away from him not even waiting for a response.

Walking back over to P and Ris as I began to put my helmet on getting ready for qualifying for. Getting my helmet on as I gave P a hug then went up to Ris to hug her as well. "Good luck Max I hope you get pole position" she said to me in her sweet voice. I need to get a grip this isn't real our relationship is for cameras yes we can be friends but it's starting to feel like more, what if I wanted more. I like how we are now I have been better on being less of a dick and she has been fine the whole time cause she is just perfect, I'm just an ass. Thanking her for the good luck she gave me a kiss on my helmet then I got into the car.

Giving him a kiss on his helmet before he got into the car and was off for his qualifying. I seriously don't know how people can be here watching specifically like friends and family, this is so nerve racking but in the best way possible in a way. Knowing this is Max's passion makes it more fun but knowing anything can happen good or bad at any moment isn't the best feeling but I let it settle in the back of my mind as I watch Max do amazing in qualifying.

We were at the end of Q3 and Max is about to finish his last lap of qualifying signifying he will have pole position for tomorrow's race which was really exciting. Grabbing P and we head to his drivers room passing Jos making slight eye contact with him, sending me dirty looks but I really don't give a shit especially not about some old man who acts like a boy who make themselves feel better by putting down women.

   Waiting for Max for a couple minutes before seeing him walk into the room once again with his race suit hanging off his hips and this time sweaty and messy hair. Looking away quickly, fuck I'm totally screwed if I have to see him after every race like this I'm going to be down bad. He got ten times hotter just from the disheveled hair now imagine him wining. Looking back up at him as he was bent down talking to P lowly before standing up and walking over to me.

    I was sitting on the couch with my feet laid across as well, he lifted my feet up slightly so he could sit down and cool off then setting my legs back down this time on his lap. I congratulated him as soon as he got comfortable "Congrats on Pole you did amazing out there".

    P also joined in on the congrats "Yes good job daddy, you did super duper good today" as she jumped up in between us settling in on the couch as well.

      Max smiling at her as she told him that "Thank you my flowers all I need are you guys, but daddy still needs a race to win tomorrow" he chuckled out to P.

    We soon gathered our stuff to go back to the hotel to get a goodnight sleep in preparation for the race.
