I sighed as I looked into the mirror one more time. 2 weeks ago my dad signed his deal with Red Bull F1 and now we're getting ready in Monaco for this gala event. I glided my hands down the fabric of the dress and I had to admit... I love these gala dresses and how well fitted they are when they're measured.

I grabbed my handbag and went to the lobby where I found my fathers right hand already waiting. Alesandro D'Agostino was Italian and 31 years old right now. He has been trying to get me to date him since forever and my father still encourages him to keep trying because I'll eventually say yes to him... except I won't. He's an ass. He just wants to get into my panties. I joined him as he looked me up and down.

"Gorgeous Opheline. Can't wait to finally put a ring on your pretty little finger. You will get tired from the rock that will be on there."

"Get over it D'Agostino. You'll never get me. Not even when your the last men on this earth."

"You'll come around bambina."

"Don't call me bambina."

"Oh come on don't be a bore."

"Leave me alone."

I rolled my eyes and when I saw my father enter the lobby I moved making my heels tap on the marble floor in the lobby. I was first to enter the limousine and my father and Alesandro joined me not even a minute after. I looked out of the window and saw that the sun was still up. Logical because dinner would be at the event. When we arrived we climbed out. Alesandro held his hand out to help me get out but instead I gave him a death glare before I started smiling for the paparazzi and climbed out of the limousine while slapping his hand away for everybody to see. How embarrassing... for him of course. It just gave me some bad bitch vibes if you ask me. I walked after my father and posed with him and Alesandro before t was time to go inside. My fake smile hurts my cheeks. I walked to the bar and the bartender came right up to me as I stood between some other people.

"Hai do you have some alcohol free drinks?"

"I do. You want some alcohol free wine?"

"Yes please."

He handed me a glass of wine from a different section and I thanked him. I looked to my side to see a guy look at me a little confused.

"Your not even drinking on an occasion like this? Who raised you? Some Godzilla?"

"Not far from that."

I smiled at the blonde guy who I recognized somehow. I turned around again and joined my father his side. I talked and helped him with his business talk and that kind of stuff.

"Excuse me please, I'll go catch some fresh air."

I smiled politely at everyone and walked outside to a balcony that overlooked the harbor of Monaco as the sun started setting. The last sun rays warmed my skin up a little bit as the view was breathtaking and I felt a soft tiny breeze flow through my hair. I let out a sigh as I heard the door open behind me. I turned my head to see the blonde guy I saw at the bar.

"Oh I'm sorry. Do you want me to leave?"

"No it's okay... it's a balcony it should be open for everyone right?"

"True... can I join you?"

"Sure."

He walked towards me and stood still next to me leaning against the railing.

"You look familiar to me... is your father Henry Harrington by any chance?"

"He is."

"Really? He seems cool."

"He's... alright I guess."

"Sorry. I'm Max... Verstappen."

"That's why you looked familiar... driver for Red Bull right?"

"Yep. What's your name?"

"Opheline."

"Well Opheline it's nice to meet you."

"Likewise Max."

I gave him a gentle smile as I turned my head back to the sun and I closed my eyes gently.

"I love the warmth of the sun."

"Me too... I love how it can warm you up on the colder days"

"I wish I could stay in the sun forever... without any duties or anything."

"You know what... come on. I know a place where the sun is more enjoyable... you want to leave?"

"Oh no I can't my father will kill me."

"We'll be back before dinner."

"Okay... let's go then."

He grabbed my hand which send an electricity shock go through my body. His hands were big and warm but fitted mine like a puzzle piece. He gently guided me to his car after we went down with the elevator. He opened the car door for me and I climbed in before he closed the door for me. He walked around and climbed behind the wheel. He started the engine and drove us somewhere. After 10 minutes he stopped on top of a hill. It overlooked Monaco perfectly. He climbed out of the car as I was looking at the breath taking view. He opened the door for me and held his hand out. I took it as he smiled at me. I smiled back at him as I got out. He closed the door behind me and he then proceeded to help me climb onto some rocks with my heels. When we were on top the view was beautiful.

"Wow it's gorgeous here."

"It's my favorite place to visit when I'm at home."

"You live here?"

"I do... what about you?"

"I live in London... would love to move to Monaco though. I love it here."

"It's the reason I moved here."

"Your Dutch originally right?"

"Yea I am."

We both staid silent for a few minutes looking at the view.

"You know... it's weird..."

"What is weird?"

"That I feel the urge to kiss you every time I look at you..."

"What?"

I looked up at the blonde guy who was a little taller then I was even when I wore heels. He was already looking at me with a smile.

"No I'm serious Opheline. I feel the urge to kiss you... it's just a feeling I have."

"Max I'm sorry but that's a weird urge."

"I feel like... you could be that one special someone for me even though I don't know you."

"Somehow... I kind of understand you. It feels too comfortable for not knowing someone..."

"It does."
