Unbroken Hopes|| Charles Leclerc X Max Verstappen(Lestappen)Wildest Dreams Book2 House party

After a month of House flipping (by a contractor, they were rich and they ain’t no handyman. Thank you very much) it was finally the day, the day they officially moved in to their new shared home. It had took some discussion on how they wanted the styling done. Charles wanting a lot of whites complimented by some black and grey’s with just a pop of red while Max opted for the bit warmer sandy colours. Bringing a warm but peaceful feel in to their home. But in the end the couple made it work, merching their preferences together.

The place had a big wooden door at the front middle of the house. Where inside it were a lot of open spaces with big windows, giving a warm and light feet to the entire space . Their living room and kitchen connected to big patio doors that brought the outside feel inside. A spacious garden (big for Monaco standards) with grass and some flowers before their favourite part. The view over the sea and the harbour. The view that felt like home.

To celebrate their new home they decided to throw a house warming party for their family and closest friends who would come over later tonight. Charles was in the kitchen checking his notebook again checking if they had arranged everything they needed for tonight. Max who had just put away one of the last boxes encircled his boyfriend’s waist while resting his head on the monegasques shoulder “hi” he breathed in his ear. Charles jumped a little as he hadn’t expected the dutchman but quickly relaxed in his warm embrace “hey” he smiled wrapping his own arms around Max’s.

“I still can’t believe this is ours” Max sighed contently pulling his boyfriend in a little tighter. “Me neither Cheri” Charles sighed happily. “I used to only dream about this…this life, the partner, the house, everything” and at that Max turned him around in his arms, scanning Charles’s green eyes as the corners of his eyes crinkled and the biggest smile krept on his face. “Well it’s true and I’m not going anywhere lief, never” it was a promise the Dutchman intended to keep and at that the monegasque mimicked his boyfriend’s smile wrapping his arms around the Dutchman’s neck, closing the last bit of gap between them telling his boyfriend in between. “I love you Max” he said smiling as Max said “I love you too”

Pulling away ever so slightly Charles looked at the Richard Mille around his wrist smiling cheekily. “We still have some time till our guests arrive” as Max catched on what his boyfriend was implying he was already pulled with him towards the stairs.

“Fuck-fuck-fuck” Charles said as he stubbed his toe against their bed while he was trying to towel his hair dry. “Our first guest will arrive in fifteen minutes”
Max chuckled ever so slightly as he tried to pull his skinny jeans up his damp legs but struggling quite a bit.
“What is so funny?” Charles asked him slightly annoyed as he little toe was still throbbing a bit because of the impact he just had with their bed as well as he was sure they wouldn’t be ready before their guest would arrive.
“If I remember correctly you where the one assuring me there was still plenty of time for a second round” he said teasingly as he had put on his t-shirt as he felt he was being hit with a towel.
“Ow what you did do that for?” He laughed as he turned around as Charles leached his towel out again. “It was not like I heard you complaining mister” he smirked “quite the opposite, eager for more” he laughed loudly as Max now pulled him close to him as he catches the towel that was coming to him the third time. “I never said I was complaining, just your conception of time is a little off” he smirked against his lips. “But now go get dressed” he said as he playfully smacked his boyfriend ass. “There are now only ten minutes left before the guests arrive and our clothes are still everywhere across the house” he laughed as Charles grimaced and hurried to get ready after quickly pecking the Dutchman’s lips.

Miraculously they managed to just put away the last piece of scattered clothing before the doorbell rang and they hurried towards the front door to let in their guest’s in. Charles’s family was the first to arrive before quickly after Max’s family and their invited friends followed. They had a lovely evening showing of their new home. Actually getting complimented on the nice decoration they managed together. Enjoying the good food from their caterer with music playing in the background. Only as the elder guest’s started to leave Daniël proposed to the ones who were still there that “they should go clubbing” as it was a perfect evening to celebrate. Ultimately everybody agreed and they headed out to the city finally ending up at Sassy’s.

——————

Max was sipping on his beer with Daniel, Lando, Martijn and some of Charles’s friend while they watched Pierre, Victoria and Charles go crazy on the dance floor. They laughed loudly at the weird movement of limbs that the three were making. Carefree like there was nothing else in the world. Max got really happy at the sight. His boyfriend thoroughly enjoying himself and having such a good relationship with his little sister. Years ago that was what he only could dream of as he and his sister grew up mostly apart. As she lived with their mum and he lived with his dad.

But now sitting here with Charles’s friends who really had became his own, he counted his blessing at the way his life turned around. He was a double world champion. He was out and proud with the love of his life. Living in the house of his dreams. The relationship with his mom and dad had never been better. A life he was once afraid he could never have. He thought while smiling with a stupidity big grin as he was still watching the dance floor only to be abruptly awakened from his thoughts by Joris.

“Verstappen are you still with us or are you plotting the proposal?” And at that the friends around the table laughed loudly as a fast blush creeps on the Dutchman’s neck and cheeks. Though still a bit flustered he decided to joke along “well what if I was?” He said sticking out his tongue getting the table quite for a second before they started laughing again. “Well you first have to ask us for his hand, you know that right?” Ricardo chimmed in with laughter and at that Max just rolled his eyes and jokingly put up both his middle fingers making the table laugh even more.

“But like we said they asked Martijn to do set” only now Max noticed his friend has left the couch of their private booth and as he looked up at the dj booth he saw his fellow dutchman preparing his stuff with Lando next to him. “Oh nice!” Max said excitedly as he loved Martijns music. He could only hope that his friend would do his favourite song aswell tonight.

Only a couple of minutes later Martijns voice was heared over the speakers as animals started being played and the friend group made their way towards the dance floor in support of their friends who were creating the music.
“Good evening guys, fun to do a little impromptu set with my friend Lando here tonight” Martijn spoke over the speakers after some songs “Though of course we can’t end the evening without this one!” He smiled in to the crowd, first at Max who he winked at before he smiled at Charles too. Starting the intro “guys this one is for you!” And as the first piano tones were heard in the club the couple smiled at each other getting closer and singing along to the lyrics of “high on life”

They jumped along with the song, screaming out their lungs with their arms wrapped around each other. Carefree and for the first time out in public that they really let go and didn’t give a fuck about what everyone thought.Their friends laughing and filming around them. Captivating the sweet and also funny moment between the couple. You never know when they could use it, right?
As the song ended the couple ended up in a passionate kiss and their friends went crazy. Whistling and catcalling around them. Tonight really was the perfect night. Neither one of them would change it for the world.

As Lando en Martijn wrapped up on the podium everyone went back to their booth as Charles offered all of them another round of drinks. As he went to fetch them together with Pierre.
As they sat down Lando scooted closer to Max with a smile.
“You know you two are disgusting right?” Max turned his neck quickly at that. His body tense to only be met with Lando’s big grin. “Ha! You always bite!” The Brit laughed “Disgustingly cute” and at that he quickly relaxed again. “Honestly, I want what you guys have, you guys are so happy” he said with the most genuine voice and smile and Max wrapped his arm around his friend.
“You’re time and person will come Lan” he just smiled back at his friend pulling him in a little before letting go. “She… he?… or them will come” he winked and Lando laughed warmly. “I think I prefer a she” and Max smiled acting fake offended “ey mate, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it” he winked and they both laughed. They chatted some more until Max decided to check on Charles and Pierre if they needed some help with carrying the drinks as they still were waiting at the bar, seemingly chatting.

As Max reached Pierre he clapped him on the shoulder “hey Mate” expecting to see his boyfriend on the other side of the Frenchman only to find out Pierre was talking to a girl. “Hey” Pierre said back as he asked “what can I do for you” obviously slightly trying to get Max to leave so he could return to his conversation with the pretty brunette in front of him. Max just rolled his eyes playfully at him. “I came to look if you and Charles needed any help with the drinks as you two take your sweet time”

“Sure” Pierre laughed. “It’s just an excuse cause you two can’t stay apart” the frenchman joked. “He just went to the toilet he should be back in.. he should have been back already as that was 15 minutes ago, but he is probably just chatting with someone like always” Pierre smiled as he waved the dutchman off, turning his attention back on the brunette again. Max just rolled his eyes and chuckled saying “typical Pierre” mostly to himself as he decided to look for his boyfriend as he didn’t see him in the main part of the club.
“Charles?” He asked as he checked the bathroom’s but no reply came so he decided to look further ending up outside as it was possible Charles went out for some fresh air as he mostly did that at least twice a night when they went out partying.
As he was outside but didn’t saw him an uneasy feeling was starting to set in his stomach.

“Charles?” He called out again but nothing came.
