No Love Greater

CHAPTER FOUR

Have a nice day Mr. Stone", I said as I waved him goodbye after he dropped me at my new apartment. I walked into the one story building which contained a total of four two-bedroom flats with mine located upstairs.

The flight of stairs was not steep so climbing them was not difficult. I opened the door and walked in holding my breath longer and let it all out after I entered.

"Not bad at all", I uttered. Hurriedly dropped my bag on the ground and turned around to lock the door.

The apartment was spacious. The living room was twice the size of my apartment in North Greenwich. A fully serviced apartment with everything a girl needs. The bedrooms were very cozy and it was difficult deciding which I will pick for myself. I eventually settled with the larger one as it had a beautiful painting on the wall and a nice view from its balcony.

"This is way more than I expected", I said to myself. There was a note on the bedside cabinet which had the inscription "Your Car Keys" on them with a Mercedes Benz key just beside it. It seemed like all my dreams were coming true and I had only turned nineteen the month before. I knew I had to make new friends but decided to go along with Paul and Carrie's advice of being careful when mixing with peers.

I realized i needed to do some shopping for groceries, sleepwear and some items at the nearest mall so I would be able to sleep over and after a total of about forty minutes, I was done at the mall and was already back to the flat.

"My grandparents...!!!", I had not called them to say how my meeting went and everything that happened. I facetimed them for almost an hour and they were excited to see how things were progressing.

"Always remember to keep up the good work darling", my grandma said. "Our little girl is all grown up". They blew kisses to me over the phone and we ended the video call with pleasantries.

The call had not even been disconnected for two minutes before Kayla's video call came in.

"I need the deets my friend", she shouted rolling her eyes.

"Will you at least calm down and let me speak?", I said to her. We eventually talked for three hours about a lot of things and all that happened at the headquarters. "I will be meeting the team on Monday", I said to her.

"So Selena, you're going to meet the Lewis Hamilton and acting like it's nothing?", she asked. "I will almost go crazy if i were in your shoes", she added.

"Last time I checked you had a crush on a certain cute Ferrari driver, or am I missing something?", I playfully reminded her.

"Hell no Sel boo, but Mr. Hamilton can sure get it...!!!", she said rather animatedly over the phone and I laughed myself off.

"Anyway, be sure to give me details of everything that goes on with the guys over there, I'm certain there are also hot guys around". "You need a boyfriend please, you need a proper relationship or a boy toy at least", she said batting her eyelashes.

"You know I haven't been with anyone intimately, it will be hard but I'm open to having a relationship now to be honest", I said.

"That's a good start my friend, I will be here to give you any advice you need", she replied. "Everyone here's been asking of you and I'm sure they will be exited to hear about your meeting". "Anyway I've got to go darling, the boo will be here soon and I need to get ready", she announced to me.

"Okay then, we'll talk later Kay, take care and greet everyone', I said to her and ended the call. I got up from the sofa and went straight to my bed.

Hours had gone by and the sun was just beginning to set. The day had been eventful and meeting successful. Now I needed to go to the apartment at North Greenwich and move my things down to this new place.

Stressful, but for the best. I didn't want to maintain two apartments. I contacted the company that assisted me in moving just before graduation and informed them of my need to move again. We finalized everything and made payment after deciding the pick up to be Tuesday by 1pm, which meant I will go back to London the next day to put my belongings back into boxes. The property manager's agreed to refund the sum made for the lease once I sign off the documents too and I was happy it went smoothly.

I sent an email to the modeling agency I was registered to along with the last set of head shots I took for my profile to be updated.

"I will make it with Mercedes", I told myself just before I went into the shower to get ready for bed.

4:30pm the Next day

"All set and ready to go" said the driver of the moving truck. They had wasted a lot of time before they got here.

"Alright then, I will be ahead of you but you already have the delivery address", I said to him and his colleague. The keys had been dropped off at the concierge and they would lock up after we had left.

Everyone walked out and headed to our respective vehicles. I had gotten a full refund which was completely unexpected and sent a message to thank the manager. We got to Brackley in two hours due to an accident on the highway and the movers spent another ten minutes taking my items upstairs. My next door neighbors, a young couple were just coming into the building with their baby in a stroller. They waved and I did the same as they passed us.

"Alright then bye and thank you", I said and waved the movers as they drove off.

I went back upstairs, locked the door, sat down and turned on the television to relax after a stressful day. I brought out my personal laptop and started to read up more articles on all the critical decisions that make a driver successful in Formula 1.

"Lewis Hamilton, what type of person is he?", I said to myself. I was going to be working with him, a Formula 1 World Champion and decided to surf the net. A lot of information popped up online, his way of life, his personal trainer Angela, also doubling as his personal assistant. There were even some posts about her acting like a bodyguard around him at times which sounded extremely funny. An older lady who was a fitness enthusiast and they were very close. Women flocked around him a lot. He had on and off again girlfriends but above all he was extremely good looking and fashion savvy. Eye candy as Kayla would say. This went on for about three hours and when I felt exhausted, I noticed there were so many notes I had made scattered across my reading table.

It took a lot of effort for me to reach the en-suite bathroom in my room for a quick bath but ended up filling the tub and soaking myself in warm water for an hour.

I decided to get as much rest as possible in the remaining days leading to my resumption which I eventually achieved but before I knew it, Monday was here.
