Nola is the younger sister of Monégasque formula one driver Charles.
Being close to her older brother means she now travels the world with him as he races in a Ferrari car, delve into the rollercoaster of events, emotions and trials of Nola.
Pierre walked through the paddock, he was on cloud nine after spending the night with Nola, it sounded stupid in his head but it's what he had thought about for ages. He smiled and looked towards the Ferrari building and saw her on the terrace. Just sitting there scrolling through her phone. He took out his phone and messaged her.
"Look down" the message flashed up on Nola's phone, from the terrace she saw Pierre standing across the paddock he waved and then walked down the back. Nola smiled and assumed he wanted her to follow him. "I'm just getting a drink" Nola shouted to Charles as she passed his room. He nodded and didn't pay much attention. Nola went downstairs and across to where Pierre was hiding. He had walked all the way down the back to behind his trailer, she caught up with him and he had the biggest grin on his face. "Hey you" he said to Nola as he pulled her into him straight away "Hey person I haven't seen in a couple of hours" Nola said laughing, she leaned her head on his chest. She could feel every muscle and line while he was in his white suit, the tight fitting material hugged his body while his race suit hung around his waist. He might as well have not been wearing the top, it hugged his chest and his abs as if he was topless like this morning. "Good luck today" Nola mumbled into his chest, "and be safe" she said to him. This would be the first race Nola had two people to worry about, not that she didn't already worry about Pierre, but it felt now intensified and her anxiety was bad. She was scared every time Charles got in the car, she would be praying for Pierre as well as Charles "You say that to Charles don't you?" He asked "Yeah, every time" Nola replied, she huffed him tighter, her anxiety clearly showing. Pierre felt her tense up, he knew she suffered with anxiety and things, he didn't want her to worry "I'll be safe, I promise" he titled Nola's chin up so their eyes locked, "just enjoy the race and I'll be back in no time" he said, he clearly could sense something. Nola nodded at him and reached up and kissed him gently, he kissed back. The kiss was certainly full of care, and compassion, need and worry rather than lust and want like before. "I've gotta get going, I've got my pre-race briefing" he mumbled Nola smiled knowing she had to get back to Charles "I'll see you later" Nola said to him and he smiled "I hope you mean that" he said smirking. Nola walked away and then turned around to look at him again "By the way, I appreciate the tight fitting top you got there" She said smiling which made him laugh before he stepped into the trailer.
Charles was sat in his room with Nola, they were waiting for Charlotte who said she's fine and was coming to the race, Nola was glad as she would rather Charles not be thinking or worrying about her when hes in a car, and he's got a race to win. "You feeling okay?" Nola asked her brother "I am, gotta keep my head down and do my thing" he said. His trainer was also in the room and started doing some reflex training with him to get him ready for the race "I need to do that one day" I said to him laughing, he smiled and began. Nola's phone buzzed and she saw Charlotte ringing, she stepped outside the room and answered. "Nola, can you come meet me? There's so many people here and I've never walked in on my own" Charlotte said on the phone as soon as Nola had answered "I'm coming" Nola said to her. Nola slipped her phone in her pocket and walked down the stairs and out the door of the Ferrari trailer. She left the paddock through the gates and literally there was swarms of people, Nola wasn't sure how she was going to manage this. She battled her way through to the car Charlotte was in and opened the door. "Hey hey" Nola said to her, Charlotte let out a breath "Thank you!" She said as she jumped out the car and hugged her friend tight "Come on, going to the garage soon" Nola said to her. The girls linked arms and both slipped sunglasses on and putting their heads down as they battled through the cameras and the fans. Suddenly understanding what Charles said earlier, this is a nightmare. Nola was impressed with herself, this didn't panic her in the slightest, she found it odd that out of all things this wasn't something she worried about. As the girls got into the paddock, Charlotte let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, the safety of the gates keeping them all out. There was cameras and fans in the paddock but minimal, most waited outside all day. They walked down the paddock and Nola saw Charles and Carlos walking in their race suits. "Charlotte? Nola? Where were you?" Charles said as he walked over quickly "Trying not be trampled by photographers" Charlotte said, giving Charles a hug, "Nola rescued me" she said "You shouldn't have been out there by yourself!" He scolded "Woahhh, we're fine" Nola knew what he meant and he was just worried for his sister and his girlfriend. He let go off Charlotte and put his arms round Nola's shoulders "I just want you to be safe" he muttered "And I am" Nola said poking his ribs, which made him laugh "Race time" Carlos shouted as he looked at his phone.
Nola watched the race in the garage with Charlotte after doing her normal prayer, clutching at the cross that hung round her neck, Nola wasn't religious as such, but she had faith that someone was looking out for Charles, for herself, for them all and it brought her comfort to pray and to believe. Carlos didn't have a good race and had a DNF, as did Max which Nola was happy about as it took the pressure off of Charles a little. She watched for Pierre as well, making sure he was okay.
"As Charles Leclerc takes the fastest lap of the race and wins the Australian Grand Prix" Nola jumped up and was yelling, Charlotte was screaming and they both started hugging and cheering, the rest of the garage were out on the pit Lane leaning over the track. He did it again, Nola was proud already but she had never been prouder. This is his time!! Pierre finished 9th, better than he started, but Nola was glad they both made it home safely. Nola's phone started buzzing ridiculous amounts at notifications and messages, she couldn't imagine what Charles' phone was like. Charlotte and Nola went out and joined the rest of the team to welcome Charles in, herself and Charlotte dived on him. Charles stepped out of the car and jumped at his team, cheering and shouting. He found his sister and girlfriend and hugged Charlotte. "I'm so proud of you! So insanely proud. My big brother" Nola yelled at him. Charlotte let go and Charles grabbed hold of his sister and pulled her over the barrier and spun her around, in excitement. Another win, another victory. Charles was doing everything he has wanted to do since he was a child, his face was a picture, you couldn't wipe the smile away. He got pulled off to do his media and go up on the podium where the team all stood and cheered as he lifted the 1st place trophy on the top step, Nola took pictures to show him later, they certainly wouldn't forget this, but pictures are necessary for the memories!
