Pierre left Nola after giving her a hug, he couldnt do much more, everything was private and he didn't know who could be watching, he wanted to kiss her and tell her everything was going to be okay. She definitely seemed calmer than when he first arrived which was something he took comfort in on his way home. The drive home was a lot less anxiety filled than this mornings drive for Nola, she was driving along and was halfway back to Imola when her phone rang through the car, stopping the music from playing.
"Charles"
"Nola hey, where are you?"
"About half an hour away"
"Okay that's fine, we'll go for dinner?" He posed the question with some hesitation which was a bit odd.
"Erm yeah sure, I'll get ready as soon as I'm back"
"Sounds good, see you in a bit"
"Bye Charles"
"Nola?" He spoke before Nola could end the call
"Yeah?"
"Love you" Nola smiled, she could tell Charles was worrying about something. She would be back soon enough to see what was wrong
"Love you to Charles"Nola got back to the hotel and went up to her room, she knocked on Charles' door on the way so he knew she was back. He opened the door and smiled pulling Nola into a hug.
"Charles you're acting like everytime you see me could be the last time" Nola said into his chest
"I'm just worried about you"
"You don't need to, I'm feeling much better. Might even go to the beach tomorrow and just relax" Nola said to him. Whatever Pierre had done, or whatever had happened had changed something. Charles smiled and nodded at his sister, she looked better. He knew it wasn't an overnight thing and she would suddenly be okay, but he would be with her every step of the way to build her back up.
"I'll go with you" Charlotte called out, Charles smiled bigger
"Sounds good. Now go get dressed so we can go for dinner" Charles said, Nola nodded and left his doorway and went into her room to get dressed.Nola was killing time by being vain and taking some pictures in the mirror of her outfit, she was feeling confident and happy. She was wearing a black knitted long sleeve dress that hugged her body and had wide long sleeves at the wrist, with over the knee heeled boots and a cross body bag that Nola put over her shoulder. Charlotte was already in the doorway of her room holding the door open when Nola approached, she looked stunning as always.
"Is he still not ready?" Nola asked her
"Not really, I'm trying to hurry him up" she said laughing
"I'm here I'm here" Charles said as he walked to the door, "you okay?" He asked. Nola nodded and smiled, she felt like she had her energy back. She was a bit apprehensive about doing anything but she knew she needed to, to break out of the cycle, especially if she was going to be surrounded by people next weekend for the race.The three of them went to dinner and it was nice and calm, apart from the cameras following them and snapping pictures every chance they got. Nola laughed, she was with a formula one driver and his high profile already well know girlfriend, of course they would be here. She was thankful it didn't panic her like she thought it would. They had a nice evening and lots of laughter between the three of them and Nola felt nice and calm. Just what she needed, as they were in the car, Charles driving, Nola pulled out her phone when it made a noise and saw Pierre's name on the screen.
"I'm glad I got to see you, I hope you're feeling okay. Can't wait to see you again, please call me if you need anything or just want to chat" Pierre text, Nola typed a reply out. She thought that she would call him this week at some point, it would be nice
"Checking in on my new bestie, how are you doing?" Was Lando's message, she smiled at how lovely he was being. She replied to him, which he then responded quite quickly, so they text back and forth
"What are you smiling at?" Charles said, Nola looked up and saw him looking in the mirror
"Would you rather me be miserable?" She joked
"No no, just curious that's all" He replied
"Lando keeps texting me to check in" Nola shrugged
"Ooh Lando!" Charles said with a wink
"Not like that Charles, he has a girlfriend?" Nola said
"I know, I'm only winding you up. Lando's a great guy, I'm glad" he said
"And also Pierre" Nola said finally, letting Charles have what he clearly wanted, his face beamed again and he winked at his sister
"Of course. How did today go?" He asked
"Good, we're all good. He got jealous and he apologised and yeah we'll just see what happens" Nola said
"He was very worried about you" Charlotte said
"I know, I guess I scared a lot of people" Nola mumbled
"It's not your fault, so don't worry" Charles said. Nola nodded and realised they had got back to the hotel.The next day Charles got up early to travel to the factory, so Charlotte went to Nola's room and the girls got ready before going downstairs to the restaurant in the hotel to have breakfast.
"I am so ready to lay on the beach all day!" She said as she put her food on the table and sat down
"So am I!"
"Charles said there's this really nice beach club near where we're going so we have food and drinks nearby all day" she said
"Ooh yes!" Nola was so glad she was here. Although she was normally okay on her own, sometimes she just needed to have support and be with someone, particularly after the turbulent week.Nola had started focusing on a fashion and inspiration element to her Instagram, much to Charles' delight. He was taking some credit for the idea. She had started working on it while they were here in Italy to focus on something so she wasn't dwelling in anxiety. So she was frequently uploading outfits and styling inspiration. She looked down at her phone.

maxverstappen1 need a warning before posting something like this😉🤣
charlottesiine 🥵🥵🥵🥵The girls were currently on the beach just laying in the sun, enjoying the sounds of the water and people. Nola opened it up while she ate her fruit on the sun lounger and laughed, she had so many notifications on her post from todays outfit choice. She had got Charlotte to take some pictures to help her out for gram.
Nola found it hilarious how she had comments from the guys, which attracted more attention from other people. She was going to use the time she was travelling to boost herself and hopefully encourage others to be inspired, brave and talk about certain things, particularly about struggles like the ones Nola faced. She wanted it to reflect positivity and fun, it was going to be her focus and when she wasn't watching the guys race, she would be doing that.
