Love, Eternal

Trailer

Pierre drove the steep hills of the mountain along the road for a little while. Nola kept asking Pierre where they were going and he said just wait. Nola wasn't panicked but she didn't like not knowing. They finally stopped in a makeshift car park at the top, Pierre smiled and got out the car and came round to Nola's side, he opened the door and took her hand before helping her out the car.
"What are we doing?" Nola asked him. He smiled and turned Nola round to look out. It was the circuit they would racing on in a few days, but they were looking over the top of it, the sun was setting and casting a beautiful orange glow across the track. Pierre loved being up here whenever he raced in Italy, he wanted to bring Nola, he wanted to combine his two favourite things, her, and racing.

"I know it's not a lot. But racing is in your blood, as well as mine. We were always going to find each other, whether that was when we were kids, or as adults now" Pierre wrapped his arms around Nola's waist and rested his chin on her shoulder while she looked over at Imola. She was in awe of its beauty and loved that he brought her here, this was something she appreciated and she was glad he knew her well enough.
"I know you're scared and got your walls up, I will prove to you every single day for the rest of our lives how much I want to be with you, I will love you and care for you exactly as you need, every single day. I don't want anyone else, yes I crushed on you as a kid but this is completely different and not what I expected. I think I'm falling for you Nola" Pierre had been wanting to say that forever. Nola was shocked by his words, they surprised her as she never expected it. He turned Nola round to face him
"I want to be with you, Nola. No one else, you" he said to her again, his blue eyes were being lit up by the setting sun as Nola looked up at him. She smiled, putting her arms around his waist as his were around hers.
"You've got a lot of sucking up to do Gasly" Nola mumbled
"And I will" he said, he leant down and placed a soft kiss on her lips. He would do everything and anything for her
"You're annoying you know that" Nola said as he pulled back
"Why?"
"Because I hate you and like you all at once. I'm annoyed with you but I don't want to not be around you" Nola said
"That's my charm" he said with a smirk. Nola pecked his lips quickly before she turned back around and leaned against him as she watched the sun set. She was so scared of all the good.. and the bad that could happen. But she knew that life wasn't worth living if you didn't risk it all and go for it, if you didn't fully immerse yourselves in the good, what's the point?

After such a nice evening, Pierre drove Nola back to her hotel. She didn't want him to leave but she had to go to bed, as did he as he was preparing for the race, so he got her out the car, kissed her goodnight and Nola left him and went up to her hotel room. She walked in the door and had a smile on her face. Pierre text her immediately, Nola opened her phone and looked at the message.
"I miss you already. I'll see you in a couple of days"
She smiled and typed a reply before putting her phone on charge and getting ready for bed.

The next few days sped by, Nola had managed between hectic schedules to see all of her brothers, which was nice, but before she knew it they were headed to the track on Friday. The rain had returned and Nola didn't like it. There was rain on that day at Spa. She tried to remain positive. Pierre had text Nola everyday, almost all day. He was being very nice, making an effort and it made Nola smile to see his name on her phone. Charlotte had gone home now as she couldn't stay away from work any longer which was gutting. It was just the Leclerc siblings. Arthur and Lorenzo were already at the same track, with Arthur doing his practices earlier than Charles.

"Nola, allez" Charles said to his sister, she was sitting there in a daze and he was standing with the door open to his car and an umbrella up. Nola didn't even notice him parking or anything.
"Sorry" She stepped out under the umbrella and they walked into the paddock, down to the Ferrari trailer, it was quiet this morning which was weird as Nola was used to it being busy. Charles and Carlos had some bits to do with engineers and then signing of some stuff for fans before they would sneak off and go and watch Arthur. Thankfully Nola got to follow Charles around and watch as he did his thing. She enjoyed being as involved as she was, she had special permission from Ferrari to do so as she would be there all season. But she would be lying if she wasn't already looking over her shoulder for that familiar face, but she didn't know if he was at the paddock yet or not.

Nola sat down on the sofa in Charles' room and pulled out her phone, taking the time to post new content on her Instagram, she enjoyed doing something like this it was creative and she needed something to fill the time. Charles started signing some things as he chatted with his sister.

"Have you spoken to Pierre today?" He asked Nola
"I sent him a text replying to his message from last night but he hasn't no" Nola said shrugging, she wasn't too concerned, he was probably so busy as Charles was
"Are things good?" He asked
"I assume so, he hasn't stopped texting all week so I'll let him off today" She said laughing, Charles smiled
"I want you to be happy Nola, and I feel like he will make you happy" he said, Nola looked up at him and saw he had turned to face his sister "Just do what you want to do, not what anyone else wants, don't listen to anyone else, just listen to what you think is right" he said
"Stop being so soft" Nola said to him throwing a cushion at him, he laughed and chucked it back at her when he caught it. As if on cue Nola's phone sounded and Charles smirked before turning back to the table to carry on signing. He saw the smile on Nola's face and he knew who it was.
"Come and see me. Trailer"

Nola excused herself from Charles who waved her off laughing. She walked down the paddock towards the end where the Alpha Tauri trailer was, Pierre's team. She assumed he meant around his trailer, she stood leaning against the side of it hiding under the Ferrari umbrella, she wasn't very inconspicuous.
"That team isn't allowed round here" Pierre spoke when he came round the back of the trailer and saw the red umbrella. He stepped underneath when Nola moved it slightly, standing very close to her.
"Well I wasn't going to get wet, and you'll have to get over it" Nola said smiling
"I'll make you a fan of mine one day"
"My loyalties lie with my brother, always" She said joking, he clutched his heart in protest
"That hurt Nola" he laughed
"Just shut up and kiss me already" Nola muttered. Pierre smirked and wasted no time in closing the gap between them and kissing Nola's lips.
