Love, Eternal

French Countryside

Nola couldn't sleep for some reason. Pierre was sleeping peacefully next to her, she huffed and got up pulled on a hoodie of Pierre's and snuck out of the room. She boiled the kettle to make a cup of tea while she played with the cross round her neck. Whenever she couldn't sleep she made tea and chilled out.
She opened the back door and sat outside with her tea, it wasn't cold but it wasn't warm, so she sat and listened to the peace and the wind blowing outside. France was so nice already, quiet time.
Pierre and Nola had dinner, and chilled out watching some tv before going to bed, and Nola had been tossing and turning while Pierre went off to sleep easily. She kept thinking about meeting Pierre's parents, she sipped her tea and sighed. She hated how she felt all the time with some things, and how it made her feel and how her anxiety was. She had spent ages doing therapy to work it out and then stopped when she went off travelling with Charles, she wondered whether taking it up again would help.

Pierre woke up and realised he was alone in bed, he sat up quickly and listened around, he couldn't hear or see Nola anywhere. He got up quickly, and went out to the living room, he saw the back door open. He went over and saw Nola sitting on the sofa outside in a hoodie of his.
"Nola?" Pierre whispered. She jumped and turned round to Pierre "why are you out here?" Pierre walked over to Nola and sat down with her
"Couldn't sleep" Nola shrugged and smiled a little and sipped her tea. "Why are you up?" Nola asked
"You weren't there" Pierre shrugged. Nola put her tea down on the table and laid down so that her legs were across Pierre's. The sofa they were on was comfortable, it was a large dark garden sofa. Nola didn't get a chance to properly look around in the garden but it was dark now.
"Are you okay?" Pierre's voice broke Nola out of her thoughts, she looked over but couldn't see Pierre too well
"Yeah you?" She whispered.
"Just making sure you're good" Pierre ran his fingers along Nola's leg, she was in his hoodie and just had her underwear on underneath. Pierre's hands creeped up along Nola's thigh
"Excuse you" Nola chuckled quietly
"Problem?" Pierre whispered. Nola laughed again and laid back properly with a cushion under her head. She enjoyed the silence again, but her skin burned wherever Pierre's hands went.

Pierre watched Nola, his hoodie barely covering her, her legs were completely out and he knew she wasn't wearing much. He stroked her leg all the way up and she didn't stop him. A smirk crossed his face. He pulled her legs so she was laid properly down which made her gasp. He then got above her, one hand by the side of her taking his weight as he hovered above her, the other hand found the bottom of the hoodie and reached up underneath it.
"You drive me crazy" Pierre whispered
"Mhm" Nola responded
"And now I have you here, all alone, in the middle of nowhere" Pierre spoke. Nola's eyes widened, she wasn't sure if he could see, his tone was stirring up feelings in her.
"Yeah? And what are you going to do about that?" Nola shot back, her hands went along Pierre's back which was bare as he had no top on, she traced her fingers up and down, feeling the goosebumps that she created.
"I have a few ideas" Pierre whispered as his hand had found her chest
"Hmm probably not good ones" Nola said winding him up
"You don't?" Pierre challenged
"Nope" Nola said. Pierre smirked and pulled at her hoodie, pulling it up exposing her body. "We're outside" Nola said
"And there's no other houses for miles, it's not like anyone can see" Pierre said, as he lips found her skin, starting at her collarbones and kissing all over her body. She moaned in response. Nola's hand found the hem of Pierre's underwear, as her other hand grabbed his face, pulling it up to hers. The kiss was heated and was crazy, so much tension and lust and the cold wasn't affecting her at all, she was too busy.

Nola woke up naked and warm in bed. She wriggled and smiled, remembering where she was. Pierre smiled as Nola moved, pulling her to him. He carried her to bed last night after a heated session.
"Morning" Nola whispered, into his chest
"Morning" Pierre whispered kissing her head, "sleep okay?"
"Mhm, yes" Nola smiled
"We need to leave soonish, for lunch" Pierre said
"Nooo" Nola snuggled further into Pierre, tangling her legs with him. "I want to stay in bed longer" Pierre smiled and ran his fingers along Nola's back, her skin was warm and soft
"We can stay for a little while, and then we need to get up" Pierre whispered. Nola nodded and squeezed her arms around him.

Nola was worried, she tried to keep calm. Pierre had knew her well and held her hand as they drove, stroking her hand with his thumb. Pierre knew she had nothing to worry about, he had told his brothers and parents about Nola, his brothers had met her before, and his parents knew her but hadn't met her, but he knew they would love her. They were driving to his parents house, a nice place in the French countryside.
"What if they don't like me?" Nola whispered as they turned up the drive way of Pierre's parents house
"Nola of course they will" Pierre reassured her. She smiled weakly, there was no turning back now.

As they got out the car, Nola tried to calm herself, putting it realistically she could walk into a full paddock, or through a sea of cameras and fans, she met new people everyday at tracks and events. Pierre's parents were just two people, but they were important people. They were Pierre's mum and dad. She followed Pierre up the pathway and to the front door, it swung open as soon as they approached to a dark haired woman, she head a beaming smile. She engulfed Pierre into a hug.
"Pierre, mon fils" his mother greeted him
"Bonjour maman" Pierre spoke back
"Tu dois être Nola" she spoke directly to Nola after letting go of Pierre, she hugged Nola quickly.
"Bonjour Madame Gasly" Nola hugged her back, she had the same sort of security and safety she felt in Pierre's arms instantly.
"Appelle moi pascale" she said as she walked inside with Nola, the two chatting away in French together. Pierre smiled, the two most important women in his life. Nola looked much more comfortable and it made Pierre happy to see. He followed them inside and greeted his dad and brothers. Pierre had 4 half brothers, all older than him. Two from his dads previous marriage, and two from his mothers previous marriage. Pierre's brothers greeted Nola, she was comfortable with them as she had met them when they were younger.
"Papa, c'est Nola" Pierre spoke, greeting his father and introducing Nola. They both chatted, Pierre's father saying he had heard plenty about Nola, which made Pierre embarrassed, they all went on about how he never stopped talking about her. They sat down to eat and Nola chatted away to Pierre's mother the whole time, they got on so well. Pierre smiled and dived into conversation with his brothers and father about things.

"Nola you must come back and visit soon" Pascale told her as they stood by Pierre's car ready to leave. They had lunch, and ended up staying all day, and then had dinner together as well. Nola didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable once, she even played video games with Pierre and his brothers which was a lot of shouting and swearing from the 6 of them.
"We will, I promise. Thank you so much for letting me come here, and for lunch and dinner it's been so nice"
"You're welcome anytime my dear" Pascale spoke, Nola nodded and they hugged again before Pierre opened Nola's door and let her slide into the car. Pierre said goodbye to his mother and the rest of his family before getting in the car with Nola, they drove off, the darkness approaching quickly.

"You okay?" Pierre asked Nola, putting his hand round the back of her neck, his fingers in her hair. Nola smiled, she liked it when he did that
"I'm good. Was it nice seeing them?" Nola asked
"It was, it was good having you there as well" Pierre smiled. They drove back to Pierre's house, Pierre saw Nola fall asleep half way through the journey, he smiled. She looked so peaceful and calm.
