Love, Eternal

DNF

The first two practise sessions went brilliantly for Charles, he got a good feel of the track and set the fastest times which was amazing, Arthur and Nola were very proud of their older brother. Pierre was okay but not great, he had issues with his car. So when Charles was back, Nola left Arthur with him and went to find Pierre. She walked down the back of the garages towards Alpha Tauri.

"Hey" Nola saw Pierre come out and he looked up and smiled at her
"Just what I needed" he sighed and pulled Nola into a hug
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm good, I wanted to see you though so I'm glad you're here" Pierre kissed the top of Nola's head
"As much as I love you, you're all sweaty" Nola moaned pulling away from him, making Pierre laugh
"I was going to shower anyway, come with me?"
"Pierre" Nola looked up at him
"Not like that" he laughed "I meant come to my trailer"
"Am I allowed?"
"You've already signed the right stuff, you can come and go" Pierre shrugged, Nola nodded and they walked together "shocked at me now but wanted to this morning" Pierre remarked as he glanced down at her
"We're surrounded by people now" Nola sighed
"So if we weren't?"
"I'd be all over that" Nola said quickly shrugging. Pierre laughed "especially in that attire"
"Race gear?"
"Yeah. It shows off everything" Nola followed Pierre into the trailer and some of the team smiled and waved at her. They walked upstairs together and into Pierre's room. Pierre opened the navy door with a white number 10 on it and let Nola through. She glided past him, she kissed his cheek as she passed.

Pierre locked the door and turned to face Nola, he walked over and she looked up as he stepped in front of her, he took her face in his hands and planted a kiss on her lips, her hands immediately went round his neck and pulled him in.
"I thought you were showering?" Nola whispered as they broke away from each other, Pierre smirked and ssh'd her as he kissed her again and walked her backwards, Nola hit the desk behind her and Pierre lifted her so she was sitting on it, Pierre standing between her legs, she put her hands on his hips and pulled him closer. They got completely lost in where they were and what they were doing, it was getting extremely hot in the room, hands flying over each other, Nola's top had been pulled off, as had Pierre's race top, Nola trailed her hands down his body, feeling every muscle.

Nola raced to get her clothes on as there was a knock on the door. She couldn't believe what she had just done. Pierre chuckled and pulled on his underwear and a t shirt, it was easy for him. Nola shoved her now messy hair up into a ponytail and sat cross legged on Pierre's bed and took out her phone to be as casual as possible. Pierre opened the door to Pyry.
"You alright?" Pyry asked, looking between the two in the room, thankfully not clicking on
"Yeah I was just going to jump in the shower" Pierre spoke casually, keeping himself between Pyry and Nola
"Oh okay cool, I'll meet you downstairs in a bit then" Pyry shrugged, Pierre fistbumped him and he left before Pierre shut the door again. Nola fell sideways on the bed and hid her face in the cushion. Pierre chuckled
"It's not funny" Nola mumbled in to the cushion. Pierre sat down on the bed and pulled her to him
"Don't worry, he won't have a clue"
"We're literally in a trailer... with your whole team!" Nola whispered but she was worrying
"You were quiet enough" Pierre smirked
"Pierre" Nola laughed and nudged him
"You enjoyed it, stop worrying" Nola blushed at Pierre's words
"Maybe you shouldn't look so hot all the time"
"Can't help that I'm afraid" Pierre smirked again
"At least you're in a better mood"
"How can I not be after that" Nola nudged him and he nearly fell off the bed
"Go shower you"
"Sure you don't want to join?" Pierre winked as he got up
"Go" Nola laughed throwing the cushion at him. "Im gonna go and see Lando" Nola said
"Why?"
"I want to see if he's okay" Nola shrugged
"You really are best buddies aren't you" Pierre spoke. Nola nodded "see you in a bit then" Pierre smiled and kissed her forehead before she left.

Nola walked out of the building and down the paddock and little before reaching McLaren. She couldn't just walk in, she knew that. Luckily Daniel was walking up towards her.
"Hey" Daniel said as he looked up and saw Nola
"Hey, where's Lando?" Nola asked
"In his room, you can probably go up. Let me check" Daniel said, he linked arms with Nola and walked up to the orange building
"I'm getting around here" Nola chuckled, this would be the third team she had been in a building of. Daniel laughed and went and spoke to someone while Nola stood in the doorway, he came back a little while later
"Right, as long as I escort you up and make sure you don't go anywhere you're not meant to you can go and see him" Daniel said, Nola nodded
"Thank you" Nola said as Daniel led her up the stairs, everything was orange blue and white, a complete shock from the obvious red building she was used to
"Don't mention it" he said, he knocked on the white door with a big blue 4 on it "Lando, you've got a visitor" Daniel left Nola at the door to Lando's room and she walked in, Lando was laying on his bed with a white towel over his head
"Lands?" Nola called, sitting on his bed, he smiled, all she could see was his mouth and nose, he lifted his legs and Nola sat back, Lando's legs laying on her lap "you're really not okay?"
"Not really, Luisinha will be here tonight. She's worried"
"Did you see the doctor?" Nola asked
"No"
"Lando!"
"I'll be fine, I've done tests it's not covid. Once I've done the race I'll see them"
"Lando that's really not okay" Nola sighed patting his legs, he removed the towel from his head and looked at her
"Please don't worry, I'll be okay. You can say a little prayer for me for the race" he smiled, patting her hand. Nola nodded and eventually left Lando to rest.

The rest of the weekend flew by, and it was race day. Nola was already in the Ferrari garage with Arthur watching the lights go out for the race. It was a good start for Charles and they all cheered as he kept the lead, Pierre got some damage and wasn't doing so well in the race which gutted Nola, she wanted him to do well. She knew he could, he was a brilliant driver. She watched for Lando, he wasn't well at all this morning, Nola kept texting him to make sure. She had seen Luisinha this morning as well which was lovely for them both, but she watched on the race making sure Lando was okay, all things considered he was driving a great race.
"No! No! No! No what happened? Lost power" Nola looked up at the screen and saw the image of Charles slowing down and getting passed by George, and then Max, and then Checo.
"What?! No!" Nola yelled, which was joined by a lot of yells and noise from the rest of the team. They already had Carlos spin off earlier dropping him back to 6th. This was not going well. The team were already clearing away to allow Charles to bring his car in
"As Lance Stroll and Pierre Gasly make contact" Nola's eyes were back on the screen, thankfully it was minor and Pierre stayed on the track and continued driving. This race was not okay for the guys that Nola wanted so much for. Charles come into the garage and straight out the car to his engineer to find out what happened.
Nola and Arthur watched the screens to see how Carlos was doing, and Lando and Pierre. Eventually Charles came over to his siblings, Nola jumped up and hugged him. He put his arms round his sister and sighed
"I know" Nola whispered to him
"How are they doing?" Charles spoke, letting go. Arthur patted him on the back
"Pierre's struggling a little with damage, 13th, Carlos is up to 4th though" Nola spoke quietly. Charles nodded and sat down to watch the rest of the race with his brother and sister before he inevitably was pulled away for his media duties.

Nola saw the footage of Lando walking straight to the McLaren trailer with Luisinha, he wasn't well. Nola text Luisinha to check in and hoped Lando was okay, before she left the track.
