Love, Eternal

Elite

The next morning was rather interesting to say the least for Nola and Pierre, they had a heated workout, and Nola was glad to be having a shower to cool off. She got out the shower and her phone was ringing, she quickly wrapped a towel around herself and picked it up from the table next to her bed.

"Hello?" Nola answered the unknown number cautiously

"Hello Nola, it's Andrea Montessori. I work with Elite Milan, I've been sent through some information about you, and saw your recent work with Springfield. We wanted to see if you would come and have a sit down with us to work our your future options"

"My future options?" Nola was shocked, she didn't expect this call at all, she thought everything had just gone cold with that side of things

"Yes, we would like you to work with us. But we want to have a chat, a sort of interview if you like to work out if it's the best fit and to agree some terms and work out some things" The woman spoke, she sounded friendly and cheerful, with a strong Italian accent

"Seriously? Wow"

"I can email you all the information, you'll need to fly to Milan if that's okay, we can cover the cost of your travel and accommodation, if this is the case please let me know by responding to the email"

"Thank you, I shall do, this is amazing, thank you so much"

"Of course we will see what happens, but we're excited to see you"

"I'm excited to thank you"

"Look over the email and I hope to hear from you soon"

"Amazing, I will look now. Thank you"

"Goodbye Nola, any issues or queries just email me"

"Goodbye Miss Montessori"

Nola dropped her phone on the bed and stood in shock. What had just happened? She got dressed quickly and sat down opening up her laptop to look at the email. She quickly ready through it, the email had an Elite Milan header, it was all real. Loads of information in the email, about the company and what they want to do, along with a date and time for the meeting. The 14th June, 11am. This was insane for Nola. She read through everything and replied to the email saying she would be attending, she would need a flight and accommodation. She closed her laptop and stared ahead of her, completely dumbfounded. She was brought out of her thoughts by her phone ringing again, Pierre.

"Hey, I'm outside. Are you ready?"

"Yeah be down in a second" Nola said as she got up, she ended the call and grabbed her things, an oversized t shirt and cycling short kind of day today. She put on her sunglasses and walked out the door and to the lift to take her downstairs.
Nola was quiet as she rode with Pierre in the car to the track, she didn't want to tell anyone about the meeting, she wanted to see what would happen. She had anxiety about travelling alone but she was going to do it anyway. Pierre noticed Nola was off, as they got out the car he turned to her.

"Everything okay?" Pierre asked, tucking some hair behind Nola's ear

"Yeah all fine, just tired" Nola said, she was lying and she didn't like it, but she wanted to keep her news to herself. Pierre smiled

"I knew you couldn't handle it" Pierre chuckled, Nola poked him in the chest making him laugh more.

"Come on let's go" he took Nola's hand, satisfied with her answer before they walked into the paddock and to the Alpha Tauri trailer.

The news from this morning put Nola in a good mood all day, Pierre and Charles both did well in practice, it didn't account for much but knowing there way around the track and knowing they were both getting the speed was good. Pierre came back into the garage between sessions and climbed out of his car to speak to his engineer quickly. Nola smiled over to him from the screen she was watching at the back of the garage.

"I love you" Nola whispered as he came over to her, she felt guilty about not telling him about Milan, but she wanted to go and do it herself and make sure there was some good news before telling anyone

"I love you" Pierre answered, he was sweaty and hot and it made Nola push him away

"Ewwww" she laughed

"I thought you liked it when I was sweaty" Pierre winked

"Oh ssh" Nola laughed, Pierre got himself ready for the second practise and Nola was left on her own again, well not completely she had Layla as normal and plenty of engineers and mechanics with her, they were always nice to her which made Nola feel right at home, as if she was in the Ferrari garage.

"Just gonna do my media bits and then we can head back to the trailer" Pierre said to Nola as he came over. His race suit around his waist exposing his body in his fireproofs, Pierre smirked when he saw Nola's eyes drop and rake over his body, he kissed her forehead before taking her hand and walking out the back of the garage following Layla

"One day I might just be able to look at you without my mind wandering somewhere else" Nola mumbled so only Pierre could hear

"I hope not" Pierre laughed

"Why?"

"Because I've waited long enough for you" Pierre said, it made Nola smile but she felt guilty about it

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be, it was all worth it" Pierre said

"Stop being mushy" Nola laughed before Layla pulled him into the media pen, Nola lingered outside waiting

"Bestie" Lando greeted his friend

"Hey hey" Nola smiled as Lando sat down with her

"You okay?" He asked her

"Yesss, you feeling good?"

"Yep all good here, when are you next going to jump on Charles' stream?" Lando asked her laughing, he liked it when Nola joined in, she was like one of the guys, and she always beat George and Alex no problem which made them all laugh

"Aww do you miss me?"

"Always" Lando snickered while nudging her slightly

"I'll make sure of it when we're home, sound good?"

"Yessss. Maybe I should do a games night round mine" Lando said

"That would be so funny, do it" Nola laughed

"Sorted, Tuesday when we get back to Monaco" Lando said

"Oh I won't be home Tuesday" Nola said, her eyes darting away from Lando, he skipped over it rather quickly not phased

"We'll have to do it when we come back from Canada then"

"Let's, then we'll have plenty of time" Nola smiled, she caught Pierre's eye as he came towards the pair

"We'll invite Pierre, I know he plays with Charles often"

"Yeah sounds good" Lando gave his friend a hug before jumping up to meet his PR, he fistbumped Pierre as they passed each other. Pierre reached Nola and took her hand pulling her up

"Lando's doing a games night when we're back from Canada with the guys, wanna go?" Nola asked

"Are you going?"

"Yep"

"Yesss, I can show you how good I am"

"Yeah yeah Gasly" Nola rolled her eyes and laughed as they walked down the paddock

"Don't doubt my skills" Pierre chuckled

"Don't doubt mine" Nola laughed and nudged him as they got into the trailer.
