Love, Eternal

Teasing

"What's bothering you?" Pierre asked. He thought Nola would be in a good mood, she had been happier, so far this week, England was drizzly but she had been smiley and chatty with everyone and enjoying herself, but he watched her cautiously now as they walked back to his room. Nola looked up at Pierre, appreciating his appearance, even in a rain jacket he looked cute, his hair fluffy, his beard nicely trimmed and shaped, his blue eyes glistening. "Nola?" Pierre asked, Nola completely lost herself thinking about Pierre. She snapped back and saw he looked worried

"Sorry, nothing really. Can we talk about something?" Nola asked, they headed straight back out and to Pierre's car.

"Yeah, of course" Pierre said, he worried for what she might need to speak about but also appreciating her wanting to talk about it and not keeping it hidden. Pierre walked hand in hand with her out of the paddock, going through the gates, they got into his car and Pierre started it before he glance Nola's way.

"What's the matter?" Pierre asked

"It's not even a big thing but I don't want to cause an issue with you or with anyone" Nola stopped and sighed again

"Just say what you want to say" Pierre encouraged her along

"I saw Daniel and Lando and was speaking with them and Lando said something about us having dinner, he was joking but I got worried, because of everything that happened last time. Dan said I shouldn't pay attention to what anyone says, if I want to have dinner or hang out with a friend it shouldn't be an issue, but I was also worried about what you would say" Nola mumbled. Pierre frowned

"What I would say if you and Lando hung out?" Pierre asked. Nola nodded, she didn't even look at him and it made Pierre sad. "Nola he's your friend. I overreacted before and it was unnecessary, if you want to hang out with him and have dinners or breakfasts or whatever then you do that. I trust you, I trust him" Pierre spoke

"But what if there's pictures, or comments?" Nola asked

"There's different comments every single day, there's theories about everything. This is what I meant before, everyone's going to have an opinion or something to say, something is always going to be twisted. If there's pictures, so what. I know you'll be coming home to me" Pierre smiled and spoke softly. Nola wasn't sure what to even say, she was so relieved, the worry leaving her, just happiness and calm remaining. She smiled and put her hand on Pierre's leg.

"I'll always come home to you" Nola said quietly

"Good" Pierre took her hand in his and brought it up to his lips to kiss it and smiled

"Especially when there's that to come back to" Nola giggled and gestured to him. The rain jacket gone and he was just in a jumper and trousers, the colours complimenting his complexion well.

"Oh yeah?" Pierre smirked, and dropped Nola's hand, placing his own on her thigh

"I wouldn't start" Nola whispered, she glanced back up at him, their eyes connecting briefly, his looking a little devious and hungry before he looked back at the road

"What if I want to?" Pierre smirked, his hand was dangerously close, Nola grabbed at it and kept it in place in a safe zone

"Why?" Nola mumbled

"Have you seen you? It's not easy for me" Pierre whispered, he shrugged his hand away from Nola's grip and teased her slightly "but we'll have to stop that now" he took his hand away and put it back on the steering wheel

"You can't just tease like that"

"But I can" Pierre winked

"Then I can tease right back, wait for dinner" Nola smirked
