'Am I the only believer. There's something happening here.' - Girl Almighty, One Direction

„I need your help!"
„What's going on?" she asked her friend worriedly.
„I need you to come with me to the Amber Lounge Gala tomorrow."
„You're kidding Pierre. Why would you need me to go with you?"
Well, that certainly wasn't what she expected to hear when she saw that Pierre was calling her a minute ago.
Fiona was just coming back from doing some grocery shopping and had just started putting everything away, when her phone rang. She expected him to call her to let her know he arrived in Monaco and if he could come over or something like that.
It was Tuesday afternoon and she wanted to get it done before the streets where going to be packed with people, in anticipation of the upcoming race that Sunday.
Needless to say, Grand Prix week was the busiest time of the year in Monaco. Never were there more people bustling in the streets and trying to be as near to the action as they possibly could.
Life totally stopped during that week. Everything was directed by race and event schedules.
Fiona had planned to stay away from all events excepts the driving sessions, as she wanted to totally focus on them and getting through them the best way she possibly could.
So her first instinctual reaction to Pierres proposal was instantly to decline.
As it would turn out though, he had good reasons.
The Frenchmen took in a very audible breath and by the way he did that, Fiona could already picture him running a hand through his hair and messing it all up.
„I broke up with Kate."
That however was something she kind of saw coming. He hadn't talked to her about it, since they first did two weeks ago in France. The fact that he didn't was an indicator that he really took the time to think about it.
Pierre wasn't one to rush into decisions. He was someone that thought about every aspect that would come with a decision like that thoroughly and he wasn't one to let someone steer him into one he didn't want to make.
Yes, he was happy to seek advice from his trusted ones, but all of his decisions were made on his own.
„I'm sorry you had to do that," she told her friend honestly „I didn't really get to know her that much, but I do think she is a really nice girl. When did you do it and how did she take it?"
„Thanks Fi, she really is. You know I really struggled with the decision because she really is an amazing women. It's just not enough for me. When I was visiting my family after the race I really took the time to think about it. We saw each other a couple of times in the past two weeks, but my mind was made up. So I told her yesterday night.
She was upset, of course. I mean it hurts for me too, but she took it very well and understood where I was coming from. I'm really glad she reacted the way she did. It'll make the transition easier for us and I don't feel as bad."
„So you're okay?" She asked him.
„I am." He replied „That is if you'll accompany me tomorrow."
„Why would I do that?"
„Well, because I don't have a date anymore and it'll be boring without someone to talk to."
„Aren't the other drivers there as well?"
„They are, but they're not gonna sit with me at the team table, are they? Besides, Franz wouldn't like to see the seat next to me empty."
