The week sped by full of photoshoots, fittings and preparation for the two main fashion walks Nola had. She left home early every morning, and came home late every night. She barely saw Pierre and it had already caused a strain when Pierre tried to meet her for lunch and called while she was working to see when she would be home, it entailed an argument when Nola walked through the door that evening.
"Please don't" Nola rolled her eyes and dropped her bag at the door as soon as she saw Pierre standing in here with his arms crossed, a frown on his face.
"Nola it's 11pm, you left at 5 this morning, I haven't seen you"
"Pierre I'm tired, please can we just drop it"
"No" Nola side stepped Pierre and walked upstairs to their walk in wardrobe, pulling out her pyjamas and ready to get in the shower before heading to bed. Pierre followed her the whole way.
"Nola we argued today, we never do and it wasn't right. I haven't seen you all week, your show is tomorrow an-"
"Pierre, I'm working! The same as you do. You work hard for what you want, I am no different, I need to do this. I have sat around a hundred tracks watching people work hard around me, I've watched my brothers work non stop for what they want, same for you, while I sit idly by achieving nothing. Now you're arguing because I'm not home at the right time for you?" Nola spun round, facing Pierre in the doorway. He looked angry, but Nola was sure she was angrier
"Don't say you haven't achieved anything" he said
"I haven't. I've spent three years doing nothing, following people around, never earning for myself. I'm actually enjoying myself and you're being like this. You're quite literally bursting my bubble"
Nola was pissed off, to put it lightly. The beginning of the week, Pierre knew he wouldn't see Nola a lot, she had so much to do, but he didn't realise that it would basically be a couple of days at a time, he didn't like it. He missed her, and he knew he was being unfair but he couldn't help it, he was also scared she would work so hard that she wouldn't be okay, he was always scared for her. Pierre changed his attitude completely and walked towards Nola, she matched his calming energy immediately, his moods had that affect on her, she felt calm when he was, happy when he was happy, and angry when he was angry, as if they were half of the same soul, Nola placed her hand on his cheek as he stood in front of her.
"I want this Pierre, and I'm not going to do the minimum, and just do a 9 to 5 everyday. I need to work hard, I need to put everything into it. To push every single boundary, I've spent far too long being scared and locked away, I just want to do this, I know you miss me, I know you want me here. But please just understand that this is for this week, once the shows are done, I will be all yours. I just need you to be there to support me..." Nola paused before locking her eyes on Pierre's "please" she pleaded. Pierre's heart nearly broke.
"I will always support you Nola, I'm sorry. I'm sorry" Pierre spoke. Nola buried her head in Pierre's chest, her arms wrapping around him. Pierre kissed the top of Nola's head. Pulling her tighter to him. They stayed like that for a while in silence before Pierre pulled away from Nola.
"I'll make you some tea, go shower and get yourself in the bed pea" Pierre whispered. Nola nodded and Pierre went to walk away, but Nola grabbed his hand and tiptoed to kiss him as he came back facing her.
"You forgot to kiss me" Nola pouted, Pierre chuckled and kissed her forehead and smiled before Nola let him go again.
Nola finally climbed into bed next to Pierre and drank her tea while watching the tv he had on. Before finally laying down and cuddling into him with a yawn.
