Carousel du Louvre, Paris.

Annual Formula One prize giving gala.

<<Guys!!You don't know the latest!>> yelled Catalina running towards her friends

<<Hey what's up?>>

<<Ok ok, they decided to add a charity event to tonight gala>>

<<That's actually pretty nice>> said Min

<<Yeah indeed, drivers will have to model on the runaway with... their wags!!>>

<<Oh so now we have to participate?>> asked Audrei in desbelief.

<<Yeah well... you already have to walk on the red carpet after the party.. it's no big difference>> said Min with a smile.

<<Red carpet?? Oh my, why am I doing this??>>

<<Because you love me?>>

<<Yeah... >>

<<Wait, have you seen Henry? He was here a second ago...>> asked Javier.

<<I'll go look for him...>> said the half Italian walking away.

She found the Brit in the backstage sitting on one of the stage steps.

<<Hey lad>>

<<I don't wanna do runaway...>>

<<It's not that big of a deal...>>

<<It is! I don't know who to ask... mean you and Catalina are my only female friends and of course me and Javier can't go together... so I suppose we'll have a problem...>>

<<I heard he reached out to a friend here in Paris>>

<<WHAT?! Perfect now I am lone... I guess I'll have to go ask one of the models...>>

Meanwhile.

<<Ah the two of you.. Aren't they a perfect couple? Even if you're an annoying journalist, I like you!>> said James Beckett, Matthew's boss, approaching the group of friends.

<<Appreciate James, I'll take that as a compliment>> said Catalina

<<So... how's it going with the new house.. I can't wait to see it!!>>

<<NEW HOUSE?!?!>> yelled both Javier and Min surprised.

James left after a dead stare from the "prefect couple" pretending he didn't know them.

<<So guys, we meant to tell you this...>>

<<Yeah take your time, like.. we are not your friends>> scoffed Javier

<<Guys, you're moving together that's great! I am so happy for you!>> said Min smiling.

<<At least you'll keep living in England...>> mumbled Javier rolling his eyes

<<Actually....>> said Matt

<<Oh my gods you're gonna live in Monaco! I am even happier now!>> yelled Min loudly.

<<hey guys, I forgot my jacket here...>> said Audrei coming back to their table.

<<You did Bingo! Besides your bf, now your best friend is Monegasque too, congrats>>

<<Wait.. what do you mean Javier?... NO NO WAY THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE TOGETHER IN MONACO>>

Catalina on the verge of tears hugging her best friend <<YEA>>

<<THAT WAS LIKE YOUR BIGGEST DREAM EVER!! I AM SO HAPPY>>

<<Aw Matt come here too>> said the half Italian hugging them.

Javier storms off like 'yea whatever'

<<What is up with him?>> asked Audrei

<< I don't know, he's just mad because we told him now, maybe>> said the Dutch

<<oh really...>>

<<I think it's not that, maybe there's something else, I'm gonna investigate>> said Catalina

Matt hugged her waist and the girl put her hands on his hips and he told her <<Good luck babe, this is your first big gig I am so proud of you>> and they shared a little kiss.

At that point the two girls left walking towards the backstage.

The runaway started.

The couples followed one after the other on the catwalk showing off their stunning haute couture outfits all presented by the F1 journalists Catalina Martinelli and Nicole McHale.

Right after the end of the show all the lights went off until, after a couple of minutes, a single spotlight was turned on pointing to the centre of the stage. In that light beam appeared Javier dragging behind him a confused Henry. Meanwhile in the backstage everyone was confused because it wasn't on the schedule.

<< Nicole, I am gonna go see what's going on>> said Catalina walking to the stairs

<<No wait, look!>> her colleague stopped her pointing to the two guys.

<<W-what are you doing?! What's all this?>> whispered the Brit

<<Listen Henry ...>> started the Spaniard on the microphone << I know it might be scary but i want everyone to know what's the truth...... i can't keep it a secret anymore, it's becoming more and more difficult every day. I LOVE YOU HENRY RICHARD HUGHES!>>

The Brit opened the mouth to say something but no words came out of it for the shock; the only thing he could do was smile. As his boyfriend saw that little grin on his lips he leaned over, smiling too, a kissed him passionately. The carrousel exploded of cheering.

By the end of the night the six friends reunited outside.

<<So... this is probably the last night we spend together, from tomorrow we'll live in three different cities, in two countries can you believe it? I say let's finish it on a high!>> said Javier.

<<Good speech Javi, let's go!>> said Audrei with a smile

They shared one last look before walking down the street holding each other hands.
