Just friends?

Chapter 50

I open it. "Chocolate!" I hug Pierre. "Oh I love you so much."

"Because you love me or because I bought you chocolate?"

"The last one." We laugh. "Do you want some?"

I know that he wants it, how he looks at the little Milka harts is unbelievable.

"I'm on a diet." He tries to defend himself.

"Here, one won't do any harm."

"If I'm overweight you're the one explaining."

"Yeah, it'll be fine."

SATURDAY

"Are you feeling okay again?"

"Yes Pierre, you've asked me like fifty thousand times already."

"I'm just worried about you."

"I know, but I'm fine, really."

We drive to the track with Max and Lando, I drive because they gave me one last chance but I don't think that they'll give me another one.

It's quite busy but I stay in the Red Bull garage and do my own thing.

FP3 ended and I walk around to find Pierre when I bump into George. "Oh I'm so sorry George, I really didn't see you."

"That's hard, to not see me."

"You know what I mean."

"Of course, but I was wondering, do you want to go on a date with me."

"I'm sorry to bring it to you, but I have a boyfriend."

"Ohw, I didn't know."

"You couldn't know, we barely told anyone."

"Let me guess, Pierre."

"100 percent right."

"I'm happy for you, you deserve it. Can we stay friends at least?"

"Of course."

"Okay, I have to get ready for quali now, bye."

"Bye George, have a nice day."

I run and hug Pierre. "I came to say good luck to you. You can do it. I can feel the pole position inside of me, screaming your name."

"You're an idiot Sky."

"But you love me." I whisper in his ear.

Pierre qualifies P4, Charles gets pole position, Max is second and George is third. "You'll get the podium tomorrow, I know it."

"We'll get it, don't worry. I'll just take someone out."

I hit his shoulder.

"No don't you dare."

"I'm joking, I'm joking."

We walk through the paddock, Pierre's all done for today. Suddenly he pulls me into a quiet alley and starts kissing me. "Pierre, we-"

"Nobody will see us here."

And he starts kissing me again. I trust Pierre and kiss him back.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."

"Don't be sorry for something I like."

"When did you want to make it public?"

"Tomorrow after the race. Or maybe Zandvoort."

"We're doing it when you are comfortable with it, not earlier."

"I hug him. Thank you, for never ever pushing me."

We go back to the hotel and have an early night, because Pierre needs his energy for tomorrow.

SUNDAY

We drive to the track, and we arrive at the same time as Charles, so the journalists have way more interest in him then in Pierre. "Bye Sky, I'll see you before the race."

"How did you-"

"I saw your gaze."

"Sometimes you are so annoying. But yes, I'll see you before the race."

"If I don't see you I'm not getting on the podium."

"Stop blackmailing me."
