After this eventful evening, we take the road to Maranello. In 2 days we have the Scuderria end-of-year meal and we decided to go a day before so as not to be stressed. Tonight we're going to eat with Carlos, Charles' teammate, and his girlfriend. I've never met his girlfriend before so I can't wait to see her. She's spanish just like him, but she also speaks English.
Our hotel room is very pretty. It's simple but it works. We put down our things and get ready for tonight's restaurant. I decide to wear black pants with a "classy" little top and a pair of heels, that will do.

We sit down with Carlos and Isabella. She is really super pretty, she has a charm. We decide to take red wine and take starters to share. After that we take good Italian dishes (pizza, pasta). We can say that we are living our Dolce Vita. Both are really super nice. We all laugh together even if we speak with a mixture of Italian-English-Spanish-French, we understand each other. I'm glad we saw them before the official party. At least that way I'll know someone. Especially since Charles and Carlos will surely have "responsibilities" so I can at least stay with Isabella.

We go back to the hotel and we sleep straight away. We're k.o. Tomorrow Charles has planned to take me to visit the "offices" of Maranello and also make a private visit with the gentleman to the Ferrari museum which is next door. I can not wait.

After being the big groupie taking pictures in front of all the Ferrari panels, we finally enter the museum. Charles explains to me the specificities of the cars, he is really too cute. We finally arrive in the part dedicated to formula 1. Charles shows me all the cars, explains to me who were the champions who drove them and calmly explains to me the differences between each of the cars, going through the engine to the aerodynamics of the car. I ask him to take my picture again and ask him if he can get someone to take pictures of us both. So that I still have memories of our "trip" as a couple. Above all, being in this museum with one of the Ferrari world champions is not bad.

After this visit we go back to the hotel and we take a room service. We put a good movie on netflix and we spend the evening in love. I love those moments together, when we're stress-free and we can cuddle all night long. Especially since Charles is cuddling like a king.

Tonight we have the official dinner. It is currently 3 p.m. but I am already starting to prepare. I go in the shower and wash my hair. I take this opportunity to shave and exfoliate and then I put cream all over my body. I really do a complete preparation. I dry my hair and start to do my hairstyle I got a low bun. I then start my makeup to do something classy but quite natural. I put on my dress and my heels and after several hours of preparation I'm finally ready. Charles puts on his Ferrari suit and he's really soooo sexy in it. He comes over to me and grabs me by the waist, kissing me.

Charles: You are really beautiful! wow!
Emma: Thank you sweetheart you are really amazing too.

We leave to reach the large reception room. Everyone is dressed super classy. Isabella has a beautiful chick yellow dress that really sets her off. We go to sit near them and I sit next to Isabella.
Several people make several speeches, obviously in Italian because everyone at Ferrari speaks Italian. After that we receive several dishes because the meal consists of a starter, a main course and a dessert. Everything is super good.

After that the room turns into a dance floor. Charles gets up from the table and asks me to follow him to go dancing, of course I accept. They put on an Italian slow, the song "Ti amo". All the couples dance together it's really too cute. I wrap my arms around Charles's neck as he places his hands on my waist. I lay my head gently on her shoulder, being careful not to leave any traces of makeup on it.

Charles: Alright, you weren't too bored?
Emma: No it was cool but luckily I was next to Isabella. Well, I admit that I didn't understand all the speeches they made, but what they were saying sounded good.

Charles laughs at the fact that I haven't understood everything. He knows that I have a fairly good level in Italian, but the problem is that they speak super fast with special terms that they only use between themselves and suddenly it complicates understanding.

Charles: You really are the most beautiful woman present tonight.
Emma: And you are a good talker.
Charles: No really. In addition there are already several people who work with me who told me that you were really beautiful.
Emma: Oh yeah I'm actually a star. Maybe I should convert and become a model.
Charles: Or else I'll keep you for myself as a rare pearl.
Emma: Alala.

We continue to dance looking each other in the eye. The passion of our love can be read in our eyes. I know that no matter what happens in our lives, this man is my soulmate. We are still young and you never know what life is made of, but I hope to end my days by his side.

After this romantic music they put more moving music, so we join Carlos and Isabella to dance together. We have a few small cocktails on the way and we really enjoy our evening. There is also Mattia who comes to greet us and who also comes to ask about the trip to Switzerland that we made with Charles a few days ago.

Mattia: Anyway thank you Emma for cultivating our Charles a bit. He knew almost nothing about Switzerland.
Emma: No worries. Plus I took him to EPFL. We still had to show him where the great Mattia Binotto had trained.
Mattia: Stop, you're bothering me. In any case, I really appreciate the photo you took in front of the campus. It was nice to see him again after so many years.

Mattia talks a bit with Charles and Carlos regarding the dates when the tests will take place etc. And I continue to dance with Isabella. Then our lovers come back and we dance together until the end of the night, before returning to our hotel for a good night's sleep.
