Pit Stops (Book I-F1 Series)

Chapter Forty Five

As i went out of the room finally ready for the big night of my brother's life is like trying to smile in a room full of spectators. Mick got ready before me because Jacque needed him
somewhere. I bit my lip trying to calm myself down as i closed the door behind me.

"Oh my God Anne, you look stunning." Gina called out when she saw me walking down the stairs. "Never knew you could pick a dress, love." Gina turned to my brother who is smiling from ear to ear.

"I actually had a little help from Charles." He admitted as he put both his hands up.

"You called Charles to help you to pick out her dress?" Gina asked my brother.

"Charles knows what she wants and what suits her, heck he even sent hoodies, sweaters and clothing pieces from Ferrari that she uses every now and then, and she doesn't even like hoodies." He sighed as he looked at me.

"I'm sorry, correction,i like the hoodies he gave me." I defended as i finally went beside them waiting for Mick because he got the car. "It's comfortable and wearable."

"Because its from him." My brother looked at me saying it in a matter-of-factly way.

"No, the fabric is really nice, maybe i should tell Charles to get you one." I offered but he just scoffed.

"I worked at Mercedes AMG, Bonana." He rolled his eyes which made Gina and I laugh at his immaturity.

We just dropped the topic as i looked at the mirror, the dress indeed suited me, like it is made for me. Its a white puffed sleeved bustier midi dress and when i turned it's a bit backless with a little bow that sits where the zipper is. I smiled as i knew Charles knows me so well. I smiled as i took a picture of it and sent it to him.

"Anne, let's go?" Jacque called out and i sighed as i went with them. Gina and I spent the whole ride together to Dallas as Mick drives and Jacque is in the passenger.

We had a great time in the restaurant, and as the night was about to end, Mick and I excused ourselves from the table as i played on the piano and Mick started to take a video of everything that is happening.

As i drowned myself in the piece Liebestraum by Franz Liszt, i knew this piece since i was starting to play Piano because this is my Mom's favorite because it literally translates to Love Dream.

Mom would always play the piano with this piece with me after my tutor would go and its really a nice time, aside from being there at the tracks this is another way of us spending our time. I can feel something tugging my heart with every note that i play but i have to do this for my brother.

I poured my heart in soul in playing the piece that I didn't realize that the proposal was done, i only realized it when Mick help my shoulder as I saw Jacque and Gina embracing, maybe the proposal is finally a success.

I finished the piece and stood up cheering to the newly engaged. I felt Mick's hand wrapped on my waist as we stood there looking at our siblings finally engaged. This is actually the first time we ever made contact today, either I want to be alone in the room or he is with his sister and Jacque.

Looking at them, i realized that i can never be happy like that with Mick if he ever propose to me, like I couldn't make myself be happy like that because in the back of my mind it still bugs me that he keeps on communicating with that Lou. Maybe i should really talk to him about that maybe it could clear up the assumptions that i have in the back of my mind.

As Mick and I both went back to the ranch since our siblings got a room in a hotel, for the whole ride i was silent. Not even fiddling with my phone, im surprised that I haven't opened my phone today, with the exception of taking that pic and i sent it to Charles.
