Pit Stops (Book I-F1 Series)

Chapter Sixty Five

As we drove out of the apartment building, I kept on fumbling the steering wheel and I don't even know why. I just have this feeling that I don't know how to pinpoint what it even is, I just kept on sighing as we drove off to my house.

"Don't worry you look absolutely fine," Janelle said as she smiled at me.

Of course, I would be fine, we spent an hour or so with make-up and dressing up. She even picked the dress that I specifically told her not to but I have no choice since it's either this white backless silk dress from the row or the one that Jacque got me when he proposed to Gina.

Good thing that I brought nipple tapes and double-sided tape to put it into place and I will not suffer a wardrobe malfunction anytime.

As we arrived at the house it is indeed packed with cars, did Dad went overboard with this? When i called Charles to inform him that we are already here, we waited for a bit and saw them went up the stairs from the pool area below.

"How many guests were here?" I asked Charles as he looked at me in awe.

"Just some friends and family. Don't worry, there are a lot of cars because they dont like to share cars." He laughed as i gasped when i felt his warm hands up my bare back. "You are like a goddess tonight." He pulled me in hug and kissed me.

As we walked down the stairs to the pool area i gasped as i saw a little stage there with flowers, not just any flowers but tulips, wisterias and orchids. Collette and I love them.

"Your father really went overboard with this." He chuckled as he took my hand and lead me to the table where a waiter gave us our food.

"He doesn't have to do this." I whispered in awe as I looked at my Dad on the other table. "I have to go to them first, Bud."

I stood up from the table and went to my father who is talking to Pascale and Lorenzo. When they saw me they greeted me with kisses in both cheeks and I smiled at them.

"You really outdid the last time." I whispered at my dad and he laughed. The last time we did this kind of dinner was when Mom was still there and we are in Connecticut on the ranch for their anniversary and it is very luxurious. But this time its classy yet very intimate.

"Well i have to since we are all complete here, you and Charles, Marck and Collette, Gina and Jacque." I smiled as i pulled him into a hug. He is never that kind of person to say i love hou to us but he showered us with gift and supported us all throughout our lives, and that is what we are thankful for. He is always there for us.

"Anne!" Collette called put and i saw her walking towards us very pregnant. "Sorry I wasn't there."

I just smiled as i know what she meant. I know it still hurts but i have to move on because it was meant to be.

"It's okay Collette." I smiled a I pulled her in a hug. "I'm sorry I didn't even check in on you here. I was so preoccupied there in Monte Carlo."

"Dont worry about that all I ask is for you to be there when I deliver the baby," she said as she held my hand.

"I won't be here after the Spanish GP since I think Charles and I will be at the Le Man's," I told her and she smiled. "And maybe during the Spanish GP too since there's a gala invitation and shoot for Cartier in Italy."

"You finally accepted a partnership?" she asked and I nodded.

"There's also from Dolce and Gabbana who emailed me about a partnership, but I have to think it through since I really want the Giorgio Armani one." I expressed as I can feel my excitement because of it.

"You lost me ,but I'm really happy for you that you finally pick up where you left off Anne. Just promise me youll be there since i know your brother can't." She pursed her lips and i sighed as i took her hands.
