The next morning Pierre and Y/n woke up early to go for a run. Once they got back Pierre grabbed a few essentials and then they headed back for Monaco.
As they drove down the freeway admiring the country a song played on the radio. It was Rita Ora's Anywhere. Y/n squealed and turned the volume up high. The windows were open for the heat and Y/n stuck her arm out.
"I LOVE this song!" She yelled.
Pierre chuckled at this and smiled briefly in her direction before turning his eyes back to the road. She sung at the top of her lungs when the chorus came and there was a free radiance to her in that moment. The sun caught her skin and the wind was blowing her hair back. Y/n laughed a bit and smiled back at him, enjoying the moment.
Pierre couldn't help but smile the whole time. He felt as if he fell in love all over again.
The song eventually faded out and Y/n turned the radio back down to normal volume.
Y/n: I'm sorry but that song on the open road needs to be played loudly
Pierre: I totally agree with you.
He couldn't wipe the smile off of his face and Y/n noticed this.
Y/n: What?
Pierre: I feel like I just fell in love with my soulmate all over again
Y/n's cheeks flushed red and she smiled a bit.
Pierre: After all this time I can still get you shy?
Y/n: Yes... especially the cute and corny things you say.
Pierre: It's adorable don't be embarrassed.
Y/n: Easy for you to say! But I love you too
They exchanged smiles before going quiet again. It was a comfortable silence and they drove on.
Soon enough they reached Monaco and got out at Charles' apartment.
Charles: And?
Y/n: It's beautiful! There's nothing I would change!
Arthur: We're so glad.
Y/n: Now that a lot has happened it's time we finalized the wedding preparations.
Charles: Of course. Don't forget you also have to start packing...
Pierre: She has time, that's why I'm here as well.
Y/n: But don't forget we're breaking contact 24 hours before the wedding.
Pierre: That's only later on this week. We still have all the time in the world.
Charles: Are you going to manage 24 hours without each other?
Y/n: Done it before so we can do it again
Charles: Okay, let's get everything sorted then
They went inside and sat at the dining room table.
Pierre and Y/n sat next to each other as they paged through menus and table settings and even picked out their wedding favors.
Arthur: I don't know about you guys but I'm hungry. Who's up for dinner?
Y/n: Dinner? Has it been that long already?
Pierre: Yeah
Y/n: Oh my goodness! Then yes, we can totally do dinner. What's the idea Arth?
Arthur: Delivery?
Charles: I actually have a better idea.
Y/n: Oh?
Charles walked over to the living room and grabbed a blanket before going back to the kitchen counter at which everyone sat.
Charles: We're going to go have dinner by the park.
Y/n: Outside?
Charles: Yeah. When was the last time you had take out on a blanket in the park for dinner?
The look Charles gave Y/n was enough to tell her that he knew about how her and Jules used to do this before it got too cold.
Y/n: Jules...
Pierre: Chérie?
Y/n: Jules and I used to do this a lot... that was the last time I did it.
Charles: Which is why I'm saying we must do it now.
Y/n: Okay yeah. Let's go.
They all grabbed coats and headed to the Take Out place near the apartment. Once they all had their food they went and found a nice place to go and sit. The people walking around gave them strange looks but they didn't care, they had each other and that's what mattered.
They all sat together, laughing and chatting. It was perfect. As Arthur and Pierre went off into a conversation Y/n quietly turned to Charles.
Y/n: Thank you
Charles: This was nothing
Y/n: No. I mean for everything Charles. I wouldn't have survived these past few without you.
Charles: You we're always special to me. Even during Jules. I promised I'd take care of you and I made sure to keep it.
Y/n: You promised?
Charles: Yeah... I remember that conversation with Jules so well......
Jules: Charles?
Charles: Yeah?
Jules: You know my friend Y/n?
Charles: Of course! What about her?
Jules: Well she's gone through a lot and I'm all she really has right now. I know she's closer to your age than mine but she's like a sister. I need you to promise me something...
Charles: I won't break her heart. Wasn't even planning on going for her like that.
Jules: No no, it's not like that. It's just- well F1 can be dangerous and I need to know that she'll be okay if anything happened to me. You promise you'll take care of her when I won't be able to?
Charles: I promise Jules. Y/n will always be safe...
Y/n: I can't believe it...
Charles: Now you know why I was so mad at myself for what happened to you when we left you for Belgium.
Y/n: Yeah... Charles I'm so sorry you felt like you failed Jules sometimes because of my stupid choices.
Charles: No Y/n, it's not like that at all. Never be sorry for living your life. Jules wanted that... he just didn't want you to ever feel alone.
Y/n: Well he'd be proud of you.
Charles: Thank you... and he'd be so proud of you... especially for the times you thought you couldn't but you did make it through.
Y/n smiled as she looked down at her key ring in her hands. She traced the words with her finger as she smiled.
"Be Bold Summy"
Charles: He really loves you, you know.
Y/n: What?
Charles: Pierre. He really loves you.
Y/n: I know. I really love him too.
Y/n smiled up in Pierre's direction as she and Charles watched Pierre and Arthur debating about some or other game. She felt Charles place an arm around her shoulder pulling her in for a hug. As the scene felt like something out of a movie she thought to herself... How can I leave this all behind?
