"Well, what's going on, are you broken up, or are you still together?" he asks me with concern plastered on his face.

"Umm I guess we are together, but we are constantly fighting, were always, breaking up and getting back together.." I say, my voice breaking.

"okay, well do you want me to fly over there and give him a talking too, I could get him fired, I know he's a good player, ill get him killed like this (he snapped his fingers)" I laughed.

"no, but thank you, I think we will get better soon," I say while smiling.

I look over to the guy sitting next to me, then I realize that I haven't introduced myself, He's so hot.

"anyways, I am Y/N, and you are..?" I say smiling at him, he looks down at my lips for a second, gets his finger, wipes my lower lip, and says,

"You've got something there" then flashes me a smile. god. His dimples. NO. I CANT. I'VE GOT A BOYFRIEND. Snap out of it. I look back at him and ask him again,

"You?" I say.

"Find out.." He replies.

"Ignore him, he's Charles, my partner in driving, and Toto's enemy," Carlos says looking at me in one of the car mirrors.

"NO, Ugh Carlos, what is wrong with you? He's my enemy NOW. But he won't be, when I switch jobs to Ferrari" Toto yells back at Carlos with a heavy accent.

I giggle a little, the thought of Uncle not having an enemy, is quite weird. I roll my eyes at Carlos, and he asks me where I'm staying...

"Well im staying at Nonna's for a bit, and then im going to find out where else to stay for the remaining month" I say shrugging.

"Well why can't you stay at her's for the whole three months?" Carlos asks me.

"Because I don't want to get on her nerves, plus I want to have some fun, maybe rent out a hotel, maybe stay with a friend" I say looking back at him.

Carlos looks me inn the eye and mouths *u okay?* I give him a thumbs up, and I message him

Smoothh operatoorrr

hey, can we talk later?

yeah, sure, whatever you need :)

Carlos look back from the front of the seat, and smiled at me. God that boy. SNAP OUT OF IT.

Toto swerved the car, hard, and I squealed like a little girl. I felt Charles' hand grab the inside of my thigh, and he looked at me. I looked into his blue watercolor eyes and smiled. He kept his hand there. I liked it when he kept his hand there, I felt electricity run through my body when he would touch me. I saw Carlos turn around, and I saw his jaw clench, and I saw Charles meet eyes with Carlos and I noticed his grip on my thigh loosen.

He looked down at me,

"you okay?" he said worried.

"Yeah,, im fine, but uncle, what happened?" I said giggiling as he slammed his hands on the wheel.

"OH FOCOMERO, WHAT IS YOU DOING, MOVE ALONG YOU STRONZO" he said raising his middle finger through the open window. I love watching my uncle get mad. He started swearing in italian under his breath, and I looked at Charles, and smiled. I guess I won't get an answer from uncle. My family always says i have inherited his temper, and i guess i have. We arrived at my uncles house, IT IS MASSIVE. He was just dropping off Carlos and Charles.

"Seeya, y/n!" Carlos said pushing Charles into the bush.

"Hey- oh, Bye, Y/N!" Charles said as the car started to drive off.

I smiled at charles, and waved as he walked backwards, waving at me. I saw Carlos glance from the mirror, and he didn't look happy. That was weird.

"Anyways, now there gone, we can finally talk, how's life treating you?" Uncle said while smiling at me.

"I guess it's good, I think coming to Italy will be a good break from life," I said while smiling back at him.

"Great, remember, you are always to come here, or even travel with the team," He said smiling.

"So are you moving to Ferrari, or are you staying with Mercedes?" I say with curiosity, I never would have thought that the one and only Toto Wolff, would transfer to Ferrari

"Well, it is more money, and it will be a good opportunity, but I think the chances are very, very small because my heart will always be with Mercedes," He says while shrugging to himself.

"Yeah, I totally get it, and I don't know how the press and media will take it, I mean, people always assume you have so much beef with Ferrari"

"Ya, io mean I do, but you know, it is complicated," He said pulling in, outside the front driveway of my Nonna Palmina's house.

I saw massive balloons that read

"WELCOME HOME BELLA!"

I giggled in the back seat, as I started to unload my bags. My small Nonna waddled down the path, and greeted me,

"Ciao, Ciao, Tu so beautiful, tu so skinny"

She said squeezing my cheeks. After my Nonna had given me a long hug, she greeted me up the footsteps. I looked up to see a beautiful house, with rounded curves, and stunning colors. The house had earthy tones but were complimented by the bright colors of the trees, and the leaves' contrast. I almost tripped when my cousin, Antonio caught me

"OMG, ANTONIO! You so big now!" I said while he gave me back my balance.

"Oh well, I guess I have been drinking my milk ;)" He said winking at me.

Ew.

"Ewwness. Yuckness. Grossness"

I guess he has grown/matured. Now he's about a foot taller, and has grown out of his "awkward phase". I walked back to see my Nonna, who was standing staring at me, with the rest of the family. I hate when people stare at me. But I guess this is family. I walked up to my Nonna and greeted the rest of the family.
