Lover II- ML

203. Our Year

New Year's Eve came around quickly but also slow enough for them all to have enjoyed every single day they've been in this magical town.

The races, polo, car shows, skiing, riding snowmobiles up to mountain top restaurants for dinner looking out at the views and stars, and that was just to name a few of things they did.

Emilia and Patri seemed as if they were on their honeymoon with how smiley and cuddly they were, still glowing about the bomb Emilia dropped.

Lucy and Ona and Jill and Ingrid were just happy to have been able to share the experience together and have it bring their relationships closer.

Kaia and Mapi acted as if they were already married, viewing houses and browsing baby clothes together in their spare time.

And Alexia and Natalie... they still weren't talking by the time they were getting dressed for the incredibly exclusive New Year's party hosted by Ferrari.

Since it was apparently Kaia's fault, Kaia respectfully kept her distance from the both of them where she could. But she continued with going to the gym with those who wanted to, and she still continued to speak to Alexia at the breakfast table.

But when it came time to leave, she sent Mapi to knock on the broken up couple's door.

They were going to that bar on the lakeside, the bar Ferrari always have their final party at. The one Kaia's parents met at. She was very excited to not only see the bar from the inside, but to experience the atmosphere her parents fell in love in.

Because they both constantly said it was love at first sight.

Kaia wished Sebastian was here to see it too, but the romantic ambience made her want Mapi with her a lot more. And she had her, so she couldn't wait.

They took two SUV's to the party that was already quite active when they arrived, and they were let right through into the main area with the back wall open fully with the people flowing out onto the balcony.

This was less of a 'let's get drunk, dance and kiss at midnight' type of party, and more of a sip champagne until their heads go dizzy and engage in pleasant conversation while admiring the moonlit lake for one of the last times.

Although there were the younger crowds, whooping and hollering and drinking a lot. They were mainly the children of rich people, a few racers, and the Ferrari polo players.

There was a table outside for them pre booked, so they sat with their drinks and began the drinking and chatting, enjoying each other's company and the alcohol they won't be able to drink for the next few months.

Kaia left them a few times to mingle and have her parents introduce her to people, build relations and discuss business things with mainly representatives from Ferrari.

Kaia had told her parents about her meeting with Joan Laporta, that Barcelona wanted Ferrari as their second sponsor from next season onwards.

It was something truly promising and Matteo encouraged Kaia to make it happen, reaching out to a few people he knows and working alongside their lawyer to get an official meeting in place.

One of those connections was here tonight, and Kaia quickly excused herself from the conversation between her, her dad and the man to do things properly.

"Babe, come with me." Kaia says the moment she's at the table, her eyes and words only directed on Mapi. "I need to introduce you to someone, a representative from Ferrari."

The way Kaia raises her eyebrow as a hint tells Mapi this is very important, and it makes her look down to her drink worriedly. "I'm not drunk enough yet."
