Only You - Artem Markelov

Chapter 10 - Final

No, I didn't die :P I went on holiday and kinda forgot about this chapter. Oops? Hope you enjoy it!!

As she already expected, Amaya wasn't able to keep her job after the race in Monaco. Even though she saw it coming, she's still disappointed and couldn't help but feel like she let everyone down.

Herself, Artem, her boss, Layla, her baby.

Artem tried to convince her that that wasn't the case, but she struggled to believe him. Especially when they arrive in Austria for the race. Despite it being the second race since she got the call, it still feels weird to be at the track and not have to do anything.

"Are you sure people won't notice?" Amaya asks as she looks in the mirror, facing sideways.

"I'm sure, don't worry. And what if they do? I want people to know," Artem says, wrapping his arms around Amaya

"Isn't it a bit too soon? I love having this between us."

"Me too, but I also want the world to know that you'll be the mother of my baby. I'm proud of that," Artem says, making Amaya chuckle as she blushes. 

"Okay, then I'm ready to go," she says as she grabs her bag. Artem takes her hand as they make their way down to the car, which will take them to the track. Amaya had stayed in the hotel on Friday and Saturday, not feeling ready to go to the track just yet. But today, for the sprint race where Artem will start from pole, she wants to be there. He drove amazingly the day before and Amaya hated she wasn't there. She won't make the same mistake twice.

As Amaya makes her way to the room where she'll be watching the race, she notices some cameramen following her. She sighs, trying to ignore them but she already knows there will be stories about her in the news sooner rather than later.  She takes out her phone and texts Artem.

Amaya
I have a feeling people will know soon

Artem
Why do you say that?

Amaya
Got camera's following me

Artem
We'll figure something out <3

Amaya sighs, putting away her phone as she knows Artem has to focus on the race. She keeps her eyes focused down, trying to ignore the camera's whilst safely making it to the viewing room F2 has set up for guests. She knows Artem has a big chance of winning and she knows how much he wants that. And he deserves it.

"Amaya?" she hears a familiar voice say, making her lookup.

"Noah? What are you doing here?" Amaya asks confused when she sees her brother standing a few meters away from her. Hesitantly, he walks over to her, clearly unsure of the situation.

"Rose invited me to the race."

"Ahh, okay," Amaya says, cringing at the awkwardness of the situation.

"How have you been?" Noah asks, glancing down to her stomach before looking up again.

"I've been good. We've been good."

"I'm glad to hear," Noah says, a small smile appearing on his face.

"How about you?"

"Yeah, I've been good as well. Rose and I have been getting closer. I think there might be something there, something great."

"Yeah, she mentioned that."

"Amaya, please, I miss you," Noah suddenly says, making Amaya look at him confused.

"You're the reason we're not talking right now Noah. You're the one who got mad, not me."

"I know that, but I figured you were mad at me for how I reacted and you already had so much going on so I didn't want to force things," Noah says as he shrugs. Amaya sighs as she nods understandingly.
