CHAPTER 29

Canadian GP Sunday - Race Day

You wake up the next morning early with Pierre for race day you smile fades as you open the curtains.

Of course, it's raining.

Your heart drops a little as you know it makes todays race just that much more dangerous.

Pierre gets out of the shower, and you turn to look at him.

"Promise me you'll be safe today. Promise me that you won't do anything stupid to try to impress me or my parents in this weather. I need you to promise me you'll come home safe." You say walking towards him. He cups your face with his hands.

"I promise," he says looking into your eyes and kissing you softly. You take a deep breath, "okay then let's do this," you say hopping into the shower next as Pierre gets dressed. You get out of the shower to find Pierre cooking up an omelette. You sit down at the kitchen island in your towel and Pierre hands you a cup of coffee.

"Well, I was going to wear white today, but I think with the rain that's probably not the best idea." You say thinking about what to wear.

"That would get very distracting, and then I'd probably have to fight someone for staring at you too long." Pierre says winking and placing the omelette in front of you before starting to make his own. You take a few bites of the omelette, "babe this is delicious," you say taking a few more bites.

"Thanks, one of the few things I can cook," Pierre says smiling. You finish eating your omelette with Pierre and head over to your closet with your coffee. You stare at it for a few moments thinking of some combinations before finally deciding on a pair of black high waited flare pants and a red square neck bodysuit underneath.

"And?" You ask Pierre going a little spin.

"Wow, you look, just wow." He says dropping his fork and walking over to you. "It's too bad it's Ferrari colours, but I understand. I have the perfect thing to finish it off too." He walks over to his nightstand and pulls out a small box. Your heart starts beating faster as he hands it to you. Opening it slowly, you smile seeing a small gold chain necklace inside.

"Oh, Pierre it's beautiful," you say holding it up in the light.

"I used to wear it when I was younger, but now I think it will look better on you. Plus, this way you can have a part of me with you at all times, even when you're behind enemy lines." Pierre says taking the necklace and putting it around your neck for you.

"It's perfect," you say turning to him. "I love it, and I love you."

"I love you more," Pierre says leaning down and kissing you. The two of you finish eating, and you clean up the kitchen before doing your hair and makeup.

Pierre calls to you, "John will be downstairs in 10."

"Okay, I'll be out in a minute," you say putting your earrings in. You take one last look in the mirror. Perfect.

You step out of the bathroom and slip on some low black heels and your rain coat. Gathering up your bag and pass meeting Pierre at the front door. "All ready."

Pierre just smiles. "Looks like I may just have to fight some people after all. You look smoking hot," Pierre says kissing your cheek and you start to blush.

"Come on we don't want to be late," you say grabbing his hand and heading out the door. You head downstairs and John helps you into the car.

"Wet day out there today, drive safe Pierre," John says as he pulls in up to the gate.

"Always John," Pierre says, and he steps out first before helping you out.

Tina is there to meet you with umbrellas. "Oh, thank you Tina you're a life saver," you say stepping under Pierre's umbrella.
