Claire was in London at last, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She walked out of the terminal and found a man holding a sign with her name on it.
She waved at him before walking in his direction, he introduced himself as Jake. He was going to be her chauffeur today.
She thanked him as he helped her with all her luggage, after a few minutes of figuring out how to get all the suitcases in they were on their way.
She sent the group chat with the girls, her mother and Charlotte a message saying that she had reached London. Jake had picked her up and they were a few minutes away from her new place.
Sonz: SEND US PICTURES
Aliaaa: Is the decor good? Should I come to decorate the place?
Nicky: Is it a nice neighbourhood? Good places? Are you feeling good? Comfortable?
You: Ofc I will Sonz! Alia, I haven't even seen the place yet. Yes Nicole it's a good neighbourhood, I'm comfortable and feeling good! I'm really tired though, that seven hour flight was not easy on me 😅
Sonz: Take care! Sleep away all the fatigue!
Alia: Make sure the linen has thread count of above 400!
Nicky: Al, wtf does threads do with this??
Alia: I'm just making sure she has good linen!
Nicky: You are so strange
Aliaaa: But you love me anyway 😚 take care Claire!
Nicky: Get your rest eclair, we'll talk tomorrow.
"We're here miss." Jake informed her, the car came to a halt. She thanked him and said that she got it from here.
It was quite a luxurious looking building, she couldn't believe this was the place she was going to be calling home for no one knows how long.
"Are you sure this was the address Jake? It's too pretty!" Claire exclaimed.
"I'm one hundred percent sure this is the place." Jake smiled. "Let me help you with the bags!" He insisted taking a suitcase from her.
They entered the building, it looked quite recently built and had very sleek and modern architecture. They took the lift to her flat on the fourth floor, Jake handed her the keys to her apartment right at the door.
The look on Claire's face was of pure joy, her eyes were sparkling and she couldn't stop smiling. It was a small apartment but it was beautiful to her.
She thanked Jake, who said a quick don't even mention it before heading out. Claire pulled out her phone and video called the girls right away, she walked them through the apartment. It was the first time for her too.
"It's got one room, a balcony, a cute little living room, a functioning kitchen, it's beautiful! I love it so much!" She beamed.
"We can see that!" Alia smiled. "It's a nice place, the interiors are pretty, check the linen-"
"For thread count! 400 upwards always!" Nicole finished Alia's sentence. "It's so cute! I love what they've done with the space."
"Have fun little mustard! Just not too much okay? Stay careful." Sonya told her friend for the millionth time.
"Yes mom." She rolled her eyes, "I'm going to talk to Charlotte and then nap. Bye bye!" She ended the call.
You: Hi Charlotte! Just got the place, it's beautiful! I love it!
Charlotte: Hi! I'm glad you liked it! It's only ten minutes from the campus of your university and finding any sort of transportation shouldn't be too hard. I'm sure you've got your schedule, also I spoke to Doctor Patel she has scheduled your scan for next Monday, you can go straight away after your classes.
You: Thanks so much Charlotte!
She was too tired to unpack, instead she pulled out a pair of pyjamas and ran a bath while she could figure out what to cook. Just when she decided to step into her bath, her phone rang, who could it be now? She mumbled pulling her robe back on.
"Hey you! You didn't even tell me you've reached." The voice on the other side, Lando complained.
"Hi, I thought you were busy so I didn't want to disturb you." She admitted.
"I'm never too busy! Charlotte told me the scan is next week, are you excited?"
"I'm honestly too tired." She sighed.
"Oh okay, take care." He ended the call.
Claire sunk back into the bath, the warmth was relaxing. Until it wasn't. She wanted to talk to him about so many things, yet when he called her up she just brushed him away. "You're behaving like a dummy Claire!" She scolded herself.
******
"Am I annoying?" Lando asked Jon as Jon helped him do some stretches.
"Right now? Yes very much, focus on the stretch!" Jon exclaimed.
"No I need to talk!" Lando fought back.
"If this is a way for you to cut down exercise time I'll make sure you can't stream today." Jon smirked.
"You are evil, but I don't know what shutting my damn mouth is okay so-"
"You win, go on." His trainer sighed.
"So I called up Claire, she's in London but she didn't even tell me she's here."
"But you called her up so now you know."
"I was just trying to check in on her but she just completely shut me out."
"She's pregnant, she sat in a cramped place for seven hours and she had to walk through two huge airports, I'm pretty sure she's tired. Don't overthink it!"
"I just want to be there for her."
"Maybe try when she's not exhausted." Jon laughed.
After another half an hour of stretching, Lando headed back to his engineers and mechanics. They showed him a prototype of what the car could look like and sent him off to the simulators for some more practice.
