Chapter seventy-three

Olivia's pov:

March 2024

January and February flew by faster than ever, we are now in March and it's already time for the first race of the 2024 season! Charles have been in Bahrain for a long time now getting fully ready for the season, but I just arrived an hour ago, alone

Matheo and Elena are home in Monaco with Pascale for the weekend, it's the first time ever since having them that I'm away for more than a few hours. It's so weird but I know they'll be just fine. They're seven months old now, and I know they will have the best weekend with their wonderful grandma. - Even though it's weird to be so far away from them, it's also kinda nice. Charles and I can finally be alone and just be us, just being Charles and Olivia and not mom and dad the whole time.

I arrived at the hotel and got the keycard, so I got to the 6th floor and opened the door. "Shit, you almost scared me, I thought you would come in an hour or so" Charles said as I walked inside. "haha sorry babe, good to see you" I smiled and closed the door. "It's okay.. hi love, I missed you!" He smiled and walked closer to me. "I missed you more" I said and went to give him a big kiss, it had been little over a week and a half since we last saw each other, due to the season starting up again. "How are the kids? I miss them like crazy!" he asked curiously. "They're doing good, your mother was so excited to have them all weekend" I smiled. "oh yeah she told me about seven times yesterday" he laughed. "I think it's healthy not only for us but also for them to be without each other just for a few days, plus they'll be spending time with their grandmother, what's not to like?".. "Exactly they'll be just fine.. and so will we, I can't wait to spend all this weekend just with you love" he smiled. "Me either, let's enjoy every moment of it"..

We drove to the track where Charles had so many things to do, today is Thursday which is media day, he has a lot of interviews, then he gotta film some stuff with Carlos for youtube and then he has some interviews for netflix, so he's a busy man today.

Whilst Charles was doing god knows what, I decided to take a walk to my other favorite team, Red Bull. I really can't choose between Red Bull and Ferrari! - "Olivia hi, what brings you to the best team on the grid" Christian said as I got greeted by the brit as I walked inside. "Hey Christian, just two of my favorite boys! Are they busy?" I smiled. "No not at all, but they have a meeting in half an hour so if you wanna see them now's the time" he answered. "Okay then, thanks! I'll see you around, take care" I smiled and then walked until I spotted my favorite Dutch and Aussie, also known as Max and Daniel.

"Guess who?" I asked and covered Daniel's eyes with my hands. "Hmm let me guess.. Yeah I know it, it's my weird ass best friend" he laughed. "Hey don't be mean you dumbass!" I laughed as he looked around and saw me. "Aw please, you know I love you Livia" he smiled and went to hug me. "Yeah I know, how can you not! good to see you again Danny" I smiled.. Then I went towards Max who was talking with Kelly, which I didn't know was here as well.. - "Hey you two" I smiled and so did they. "Hey Oli" Max smiled and went to give me a big hug. My brother's hug must be in the top three of the best hugs existing. "Hey Olivia, you look wonderful" Kelly smiled and pulled me into a hug. "Speak for yourself" I smiled.

I spoke a bit with Daniel, Max and Kelly until they had to attend their meeting.

When they left, Kelly and I went to the paddock lounge where we met up with Isa, Lily and Carmen which was really nice, it had been too long since all of us had been together.

We got something to eat and something to drink, which was really nice. - We talked about so many things, from Lily's big upcoming golf tournament, Isa's pregnancy, my wedding and a bunch of other stuff.

"So Olivia, have you found your wedding dress yet?" Carmen asked excitedly. "I have, it's the prettiest dress I've ever seen," I smiled. Last month I took Kelly, Isa, Pascale and Vic with me to look for dresses, and after a really long day I found one, I made a few new details so it was more my style, and in the end I got my dream dress! - "I'm really excited to see it, I just know it's beautiful," Lily smiled. "You should be, she looked like a million in it" Kelly answered. "I agree," Isa said. "Oh stop it girls, you're too kind" I laughed, I hate and love compliments at the same time. "God I wish I was the one getting married" Carmen laughed. "It'll happen sometime Carmen" Lily said. "Yeah just look how much George adore you, he loves you so so much!.. And so does Alex, Lily! You two will also get married someday, I know it" I smiled. "Thanks for saying that!" Lily smiled cutely.. - "Hey and don't forget you Kelly, you will also get married one day! You and Max are literally THE couple!" Isa said and looked at Kelly. "Yeah I agree," Carmen said. - "And if my dear brother doesn't propose within the next 5 years, I will gladly force him to do so" I laughed. "Haha thanks Oli, but we'll just take it as time goes. We're in no hurry" Kelly smiled.
