Tension

                                    

                                          
Y/n and Pierre had made their way back into the hotel room and Y/n immediately sat on the couch exhaling a big sigh.
Pierre: Again I wonder how I am the racer of the two of us.
Y/n: Hey, watching you is nerve wrecking! The stress isn't good. It takes it out of you.
Pierre made his way toward her and sat beside her, allowing her to rest her head on his shoulder.
Pierre: I wish I'd done better. End the season off well you know.
Y/n: Its only the second last race love, and you got points today. Next week you'll do so well, I know it. You will end off on a high.
Pierre: Thanks Chérie. So, you wanted to tell me something?
Y/n: Oh, yeah... I have to go to Seattle tomorrow.
At this Pierre sat up straighter causing Y/n to sit up alongside him.
Pierre: Wait, Seattle? Why? You didn't take the job.
Y/n: They want to see me in person to as they say, finalize. 
Pierre: So when will you be back?
Y/n: I don't know. I'm hoping by the weekend. At least by the race.
Pierre: What do you mean hoping?
Y/n: I mean, they can't give me a date that everything will be done by. Could take days, could take weeks they said.
Pierre: But Chérie, it's the last race of the season next week.
Y/n: And I said I will try everything to be back for it. I wouldn't willingly miss it.
Pierre: So postpone the trip then.
Y/n: Pierre, it's not that simple. They're already doing me a favor by letting me take an online position so I can be with you guys on the road.
Pierre: I don't understand. Have you agreed? Got the ticket?
Y/n: I had to and yes. I leave first thing.
Pierre: Unbelievable
Y/n: You cannot surely be mad at me?
Pierre: You're doing something that might cause you to miss a VERY important night. Charles is contender for the championship. I am in a good position to place well and I wanted to-
Y/n: To what Pierre?
Pierre: Nevermind. You might not even be there. 
Y/n: Pierre. To what?
Pierre: Drop it Y/n. I never wanted to do anything that's why I stopped myself. 
Y/n: You're being really immature. You cannot get mad at me for needing to attend a job meeting. You travel the globe for heaven's sake!
Pierre: But I don't choose that over you. You always come with when you can!
Y/n: Exactly! When I CAN. And how dare you insinuate that I am choosing my job over you! This meeting wouldn't be happening if I had, I would've been in Seattle permanently right now if it weren't for me choosing to stay with YOU!
Y/n took a shaky breath. She was getting more frustrated as the conversation went on. She noticed Pierre still holding his position, tense and irritated. 
Y/n: You know what, you're upset after the race and now you're just being childish. I will be back when you are back to yourself again and thinking about what you're saying.
Without letting him answer she took her key card, phone and wallet off of the table and left the room in one swift closing of the door.
Y/n didn't really know the city so decided to just go to the hotel bar. 
Sitting down at the bar, she ordered a drink and noticed her phone light up.

She smiled at it again when she noticed a message coming through.
Pierre ❤️
Are you safe? I'm sorry x
Y/n
I'm safe. If you're sorry, come find me x
I knew you'd say that which is why I don't want you paying for that Mojito in front of you ;)
Y/n: What? How-
Pierre: I'm right here...
She turned around and a very guilty looking Pierre stood before her.
Pierre: Look, I'm really sorry. You were right, I was irritated and it was a long day. Don't be mad at me.
Y/n: I'm not mad at you. I didn't want a fight, that's why I left. You mean well and you know I would never skip a race that I can be at.
Pierre: I know. But I do have a question.
Y/n: Ask away.
Pierre: Why only tell me now?
Y/n: I didn't want it worrying you during the race. I actually still need to tell Charles.
Pierre: Well...
Y/n: Pierre, what did you do?
Pierre: When you left I was still irritated that I phoned him to ask him how he would be okay with knowing you might miss a race that will change his life and... well he asked what I meant and assuming he knew I explained everything. By mistake. A simple misunderstanding really.
Y/n: I love you and all, but sometimes you really need to think before you do something. What was his reaction?
Pierre: He's surprisingly not mad. He just wants to talk to you... 
Y/n: I may or may not stay in Seattle. He's gonna kill me for not telling him first.
Pierre: I won't let him. I need you around. You're my roommate after all.
Y/n: Oh my word! We need to start looking for houses! Where are we going to live? How big are we going? What's the budget? 
Pierre: Chérie! Relax. We have time. And I was actually thinking about location...
He sat down next to her and the two of them spoke for hours about their future home together until Y/n decided to call it a night for the flight tomorrow. It had been a long night but Y/n was glad everything had gone as smoothly as it could've and a part of her was relieved that she didn't have to break the news to Charles...
That night she felt more excited than ever before about her decision to live with Pierre. She snuggled up close to him and in his arms she knew it's him forever... it can only be him...
