24: I'm happy to be here

Sienna's point of view:

It's 13:14, I have arrived at the Piastri family home.

'Sienna Sainz!', I walk up to the door, the house is huge.

'Hello Nicole, gosh I haven't seen you in too long', she pulls me in for a hug.

'I know! We must speak more often,' she gives me a kiss on my head.

I walk inside the house and Nicole leads me to the living room, where Oscar is chilling on the couch.

'Hello there', I say walking towards him.

He stands up. 'Sien! You came!', he wraps his arms around me.

'Yeah of course! Wouldn't miss it,' I say.

I let myself fall on the couch, the soft pillows making me instantly sleepy.

'God, I love this couch. Where is Grace?', I ask.

'Grace is buying some pie, my dad ate the one we were supposed to eat', Oscar laughs.

'Where is Michael?', I questioned.

'I'm right here, how's my Spanish best friend-in-law?', Michael walks up to me and embraces me with a warm hug.

'I'm fantastic. Has aprendido español?', I ask.

'Un poco', Michael says, I smile.

'Wow! Outstanding! I can talk in full sentences with you in a year or so!'.

Michael laughs, I notice Grace coming inside.

'Hello everyone!', she says.

'Grace!', I walk up to her and hug her.

'Hello Sienna, how are you doing?', Grace is trying not to drop the lemon pie she has in her hands.

I grab the pie from her. 'I'm great! And you?', we walk to the kitchen together.

'I'm fine, life is alright. I have had a lot of model agencies trying to recruit me since me and Oscar went public. Living my best life, to be honest', she says.

'That's amazing!', I place the pie on the counter.

'Thank you, Grace, for picking up the pie', Nicole walks in, she hugs her.

'No problem Ma'am', Grace says.

'Nicole where do you want us?', I ask.

'First of all, it's Nicole, Grace. Second of all, please go entertain my son otherwise he'll eat everything off the table', Nicole says.

Grace & I laugh and we walk into the living room.

'Hello there Oscar', Grace smiles and so does Oscar.

He lifts her and twirls her around.

'I've missed you', he says.

'I was gone for maybe 15 minutes', she says.

'So?'

I smile at them.


Half an hour later we are all gathered around the table. Grace is across from me and Oscar is across from his dad, Nicole is at the head of the table.

'Please, eat', Nicole says.

Oscar immediately grabs everything he sees.

I scoop some mac and cheese on my plate.

'So, Sienna, how is Carlos?', Michael asks.

'He's doing fine, busy with the upcoming races, of course. Monaco is Charles' home race, so a lot of PRs, and Barcelona is coming up too,' I say.

'Of course, we are also very excited for tomorrow, the first F1 race in Australia', Nicole exclaimed.

'I'm sure you will do amazing Oscar, I really am', I tell him, and he smiles.

'So, it's been a bumpy year. With all the rumors... of course, we knew you weren't together, so it was even more heartbreaking to hear those things being said while having an amazing daughter-in-law', Michael says.

'I understand, Ferrari was not very happy about it either...', I say.

'Sienna are you seeing anyone?', Nicole asks.

I almost choke on my water.

'No, no I am not.'

Oscar's eyes are fixated on me, I forgot he knew.

'I am... I'm just dating... nothing serious, no relationship', I say.

'With? If I may ask', Nicole asks.

'Uhm... well I guess you all know him uhm... it's um, I try to finish my sentence.

'Don't tell them if you don't want to', Oscar says.

'No really it's fine, it's Lando'.

Michael and Nicole gasp.

'That's amazing, that boy deserves someone who pulls the strings in his life, who gives him some more or less control in some situations', Nicole says.

'I agree, he has a nice dad. Never met his mom though', Michael says.

'Me neither...', I say.


Lunch is done, Oscar definitely ate too much.

'Are you not having dinner again tonight? At Ricciardo's house?', I ask while laying on the couch.

'Yeah, I am. But I will be hungry again by then', he says, I laugh, how is he able to eat so much?

'Are you going?', Grace asks me.

'Nope, just for the drivers. No girlfriends or sisters allowed'.

'Okay great, I was worrying about forgetting something', she smiles.

'Nope, all good'.

'Okay I place an Instagram post, go like it', Oscar smiles.

He is such a blogger.


'What a cute photo', I claim.

Lando has already commented, Maeve too.

'It really is, thank you for being here Sienna', Oscar says while giving Grace a kiss on her forehead.

'I'm happy to be here, really'.
