This is a wee continuation on from Friday 1st January's episode! Cheers, Nic x
"Nick, I can't do this. Can you please come back to the flat" Carla asked.
"Yeah, of course. Hey, nothing will change my mind" Nick said confidently.
"I don't know about that" Carla whispered.
"Nick, what I am about to say, I am not at all proud of. I am extremely embarrassed, hence why I have to come clean" Carla said as they sat down, Carla creating a gap.
"Okay, but unless you have killed someone, I think we cn work through this" Nick said, still confident of keeping his fiancée.
"There are actually 2 bad things" Carla said.
"I em, I went to the casino" Carla said as she bowed her head.
"How much?" Nick asked, no sense of hatred in his tone.
"I stopped at £1000" She said as she ever so slightly tilted her head up.
"That's okay Carla. As long as you and Dominic aren't meeting regularly, I can handle this. You are hitting self-destruct and this is just what I have to try and change" He said, ever so slightly moving closer to Carla.
"That's not the worst bit. Nick, before I tell you this, I need you to know this:
You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I have prepared myself to be single after tonight but I want you to move on because you deserve it. Nick I will never stop loving you and even when I did what I did, I still never loved anyone else. You Nick, are too good for me and I just have to accept that because I have messed it up"
"Nick, I slept with Robert, your chef this afternoon"
There was about 10 seconds of silence when they both just stared into each other's eyes.
"Why? I am not asking because I am angry, I just want to know what I didn't give you" He asked calmly, still not breaking eye-contact.
"Nick you done nothing wrong. He didn't give me anything you couldn't, in fact, he was nothing compared to you. I wasn't planning to have sex or I would have just called you. I was drunk and he was at the casino too and it just escalated"
"He was rough, you are gentle. He made me feel dirty and worthless; you make me feel clean and alive Nick"
Again, there was another break of silence without breaking eye contact.
"Nick, can you please shout at me or throw a glass or something?" Carla pleaded.
"Why would I do that?" Nick asked.
"Nick, I just slept with someone who isn't my fiancée. How can you even look at me?" Carla replied.
Completely surprising Carla, Nick cornered her on the sofa and passionately pressed his lips against her. Carla reciprocated, assuming this would be her last kiss with the best bloke possible.
The passion continued until Nick moved backwards.
"Do you em, want to borrow a bag to pack your things?" Carla asked a bewildered Nick.
"Are you kicking me out?" Nick asked stunned.
"No but I get the impression that kiss was for sentimental reasons, not for love" She replied.
"Look Carla. I was so out-of-line this morning, telling you what to do, I should have known just to leave you. If I did, this would never have happened, so I deserve a punishment" Nick said calmly.
"Nick, please don't do this. Don't get my hopes up then send my right back down" Carla started to raise her voice.
"Carla will you stop! Stop putting words into my mouth, words that aren't even in my brain!" He started to shout.
"I admit I am starting to get confused" He said once everything had calmed down.
"With what" Carla said softly.
"Us. In particular you" He said.
"What don't you get about me cheating on you Nick?" Carla, again, starting to raise her voice.
"No. Forget all that. This is a simple yes or no question. Do you want to remain engaged?" Nick asked, eye contact had never been stronger.
"Yes" She replied shyly.
"Well why are you trying to kick me out?" He asked.
"I was giving you options" Carla responded.
"Carla, I have one option and that option is for us to carry on" He said as he stood up and made his way towards her.
"A clean slate. Carla, I understand why you did what you did but right now is not the time to go into depth" He said as he gathered her together and held her tight.
Please review, I think this is rubbish but I just wanted to upload it x
