He's not sure why but he can't help but look at her, he's not just looking though, hes staring something about the way she tilts her head to the side while she's smiling as her hair falls over her shoulders, he hasn't even realised he was staring until she starts talking about the quiz night at the rovers tonight, so he darts his eyes quickly back to the table in the hope she hasn't noticed.
"You going to this quiz night then?" something about the way she says it makes him think she actually want's him to be there, he can't be sure though but he needed to talk to her, he'd make any excuse just to see her if he could, she usually calls in to the bistro for lunch maybe he'll see her then.
"Yeah, yeah should be"
He's disappointed when she doesn't show up, he's always hoping she will his conversation he had with David earlier still spinning around his head.
"You fancy Carla"
It wasn't really a question more of statement it was although David was aware of something he wasn't or maybe he just hadn't thought about it like that. He didn't fancy Carla, Did he? He'd never noticed it before all the time's he'd made excuses to see her, like the time he went to her flat with the Chocolate berry torte to celebrate her new name, not that it was really new she'd been a Connor before.
"Can't celebrate without cake can you." why did he even say that? It was as if she made him nervous he'd never had that feeling around her before but the words just came tumbling out.
David catches him leaving the bistro "so i was right then?
Nick looks back it him slightly confused until he notices what he's talking about as he takes a seat next to David on the bonnet of the car "we kissed" sighing as he says it. But David is looking at him as if there should be more of an explanation to it "and?" David says looking at him shocked waiting for him to elaborate.
"No, not and, we kissed. That's it, my heads a mess" he says as as he stares down at his hands that are playing with the end of his suit jacket, he knew he should be thinking about Erica in all this but he just couldn't get Carla and that kiss out of his head, he need to talk to her. He hadn't even noticed David leaving until he looks up.
"It's make your mind up time pal" David says as he pats Nick on the shoulder. He knew he was right but didn't want to hurt anybody, he'd talk to Carla later no wanting to make any drastic decisions until he knows how she feels. He hopes the feelings mutual.
