i've never written a fanfic or anything before but im such a massive fan of carter and i was bored so i gave it a try! good and bad reveiws are welcome.
Im not sure whether i will carry it on as i like reading them more than writing them :) im not a very good writer aha so dont expect it to be amazing or anything :'), but thankyou for reading!It is just going to be about Peter and Carla's relationship it hasn't really got a plot to it and its not going to be going along with the spoilers for the real Coronation Street but it is set in the current timeline of Coronation Street :) (after they have admitted there love to eachother and slept together)...
It was a cold winters morning, Leanne was dressing simon in his outdoor wear ready for their walk to school.
''Is Dad Coming with us? because if he is we better get moving dad's a slow coach at walking, he always makes us late!'' Simon said to Leanne, whilst giggling away.
''Hey you! I heard that ya know'' Peter said pointing towards simon in a joking manner.
''So then... you coming? it is his last walk to school before christmas afterall..'' Leanne said, looking towards peter with hope.
''How could i turn that offer down?'' Peter replied smiling, just about managing to hide the disappointment he held, knowing he now couldn't pop in to see Carla quick whilst Leanne was taking Simon.
''Come on then''Simon exclaimed pulling his dad down the stairs of the flat.
Just as They were about to cross the road Carla's black Mercedes came driving round the corner, Peter managed to flash a quick smile towards her as she drove past parking her car infront of the factory.
''Morning'' Carla exclaimed, stepping out of her car slightly confused to see the family of three approaching her.
''Heya, i just wondered if it was okay to drop the measurements for the kids nativity costumes off later, if your still alright with doing it?''Leanne asked smiling.
''Sure, No problem, You can drop'em of around lunch time if ya want and i will get Hayley onto them''Carla replied swiftly, trying to have this conversation over and done with as soon as possible, as seeing Leanne and Peters hands entwined with one anouthers and watching them playing happy famillies was making her feel even more uncomfortable with the situation as she already was.
Peter was also hoping this conversation would be over soon, he could tell it was making Carla awkward as well as him, he was so tempted to just release Leannes hand and rush over to Carla and swoop her up in his arms, she looked gorgeous today,she always did. She was wearing her black fur coat accompanied with some skin-tight black jeans,And a pair of suede ankle boots, heels of course. Her hair was blowing away with the wind and her cheeks were rosey pink from the Cold, Leanne interupted his gaze. ''ohh, sorry, im not avaliable at lunch, i've got a dentist appointment, are you avaliable later on in the evening?''Leanne answered.
''I can drop'em off love'' Peter said jumping at the chance to see Carla, trying not to Sound excited though so Leanne wouldn't catch on to his eagerness.
Leanne immediatly hated the idea of Peter seeing Carla alone, but she didn't want to kick up a fuss about it or it might rock the Progress they were making with their marriage and Cause him to want to end it again.
''Okay love, if your sure''Leanne replied, trying not to sound bothered.
''alright well i'll see ya later then''Carla said with a slight smile, turning towards the Factory and walking off.
Leanne, Simon and Peter Continued there walk to school.
As Lunchtime approached, the Factory lot were getting ready to leave.
''You fancy joining us for lunch Mrs Connors?''Sean Beamed looking towards Michelle and Carla who were standing outside the office talking.
''Ohh yeah, im starving, You coming?''Michelle answered grabbing her coat and looking at Carla awaiting a reply.
''Ohh i cant,im waiting for Peter to drop off the measurements for the nativity costumes,You go ahead though''Carla said smiling at Michelle.
''alright if your sure?'' Michelle replied, Not wanting to leave Carla alone but knowing it would annoy Carla if she didn't give her some space.
''of course im sure, its only an hour, ya dont have to worry about me anymore'' Carla said Knowing she no longer had problems with being alone.
''Okay well ring me if ya change your mind''Michelle said smiling and putting her coat on,walking towards the factory doors with the workers.
Carla just replied with a smile and a simple ''mhm''.
Moments later Peter entered the Factory, Locking the doors behind him and joining Carla in the office, where she was sat at her desk doing paperwork.
''Hey you''Peter said catching Carla's attention.
''ohh alright''Carla replied, stopping what she was doing and stepping up from her chair.''Those the measurements?'' she said gesturing her head towards the folded bit of paper Peter had clutched in his hands.
''hmmm?..oh yeah'Peter said handing Carla the folded paper,who then placed it on the desk and walked closer towards Peter,wrapping her arms around his neck.
''right well, i will get Hayley onto em''she said smiling.
''Ta'' Peter replied, placing his hands round Carla's waist and moving in for a kiss before they were interupted by Peter's Phone ringing in his Jacket pocket.
Carla let out a little sigh and pulled herself away from Peter as he grabbed his phone out of his Pocket to see the name on his phone red 'Leanne',
He looked towards Carla and let out a sigh.
''Its alright, answer it''Carla said smiling, but still not being able to hide the disappointment she felt, after they had been interupted.
''Hello...Yeah i just dropped em of now...alright Love see you in 10 minutes..bye...yeah.. love you too'' Peter felt forced to say the last line after Leanne had said it to him, afterall, it would make her suspicious if he didn't reply.
Carla looked towards Peter awkwardly ''hmph, looks like you better get going''She said turning back towards her desk and sitting down.
''I dont love her, you know that, i just had to say it or its bound to look weird''Peter said trying to explain, seeing Carla's mood had went down since Leanne had phoned.
''mhm''Carla said not really showing any interest to what Peter had to say, afterall he could have just hung up and pretended he hadn't heard her, she knew he was still going to have feelings for Leanne but she was annoyed that he felt it appropriate to say 'i Love you' to Leanne infront of her.
''Come on Carla..I realise i shouldn't have said that, but it were just an automatic reply, you know im only with her until the trial is over, and that its you i love''.
''I know Peter... but ya know hearing you say them words to her just makes me realise how much this is going to hurt her''Carla said sighing.
''so, what you saying...?''Peter asked fearing the answer Carla was about to give.
''That maybe we should stop seeing eachother until we can be together properly Peter, I love you so much ..but its already not fair on Leanne as it is, Let alone making a fool out of her in the process, and then what if you dont end up leaving her aye? what if you get cold feet again? its just... if it was hard for you to leave her before, its just gunna be harder for you now your marriage is getting on better again''Carla said, sadly looking towards Peter and seeing the dissapoitment in his eyes.
''But Carla...I love you, I will leave Leanne, no matter what because no matter whether our Marriage begins to work again or not... she isnt you..and anyway, our marriage wont get any better because a marriage needs love.. and i dont love her anymore Carla, I love you, You know the only reason it was hard for me to leave her before was because of Simon, i cant ruin his christmas aswell as his life all in one space, and because of the trial aswell...'' Peter replied, tears welling up in his hazel brown eyes.
''Peter...''Carla said stepping up from her desk and walking over towards him, resting her hand on his cheek ''Im not saying we cant be together..im just saying for the time being i think to make this fairer on Leanne and Simon we should just stay friends, until we Can be together as a proper couple and you should put effort into making these few weeks the best they can be for Leanne and Simon to remember, instead of sneaking off all'time to see me''she explained looking deeply into Peters eyes.
''I know you're right and i understand what you mean... but its going to be so hard not to be able to be with you..''Peter said before being interupted by Carla.
''I know darling..i feel exactly the same but nothings changed, we both still know we love eachother..we just cant show it thats all''Carla said her eyes welling up with tears, knowing how hard this was going to be for them both.
Peter didn't want this to happen but if Carla thought it was best, it was only right he respected her decision.
''ok but...dont you go forgetting its you i love, not Leanne.. and once Frank is locked up, we'll be spending the rest of our lives together..i promise''
Peter said eager to remind Carla.
''I know...and Im sorry that im doing this...but Leanne and Simon need to have some good last memories before you end it''Carla said smiling slightly although she had a tear rolling down her cheek.
''Hey... dont be sorry''Peter said softly, wiping away the stray tear ''It means alot to me that your thinking of Simon''Peter said, giving Carla a smile ''come ere''.
Peter Wrapped his arms around Carla, pulling her into his body and taking in the Sweet scent of her hair as she rested her head on his shoulder.
''I love you''he whispered into her ear as he tightened his hold, knowing this was the last time he could hold her like this until they could get together properly.
Carla pulled away and looked into Peters eyes with a smile ''I love you too''She replied before giving him one last soft kiss on the lips,
both of them wishing it didn't have to be their last, Before finally both pulling out of it and letting go of eachother.
''You better get going''Carla said looking deep into Peters eyes and stroking his arms, it pained her so much to have to say them words.
''Yeah'' Peter replied, not bothering to hide how heartbreaking this was for them both, before forcing himself to let her go and walk away.
He was already hating being away from her, she was like a seed that was permently planted in his mind, aswell as his heart,infact...no, it was much bigger than a seed,
she was all he ever thought about, there was no room in his mind for him to think about anything else other than her,Let alone his heart. He had never loved anyone so much before, he never even knew it was possible. There was no way he could imagine life without her...because she was his life, hmph, she was his everything.
He just couldnt wait for these weeks to be over with,he had no idea how he was going to get through them, infact the only thing getting him through them would be knowing that once they were over he could spend the rest of his life with her and Simon, the only two things that mattered to him in the world.
