Chapter 4
As Thursday morning approached, Carla woke up to remember she didn't have work so she lifted up Peter's arm and lay down on his chest and felt him breathing. Carla slowly fell back to sleep.
Two hours passed and Peter woke to the sight of coffee and toast being carried over to him on a tray by Carla. Half an hour later and Carla was washing up, Peter walked up to her and put his hands on her hips and started kissing her neck. Carla turned round and swung her arms around his shoulders and they kissed passionately. A few minutes later, Carla received a text from Michelle saying "Meet me in the pub in half an hour." Carla put down her phone and went to get ready. When Carla came from the bedroom all ready to go, she kissed Peter who was sat on the couch and headed for the door.
On arrival to the pub, Michelle already had a round in. Carla said "Hi, Michelle replied with "Hi love, how was your night with Peter?" Carla smiled "great thank you, had a lovely cuddle and sleep." Michelle smiled and said "Aww, that's so sweet. Carla said "I love him so much and I really want to start a family with him but not sure he does." Michelle had a surprised look on her face and said "Oh Carla that's the best thing I've heard since the engagement and I've never heard you say you want kids before." Carla replied "I didn't not until I got with him, spending time with little Simon made me realise how much I wanted one of my own and Peter is brilliant." Michelle just smiled.
A short time passed and Michelle offered to get another round in, Carla glanced at her watch "I better not, Chell, it's getting on," "thanks for the offer though," "we could meet up later though if you want?" Michelle replied with "Yea course meet you and Peter in here at half 7" Carla said "It's a date." Michelle smiled and finished her drink.
Carla walked into her flat to find a note from Peter which read 'Carla, had to go out, will bring back a takeaway so don't bother cooking, love Peter.' After reading the letter Carla smiled and put the kettle on and made herself a lovely cup of coffee. After finishing her coffee Carla placed her cup in the sink and went for a shower.
Six o'clock approached and Peter walked through the door with a Chinese Takeaway. As Peter plated up Carla said "Oh yeah were meeting Michelle in The Rovers at half 7." Peter nodded and said "That's ok was going to go for a drink anyway. How's your dinner?" Peter asked. "Mm it's great" Carla said nodding in appreciation. After dinner, they headed to The Rovers.
On arrival at The Rovers, Peter headed to the bar to get drinks in. "A red wine and two Orange juices" Peter asked. Michelle came in just as Peter sat down, "Thanks for getting the drinks in Peter." Michelle said while taking her coat off. "How's your afternoon been Chell?" Carla asked. Michelle looked at Carla and said "Not bad thanks yours" "Good had a lovely Chinese courtesy of Peter." Carla said as she wrapped her arms around Peter and kissed him on the cheek. Michelle looked at them and went "Aww sweet." Carla smiled and said "I know," Michelle laughed.
A little while later Michelle went to the bar to get another round in. She turned round to see Carla kissing Peter, Leanne walked through the door and looked at them both and shouted "Oh look it's the slut and the sleezeball." Carla got up and walked out crying, Peter followed to find Carla slouched down in front of the pub, he kissed her on the head, she looked up and then they hugged and Peter said "Everything's going to be ok, you've got me and no-one including Leanne is going to change that. Carla looked up and smiled. Peter then grabbed her hand and said "Come on, I'm taking you home." She smiled again.
When they got back to the flat, Carla went to sit down while Peter put the kettle on. Peter called through from the kitchen "you ok Carla?" "Yeah I am," she replied. Peter smiled and went back to finishing making the coffees. He handed Carla hers and sat next to her, placing his on the table. Once they'd finished, Peter washed up the cups, Carla called through to him "Fancy watching a film when you're finished?" Peter called back "Yeah sure, you can pick one, I'll be there shortly." Carla flicked through the film channels A couple of minutes later, Peter came and sat near Carla, she lay back to lean on him and they watched the film together. Two hours passed and the film had finished, they both decided to head to bed.
