'What time do you send the girls off? x' Peter sent Carla. He was desperate to see her, and he knew it was around this time, 5.00pm that Carla's factory lot went home.
Carla's phone buzzed on the desk. She smiled seeing the text from Peter. '10 minutes x' She sent, knowing he would be coming round.
'Who was that from?' Michelle asked, noticing Carla's smile.
'Oh just Susie' Carla said, referring to an old friend.
Michelle raised an eyebrow 'Oh okay' she said.
'Listen Chelle why don't sign off now and I will meet you back at the flat, send that lot off as well' Carla said.
'If your sure, I'm gagging for a drink' Michelle laughed.
'Yeah, I'm sure, go on' Carla said, running her hands through her hair.
'Thanks love' Michelle said kissing her on her cheek.
'Off you go you lot, the boss is in a good mood.. so come on scarper!' Michelle said.
Carla smiled. She went to put the kettle on at the back of underworld, she knew how Peter liked his coffee, black, with no sugar. She smiled as she put a cup down for him.
He quickly crossed the road, telling Leanne that he had things to do. He slipped discretely into the factory.. unaware he was being watched.
She heard his footsteps and turned around. He gave her his trademark, soft, romantic smile. His eyes boring holes into her.
'Hey love' he said, his arms instinctively wrapping round her.
'How are you?' she asked.
'Great.. I couldn't wait until midnight to see you' he laughed.
'Well I am glad your hear, I've sent everyone home.. so we have the place to ourselves' Carla said.
'You sound like this is your home!' he chuckled.
'More or less is.. sometimes feel's more like home than my flat.. after everything' Carla said.
'Yeah.. well anywhere is home.. as long as your there I am concerned' Peter said.
Carla smiled up at him, Peter's lips meeting hers.
She gripped his collar as his kisses descended down her neck, and across her collarbone.
He picked her up, propping her on one of the desks.
She giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck.
His hands toyed with her shirt buttons, grazing her skin.
'Hang on.. the more I think about this.. the more I realize I am sitting on Julie's desk and lets be honest.. that isn't very romantic' Carla said.
Peer responded by picking her up in his arms, and pulling her into the office.
'That better?' he asked her.
'Much' she smiled.
He felt her tense up slightly, as their bodies met intimately.
'Hey, it's okay' he said, knowing that Frank's assault still lingered heavily in her mind.
'I know.. it is just.. it still reminds me of... him' Carla said.
He ran his hands through her hair.. I know, but your with me..I love you' Peter said, holding her close, letting her close her eyes and enjoy the moment.
'Peter' Carla cried, gripping his back. He chuckled, loving how he made her feel happy and loved.
She glanced at the clock, realizing they had been longer than they thought.
'I'll try my best and get out again' Peter said doing up his buttons.
'Hey, I feel bad now, I don't want you to feel you have to' Carla said.
'Honestly Carla, the idea of ringing in the new year with the woman I love really is what I want' Peter said.
Carla smiled.
'Same' she said.
'Come here' Peter said taking her hand.
'I will see you later alright, I promise' Peter said kissing her nose.
'I will hold you to that' she winked at him, letting their foreheads meet and breath mingle.
'Guess what?' he said.
'What?' she said.
'I love you' he said.
'I'll never get tired of hearing those words' she said before letting him leave.
