It hurt.. it really hurt for Peter to see the love of his life with someone else.. he knew he caused this, he knew he'd hurt her but she'd moved on fast and I don't think he was quite ready for all of that.

Carla ran up the steps, pushing the main door to her safe place.. her factory open, a factory that held a lot of good and bad memories from inheriting a sole owner in 2007 after Paul died.. to Tony blowing the place up and those kisses she'd shared with Peter on Christmas Day and after she had lost Aidan..

That place held a lot of memories, some she didn't want to keep a hold of.. strolling off into the office to begin a long days work.

Kyle walked down the cobbles.. pass Peter, who was stood there.. his white top draping over him, matched with a pair of navy blue denim jeans, his green usn jacket in his hand as he watched the man walk off to the famous Tram Station.

A big smile across Kyle's face, his hair gelled back to a flick.. he knew Carla could fall head over heels for that revolting man.

Quickly scurrying down the cobbles to the factory, Peter couldn't help but run in.. letting himself into the office.. the factory floor was empty as Carla had gone in to go over a few documents before the week would start.

"What do you think your doing.." Carla said, her eyes looking the man she found just so irresistible up and down, noticing how his top button was undone and he never did up the zip to his jeans, revealing the black of his boxers straight through.

"You can't date him.. please, you can't" Peter said, his voice slightly soft as he looked to Carla, their eyes locking.

"Date who? Have you been following me around or something.. thats low Peter, really, low" Carla chuckled, getting up and proceeding to place the stack of the client's orders into their individual categories.

"No.. no! I just saw you two all over each other it's revolting Carla in broad daylight" he turned his nose up, refusing to admit to any jealously.

"Oh you mean like when you and Abi had that little thing on the boat.. in broad daylight" she turned to him, turning his words back.

"That was nighttime and you shouldn't have looked" he answered.

"Same as you shouldn't have looked.. close the door behind you" she slammed the drawer and walked round.

"Why is it always another man for you.. you just can't be alone can you or even sort things out nope if someone argued with you, you turn to someone else for some sex!" He snapped, it was like a bulb had gone off in his head.

"You know WHY, I slept with him, I did it because you dumped me! You broke it off with me so I have a right to sleep with whoever I decide, to be honest you weren't even giving me anything of it, always too busy getting yourself involved with a lot of other selfless women!" She piped up, glaring over at him.

"It was only Abi! Gosh you can never let anything go can you, I didn't sleep with her! You need to get over yourself"

"Only Abi?" She couldn't help but laugh "oh yeah right so.. what about when Tina came after you eh? How come your own pants just fell down! What about Toyah? They fell off then too did they? What about when it was me? You've got no control Peter if a woman wants you you'll happily drop all of your worries for them and you know what.. Kyle, he's a lot better than you ever were, and yes I'm referring to bedroom endeavours" she looked him straight in the eye, a rage of anger through her body trying to take down everything she knew would hurt him.

He swallowed hard, that was a kick in the ribs.. he was better in bed than him? No.. only Peter knew how to make Carla feel good.. no not good, on top of the world.. he had to get out of there, fast.

He rushed out of the factory doors, heading back down the cobbles as Carla stood in the office, her breathing heavy, she knew that she still loved him.. he'd always be her soulmate but he hurt her.

As the hours went by, the day was coming to an end, the mix of fluorescent red's, yellow's and pink's covering the sky as Kyle met Carla outside the factory, a small surprise for her.

She clicked her heels as she came down the steps, walking over to him and giving him a quick kiss, walking to the Rovers as Kyle laid an arm around the woman he became infatuated with.

The pair of them walked into the pub, Carla first as a gentleman's promise, walking to the bar she ordered a large glass of red and he soon followed after ordering a pint of lager.

"Alright mate?" Kyle said, his head turning to Peter who had come up next to him.

Carla turning to look to the pair of them as Peter's fist was thrown out to slam into the side of this bloke's face, a graze across his knuckles as Kyle fell to the floor.

"Peter!" Carla yelled, as he tumbled on top of Kyle, a few more vicious throws of fists across his face as the commotion of the pub consisted of Steve and Tim trying to pull their mate off and Bernie and Tracy filming the riot.

Once Peter had been pulled away, kept aside with the help of Daniel, Kyle and Carla were quick to leave not before Carla shouted "you're pathetic!"

"What was that for?" Daniel asked, curious to know why his brother was being quiet so fierce.. he knew Peter loved Carla, no doubt about that but to throw a punch at her new fella?

Carla apologised to Kyle but he seemed he didn't want to hear it as he shrugged her off.. leaving Carla standing in the middle of the road, watching as her bloke walked home, his face bleeding, his lip too.. was life just gonna be like this way from now?
