Chapter number 27. I'm sick of waiting

"For the last time, I haven't done anything against the law in the last year!" Matt explained one again like he had been for the last hour of sitting in the interview room of the Yabbie Creek police station. "I'll admit to the other stuff, before I ran off, but I didn't lead you all on a wild goose chase to Greenville with a dead end".

Peter puffed looking over at Greg who had definitely had enough of going over the same thing over and over again, "well were obviously not getting anywhere" he said, then reached out to press the button on the recorder.

"So can I go now?" Matt asked, seeming restless.

"No, you'll be staying in the detention center down the road until a court can hear your case" Peter explained as he stood up and moved from behind the desk, "I'll send a lawyer to see you tomorrow" he informed Matt who was being re handcuffed by Greg.

"But-"

"Just do as your told Wilson" Greg warned him before dragging him out of the station.

"Wow I never thought I'd see him again, why didn't some one tell me he'd been caught?" Lara asked after watching Matt being dragged out, from behind the front desk.

"We didn't want you to worry" Peter explained.

"Worry? Are you kidding me, it's great that he's finally behind bars".

"Really?"

"Yes, definitely".

"Good, I was wondering how I was going to tell you, I didn't think you'd take it well".

"And whys that?"

"Well he's your brother".

"Yeah, and he signed papers to kill me, as far as I'm concerned I'm not related to him" Lara told him, "I'm just happy he's finally getting what he deserves" she smiled, by now both her and Peter had moved closer. "I had a really interesting conversation with Jackie today" Lara told him, changing the subject.

"Really, now what's she gossiping about now? Wait no, let me guess... Alf and Colleen are supposedly together".

Lara couldn't help but laugh at him, "no".

"Well what was it then?"

"Well it was more being nosie than gossiping, she was actually asking about us".

"There's been a lot of people asking about us" Peter commented.

"Yeah, but this time it was different, we started talking about Glen and how he would of wanted me to be happy, and then she asked me what was stopping me" Lara explained, "and I I didn't have a clue".

"So what are you trying to say then?"

Lara didn't answer straight away, she could feel herself coming towards him, and her arms fell loosely around his neck. Then, she smiled at him, looked into his eyes and said the words he'd been waiting to hear her say for what seemed like forever, "I'm sick for waiting Peter". And with that she moved right into him, there bodies so close that no air separated them, her lips met his and she didn't pull away, nether of them did.

Peter ran his hands up and down Lara's back, pulling her into him. He could hear her heart racing, just like his, her fingers had now moved from his neck to his head, running through his short hair. Any memory of going back to the old shed were long gone now.

Lara felt like the luckiest woman in the world, every part of her was smiling, and now she wondered why she'd waited so long for this, he'd been there for her through everything, and all she'd done was try and keep her hands off him, and now, she found that impossible to do, even though anybody could walk in and see them, she didn't care.

"Hey did you guys have fun?" Martha smiled as she saw Dylan and Boyd come in followed by Rose pushing Izzy in the pram.

"Yes!" Dylan exclaimed, "I beat Uncle Boyd" he told her proudly with the biggest smile on his face, "do you think Aunty Renie saw me?"

"Of course she did, and I'm sure she's very proud" Martha told, giving him a big hug, "she'll always be proud of you no matter what, and so will I" she whispered, "always".

------------------------------------------------

Back at the station, Jackie made her way in, ready to start her night shift, and then her eyes came across something very out of the ordinary, she didn't believe her eye's, Peter and Lara were-, "oh my gosh, it's true" she whispered to herself seeing Peter and Lara making out on the middle of the station, and they looked very cosy indeed. Trying not to interrupt she went to walk into one of the offices, but managed to drop her bag which was so full it made a thump when it hit the ground. Peter and Lara pulled away with a scare, Lara jumping and grabbing Peter.

"Um sorry" Jackie managed to get out, stumbling on her words.

"It's ok" Peter spat out.

"Um, u, maybe, maybe you should take it that way" Jackie said uncomfortably, pointing to the door, "both your shifts are over".

"Um, yeah, we might just do that" Lara said grabbing Peter's hand and pulling him out of the station.

"Well I thought they'd never leave" Greg commented as he came out of the hallway after Peter and Lara had left.

"Yeah, you saw it too?"

"Yeap, I was lucky to get passed quietly".

"I didn't quite managed to do that, silly me managed to drop my fifty pound bag on the floor".

"Fifty pounds? What the heck have you got in there?" Greg asked looking curious.

"I don't have a clue, everytime I put something in there it never seems to come out" she explained while opening her bag and taking a look at what was inside.

"Really, maybe you should try emptying it some time. Oh well it's about time Peter and Lara got there act's together".

"You got that right" Jackie laughed, "definitely about time. Oh my gosh, I just had the most brilliant idea".

"What?"

"You know how everyone keep joking around and saying that one day I'll gossip so much that I'll start my own collum?"

"Yeah".

"Well maybe I should" she smiled pulling out her digital camera from her bag. "And I know the perfect story to start it all".

"Peter and Lara?"

"Yeah".

"And what the heck have you got a digital camera in your bag for?"

"Oh it's still in there from my brother's wedding a while ago, but now all I have to do it get a picture of Pete and Lara".

"What?"

"For the collum" she told him, making it look as if it had been obvious.

"Well good luck with that" Greg said sarcastically, "I'm off".

"Ok"

"Oh and Jackie?"

"What?"

"Try and get some real work done" he told her before leaving.

------------------------------------------------

"So were do we go now detective?" Lara asked, putting on an irresistible smile. As they reached Peter's car in the car park in front of the station.

"Well" Peter started, wrapping his arms around Lara's waist, "What do you say to a picnic dinner under the stars on the beach?"

"I'd say it sounds beautiful" she said, giving him another kiss and stopping him from saying what ever he was about to say.
