The music was loud and overpowering, not the sort of thing Peter was used to and he hadn't been out dancing in a very long time. He honestly hadn't imagined the night would take this route, but Carla was in her element and he had to admit, he was enjoying the view. The smile on her face lit up the entire room and made his heart swell. The dress she wore was elegant yet showed her toned figure in all the right places.
Peter couldn't ignore the pang of jealousy he felt at the attention she was receiving, she had the men queueing to buy her drinks, to dance with her and she was yet to refuse an offer, relishing in the attention.
Carla felt confident and sexy for the first time in months, a night on the town had been the last thing she thought she would need and yet it proved to be what she needed most. She had lost the small amount of confidence she had about herself the night that Frank attacked her, but being here with all these people admiring her gave her a much needed boost.
She hadn't noticed how Jealous Peter had become as she danced and drank, acting like she had not a care in the world. A tap on her shoulder from a rather gorgeous young man pulled her away from the group she had been with, and she caught this strangers eye as he gave her a wink, bringing a huge smile to her face.
With her trade mark side smile she danced and flirted in a friendly manner to the music "What's ya name babe?"
"Carla!" She shouted over the music.
The pair danced for longer than she had with any other man, and eventually Carla headed over to the bar, ordering a soft drink to bring her back to earth slightly. James, the man she had been dancing with followed her over and stood beside her, both unaware of Peter's burning gaze, watching them intently.
"How about we get out of here babe?" James asked with a wink
"Don't think so love, I'm with someone"
"I won't tell if you won't"
"I won't tell.. Cause nothing's going to happen" Carla looked over her shoulder for Peter and instantly realised how much she had ignored him, he was jealous and she had played on it, loving knowing that his feelings for her were still incredibly strong.
She finished her drink and headed over to where Peter was standing. He didn't acknowledge her, standing with his hands in his pockets, irritated and with a hurt ego. Realising he wasn't in the mood for words, Carla edged close to him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and placing her lips firmly against his. It didn't take long for Peter to respond, placing his arms around her waist and kissing her fiercely, knowing exactly how gutted every man in the room was upon witnessing their steamy encounter.
"Dance with me?" Carla didn't wait for a response as she dragged Peter by the hand back over to the dance floor. Carla danced for a while before Peter finally gave in and joined her, feeling slightly more in his comfort zone as songs he recognised started to play.
