That afternoon Robbie came from upstairs. She just got dressed after they all had watched a dvd together. Now she was getting ready to go and meet Peter at the park bench. Roxy had taken Amy to the park since it was such a nice day out, and Glenda also had gone out.
Ronnie was curled up on the sofa and every now and then she dozed off a little.
As Robbie walked into the living room she sat next to her mum on the sofa.
- 'Mum' Robbie said as she softly gave her mum a little tickle on her side.
- 'Mummy I know you are awake cause you're not snorring' Robbie said as she closely put her face to Ronnie's and softly pinched her nose.
Then Ronnie's arms surrounded Robbie round her waist and started tickling her.
- 'Mum nooo, please let go of me, stop, i just wanted to see if you were awake or really a sleep' Robbie said as she tried to get her mums hands of her.
- 'You're off to meet up with Peter then?' Ronnie said as she sat up and pulled Robbie on her lap.
- 'Yes, so let go of me i don't wanna let him wait for me' Robbie said.
- 'I want you home between half 5 and 6 yeah' Ronnie said 'I'm gonna cook tonight cause I doubt there will be much cooking in this crazy week'.
- 'Yeah alright' Robbie said' I'll be home by then, don't worry'.
- 'Alright my little lovey, have fun with Peter yes' Ronnie said.
- 'What do you mean by that?' Robbie asked her mum suspicious, thinking she meant something by it.
- 'I meant nothing by it sweetie, but by the way you're reacting now, i'm gonna warn you not to do anything stupid ok' Ronnie smiled.
- 'Oh shuss you' Robbie said just as Jack walked into the livingroom.
- 'What's going on?' he asked looking at Ronnie and Robbie.
- 'Well your daughter here is meeting up with Peter and wants to sno…'Ronnie said, but Robbie put her hands on her mums mouth.
- 'I said shuss mum!' Robbie said not wanting Jack to know.
- 'Here' Jack said, grabbing his wallet and grabbing a tenner out of his pocket' you'll go and have something to drink with Peter at the café, or at the Vic yeah, just a fizzy drink or juice yeah' Jack said winking at Robbie'and then back at home on time for dinner alright?'.
- 'Yeah, thanks daddy' Robbie said on purpose giving Jack a kiss on the cheek 'look and learn something from it "mother"! '
Ronnie and Jack smiled as Robbie gave Ronnie a kiss and left the living room.
As Robbie walked out the door, she looked as if anyone else was around the square.
She saw some people walking around since it was a nice day out.
She crossed the street to the park and saw Peter already waiting on the bench, like they agreed to meet eachother.
- 'Hey' Robbie said as she walked over and greeted Peter, she gave him a little kiss.
- 'Dad gave me a tenner to get us something to drink at the café or the Vic, but just a fizzy drink he said' Robbie smiled.
- 'Dad ey' Peter said' you already used to calling Jack that?'
- 'Well it's easier, I mean I still call him Jack at sometimes but I just love calling him dad, I hated having to call Archie dad or my father but with Jack it's different, I really feel he's the dad I wanted' Robbie said.
- 'Probably until you get yourself in trouble again' Peter said with a cheeky smile 'think you're not getting away that easy with Jack'.
- 'You wanna bet, him or Ronnie, Ronnie's worse, anyway, parents are never easy when we get in trouble right' Robbie said smiling.
- 'So you wanna go to the cafe first and talk or do you wanna go to the Vic first?' Peter asked.
- 'Is your dad or Jane working there today?' Robbie asked.
- 'No, i think Marie is in today' Peter said.
- 'Alright let's see if the booth in the back is still available then' Robbie said 'don't wanna run into any family today'.
They both walked out the park into Bridgestreet, as they wanted to cross over to the café, Jay and Ben came out of the minimarket carrying some grocerybags.
Ben greeted them and Jay just looked at Robbie.
Peter greeted both boys but Robbie just made sure to not give Jay a glance, she just greeted Ben. Then they walked into the café.
- ' That was weird?' Peter said.
- 'What?' Robbie said knowing what he meant but just tried not to.
- 'The way Jay was looking at you' Peter said' he better lay off you, i mean at the party he was well wasted but now…'.
- 'Don't worry about him, i ehm i didn't notice it really, i was ehm i was looking at Ben, think he starts to get adjusted again being back on the square, what do you think?' Robbie said trying to get Peter's attention on something else, she wasn't gonna mention the little run in she had with Jay the other day.
- 'Well i also have been thinking about that, i mean doesn't mean he forgot about when he was away and where he was but now he's back with is family and all' Peter said 'dad also says he's glad Ben is back'.
As soon as they got into the café, where it was really quiet, they walked straight to the back to sit in the last booth.
Peter had ordered something to drink.
At first the young teenagers looked at eachother. Peter was smiling a little nervous.
- 'What?' Robbie asked, blushing a little.
- 'I missed you' Peter said also blushing a little.
- 'Really' Robbie asked a little insecure.
- 'Yeah of course, i mean you wanted a little break, and i didn't wanna cause you any more stress, i can imagine how it's at your place with both your mums, a new dad, your sister and all the wedding stress and now you're also moving again' Peter said.
- 'Yeah, there's a lot of stress, just a couple of days more and then it'll all be over hopefully, then i will start packing, when mum and dad come back from Paris they're gonna do my room at the apartment' Robbie said.
- 'So you're happy you're moving then?' Peter asked.
- 'Don't know, not having Roxy so close is gonna be a little weird, you know what I mean, she's gonna be living upstairs of course, and mum well, i kinda got used to her being there now also but on the other hand it's a couple less eyes to watch me' Robbie said with a cheeky smile.
- 'Well that's a positive thing right' Peter said also smiling.
Robbie slowly moved her hand to Peters hand and grabbed it.
- 'It could mean i'll be having the apartment to myself when mum and dad are working at the club' Robbie said.
- 'Robbie, you're looking for trouble again!' Peter said smiling ' so ehm, does that mean we're back on again then?'.
- 'Excuse me, i needed some space i didn't let you go completely mister' Robbie said 'so you wanna go have a drink at the Vic then, this place is dead'.
- 'Yeah sure' Peter said as he leaned over and gave Robbie a kiss.
They both got up, grabbed each other's hand, said goodbye to Marie and left the café to go to the Vic.
The Vic was more filled with people having a drink and talking, it seemed to be more alive than the café.
Peter and Robbie walked in and Peter sat down on the sofa, while Robbie walked over to the bar to get something for them to drink.
Kat, who was on the other side of the bar saw Robbie walking up, and nodded to Tracy that she was gonna take Robbie's order.
- 'Hiya darling, you alright then´ Kat said as she leaned over the bar a little to Robbie.
Robbie got onto the barstool and leaned over to Kat and pecked her on the cheek.
- 'Thanks for last night Kat, thanks for listening' Robbie said 'and yes i'm alright, ehm can I have two cokes for Pete and me please'.
- 'They're on the house darling, and i'm glad you're alright, and if you ever wanna talk again, Kat's here for ya' Kat said ' here you go'.
Kat handed Robbie the two drinks as Robbie smiled at Kat.
A while later, Whitney and Lauren also walked into the Vic and saw Peter and Robbie and joined them at their table.
- 'Hey you two lovebirds, you both look cosy here' Whitney said.
- 'You're back to being Bonnie and Clyde again then?' Lauren asked.
- 'Yeah' Peter said looking satisfied with that.
- 'Pete could you get us some drinks then maybe please?' Robbie asked giving him the tenner Jack gave her.
- 'Sure' Peter said 'and then after that we'd better leave if you have to be home between 5 and half 5'Peter said.
- 'So you both alright then?' Whitney asked.
- 'Yeah, we talked a little and we realised we've been missing each other' Robbie said smiling.
- 'Aaaaahhh how sweet' both girls, Lauren and Whitney, sighed making a little fun of it.
- 'So you're all set for the wedding then Thursday, it's gonna be such a great day, we're gonna party?' Lauren then asked 'My dad said he will be driving uncle Jack'.
- ' Yes I heard, we'll be driving in Roxy's car, oh and we bought some shoes for me yesterday, can't imagine I'll be wearing them all day'.
- 'Well at least for the wedding, i mean when we're gonna be here celebrating the party you can wear something more comfortable right?' Whitney said.
- 'Yeah I guess ' Robbie said 'so heard your mum and Gregg are moving into our house soon'.
- 'Yeah they told Abi and me last night, so you Ronnie and uncle Jack will move into his apartment then right' Lauren said.
- 'Yeah and you'll be moving into my room maybe?' Robbie said.
- ' Well that might be Abs, who might be getting your room, think I'll be having Roxy's room and Oscar will be in Glenda's' Lauren said.
- 'So after the wedding you'll be moving into Jack's then?' Whitney asked.
- 'Yeah, so i might pack my stuff over the weekend and then when mum and dad come back we'll probably be moving in' Robbie said as Peter returned with the drinks and sat down with the girls again.
- 'I'm really looking forward to the party Thursday, i mean the wedding first of course but then we're gonna have ourselves a little party here, a little dancing, …drinking maybe' Lauren said smiling cheeky.
- 'We'll see Lor, don't wanna get in trouble again just before my parents, ….oh did you hear what i just said, my parents, I really like the sound of that… my parents, just before "my parents" leave for their honeymoon, they might not even go if I would get caught again' Robbie said.
- 'Oh they'll go, they just leave disappointed, you know that's what "parents" do, get used to it Robbie "Branning" 'Lauren said.
- 'Well so we won't get caught then' Whitney said smiling .
Peter shook his head hearing all the plans the girls were already making for Thursday.
