Chap 16
Just decided to split this as it was going to be far to long. Direct continuation for the last chapter.
Peter stood angry as Carla approached him with a sobbing Lia in her arms.
"Baby what's wrong? Where's frank gone?"
"I'll. I don't know. He. And then I. Ill tell you later. I'm too angry"
Peter was furious. Who was this guy? What gave him the right to ask who he was?
"Mamma hurts" Lia sobbed into Carla's neck.
"Simon what did you do?" Peter stared at his soon raising his voice slightly.
"Peter. Calm down will you Please. They were playing. It's fine"
Carla looked at Simon as he got upset at been shouted at by his dad.
"Peter go outside and have a cigarette and calm down. Now" she stared at him as he made his way outside.
"Now missy..." Carla lifted Lia onto her desk. "No more tears please where's my big girl gone?" Lia laughed as Simon sat in the corner and watched on.
"Si come here to me" Carla called him over.
"I'm sorry Carla and Lia, I was just going to fast that's all"
"Hey don't worry pal. Accidents happen all the time it's ok mate. Your dads just in a mood take no notice of him" Carla smiled as she ruffled Simons curls.
"Ok let's go to see this amazing film" Carla laughed with as much enthusiasm as she could although she was worried about Peter.
"Ok so one baba asleep and your little munchkin is still hyper as hell after all those I'm sorry sweets you bought him tonight" Carla announced as she joined Peter on her sofa her hand snaking around his neck toying with the hairs at the base line of his neck.
"Yea I was a bit short earlier..ill tell you why once he's gone to bed"
"No baby tell me now please I'm worried"
"That foster lad... He obviously saw us kissing and then he got very thick with me asking was I just your hired help looking after Lia or was I your keeper cause I asked him what he was back for?"
"I see" Carla had failed to tell Peter about his over friendliness and didn't want to bring it up now as she could see how wound up he was about frank.
"Carla I swear I wanted to deck the smarmy ponse... I mean who the heck does he think he is"
"Babe please put him outta your mind ill deal with him on Monday okay" Carla start kissing his jawline and neck softly as he seemed to untense a little and relax.
Carla made a mental note to call rob to meet her early Monday morning.
2 hours later after allowing Simon to stay up late and watch a film with them he had fallen asleep resting on peters lap. He wanted to feel grown up and Carla and Peter had enjoyed spending time with just him as Lia had received the same treatment last weekend when he was at his friends house.
"He never even stirred" Peter smiled as he rejoined Carla on the couch. Pausing before deciding if he wanted to say the the thoughts that had been running around his head all evening.
"Yano foster fancies you right?" He said cheek in tongue.
"Pfttt go way out a that Peter. He does not"
"He does Carla. Look you just promise you will tell me if he tries anything with you"
Carla wondered whether she should tell Peter about his moves in the factory but again decided against it.
"I promise you I will but if your right in Saying he saw us kissing earlier then he won't will he"
"Carla. That man strikes me as the kind of guy who doesn't take no for an answer so I mean it he put a toe outta place with you and ill kill him"
"Awh your a little sweetheart. It's been ages since a guys stuck up for me like that"
"I'd go to the ends if the earth to protect the ones I love. You Lia and Simon are top of list. Just remember that"
"take me to bed Peter" Carla whispered as she placed her arms around his neck...
