Okay - so firstly, thank you to all the lovely reviews I had since I last reviewed. Secondly.. I haven't updated in absolutely ages - I apologies for this but my writers block is at an all time high! I want to say I'll keep this up but I can't promise! This chapter is basically a semi filler to get me back into it and a bit soppy but.. I can't help it.. #carter are so damn cute and holy shit they're getting engaged in the show *spazzes out* This is dedicated to Little_Moranian :)

Peter carried Carla into the bedroom, delighting in her playful giggles, laughing for the first time he had all week. His body collapsed over hers on the bed, his hands finding hers and pinning them up against the pillow as he kneeled between her legs and kissed her neck both lovingly and passionately, moving his lips along her jaw line and delicately rubbing against her lips.

He smiled as she let out a pleasurable sigh, he hadn't thought about how much she'd missed him and he was glad they could finally be together. She was right - she was the reason he'd not gone through with his wedding and they had to try and make a go of it.

'I love.. you.. Car' he mumbled through their kiss, letting go of her hands and moving them down her body to her waist.

'I love you too.. you said I'd find someone.. you were right' she said raising her knees and wrapping her legs around his waist. Her hands now free, she moved them to his chest, undoing the buttons of his shirt.

' I was right wasn't I.. just you didn't have to look far' he said, moving his nose to her ear and nudging it gently before flicking his tongue against her ear lobe as she pushed his shirt off his broad, toned shoulders.

'Not far at all..' she whispered running her finger nails down his chest, lingering at his belt.

He grinned, giving her a little nod of approval as she slid her fingers into his belt loops and pulled his belt open..

'I tell you what, last night with you was perfect.. and more than reminded me of why I did what I did' Peter said as the pair lay, their bodies entwined in bed.

'I'm glad I can satisfy you' Carla chuckled happily.

'You can.. but it's not that Car.. it's not just about sex' Peter chuckled, but his tone was serious.

'I know..' she said.

'It's you.. you don't think enough of yourself, you're just beautiful, inside and out' Peter said as rosy blush crept up Carla's cheeks.

'See, look at you blushing' he said rolling onto his side and kissing her softly.

'Not many men have spoken about me like that.. that's all' she said.

'It only took me five minutes to see you were special, we just clicked huh?' Peter said as Carla nodded, beaming.

'Peter.. I know you want to take things slow.. and I completely get that, I do.. but how long.. do you think?' Carla said as Peter sighed.

'Truthfully Car, I don't know. I hate keeping us a secret, I want nothing more than to be able to show you off in public.. but I need to get back on track with Si, and even then, I can't just announce I've got a new girlfriend.. plus.. I don't even know if we should pretend we've just started seeing each other rather than announcing we've been having an affair' he said as Carla sat up, nodding.

'I can wait baby, I promise.. it's just so hard, knowing you're across the road and I have to wait for stolen moments' she said as he agreed, giving her a gentle nod.

'One day, we won't have to do that darling, I promise' Peter said softly.

Peter came through from the bathroom, a white towel wrapped around his waist. Carla raised her eyebrow, biting her lip at the sight.

'Something smells good..' Peter said looking at Carla.

'I made your favourite' Carla said pushing the coffee cup towards him.

'Our favourite' he corrected her as she chuckled.

'I know you have to get back in a bit Peter.. but can we do this again soon, please?' Carla asked as Peter put his coffee down and walked towards her, putting his hands on her waist and tilting his head.

'I wouldn't dream of saying no, last night.. made me realise we need to do this more often, I thought.. this weekend, Lea's having Si.. so we could go out… on a proper date, not like the last one, this one will be proper, my treat' Peter said.

'I think I'd like that very much..' Carla whispered initiating a kiss..
