Jealously was something Peter hated with a passion, especially when it was coming from him. Shortly after Carla had left the pub on Monday, her factory employees had come in and they were all talking about the "really" hot guy that Carla practically had a date with on Thursday night. Peter couldn't help but listen to their conversation and Michelle had heard it too, which led her to calling Carla straight away to give her a piece of her mind for not telling.
Carla explained the situation to Michelle and insisted that it wasn't a date. Michelle then filled Peter in on everything and he decided straight away that he didn't like the sound of this Marc at all.
Peter had to admit that Marc was probably a real decent guy, he had invited Carla to a charity event after all but he still hated him all the same. He was amazed how much he could hate someone that he didn't even know.
Thursday night was when his hatred had really set in, it was when he saw Carla standing outside her building, obviously waiting to be picked up. She looked totally stunning, She was wearing a little white dress that stopped just above her knees and the colour of it did amazing things to her recently tanned skin. She had a pair of killer high heels on her feet and her long brown hair was let loose around her shoulders in little waves, making Peter wonder if she had curled it specially for the evening ahead.
When Carla saw him, she smiled happily and eagerly waved him over
"Hi handsome" She said as he crossed the road and made his way towards her, He knew it was just a pet name but he hoped she meant it.
"Wow" he said "you look incredible" She smiled at him again
"Why, thank you." She said and put her arms around his neck and hugged him rather unexpectedly. She had no idea why but she had had an urge to be close to him. Peter was rather surprised by her gesture but he held her against him all the same.
"You smell amazing too" He said truthfully, Carla let go of him and looked down at her watch, Peter sensed she'd been waiting out there for a while and asked "So what time is your date supposed to be picking you up?" He really hated using the word date, Carla looked up and shook her head at him
"Peter, this is not a date." She said firmly because after thinking about it properly, she definitely didn't want it to be a date. Peter didn't quite look like he believed her though so she then said "Peter it's not, this guy is a potential client and he asked me to go to this thing with him because it's the only time we can chat before he goes on a business trip next week" Carla said still watching him, She could tell that he was insanely jealous and if she was honest, she was kind of glad that he felt that way. "Anyways he were supposed to meet me at half seven and as of now he is ten minutes late" She added
"Ten minutes? He's kept you here for Ten minutes? Oh well you don't want to do business with someone like that" he said smirking putting his arm around Carla she grinned at the arm that was hanging down from her shoulder
"Ten minutes isn't that long and there could be traffic" She said, Peter shook his head at her
"Nope he's far too late to deserve a night in your company, I think you should call him up and cancel, then you can come back to mine. Me Dad's got a casserole in the oven plus Si is desperate for another game of monopoly" He said pulling Carla in closer, She smiled at him and shook her head
"I can't do that, it's for charity"
"That's what the Internet is for Carla, you can donate to all kinds of organisations all from the comfort of your own home."
"Now that's not very charitable is it now Peter Barlow?" she said holding onto the hand that was rested on her shoulder. "Besides he's a potential client, how unprofessional would that look eh" Peter nodded at her defeated, knowing he wouldn't change her mind "Casserole and Monopoly sounds tempting though, well… the monopoly part does anyway" She laughed and the honk of a car horn suddenly startled them both.
"Ere he is" Carla said as a black Mercedes pulled up in front of them. Peter took his arm away from her quickly and swallowed as a tall blonde guy got out of the car, he was dressed in a sharp suit and he was smiling sickeningly as he made his way over to them.
"Good evening Carla. I'm so sorry I'm not usually late like this" he said his cockney accent surprising Peter, Carla shook her head at him
"Well I should hope not." she said rather annoyed that Marc was late again but she was smiling at him in a away which made Peter feel sick.
"I have to be honest with you, I got lost on the way here. Even though I came the other day, my sat nav is bloody useless" He said and he was still smiling at Carla in this annoying charming kind of way. Peter found it incredibly rude that Marc didn't even acknowledge him.
"Shall we get going then?" Marc said gesturing towards his expensive car, Carla nodded and turned to Peter
"Don't mind me" he said dryly and began to walk off in the direction of his home, She rolled her eyes at him and said
"Bye Peter" after him.
He hated letting her get into that car and all night long his thoughts were consumed by what Marc and Carla could have been getting up to at this hotel. He really hated the way everything had turned out with Carla, Peter knew that he was the only one to blame for not being with her anymore and he knew he didn't have a right to be so jealous, especially since they'd had this "just friends" policy going on but he just couldn't seem to help it.
Peter had tried to tell himself that it was just because he cared about Carla and he wanted her to be happy. Although deep down he knew that he only wanted her to be happy with him. It was selfish of him to think that way and he detested being that kinda guy, but it was honestly the way seeing Carla with another man made him feel.
It was three fifteen the next day and Peter was strolling up and down the street aimlessly, He lit a cigarette and he took a deep drag as a familiar voice called out
"Hiya" he smiled as Carla crossed the road and made her way towards him, Dressed in her favourite leather jacket as the weather was a lot cooler than the days before, a grey top and black skinny jeans. Her hair was still loose and wavy from last night, Peter couldn't help but give her the once over with his eyes as she always looked so effortlessly beautiful.
"Hey" he said as she was smiling back at him, That smile of hers still gave him butterflies and Peter was sure that he should have got used to this feeling by now but it just wouldn't seem to go away. "How was this charity thing last night then?" He asked straight off, he needed to know whether this Marc guy that she'd gone with, had made an impression on her or not, She nodded at him as he blew smoke from out of his mouth.
"Oh it were okay, rather boring at times. I won something, that's actually why I came over to talk to you" she poked him softly in the chest as she said you and smiled broadly, he watched her intrigued
"Go on" he said
"So there were this raffle thing there last night and I ended up winning one of those Nintendo WiiU things right" Peter laughed at the idea of Carla winning a games console, She nodded on the same wavelength "I know, Anyways I have no one to give it to because I know your Si's got one all ready and I even asked David if he wanted it for Max but he has one too." Peter nodded, wondering where she was going with this little story. He exhaled again and said
"Why didn't you give it to that Matt ? Y'know the one who you went to the event with." he was watching Carla for a reaction
"You mean Marc?" She corrected him even though they both knew that he knew the guys name, Peter smirked at her
"Whatever he's called" Carla shook her head at his immature response, She could tell he was still jealous even though she'd made it clear to him that her interests in Marc were strictly professional.
"Oh he reckons he's far too mature for a games console, which is a bit ridiculous because he won V.I.P tickets to some dire football match and the fool actually jumped up onto his chair and started cheering" she said rolling her eyes, Peter smiled a little smile as it sounded like this Marc hadn't made a good impression on Carla after all. "Anyways I've decided I wanna keep it, I mean it came with Mario Kart which I'm obviously so good at because I beat you that time down at the bowling alley." She laughed and so did Peter. "So I was thinking, how bout you and Si come over later and help me set it up because I aven't got a clue and then maybe afterwards we can play a few games?"
"I'd love to but Simon's actually going out tonight, It's someone's birthday, they're going to the cinema and then Nando's" Peter said disappointed because a night in with Simon and Carla would have been a lot of fun, Carla looked disappointed too and said
"Uh Nando's sounds amazing right now, I'm starvin" She'd had a meeting over lunch and had decided to skip eating all together as there was a lot to discuss with her clients, She thought for a moment and then smiled coyly at Peter "Right… well seeing as Simon obviously has a better social life than the pair of us, how about you just come over then?"
This was music to Peter's ears, he had wanted some proper alone time with Carla for ages and even though spending time with her as "just friends" was sometimes frustrating it was still definitely worth it, He nodded casually
"Sure why not, I'd love to come round and play with you" he smirked at her his eyes wide, Carla shook her head at him, She was pretty used to his flirty banter by now and usually had an equally flirtatious comeback but sometimes she just couldn't help but grin like an idiot at hi, just like she was now.
"Well alright then" She poked him again "I should be home about five, so feel free to come over anytime after that." She said he nodded at her, throwing his cigarette butt down on the floor and stamping on it
"See ya then" he said with a grin.
Peter knocked on the door of Carla's flat apprehensively, whilst carrying two Nando's take away bags, He had been craving chicken since he had spoken about it with Carla earlier, so in the end he'd decided to go and get some especially since he knew Carla definitely wouldn't have been cooking for the both of them. He wanted to leave it as a surprise so he just ordered what Carla used to like and hoped that it would be okay. He hadn't been over to her new flat yet so he really wasn't sure what to expect. When the door opened, music came blaring out of it and Carla was also stood there although she looked rather unimpressed
"And what time do you call this? It's almost seven o clock" She had got changed out of her previous work outfit and was now wearing a little grey vest which stopped just below her belly button showing off a little bit of skin at the waist. She was also wearing a pair of little denim shorts. "You'll have to excuse the outfit I weren't too sure if you were still coming" She said as Peter looked her up and down,
"Oh that outfit definitely works for me" he said enthusiastically and walked past her, into her flat, she closed the door behind him. He was dressed in the same t-shirt and jeans as earlier. "I don't suppose you've got something cooking in the oven ave ya?" He asked grinning, Carla raised her eyebrows at him
"Not flippin likely" she said walking over to where her phone lay, next to some speakers, She turned the music down a notch and then turned back to face him
"I thought not" he said and then Carla realised what he was carrying in his hands and gasped
"Peter Barlow you are an angel"
"I've been called many things but an angel well that's a new one" Carla took the bags of food off of him as he gazed around her flat. "Nice fireplace" He said, It was huge and it sat in the middle of the room, It wasn't on because the weather was still considerably good and it was obviously how Carla was able to wonder around her flat in those tiny shorts without feeling the slightest bit cold.
"Oh that's right, I forgot you ain't been round yet" She said opening the steaming bags of food, she breathed in deeply taking in the smell of the spicy chicken "Uh I could kiss you" Peter grinned at her
"Feel free" he said hoping that Carla might actually go ahead and do it but instead she laughed and she got two plates out of a cupboard. Peter walked into her kitchen, still looking around him at his new surroundings.
"Seriously though, Peter you're amazing, I aven't eaten since breakfast and even then it was just a slice of toast" she looked at the two paper bags, where one was labelled hot and one was labelled plain…ish. Carla grinned and handed the plain one over to Peter "So I'm guessing your still can't handle spicy food then" She licked her lips as she emptied the hot chicken onto her plate.
"No... I just prefer my food to be how it should naturally taste that's all." Peter lied, Carla raised an eyebrow again and said
"You mean you like it bland then?" Peter gave a her look
"Y'know maybe I should take my Nando's to someone who won't make fun of me and to someone who will appreciate it, I mean you aven't even said thank you" he said smirking and starting to pack up the food, Carla laughed, leant forward and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Thank you Peter" she said sweetly and then she got out the rest of the food, Peter said she could have what she wanted, so she shared it all out between the two of them. "You want me to give you the tour before we eat?" Peter nodded with a mouthful of chips, "Or not" Carla chuckled shaking her head at him, "Well do it later, what do you want to drink?" she asked and Peter shrugged still putting chips into his mouth
"What have you got?" She walked over to her fridge to assess the non alcoholic options that she might have had, She opened her fridge and peered inside
"Erm... tropical juice or milk to be honest" Carla said
"Hmmm as tempting as the milk sounds" Peter started, Carla laughed and pulled out the carton of tropical juice, then she went into one of her cupboards
"Uh oh... I think all me drinking glasses are in the dish washer" she began, Peter watched her
"Really?" He asked with an eyebrow raised
"Well yeah... I think I've only got about three" She chuckled going through her cupboards "I'd forgotten to turn the dishwasher on before I left for work this morning, so I had to put it on when I got in" eventually she gave up looking for a glass and pulled out two wine glasses
"I'm afraid these will have to do" she said grinning at Peter's reaction "Unless you'd prefer to drink out of me Minnie Mouse mug?" she asked he shook his head and said
"A wine glass should be fine" Carla nodded and poured him a drink, After handing him the glass they both made their way to Carla's sofa and sat down to begin on their feast.
"Bringing that food round was the best idea you've ever had Peter" Carla said stretching her arms up in the air Peter watched as her vest rode up showing off her tummy which was still flat even though she'd eaten everything that was on her plate. They'd chatted whilst eating mostly about Simon and even though time seemed to have flown by upon looking at the clock Peter realised he'd already been at Carla's for almost an hour. She took their plates over to her kitchen and then brought the tropical juice over to the table in front of her sofa
"Do you want a top up?" She grinned waving the juice carton in the air,
"Hmm I'm not too sure, I'm supposed to be driving later" he joked
"Oh come on live dangerously Peter" Carla said amorously, joining in on the joke, Peter raised his wine glass up to her
"Go on then." he said smirking, Carla refilled their drinks
"So what do you think of me new flat then?" She asked him he nodded looking around him
"Well I dunno, I mean I've only seen this one room" he grinned at her "When can I see the bedroom?" He asked cheekily, Carla knew a comment like that was coming and grinned at Peter
"You'll see it... eventually" she said resting her elbow on her sofa with her head in her hand, Peter chuckled
"Fair enough" he nodded "I do like it though, it's very you, a lot more you than our old place eh?" he said remembering the huge flat she had given up to move into the tiny bookies flat, with him all those years ago. Carla sighed on the same wavelength, it felt like just yesterday but in actual fact it was years and years ago now.
"I knew it was the right place for me as soon as I saw it to be honest and I've got a balcony." she said trying to get off the subject of where they used to live, She pointed to the doors which led to her favourite thinking space
"You've always had a thing for balconies haven't you?" Peter said remembering when they were staying in the Caribbean once and she'd spent most of her time on the balcony of their room.
"Yeah tis not Tobago but it will do." She said on the same wavelength again. It was honestly as if they knew exactly what the other one was thinking.
Peter was becoming rather distracted by a song he could hear in the background. He listened carefully to it, it was one he'd never heard before but the singing voice was unmistakable
"Is this Lana Del Rey?" Peter asked as the song played in the background, Carla nodded at him
"What d'ya mean is this Lana Del Rey? You've heard this song before right?" She said assuming that Peter must have heard it but Peter shook his head, "You ave… it's from her second album" Carla insisted
"Yeah I aven't actually listened to her second album." Peter admitted and Carla was surprised to hear this as they'd always had a common interest in her music, in fact it was probably one of the only things that they agreed on when it came to music.
"Why not?" She asked wondering if he'd just gone off her, Peter shook his head, a little discouraged
"I just couldn't." He started looking down "l was in a bad place for those first few weeks after I left and all her music just seemed to do was remind me of you. So I never really got round to it" he explained, Carla nodded at him remembering just how much they had listened to Lana Del Rey especially when they'd first got together. She'd be lying if she said there weren't songs that she couldn't listen to anymore because of Peter but she thought it was such a shame that he'd missed out on one of their favourite artists. She looked down at her legs for a moment and then back up at Peter
"And… how are you feeling now?" She asked getting up off her sofa and delving into her cd collection, Peter leant forward and watched what she was doing
"Pretty good... Why?" Carla came back and handed him the album they had been talking about
"In that case you can borrow that then" Carla said
"Thanks" Peter said deciding he could probably deal with listening to it now he had Carla back in his life. She then bent down and picked up the games console she had won the night before
"You gonna help me set this thing up then or what?"
An hour and a half later and a lot of tropical juice later, Carla and Peter were finishing another round of races on Mario Kart. Carla was terrible at the game at first, even though Peter had put the computer players on the easiest level. She couldn't get used to holding the controller properly and kept driving off of the side of the tracks but with a lot of encouragement from Peter, she actually managed to come in a place other than last. Peter on the other hand had done miles better, coming first almost every time.
"You watch, I'm gonna keep practicing and one day I'll actually come first place" Carla said clicking off of the game and going back to the home screen of the game's console. Peter smirked at her
"Simon says if you hook it up to the internet you can play against people from all over the world" Carla raised an eyebrow at him doubtingly
"I don't think I'm quite at those standards yet but thanks for the advice" She was still holding the remote
"You know you can actually get little steering wheels to put those in, it might make it a bit easier for you, Si's got a couple at home" Peter said, Carla was messing around on the home screen and clicked on one of the little squares with the people in it "What you up to now?" He asked
"You know when we turned it on and It said I had to make that little character to be me, Well now I'm making one for you" Carla said amused, She'd spent a while going through all the different choices to make a little on screen version of Peter, She eventually said "Okay…I'm almost done" and Peter took a look at the screen
"Nothing like me" he joked
"Rubbish" Carla scoffed "He's the spitting image, I got your beard just right" She said reaching out and tickling his chin and then continuing with what she was doing, she read the instructions on the screen "Okay here we go, your favourite colour is blue obviously" she said selecting the blue option without even thinking twice.
"No it's not" Peter said, Carla stared at him
"Yes it is" She said and he shook his head at her
"It's not, not anymore, me favourite colour is orange now" Carla frowned
"Orange?" She exclaimed, She was sure he was lying, his favourite colour had always been blue, ever since she'd known him "Since when?" Peter grinned at her and then laughed "You're avin me on right?" she gave him a small shove and he nodded
"Yeah it's still blue" He said really relishing spending some alone time with Carla, She was always so much different when it was just the two of them, As if she could truly be herself around Peter and she didn't have to keep up with that feisty persona with him.
"Eh it says here, do I want to add you to me favourites?" She paused dramtically as if she was having a little think about it
"I think you should after I bought round you some chicken"
"Fair dues" Carla said and she clicked him into her favourites and smiled as the finished product joined the little version of herself on screen "Gotta say I'm getting quite into all this, I should probably get some more games though" Carla said proudly she put the remote down on to the table after switching off the console "Maybe I'll look in the shops tomorrow for one?"
"Check you out, you little game geek" Peter said, Carla had been sitting up straight whilst she had been playing the games but now she was done, she tucked her feet up, under her body and made her self comfortable next to Peter, he took another look around her flat and she watched him for a moment
"Eh Y'know that girl that Simon reckons he doesn't like, the one with all the dark hair" She began, Peter nodded
"You mean your mini me" he said remembering the photo Michelle had shown him of Carla when she was thirteen, Carla nodded
"Yeah, I saw her in town earlier with her Mum, anyways she came rushing over to me, to check that Simon was definitely coming out tonight and her Mum said all she goes on about is Simon"
"Really?" Peter asked impressed, He knew Simon liked this girl so he was pleased to hear she seemed to like him too.
"She were so cute about it, looked dead embarrassed when her Mum said that to me of course, so don't go telling Simon I told you"
"My lips are sealed" Peter pretended to zip up his lips and then looked serious again. "Don't you think it's crazy how quick this has all happened, Like Simon going to high school, having proper little grown up mates and liking girls. It feels like just yesterday he was running around playing with Lego and stuff" Carla smiled and nodded at Peter.
They sat in silence for a moment reminiscing about the past, Carla was so glad that Simon had warmed up to her so much and that her and Peter seemed to be going really well too. She would have been lying if she said she hadn't been a little nervous about the idea of Peter coming over without Simon because he was normally there to defuse the flirtatious nature between the both of them but the evening seemed to flow perfectly.
"Do you wanna see the view on my balcony?" Carla asked
"Not really" he said shaking his head as he had been enjoying sitting so close her on the sofa, It was almost as if they were a normal couple having a relaxing night in, Only it was all Peter could do not to lean over and kiss Carla wildly. She laughed and then got up off of the sofa
"Yes you do." She said pulling Peter up by his hands. "Come on" Peter started chuckling as Carla guided him out the door and proudly showed off her balcony, She had bought little wicker seat and had decorated it with little pillows and beaded throws she also added a tiny little table which had a vanilla candle on it.
"Wow!" he gasped sarcastically, "Look at that amazing view of The Rovers" Carla nodded at him with a smile as he stopped and leant on the balcony wall with his arms
"I know right" she said back in a similar sarcastic fashion, standing opposite him by the door "Seriously though when the sun sets, its actually quite nice out here, I sometimes come out here with me headphones and just escape from it all" Peter nodded along, thinking it must be quite nice for Carla to have her own little thinking space and she was right because as the sun was almost set on the cobbles, it did actually look like they could be somewhere exotic, rather than boring old Weatherfield. "It makes a good little spying spot as well" She joked
"Spend a lot of time up here spying do ya?' Peter asked intrigued, Carla shook her head at him and then he realised what was leaning against the wall behind Carla, it was the Leonardo DiCaprio cut out that she'd taken from the nineties birthday party that she was at with Michelle back in June, She laughed when she realised what Peter was looking at
"Yeah I had to bring poor Leo out here, as much as I love him, it's quite disturbing when you get up in the middle of the night for a wee and he's just standing there gawping at you" She said "Gonna have to bring him in if it starts raining though, I guess I should have thought bringing him home through eh" she joined Peter who was leaning on the wall of the balcony and looking out at the street. He then turned to her and watched her yawn tiredly
"Late night at this charity event was it?" he asked trying his very best not to sound jealous because he knew she was catching on.
"Not really, I mean I got in about one am but sometimes I'm still up watching me box sets at that time anyway."
"Are you gonna see that Marc again?" Peter asked looking at Carla intently
"Oh yeah definitely" She said enthusiastically, Peter frowned at her and she laughed "Peter I ave to see him because he's decided to make an order at the factory, It'll be for business purposes only. He's a bit of a bore and not really my type, if that's what you wanted to know" Peter shrugged carelessly as if he hadn't been up half the night worrying that her and Marc might have hit it off.
"I was just concerned because I didn't want him keeping you waiting around and stuff" Peter said unconvincingly
"Mhhmmm, course you were darlin" Carla said and she was stood very close to him now, she yawned again and rested her head on Peter's shoulder "It's been a long week" she sighed closing her eyes. "I think I'm still jet lagged y'know.
"Really? Car it's been five days" Peter said almost laughing Carla then yawned for the third time and nodded
"I'm probably gonna get an early night" She said, Peter turned his body towards hers and he almost went to put his arm around her but then Carla felt something against the side of her leg that made her jump, She looked down at Peter's jeans where it was coming from with her eyes wide, He pulled out his vibrating phone with a grin and said
"Calm down it's just a text message" Carla laughed sheepishly to herself and said
"I knew that" as Peter read what was on screen
"It's Leanne, She was supposed to pick Simon up but she's had to go into the bistro" Peter said and started replying to Leanne, Carla stared ahead at the sky, it was pretty much dark at this point and as the moon shone down on them both, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that Peter was probably about to leave "I better go" Peter sighed, Carla turned to him
"Ahh that's a shame" she gazed at him mesmerizingly and then said "I was gonna let you see my bedroom" her voice was so sultry that it made Peter feel weak. Carla then walked back inside and left Peter out on the balcony alone. He quickly stumbled back in after her, wondering if she was just teasing him or if she was being serious.
"Well I don't have to leave right this second." Peter said hoping his voice sounded casual and that the desperation he had to get closer to Carla wasn't deeply obvious, She closed the balcony door behind them and looked at him irresistibly
"You can't leave poor Simon waiting" She shook her head slowly but she was smiling infectiously
"Trust me, If he's with that Santana girl then I'm sure he won't mind me being a few minutes late" Peter said deeply
"A few minutes?" Carla raised an eyebrow at him, amused but then she took a deep breath as Peter got closer to her, so that he was almost touching her "Come on then." She practically whispered as he moved in even more, She looked down and took one of Peter's hands. They both gasped at each other's touch.
The atmosphere was electric and Carla slowly began leading him towards her bedroom when there was a sudden knock on her front door.
They both jumped "I didn't let anyone in" Carla said puzzled, She dropped Peter's hand and made her way to her front door, Peter cursed who ever was on the other side of the door for interrupting such a magical moment with Carla. "Who is it?" She asked rather suspicious that someone could be knocking on her front door without being let in her building, a familiar voice then called out
"It's Michelle" Carla sighed almost smiling at Michelle's timing, She wasn't sure what exactly might have happened if her and Peter had made it to her bedroom uninterrupted but she thought it was probably for the best that Michelle had arrived when she did.
"Maybe next time eh?" Peter said softly, Carla nodded at him intently, She opened her front door, and Michelle was stood on her doorstep with a bottle of wine.
"Hiya, Nick let me in" she started and then she saw Peter. "Oh Hi Peter" She said and she looked over at the empty plates in the kitchen and at the glasses on the table. "Am I… interrupting something?" She asked now looking at Carla in her little vest and denim shorts, Peter shook his head at her
"Nope I was just helping Carla set up her new Wii" he said pointing down at the box which lay on the floor, Carla nodded
"I won it last night." She said because she knew that Michelle would be wondering where she'd got it from, Michelle walked into Carla's flat warily
"Oh right" She said, She could see the disappointment on Peter and Carla's face as they stood in front of her. She knew that she had definitely interrupted something.
"I better be off then." Peter said,
"You don't have to go Peter" Michelle said sure that he was making an excuse to leave Carla's flat.
"Oh I do, I've got to go and get Simon" He said as he walked over to the door.
"He does" Carla added quickly although the way she had added that, made Michelle more convinced that she had ruined some sort of secret night in.
"Tell him I said hi" Carla said to Peter, He nodded half-heartedly and said goodbye to the both of them before leaving Carla's flat and closing the door behind him.
Michelle watched Carla sigh slightly and said
"I feel dead guilty" Carla's eyebrows narrowed
"What you on about?" She said and she went into her kitchen and got some more wine glasses out of her cupboard
"I interrupted something didn't I?" Carla shook her head at her
"No ya didn't Chelle, Honestly he were just here playing Mario Kart"
Michelle didn't believe her friend for one minute but she decided she'd let the wine do it's thing and then ask Carla again later on.
