Peter took a deep breath as he moved towards Carla, she was still gazing up at the fireworks and it seemed as if she was definitely unaware of what he was about to do. Peter wasn't sure how to go about kissing Carla and he found this odd because he'd kissed her thousands of times before.
He hesitated...
He hesitated for too long because Carmen, who was still in her Mum's arms at the time, waved her wand so wildly at the firework finale, that it went flying off into the darkness.
"Oh no!" Carmen cried loudly, making Carla and Peter both jump. "My wand!" she said almost in tears.
"Don't worry we'll find it" Carla said and she ran off into the darkness to look. Peter sighed heavily, hating himself for wasting such precious time. Carla soon found the wand, it was flashing away on the floor just a little further up from where they were stood. She picked it up and gave it back to Carmen.
"There you go." Carla said smiling.
"Say thank you Carmen." Juliana said and Carmen said thank you to Carla as an announcer said that they hoped everyone enjoyed the firework display and that people were welcome to stay for the bonfire, to go on more of the rides, to eat some food and to have a few drinks.
"That was great wasn't it" Amy said, Tracy nodded in agreement, she was also actually impressed at the show that had been put on. Simon and Santana, who were both acting sheepish came and stood next to their parents again.
"Can we go on some more rides now Dad?" Simon asked, Peter couldn't help but smirk at Simon but he didn't say anything about the kiss he had just seen.
"Sure, What do you wanna go on?" Peter asked as Carla began talking to Juliana about something.
They all ended up separating for a while Amy, Simon, Santana, Peter and a reluctant Tracy went off to go on some more of the rides, leaving Carla with Juliana and Carmen. They were sat down on a picnic bench and whilst Carmen munched her way through some candy floss, Carla and Juliana took some time to get to know each other over a cup of mulled wine.
"Mulled wine? It's only November, what are they thinking?" Carla said taking a sip.
"Well y'know what it's like as soon as Halloween's over its all about Christmas" Juliana said smiling at Carla in such a friendly fashion that Carla already felt as if she was talking to an old friend. "So… how long have you and Peter actually been together then?" Juliana asked
"Well... I liked him for ages and we finally got together about three years ago but…we've actually been separated since last year." Carla said a little awkwardly.
"Oh I'm sorry..." Juliana said apologetically "I have to say you wouldn't think it, I mean you both seem like you really get long quite well, what happened?" Carla hesitated for a moment, not feeling so confident anymore. It wasn't because she didn't want to talk to Juliana about Peter but it was more the fact that she really wasn't used to talking about where things had gone so wrong with him. She barley even spoke about that side of things with Michelle, let alone anyone else.
"Erm…" Carla began but Juliana then shook her head.
"Look at me being so nosy, you can tell me to shut up if you want." She said,
"No it's fine…" Carla said but she still didn't want to know what to say, She obviously wasn't about to start talking about Tina but she also couldn't really say they she and Peter just didn't get along because as Juliana had just pointed out, they got along like a house on fire. "I guess things just didn't work out." Carla said vaguely, Juliana nodded understandingly, as if she knew exactly what Carla was getting at.
"Santana tells me that Peter's was away for a while for some of this year and how happy Simon is that he's back up here now." Juliana said she looked down at Carmen who was still occupied by her candy floss and her magic wand.
"Yeah… he went to live in Portsmouth for a bit, God knows why." Carla joked, taking another sip of wine. Even though this was still an awkward situation she still felt slightly at ease when she spoke to Juliana.
"Santana also said that… Peter's had a few problems with alcohol in the past." Juliana said delicately. Carla was stunned that Simon had obviously told Santana about Peter's issues, she had no idea that he had ever told anyone. "I'm sorry..." Juliana said again, guessing that Carla was surprised that she would even mention such a thing to her. "It's just that Carmen and Santana's Dad, he has a lot of issues with alcohol as well."
"Really?" Carla asked looking at Carmen who was still chomping through a bag of candy floss.
"Yes, We aren't together any more, we haven't been for a few years now, I tried to stick by him I really did but in the end it just got too much y'know." Juliana said sadly.
"I sure do." Carla nodded because she knew exactly what it was like to deal with an alcoholic husband.
"Anyways, I think that's probably why Santana and Simon get along so well, they both know what it's like." Juliana said with a smile on her face now as she spoke about the smitten twelve year olds.
"Do you still see their Dad?" Carla asked, because she was intrigued to find out more about this lovely little family that Simon had introduced them all too.
"The girls still see him every weekend but I literally just drop em off at the door n leave. It's a nightmare, we actually can't stand to be in the same room as each other for longer than a few minutes." Juliana said
"Wow…" Carla said trying to imagine how hard it must be to have to live that way.
"That's why I think it's so great that you and Peter get along so well y'know. It seems as if Simon is really fond of you too, It's almost like the perfect situation, You and Peter can just have fun together without worrying about your relationship ruining it." Juliana said as Carmen flung the empty bag of Candy floss at her.
"Yeah well it all took a while, I mean me and Si never really hit it off back when Peter and me first started out but now... I couldn't imagine not seeing him all the time." Carla said wondering what it would be like if she couldn't see Simon as often as she did. She couldn't imagine her life without Peter either, He'd been back in her life for six months now and it was as if he'd never left.
The idea of not having Peter and Simon around was something that Carla hadn't really paid any mind to before, she just assumed that every thing would stay as perfect as it was now but as Simon, Santana, Amy, Tracy and Peter came running over to the table, fresh off of the vortex ride, Carla thoughts were consumed by the idea that one day Peter and Simon might not always be a part of her life.
Santana who was carrying a hot dog, handed it to her Mum and smiled,
"I bought you this, cause you didn't eat earlier, Thanks for bringing us here tonight." she said giving her mum a quick hug.
"Thanks babe." Juliana said smiling at her daughter, Simon and Amy were also eating hot dogs and Tracy had a box of chips that she was making her way through.
"That ride was insane." Peter said enthusiastically, although he was a little red in the face as he said it.
"We're going to get on it again, Carla you have to come n ave a go this time." Simon said breathing out heavily and taking a break from eating his hot dog. Carla looked over at the ride that swung up high into the dark sky and then back down again whilst spinning.
"Hmmmm I think I'll be giving that death trap a miss." Carla grinned, as she finished her cup of wine.
"Can I go on a ride Mum?" Carmen asked, craning her neck and looking around at the smaller rides that were available for kids her age.
"I don't know Carmen, Maybe in a little bit…" Juliana said as she hadn't finished her wine or the hot dog that Santana had brought her.
"Oh please Mum, Tana went on the rides!" Carmen wailed
"We'll take Carmen if you want?" Peter said because he'd noticed how tired Juliana had looked. "Won't we Carla?" he said nudging Carla as he said it,
"Course we will, if that's okay with you Juliana." Carla said Juliana nodded,
"Do you want to go with Peter and Carla for a little while Carmen?" She asked, Carmen's eyes lit up at the idea and she said
"Yes!" as she jumped up off of the bench.
"Nothing too fast or she'll probably be sick after all that Candy floss" Juliana said to Carla and Peter.
"Come on then!" Carmen cried excitedly, she was holding both hands up in the air, as if she was waiting for Carla and Peter to grab on to them. "Be good." Juliana said waving as Carla and Peter walked off with Carmen in between them.
First of all thet took her over to a little train ride, that went around in a circle at a very slow pace.
"How about this Carmen?" Peter said, Carmen looked at the train and inspected if for a while and then shook her head,
"No that's a boring ride, I wanna go on something like that." Carmen said pointing over to a ride that swung people upside down three times before spinning around.
"Erm… I don't think you're tall enough for that one little lady." Carla grinned "But don't worry neither is little Peter." Carmen giggled and looked up at Peter, he shook his head at Carla and said,
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise that you also went by the name of the BFG." Peter said, because the only reason Carla was standing only slightly taller then him was because of the boots she had on.
"What's a BFG?" Carmen asked with her face screwed up as she tried to figure out just what Peter had been referring to.
"It's a Big... Friendly...Giant!" Peter growled and he bent down and started tickling Carmen, She giggled and squealed as Peter picked her up off of the ground "Quick lets run away from the BFG!"he cried and he ran off with Carmen as if Carla really was chasing them. She felt her heart ache at the sight of Peter and Carmen bonding so well and quickly followed them over to a carousel, where Carmen had made Peter stop.
"Yes, yes this one!" She cried, "Come on, come on! lets all get on it together." Carla and Peter both seemed pleased that Carmen had chosen a rather tame ride for them all to get on. Carla paid the man in charge, as Carmen went and chose a carriage to sit in.
"Come and sit with me Peter!" Carmen insisted, "I'm the princess of this ride and you can be my prince." She said as Peter sat down next to her. Carla climbed up onto the horse, which was placed next to them, Peter raised an eyebrow at her as she clung on the pole that the horse was mounted onto.
"D'ya have something to say Peter?" Carla said smirking at him,
"Not at all." Peter said smiling as the carousel started up. It went round and round rather slowly but fast enough for Carmen to have a good time. Peter got his phone out and said "Say cheese Carla" She poked her tongue out instead, as he took the picture of her. After the ride was over and they had all got off, Peter still had his phone in hand.
"How do I upload this thing to Internet?" He said laughing at the Photo of Carla that was on the screen
"Oh no, don't you dare!" Carla cried grabbing his phone off of him,
"Oi give me that back!" Peter laughed, reaching out to grab his phone back from Carla. Carmen who wasn't old enough to understand Carla and Peter's flirtatious banter, looked worried as Carla and Peter fought playfully over his phone. Carla saw the look on Carmen's face and quickly handed Peter his phone back with a giggle.
"Are ya fighting?" Carmen asked her bottom lip poking out slightly,
"Of course not." Carla said shaking her head and smiling reassuringly at Carmen.
"Why did ya take his phone?" Carmen asked reaching out and taking Peter's hand,
"Because she's a naughty girl that's why" Peter said smirking at Carla.
"Oh you don't believe that do ya Carmen?" Carla said, Carmen shook her head at Carla.
"Y'know what Carmen, Carla was jealous because you called me your prince and she said that I'm only allowed to be her prince." Peter grinned as they all started walking again.
"Really?" Carmen gasped watching Carla again.
"It's alright Carmen, I guess I don't mind if I ave to share Peter with you." Carla said as Carmen reached over and took her hand too.
"I know!" Carmen said, her eyes bright as if she had just had a light bulb moment. "Peter can be my prince in the day time and you can have him at night times because that's when I go to bed." Carmen said ever so innocently, she was far to young to notice the suggestive looks that Peter and Carla were giving each other thanks to her comment. They were so enchanted by each others gaze that they had almost walked into the man who was in charge of the teacup ride.
"Oh god sorry." Carla said and then she smiled down at Carmen "Hey what about a go on these Carmen?"
"Yes please!" Carmen jumped for joy but Peter didn't look sure about the teacups and said.
"I'm not sure, this looks kinda fast..." Peter looked at them apprehensively, thinking about what Carmen's Mum had said about the amount of candy floss Carmen had eaten over the course of the evening.
"Oh she'll be fine, won't ya?" Carla scoffed, ignoring him and paying the man who was in charge..
"I'm really brave, don't worry bout me, I'll be kay, I promise." Carmen insisted, looking determinedly up at Peter, as if he thought the ride might have been too scary for her.
"I dunno…" Peter said as they got to the front of the teacup queue.
"Trust me mate, your little girl will love it." The man said smiling at Peter and Carla, obviously thinking that they were all a little family. Peter still wasn't sure about the idea but Carmen and Carla both gave him an angelic smile and Carmen's smile was even completed with an adorable hand gesture and a
"Pleeeeeeeease." Peter had no choice but to give in and let them both get on the teacups together. He watched as they got locked into their cup and the ride got started. Carmen giggled as she spun around in the teacups with Carla, "Faster faster!" She cried as Carla spun the wheel in middle of the ride to make it go even quicker, it was almost as if Carmen trying to show Peter that she was an extremely brave girl for getting on such a ride.
They soon found out that the teacups were definitely not a good idea, because as soon as Carmen got off, she frowned and then threw up, luckily it went on the floor and not onto any of her clothes. Carla looked panicked as Peter rubbed Carmen's back gingerly. She quickly ran off to the nearest stall and grabbed some water.
"Is she alright?" Carla asked as she came back, She was still slightly concerned as Carmen eventually stood up straight and coughed a little.
"She's fine... I told you two those teacups weren't a good idea didn't I?" Peter said to Carmen as he handed her the water that Carla had bought her. Carmen took a little sip and gave Peter half a smile then she looked at Carla.
"It's kay Carla, I just had too many candyflosses thats all." Carmen said sweetly, she then took another drink of water. Peter smiled at her fondly and then looked up at Carla who said,
"I should have listened to you, I'm so stupid." She was still feeling so bad that Carmen had actually ended up being sick.
"Car, it's okay you didn't know that this would happen, did ya?" Peter said
"Yeah but her Mum said not to let her get on something fast because she would be sick and what did I go and do?" Carla said sighing, as if her mood had completely changed, she was now frowning and feeling like she was a complete failure.
"Carla, it's cool. Kids are sick all the time." Peter said standing up and looking at her, She just sighed and tucked some hair behind her ear. Peter could tell she was upset about something but Carmen then took his hand.
"Can we go on another ride? I won't be sick I promise."
"Maybe not eh?" Peter said,
"Ohhhh please!" Carmen begged "Pinky promise?" She said making Peter chuckle,
"Oh that cute little smile is not going to work this time Princess." He said but he took her over to one of the games, where he ended up winning Carmen a lilac unicorn teddy instead. Carmen felt more than satisfied and clutched her new toy as they walked back towards the picnic benches. Peter watched Carla who had been unusually quiet since they had left the teacups. When they eventually got back to the benches were everyone else was sat. Carmen ran straight over to her Mum and said
"Mum! Look what Peter won for me! It's a unicorn." She went and sat right on her Mums lap then she added, "Hey guess what, I was sick right on the floor you know but Carla and Peter made me feel better and gave me a big drink of water."
"Oh dear… I told you all that Candy floss wasn't a good idea, didn't I?" Said Juliana, she looked at Carla and Peter apologetically "I'm really sorry, I hope she didn't get any on you."
"No I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken her on the teacups." Carla said
"Oh don't even worry about it, I bet Carmen gave you her best puppy dog smile, She manages to wrap everyone around her little finger, even me." Juliana said hugging her little girl and giving her a little tickle. Carmen screeched with laughter and clung onto her Mum tightly. Carla had to take a look away from them both, before she ended up bursting right into tears. Peter saw all of this and desperately wanted to take Carla somewhere private so he could speak to her, but then as Carmen snuggled closely into her Mum she said,
"I'm tired Mummy." Juliana looked down at her watch, it was just gone half past nine at night.
"I reckon we should probably get going in a minute Santana, it's quite late for your sister to be out." Juliana said looking at Carmen as she yawned, Santana nodded at her Mum and then looked at Simon who was sitting opposite her.
"We're still okay for Sunday yeah?" Santana said a little quietly so that only he could hear.
"Yeah." Simon said giving her a quick smile. She got up from the table and they all said their goodbyes to each other. Simon and Santana hugged as Carla slumped onto the bench miserably and Peter sat down opposite her, He watched as she rested her chin in her hand.
"Carla..." he said, Tracy watched them both and then got up off the bench she looked at Simon, who smirked and nodded.
"Right how about I go and get the car and then you guys can meet me outside?" Tracy suggested. Peter assumed Tracy's suggestion was because the car was parked a few roads away and it would save them all walking far but little did he know that Tracy, Amy and Simon had their own agenda.
"Okay…" Peter said Amy got up off of the bench and said a rather suspicious sounding,
"Oh... I'll come with you Mum."
"I'll go too, it's well cold." Simon said, leaving Carla and Peter sat alone on the picnic bench, neither of them realised what was going on and just nodded as Tracy walked off with Simon and Amy.
"What's wrong?" Peter asked although he thought he thought he had an idea.
"I just feel so bad that Carmen was sick that's all, I mean her mother had the sense not to let her get on the rides and there I was, not thinking responsibly enough." Carla said sighing, she looked miserably down at her hands but Peter lifted her head back up, with two fingers propped under her chin.
"Listen to me... That was not your fault, I was there and I let her get on the teacups just like you did." Peter said softly, Carla went to speak but he shook his head "Carla, come on love, you are one of the most responsible people I know, Look how much you've been there for Simon and anyways you were absolutely great with Carmen, It was a real pleasure seeing you like that y'know…" Peter then trailed off feeling a little disheartened.
"That guy... the one who ran the teacups... he thought she was ours." Carla said sniffing "I guess for that little moment, I could pretend… as if she was ours and that we were this perfect little family." Carla said but she was now looking at Peter worriedly "Is that really weird?" she asked.
"Not at all." Peter said smiling at her admiringly "She's a beautiful little thing, she totally could have been your kid." Carla felt her cheeks get hot at Peter's compliment, even though he was always saying wonderful things to her and even though it was so cold out. She looked down at her hands quietly and sighed again. "Carla… what is it?" Peter asked because he could tell something was still bothering her.
"I've just been thinking about something Juliana said earlier, She were saying how great she thinks it is that we get along so well." Carla said taking a deep breath, she hadn't planned on mentioning any of this to Peter but she felt like she just needed it off of her chest. "It just got me thinking about not having you and Simon around n it scared the life out of me to be honest."
"Well trust me you don't have to worry about that." Peter said smiling "I don't think me or Simon could keep ourselves away from you even if we tried." He said but this wasn't enough for Carla.
"Peter… Promise me… promise me that no matter what happens in the future, that I'll never lose you or your slightly mad family again."
"I promise." Peter said taking one of Carla's hands and staring faithfully staring into her eyes. She truly felt as if Peter was being completely and utterly honest with her and gave him a soft smile.
"Okay." She said quietly.
"Shall... we go and find the others then?" Peter suggested.
"Sure." Carla nodded and they got up to make their way out of the cricket club.
They had been waiting outside for almost fifteen minutes before Peter'd had enough, He called Tracy and she didn't answer her phone, Peter assumed it was because she was driving and so he'd eventually got through to Simon instead.
"Simon where are you lot?" Peter asked, as Carla stuffed her hands in her coat pockets.
"Almost home Dad." Simon answered, sounding rather pleased about it as well.
"What?" Peter said a little confused "Why didn't you wait for me and Carla?"
"It were Aunt Tracy's idea not mine." Simon said down the phone,
"Is this some sort of joke?" Peter said gritting his teeth, Carla had been watching the whole thing and began to get concerned when Peter tutted irritatedly again.
"She said all the roads were turned into a one way system, so she couldn't come back the same way we came even if she wanted to. She also said that you and Carla would probably enjoy some alone time together anyway and I agree." Simon said sounding very smug down the other end of Peter's phone.
"Tell Tracy I'm gonna kill her when I get home." Peter said and he hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Carla asked,
"Basically Tracy's gone home without us." Peter said.
"The little cow, what's she done that for?" Carla said peeved because it was now so cold, that they could see their breaths as they spoke.
"She reckons we could do with some alone time." Peter said because there was no point in making something up.
They both began walking for a minute until they got to a bus stop. Peter peered at the map and saw that a bus that would stop right near the street was coming in a few minutes.
"We can get the bus back..." He suggested although he knew exactly what Carla would say to this idea.
"Sorry no, don't do buses." She said just as Peter had predicted.
"Oh come on, the bus we need is on its way in a minute or so, it wont take too long and it beats waiting around for a cab." Peter said but Carla still shook her head and frowned as he sat down on the seats at the bus stop anyway.
"Peter, I hate the bus, y'know that." she groaned as Peter grinned at her from his seat.
"Oh come on don't be such a diva Carla, It'll be fun to ride alongside the commoners for a night." He said and he pulled her towards him by her scarf, She laughed and let her self be pulled right up against him. She was literally centimetres away from him and Peter wondered if now was a good enough time to kiss her, although he wasn't sure if a bus stop was the best place to do it.
Carla smiled as she leant her head forward, right onto Peter's shoulder and rested it there. He wondered if she knew what he had been thinking and had put her head there to maybe avoid his kiss, but as Carla sighed ever so peacefully as she leaned against him and wrapped her arms around him, he soon realised he was probably reading too much into it. They both stayed silent in each other's arms until they heard the bus coming up the road.
"Ohhh such fun times ahead..." Carla said dryly, as the bus stopped in front of them. Carla got on it first and when the bus driver looked at her to pay her fare, she turned to Peter, because she'd spent all her cash at the cricket club. "I hope you've got some change on ya." She said hoping that he didn't and that they would have to get off. Peter fumbled into his pocket and managed to get together enough change for both of them to ride the bus.
"Yeah nice try." He grinned as he took their ticket from the driver. The bus was rather empty apart from the group of middle-aged men who were sat at the front of the bus, they were rather drunk and they were all dramatically singing Wonderwall by Oasis. Carla sighed and looked back at Peter.
"You see this is why I hate the bus." She said but Peter just rolled his eyes and gave her a little nudge forward.
"Just find us a seat." He said chuckling. Carla continued to make her way down to the very back of the bus and sat in the seat next to the window. "Look at you picking the back seat, what ave you got in mind eh?" Peter joked as he sat down next to Carla.
"In your dreams Barlow, first you made me hang out on a muddy cricket pitch all night long and now you make me get on a bus… Oh you're getting nothing from me tonight my friend." She teased poking him playfully in the side.
"Oh well if that's the case then lets get off this bus right now and I'll get a limo to take us home." Peter joked and he pretended like he was going to get up and get off of the bus.
"Sit down you idiot." Carla said amused, pulling him back into the seat next her. "So come on then, when d'ya start this new job then?" She asked, as they had got distracted earlier when he'd first told her about his new job.
"Monday actually, I gotta admit I've been living the life of luxury for so long, it's a little daunting starting something new. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous." Peter said as the group of men who were drunkenly singing, got louder and were now singing at the top of their lungs. Carla rolled her eyes at them and then looked back at Peter.
"You'll be fine, I'm sure of it… I reckon we should probably go out and celebrate your new job properly, How about on Friday?" Carla suggested.
"I don't think we can, I think Simon and Amy have a birthday party that night." Peter said, assuming that Carla was talking about going out with the family, She raised an eyebrow and looked at him alluringly.
"Who invited them?" She said with a sly smirk.
"Oh well in that case, lets do it." Peter said finding the look on her face very pleasing. The singing got much louder and much rowdier as the bus made it's way down the dark streets of Wetherfield but eventually, as the men got off the bus one by one, it died down and the bus became rather quiet again. Carla grinned thinking about Simon and Santana and their little kiss.
"D'ya reckon Simon and Santana will finally be a little couple now?" She asked still finding the whole thing incredibly cute. She was happy that at least one of the Barlow men had finally decided to make a move on the women in their life.
"I dunno, I bet he still insists that they are just friends when I ask him." Peter said
"Oh you're not gonna tell him we saw it are ya? Talk about embarrassing the poor boy." Carla said because she could imagine Peter taking great joy in telling Simon what they had seen.
"Hey I let him go the whole night without embarrassing him once." Peter said but he was joking. Carla laughed at him for about the a hundredth time that night and then said,
"I really glad you asked me to come with you all… It's been a fab night."
"I'm glad you came too…" Peter said softly "Although I'll be honest, I can't actually believe that our Simon was the one who got lucky tonight."
"Well ya never know the nights not over yet." Carla said and she winked at Peter flirtatiously "Maybe you'll get lucky too." She said as the bus turned onto Rosamund Street, which was where they needed to get off.
"Oh you are such a little tease Carla." Peter said as he got up so they could get off of the bus. He was smiling but the idea of making it back to his place without even a little kiss was beginning to become unbearable.
"You gonna walk me home then?" Carla asked coyly with her head on one side, She knew exactly what she was doing to Peter and she was enjoying every moment of it.
"Don't I always?" Peter said and they began walking the short walk to Carla's flat, although Peter was almost walking behind her, trying to figure out how to remain calm, when all he wanted to do was grab Carla and kiss her.
"There we are, home sweet home eh?" Peter said awkwardly as they got outside her building. He wasn't about to just kiss Carla there and then on the street, he had been building this moment up to be really romantic and private, so he knew that if he wanted it to be that way then he had to let her go home without a goodnight kiss.
Again.
Carla shook her head fondly at him and said,
"Oh for cryin out loud." but before Peter could say anything in return she had whipped his cap off his head, pulled him towards her and kissed him.
It was a slow, soft and tender kiss, the incredible warmth of their lips made them both get goosebumps, as it was so cold outside. The kiss only lasted a few seconds and when Carla pulled away from Peter she grinned at him and whispered, "There ya go… now Simon's not the only one who got lucky tonight."
"Thanks." Peter said trying to get his breath back, when he did he pulled Carla back in, she giggled shaking her head at him and then she put her finger up to his lips to stop them from touching hers again. "Now now Peter, I was only giving you what Simon got." She said but he just hungrily kissed her finger instead, the heat from his tongue made Carla shiver with excitement. "Peter!" She cried "Y'know you should really take a leaf out of your son's book when it comes to being a gentleman." Carla said and she quickly moved her finger away from his mouth before he could do anymore damage.
"You do know, I've been trying to kiss you all damn night don't you?" Peter breathed, Carla laughed and nodded at him.
"I sure do... At first it were fun but then it got excruciating n I just had to take matters into me own hands." Carla said as Peter lingered in front of her impatiently. Carla loved the effect she was having on him and let him wait just a but longer before pulling him back for another kiss. This one was rougher, and a lot dirtier than the first, her tongue slid into his mouth just a tiny little bit and then she pulled away from him again, before he'd even had time to respond to her touch.
"What are you doing to me woman?" Peter asked desperately.
"As I said… I'm just trying to make you not feel so left out... but I'll tell you what Barlow, If ya play your cards right then… you might get another one of those bad boys very soon." Carla said and she placed Peter's hat back onto his head, he laughed silently at her, as he hadn't even realised she had took it off. "I thought it might have got in the way." She said smiling.
"I think you better go inside before I take it off again." Peter said huskily, still with his arm around Carla's waist.
"Well I would only..." She looked down at the way Peter still had hold of her and he eventually and reluctantly her let her go. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Peter replied as Carla started walked towards the door of her building. She really didn't want to leave things there but she also didn't want to rush anything. She knew there was a lot to talk about so for now she waved at him fondly.
"Goodnight Peter." She called before happily disappearing in to Victoria Court. Peter took one huge, satisfied sigh of relief as he crossed the road. He was so ecstatic that he had forgotten, that only half an hour or so he had told Simon he would kill Tracy, now all he wanted to do was go inside and tell everyone that he had finally got his kiss.
