This chapter isn't as long as the others but I hope you still like it, it's abit different to the others because it keeps changing settings.
Once they had got on the plane Carla started to get excited,she was going to be in sunny Spain for two weeks! Peter was even more excited than Carla was, like a kid in a sweet shop.
"Are you excited yet?" He asked her.
"Yeah,but I'm really tired. And I can't get comfy" she said shifting in her seat.
"Come here then..." He said as he festered for her to snuggle up to him. Carla hesitated before deciding to cuddle up to Peter. 'It doesn't mean anything, we're just friends' she thought to herself.
A while had past and Carla had woken up from her sleep but was still in peters embrace, she was comfy.
"This is nice, just like the good old days" Peter admitted to Carla. Carla shifted and moved back over to her side of the seat. She wasn't sure if she'd gave him the wrong signals but getting back with Peter was the last thing she wanted. She wanted Nick, she just needed to give him some space.
"I didn't mean that to sound creepy, I meant the good old days when we were friends. Best friends. I'd like to get back to that" Peter said.
"We will never get the friendship we had back Peter,but we can build a new one. I'd love to be friends again" Carla smiled at him. Peter smiled back but deep down he knew he'd always want more.
…...
"Hiya Chelle" Nick said walking into the pub. His voice had a sad and fed up tone to it as he slumped himself on a bar stool.
"Hey babe,you alright?" Michelle asked, which she knew was a stupid question as he clearly wasn't.
"I just miss her,I know what she did was awful but I still really love her Michelle. Have you heard from her?" Nick asked.
"No sorry darling" Michelle said shaking her head "I've not heard from her, I think she's still mad at me for what I did" Michelle added.
"It wasn't your fault! She the one who cheated on me Michelle!" Nick exclaimed.
"Nick look... I'm not trying to defend what she did but she never meant to do it, she was in a bad place and she was drunk and I know she loves you so much. She's told me herself, she's never loved anyone as much as she loves you." She explained.
"I know, I want to forgive her but I can't stop picturing them together, him and her, it makes me feel sick" he said looking down.
"Maybe... In time things will be different?" Michelle suggested. "Why don't you go to Spain and surprise her,let her know you still care about her and love her" she added.
"erm, I don't now" Nick said debating wether to go or not.
"Go on Nick.. If you both love eachother then what are you waiting for? I know you can forgive her" Michelle said trying to persuade Nick to go.
"Okay! I'm going to do it, I'm going to surprise her in Spain. She deserves a second chance and I love her" Nick said chirping up abit.
"Don't you need to book a ticket?" Michelle questioned laughing.
"Nah, I'll just buy one at the desk, it'll be more expensive but I don't care she's worth it" he said running out of the door to pack his suitcase.
...
Else where Carla and Peter had just arrived at the hotel.
"Here let me carry that for you" Peter offered lugging his own case and trying to get hold of Carla's.
"No, okay macho-man. I think I've got it" she said laughing and pushing Peter. He pushed her back so hard she nearly fell over but Peter caught her in his arms before she did. There was a brief moment between them where their eyes caught a glimpse of each other and they just stood there staring.
"Nice catch" she said smoothing down her jeans and continued to walk forward, trying to avoid the awkward moment.
"Thanks" Peter replied catching up with Carla who was speeding ahead to the hotel entrance.
"This must be it" Carla stated.
"Fontana" Peter said reading the name aloud.
"Yep, that's the one. Come on let's check in" she said looking down at her phone.
"Hola my name is Aimee, how may I help you?" The reception lady asked.
"Hola, I'm looking for a reservation under the name Tilsley?" Carla told the her.
"Ah yes, we've got you booked in the bridal suite. Is that correct?" Aimee asked her.
"It was but we phoned ahead to change it to a twin room" Carla explained.
"I'm so sorry, we don't have any twin rooms left I'm afraid" Aimee explained.
"What do you mean! We called and changed it!" Carla said starting to shout.
"Hey, it's not her fault car, it's okay I'll just sleep on the floor or sofa? It'll be fine" Peter suggested to Carla.
"Okay fine,sorry Aimee" Carla said apologising to the receptionist.
"Okay, your room is 201 on the third floor, Catrin and Alex will take up your bags for you and the customer lift is down the hall to your right" she explained.
"Thanks" Peter said chasing down the hall after Carla.
...
It was later that night and Carla and Peter were settling down for bed. Carla was laid down in a huge queen sized bed and was silently crying herself to sleep. She missed Nick so much.
"Carla... Are you crying?" Peter questioned.
"No" Carla just managed to get out.
"Oh, Carla come here" Peter said pulling her into a hug as she cried into him.
"I really miss him Peter, I'm such a stupid cow" she said crying slightly harder.
"No your not,Nick will come round i promise. He'd be an idiot if he never forgave you." Peter told her as she tried to stop herself from crying.
"Thanks Peter, you've been great today" Carla said now smiling.
"Hey, what are friends for?" He said smiling back and stood up to go back to the little bed he'd made on the floor.
"Where are you going?" Carla asked him.
"to bed?" He replied not sure what she meant.
"You can't sleep on the floor for two weeks Peter, you can sleep in her with me" Carla offered.
"Really?!" Peter said getting a little too excited.
"Yeah really, you can keep me company, no funny business though or you'll be kicked straight back out mister!" She said half laughing, half serious as she laid back down and closed her eyes.
"Night Carla" Peter whispered.
"Night" Carla uttered half asleep.
...
"Hi, my name is Nick Tilsley, my wife checked in earlier. Room 201?" Nick told the receptionist who had changed and was now called Louise.
"Yes, it says here she checked in around 5 hours ago" Louise told him. "I'll just need some proof of identification and then I'll get you your key." She added as Nick handed her his passport.
"Here you go,have a lovely stay." She said to him.
Nick zoomed down the hallway to the elevator and clambered inside. He was so excited yet so nervous. The room was only a short walk from the lift and as he approached the door he felt sick with nerves. But as he opened the door he dropped his bag on the floor at the sight he saw. Peter in Carla's bed, the bed he was supposed to be sharing with her. As he turned on the light Carla awoke from her sleep and saw him standing there.
"Nick... This isn't what it looks like" Carla told him.
"Oh isn't it, well it wouldn't surprise me, you've got a habit of jumping into other people's bed haven't you?" Nick said harshly.
"Nick, mate I can explain" Peter began.
"Don't mate me Peter, I'm not your mate. I can't stand to look at your pathetic little face. You both deserve each other" Nick spat as he reached for the door.
"Nick wait" Carla called after him,but he'd already gone.
