Carla and Lisa

Part 5

Lisa turned up at Carla's door just before 6pm and was met with the biggest grin. And a quick peck on the lips before they walked out the door. Carla was caught checking the other woman's out whilst waiting for the lift. And feeling confident wrapped her arm around the others waist knowing no one would see them. Once in the lift Lisa pulled her into a cuddle and whispered. "I'm taking all of my chances to touch you now because it's going to be hard not to look and touch you when you look this good" Lisa admitted. "You kiss a girl once and now we can't keep our hands off each other are we teenagers" Carla giggled as she kissed the woman's lips.

Once they got out the lift they had a slow walk over to the pub. Lisa opened the door for the woman and touched the small of her back one last time before going to the bar to order a glass of wine each. They sat them selves in the booth opposite each other. "So tell me if I want to win Betsy over how do I do that?" Carla started. "Well that Connor would be telling. All you need to know is she loved your cooking and she's a sucker for an action movie" Lisa replied teasingly "it's that all you're gonna give me. Your supposed to be helping me" Carla grumbled. "You will get to know her. She works for you" the blonde replied.

"So how am I going to win Roy over?" She asked.
"Now this one is hard and I will help with this. Just show him the real you. Not DS Swain but Lisa." Carla smiled reaching out for Lisa's hand. They touched for a moment before pulling away.

"Want another?" Lisa asked a little while later. Carla gave her a nod. Once she had ordered their drinks she realised her side of the booth had been taken by Jenny and Ryan. She slid in next to Carla and passed her a glass. "Ahh DS Swain it's good to see you again" Ryan smiled. "It's Lisa please. I'm not working tonight" she replied. Jenny looked as if she was about to make a comment before Carla butted in. "Ryan was just saying Michelle is coming home for the weekend next month" Lisa saw and different smile on her face that she had ever shown her before of excitement. "Ahh amazing" Lisa replied.

The four of them sat chatting together getting to know Lisa better not that Carla didn't already know everything she had said from late night text and nights out.

Jenny ended up inviting Sarah and Bethany to the table who brought over Craig. Who brought over Beth and Kirk. The two women managed to have their own conversation as well as joining in with the group. Now that they was squished together at the booth Lisa had been able to place her hand on Carla's thigh. Both enjoying the contact. They were caught up in their conversation when Carla realised the blonde had her watch on. "My watch suits you swain" she smiled. "It does doesn't it" Lisa smirked back flashing the watch towards the other women. "You can have it back when I get my hoodie back" the ds teased. "Looks like that watch is yours" Carla whispered. "do you need to get back to Betsy?" Carla asked after grabbing the woman's wrist and reading the time. "Probably for the best I do" the other replied. Causing Carla to bite her lip. "Do you wanna walk me home then?" The brunette whispered into the others ear making sure no one heard her. "I would love to darling"

"Right you horrible lot we are off" Carla announced as she and Lisa stood up waiting for people to let them out. "Boring" someone shouted most likely Jenny. "I have to get home to my daughter" Lisa told the group. "And I have had to much to drink already" Carla lied not wanting to be left here by her 'partner?' Is that what they were she thought.

Once they got to the quiet part of the street they joined hands and walked towards the flat. "Thank you for tonight. Our mission to getting people on side seems like it's a go" Carla smiled as she wrapped her arms around Lisa middle from behind. Resting her head on the others. "It definitely is. But I want to take you out. Where we won't be interrupted by your friends." Lisa admitted placing her hands over Carla's turning in her arms after so long. To find Carla has blushed. Not knowing if it's because she's asked the woman out on a date or if because the brunettes hands had landed on her bum.

"I would love to go on a date with you." Carla smiled pulling her in for a kiss. The blonde took off the watch she had been wearing and gave it back to the brunette finally. To which she joked "you're still not having your hoodie back" The lift arrived and Carla stepped in. "Call me whilst you walk home so we can organise this date?" She asked Lisa smiled before walking out the door and pulled her phone out.
