Another Love

Part 1. Just friends

Carla walked out of Underworld's large double doors quickly whilst on her phone. She was texting Peter, who wouldn't reply or answer any of her calls. She hadn't done anything wrong that she was aware of. Maybe it's just the stress of him battling against Leanne for custody of Simon, or maybe it's the stress of him and Carla moving into Victoria Court? It can't be surely.
As she quickly walked around the corner outside of Gail's house, everything she was carrying was knocked out of her hands. Her important paperwork scattered across the pavement and her coffee had spilt on her clothes.
"Hey! Watch where you're-" Carla looked up to find Nick with a soppy, worried look on his face.
"I'm sorry Carla!" He said as he bent down to pick up her papers.
"Great." Carla said frustratedly as she tried to wipe some of the coffee off of her clothes, it was only spreading even more. "Look what you've done." Carla snapped as Nick stood up, his hands full of her paperwork. He took one look at her coffee covered shirt and laughed.
"Haha! I'm sorry." He said while laughing. It really wasn't a funny matter, but Carla couldn't help but laugh herself.
"It's not funny!" She said, laughing, funnily enough.
"Come on, I'll come help you clean up. Then let me buy you another coffee?" Nick said apologetically as Carla smiled slightly. She wanted to say no, but she couldn't say no to a free coffee could she?
"Alright then. You can buy me a cake too." Carla said as bitchy as possible. She chucked her handbag over her shoulders and walked in the direction of Victoria Court. Nick smiled, followed her and carried her coffee covered paperwork with him.
