Another Love

Part 11. Peter gets the wrong end of the stick

After a month of sneaking around in Carla and Nick's flats when Leanne and Peter weren't about, in Underworld, once in the Bistro office and even once in the Platt household when Nick was babysitting and he called Carla when Max and Lily were asleep, the pair were starting to get frustrated that they couldn't see each other as often as they wanted to.
It was lunch hour in Underworld and it hadn't even been 12 hours since Carla and Nick last saw each other and Carla just needed to see him again. She grabbed her phone and started texting Nick Hey, come see me in Underworld? It's lunch hour and I'm on my own ;) xx. Almost immediately, Nick replied I'll be right there xx.
Carla quickly deleted the messages off her phone just in case anyone wanted to go snooping through her stuff. And by anyone, I mean Peter. She quickly touched up her lippy and then she heard the annoying squeak of the Underworld doors. She sat there casually as Nick entered the office. She got up from her chair, which was once acted as a bed for the two, and before either of them could say anything, she kissed him as if she hadn't seen him in years.
"I've been waiting to do that all day." Carla said, holding the edges of his shirt.
"I've been wanting you to do that all day." Nick said, he kissed her even more passionately but their kiss was interrupted as Carla's phone vibrated loudly, which frightened them both. As she looked to see who it was she exhaled deeply. The phone read Michelle. As the pair were completely distracted, they had no idea the squeak of the Underworld doors once again echoed through the factory. Peter headed towards the office, he noticed how the blinds were all shut and how Carla was not alone. He first expected it to be one of her clients. He decided to wait outside until she was finished with her so called client.
"What's wrong?" Nick asked.
"It's Michelle." Carla said replying to her text. "I hate that we have to keep this from her. Why can't we just tell her that we are sleeping together?" As these words bounced off the walls of Underworld, Peter's breathing became heavier as he filled up with anger. He wanted to storm into the office and see who it was his wife was screwing behind his back. But Peter expected who it was, he had an idea of who his wife was sleeping with due to the conversation they were having, and the amount of time they have been spending with each other recently.
Peter decided to leave and keep this to himself, until the moment was right. He just stormed out of the factory and whispered to himself I'll kill you Steve McDonald. But clearly, Peter's expectation of who Carla was with, was incorrect.
