Meet the Carters

Chapter Two

bang, bang, bang

i groaned at the loud noise bang, bang, bang there it was again. i pulled a pillow over my face but it wouldn't cloke the sound out i shuffled out of bed and opened the window.

"OI! what the hell do you think you're doing! banging on the door like that" i shouted down i saw both aunts look up.

"Mia be a chick and open up, its freezing out" Tina smiled, i groaned and closed the window and putting my slippers on before going downstairs  Tina and Shirley were already let in by Johnny.

"bloody hell you look awful" Aunt Shirl told me

"bog off Aunt Shirl what do you think waking me up is gonna do... flopped onto one of the seats

"hello one and all" Mum came in.

"ah for a second i though you changed your mind"  Shirley smirked

"Us? Never" my laced her reply with sarcasm  i smiled i got my sarcasm and boldness from her.

"now the good news is there is room for ya both" oh so that's where the fourth bedroom was going. "bad news is its in the same room" they groaned i went up to the other side of dad

"look the kids have their own rooms and Mia's agreed to share if Nancy comes back" me and mum snorted

"i wouldn't hold my breath" "i never agreed to anything" me and mum said he wrapped a arm round both of us.

"well why doesn't lady muck move in with her twin"

"already tried that didn't work."

"oi never say never and behave you." he kissed our heads "so here we are the Carters...the Vic and Lady Di" she came forward with a gruff and Tina petted her and Shirley moved away.

i was in the kitchen with Johnny and mum. she was trying to get on to Skype to chat with Lee my brother who is in Afghanistan.

"both of you are in university fix it." she complained

"its wi fi just give it a little time" Johnny replied

"well now that we're all together" Shirley reached into her bag "I've brought a little something for us to celebrate with" she held up a bottle.

"oh that's nice best have it now before it goes stale" i laughed at Mum's comment

"well are you ready for this...are you ready" he shook the bottle and popped it open. Nothing.

"welcome to Walford" Shirley cackles Dad took the swig and i went and took the bottle from him taking my own swig before getting ready.

i came down began painting my nails while mom was hovering, Johnny was cleaning the glasses, Tina was cleaning up and Dad was on the phone to our Nana Elaine. i was concentrating on painting my nails i zoned out a little.

"look lets prove to ourselves that we can do this. this is including you Mia" he said turning to me i looked up.

"and what do i get in return" i finished my nails and blew on them to dry them up.

"first night off and have at it at the bar if you hand these flyers out" he put them on the top i stood and went to look at them.

"deal" i went to get a hat and coat, then came back down

"how do i look" i held out my hands.

"gorgeous my little princess. now go out there and work your Carter magic" i grinned grabbing the flyers and heading out i handed out the flyers and went into the cafe.

"hey sorry to interrupt do you mind if a couple of these flyers are put up." i asked the back of a blonde hair boy he turned round and oh my daze i think i might faint he was... more than handsome, thing i would love to do to him.

"sorry didn't quite catch that" i snapped out of daze.

"could a couple of these flyers go up please" i smiled

"what they for" he asked

"the Queen Vic under new management. first one is on the house" i sang the last bit he chuckled.

"i dunno"

"oh come on the day is young and you are hot" i smirked i was bold and to be honest i can't believe i said it but ah well you can't make lemonade without lemons. he laughed

"okay then you twisted my arm" i cheered.

"I'm Mia, by the way Mia Carter" i held out my hand and he took it

"Peter Beale" he shook it

"well Peter Beale i hope to be seeing you in tonight. i have free reign over the alcohol and it would be a shame to share it alone" i walked out the cafe. I'm gonna like living here.
