More than friends.

Part 59- Trust.

Alfie’s POV.
God. I thought Zoe trusted me; obviously not. I mean ever since Alex and Sam were born, I’ve become more responsible and I truly think I’m becoming a dad. But Alex was born with a breathing problem, so we’ll always have to be extra careful with him, and take him to the doctors once a month. I’m back in the water now, because I can’t be bothered facing Zoe right now. We were taught how to handle him, but she feels I don't know how to.

Once the sun began to set, everyone huddled up in front of the sunset for a picture. It’s definitely a picture to look back on in the future. I knew I’d have to face Zoe soon because things would get weird, and everyone would suspect something. So as we were heading up to the restaurant I pulled Zoe aside.

“Zoe. I’m sorry.”

“No Alfie. I’m sorry. I should really trust you, but you know what it’s like.”

“I do Zoe. I really do. And I personally think I’ve become more responsible, and when you let me down like that… it made me feel like I put in so much effort for nothing.”

“Gorgeous. You’ve worked so hard to become this responsible, and I respect that. But—”

“No but’s Zoe. The only way you can prove to me that I’m responsible, is by letting me take care of them myself. Tomorrow. You go off shopping, and I’ll stay back at the hotel with the kids… okay?”

“Fine. But you’ve got to have me on speed dial. Alright?”

“Deal. I love you little one.” I said as I passionately kissed her. Hand in hand, we walked up to the restaurant where everyone was already seated.

“Did you enjoy your make out session then? I thought #zyler was official? I mean who ships Zalfie… it just doesn't work. zyler is the one. ” Tyler asked.

“We were just discussing things. And Zyler will forever be official!” I winked at Alfie, as he smirked back.

We ate dinner on the beach, and once everyone was finished we jumped back on the bus and headed to the hotel.

Zoe’s POV.
I wasn’t looking forward to today. I was going out shopping without the babies and I was leaving them in Alfie’s hands. I trust him and all, it’s just… I don’t want to be away if he has a breathing attack. Alfie noticed me looking nervous and then distracted me with a passionate kiss and a little touchy feely session.

Once I left, I kept looking at my phone every few seconds. This wasn’t a good way to spend the day, so instead of sitting in a cafe worrying, I decided I’d go and buy some things for Alfie, Alex, and Sam. After hours of shopping, i forgot I left them with Alfie and just texted him to make sure everything was all right.

“Hey Alfie. They okay?”

“Yeah. They are fine. I’m just in Tan and Jim’s room. They’re playing with Katy. No problems so far.”

“Good. Love you. xxx”

“Love you more, and I fancy a little make out session once we put them to bed tonight. Like my idea?”

“More than I like nandos… and thats a hell a lot.”

“xx”

That made me happy. So I hopped back in the taxi, and headed to the hotel.
