Kisses & Misses

    I wake up the next morning knowing that I have to go home. I really didn't want too. I wanted to stay with Alfie. But, I knew that if I stayed here any longer it would make things go quicker and we may jump into things to quickly. I wanted to take things slow with Alfie. To make sure this was right and that we weren't rushing.

   I look to my right, expecting to see Alfie's gorgeous face. No. I got up, looked in the mirror, I made my self a little more presentable and walked out into the kitchen. I see Alfie standing there making waffles also heating up some chocolate, and I can see some strawberries cut up on the side. "Morning Alfie" I smiled. He turned around. I walked a little closer to see he was in his boxers. "Good morning little one" He beams. I sit up on the counter. "What's up with you? So happy?" I giggle. "I'm just happy your here and that I am able to cook you breakfast" He says. He continues to cook and pour chocolate over the waffles. "Well, um. You do realise that I have to go home today" the smile on his face disappears. "I don't want you to go" He moans. "Alf, I have to. We can't rush things either." I state.

   He wraps his arms around my waist and a places his lips on my neck. We haven't spoken about the kiss last night. This is the second time his lips have touched me and I love it. He slowly starts to kiss it. I feel shivers swarm over my body. I tilt my head back a little. He starts to nibble lightly. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him a little closer. His lips leave my neck and trace up onto my lips. He leaves short and sweet pecks on my lips, but I want more. I pull him closer by his neck. He moans a little. Urgh! He makes this impossible to leave. I pull away. "I should eat and go" I whisper. "I'll miss you" he mumbles. He sprinkles the strawberries and passes me plate. I take a seat on one of the stools at the breakfast table, as does Alfie. I start to eat and it tastes AMAZING. "Alfie, this is so good." I smile. "I know, you have a little something on your lips little one" He says, he spins my stool so I'm facing him. I stand up. He pulls me closer to get the chocolate off. Before I know it, Alfie is removing the chocolate with his tongue and lips. He stand up, making it hard to kiss him with such a height difference. I wrap my arms around his neck and wrap my legs and his torso. I attach my lips to his. He starts to walk to his room, with his tongue still exploring my mouth. He opens the door and gently lays us down on the bed. As he lays on top of me I realise what he's about to do. Oh no. Too fast. WAY to fast. I push him a little back by his shoulders. He looks at me, "I'm so sorry Zoe." He says instantly caressing my cheek. "No, it just I have to get going." I smile. "I really don't want you to go" He whispers. "Maybe you could come with me gorgeous" I say quietly, I didn't know if I was the one now rushing. "I cant, I have to pack for New York, I have a few meetings out there" He says whilst I pack my stuff up. I pull a sad face and he pecks my lips. "Its only for a week though, and remember? We can't rush things little one" I know he's right. So I mumble an 'okay'.

     "I'll see you later, I promise. We can Skype" He smiles at the doorway to his apartment. "Promise?" I question. "I wouldn't miss it okay?" He reassures. Do I go in for a kiss? Cheek or lips? Oh god I don't know. It isn't like you've had three intense moments Zoe. Kiss him. I bring my lips to his and peck them lightly. "Bye Alfalfa" I whisper. "Bye little one"

    The drive home was lonely, Alfie called me once just to see where I was, this time I didn't turn around. When I walked through the door Joe instantly stopped me. "Okay. Where have you been and why did you stay?" Who is he? Dad? "I stayed at a friends and because I wanted to okay?" I snap. I walk up the stairs to find him following me. I shake it off and place my bag on my bed. I open it up to grab my phone charger. "You stayed at Alfie's didn't you." He states. How did he know? "No" I quickly replied. He walked to my bag and pulled something out. "Then why do you have his jumper?" He questions. I couldn't get out of this. What am I going to do? I'm just having to tell him in trust. "Me and Alfie may have gone on a few dates, that's all" I smiled. I plugged my phone in and removed my little makeup. "What so your together now?" He asks. "No officially, but we are taking things slow" I smile at the thought of Alfie. "My sister and my best friend. Are you joking?" He says pissed off. "Just as bad as you and Gabby going on a date, wait scrap that. That isn't bad because it didn't bother me" I state. I know I had won this. "Fine" he mumbles.

I look down at my phone to see Alfie calling me.

A• Hey little one.
Z• Hey Alf.
A• I just rang to say goodnight and that I miss you. I have no one to sleep with tonight.
The smile on my face fades as that hits me too.
Z• I miss you Alf.
A• God, I miss you too.
