Can This Be True? { A Zalfie Fanfic }

Zoe

{Zoe's POV}

I had just finished filming a video with my bestfriend, Alfie, and we were currently sitting in a booth together at Nandos, our favourite restaraunt to eat at. I should have been happy to get to spend more tim eiwht my good friend. And I should have been happy that my best friend's sister was going out with my brother, but I wasn't. I wasn't sad, but still, I wasn't happy.

If I had to pick an emotion that I am right now, it would have to be confused. After that video with Alfie, something struck me. Maybe I like this boy more than I think I do. Maybe I love him. Of course this wasn't the first time that I had thought this, it had come up befor. What with all the Zalfie shippers and everything, but this was the first time it felt real.

I knew Alfie didn't feel the same way back towards me though, so I I said nothing and kept quiet. I realized that he had been talking to me and I looked up. "What? Oh nothing, I just zoned out for a minute." I said this all very dreamily, looking at Alfie. I grinned up at him. "So what do you want to do after this?" I asked. I had decided that this would be a whole outing. I wanted to spend as much time with Alfie before he had to go back to London.

"Well," Alfie said with a pause. "I kind of have to get back to London for a party, do you want to come?" hwe asked. He said this so cooly and nonchalantly that I didn't even hesitate to answer.

"Of course," I said with a foolish grin. Just then our food arrived and the talking slowed to an occasional murmur of how good the food was. I had just finished my sandwhich when my phone rang. I glanced down at it and saw that it was Louise. I slid her finger across the screen and held the phone to my ear. I held up one finger to signal to Alfie that I would only be a minute.

"Hey, Chummy," Louise said hurriedly. I didn't even have time to answer because she was already talking again. "So, I'm on the run, rushing Darcy to daycare and I was wondering if you wanted to go to that party in London with me tonight. The one at the Harries' twins place?" I smiled.

"Of course, I'm going to London with Alfie, but how about we all three meet at the London tube and drive their together?" Louise agreed with this plan and hung up. 

"Guess Louise is going to the party too," I said with a grin. Then something dawned on me. "Alfie, why wasn't I invited to this party?" I asked questionly. I was good friends with the twins, so why wasn't I invited.

"You were," was all Alfie said. I picked up my phone and scrolled through my texts and emails, quickly finding the one about the party that I had missed. How could I have done that? I asked myself stupidly. Oh well, at least I was going.

"Are you finished?" I asked Alfie. He always took his time when eating at Nandos and I was always finished ages before he was done. 

"Yes," he said thankfully, because I had to pick out a good outfit to wear to the party. I placed a oner on  the table and stood up, brushing the crumbs off of my shirt onto the ground. I grabbed my purse and started to walk out to the carpark, Alfie following behind me. I was so excited for this party tonight.

We were back at my place and Alfie was packing up all of his camera equipment while I was packing a makeup bag and an outfit for the party. It was already decided that I would spend the night with Louise at Alfie and Caspar's flat since it would be really late to make our way back home at that point. I was so excited to get to spend even more time with Alfie.

I finished zipping up the last bag and sat down on the floor, letting a huge sigh escap my lips. It sure was a lot of work planning out everything you would need for the weekend. "I'm ready," I said proudly. Just then I heard the front door open. Joe was home. "Hello Joe!" I yelled down the hallway but he didn't answer. What a lovely brother I had.

Alfie finished packing up all of his stuff and smiled at me. "I'm ready too, let's go party." We both made our way to the door and whispered a goodbye to Joe, who was obviously in a bad mood. We didn't tell him where we were going because if he knew that we were going to a party that he wasn't invited to, well, he would freak.

After a long while, we made it to the tube, and we were headed to London. It would be about an hour so I settled down onto a seat and pulled out my vlogging camera, I flipped it on and started talking about the party tonight. Just as I was about to turn it off, Alfie jumped up from behind me and shouted "What's up guys?" I giggled as everyone on the train turned to look at is with annoyed faces. 

I clicked the camera off and gave Alfie a reproving glare. "What was that?" I asked, even though I had found it quite amusing.

"You can't start a vlog without the most important person being in it," he said as if the entire world revolved around him. I grinned anyway and pulled out my phone. I started to type up a quick tweet reading 'Going to a very posh party with the lovely Alfie. @pointlessblogtv' Alfie smiled at me and did the same on his twitter.

Both out phones started to blow up, so I just put mine away and sighed. "Train rides are so boring," I groaned. Unfortunately my "job" required a lot of traveling. Alfie just looked at me grinning. "What's wrong with you?" I asked with a laugh.

"Nothing," he murmured. "you just look good today, that's all."  I smiled at his compliment.

"Why thank you, Mr. Deyes." We sat in silence the rest of the train ride, we were both to busy listening to One Direction songs. We almost missed our stop, but luckily we didn't. Alfie helped me grab my luggage and we started off to find Louise. Tonight was going to be amazing.
