Can This Be True? { A Zalfie Fanfic }

Zoe

I laughed and watched as Alfie and Jim filmed. They sure were a good pair. Then I filmed with Tanya a bit and vice versa. After a few hours or so, we stopped and made our way to Costa. I ordered hot chocolate for me and Alfie. Once we had sat down though, I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I wasn't feeling too good. Tanya followed me.

After having finished my business, I started to talk to Tanya about my feelings for Alfie. She just gave me a kowning smile and told me that I should tell him. "I always suspected that he had a thing for you," she said with a grin. I sure hoped that Alfie felt the same way about me. I mean he had to right? We then made our way slowly back to the table.

I heard the boys talking and paused when I heard my name. I knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, but I just had to. I then heard Alfie blurt out to Jim, "Well I really like Zoe and I want to ask her out and tell her my true feelings, but well I'm scared." He then turned and the second he saw me his cheeks turned bright red. Jim just smiled and mumured something to Alfie that I couldn't hear.

I didn't know what to do then, this certainly was an awkward sitiuation. Our hot chocolates arrived and I just sat there sipping mine, at a total loss for words. Of course Alfie liked me, it was so blatantly obvious now. How could I have been so oblivious before. "I like you too," I whispered. To cover up what I had just said, I pulled out my phone and texted Louise.

Louise was busy with something and she didn't respond, so I texted Marcus. I needed something to do, I didn't just want to sit here like a fool. Both Jim and Tanya as well as Alfie had heard what I had said. My face turned bright red and I felt as if I was going to panic. My breathing started getting faster and my hands started to shake.

I dropped my phone on the table and ran out of the shop into the cold winter air. I sat on the curb, shaking and breathing heavily. I heard the door open behind me and the next thing I knew Alfie had wrapped me up in a hug. It felt so right to be in his warm comforting arms. "Can this be true?" he asked softly. 

My breathing started to level out, I felt so much more calm in Alfie's arms. I titlted my head up to look at him and smiled. Before I knew it, I had moved my lips closer to his and we were kissing. Nothing ever felt more right in my entire life than this. Being this close to my best friend, it all felt perfect. Then I heard the door open again, we pulled apart when we saw Tanya and Jim. 

"Zoe, something's happened to Joe. He's in the hospital," Tanya said, handing me my phone. 

"Wh-what?" I spluttered, still thinking that everything was perfect. Alfie stood up and held his hand out for me to stand up. I grabbed it and started to freak. "Someone drive me to the train station." 

"I'll come back with you to Bath," Alfie said kindly and I nodded. I just wanted him near me. Jim made his way to the car and me and Alfie got in the back. My breathing started to speed up again, but Alfie just rested his hand on my knee and everything was better again. 

Sorry it is so short again. I will update again today for you all! xxx
