Marriage (A Zalfie Fanfic)

Moving day.

*Zoe's POV*

I was on my way to Alfie's flat. It wasn't Caspar's anymore, him and Lucy had found a place really fast. Alfie was distraught that Caspar was leaving, he didn't like being in the flat alone. Today was the day that Caspar was moving out and I was gonna help out a bit but mainly just be there for Alfie and catch up with Lucy! Me and Lucy had become quite good friends over Skype so it would be good to meet her properly. I hopped off the train and on to the platform to see Alfie stood there wrapped up in a big coat. It was November and the days were getting super cold.

"Alfie!!" I shouted across the platform.

"Zoe!!" He shouted back as he ran towards me pulling me in for a hug. I felt safe in his arms. I felt safe in his company.

"How have you been?" He asked picking up my bags as we left to get a taxi.

"Good. How are you? How's Caspar?" I replied seriously.

"Okay and great. He's really excited, Lucy and him are still packing back at the flat, it's gonna be so bare!" He said sounding kind of upset.

"Don't worry! You'll fill it!" I said trying to raise his spirits. He flagged down a taxi and we got in. I snuggled up to Alfie in a friendly way. I liked this. It felt good being so close to him.

*Alfie's POV*

I liked it when Zoe snuggled into me like she was doing. It felt right. She was only doing it in a friendly way though. We reached my flat and got out of the taxi in to the cold street. We made our way up the lift making small talk about the weather and general other stuff. We walked straight into the flat because the door was open. The room was covered in boxes.

"Caspar! We're here!" I shouted as loud as I could.

"Hey! I'm in here!" He replied.

"Where's here?" Zoe asked Caspar sarcastically. I dumped Zoe's bags on the floor and took off my coat. She handed me hers and I hung them up, even the coat rack seemed bare without his coats on. Caspar walked out of the bathroom smiling.

"Zoe!" He said hugging her excitedly.

"Where's Lucy?" She asked him.

"Oh so you don't care about me then?!" Caspar replied faking a hurt face.

"No just wondering!" She said defensively.

"I'm here!" Lucy said surprising us from behind. She walked through the front door with coffees from Starbucks for all of us. She set the cups on the table and hugged me then Zoe.

"How are you doing?" She asked Zoe.

"Great! You?" Zoe replied. Me and Caspar left them to it.
