Zoe's POV
I couldn't believe how stubborn Alfie was being. There was just no way of getting through to him. I know I'd made a mistake, but I hadn't expected him to react like he was.
We'd arrived at the hotel..The taxi driver really didn't want either of us in the taxi with the state we were in. We were soaked and muddy but after some heavy persuading they ended up putting a bin bag down for us to sit on and for us to give them a little extra money. I didn't mind, I just wanted to get out and have a shower.
Me and Alfie walked in separately. I got some funny looks as I walked through the lobby. I didn't really fit in with the whole aura of the hotel considering it was quite posh. I quickly scurried out of view as I didn't like being the subject of everyone's eyes.
I started to head to my room but Alfie had really bugged me.
I text Marcus to ask what room they were staying in. He replied surprisingly quick and gave me the number. He asked if I was alright and what I needed the number for but I didn't reply. I'm sure my intentions were obvious.
Alfie's POV
I couldn't believe Zoe. I was angry and upset. I wish she'd had just left me alone.. I thought she'd have a bit of shame at least in front of me.
I looked at myself in the mirror, I was a dirty shade of murky brown. I turned on the shower and waited for it to heat up whilst I took my combat jacket off. I'd have to return them later on, I wonder if I'd have to wash them first? Oops.
There was a knock at the door. Oh god. I opened it slightly and saw Zoe there still in her dirty gear.
Alfie sighed, "what?"
"Alfie I'm so sorry. For everything. I really am."
Alfie sighed again.
"I brought your boxers and t-shirt back." She said as she held them out. Alfie took them from her and turned and put them on his bed. He heard the door shut and turned around to see Zoe standing in the room.
"I didn't say you could come in."
"Why are you being so off with me?"
"You know why Zoe."
"I made a mistake, I never listened to you. I was fooled by Josh, he made me think he had changed."
"What did I tell you Zoe.. He's a manipulative wanker!" Alfie raised his voice. The thought off Josh hurting Zoe angered him a lot.
"I should have listened. I should have known better. If I could turn back time I would."
"It's alright saying that now Zoe. It's just the whole way you went about everything."
"What do you mean?"
"The way us ended. It's clear why you never wanted 'us' to happen, you were always going to go back to him!"
"That's not true Alfie!"
"Sure looks that way."
"I promise."
"The way you came to mine, we had a great day, a great night but then you rushed off in the morning, hardly said a fucking word then you tell me in the evening that it was all a mistake. I just don't get it.. Every time we were with each other something happened and you let it happen an-"
"Alfie, stop there. I did NOT tell you that evening what happened was a mistake. YOU was the one that said it was a mistake. YOU was the one that said for us to forget about it." Zoe said, starting to lose her patience.
