Marriage (A Zalfie Fanfic)

Carol Singers and New Years Kisses

*Zoe's POV*

"Wake up Zoe!!" Alfie shouted into my ear.

"Ugh. Get off!" I groaned. It was too early for this.

"But it's Christmas!" Alfie shouted even louder this time. I had completely forgot in all my tiredness! I spun round nearly knocking Alfie off the bed as he had been sat on it.

"Woah!" Alfie said giving me a hug, "someone's excited now!" I had always loved Christmas. Me and Alfie had decided to stay in the flat for Christmas morning and go to our families in the afternoon. I don't really know why though.

We had eaten breakfast and opened presents from all our friends. We hadn't gotten our family ones yet.

"What time are we going to leave?" I asked impatiently. It wasn't that I didn't want to spend Christmas with Alfie, I was just craving a roast dinner and my dads Yorkshire's!!

"Coming!" Alfie said. He walked out his room with a Santa hat on.

"You are not going out like that." He was wearing literally all red and looked like a hipster Santa or something.

"Yes. I am. It's Christmas anyway, no one will be around." He said laughing.

"You would be surprised." I mumbled.

We got out into the icy cold street. Both our cars were parked just around the corner. As we reached the corner I heard some singing.

"Alfie, do you hear that?" I asked vaguely.

"No what?" He replied.

"Listen." I said walking off to follow the voices.

"Zoe!" Alfie moaned. He still ran after me. Walking along side me he said, "Wait, I hear it now! You're not crazy!" He said jokingly. I pushed him off the kerb. He just laughed and shook his head.

*Alfie's POV*

"Wait I hear it now! You're not crazy!" I said, joking. She pushed me quite forcefully off of the pavement and into the road. I just laughed and continued to follow her and the voices. She was completely transfixed.

We started walking through a little green space that I didn't even know existed. The voices were super loud now. Zoe pointed and smiled at me. There was a group of carol singers wrapped up warm with candles in their hands singing Silent Night. It was beautiful.

"Wow." I whispered.

"Wow indeed." Zoe added.

--------------------------------

I had arrived at my parents house and we were all sat down eating our roast dinner and laughing.

"Anyway, what made you so late Alfie?!" My mum asked teasing me.

"Some carol singers that Zoe wanted to see. It was amazing." I said thinking about it still.

"Zoe huh?!" Poppy asked. My mum laughed merrily.

"Yeah. Zoe, my flat mate." I said, they could see right through me. They know that's not all I thought of her as.

*Zoe's POV*

"Happy New Years!!" Everyone in Tanya and Jim's house shouted. It was new year and lots of YouTube people were at Tanya and Jim's house for a big party.

"Want to be my New Years kiss?" I heard a slurred voice say from behind me. Someone's hands snaked there way around my waist. I spun round to see Alfie.

"Sure!" I said happily seeing what he would say. He wasn't that drunk. He looked taken aback by my straightforward answer.

"Haha! Come here!" I said giving him a tight hug instead.

"Is that it? Sure you don't want to take the offer only lasts for the rest of today?!" He said back. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.

"I'm okay. I think I'll pass." I replied. I actually want to kiss Alfie but that would ruin everything and he's drunk. He started to bite his lip and try his sexy hand through hair move. Like in Tanya's vlog. It is so irresistible.

"You really want me to be your New Years kiss Alfie?!" I laughed.

"Yep! I would love that!" He replied.

"Okay." I said quite shyly. Alfie leaned in. He wouldn't even remember this. I might not either. I was pretty drunk too but I still had sense at this point. He kept leaning in and I leant in too. It felt like all eyes were on us but no one probably even noticed. We were inches apart. Alfie flicked his eyebrows up to see if it was still fine to go ahead. I nodded lightly in return. This was probably the longest lead up to a kiss ever. His lips placed themselves onto mine and we were kissing. I didn't know how long it lasted but we pulled apart because we could hear everyone cheering "Zalfie".

*Alfie's POV*

-Morning After-

I woke up with a huge head ache and aching body. I saw Zoe lead next to me. I looked under the covers just in case. Thank god, I was wearing my boxers. All Zoe was wearing was her pants and bra but it didn't faze me. I had seen her like this before. I couldn't remember a thing about last night, only that I was drunk and that I... oh shit. I kissed Zoe. What the hell was I thinking?! I was drunk, it meant nothing. She probably did it out of pity.

"Zo? Are you awake?" I asked propping myself up to face her.

"Am now." She groaned sitting up.

"Do you remember last night?" I asked quickly.

"Yeah most of it I wasn't too drunk." She replied still half asleep.

"I'm sorry." I said shyly.

"Your not that bad a kisser that you have to apologise!" She said jokingly seeming to be fully awake now.

"Shut up!" I said pushing her lightly. She tried to push me back but it didn't work she just ended up falling on top of me.

"I mean it though. I was drunk. It was stupid." I said seriously.

"It's cool. At least it was a good New Years Kiss. I don't usually even have one!" She mumbled.

"Really? I thought you would have!" I said.

"What are you trying to say?" She joked. We sat talking in bed for quite a long time as everyone else left in the house was still asleep.

--------------------------------

"Wake up everyone!" Me and Zoe shouted. We were fully dressed and had had breakfast. We decided that Jim, Tanya, Louise and Marcus had had a long enough lie in.

"Uuugggggghhhh" groans came from all around the room. It seemed like the only people who had got to a proper bed had been me and Zoe.

"It's too early!" Marcus said wiping his eyes.

"I hear you." Jim piped up.

"Me too!" Said Louise suddenly waking. Tanya stayed silent.

"She's a deep sleeper," Jim explained.
