My Boyfriend's(?) Roommate

Chapter 46: A year later

A year later

Since Zoe left a year ago a lot had happened. I had been left with an empty room in my apartment, so it only made sense I find a new roommate. While the spot of best friend was filled permanently, I still couldn't pay all the rent by myself. I didn't have to look that far though. Joe moved in.

It was wonderful, we spent all our time together. Joe was there in the mornings to wake up to, and there at night, just a room away. All though it was very uncommon for us to spend nights in different rooms. Despite our comfortable nights in, snuggled up with a movie, we still went out for dates in nice restaurants. Just the other day we went out for a burger for the nostalgia, then took a long walk in the park. We did kiss by the fountain, no falling in this time, but a year later and Joe's kisses were still as tasty.

I missed Zoe. We messaged each other occasionally, but it still wasn't the same as seeing her every day. It was hard when she was in another country, but today Zoe was coming back for the first time.

I had suggested we have a welcome back dinner, however Joe insisted that we go back to that club where we first met. It seemed like a strange place to meet, since nightclubs made me feel out of place, but that was just me. Both Joe and Zoe were extremely outgoing and loved the club. I suppose opposites do attract, I wouldn't change my opposites for the world.

Arriving there the earliest, I sat down alone in a booth. Joe had to do some shopping today so I stayed in with my wattpad app.

"Hey there stranger." I didn't need to see the face of the speaker to know who it was.

"Zoe!" I jumped up and threw my arms around her, pulling her into a big hug.

"Haha. I missed you too, but we may need to let go soon, I have so much to tell you!"

When I let go, I saw Alfie come up from behind Zoe.

"Alfie!? What are you doing here!?"

"And that's our que to catch up."

All of us sat down. I was the first to ask for an explanation, since everyone else on the table knew what was going on.

"So Zalfie is back together huh?"

"I know you're probably judging me, but just listen first."

Zoe explained that she had gone to South Africa to chase after Caspar, but she didn't even see him before Alfie came along chasing after her. He had professed his love for her and they figured they could have a romantic couple holiday since they were already there. Eventually they got so comfy they couldn't bear to leave, so they stayed at Caspar's, he was quite happy to put them up for a year.

"If you make each other happy, well then l I'm happy for you too."

"Thanks for understanding, what about you and my brother?"

"Well not much has changed, nothing big anyway. Should we order drinks?"

"Nothing for me." Zoe said.

"I'll pay, are you sure?"

"Yeah..I can't really drink right now..."

My eyes widened with realisation "Zoe, are you-"

"Yes! Yes I'm pregnant!" She exclaimed with a wide grin.

"Oh my!! Zoe!!! That's amazing!" I pulled her into another hug, but I quickly pulled back not wanting to hurt the baby.

"Don't worry I'm only pregnant, not made of glass." She teased. "Actually speaking of pregnant, I need to go hurl up my lunch." Alfie followed closely behind. I never doubted Alfie's love for Zoe, just his character after that incident. I'm sure he'd take care of her and the baby though.

Once again I was alone, but not for long as the voice of my lover greeted me.
