Zollie - A forbidden love

Chapter 43 - Trio Time

Im so so sorry for not updating this in over a month; I've had really bad writers block, and I've just been really uninspired and struggled to write anything good. This chapter isn't very good, but I guess it's better than nothing.✨

Zosia sat down on the sofa and kicked her heels off as Dom put three wine glasses down on the table.

"Glad to see you're making yourself at home." He quipped.

"Well I still pay my part of the rent, so technically it is my home." Zosia replied, taking a sip of her drink, before pulling a face.

"That." She said, "Is disgusting."

"It is not! I'll have you know that is the best wine in all of Paris." Dom defended.

"Dom, it tastes like stale bread." Zosia said.

"It is rather strong." Arthur added. "But there's not really anything wrong with the flavour."

"Well I really don't like it." Zosia said, adamant.

"I never thought I'd see the day- Zosia March doesn't like alcohol." Dom laughed.

"I haven't drank in over 10 months, I guess I've just gone off it." She replied.

"Well I hope you still like pizza, because it's getting delivered at 6." Dom said.

"How could I go off pizza?" Zosia laughed, "we practically lived off it before I moved out."

"So Zosia, how's Penny?" Arthur asked.

"She's good; the doctors don't think she'll have any lasting damage, and she's getting back to her old self." She smiled. "So that means you'll still have your little friend Dom." She joked.

They laughed, and Dom put his arm around Zosia.

"Ooh, have I told you the latest AAU gossip yet?" Dom said excitedly.

"I don't think you have, tell me more." Zosia said interestedly.

"So you know Ms Wolfe went off to Ukraine a few weeks ago? Well apparently it's because she kissed Serena! Can you believe that, Serena Campbell, kissing a woman!"

"No way!" Zosia exclaimed, "Bernie and Serena? I'd never have seen that coming. So I guess it's all going to kick off when she gets back then?"

"Probably. The gossip mill'll be on fire by then; the nurses are already talking about them, I've had to have a few words with some of them."

"You, tell people not to gossip? Dom, I think that's just a tiny bit hypocritical of you." Zosia laughed.

"No but my gossip is informative, whereas theirs is just plain mean." Dom said. "You should hear the things they're saying; it's awful. Nobody should have that said about them, especially when they've not even don't anything wrong. They-"

Dom was interrupted by the doorbell ringing.

"That'll be the pizza." Arthur said getting up. "I'll get it."

A few minutes later he came back over to the sofa, three boxes in his hands.

"What movie do we want to watch?" He asked, "I've got a very good film about Napoleon." He suggested.

"Arthur if I want to fall asleep I'll play one of Penny's lullabies." Zosia quipped, "What about The Fault In Our Stars?"

"Zosia are you sure about that?" Dom asked.

"Why not, I love it." She defended.

"But I- oh fine then." Arthur gave in.

Arthur put the movie in, and the three of them settled down with their food, watching the film.

As they got to the end of the movie, Dom turned back on the lights, and the attention of both the boys was drawn to Zosia.

"Zosh, you alright?" Dom asked.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." She smiled, wiping her tears, "sorry, that movie always gets me. It's the 'you gave me forever within the numbered days' part, I always cry." She laughs.

"I didn't know you were the type to cry at movies." Dom laughed.

"Guilty as charged." Zosia joked, before looking at the clock. "Guys, it's almost midnight, I should get going." She said, getting up. She slipped on her shoes and grabbed her bag, before hugging both of her friends.

"Bye guys, I'll see you soon." She smiled, "love you both."

"We love you too Marchie." They said together.

"Bye." She said again before leaving the flat and getting into her car. She quickly sent Ollie a text telling him she was on her way, before starting the car and driving home.
