Zalfie: Break-Up

Chapter 6: The Truth

Alfie stepped in to our house and took off his shoes. I walked in front of him and guided him to the living room. He quickly stroked Nala then sat down nervously. I sat down too, but I distanced myself slightly because I was upset again from seeing his face. His face had the same guilty expression it had when I caught him with Tanya. I had no idea how he was going to explain himself but I let him anyway.

"Are you ready to tell what happened and why and why you would hurt me like this?" I asked sharply.

  "Yes" Alfie said, he took a deep breath. "I have no excuses Zoe, you have right to be angry. Me and Tanya kissed and she started talking my clothes off and I started taking off hers. I didn't even realise what I was doing. I couldn't control myself. Me and Tanya then.. you know.. and then I heard you coming up the stairs so I quickly put my boxers on." 

I was too angry to cry or even stay anything for a few seconds. "So that's the truth?" I said.

"Yeah, it is. And I can't tell you how sorry I am. I know it will be hard for you to forgive me. But I want you Zoe no-one else, but you" he said.

"Why the f*ck did you have sex with Tanya then?" I shouted.

"Zoe I don't know! It was a moment of madness you know I love you, I always have. From our first date together. You are perfect and I don't want to lose you. I know what I did was wrong and   I did betray you. It will never happen again, I promise you" Alfie said.

"I love you too, but do you think I'm going to take you back just like that. You cheated Alfie and we've been apart for four weeks, things like this can't just be fixed over night. We need time and some more space apart. And for you decide if you actually want to be with me, or go off and shag some else in my own house. I want you but we need time" I explained.

He sat there and thought about what I'd said. "Okay, you can call the shots and say when you're ready for us to get back to normal, I hate us being like this, I know its my fault but I regret it so much." He leaned forward and stroked my cheek. "I love you".
