Zosia March: One Shots

Big Gesture

Zosia and Ollie have been together about 6 months and their relationship has been very strong, up until one day when they leave the hospital separately, after having their first proper argument. Zosia had noticed Ollie 'flirting' with the new nurse that had not long started on Darwin and she was beginning to think that he wasn't as committed to the relationship than she was. Ollie had tried to reason with her explaining that he was just being friendly as she didn't know anyone on the ward. Zosia was certain that he was just saying words that he thought she wanted to hear.

Zosia POV

I arrive back at our, well Ollie's, flat and immediately take out a suitcase and started throwing all my belongings into it, not caring about the clothes being creased or anything. When I am in the en-suite getting my toiletries, I hear the front door open, and hear a voice I didn't want to hear for a very long time.

"Zosia, please listen to me" I hear Ollie say, blocking the exit to the bedroom, trapping me in the room. "Whatever you are thinking about me and her isn't true. I don't even know her name let alone be interested in her. YOU are the one for me. I love you, please don't go".

"Ollie, you really think saying 'I love you, please don't go' is going to make me drop everything and run into your arms and stay? It's not. I heard your conversations, arranging to meet in the staff room, on call room and store cupboard. I get that you are bored with me now and want to move on, I don't blame you, who would want to be with a mad cow like me? Now let me out so I can go home" I say back, tears in my eyes. "You are just the same as everyone else".

Ollie POV

Why won't Zosia listen to me? Everything she is thinking isn't true. It was the nurse who mentioned the staff room, on call room and store cupboard for doing 'you know what', her words not mine. I just gave an awkward smile and giggle to her comment, Zosia obviously hearing and seeing me smile. I need to make Zosia realise that she is the one for me and not some newly graduated nurse. I love Zosia and only Zosia. There was only one thing that popped into my head that would prove she is 'the one'.

The next day

Zosia POV

I am back home in the comforting arms of Dominic in my old flat.

"Don't worry Zosh, there are plenty more fish in the sea" Dom says, trying to comfort me.

"I know but I really thought he was 'the one', I really thought I'd be with him for the rest of my life. All guys just decide to cheat on me when they get bored of me. And then every time I end up catching them in the act".

"But Zosia, you never really caught Oliver doing anything. You are just assuming that he did, you heard words and expected the worst. This is the very first time you have walked out on someone without any hard proof. And I'm very confused as to why that is. You have loved Ollie more or less from day one, you have nothing bad to say about him, and you are always going on about how perfect and different he is. I'm just worried that this isn't your heart telling you what to do, it is your head".

"You think this is my bipolar acting up? It's not, I know what I heard and saw. This has nothing to do with the 'so called mental illness' that I have. He is just the same as everyone else, and if you don't believe me, I WILL get proof" I reply, quite angry, at Dom. Before he can reply, the doorbell rings.

Ollie POV

I turn up at the flat, with the surprise that'll show Zosia that she is the only one for me. Dom answers the door,

"I really don't think you are the best person Zosia needs right now. She needs time to think things through before letting any guys back into her life" Dom says to me, blocking my entrance to the flat. I can see Zosia sitting on one of the sofas, looking visibly upset.

"Please Dominic, I need to show her something that will prove she is the one I want to be with" I plead, "fine, fine but if you make her upset then you are leaving the flat immediately, and I'll be watching from the doorway".

I walk over to Zosia and sit on the coffee table in front of her,

"Zosh, I have something to show you to prove how much you mean to me, and how much I want you to be in my life" I say to her quite quietly so that Dom can't hear. I don't like how he is spying on my private conversation, even though I know he's just looking out for his best friend. Zosia stares at me, not showing any emotion.

I stand up and take my jacket off, revealing a newly done tattoo on my bicep saying 'ZOSIA'. Underneath was a date in Roman numerals, the date that we got together.

"What on earth is that? You, Oliver Valentine, are a crazy person. What is the date? I can't read Roman numerals" she says to me, laughing.

"I wanted to prove that you are the only one for me, that I love YOU and only you. You are who I want to be with. And the date? The date is the day we got together,the best day of my life. I'm so sorry Zosia, for making you believe that something was going on between me and that nurse. There honestly isn't".

"No Ollie, you shouldn't be apologising, it's me who should apologise. I jumped to conclusions and that was wrong for me to do. It's happened to me too many times in the past and I just assumed, I'm really sorry. Something Dom said made me realise it. I knew you wouldn't do that, you're the only one who has stuck by me through everything. But you really didn't need to go get a tattoo, that was stupid but also somewhat romantic. I love you loads" Zosia apologise, planting a big kiss on my lips.

"It's okay, I love you too. Please don't ever forget that".
