I love you more. *A Zalfie Fanfic*

"He's watching us."

I woke up the next morning still asleep on Alfie's chest. He wasn't asleep however, he was watching television.

"Good morning Little One." Alfie said kissing me lightly on the lips.

"Morning." I said smiling shyly.

I placed my hands on Alfie's chest and pushed myself up. I sat there playing with the ties of Alfie's shorts.

"Alfie I'm sorry. I didn't mean to have a total melt down last night."

Alfie sat up so are faces were inches apart. "Don't be. I can understand why. I heard the phone call."

I stood up off the bed and walked over to the vanity. I picked up my phone. It was 9:30 and I had a text from Louise.

"Hey Chummy when you wake up don't freak out. Matt had to get a train to Liverpool to visit family and Darcy and I are running errands. Love you xxx."

I smiled at my phone. Lou had sent this about 20 minutes ago which means me and Alfie had a couple of hours to ourselves. I walked into the bathroom and started brushing my teeth.

As I was Alfie walked in a placed his hands on my hips.

"Im gonna take a shower." He said softly kissing my neck.

He started the water and stepped in. The mirror was fogging up already from the heat of his shower. I finished brushing my teeth and washed my face.

I walked back out into the bedroom. It was dark. I looked out the bay window and I noticed a dark figure in the window opposite the street. However, I dismissed it. It was dark and gloomy. Thunderstorms were coming. Then again this is England. I sat down on the bed which was still warm from Alfie. I snuggled up and grabbed my laptop. I placed the tv on a music channel and began scrolling through my Twitter.

I saw that I had a notification from Nick. It was a DM saying "7 hours! I wouldn't be sitting in bed if I were you." I read it a couple of times before getting up and practically running to the bathroom.

I shut and locked the door behind me. Alfie shut off the shower.

"Zo hand me a towel."

I was so worried that I hadn't noticed tears were streaming down my face. When I turned around to hand Alfie a towel he grabbed my face snapping me put of the worried daze I was stuck in.

"Zoe what is it?" Alfie said trying to get me to look at him.

"Nick. He's here. He's watching me. He's watching us!" I said my eyes darting from the window to the door.

"What!? How do you know?"

"Twitter."

Alfie wrapped the towel around his waist and grabbed my hand. He slowly unlocked the door and turned the door knob. He poked his head out to make sure the coast was clear.

He opened the door wider and walked towards the bed. He grabbed my laptop and read the message a few times. He set down my laptop and slid on a pair of boxers.

I was still in my daze. It's like I was frozen with fear. Alfie walked over and grabbed me.

"Listen Zoe. We're going to run down stairs and lock all the doors and windows and shut off all the lights and come back up here okay?"

"Uh huh."

As soon as our feet went from carpet to hard wood we hauled ass. Locking every door and window we could find. I shut off every light and blew out the candles Lou had lit. I shut all the curtains in the kitchen.

When I was shutting the curtains in the living room I saw something. I walked closer towards the window. A hand hit the glass hard. It was Nikolai standing in the rain. Laughing manically. I screamed loudly and ran to where I saw Alfie last.

I ran into Alfie in the hallway we both fell to the floor. I was crying and my heart was racing.

"Zoe why'd you scream!?"

"He's out there Alfie." I whispered.

Alfie crawled on his hands and knees to the landing of the stairs. He poked his head around the banister and saw Nick standing there. Looking in.

"Zoe. We have to get that curtain closed."

"Okay follow me."

The way Lou's house was built was there is the stair case leading upstairs. And there is a hallway leading to the kitchen and one towards the living room. Now the kitchen opened into the living room so I figured we could army crawl and meet in the middle of the window with the curtains.

I crawled through the kitchen keeping low. I crawled on my stomach past the front door. The storm winds were so strong that the were blowing the mail flap open.

It was so dark outside that I couldn't tell if Alfie was opposite me with his curtain or not. I heard a whistle and saw a faint flash. Im guessing Alfie had his hand in front of it so the flash wasn't so bright.

Nick didn't seem to notice. He just stood there like an evil gargoyle. Looking in.

"Ready?" I heard Alfie faintly whisper.

I grasped my curtain. Ready to close them as fast as possible.

"1...2...3!"

Me and Alfie met within a second. I heard Nick punch the glass.

"I'll get you, you slut!"

Me and Alfie darted back up the stairs and into the room locking the door behind us. I immediately called Louise.

I had the phone up to my ear still breathless. "Hey Lou."

"Zoe?! Are you okay?"

"Yes. I'm fine. Listen don't come home."

"What?!"

My voice lowered to a whisper. "Nikolai is lurking around outside."

"What?! Zoe call the police!"

"Alfie is. Im sorry Lou I didnt mean for this to influence your life."

"It's okay. Listen call me when the police clear it."

"Okay. Bye love you."

"Love you Zoe."

Before Louise hung up I heard a faint voice on the line. "Sorry baby Auntie Zoe can't talk now."

The line went dead and my heart broke for Darcy.

"Okay Zoe they said 15 mins."

I was sitting on the bed starring at nothing. My eyes just glazed over. Alfie walked over and kneeled down in front of me and took my hands in his.

"Hey. We'll get it figured out. I promise."

I just kept nodding my head. Trying not to cry. "I know."

Alfie engulfed me in his arms. "I promise Zoe."

I let out a little whimper and Alfie's arms closed tighter. He picked me up and laid me in the bed.

"You stay here and I'll deal with the police. Okay?"

I nodded my head. "Okay."

Alfie gave me a long kiss on the lips. "Love you."

"Love you too."

The doorbell rang and Alfie walked out of the bedroom shutting the door behind him. I fell asleep to the sound of Alfie's feet on the stairs.
