Just You and Me.||COMPLETED!!!|| WATTYS2018

That man is my man.

Zoe's POV

"ALFIE!" My heart skipped a thousand million beats. I could feel my fingers going cold and my legs shaking. My temperature started to rise and I felt as if I was going to hurl.

If this wasn't true love, then I don't know what it is. But I have never felt this upset or panicked about anyone before.

Mark ran up to crouching and putting his hands around my arms, pulling me into the softest cuddle, right when Alfie usually cuddles me. He's doing Alfie's job already. Like he is already dead.

Every tear that rolled down my cheek, landed on Alfie's cheek. My hand was locked into his, my head now resting on his bloody chest.

I sat and cried my eyes out.

Alfie was gone.

Mark tightened his grip.

"It's time to say goodbye..." the ambulance guy said.

"Noo" I sobbed clinging onto Alfie!

I watched as they carried Alfie away...

------------

About an hour later, I was at home sat in my bed, stroking Nala and just staring at Alfie's side of the bed. All I could see was the imprint of Alfie's head in the pillow and the way he pulled the duvet of this morning.

A tear rolled down my cheek. Nala came and started licking my hand. I stroked her for while. Mark came running upstairs.

"Do you want anything Darling" he asks sitting down on the bed.

"I'm good mate, thanks mark" I smile at him.

He puts his hand on my mine and with his other hand running through my hair. I looked up at him to see he was staring at my lips.

He looks down to see me staring at him.

Why does he look so cute right now?

Marks POV

I looked up to see her staring at me. My face lit up read. She tightened her hand grip.

"You okay Mark?" She asks me.

"Yeah. Just thinking about Alfie ya know? He's my best mate. " I sat trying to forget about them little feelings of Zoe I had just then.

She looked so irresistible right now. The most beautiful ever. And I know she isn't wearing make up, and her eyes are red raw, her hair in a scruffy bun, but she still looks perfect. Why have I never felt like this before. I'm not gonna feel like this again, this could be my soul mate.

"Yeah I know how you feel. The end of 5 years..." Zoe says looking down.

"Zoe I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring it back up" I say. I feel really bad now.

"No no its okay mark. Its normal to feel this way." She says bravely.

Before I knew it I was leaning down close to her face. I placed my plump lips against hers. They were soft and tasted a bit salty from the tears.

She immediately pulled away.

"You okay?" I ask feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Mark this shouldn't of happened" she says getting a bit upset.

"Yeah, yeah I know I understand" I say releasing my hand.

"I'm so sorry Mark. It's just a sympathy kiss. Caught up in the moment. It didn't mean anything to me. I love Alfie and that's never going to change. He's the love of my life. And because his life has ended doesn't mean that mine has, and if he is the love of my life, he will always be my soul mate, my love, until I die. And nothing is going to change that. I'm sorry." She says sitting up.

"Oh, it mean the nothing" I say standing up. I knew it definitely meant something to me.

"Mark, do you see that imprint on the pillow over there. That imprint is the man I fell in love with. The man who I wanted to get married to, the man who I want to be the farther of my kids. My man. There is nothing that is imperfect about him. And if I can't have him, I cant have anyone. He is the one that our future kids would run to on Christmas Day asking 'Daddy please may you put batteries in my new toy' and on days out when we are holding there hands at the zoo. That man. That man is my man. " She says crying.

Just then Zoe's phone rang.

"Will you get it?" she asks me, handing over her phone.

"Sure" I sigh.

I answer. "Zoe's phone"

A manly voice was on the other end. "Hi, who's this"

"Zoe's friend, Mark Ferris" I reply, with Zoe looking at me confused.

"Does she give you consent for me to tell you this"

"Yeah" Zoe shouts.

"Okay. Alfie isn't dead" he announces. My heart drops. Alfie's gonna kill me!

"He was in a concussion as he fell to the floor and hand a little puncture in his abdomen. We have managed to patch it up and he is awake in bed if you want to see him" he announces.

"Thanks" I say, putting the phone down.

Zoe looks at me concerned.

"Alfie is alive...." I say.
