It Just Happened....(Zalfie FanFic)

Chapter 14

Part 14-

Zoe’s POV-

Alfie slowly lifted me off the sofa, as he carried me into the kitchen, all I could do was watch him. Once we arrived at the kitchen neither of us knew what to do, I clearly didn’t want to be put down, his close contact made me feel secure, happy, loved. He walked over to the counter and placed me down on it, I chose to have some fun. I wrapped my arms tighter around his neck, his hands placed on my waist, his forehead pressed against my own, he was stood in between my legs, which I tightened around his torso. I giggled, making his eyes light up, and the edges of his eyes crinkle as a smile appeared on his lips.  My heart flutters a million miles a second. My smile widened as he came even closer.

“What do you want to eat, little one?” He asked with a twinkle in his amazing eyes. I smiled even more, in fact it began to hurt. I don’t know what it was, maybe the fact that he cared what I wanted, or just the fact that he liked me, or even just the position we were in. Either way I smiled the happiest smile I had for a while.

“Um…” I really want pizza, but we are going to get that later, “how about grilled cheese?” I asked, knowing he liked them. He gave me a sideways smile. I giggled slightly, and he bite his lip cheekily.

“Sure, sounds good….where is the bread and such?” He asked me as I reluctantly released him from my grip, however his hands stayed on my waist and he stayed directly in front of me, smiling.

“Cheese and butter are both in the fridge, bread is over there,” I said while pointing, “in the top row of the pantry.” I smiled as he smiled mindlessly at me. I was in utter shock when he lifted me by my hips. “Aaa! What are you doing?” I said while laughing, and replacing my hands on his neck, and gripping on for dear life. Thankfully Alfie was taller than I, because my feet didn’t touch the floor, they just lingered above it.

We got to the fridge and with one free hand he opened the door, the quickly stepped in front of where it would close, in order to keep it open while he searched for the butter and cheese. After realizing I would not be set down any time in the near future, I placed my head on his shoulder, relaxing.

“Got um!” Alfie announced slipping away from the door, letting it close. He then walked over to the pantry and got the bread, he walked over to the counter. “You want down now?” he asked, lifting his shoulder to get my attention. To be honest I grew fond of the position, so all in all no, no I did not want down. I shook my head no and heard him stifle a laugh. He placed my bum on the counter any way.

“Why did you do that?!” I asked, feeling a little sad at the loss of contact.

“Because,” he said smiling, noticing my displeasure. “I need to make us some lunch, after all it is….” He paused to look at the stove clock, “quarter past one.” He said making my heart flutter.

"I guess you're right, maybe we should eat," As if on q my stomach growled. Alfie burst out laughing and I just turned my face away, embarrassed.

"I guess you are hungry then?" Alfie said after he finished laughing, without a reply he began to make the grilled cheeses, he place four pieces of bread down, I smiled slightly looking up to see him concentrated on what he was doing. He buttered the bread, then placed cheese down. (As you do when making a grilled cheese :)) he looked up and catch me starring, I quickly turned my gaze away from his own.

"What?" He asked, concern in his voice as he probably thought he did something wrong.

"Nothing," I said returning my gaze to look at him, only to see a sad puppy dog face. I couldn't hold in my laugh, I let it out. "Aww, Alf it's okay, you didn't do anything wrong." His gaze met mine, his eyes still had concern in them.

"Then why were you staring at me?" His pout returning to his face, his hands were at his side, just dangling there. I smiled slightly. I debated on what to say, just tell him you were staring at him, because you like him, my heart sang, whatever you do don't say that! Tell him you just had a....a.....daydream, yeah a daydream. My mind replied. I realized that I was just staring at him, saying nothing.

"I just, um...I just was...." I uttered out, clearly I didn't know what to say, he clearly knew I wasn't day dreaming.

"You just were....." Alfie edged me to go further. Moving a tad bit closer, making my mind go blank.

"I was just watching you make the sandwiches." I realize this may sound creepy, but at least I didn't say that I was staring at him because I love him. That would have been awkward.

"Why? Did you not trust me to make them properly?" Alfie said in a jokingly manner, he now had a sideways smile plastered on his face. My heart beat even faster.

"God, you read too far into things..." I said as I jokingly pushed him on the shoulder. My heart raced as he looked up and starred into my eyes making my heart melt, and my mind go to mush. He was so close, so close. Zoe, you are in love with him, don’t even deny it.
