I admit I might have always had feelings for Zoe, ever since I had met her. But she would never think of me in a way as a boyfriend. We were best friends. Nothing could ever change that.

I was sitting on the Marcus's couch scrolling through an endless twitter feed. There was a loud yell, which came from Joe. They had arrived.

From the corner of my eye I saw Zoe. She looked beautiful as always. I pretended I hadn't noticed she arrived and began with twitter again

"Alfred!!" She yelled and took my phone. "Zoe give it back." I made a fake whining voice. "Come chase me then." She taunted.

I looked everywhere, and then I found her by a corner. I wrapped my arms around her waist and lifted her up. "Alfieee!! Put me down!" She pleaded.

"Okay." I said with a smirk. I put her down and held her in my arms. "I missed you." I whispered. "I missed you too." She said.

She released her embrace and I admit I was a bit disappointed. She gave me my phone and I gave her a small smile.

Later in the evening, Zoe and I did a collab. I did her makeup pretty badly I must say. Joe, Caspar and Marcus had gone to Mc. Donald's to do the chicken nugget challenge. So it was just me and Zoe.

After she went to the toilet (restroom) to wash up she and I had almost kissed. I wanted to kiss her so badly. But then Marcus, Joe and Caspar had arrived and Zoe got up startled.

There was a storm outside and a very good one. Joe and Zoe had to stay over for the night. I dreamed Zoe and I were walking on the beach, hand in hand. Of course, sadly, that would never happen. I awoke to someone shivering and crying. It was Zoe.

She was shaking so hard. Her breathing was heavy. I thought at that moment she would pass out. All I could do was hold her in my arms and reassure her everything was going to be okay.

The sun shone brightly from the windows. I sat up. Trying to remember what happened the night before. Zoe.

Where was she??

"Where's Zoe??!" I asked frantically standing up.

"Calm down Alfie, she's in the restroom." Said Joe calmly.

Joe, Caspar and Marcus were at the table, talking and drinking tea. But at that moment all that mattered was Zoe. The restroom door flung open. Before she could even say something I ran and held her in my arms. I let her go and and held her hands.

"Are you okay Zoe?" I asked, gazing in her blue eyes.

"I'm fine Alfie." She said with a tired smile.

"Would you all like to go for some tea at the shop in the corner?" I asked everyone.

"No thanks mate Joe, Caspar and I are going shopping for costumes for our next collab." Marcus said grinning.

"What about you Zoe?" I asked shyly trying to hide my flushed face.

"That would be nice." She said smiling.

On our way out Marcus exclaimed, "Have fun with alone with Zoe." I flushed deeply. I could almost see Marcus smirking. I really hoped Zoe had not heard Marcus's little remark.

"Is it good?" I asked

"Delicious." She grinned.

Zoe had gotten a green tea. And I had gotten a blue tea. To my surprise the tea was very good.

"Are you cold?" I asked a bit concerned. She was shivering.

She didn't answer but with no hesitation I removed my jacket and placed it on her shoulders.

"You're sweet Alfie." She smiled warmly.

Our eyes locked. I leaned in. I could swear she leaned in too..

  **BEEP**BEEP**

Stupid Phone. I silently cursed. We broke away. I could feel my cheeks burning.

"I'd better take this.." I said stepping outside.

-"Hello?"

-"Where are you!? You have 15 minutes to be here for your meeting. Don't be late." my managers voice said.

And with that note, he hung up.

I returned inside of the tea place. There was Zoe.  She was beautiful. "Is everything okay?" she asked.

"Yeah but I forgot I had a meeting. I have to go but I got you something.." I said

"Oh-" She started to say. But before she could say more I gave her a pink rose i found in a flower pot. I then impulsively kissed her on the cheek. She looked surprised.

"Goodbye Zoe." I told her.

I ran out the shop and ran to the nearest train station.

I aborded the train and thought. I just kissed Zoe on the cheek. I have kissed her before, but this one felt different somehow.

I snapped myself out of reverie and got out of the train. I walked a few blocks here and there, until I found the right building.

I entered and saw my manager shaking his head. I was late by 3 minutes. The whole meeting passed by like a blur . When the meeting was over I returned home.

Although it was begining to drizzle, I decided to take a walk. I couldn't stop thinking about Zoe. She invaded my mind. I had to see her again. Whenever I was with her, I felt complete.

Marcus was the only person that knew I fancied Zoe. I didn't know if I made a mistake by telling him. I don't know, but I trust him.

Does Zoe even feel the same way towards me? I didn't know. But I really wanted to find out. And then it hit me. I was going to tell her. I was going to tell her how I really felt, the next time I saw her. I was afraid of her reaction. What if we could never be friends again? Stop It. It'll work out . I was going to tell her.

It started to rain and then pour, but I didnt care. I was happy.

I was in love.
