Imperfections (Zalfie)

Zoe

I woke up from a pain in my neck. I sat up straight and rubbed my neck. I noticed we were all still downstairs on the sofas. No wonder my neck was sore, I'll probably get whiplash.

I looked at my phone which somehow ended up on the floor. I checked the time and noticed it was nearly 11am. Woah, we slept late. I saw that the TV was on standby, meaning we had all fallen asleep with the movie still playing.

It was a good movie and I'd seen it before so it didn't matter much that I missed the ending. In other circumstances, I would be so annoyed. I hated missing the endings of movies, they're the best part.

I rubbed the sleep still present in my eyes and stood up, careful not to wake anyone. I crept around Alfie's feet and made my way to the bathroom.

I closed the door behind me and did my business in the toilet. I flushed it, hoping I didn't wake anyone. I washed my hands and looked in the mirror above.

I looked a state. My hair was still in a loose ponytail but was all messed up badly, my makeup from the previous night, which I forgot to remove, was all down my face and under my eyes. My dark circles were showing and I looked worn out. I look so horrible in the mornings and I hate it. I feel so self concious. It's bad enough with anxiety too.

I don't really want Alfie to see what I look like just after I've woken up in the morning. I feel like he'd think I was ugly and decide not to date me anymore.

(A/N IN NO WAY DO I FIND ANY OF THIS TRUE. I FIND ZOE BEAUTIFUL WITH AND WITHOUT MAKEUP AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HER. I ALSO KNOW ALFIE WOULD NEVER DUMP HER BECAUSE OF THAT, HE LOVES HER. THIS IS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THE STORY)

Ugh, I better shut up before I give myself a migrane from worrying.

I splashed some water over my now pale face and dry it. I take my toothbrush out and use Marcus' toothpaste and brush my teeth. I took my necesseties with me to their house as we were staying the night. After breakfast, we're gonna go back to Niomi and I's flat to pack. The worst thing ever. I hate packing so much!

I apply a little makeup and change my clothes before walking out of the bathroom to see everyone was up. I must have been in there for a long time because Alfie and Niomi were dressed while Marcus lay in a pile on the floor.

I chuckled at the sight.

"Want some breakfast princess?" I heard someone ask from behind me

I turned around to see Alfie standing there with a smile on his face.

"Yes please" I smile, putting my arms around his neck as he placed his on my waist.

I pecked his lips before detching so he could make me food. I'm hungry.
