Alfie's POV:
I'd never heard Zoe speak with that much passion before and I'd never told her that I loved here before but I meant it and I really wanted to take our relationship to the next level and move in together.
"Zoe I really think that we should talk about buying a place together soon, like right now"
She paused and pursed her lips it always made me weak she was so adorable and I just wanted to kiss her.
"Ok we might as well not procrastinate it let's talk about it now" she finally said after what felt like the longest time.
"Zoe I feel as if we should stay in Brighton if we buy a house as I know how bad your anxiety is in London and I want nothing but the best for you, I know how much you love Brighton" I finished and then took in some breath and looked over at Zoe to see what she thought.
"Alfie I feel the exact same way, Brighton is beautiful and I wouldn't ever want to move to London it's too stressful for me, I love you for saying that you care about me and I think that we should start looking for a place quite soon so that we can plan ahead".
I thought about it for a minute before replying,
"I completely agree with starting looking now it's better than not knowing what we're going to do next and having nowhere to go", I finished my sentence and looked down picking at a stray thread on my tatty, blue jeans.
Suddenly, I felt a jolt and Zoe was on top of me "Alfie I love you so much" at that moment I couldn't wait any longer, it had been too long since I had been near Zoe and I just had to kiss her. I leaned in and kissed her and the familiar passion and sweetness came back to me, I loved the way that our mouths fitted together and I loved Zoe very much.
Zoe's POV:
It was a rash decision of mine to jump on Alfie, I jumped not knowing if I would hurt him or not. "Alfie I love you so much" I breathed with all the feelings I felt for him that I hadn't let out before. He breathed out slightly and then he leaned in and kissed me, the familiarity hit me with a shock, the way his hands went round my back the way I twined my hands in his hair and the way we fit together as one, oh how I had missed this.
We didn't have to start today right ... we could wait until tomorrow to do it I mean we might as well wait now, we had a lot of catching up to do ...
