The Ship Sails

Glittery House

Alfie's POV:

I was taking so bloody long looking for my vlog camera I had told Zoe to go on without me. I turned the whole flat over and it looked like a terrible mess. Of course Marcus was no help since he was getting ready for his date with Niomi. I didn't want to disturb him since this was the first girl I've seen make him act this way. I finally found the camera lying among a pile of washing in the corner of my room. Now it looked as if a tornado hit. I couldn't leave so I delayed my driver and cleaned up as much as I could, I needed to catch the tube I was always missing them.

Finally I had gotten on the tube. The ride was so boring I thought I would die of boredom. I had tried filming quite a bit but there was nothing to film so I just ended up putting the camera away anyway. Someone bumped into the back of me right then almost knocking the camera I was trying to put away onto the ground.

"Omg I am so sorry!"

When I turned and saw the girl though she basically screamed so loud I'm sure America could hear her.

"You're Alfie Deyes!! I am a huge fan. C-Can you sign this?"

She handed me her phone case and we then took a selfie. I honestly really enjoyed meeting people, but I never saw what the big deal was with meeting me.

Stumbling out of the tube is always fun. There is always so many people going in different directions trying to make their way out. Suddenly someone jumped me. A part of me thought it was the girl I jus met but either way I covered my face like the sissy I am. When I finally moved my hands I saw it was just Zo. First I felt relief and then I felt utter joy. I was seeing her again and it was wonderful. After the tweet I had posted I was worried she figured it all out and didn't want to talk again. I was going to delete the tweet but that would seem to suspicious since people already commented assuming it was about Zo.

I made sure to introduce myself to Lousie who I instantly loved and we made our way to go and eat. After we ate food and posted our instagrams which were being blown up by our viewers asking questions, Zo got up to take a phone call from Marcus. Since when were they so close? I had to remember to ask him what it was about later.

It had been ages and Zoe was still on the phone, so I took out my vlog and basically blamed Zoe for the lack of footage I was getting although I didn't really mind all that much. Darcy had woken up but wasn't being a nuisance just yet. Louise scared me as I was putting my camera away.

"You know you like her."

I turnede to look at her. I just met this woman and she had basically figured me out in a matter of hours. How long would it take Zoe? Or what if she already knows? As if she could hear my thoughts she said,

"I'm not going to tell her, but I think you should."

"I wouldn't even know what to say. I've had one girlfriend and Zoe is way too pretty for me. She's out of my league. Besides I think I've been friendzoned."

"You never know until you try Alfie."

Zoe walked over to us apologizing for how long she had been on the phone. Of course though my mind was somewhere else. I was still dwelling on what Louise had said. I was completely flustered by it. Maybe Zo could love me.l

-At the Sprinkle Of Glitter Household-

Louise left her car so Matt her husband could come home. Their house was so cute but when I walked inside I really began to understand her youtube handle. There was glitter everywhere, it almost looked like Ke$ha lived there. Darcy had fallen asleep shortly after we arrived and Louise went and put her into bed. I was starting to worry about when I would be getting back to the flat, besides I needed to talk to Marcus about what he said to Zoe.

"DREAMPHONE?! YOU DIDN'T CHUMMY!!!" Zoe was practically in hysterics.

"I DID!!" Louise was too.

I had no bloody clue what was happening.

"What?"

"Louise went out and got only the best board game ever."

She said it so seriously I couldn't help but just agree. I had never even heard of it so I don't know how great it could really be. We sat in a circle as Zoe explained the rules. I hardly listened though I just liked watching her.

It sounds creepy I know, but it was nice. She lite up when she was talking about it and you could tell it was something she loved dearly. Color rose into her cheeks and it made me want to kiss her all the more. I hadn't realized I was biting my lip at that moment. Zoe had turned her attention to me and asked me a question but I hadn't heard it and I couldn't hide my lip.

"Sorry what was it little one?"

"I said are you going to play Alfred?"

"Sure." I laughed to myself as she said Alfred. Oh the nicknames I was getting weren't good for the heart.

I was surprised we had only been playing the game for two hours it seemed like more. Of course Zoe won and she was so happy about getting Richard as her date. It sounds ridiculous but I was jealous of Richard. I wanted to make a girl that happy, and I wanted to go on a date wih Zoe. He got the two things I wanted and he wasn't even real. It was bloody unfair.

"Hey Louise, Zo?"

"Yes Alfred?"

"Yea?" Louise was cleaning the board game up.

"When are we leaving? I don't mean to be rude obviously but I also don't want to overstay my welcome."

"It's quite late. I was just assuming you'd stay the night since Zoe does that when she comes."

I thought this over. Me and Zoe. At Louise's house.

I liked the idea.

"Oh okay are you sure?"

"Yea totally only we have one guest room and sorry in advance if Darcy wakes you up."

I looked over at Zo, "You get the guest room. I'll take the couch."

"Alf-"

"No Zoe, it's settled."

The couch certainly wasn't the worst place to sleep. It also wasn't the most comfortable either. My phone began incessantly beeping all of a sudden.

'You, me and Zoe are hanging in Bristol tomorrow.'

'I need to shop.'

'Please man'

There were more pleadings after and I hated to do this, but I got up and made my way to the guest room. I stood outside and knocked. I really hope I didn't wake her up. To my surprise the lights were still on.

"Come in"

I walked in and she had climbed into bed, but she was scrolling through youtube.

"Oh hey Alf." She patted the spot next to her as she sat up,I walked over and sat next to her.

"Marcus wants you to come with us to Bristol tomorrow he won't stop texting me. Apparently he needs to shop.

"Oh ya, he mentioned it to me on the phone."

"So are you coming?"

"Yea of course I suggested it to him so I would be glad to."

"Okay night little one." I turned and slowly got up and was leaving.

"Night Alfie" and the next part I'm sure I imagined I thought I heard her say, "I love you to the moon and back"

Of course though that would be wonderful of she said it, but she hadn't. I was sleep deprived and all I wanted to do was snuggle into that bed and grab onto Zo and never let go. She looked beautiful and I didn't even tell her. Tomorrow was going to be a blast. I had a dreamless sleep, because many of my dreams were slowly coming true. I was spending the day with my best friend and the girl I loved who had friendzoned me. It seemed pretty sad that such a small thing made me happy, but I took any time got with Zoe. God knows I don't want to go weeks with the lack of communication we had these past weeks. She meant too much to me. I just wish she saw it the way Louise did.
