You - {Zalfie}

- Christmas Eve -
Zoe's POV

I held onto Alfie's hand as we shuffled around an extremely crowded Cath Kidston store. I picked up a red, polka dot biscuit tin that looked perfect for my Mum.

"I think that's the last present Alf," I smiled, dragging him over to the till. We paid and exited the store.

"Right, meet me outside Costa once you've finished, text me," Alfie said, he hand let go of mine.

"Okay," I smiled, reaching up to kiss him. The kiss lasted a little longer than expected, I wrapped my arms around his neck and finally let go. He smirked as he walked away, knowing that I wasn't expecting such a passionate encounter.

After walking around for a while I saw a small, rustic looking jewelry shop. I opened the door, suddenly getting hit by the warm air. I immediately lay eyes on a silver ring, with and engraved pattern on the side. I picked it up with my cold fingers and examined it.

"Can I help you miss?" said a tall, grubby looking worker. His mop of unwashed hair hung over his eyes like a blanket. I'm surprised he could see. He scratched at his nose with his dirty fingernails.

"No, i'm okay..." I stuttered, putting the ring down and leaving the store. I sighed as I left the shop, that couldv'e been Alfie's perfect present. I wanted to buy him something thoughtful and sentimental. I noticed a small photography shop on the corner of the street. The brightness immediatley attracted me. I skipped over and walked in.

"Hello madam," a smartly dressed woman smiled. "How may I help,"

"I was wondering if you sold picture frames, i'd like to print some pictures off my phone and put them in one," I asked. I scanned the room, various pictures of happy couples, familys and pets were strung all around the room.

"Follow me," The lady said, walking into a seperate room. I closed the door behind me. On the walls hung different shaped frames of all sizes. I picked out a collage one, shaped as a love heart. All I had to do now was find 12 pictures on my phone to fill it with. We went back into the main room where the lady uploaded my photos onto the computer, i'd managed the ruffle up 12 different selfies and memorable pictures.They were printed off and placed into the frame, ready for me to take home.

As I walked up to Costa, I noticed a tall handsome man, standing outside with 2 drinks.

"I see you've brought me a drink," I smile, approaching him. Alfie passes me one and I sip it gladly.

"All done?" He asks. I nod and intertwine my free hand with his.

"Your gonna love it," I grin, kissing his cheek.
