PUTTING BUTTER NEAR FIRE, IT MELTED

The next day, he went to work.

Alfie.....Hy.

Chloe.....Hy.

Alfie.....About yesterday, i forgave you.

Chloe.....I never apologized.

Alfie....But...you really are tough.Anyway, lets be friends.

Chloe.....No, i cant lose my job because of you.

Alfie.....How is this about your job?

Chloe.....Dont play dump with me.

She walked away and left.

Alfie.....Whats with her? I should ask Chris.

He called Chris.

Alfie.....Dude, this woman is a tough one and its living me in a tight spot.

Chris...Hahaha....she will be tough until you realise that your falling for her.It seems like your heart is the one getting broken.

Alfie.....Get serious dude.

Chris.....Just do what she is not expecting you to do.

Alfie.....Like what?

Chris.....I dont know, think about it, its you to solve this, not me.

Alfie.....Your not helping.

Chris.....Later.

He ended the call.

Alfie.....I must do what she doesnt expect me to do? What could that be? Women are really hard to please, but i have a mission, so, its okay.

After working, he waited for her at his car, she came out.

Alfie.....Chloe, can i drop you home, please?!

Chloe.....(What is he trying to do to my heart?) But....

Alfie.....I wont do anything to you, i promise.

Chloe.....Okay.

He drove back home quietly.

Chloe.....(Why is he suddenly like this? I dont think i can control myself when am with him, he gets hotter by the day.I wish i met him before Suzy, am so unlucky.)

Alfie...(Should i start a conversation? No, she wont like it.But she is seriously pretty and i want to look at her forever.What are you thinking Alfie? Cut it out!)

She got home safely.

Chloe.....Thanks alot for tonight, good night.

Alfie....No problem..wait, can i please have your number?!

Chloe....Mmm....sure.(Does he want to start something? Sorry Suzy but i also cant help it.)

Alfie.....Thanks, good night then.

She went inside and called Gia, she told her everything.

Gia....Maybe he now wants to start something because your pretty girl, its obvious.

Chloe.....Hope so, because the way he speaks to me now, makes my heart race.

Gia.....Oh! Good for you girl, hope he confesses someday.

Chloe.....Am also praying for that too, his too hot to not fall for.

Alfie started taking her home everyday but they didnt talk alot.He fell for her for real but didnt want to accept it.

Alfie.....Today is our last day working together, working with you was a good thing that has hsppened to me this week.

Chloe went and kissed him, he was suprised.

Chloe.....I...like you Alfie, am into you and its been burdening me not to tell you how i feel.

Alfie....I should go now.

He left.

Chloe.....What was that? I thought...that he liked me too.Am so stupid, this is embarassing as hell.Now my heart...hurts.I was wrong to take his kindness for love....your so stupid Chloe for not controlling yourself.

Alfie drove his car and went to Chris's house.

Chris.....Whats wrong?

Alfie.....Chloe kissed me.

Chris.....What?? Thats good dude, wait....dont tell me that you freaked out dude.

Alfie.....I..did....when she kissed me, my heart raced and i felt sweaty.It was like my first kiss, i didnt know what to do and just walked away.

Chris.....Thats what they call love, you love her too but your scared because of what Emily did to you.

Alfie.....Emily? I almost forgot about her, i cant believe that i've spent this week without thinking about her.

Chris.....Its because you were with the woman you love now, she made you forget about Emily.

Alfie.....I think your right, am in love with Chloe.She makes me feel safe, happy and i like her company.

Chris.....But you fucked up, am sure that she is now regretting why she kissed you.She thinks that you dont like her and she wont want to see you again, because she is embarassed now.

Alfie.....What do i do now?

Chris.....Call her...no....meet her and tell her how you feel.

Alfie.....Okay, thanks alot Chris.

He went to Suzy the next day and told her everything.

Suzy.....Good choice because Chloe is pretty and hardworking.

Alfie....I know and am here to fix my fault.

Suzy.....Dont worry, let me call her.

Suzy.....Chloe, come to my office.

Chloe.....Yes ma'am.(How am i going to face him now? This is embarassing, why is she even calling me? My job with him is over already, shit..shit...shit...shit...What if he told her that i kissed him? Am getting fire today for real.)

She went inside looking down because she was feeling embarassed to look at Alfie's face.

Suzy.....I should head out so that you two can talk.

Chloe.....About what? I should leave too.

Alfie held her hand, Suzy left.

Alfie.....Please dont leave.

Chloe.....Am sorry....for...you know.It was a mistake, so...

He kissed her as she was still apologizing.

Alfie.....I should apologize instead for freaking out like a fool instead of kissing you back.Am sorry for not saying anything.

Chloe.....What...do...

Alfie.....Chloe, i love you too, i like you too and i want to start something serious with you.

Chloe.....Huh? Are...you serious?

Alfie.....Yes, am very serious, i want this too.I cant keep denying how i feel about you.

Chloe.....What about....Suzy?

Alfie.....Suzy?? Wait...dont tell me that you thought that me and her were dating?

Suzy entered.

Suzy.....Sorry for eavesdropping, i couldnt help it.Me and Alfie are bestfriends from school and we grew up together, so, dont worry about me.

Alfie.....Suzy is married and she is one week pregnant.

Chloe.....What?? Am sorry for overthinking things, congs ma'am.

Suzy.....Thanks Chloe, but call me sister or Suzy from one on because your my boy's girlfriend now.

Alfie.....Then, let me steal her now.

Suzy....Its okay, take her wherever you want.
