Later that evening Christian had gone home, Amy was in bed and Phil, Shirley, Ben and Jay were home and had started up their usual argument. Usually when this happened she would take Amy to the Vic and talk to Alfie, just to escape it all. But this time she couldn't. She sat on her bed as the tears fell. She wished Ronnie was here, she always knew how to cheer her up. She couldn't even have a night out with Christian as him and Syed had Yasmin for the night. She had never noticed before how lonely she was. She wished she was still the young wild party girl she used to be, and she would still be if there was anyone to party with her. But she wasn't...she had grown up. And she hated it! Before all this, Alfie had said he would be the one left partying with her but there was no chance of that now. She was well and truly alone.
Just then her phone started ringing and the Vic number flashed across the screen. She hesitated before answering "Hi..." she said trying not to cry.
"Hey Rox its Alfie...Wait are you crying?" Alfie asked, feeling concern for his friend.
"No! What did you want?" Roxy snapped
"Shaneece has found one of Amy's teddies in her room; I just wanted to let you know. You are crying! Look I've just closed up, why don't you come here, Amy will sleep better here anyway" he said hearing the arguing in the back ground.
She sighed "Alright we will be there in ten!" she gave in before hanging up and re-applying her makeup. She picked up Amy and carried her to Alfie's.
When Roxy arrived, Alfie had already poured two vodka and cokes. She placed Amy in the spare bed that she always used when Alfie was babysitting her or when Roxy and Alfie were having their late night chats. She then went down and sat next to Alfie at one of the tables by the bar.
"I'm so sorry, I've ruined everything" she sobbed
"Shh, no you haven't!" he insisted
"I have you hate me, don't you" she said wiping her eyes
He wrapped an arm around her "I could never hate my little peroxide" he said and she smiled
"I do love you Granddad" she said before realising "I mean as a friend I mean" she added quickly
He chuckled "I know who wouldn't" he joked receiving a slap on the arm "I love you too my unnatural blonde friend" he teased and she rolled her eyes before pouring out another drink
After a while Alfie sighed "You're a great girl Rox, maybe there could be something between us if..."
"You hadn't found someone better?" she interrupted
"If I wasn't married with a son" he finished and Roxy nodded
"Well I suppose I should go" Roxy said going to collect a sleeping Amy.
As she was walking out the door she stopped "so, I'll see you tomorrow?"
"is that you asking for your job back?" He questioned and she nodded "Well you'll have to ask nicely" he chuckled
"Pretty pretty please Granddad can you give me my job back" She mock begged
"Ah well I suppose" He smiled as Roxy walked out
Alfie's POV
Roxy...Roxy Mitchell is in love with me...Alfie moon. An old man with a loud personality and even louder shirts. What would she see in me? I mean she's the original party girl and I'm just boring. She could have it all... A young handsome man with lots of money who would buy her a big house. But no she sticks round here and falls in love with her best friend... little old me. That would be a problem if I was single. But I'm not. I'm married. With a kid. And a pub too run. Why couldn't things be simpler? I bet there is a man out there who would adore her. A younger, better looking, single man. But she has to fall for the one who can only break her heart. Believe me I don't want to, but I'm with Kat and that's that. But if I really loved Kat and believed in our relationship I wouldn't even be questioning it.
But the problem is I think I'm falling for her too
