Story 5: Our First Big Fight

How will this fight end?

Zoe POV:

We were at Marcus and Naomi engagement party. I was standing near Alfie and we all had our glass of wine raise to a toast. Jim ask Marcus on how he propose. As Marcus started to tell his story I was looking at Alfie and he looked so handsome in his navy suit. I was so lucky to be with him. He was my everything. He was smiling and listening to Marcus tell his story.

Marcus and Naomi were walking on the beach and he got on one knee. He took her hand and ask her to marry him. She smile and said yes. We all clap. A few hours later the party was coming to an end and we were talking to Jim and Tanya. When Jim said to Alfie "so Alfie when are you going to propose to Zoe?" Alfie laugh and said "not until a few years later, I'm only 21 years old." He also said "maybe when I am 25 years old." Jim said "oh, that long." Jim also said to Alfie "is Zoe OK with that." Alfie said "she wants to wait too, right Zoe." I smile and nod my head but I thought to myself; that long really.

As I was driving home, what Alfie said just stuck in my head. Alfie was talking the whole ride home and I was just getting mad at what said he. When we got home and I put my night gown on. A few minutes later I was sitting on the couch watching TV with Alfie when he said "Zoe you have been quiet since we left the party." He also said "Zoe are you OK?" I turn to Alfie and just blow up at him. I told him I was mad at him because he just thinks I agree with him about getting in engage. I said Alfie I am 25 years old and not getting younger. I also said I would like to be marry in less than two years, marry to you.

Alfie got off the couch and started to get mad at me. He shouted "Zoe I'm not ready to get marry or will I be in two years." We fought for an hour about the topic of marriage. I said to Alfie I don't want to be marry when I'm 30 years old. Alfie said "Zoe, 30 years old is a good age to get marry because I'll be ready in five years for marriage. We also started to fight about how many kids we wanted. I wanted one and Alfie wanted three. After another twenty minutes we came to agreement. We agree on having two kids but Alfie wouldn't change his mind on marriage topic.

He walked over to me and kiss me on the forehead and said "Zoe, I don't want to fight anymore because I'm tired." He also said "just sleep on it and you'll see I'm right about this marriage thing in the morning." I slap him and push him away. I said to him, Alfie sleep in the guess bedroom because you're not sleeping with me tonight. I storm off and went to our bedroom. I was so mad that I couldn't sleep; around 3 am I walk to the kitchen. When I saw Alfie at the table drinking tea.

I walk pass him and went to the counter. A minute later I felt Alfie's arms around me, he gave me a kiss on the neck. He said "Zoe how about in three years we get marry?" I turn around and smile to say yes that sounds good to me. We both smile and started to kiss. Alfie said "Zoe that was our first real fight and I don't want to do that again." He also said "I love you and I don't ever want to lose you." I said I love you too and let's not fight again. I kiss Alfie more deeply and whisper in his ear let's go back to our bedroom to have sex. Alfie smile and whisper in my ear "yes, little one let's do."

As we were walking to the bedroom I thought to myself I'm glad we came to agreement about marriage and having kids. I also thought Alfie is the love of my life and I don't want to marry and have kids with anyone else. I also thought Alfie is a great boyfriend and I know he will be a wonderful husband and father.
