Not Enough Men
AN : Here's chapter three. I decided to carry the whole Alistair in love with Zip thing and so you can see what Zip says.

"I'm sorry Alistair, you what?" Zip asked dumbstruck at what he had been told.
"I said I-" he was stopped mid-sentence as Lara and Kurtis came threw the front door, hand-in-hand, giggling and talking about a clearly gay waiter that had served them at dinner.
"He was clearly gay. Maybe we should tell Alistair about him. He seemed his type." Kurtis laughed but stopped and smiled weakly as Alistair stood before them. He huffed and flung an imaginary hair over shoulder and stormed upstairs into his room. "What's with him?"
"Well, besides you insulting him about being gay. He just told me he loved me." Zip said, his mouth still dropping to the floor.
"So. He told you did you." Lara said looking uncomfortably away, biting her lip as hard as she could to stop her laugh getting out.
"Yes. How am I gonna look him in the eye! I'm straight! Not gay!"
"Look, pal. I dunno. Just talk to him. I'm sure he'll understand.(And if he doesn't like it, there's always that waiter at the restaurant.)" he whispered the last part to Lara.
"Fine. I'll do it in the morning. People are weird at night. He might take it the wrong way and kiss me or kill me. I dunno." he stormed off upstairs to his room, leaving a rather amused Lara and Kurtis staring after him.
Lara slipped into bed next to Kurtis who was sniggering, remembering the earlier events of the day. "You're horrible, making a fool of him like that." she said as she turned the bedside lamp off.
"You can't honestly say that you didn't expect this was coming. The dreamy eyes, drooling, watching where ever he went."
"Goodnight Kurtis."
"Night, sweetheart"

Zip awoke the next morning, a feeling a dread and worry covering him. He was supposed to tell Alistair that he wasn't in love with him and that he was straight. Oh, god. He's gonna kill me. He ventured into the kitchen, sitting down with a cup of tea. He looked around to see Alistair coming in from the garden. Brilliant he thought leaning back in his chair, trying to make himselff comfortable even though he was far from it.
"Alistair. Look. I'm sorry mate. But I'm straight. And I'm not in love with you. Sorry." Zip said to Alistair as Lara and Kurtis entered the kitchen.
Alistair sighed. "I know. Sorry." Zip got up and left the kitchen.
"So. He told ya huh?" asked Kurtis, starting to boil the kettle.
"Yes. But he's not the only man out there. Hello Kurtis."
Kurtis dropped the kettle and rushed behind Lara, looking although he had seen a ghost. "Lara. I'm scared." he whispered to his ear. And she just laughed in return.
