Chapter 43:

Zoe was the first to pull away and quickly resort to sipping her wine.

"So, you never told me what the urgent matter was that caused me to break up with my boyfriend." Zoe said as she shot a fake glare at Max.

"Zoe, please don't make me feel bad." Nick said.

"Sorry, it was a joke." She said resting her head on his chest.

"It feels right doesn't it?" Nick asked.

"What does?"

"This. Us." Nick replied as he smiled at her.

"Mhm." Zoe said not wanting to show that she was really thinking about Max.

"Anyway, what was this urgent matter? Is Yvonne's mother okay?" Zoe asked as it had slipped her mind that Yvonne's mother was ill.

"Yes, she is doing well, considering." Nick simply replied.

"Then what is the problem?" Zoe asked as she propped herself up against Nick's chest.

"In all honestly, it was a test."

"What?" Zoe asked confused

"I wanted to see who you would choose me or Max and you chose me which means we can try again Zo and make it work this time." Nick said smiling at Zoe who just stood up in anger.

"Are you telling me that I just ruined a weekend away with my boyfriend who is now no longer my boyfriend all because you were testing me? Please tell me this is a joke Nick." She started raising her voice and Nick just stood and shook his head.

"I love you Zo, you said you loved me on the phone."

"As a friend Nick. We are nothing more than friends. You can't handle seeing me happy, you'd rather me be alone like you." Zoe shouted forcing back the tears.

"What about our kiss then?"

"I was angry at Max and you were there. I cannot believe you." Zoe said as she stormed towards the door.

"Zoe, wait." Nick called after her.

"No Nick. You meddle in people's lives to make your own better but in the making you have got rid of the one person that I truly love." Zoe said as tears streamed down her face as she slammed the door in Nick's face.
