Zoe and Mark's big secret

Chapter 1 - Zoe

I was going to Marks as we planned: I was extremely excited! I got up from the sofa, flirtatiously brushing my hand against Alfie's cheek "I love you so much" I said making my way towards the kitchen. As I was making my cup of tea and avocado toast for my Insta, I guiltily glanced in Alfie's direction. "When am I going to tell him?" I muttered under my breath. 

"Zoe! Can you make me a mocha please?"

"Yeah sure." I replied innocently.

 It was 7 in the morning and I was about to get ready for my main channel video (A reacting to all mine and Mark's funny moments). Smiling, I thought of Mark: his perfect face, his elegant stature, his silky smooth and slightly tanned skin and most importantly of all his comforting and contagious laugh which just fills me with joy. I pass Alfie his mocha with a subtle smirk - knowing what I had done to it made me feel guilty but it was just a short term solution to a long term problem.

 I gazed out of the double glazed windows over my garden and thought to myself what a wonderful life i have as Nala and Buzz were running around the garden chasing each other. Crap! I had to check on Alfie. Rushing down the stairs 2 at a time I was surprised that I hadn't fallen head over heels yet. I peered around the corner of the living room. My heart was racing. Alfie was sleeping, his computer laying across his crotch and his daily vlog was playing, unedited, echoing around our dazzling cream walls. I just had to act casual and pretend that I didn't put sleeping pills in his coffee to make him unconscious and I knew I couldn't drag his 71kg body towards the cellar so I just had to pretend he was just having his "beauty sleep". I smiled to myself and made my way up to the bedroom, Mark's face in my head the whole time...
