Shoulder to cry on *My Story*

[Sarah]

Please be kind ;D

See you through the window; I remember our first kiss, I wish I could tell you how much you’re missed…<br>
Alfie stood staring at her from his bedroom window as she made her way to work. She looked happy; she was smiling, her emerald eyes sparkling in the sun. He pressed his hand up against the window; wishing he could touch her, hold her in his arms, just to be near her again. She didn’t need him any more, not now she had Andy to hold her. Alfie turned his eyes away from the window as he heard her banging on the door. He wiped the tears from his eyes and went to let her in.

Kat: C’mon Alfie! I’m freezing me butt off out ‘ere!

Alfie: Ok darlin’ I’m coming I’m coming!

Alfie unlocked the door and let her in.

Kat: At last! What on earth were ya doing in here, d’ya want your best barmaid to get frostbite?

Alfie: Sorry Kat, I just had a few things to sort out.

Kat: Ok, well I need to talk to you about something.

Alfie: (concerned) What is it, you’re ok aren’t you?

Kat: (laughs) Yeah I’m fine! It’s about the wedding.

Alfie: (his smile fades) Oh right, Ok.

He walks over to the bar and gets him self a drink. Kat follows him and sits down on the other side of the bar.

Kat: Alfie the thing is I really want you to be at the wedding.

Alfie: Yeah you all ready told me that, I said I’d come didn’t I?

Kat: Yeah I know, it’s just you’re my best mate so I want you to be more than just a guest.

Alfie: (confused) You’re not gonna ask me to be a bride’s maid are ya?

Kat: (laughs) I’m sure you would look lovely in a dress but no, that wasn’t what I was going to ask.

Alfie: Well c’mon then Kat, what is it?

Kat: I… well me and Andy want you to be the best man.

Alfie lifted his head and looked straight at Kat, a look of shock and amazement on his face.

Part 2/

Alfie continued to stare at Kat.

Alfie: (confused) You what?

Kat: We want you to be the best man.

Alfie: You want me to be Andy’s best man?

Kat: Yeah, you’ll do it won’t ya?

Alfie: Kat I don’t know about this, are you sure Andy asked for me?

Kat: Yeah, well we both agreed. It would mean so much to me to have you standing next to us, I’m gonna need a bit of encouragement from you.

Alfie: Yeah, well of course I’ll give you encouragement, that’s what mates are for.

Kat: So you’ll do it then?

Alfie: I didn’t say th… (He looked at Kat’s face, her eyes were pleading with him to say yes and he couldn’t bring himself to say no) … Ok of course I’ll do it.

Kat: Oh Alfie! You don’t know how much this means to me!

She ran round the bar and wrapped her arms round him. When she touched him it felt like electricity running through his whole body. He put his arms round her and held her tight. He gently kissed her head and then let go of her.

Alfie: So are we gonna get any work done today?

Kat looked up at him and laughed and for a moment she got lost in his gaze. Their eyes locked and they stared longingly at each other until Alfie broke the silence.

Alfie: Um… I better go and get another barrel up from the cellar.

With that Alfie walked down to the cellar. He felt confused and scared, he didn’t want to be the best man at their wedding and he didn’t even want to go…<br>

[Sarah]

Part 3/

My hearts beating fast and I don’t know what to do, I’m confused and scared and it’s all because of you…<br>
Kat had been telling everyone the “good news” all morning, people kept coming up to Alfie and asking “are you ok with doing that” and “that’s gonna be hard for you isn’t it?” Alfie couldn’t take much more of it so he went up stairs and sat down.

He put his face in his hands and thought about what it would be like to stand there and watch the woman he loved getting hitched to another bloke. He tried to push the thought to the back of his mind but he couldn’t, his eyes filled with tears and he broke down into silent sobs.

Spencer: Alfie? What’s wrong?

Alfie: Oh Spence, how did I let it come to this?

He stood up and Spencer hugged him tight. Tears streamed down his all ready tear stained face. Spencer could feel him shaking against his body.

Kat: ALFIE! I need a hand down here.

Spencer: Just ignore her she can cope.

Spencer sat Alfie down and got him a glass of water.

Spencer: Here, drink this.

Alfie took the glass in his hands but he had to put it down because he was shaking so much.

Spencer: Talk to me Alfie. Is it about the best man thing?

Alfie: I can’t be their best man, I just can’t. There is no way I can stand there and watch her marry someone else.

I had this dream, just after Kat and Andy got engaged, I told her Spence, I told her not to marry him and I asked her to marry me instead and d’ya know what? She said yes. Then I woke up and for a while I thought it was real, then life hit me and I was so disappointed. Stupid aren’t I?

Spencer: No Alfie you’re not stupid, you’re just in love.
Kat: ALFIE! YOU COMING OR WHAT?

Alfie: Ye… yeah, in a minute darlin’<br>
Kat: Good I aint your skivie ya know!

Alfie: (smiled slightly, then says quietly) Yeah I know.

Spencer: You stay here I’ll go.

Alfie: No, she needs both of us down their mate, I’ll be all right.

Alfie goes back down to the bar.

Kat: At last! What the ‘ell were… Alfie what’s wrong? You’ve been crying.

She looked at his tear stained face with a worried expression.

Alfie: I’m fine.

He tried to walk past her but she wouldn’t let him.

Kat: Don’t lie to me Alfie Moon, I can read you like a book.


I’m not a good liar, what should I do? The only thing I’m good at is loving you…<br>

[Sarah]

Part 4/


Alfie looked down at Kat, how could he lie to her?

Kat: Tell me Alfie.

She gently stroked his arm and once again he felt that rush of electricity circulate his body.

Alfie: Ok, well the thing is, I’ve got this friend and she’s going out with this guy.

Kat: Yeah, well what’s wrong with this guy?

Alfie: Nothings wrong with him, well not really, it’s just he’s not good enough for her, she shouldn’t be with him. There’s this other guy who is so in love with her, he can’t stop thinking about her, and she’s running through his mind all day. It gets so bad sometimes, he can’t concentrate on anything, someone would be talking to him and all he’s thinking about is her and deep down she loves him too, I know she does.

Kat: What’s this got to do with you then?

Alfie: Well I can’t let her marr… um I mean be with him, not when she should be with me…<br>
Kat: Oh I see, so you’re the guy…<br>
Something in her mind suddenly clicked and she quickly looked up at Alfie, with a shocked expression on her face. She didn’t know what to say, she was lost for words.

Kat: (quietly) … so who’s the lucky girl then?

She didn’t know why she was asking; she all ready knew the answer. She looked down waiting for him to reply.

He gently placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head up until her eyes met his. She felt the softness of his warm hand on her skin and she began to shake. He held onto her arm to steady her. With his other hand he brushed the hair from her face and looked deep into her eyes.

Alfie: I think you all ready know…<br>
Gazing into your eyes I feel my heart beat fast, you’ve always kept me strong, this love will always last…<br>

Part 5/

Alfie took his hand away from Kat’s face and held onto her hands tightly. She was lost in a different world, a world of her own. Alfies eyes shone brightly and she couldn’t bear to tear her self away from him. She felt so happy, the man of her dreams had just admitted his love for her.

Kat: Alfie I…<br>
Just then the pub doors opened and a familiar voice broke their stare.

Andy: Hello gorgeous.

Kat looked at Andy, she had completely forgotten about him, she quickly pulled her hands away from Alfies grasp.

Kat: Andy, what are you doing here, shouldn’t you be working?

Andy: Yeah but you shouldn’t, you should have been gone ages ago!

Alfie: You can blame me for that one, we were really busy and I asked Kat to help out.

Kat: No I wanted to stay and I still do, I wont be back for ages yet.

Andy: Yeah ya will, I’m taking you out for an expensive meal and I’m not taking no for an answer.

Kat: But…<br>
Andy: No buts, Alfie can manage can’t you mate?

All Alfie wanted to say was no I can’t manage I want Kat to stay here with me, but he couldn’t.

Alfie: Yeah course I can, I’ve got Spencer aint I?

Andy: Cheers Alfie, you’re a pal.

Kat took Andy’s hand and he led her out into the dark. Outside Kat took one last look at the pub and got into the car. Alfie stared at the door… how could he have let her go again?

[Sarah]

Part 6/

Thanks for the replies! J

It was 12:30 and Alfie sat on the sofa crying to himself, he’d done it again, she was gone… with Andy. Why hadn’t he said anything? He could have stopped her from leaving; she could of stayed here with him. Tears streamed down his face, he hugged a pillow close to his chest for comfort. Then a loud banging came from downstairs. Alfie jumped slightly and the banging continued. He got his baseball bat and crept down stairs.

Alfie: Who’s there?

Kat: Alfie! It’s me… please let me in.

Alfie dropped the bat and hurriedly unlocked the door. Kat rushed in and fell into his arms. Alfie didn’t speak he just held her close while she cried into his shirt. Alfie controlled his tears and he took Kat up stairs and sat her down. He went into the kitchen and made her some tea, when he came back she had stopped crying.

Alfie: So what’s this all about then? I’m not used to women knocking on my door at 1 in the morning!

Kat: (Laughs) I’ve got a problem Alfie and I want your advice.

Alfie: Ok, what’s this problem then?

He knelt down on the floor in front of her and listened to what she had to say.

Kat: Well I’ve got this friend and she’s getting married to this guy.

Alfie could see where this was going but he didn’t let on.

Alfie: And does she love this guy?

Kat: No, she tried to convince herself that she did but she doesn’t there’s someone else she loves more and I mean really loves.

Alfie: So who is this guy then?

Kat: I think you know who.

Alfie: (Laughs) yeah I do but I want to hear you say it.

Kat holds onto Alfies hand tightly, he could feel her shaking. They both stood up.

Kat: Alfie Moon I love you…<br>
Alfie pulled Kat towards him until their lips met. They kissed passionately. Kat ran her fingers through his hair while he held his hands around her waist. Alfie pushed her back wards gently in the direction of his bedroom. Kat moaned with pleasure as Alfie ripped off her top, she took her hand and began to undo his jeans. That same electricity was running through his body again but this time it felt ten times better. They fell onto the bed and for the first time they made love…<br>

It's great. Please do some more.

Could you read mine too and tell me how I've done? Thanks,

[Sarah]

Alfie woke the next morning to find Kat warped in his arms. All the memories from the night before cam flooding back and a huge grin spread across his face. He looked down at Kat who slept peacefully in his arms. It was 7:30 and he knew he should be getting the bar ready but he didn’t want to leave Kat, he never wanted to leave her again. He shut his eyes and he drifted back to sleep…

Alfie felt Kat moving; he opened his eyes to find her smiling at him. She looked so happy.

Alfie: Morning darlin’ sleep well?

Kat: Best night’s sleep I’ve ever had. (She flashed him that smile again) I love waking up with you.

Alfie: I love waking up with you too.

They kissed passionately and Alfie moved his body over hers, they began to get more intimate when someone walked in.

Alfie jumped and Kat tried to cover herself up.

Alfie: Spencer what the bloody hell d’ya think you’re doing?

It took a few seconds for Spencer to register what was happening.

Spencer: Oh my god Alfie I’m so sorry I didn’t know, who’s the lucky gi… Oh morning Kat. Um I’m gonna go before I make you any more uncomfortable then you all ready are, I’ll open up shall I?

Alfie: Yeah could ya?

Spencer turns to walk out.

Alfie: Oh and bro, nock next time yeah!

Spencer gave Alfie and embarrassed smile, left and shut the door behind him.

Kat: Well that’s never happened before!

Alfie: Hasn’t put you off has it?

Kat: It’s gonna take a lot more then that to put me off!

Alfie gently kisses Kat and then they both lie back down in each other’s arms.

Alfie: You gonna talk to Andy today?

Kat: Not today, I will… but not today.

Alfie: What so I’ve got ya all to myself?

Kat: (giggles) Looks like it!
