Chapter 1

He sat in his large New York office, pouring over some documents, concentrating on the next case he was dealing with. His window was open, the warm humid air filling his office as siren blared down in the streets. He hardly heard them anymore as he had been in New York for a year now. It all took some getting used to when he first arrived, not used to the changing seasons, the bitter February cold, all the people in the streets who hurried past him, pushing him out of his way if he walked too slow.

He looked up as the door to his office opened. His secretary in the doorway peeking her head in, looking at him through her thick glasses. "Sir? Your one o'clock appointment just arrived."

"I'll be right there Susan, thank you." He said giving her a small and friendly smile. She nodded at him and closed the door softly behind her. He could hear her heels clicking-clacking back to her desk.

He sighed, grabbed the papers from his desk and glanced at the photo of his love on his desk before getting up from his chair to meet his one o'clock appointment.

As the day wore on, he got more annoyed with all the clients he had to deal with. If he had to handle one more "banker – Stepford bride housewife divorce" his head would probably blow off. He was in need for some fun and relaxation.

As if just on cue, his office phone rang. It was Susan. "Sir, it's your wife, she's asking if you want to go to dinner?"

"Just put her through Susan."

"She's here actually, at the front desk."

He let out a loud laugh. Of course she was already here. "Well Susan, tell my wife I'll be right there." He quickly yanked his suit jacket from the back of his chair and hurried out of the door. As he approached the front desk he saw her standing there.

She had her back to him, but it was unmistakably her. Her chestnut hair pulled back in a ponytail, a black tank top, long legs in tiny shorts finished off with high heels that looked impossible to walk on. But yet she managed it every time he saw her.

She heard him approach and turned around, her face breaking into a massive smile when she saw him. "George!" She walked over to him and embraced him in warm hug, which he happily returned.

When she pulled back she looked at him gleefully and said. "If I would have known I was your wife now, I would have made sure I'd got to see you more often."

"You are my New York wife, besides you actually see more of me than my fiancé does." He told her chuckling at the ridiculous thought of her ever being his wife.

"About that, when is she actually moving to New York?" Zoe could not understand how Lemon and George managed to maintain a healthy relationship being apart for nearly a year now. With only having seen each other 3 times in the last year.

She couldn't even have a normal relationship. Not even if the guy would move in next door. Her life was just way too busy for a normal relationship. Her friendship with George was the healthiest relationship she ever had in her life.

"I wouldn't know Zoe, she keeps putting it off. Sometimes I feel like we're going to be stuck in this weird limbo forever." George replied with a sad look on his face.

"But she does seem to want to move to New York when she visits here." Zoe said as they made their way towards the elevator. She remembered the many talks with Lemon over glasses of wine at the penthouse whenever George was working late. Keeping Lemon company, trying to convince her, for George's sake, to move to New York. Even if it was only temporarily. Often she believed she really convinced Lemon to move to New York, but it never happened.

Lemon had however renamed Zoe as her placeholder, until she was reunited with George forever. Obviously there were places Zoe wasn't allowed to go, but Lemon figured, having Zoe as George's friend as much as hers, would only be an advantage. At least it kept any women at bay from George.

As George and Zoe walked into Per se for dinner, they were still on the subject of bringing Lemon to New York and talked about a few schemes to get her to move to New York.

George walked into the apartment, threw his keys on the little table in the hallway and walked straight to the kitchen. It was nearing midnight, yet he was hungry as a horse. When he walked into the kitchen he saw Zoe sitting there, eating marshmallows from a bag.

He let out a soft laugh. "So we won't be seeing more of Hank are we?"

"Nope." Zoe said in a manner than only meant "And I don't want to talk about it," whilst stuffing more marshmallows into her mouth. "We went to splitsville. Maybe I should just move there, I heard it's a great place for people like me."

He laughed at her comment and ruffled her hair. "It will happen Zoe, i know it will. Whenever you take the time off work and make some more time for yourself."

"So you mean never? You know I love my job." She said indignantly.

"Does it love you back the way you love it?' He asked her.

She didn't answer him back but scowled at him instead.

"Oke then." He said. Relationships were never her favorite subject, he decided to change the subject before she drove herself crazy by overanalyzing.

"You're still okay with Lemon coming over in 6 weeks?"

"Of course George, don't be weird. You do live here. No need to ask me for permission, I'm only your placeholder wife. Besides, the house is big enough for 6 people to comfortably live in." She said as she moved her arm around as if she was showing him the house for the first time. "As long as you guys don't do it in the kitchen or my new couch I'm fine with it."

He scrunched up his face but chuckled at her words. "I still can't believe your parents bought you this penthouse Zoe."

"It was a buyout." Penthouse instead of love. I now have a penthouse and parents who don't care or even call..."

"Im sure they care Zoe, they just have a different way of showing it."

"Don't be sentimental George. Since I've known you, have you ever seen my parents? Have you ever spoken to them? Have they ever called me that you know of? Because they sure as hell never contacted me. They don't even know you live here." She snorted a mirthless laugh and stuffed another marshmallow in her mouth.

George looked at his friend getting worked up over her parents. For the life of him he couldn't understand why her parents ignored their daughter. Besides her being a bit neurotic and snobbish at times, she really was one of the best friends he ever had. The only female friend he ever had besides Lemon, but that was different. He knew he wanted to marry Lemon the moment he met her.

He was very glad Lemon and Zoe got along however, Lemon not being the most trusting person he knew. But when she met Zoe that first time when he finally convinced her to come over and visit New York, they got on like a house on fire. He had been very worried Lemon would have problems with George sharing with Zoe, but funnily enough she had been nothing but impressed with Zoe and the apartment. It did help of course that his bed and bathroom were on the opposite end of the apartment, so it wasn't too awkward for Lemon having George live with Zoe.

"So what is the plan for your birthday this weekend?" She asked him, walking into the livingroom sitting down next to him on the sofa and turning on the tv.

"I don't really know. I don't have any plans, Lemon said she couldn't make it till the weekend after my birthday, so I might just celebrate it a week later." He signed as he leaned back into the couch and took a sip from the wine Zoe handed him.

XxxxxxxX

"Zoe are you sure he doesn't expect a thing?" Lemon asked her over the phone.

"Nothing at all Lemon, it's going to be great." Zoe said happily.

"And are you sure we can all stay at yours?"

"Yes Lemon, stop freaking out. It's all fine. So it's you, Lavon, Annabeth and Wade that are coming over?"

"Indeed."

"Just making sure again that Lavon Hayes, linebacker of the Crimson tide is going to stay at my house?!"

"Ugh yes Zoe. How many times do I have to confirm?"

"I'm just so excited." Zoe squealed happily.

"So are Lavon and Annabeth a couple?"

"Why do you ask?" Lemon asked suspiciously.

"I have only two spare bedrooms, so either Lavon and Wade have to bunk up or Lavon and Annabeth."

"They're not a couple and Lavon and Wade will be fine bunking up I'm sure."

"Good, because the person sleeping next to my bedroom is sharing my bathroom, so I'll have Annabeth stay in the small guest room. I won't mind having her coming into my bedroom."

"So the evening is all planned out Zoe? Are you sure you have it all?"

"Yes mom." She mocked, stop worrying." I'll have you all picked up from the airport, I have already booked the cars, you can get the key from the doorman like you usually do and then you guys can go up to the apartment first to freshen up and have a rest and I'll take him to the Capital Grille on the Friday for dinner and you guys just walk in as a surprise, it's not that difficult."

"I just want everything to be perfect for my Georgie." Lemon gushed.

"Please don't call him Georgie." Zoe begged.

"Gosh you sound like Wade..."

"Who?"

"Wade, he's Georgies friend, he's coming Friday. I just told you about him Zoe."

"Ah yeah, I know. Well can't wait to finally meeting his friends. Especially Lavon, Zoe said excitedly, and you of course..." She finished jokingly.

"Yeah yeah, sure. Lemon said. See you soon Zoe!"

XxxxxxxX

Friday

Friday arrived quicker than expected. Zoe and Lemon had spoken on the phone several times to perfect George's birthday. Lemon made an entire itinerary for the week they were going to stay, making sure everyone was taken care of and had loads of activities to do during the day.

She even made Zoe take some time off from work to give them a tour around New York.

George was still none the wiser and still believed Lemon to arrive the very next weekend to come over to celebrate his birthday.

Zoe made sure Susan, George's secretary, had kept the upcoming week for George free, which actually deemed quite a challenge as George preferred booking his own appointments, as he felt Susan had enough work to do to begin with.

George was finishing up at work, awaiting the arrival of his New York wife to go out for dinner. He appreciated her taking the day off work to spend it with him to go out for dinner as she had been very busy at work lately. He actually hadn't seen her for a week now. A soft knock on his door brought him out of his reverie.

A bunch of colorful balloons swooped into his office, followed by a head full of brown hair. She smiled at him when she entered the office. "Happy birthday!" She sang loudly.

"Hey Zoe, thank you, he said as he accepted the ridiculous balloons from her hand and a birthday hug. "Tell me I'm not taking these out onto the streets Zoe."

"If you don't, you'll be eating by yourself." Zoe threatened. Zoe and Lemon came up with the idea of the balloons, so when Lemon arrived with Annabeth, Lavon and Wade they could sneak up on George whilst they were in the restaurant.

"Ugh... I look like a complete fool Zoe." He said, as they walked down the street.

Zoe chuckled, he looked like a fool alright. Zoe guided him down the street and around a corner.

"Hey, where are you going? George asked, stopping dead in the street. He turned around and pointed towards the opposite direction. "Per se is that way."

"I'm not taking you to Per se."

"Where are we going?"

"It's called a surprise George, just trust me on this."

They walked for a while, before they turned a corner and he saw the Capital Grille, he had heard great stories about it but had never been there before. They walked towards the door which sche opened for him and gave him a slight bow as she said, "After you birthday boy."

They were met by the hostess who asked for their name, before George could speak, Zoe moved forward and said. "I have reservations, the name is Zoe Hart." Giving the hostess a knowing look. She didn't want George to catch onto the surprise.

"Yes ma'm, I'm sorry to inform you that we only have a larger table available, I really hope you don't mind. I can clean the rest of the table if you would like?"

"No it's fine, you don't have to do that. You can leave it all, it won't bother us." She said smiling to the hostess, mouthing a "thank you" to her when she was sure George wasn't looking.

He went to sit down, facing the door but Zoe quickly moved towards that seat.

"Zoe, what are you doing?"

"You know how I prefer to sit facing the door George, keeps me sane."

He signed and took the other chair, "Well whatever keeps you sane, don't want you any crazier than you already are."

She playfully hit him on his arm as they sat down, sipping the water that was placed on the table as George looked around the restaurant.

"Why have we never been here? It looks great."

"The food is great too." Zoe had been before and it was indeed great. But the real reason they were here was because Lemon had told her that both Lavond and Wade, not very much unlike herself enjoyed a good steak. She had asked Zoe to find a steak restaurant that would live up to her high standard. Zoe asked around at work for some references and the Capital had come up several times.

Lemon had looked at their website, called the restaurant and finally deemed it good enough for her Georgie.

Zoe glanced at her phone that started vibrating.

"On our way now, are you at the table?"

"Yes we are, balloons are in place as well. Just ask the hostess for the table for Zoe Hart."

"Thank you, see you soon, excited!"

"Zoe? Are you okay?" George asked her.

"Yes why?"

"Is it Hank again?"

"No, she laughed, why do you ask?"

"You were smiling at your phone, seemed like you were texting someone you really like."

"Nah, it was just something funny but not important, she said as she put her phone down again. Sorry about that, my eyes are back on the birthday boy now. So how does it feel to be 30?"

"Wouldn't know, I was born 11 pm." He joked.

She laughed as she saw a familiar blonde enter the restaurant, followed close by a very tall black man, and a man and woman she didn't recognize. She realised the surprise had finally arrived, she tried to keep her smile on her face and looked back at George, not willing to give anything away.

"Wow, you are so funny George, she said sarcastically as she saw the group approaching. Having spotted the balloons near George's chair.

"But you can't evade being 30 any longer…." She finished as Lemon flung her arms around George's neck with a very loud squeal that had several people turning their heads to look at their table.

"Georgie! She exclaimed loudly.

"Lemon?!" He said in surprise.

"Surprise! They all yelled, as Lavon, who was hard to miss, came into George's view. George also heard two other familiar voices yelling surprise, although he could not see them as Lemon had him in a tight bone crushing hug.

Lemon finally let go of him and he looked for the other people, as he spotted Lavon, who gave him a firm hand a friendly slap on his shoulder. Followed by Annabeth who kissed him and gave him a hug. Behind Annabeth Wade appeared, all smiles as he spotted his best friend. They hugged, it had been a year since he'd seen his lifelong friend. Only now as his friend was in front of him again, did he realise how much he had missed his friends.

Lemon moved over to Zoe and hugged her tight, as she released her, she introduced Zoe to her friends. Zoe nearly died as she was introduced to Lavon, in her excitement she never heard what he said to her, she could only smile broadly coming close to being starstruck. Lemon pulled Lavon away from Zoe and introduced her to Annabeth who excitedly hugged her and told her she was very happy to finally meet her. The guy who was leaning back a bit, who had been looking at her since he came in was introduced to her.

She finally took the time to really looked at him and was met with a piercing green eyed gaze and a cheeky smile that made blush profusely.

She didn't really understand how that stupid smirking small town hick had her blushing and all nervous, but he did. He looked at her intently, their eyes locking. Zoe felt her brain go fuzzy as he spoke in a deep southern drawl introducing himself as Wade.

It made her stomach do flips and she felt lost for words. She stumbled on her words as she said "Nice uh…. Nice to meet you Zoe...I mean, I am Zoe, eh my name is Zoe, nice to meet you...Wade"

She finished it off with an uncharacteristic giggle that made George frown at her.

She sat down quickly ignoring George's questioning look and buried her face in the menu until she could regain her composure. They all sat down and Zoe made sure she sat down next to Lavon.

To her dismay Wade sat down opposite her, his intense gaze upon her again.

She felt nervous with his eyes on her and she couldn't shake it off as much as she tried. She tried to concentrate on Lemon instead, who was speaking excitedly about their trip, how excited they were to surprise George and the penthouse. She thanked Zoe again for letting them all stay at her penthouse and how much she liked being there together to celebrate Georgie's 30th birthday.

Lavon cleared his throat when Lemon took a moment to breathe after rambling in, giving her a knowing look and she fell silent as all eyes moved to Lavon. Zoe noticed that the bubbly Annabeth now looked a bit shy when Lavon cleared his throat.

"Ahem...I uh, I just wanted to tell you all, officially, that me and Annabeth are an item."

Zoe was shocked at the general reaction of the people around her. Lemon whooped and shouted "I knew it, I knew it!" as Wade punched the air and then slapped his hand hard on the table and then high fived Lavon. All whilst Annabeth looked on with a wide smile on her face.

The biggest surprise for Zoe came, when Wade placed his hand in front of George and made a beckoning motion to him, as George tried to secretly slip him a $20 note in his hand. "Did they make a bet?" She thought to herself but decided to ask George about that later.

Wade smirked as he closed his hand around the $20,- note and said. "Told ya Tucker."

Zoe couldn't believe what was happening around her. George's friends were treating this news as if it was the king and queen of England presenting their first child to the world. This is not how things normally went down in New York.

When the initial shock wore off she asked the table. "What just happened?! They only announced that they are a couple. What is with all the excitement?"

"Zoe, George started. I told you, Bluebell is a very small town, any news is like world news to us. Which we always love to celebrate. Have you not been keeping up with the Bluebell blawker? Annabeth and Lavon been the talk of the town for 3 months now!"

She sighed as she sat back into her chair as Wade started to speak. "So that means I'm sleepin' by myself this entire week?"

Annabeth's face turned crimson but Lavon spoke confidently.

"Yes Wade, you'll be sleeping by yourself tonight. Surely you don't mind."

He lifted up his glass as in a celebration and winked at Lavon. "For you Lavon, anythin'."

Zoe then realised the room she had reserved for Annabeth, would become Wade's room. That room next to bedroom, the one that would be sharing her bathroom as she had anticipated Annabeth sharing her bathroom.

She cursed herself now as she glanced at Wade. She caught Wade's eye for a second who gave her a seductive look and bit his bottom lip, a warm glow creeping up her cheeks once again. She quickly turned her attention to Lavon instead, hammering him on questions about football.

XxxxxxxX

They had been one of the few last groups in the restaurant. The evening had been filled with laughs, lots of alcohol and great food. George couldn't be happier with his friends and fiancé around him again.

The new lovers had been stealing glances and a few kisses whenever they could as much as Lemon and George had.

Zoe had tried all evening to ignore Wade's piercing glances and broad smile as much as possible. They made her all hot and bothered. Why was she even feeling like this. It was not like her, having some hick from a small town leaving her all weak and stuttering.

As they were all in need for some fresh air, Zoe suggested they walk back to the house instead of taking cabs home. She had not however anticipated George and Lemon walking hand in hand, and Annabeth and Lavon doing exactly the same thing. Wade was quick to notice this and offered Zoe his arm, hesitantly she pulled her hand through his arm. The sensation of their skin touching electrified her skin and warmed her on the inside. She gasped slightly at the sensation but was fast to blame in on the chilly air.

"So doc, George tells me you're a surgeon?" Wade said casually.

"I am, a cardiothoracic surgeon like my dad."

"So ya from a family full of brainiacs? He jokingly said as he nudged her slightly.

"I guess you could say that."

"What is it that you do Wade?" She asked him. She felt more at ease now they were talking about casual subjects.

"I'm in the process of buyin' a bar. I've worked there for a long time and the owner is sellin' it to me. These are very busy times for me but I could never miss George's 30th birthday. That and he kept talkin' about his new best female friend, Zoe Hart. Can't deny I was a bit curious."

"You sure you didn't want to make sure we were only just friends?"

He chuckled at her comment. "Maybe a lil' bit, George is a Southern gentleman of the old. He doesn't always notice when someone is crushin' on him. He still puts his complete trust in people, believin' people around him always have the best intentions like he does."

"Well, I am not crushing on him, she said chuckling at the thought, but you are right about George, I remember that George when he just arrived in York. It has been a difficult, but eye opening ride for him."

"How do you actually know him? He never said."

"He handled my prenuptials."

"Prenuptials?"

She sighed deeply. She never enjoyed having this conversation, but they were already talking about it, so she decided to tell him anyway.

"I was engaged before, she said slowly as she glanced towards Wade. He didn't seem to react weirdly to this news. And because of my mother's business, it's normal to have prenuptials. You know, to protect your financial assets."

"Financial assets? Doc aren't you only like 30?"

"29" She cut him off.

He laughed, "sorry 29. An' already thinkin' of your assets?" He looked at her and flashed her his cheeky smile. As far as I can see you have some great assets."

She hit him playfully on the arm. "Financial assets I said!"

"Ah yeah." So like the penthouse?

"More like being an only child and heir to my parents eh, successes." She felt like such a spoilt snob saying those words, it was like she was becoming her own mother.

"Where is he tonight? Your fiancé? "

"Ex-fiancé," she interjected.

"He didn't like the prenup?"

"He preferred my cleaning lady."

Wade stopped walking for a moment, making the hurried man behind him walk right into his muscular back.

"Hey watch it!" The man shouted as he shook his head and muttered something about "damn tourists."

"He preferred your cleaning lady? Oh that's harsh Zoe."

"And cliché."

"You don't seem to broken up about it, Wade said. He noticed she talked about her ex-fiancé in a very matter of fact way.

"I'm not, my mother was a bigger fan of him than I was actually, there's not really a lot to say." She said with a friendly finality in which she made it clear she was done with the subject.

"But back to your first question, that's how I met George as he handled the prenuptials. When we broke up, I went to see him again, I had to get some paperwork done. We got talking, eventually went for lunch together and he asked me if I knew some places he could move into, as his first apartment was only temporarily and the lease got terminated. I told him he could stay at mine for the time being, until he found his own place, but he's been such a great roommate and friend that I asked him to stay. Were both very busy at work anyway, so sometimes I don't get see him for like a week."

"Are you sure that's not just because of the size of your apartment?" Wade joked.

"It's a bit on the large side, she agreed, another reason why I like having George around." Zoe really couldn't care less about the apartment. She was actually quite jealous of George sometimes, with his parents and brother in his life and now these life long friends coming all the way up to New York to celebrate his birthday with him.

XxxxxxxX

When they arrived back at the house, George made all of them a coffee from Zoe's elaborate coffee machine. She noticed Wade just wanted a black coffee, no flavours.

They all sat down in the comfortable sitting room, talked and relaxed together as Annabeth sat next to Zoe to ask her all about New York and her life.

When Lemon finished her coffee she was quick to announce she was very tired from her trip and was ready to call it a night, bidding them all a goodnight, George following her to his bedroom.

Lavon Annabeth and Wade left to move Annabeth's suitcase to Wade's new bedroom.

Zoe went to get ready for the night as well and closed the bedroom door behind her. It was already late and debated with herself if she should take a shower now or in the morning. She glanced at the fresh sheets on her bed and thought it be better to take a shower now, as the feeling of fresh sheets was always much better after a shower.

When she immersed from her bathroom wrapped in a towel, she collided with something hard.

"Oommmppfff" she heard when she looked up, her face very close to Wade's bare chest.

Realisation hit her fast when she realised she had walked into him, both of them only wearing a towel. She could feel the heat creeping up to her cheeks again.

"Doc?" Are you okay? Wade asked as he stepped back a bit, which only gave Zoe a better view of his body which wasn't helping with the situation. He had a fluffy pink towel wrapped around his hips, leaving the rest of his very well toned body exposed. She couldn't help but stare as she stuttered.

"Yes…...good, you uhh….the bathroom..." She pointed at the bathroom she just left, clutching the towel closer to herself, suddenly very aware of her own exposure.

"I knocked on your bedroom door before I came in, the other shower is taken…" He started.

"It's fine, she said as she grabbed her bathrobe from the hook on the open bathroom door and wrapped it around herself. She looked up at him. She could tell he had been looking at her in only her towel, a remainder of a smirk left on his face before he could straighten his face again when she looked at him.

"I had a really great time tonight Zoe. Thank you again for letting us all stay here." He said, his voice much softer now. Zoe realised he was standing very close to her, yet she hadn't seen him move towards her. She wanted to move back from him, but something was keeping her there, rooted to the spot as he moved even closer.

She didn't know who started it, but suddenly her lips were on his, his surprisingly soft lips pressing onto hers, the kiss was urgent yet sweet. She parted her mouth slightly when she felt his tongue against her lips, giving him access. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moved her hands through his hair as he deepened the kiss. He wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her closer to him. He pulled apart the sash that kept her robe together, pulling it off her shoulders, leaving them in nothing but towels. He moved a hand to the hem of her towel, stroking the back of her upper leg and slowly moved his hand up higher, moving his mouth to her neck, leaving a wet trail of kisses. She moaned loudly at the sensation and moved her hands to his chest, stroking his abs, moving her hands slowly down to the top of his towel.

A loud knock on the door forced them apart as they heard Annabeth's voice outside the door.

"Zoe?"

Zoe pushed Wade off her and into the bathroom, slamming the bathroom door shut behind him and pulled the bathrobe around her as Annabeth walked into her bedroom. Zoe quickly tried to regain her breathing and looked at Annabeth.

"Hey Annabeth." She said, trying to sound innocent yet reeling from the encounter with Wade just seconds before. What can I help you with?"

"I uh, I was looking for Wade, I think I left my charger in his room. I knocked on his door, when I thought I heard his voice coming from your room."

"Yes he's using this shower, she said, pointing behind her where she had pushed Wade into the bathroom. She heard him turn on the shower. Annabeth raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"You and me were supposed to share this bathroom, she said as she tried to explain the situation to Annabeth, but since you and Wade switched bedrooms, you know."

"Oh Zoe, I'm so sorry, I never meant for you to be uncomfortable."

Zoe placed a hand on Annabeth's shoulder, it's fine. He can use the main one tomorrow. They were just all taken tonight so I let him use this one instead."

"Ok, thank you again Zoe, for everything and for letting us stay. I'll just go into his room and grab my charger. Goodnight Zoe." She said as she left the room.

"Night."

Zoe sat on her bed for a moment, she couldn't help the smile that crept on her lips as she remembered the encounter she just had with Wade, but it soon disappeared when she started analyzing.

What was she thinking?! She couldn't hook up with Wade! She wasn't that kind of person! He was hot, yes. Very hot actually. But she had to nip it in the bud before things got out of hand. It was not like things could go anywhere anyway, he was only here for a week. She would not become his plaything for a week.

She quickly changed into her pajamas, and left the bedroom, closing the door quietly behind her. She walked into the kitchen, grabbed a small glass of wine and waited until she heard the sound of her bedroom door opening and Wade's room closing.

"Crisis averted." She thought to herself.
