Wade lay there on his side with his hand on his head holding his weight, the heat of the morning sun shone in on the bed but still didn't manage to wake Zoe. She was so peaceful and silent as she lay flat on her back he scanned her up and down as her listened to her breathing pattern, it was light and very barely made a sound. He had never noticed it before, they had spent nights together before but never like this for the first time since the night of the wedding, there was something special about last night.

He studied her for a few minutes longer before his phone sounded, he sat up to notice it was over on her side of the bed. Anxious not to wake her, he slowly reached over and grabbed the phone from the bed locker still she didnt move as he checked his phone, it was a text from Lavon reading ' Hey man, you coming over for Christmas breakfast ? Zoe hasnt appeared yet so you may be ok'. Wade laughed and that was enough to awaken Zoe, as she shuffled around in the bed Wade looked down at her.

'Oh sorry, I didnt mean to wake you' he said in a soft tone.

' Oh well that's the final straw, waking me at 11:30am, we're over ' Zoe joked as she turned to face Wade.

'Hi' she said as she leaned in to kiss him, she placed her hands on his chest and slowly up along his neck before resting on his face. 'Hi' he replied as he pulled her closer, he wrapped his arms around her and slowly moved around that he was on top of her neither could stop smiling as they embraced in a series of passionate kisses before the phone rang again, this time someone was calling.

Zoe sighed as Wade searched for the phone, ' Yeah ' he said as he sat up in the bed he could hear Lavons voice on the other end of the phone as he searched for a shirt ' Yeah Wade, I have Zoe's mom sittin' in my kitchen without Zoe you eh wanna tell me what's going on ' Wade smiled as he noticed Zoe standing by the bed wearing nothing but his shirt. ' Yeah Lavon we'll be over in a few ' he hung up before Lavon had a chance to say anything.

Wade walked towards Zoe and linked his arms over her head before resting them on the small of her back. ' So did it ever occur to you that last night you being here meant your mother being alone, with Lavon' Zoe laughed as he messed with Wades blonde chest hairs ' Yes that did cross my mind but I was a little busy' she said as she kissed him.

About 30 minutes later Wade was sitting on the front steps on Zoe's house fiddling with his phone he could never understand how such a small woman could take so long getting ready, what possibly could she be doing ? ' Zoe come on, Christmas will be over by the time your done' he stood up and turned around to see Zoe standing on the porch, she was wearing the pink dress she wore on her date with Ruby's cousin Zach.

' You look gorgeous Zoe ' he said as he helped her down the steps and locked their hands together. She kissed him on the cheek as they headed for Lavons
