So this is my second fanfic, but the first one I wrote about four years ago. I started watching Hart of Dixie this and I just Love Wade/ Zoe, so after considering it for a while I decided to start writing again. As said i the summary these events take place after Sweetie Pie Dance. I would really appreciate you reviews and I think that you should also know that English is not my native language so please forgive me for my grammar errors :) And this story is named after a song by Kate Voegele. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1. Wanted You More

"Are you absolutely sure about this Zoe?"

"Just keep 'em coming Shelly, and widen your selection while you're at it"

"Just so you know, ice cream is not really on our menu, so you're eating my secret stash I keep in the freezer for me", said Shelly as she placed third and last one of her Ben and Jerry ice cream boxes in front of the town doctor, who was now scraping the last spoonful of the Cookie dough ice cream before opening the next one .

"Then why did you give me any in the first place?" Zoe asked feeling bad enough to pass Shelly a spoon as well.

"Seriously girl? You have been sitting here and moping for hours, not to even mention the fact that I heard what you almost did to Agnes after she told you she didn't have blueberry pie", Shelly said as she dug her spoon in the ice cream as well.

"I'm not the one to blame for that, she had made only pies with berries that I don't like, cherry, strawberry, peach-"

"Peach is not a berry", Shelly pointed carefully, but realized it had been a mistake when she saw Zoe narrowing her eyes at her.

"Whose side are you on?" Zoe said a little louder than she intended to and earned a few glances from the three ladies who were knitting in the corner with a can of lemonade on the table and making small talk.

"Hold on sister and take a breather", Shelly tried to calm down the woman who was looking scarier by the minute. She decided it was better to change the subject before Zoe scared of the only customers who were at the Rammer Jammer at this time of day, when people were still at work. However in few hours it would get busier. Zoe had been there since it was a slow day at the office. However she was on call hence the ice cream. If it was Brick's turn she would probably be drinking the wine they kept at the Rammer Jammer especially for her.

"I'm sorry Shelly it's just-"

"I know"

"You do?"

"Everybody knows you've been a little down ever since the handsome vet doctor dumped your ass after the Sweetie Pie Dance"

"Great, that's just great"

"News travel fast in this town"

"I know that but I didn't expect that 'the break-up' would be the talk of the town in less than 24 hours "

"Well you know what they say, news travel fast but bad news travel faster than a dog in heat", Shelly expressed her opinion.

"Who says that again?" Zoe asked with a doubtful look on her face as she dipped her spoon in the ice cream.

"Well… I do", Shelly said and started to fill the shelves with clean glasses and cups. "Don't be upset you're not the only single girl out there", she tried to cheer her up. "I'm single and I'm doing just fine!"

"Really, because two weeks ago you drunk dialed me and cried to me about never finding a man", Zoe stated before checking the time from her phone. It was a little after four which meant that soon there would be-

"Wade, you're late as usual", Shelly ignored Zoe's statement and took off her apron and went to the back room through a door with a sign 'only staff' leaving Zoe alone at the bar counter.

"How ya'll lovely ladies doing on this fine evening?" Wade asked from the ladies in the corner as he chewed his gum and approached the counter. "Hi Doc", he said when he passed Zoe - who ignored him and didn't reply - and went to wash his hands. Zoe tried to gather her things quickly so she could leave before he came back but she had been sitting there for almost two hours and had managed to invade better part of the counter with her make-up, magazines, well basically she had emptied her entire DKNY bag from its content, so it was obvious he would be back before she could sneak out in her high heels. Zoe couldn't believe this she should've left the Rammer Jammer earlier to avoid this. But she had been occupied by Shellys' secret ice cream stash, self-pity and her phone beeping non-stop and flashing her mother's name in the screen. After the incident with Wade last night she had stayed in and tried to understand why he would do something like that. She could absolutely believe that he would bet on how long she would date Judson, but he had never been this cruel to her, at least not to her face. She knew she had approached him the wrong way, but still that's not an excuse to make fun of her and flaunt with the money he was going to spend on his flavor of the month Joelle. Oh god if she gets here before I leave I'm going to lose it, then again then Wades house would be empty and I could get my shampoos back… Zoe was snapped out of her thoughts by Wade.

"How long have you been here? It's like a fashion magazine threw up on my counter" Zoe tried to gather her things as fast as possible, but she didn't say a word. "What you're not talkin' to me now?" He leaned on a little closer, "I think that's a little childish".

Zoe chuckled and muttered under her breath, "You're one to talk"

"What's that Doc?" he asked and he got the answer, just not like thought he would. Zoe took the ice cream cup and shoved it to his face.

"That childish enough for you?" Zoe asked and continued filling her bag. Wade gave her a little laugh while getting some of the ice cream off his face.

"You two can't be left alone for a minute can you?" Shelly exclaimed with her hands crossed over her chest. She came to the counter, "Honey let me help you", she said and took the bag from Zoe. With a one large move with her hand she tugged all of Zoe's stuff to her bag.

"Are you crazy, it was perfectly organized!"

"Yeah Shelly you know that Doc will lose her sleep if yo-"

"Let's just get going", Shelly interrupted Wade and took Zoe by the arm and led out of the bar. Before the door closed they could hear Wade asking "Since when have we served ice cream?"

After she got home for a moment Zoe actually considered snatching her guava shampoos back from across the pond, but then she saw Joelle on the other side apparently sun bathing, so she decided to abandon the idea, or at least move it to another day. Besides she felt that the games were played. Now that she thought of last night she felt embarrassed. She almost 30 years old doctor was pranking her neighbor like an 8th grader. Rosie was right Wade acted like an 8th grader, but how did she Zoe Hart fell in to his level? Then there was the whole Judson thing. She knew there wasn't remarkable sparks between them, and it wasn't the ultimate love story, but Judson had liked her and it would have been enough for a little while at least. Suddenly it hit Zoe, she needed to talk to someone. She searched her phone from her purse not finding it till it rang for what seemed like a 100th time that day. She waited till her mom gave up, she just didn't feel like explaining the whole thing about Judson at the moment. She hit number two on her speed dial.

"Lavon? Are you home? Great. I'll be there in a few, okay, thanks bye!"

Lavon Heyes knew that Zoe would come talk to him about last night before she even called him. After all he was probably her best friend in Bluebell and she had a tendency of telling him a little too much about her private life. Then again it was nice to have a woman as friend. He might have helped Zoe in tough situations, but she had done the same for him. Lavon knew what Zoe would tell her, because this morning he had heard the story from Wade. Now he wanted to know how much of it was true. Wade hadn't been himself this morning at breakfast so he had confronted him.

"Come on Wade, you and I both know something is bothering you", Lavon said after he watched for ten whole minutes how Wade moved his CornFlakes around the plate with his spoon never taking his eyes off of the TV.

"What are you talkin' about Lavon I'm just fine", he said and gave him a reassuring smirk, that unfortunately for him didn't work.

"I don't doubt that but I bet you've done something since you are so quiet, AND you are ashamed for what you've done", when Wade didn't answer Lavon knew he was right, "Alright I'm gonna guess that whatever you did has something to do with Zoe?"

"Why would you think that?"

"Three reasons, one I saw you leaving with her from the sweetie pie dance", Lavon stated.

"Rosie needed help", Wade defended.

"Two she skipped breakfast so obviously she doesn't want to talk to you"

"What if she's avoiding you", Wade through back.

"Why would she be avoiding Lavon Hayes?" Lavon asked and spread his arms. Wade didn't reply. "That's what I thought."

"That was only two reasons", Wade said and took first spoonful of his cereal.

"Only two reas- You know what, that's not the point", Lavon said frustrated. He walked to the living room where Wade had been, well not eating but staring. Lavon sat next to him on the couch. "I'm going to hear it from here anyhow might as well tell your side of the story."

Wade thought about it for a moment and realized that Lavon was right. Whenever Zoe needed to have a girl talk she would come to Lavon. He just had no idea how would he explain what he did when even he didn't know why? Sure he had bet on Zoe and the vet to break up at the night of Sweetie Pie dance, but he never meant to throw it in her face, until she started her speech about how 'he likes her', but never letting him know where her own feelings were at.

"I think I sort of did something that led to the vet breaking up with her", Wade faltered his voice getting more quiet towards the end.

"What did you do? You seduced her didn't you? I can't believe that you– actually now that I think of it I can", Lavon stood up and started pacing around, he was getting even more frustrated, but then again so was Wade.

"Well thanks a lot Lavon, and no I didn't sleep with her, you- you moron."

"Then what did you do?" Lavon calmed down a bit. Wade sighed and told Lavon everything, how he locked her in to her house without her phone forcing her to climb out of her second storey window, so she could make it in time for her date with the vet, how he stole her shampoo. Of course he didn't left out the parts where she made Joelle think that he and Zoe were sleeping together or how she send Joelle flowers in his name with a note that said 'I Love You'. Lavon didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the situation. Those two are impossible, he thought, but Wade wasn't finished yet.

"And after the whole thing with Rosie, I went back to her place to drop of Rosie's sweater, and Doc said something about me liking her and how there has been some chemistry"

"And…"

"And I might have brought up the fact that I had bet on how long she and Jefferson-"

"Judson", Lavon corrected him, but Wade just rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, how long they would be together, and my money was on last night's break up", Lavon let out a deep sigh and buried his head on his hands .Wade turned off the TV.

"So, what do you think?" Wade asked sounding a little nervous.

"I think that I told you a while ago that the only thing standing between you and Zoe Hart is you, and now you made it worse."

Lavon was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of Zoe's heels clapping on his floorboards. He put on smile not to give in that he already knew something. First thing she did was head to his fridge and took out a bottle of cranberry juice.

"So, you're hitting the hard stuff", he tried to lighten the mood that would soon be serious.

"I'm on call", Zoe answered shortly and took a sip.

"So I've heard", Lavon said and they sat in complete silence for a few minutes when the only thing breaking the silence was Lavon's alligator moving outside the house. Lavon decided he would break the silence: "So- you needed to talk to me about something."

Zoe took a deep breath and told her version of the story. It didn't really differ from Wade's. Afterwards they sat in silence just like they did before they started. This time it was Zoe who broke the silence.

"You know what in the end, I'm not even that sad about the break-up"

"You're not?"

"Not so much, I mean I am sad, but – I don't know how to say this- I was with my last boyfriend for so long and-", she took a deep breath again, "it's just that I know that me Judson weren't meant to be but it was nice to think even for a moment that I wasn't alone and that I had someone, someone other than a friend."

"I see", Lavon said and came to sit next to her. She laid her head on his shoulder and continued.

"I know I'm not entirely blameless in all of this and I could have said what I had to say better, but I just wanted to know why he keeps acting like such a little boy", Lavon wanted to tell her that the answer was simple: that's how boys let girls know they like them, but decided to keep that info for himself. Two friends just sat there not talking for another while, looking at the woods burning in the fireplace.

"I just want to tell you one thing and please don't argue with me on this", Lavon straightened himself up from the couch, "Wade really is a good guy, and I really hope that you can work this out, and I'm not taking sides on this thing. Deal?"

"Fine, but I make no promises", Zoe said and gave Lavon a little smile which he returned.

"That's my girl", he went on to kitchen and started preparing sandwiches for them, "now tell me about that thing with Agnes, did you really make her cry?" Zoe hit herself in forehead a couple times. "You know I had already forgotten that. I'll go and apologize her tomorrow."

"You better", Lavon said as he offered her the sandwich, "because Lavon Hayes has a reputation to maintain, I can't be seen housing some lunatic"

Zoe hit him playfully in the arm and took a bite of sandwich. "Thanks Lavon, and goodnight"
