AN: I'm back! I miss Hart of Dixie so much! Nothing on TV like it and it sucks. So here's another story to somewhat fill the void. Hope you enjoy! Please review and let me know if I should continue. Also thanks to people messaging me asking me to write again!

Wade stepped into the elevator and pushed the button for the 12th floor. The doors started closing when he heard someone yell.

"Hold the elevator," the voice said. He stuck his hand out to stop the doors from closing and a pretty brunette stepped in looking flustered.

"Thanks," she said.

"No problem," he said smiling down at her. She looked up at him, noticing how handsome he was and instinctively fixed her hair. "Which floor?" he asked as he leaned towards the buttons. She leaned in as well to push her floor and their hands touched. Wade pulled his hand away as he felt a jolt of electricity course through his veins. She drew in a sharp breath and bit her lip, looking up at him.

"Oh looks like we're going to the same floor," she laughed, snapping out of her daze.

"Looks that way," he said with a smile.

"So you new here or just visiting?"

"I moved in 2 days ago," he explained.

"Oh that explains why I haven't seen you. I'm a surgeon, well a resident, and I'm just getting off a 48 hour shift. I'm Zoe by the way."

"Wade," he said, shaking her hand, feeling the electricity again.

"Where you from?" Zoe asked as the doors opened. He gestured for her to step out first and she offered him a grateful smile.

"Bluebell, it's in Alabama." They walked down the corridor.

"Wow, long way from home," she giggled.

"Yeah, New York is definitely somethin' else."

"This is me," Zoe said as they approached her door. Wade started laughing.

"This is my stop too," he said, pointing at the door opposite hers.

"Oh you're Sarah's boyfriend. She told me that you were moving in this week. My days kind of blur into each other being so busy at the hospital," she babbled. Wade watched her with an amused smile as she dug through her purse.

"You ok?"

"Yeah, just looking for my keys. I keep so much stuff in here. It's so heavy, I could use it as a weapon," she laughed awkwardly. She pulled out her keys and held them up triumphantly and turned to unlock her door.

"It was nice meetin' you, Zoe. Guess I'll see you around."

"You too." Zoe went inside as Wade unlocked his door.

Zoe stepped out of her apartment and closed the door behind her. Just as she turned around, the door to Sarah's apartment opened and Sarah and Wade walked out, holding hands.

"Zoe, hey!" Sarah said happily.

"Hey Sarah, Wade," she greeted.

"Oh you've met! That's great!"

"Yeah, we shared an elevator a few days ago," Wade explained.

"Isn't he the best?" Sarah gushed.

"Don't really know him but yeah, I guess."

"Oh, you are gonna love him. He is so funny!"

"How long have you been together?" Zoe asked as they walked to the elevator.

"Three amazing months."

"Three months?" Zoe gasped loudly. "I mean... Wow that's great!" she corrected quickly. Wade scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and Sarah kept smiling, not paying attention.

"It's just been so great having him here and now we're on our way to him find a job."

"What do you do Wade?"

"I'm a..."

"He's a bartender. He worked at the only bar in town in Bluebell. He mixes really great drinks. I have a few places lined up that are willing to meet with him. We're heading to Ardesia now to see the manager."

"I love that place," Zoe said.

"Yeah, it's so great. I hope he gets it but I'm sure he will. Won't you Baby?" Wade shrugged. The doors of the elevator opened up onto the lobby and they stepped out.

"It was nice catching up Sarah, good luck with the job hunt Wade." Wade nodded at her and smiled. Zoe turned and walked out of the building, greeting the doorman as she left.

Wade walked out of the elevator towards the apartment and saw Zoe standing at her door holding a few bags of groceries and trying to dig in her purse.

"You need help?"

"No, I'm... crap," she cursed as the bags fell to the floor. The contents went everywhere and Wade bent down to help pick them up. She was on her hands and knees crawling to get an apple that had rolled away.

"Marshmallows, really?" Wade chuckled, holding up the packet.

"They're my comfort food," she defended, grabbing them from him and shoving it into the bag.

"So this is what a surgeon eats, huh?" he asked, holding up a box of black and white cookies. "Comfort food too?"

"Those are my favourite things in the whole world. Don't judge me, I work long hours."

"No judgement here Doc," he said, laughing. He stood up holding two of the bags while she held the last one. She pulled her keys out her purse and unlocked the door.

"Thanks," Zoe said standing in the doorway.

"You not gonna let me in?"

"Why would I let you in?"

"To help carry in your bags," Wade said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Wow, what they say about Southern men is true I guess."

"Oh yeah, what's that?"

"I don't know, chivalry isn't dead down there or whatever."

"What, New York men wouldn' offer to carry your bags in for ya?"

"None that I've met," Zoe said walking into her apartment with Wade following close behind. He put the bags on the kitchen counter and looked around.

"Nice place," Wade said.

"Thanks," she replied, giving him a small smile. "Oh hey, did you find a job?"

"Got the job at Ardesia. Start next week."

"That's great, I'll probably see you there at some point. It's one of my favourite bars."

"You frequent bars often then?" he teased.

"Not really but I like my wine," she confessed, packing away her marshmallows and cookies.

"I'll keep that in mind Doc," he winked at her and Zoe blushed. "I... I better get goin'," he said suddenly.

"Thanks for the help."

"Anytime," Wade said, leaving her place. Zoe pulled out the bag of marshmallows and slumped down on the stool. She sighed and stuffed three into her mouth, thinking about how cute Wade was.

Wade was sitting on the couch strumming lightly on his guitar when Sarah sat down next to him and put her head on his shoulder.

"I made you coffee," she said.

"Thanks Babe," he smiled at her, leaning down and kissing her gently. When he pulled away he picked up his cup from the coffee table and took a sip. He scrunched up his face and put the cup down.

"What's wrong?" Sarah asked, putting her hand on his back.

"Nothin' it's fine. Jus' don' really like cream in my coffee."

"Really? I was sure you did."

"It's ok," he said, squeezing her knee.

"Didn't you order it with cream when we went to Starbucks last week?"

"Nope, definitely not. But this is good," he assured her.

"I'm sorry," she mumbled.

"It's ok Se. We're still learnin' that stuff about each other."

"Yeah you're right," she smiled up at him.

"How about you do that thing you know for a fact I like?" he said, raising her eyebrows up and down. She laughed and he pulled her down onto the couch with him.

Lying under the sink, Wade reached up with the wrench and loosened a screw. The garbage had been acting up and Sarah had asked him to fix it last Monday, the day he started work so it slipped his mind until she left him a rather passive aggressive note on the coffee machine this morning. The wrench slipped off the screw and sliced his arm open.

"Shit," he cursed, moving out from under the sink and seeing a lot of blood. He grabbed a towel and tried to clean it up but the bleeding wasn't stopping. He looked around not seeing something that could help and made his way across the hall. He banged on the door with his elbow, trying to hold the cloth in place.

"Zoe, I need your help," he called. A minute later, the door opened and Zoe was standing there in short shorts and a tank top that didn't leave much to the imagination. Her eyes landed on his bare chest and her mouth parted slightly.

"I had a fight with a wrench and lost," he smirked, holding up his arm.

"Mmm?" she asked, still looking at his chest, biting down on her lip.

"Doc? Hello?" he waved his hand in front of her face.

"What? Sorry," she blushed. "Oh my gosh, what happened to your arm?" she asked, noticing the blood stained towel.

"Where were you?" he laughed.

"Where was I when?"

"Just now, you spaced out. Told you I got into it with a wrench."

"Right," she flushed again. "Come in," she said, standing back.

He followed her to the lounge and sat on the couch. She sat next to him and put her hand on his arm. He jerked his arm back, once again feeling the electricity he felt 2 weeks ago when they first met.

"Sorry," she mumbled. "May I take a look?"

"Yeah," he breathed, clearing his throat and saying it again, more clearly. She removed the cloth and hummed to herself.

"What?" he asked.

"It's deep. You need stitches."

"Ok, so do we have to go to the hospital?"

"No, I can do them here. I'll be right back. Just keep putting pressure." She came back a few minutes later with a large medical bag and took out the things she needed. She removed the towel and started cleaning out the cut.

"So a wrench did this huh?" Zoe asked after a while.

"Yeah, was fixing the garbage disposal and it slipped." She leaned over to reach for something off the table and Wade caught a glimpse of what was under her already almost see through shirt. He chewed on his bottom lip while staring.

"This is going to sting," she warned, injecting right inside the cut.

"Ow! Warn a guy next time," he winced.

"I did warn you!" she defended herself, staring into his eyes. Wade felt his cheeks burn and he looked down at his arm, watching what she was doing.

"So is this what you normally wear around the house?" he enquired after a while. He saw her cheeks redden slightly and it made him strangely happy that he had that effect on her.

"I uh... wasn't expecting company. You normally walk around without a shirt?" she countered back.

"Pretty much," he shrugged.

"Lucky Sarah," she muttered under her breath.

"What was that Doc?"

"Nothing," she smiled. "So you're pretty lucky, if I do say so myself."

"Oh yeah? Why's that?"

"I am the best stitcher in my year. You probably won't even have a scar," Zoe bragged with a smug smile.

"I appreciate all the fine work you're doin' Doc."

"All done," she said, cutting the last stitch. "Come round in 5 days or so and it'll take me 5 minutes to remove."

"Thanks Doc, you're a life saver."

"Not quite but I'll take it," she giggled. She let Wade out and threw herself onto the couch. She felt stupid for being attracted to him when he was living with her neighbour. She rolled onto her stomach and let a frustrated moan into the pillow.
