Authors note: Thanks guys, so much for all your feedback. I certainly wasn't expecting this kind of response. The story is just coming to me so well that I could sit and write all day so I hope you don't mind if I load chapters quicker than most. Seeing as its my day off I'll probably write and write.

Anyways I have decided that the way the story is running each chapter will alternate from Wade and Zoe's POV.

Hope ya'll enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Hart of Dixie, not one little bit.

Chapter 2

Wade stood there staring at Zoe, was she actually real or was he imagining things? Since Zoe had left he had been seeing her everywhere he went, he would see her walking on the other side of the town square, at a booth in the Rammer Jammer, even thought he'd seen her in the carriage house at times. He'd realized she wasn't there he'd hoped she had been and it was the same now, except he could hear her voice speaking to him.

"Wade, say something!"

He was in shock. When he had told her days ago he loved her, he certainly didn't expect to see her back her so soon, especially when she had secured a job and had told him she just need time.

"Doc, why are you here?"

He was becoming nervous and was running his hand through his untidy hair when she stepped towards him and grabbed his other arm.

"I wasn't honest with you, that day, at the roadhouse. I needed to come here to tell you the truth. You deserve the truth, everything you've done these past months to better yourself and prove to me you changed, well those alone deserved the truth from me. I guess I just needed some extra time in New York to realize how much I hated it there, how much I missed everything about Bluebell and my friends, how I missed..." she was starting to choke up.

He could sense she needed to tell him more, stroking her wrist with his thumb, encouraging her to continue.

"How I missed seeing you in Lavon's kitchen, at the Rammer Jammer, everywhere. I hadn't realized it tell I had left, I'd spend nights holding my phone, looking at your picture, thinking I should call... to tell you that, I have more than deep feelings for you, that I love you too."

He could see how nervous she was, but this was Zoe, she never had problems with talking to him before, maybe it was because there was no yelling involved, but didn't women like talking about their feelings?, well that's what he had thought.

She had moved closer and was in his arms before he could even think, before he could ask her why she hadn't told him sooner, but he decided he'd let it be. There was plenty of time for talking later, right now he was happy she was back in Bluebell and after months in his arms.

He knew this time would be different, that he wouldn't be the same old Wade, he had to treat her like the beautiful, smart and proud women that she was. He lifted his hand to tilt her face up towards him.

"I didn't think you'd come back till the three months were up, I sure as hell didn't think you'd come back to tell me you love me, you deserve everything Zoe, the world, albeit Bluebell is a small world.. he chuckled.. and its yours for the picking."

He looked down at her with his signature smirk and it was all it took for her to burst into laughter, slapping his chest. He was glad he had cheered her up.

"You're an idiot."

Since finding her there while he opened the fuse box, he had wondered how this night would end. Would they go back to their separate houses, see each other in the morning or spend the evening together. For gods sake he was Wade Kinsella, and even when he thought about Zoe he never thought about what was proper. She had this way about her where, he couldn't breath, couldn't think and the only way to snap back to reality was to kiss her, to feel her hands wrap around his neck, her small frame being overtaken in an embrace.

He decided to be a gentleman,

"Shall I walk you back home Doc? we have a lot to talk about but I have an early start tomorrow and we should both get a good nights sleep"

"Yeah, sure."

She had looked at him with a fake smile, sinking inside not knowing where Wade stood in all of this.

They walked back to the carriage house, Zoe one step in front of him. He stopped when he hit the steps.

"I'll see you tomorrow, ok Doc? Sleep tight."

He gave her a wave and walked back to the gatehouse, getting inside taking his shirt and jeans off and flopping on his bed. He wasn't sure why he was acting like this. He didn't want to expect anything from her, not like his 6 pack of beer incident, but as he lay there for a few minutes longer he realized just how much of an idiot he was being. Zoe had said she loved him, and he didn't even tell her that he still did.

Jumping up and throwing on his jeans he raced out the door, there was no time for a shirt and frankly he thought Zoe was lucky he'd had the initiative to atleast put some pants on before making his way to her.

He ran to the carriage house, jumping the steps 2 at a time, and pulling open the door came bursting into the room. He found Zoe laying in bed staring at him over the blanket.

"I love you too Doc, I never stopped, I promised myself that I'd wait for you but seems I'm done waiting."

He walked over to her, pulling back the cover and lifting her up into his arms. He had noticed the smell of burnt out candles placed throughout the room, realizing maybe Zoe had hoped he wouldn't just walk her to her door after their little talk. He gave her a cheeky smile, and all she could do was giggle. He pulled her to him, cradling her face, moving to kiss her. It wasn't hard or forceful, it was a kiss like no other she had experienced with Wade, it was tender, yet urgent, like he had been missing her for so long and was kissing her with all the love he had for her.

He slowly laid her down on the bed, careful not to break the kiss. He felt Zoe's hands on his back pulling him closer, letting him know that this is where she wanted to be. He pulled away, looking into her eyes, before whispering into her ear,

"Crazier things have happened, then a bar owner and a doctor."
