Hello my lovelies here is the newest chapter I do hope you enjoy it and don't forget to review.

Shannon arrived at Raleigh Airport and waited for Elora in baggage claim. Elora got off the plane and made her way over to baggage claim and spotted Shannon there waiting for her. She walked over to him smiling, he smiled back at her. "hey you made it in one piece" Shannon said. "yeah I guess I did" Elora said. They got her luggage and made their way to Shannon's car. Shannon opened the passenger door for Elora and she smiled. Shannon made his way over to the driver's side and got in and they left the airport.

They got to the mall and she found what she needed plus a lot more. She and Shannon were really having a good time at the mall. After they were done at the mall they made their way to Whispering Pines to Elora's new apartment. The realtor was there waiting for them. Elora handed her a check and she gave Elora the keys to her new apartment. Once she left Elora looked over at Shannon. "care to see my new apartment?" Elora asked. "of course I would" Shannon said.

Elora opened the door to her new apartment and gasped. It was bigger than in the pictures. "wow this is a great place" Shannon said. "yeah it is it's bigger than what I thought" Elora said. She put the stuff that she had gotten away and was just in awe of her new place. "so when do your movers arrive?" Shannon asked. "tomorrow hopefully" Elora said. "well shall we go to dinner?" Shannon asked. Elora nodded and they made their way out.

Shannon and Elora made their way to the restaurant and got seated. Once they comfortable and placed their orders Shannon decided to ask Elora some questions. "so Elora what made you decided to up and route yourself here?" he asked. "well I was ready for a change in my life and career" she said. "do you think you can adjust from going from a big city to a small town?" he asked. "yeah I think I can, and I am ready to do so" she said. Shannon smiled at her as their food arrived.

After dinner they went over to the bar and ran into Shannon's friends. "hey Shannon get your ass over here!"yelled Jeff. Shannon guided Elora by her waist over to the guys. "hey y'all let me introduce to my new receptionist Elora. Elora these are my best friends, Matt, Jeff, Kimo, Curly, Yuk, and Johnny Yow" Shannon said. "it's nice to meet you all" Elora said smiling. "well we have already met" Jeff said. "oh yeah you were at the shop when I went in for my interview" Elora said. Jeff just smiled at her. "welcome to our town sweetheart" Jeff said as he handed her a shot. Shannon looked at Jeff and then at Elora. Elora smirked at Jeff and drank the shot. The rest of the guys just yelled.

Elora looked over at Jeff and smiled at him. Jeff smiled back at Elora. "I come from the city where shots run from the bars" Elora said. "oh shit sounds to me like we have shot duel challenge" Matt said. "no that is not going to happen" Shannon said. "what no faith in me Shannon?" asked Elora. Shannon looked over at Elora with shock and shook his head. "by all means then accept the duel" Shannon said. "oh I intend to and win" Elora said smiling. "oh it's on city girl" Matt said. "bring it on country boy" Elora said.

Elora kept up with Matt with every shot, pretty soon it was clear to see that Matt was far from gone and Elora had won the duel. "damn pretty girl you tore Matt up!" shouted Kimo. "next shot duel you are going to be my partner" Jeff said as put his arm around her shoulders. Elora smiled at both of them. Shannon looked at her and smiled at her he could not believe that she had actually beat Matt at a shot duel. "well I think we need to call it a night" Shannon said. "aww come on the night is just getting started" Jeff said. "yeah come on stay a bit longer" Yuk said. "no he is right, it's been a long day and I need to get some rest and plus tomorrow I need to figure out where to go to buy a car" Elora said. "I can help you with that if you want? We can go up to Raleigh and I can help pick a good car. I work on cars so I can make sure you don't get fucked with a shitty car" Jeff said.

"yeah ok sounds good what time?" asked Elora. "say about eleven?" asked Jeff. "alright sounds good to me, here is my address I will see you then" Elora said as she made her way with Shannon. Once they got to her apartment he walked her up to her door. "thanks for today it was fun, and your friends are pretty cool" Elora said. "yeah they are great friends, so do you want me to come with you guys tomorrow?" asked Shannon. "no it's ok you have to be at the shop it's bad enough I took you away from it today" Elora said. "nah it was ok" Shannon said. "well good night Shannon I will see you tomorrow sometime I guess?" Elora asked. "yeah for sure you will" Shannon said as he walked away.

Elora went into her apartment and closed the door and smiled. Shannon made his way to his car and looked up at her window and saw her there smiling. Maybe she is just what I need he thought to himself as he walked into his car.
