Why did it have to rain now? I mean, I was so close. So god damn close and it had to rain and ruin things. I guess in a way it was a good thing. I mean, did I really want just a one night stand with her? Of course not. For the first time since my wife left me I was ready for something more than a measly one nighter. I was ready to 'try and find love again'. Zoe was a big part of that. I was willing to try for her. All she thinks about me is meaningless sex. Somehow, I was gonna have to change that, I just don't know how.
"There you are, I was looking all over for you. You were suppose to meet me ten minutes ago so I could try and win some of my money back." Lavon said, interrupting me from my train of thoughts.
"Right, sorry. I got distracted." I replied getting up off my couch.
"Still thinking about Zoe?" He asked curiously.
"What do you think?" I shot back.
"Looks like somebody's got it baaad." He laughed. I gave him a look showing him how not funny I thought he was being.
"I'm sorry." He said, raising his hands up in a sign of peace.
"I was this close," I told him, pinching my fingers a centimeter apart to show him.
"You'll find a way, just give it time." He replied. We walked over to his house and picked up where we left off yesterday.
"So how was your date with Deedee?" I asked, putting the spotlight on him for a change.
"It was good, she's real sweet." He replied.
"Damn, that bad?" I asked shocked.
"What, no. It's just, you remember that girl I told you about? I can't seem to get her off my mind lately." He confessed.
"Dude, I thought you said she went back to her ex? You gotta move on. Take my advice, forget that girl and try harder with Deedee." I told him.
"You're right, she's getting married, it's about time I move on." He replied. As soon as he said that, it hit me. He was talking about Lemon? Hot damn! When he realized what he said and the reaction I had to it, he knew he slipped up.
"No way, that girl is Lemon?" I shouted surprised. I paused the game and looked over at him. I couldn't believe he liked her. She's just so, I mean she's such a, wow.
"Would you shut up? I don't want the whole world knowing. How would you feel if I let everyone in town know you have the hot's for doctor Hart?" He asked me.
"I'm guessing he'd be pretty mad." Zoe replied before I had the chance to speak. How long had she been standing there? And just how much had she heard? Apparently Lavon was thinking the same thing I was.
"How much did you over hear?" He asked her worried.
"Not much. Just enough to know you like Lemon, and apparently Wade likes me." She answered, scrunching up her face.
"Too much, if you ask me." I said, leaning back into the couch.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ease drop. I was on my way over here to ask if you had any batteries I could borrow. I swear I won't tell anyone, cross my heart." She said.
"It's alright, it's not your fault Wade has a loud mouth. I'll go look for those batteries so you and Wade can uh, talk." He replied before heading upstairs.
"Well, get it out." I told her.
"What?" She asked confused.
"Whatever it is you have to say." I said.
"Oh, well I could say I was interested, but we all know that's a lie. I don't know what it is about you, but I can't seem to get you out of my mind." She told me. I stood up from the couch and looked at her. Was I hearing her right? Did she just admit to returning the feelings I thought were unwanted towards her?
"I mean, all I thought about yesterday was ripping your clothes off and having my way with you, but I'm not that kind of girl. Although it would probably be nice to have random sex with you whenever I wanted, I just couldn't do it. I want a relationship and that's something you-" She was rambling on before I cut her off by kissing her.
"-don't want?" She continued, unsure of what that kiss meant.
"I could do it." I told her, putting my arms around her.
"You'd give up sleeping around? No more one night stands or slutty girls that like to write their number on your arms?" She wondered.
"If that meant I got to be with you." I told her honestly. She smiled at me and reached up to kiss me.
"Who knew hot shot bad boy Wade actually had a softer sweeter side?" She thought our loud.
"I found those batteries you want-" He was saying, when he realized what was going on he shut up and started backing up the stairs.
"Not in my house!" He shouted before turning around and running back up the steps. I laughed and cupped Zoe's face with my hand and leaned down to give her a light kiss on the lips.
"There are a whole lot of things you don't know about me." I told her, backing her up against the door.
"Then we're just gonna have to change that." She replied. I kissed her all the way over to my house where this time, she finally came in and stayed the night.
