Chapter 4

Zoe woke up that morning to her phone ringing loudly. She rolled over to see Wade shove a pillow over his head and turn from her.

"Hello, Zoe Hart speaking?" she said as she answered her phone.

"Yes, no I understand, I'll bring it by today. Thank you for calling" "Crap" she said as she hung up the phone

"Wade wake up, wake up!" she smacked him with her pillow trying to get his attention.

"Are you working today, I need a favour."

"No Zoe, its my weekend off, you know Lemon and I alternate weekends. I have to go in for a bit make sure everything is ok, but other than that I'm free."

She explained to Wade about the phone call, how the rental company had called to say she was overdue in returning the car she had borrowed and if it wasn't there by this afternoon she would have to pay them substantial amount of money.

They decided to go to Mobile and return the car, see a movie and have some dinner. It was perfect she thought an excuse to go an a date with Wade someone where no one would pay them much attention.

Wade had left a short time after to check on the Rammer Jammer, so she had decided to head to Mobile before him, return the car and do some shopping. The drive was slow and she couldn't decide on a station to listen to, instead winding down the window and watching the scenery go by. An hour or so later she was in Mobile returning the car, apologizing again for the delay, explaining what had happened. The women at the counter was listening intently, commenting on how romantic it was and how lucky Wade must be. She agreed and thanked the lady for her help.

She decided it was time to do some serious shopping. She walked past the first shoe store and walked right in. It wasn't exactly a designer store, but hey retail therapy was all she needed. She found a few nice pairs and walked out of the store with a smile on her face and bags in her hand.

She went to some more stores, purchasing all sorts of items, lingerie.. for Wade of course and more shorts that she loved. It was getting later she noticed and still hadn't heard from Wade. She sent him a text telling him she'd be having lunch at a little place down the road. He hadn't replied. Maybe he was driving she thought.

As she made her way to the little café, she noticed out of the corner of her eye, the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. She stepped up to the glass window, starring at it a while. The white lace, intricate beading and low cut back had her mesmerized. She had never really given much thought to what type of wedding dress she would want, hell she had always thought she'd have a career before any of that. She was captivated by the dress, looking at it up and down daydreaming about her wearing that, when suddenly she felt an arm on her back.

"See anything you like Doc?" it was Wade and she gave a little jump at the thought of being caught looking at a wedding gown of all things.

She turned to him, giving him a smile.

"Just looking a girl can stop and admire I nice dress when she wants." It was as if she was trying to make herself believe she was only looking, but deep down she was picturing herself in it.

"You hungry, I hadn't made it to the café yet." she pulled Wade away from the shop who had also stopped to look at it.

They walked to the café hand in hand, Wade being the gentleman opening the door for her. As she was about to step in a tall, dark haired women walked out.

"Wade!" she had said.

Zoe looked at Wade who had run his hand through his hair. A tell of his, and a nervous one at that.

"Claudette?" he had said.

She knew exactly who this women was and she wasn't the least bit happy about it. She had thought coming to Mobile for a date would mean time alone, not 'bump into the women you cheated on me with'. She let go of Wade's hand balling her own into fists at her side.

Claudette began to speak to Wade, asking how he was, if he was free anytime soon. She stood there looking Claudette as if to say "hello, I am here you know, I can hear what you are talking about", well she'd had enough. Wade had shot Claudette down, and she was still not happy about the situation. She contemplated walking away, but what good would that do, she'd look like a little girl who'd been picked on. So she did the only thing she could think of, brought her hand up and punched Claudette square in the jaw, then turning on her heels, bags in hand she walked off, proudly with her head high.

Wade had simply looked from Zoe to Claudette, a big smile appearing on his face as he turned and went after Zoe.

"Zoe, slow down would you"

She kept up the pace, ignoring him as she went. She heard him start to run after her, and before long he had her wrist gripped in his hand. She turned to him with a questioning look in her eyes.

"What? I wasn't going to stand there and be ignored by some stuck up cow, especially not one who was asking when she could hook up with you next. She deserved everything she got."

She had realized how crazy she sounded, how it wasn't like her to be violent with anyone in that manner, but she was hurting and Claudette was part of that reason. Wade could only look at her.

"Look, do you think that if I had wanted to see her again I would have told you I love you, bought the Rammer Jammer, changed for you? Seriously, you know I shot her down, I didn't even want to talk to her but it was a bit hard when she was stopped right next to us." She just kept looking at Wade while he talked.

"God Doc, you are crazy at times, hell that's partly why I love you. And it was pretty hot watching you slug her in the face like that. Come here!"

He had pulled her into his arms where she rested her head against his chest, "You know I forgive you for what happened, right Wade?" He nodded to her and pulled her close again kissing her, letting her know that he understood.

They had decided to get some lunch and go home perhaps a date in Bluebell would be easier, less drama.
