*I wanted to post this story since it'll be awhile till I get to do it again. I've got a Test to take this week and it requires my attention. Thanks to those that have been reading this story.
Never give up-9
Wade/Lavon:
He was sweating bullets at the thought of anyone but Dr. Hart outbidding all the other girls here tonight. It wasn't nerves that got him, but the idea of having to entertain those girls he slept with before. The idea of having to hang around them again made him nauseous. He should have known better than to get involved with these girls, but he wasn't going to turn down a night of sex if they were offering. The funny thing though, ever since he met Dr. Hart, he didn't want to just be with anyone. He kept telling himself and Dr. Hart that he didn't want a girlfriend, but was that the truth. Shaking his head, he proceeds to the front of the line where Lavon was lining them all up. This was going to be a night to remember.
"Wade…I see that you're ready to participate in this event."
"Peachy keen Lavon. You know how I hate these events."
"Consider it a good thing that you are doing from your heart and all the children involved here tonight."
"Yeah, yeah. Have you seen Dr. Hart by any chance?"
"No I haven't. Why?"
"She was talking about stopping by after work, you know to get to the people of BlueBell."
"Haha…I knew it. She has you hooked."
"You're talking crazy Lavon. We are just friends. She's not like those other woman."
"I am going to warn you now. Don't put yourself in a situation that you can't get yourself out of. She is a doctor and knows how to use the medicine against you."
"That sounds painful the way you make it sound."
"I'm just saying that Brick is looking to have another doctor around so he can get some time off for himself. You know that he likes to go fishing."
"I promise I won't do anything to hurt Dr. Hart. In fact, I'll be on my best and charming behavior."
"That's what I'm afraid of."
Lavon leaves Wade's side and proceeds to the microphone. He thanks everyone for coming out tonight to support this great cause. It will benefit all the children of BlueBell who would like to go to college someday. Let's kick this off with contestant number 1. Lavon continues to do this. Wade looks at the clock on the wall and prays that Dr. Hart gets here in time. The sharks are all out tonight.
….
Lemon/George/Mrs. Tucker/Mr. Tucker:
"So George, they are coming tonight right? I mean after last night, is your mom really up to it?"
"They'll be here Lemon. In the meantime, what is the surprise that you had for me?"
"Patience George. All will be revealed in good time. I promise it will be a night we both won't forget."
"It sounds like we need to get out of here. How about we ditch my parents?"
"Now now son. What kind of impression would that make on your mom and I?"
"Dad…I didn't see you there."
"Yes I've noticed son. Lemon it's always great to see you."
"Mr. Tucker, Mrs. Tucker. I'm so thrilled that you could dine with George and I tonight."
"Well after last night, we couldn't afford to miss this one. How cruel would that be?"
"Mrs. Tucker, I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better today. George told me that your migraine was acting up. Is there anything I could do?"
"I'm good Lemon, thank you. So how is the wedding planning coming along?"
"Oh it's good. Daddy gave me the idea of getting a wedding planner to help make things easier on George and I. It'll give us more time to spend together."
"Wouldn't that take away the fun? I know how you like to plan things."
"Nah. I'll be too busy with other things to worry about the planning of the wedding."
"Oh, what else is going on with you?"
"Well I wanted to share this piece of news with everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Tucker, George and I are going to have a baby."
Mrs. Tucker faints at the news and George and Mr. Tucker try to help her out. Lemon is crying at the commotion she caused.
…
Brick/Zoe:
"Have you got big plans tonight Zoe?"
"I'm supposed to go to the Rammer Jammer. I guess they are having a benefit to raise money for children."
"Awe yes. I was heading that way. Would you like a ride?"
"That would be nice Brick. My car doesn't arrive for another week and I feel bad for people driving me around."
"Don't worry about it Zoe. We help one another out here in town."
"What are you bidding on out there?"
"Normally Lavon has a woman with a basket who is trying to sell her baking goods. If it's Agnes, then she is the one you bid on. That woman can bake some serious pies."
"Huh…someone sweet on her?"
"No, no. I just love eating her food. Once you get a bite of it, you can't help want to eat more."
"It sounds like I need to stay away then. Sweets will go to my hips."
"I'm pretty sure you have nothing to worry about their Zoe. It looks like you already have someone who's got their eye on you."
"I'm not sure Brick who you mean. I've only been in town for 2 days."
"Wade Kinsella. That boy can be a handful, but somehow you've managed to get through his wall."
"Oh I highly doubt that Brick. Wade is just being friendly. Besides, we are neighbors."
"Zoe, don't kid yourself. Wade likes you and I'm not sure he even realizes it himself. He has countless women throwing themselves at him all the time."
"Most guys would be flatter."
"Wade wasn't always like this you know. After his mama passed, things changed for him and he had to grow up fast."
"I didn't know."
"He doesn't talk about it, but I see him every now and then talking to her at the gravesite. He leaves her flowers."
"It sounds like they were really close."
"She was his world. Wade hasn't let anyone get close to him since he lost his mama. That's why I say you must be pretty special for him to slowly let his walls fall down."
"Thanks for telling me Brick. I understand a lot better now."
…
Wade/Lavon:
"You know stalling for time isn't going to help matters. The bidding is about to begin Wade and all these woman in the crowd are ready."
"I know. They scare me."
"Haha Wade. It'll be okay. They seem pretty harmless to me."
"Oh yeah, you try having this much sex appeal and trying to fend them off of you."
"I didn't need to know that Wade."
"Just a couple of minutes longer Lavon."
"I'm sorry man. It's time for it to go on."
Lavon reaches the front of the stage with his microphone and announces this is the moment you've all been waiting for. A home cooked meal with Wade Kinsella. The room erupted in cheers and the bidding war started. Lavon was having a hard time with all these ladies throwing up their paddles to bid on them. Wade on the other hand looked a bit green.
…
Brick/Zoe:
"This place looks like it's happening Brick."
"Aw yes. I see the cause of the commotion."
"What do you mean?"
"Look towards the stage. Wade is up there and the women are going wild."
"Poor guy. Is it just me or does he look a bit green?"
"I like to think of it as him being overwhelmed with all the offers Zoe. Why don't you help him out a bit?"
"I don't know Brick. People will get the wrong idea."
"If you guys are only friends like you said, then it won't matter will it."
"You're right. I'll wait for a bit. I want to see how high the bidding war gets."
…..
Wade/Lavon/Zoe:
This isn't turning out the way I wanted. All these ladies are bidding on me like I'm a piece of meat and the one person who I asked to come isn't here. This night isn't going the way I thought it was. It's going to be a long night.
Lavon turns to Wade and says "Smile more Wade. The ladies love you. You should be eating this up."
"You have no idea how much I hate you at this moment Lavon."
"Think of the cause Wade. It's for the children."
"It's the only reason why I'm doing this Lavon."
Wade had given up with the idea of Dr. Hart rescuing him from this nightmare. The last bid he heard was for $400 from Jolene. He saw Lavon turn to Kerri to see if she was going to bid higher but she shrugged her head no. Wade knew he was doomed now. It was just a matter of the gavel hitting the table three times and he was Jolene Sugarbaker's date for the night. He heard Lavon say "going once, going twice…"
"$1,000 dollars."
Lavon turned to see who had bid on Wade and that's when he saw her. Dr. Hart had come through. He couldn't have been happier. The crowd also turned to see who would bid that much on him and he could tell she was feeling scrutinized. Wade wanted to go over there and rescue her at this moment. He had to wait till Lavon called it before he could step off the platform. He heard him say "going once, going twice, sold to Dr. Zoe Hart."
The crowd dispersed after the winning and Lavon went over to congratulate Dr. Hart on the bid. She smiled at him and then looked towards Wade. Walking over with her crutches, she stood in front of him and said "Alright cowboy. I'm ready for you. " Wade sputtered and all she could do was laugh. Dr. Hart had quite the sense of humor and he wasn't sure he was ready for her yet.
