I know I have been neglecting this story! But here is the first part of Thursday. I'm making it into two parts, because I know you guys need to know I am still out there and thinking about this story, which I am. I just didn't want to keep you waiting any longer.

Hope everyone had a good New Years!

Chapter 10

Thursday - This is goodbye - Part 1

Once again it was Zoe that woke up first in the morning. She could tell it wasn't that early by the light that was illuminating her room. She looked sideways knowing Wade would be there and smiled as soon as she laid her eyes on him. Zoe had thought that her week couldn't get better, but she had fully enjoyed her day yesterday.

Although they didn't end up doing much all day, she had spent all day cuddled up in Wade's strong arms just enjoying their closeness, stealing kisses here and there and finally falling asleep in his arms by the end of the day. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt so content and happy, there hadn't even been a day in her relationship with Sebastian that had felt as great as any day she had spent with Wade so far. Even the first days he was visiting and annoyed her to no end although she knew that was only because she was attracted to him.

Zoe exhaled and studied Wade's face. He looked so much younger and innocent when he was sleeping, like a young boy in a grown man's yet very muscular body. Zoe smiled to herself as she looked at his defined back. How he even got so muscular was beyond her, she didn't get the impression he had ever seen the inside of a gym. She raised her hand to trace the muscles on his back but thought better of it. She had every intention to wake him up but Zoe just had a Wade-like idea she was sure he would like. Especially on their last day together. Zoe slipped out of bed quietly and got rid off all her clothes. Shivering slightly she got back into the warmth of the bed and cuddled up close to Wade, gently touching his chest and brushing her lips against his. The contact caused Wade to stir but didn't wake him up. Zoe pressed her lips harder against his, waking up Wade.

"Hmmmm." He moaned into the kiss, his arms opening up for Zoe, his hands instinctively roaming over her body and he groaned in appreciation when he realised she was naked.

Wade sat up and hastily ridding himself of his clothes, before gently pushing Zoe back down and resuming their kiss as he moved on top of her, pulling her legs around his waist and positioning himself between her legs.

"Good mormin' indeed doc."

"Morning guys." Annabeth said as soon as she walked into the kitchen where Lemon and George were already having breakfast. "You guys are up early"

"Yes we need to prepare for today, making a lunch before we head out."

Annabeth craned her neck at the food on the counter that Lemon was preparing.

"Are you going for a picnic?"

Lemon looked around the kitchen suspiciously. When she was sure no one else was around did she finally speak.

"I am making this for Wade. He sent me a text yesterday asking if I can help him with a surprise for Zoe. I think he's taking her on a date, although Wade called it "just lunch." Lemon said rolling her eyes and let out a humourless cackle.

"How long do you think it will take for those two to admit to their feelings?" Lavon asked no one in particular.

"Never." Both Lemon and George replied at the same time, causing Annabeth and Lavon to stare at them.

"You think after the week that we've had, they're just going to pretend nothing has happened?

"Yes, that's what I think Zoe would do." George said.

"She's the most stubborn person I have ever met in my entire life. She won't even admit she has feelings for him. She doesn't really like to talk about her feelings, like ever. That's why I was surprised that she even talked to Wade about her ex-fiance. She hardly ever talked to me about it. Just that I should have the master when I moved in and she was moving to the spare room."

"So you think it's more than just casual sex between them." Annabeth stated. It wasn't a question, more like an observation and she looked around the kitchen.

"Oh I know it is, but she's never going to admit it."

"Neither will Wade." Lemon added sadly.

"I'll get it out of him." Lavon said.

"You think?" Lemon snorted.

"I'll invite him over one day to watch the game, we'll have a few beers and I'll get him talking."

"Good Luck with that!" Lemon said, holding up her cup of tea to salute Lavon. "Let me know how it goes."

"Do you think they need an intervention?" Annabeth said cunningly.

"An Intervention? Lavon asked looking sideways at his girlfriend as if she was crazy.

"Yeah, maybe we need to nudge them into the right direction, you know. So they have to admit their feelings."

"Ab, I know I can make miracles happen, but I am no magician. That's never going to happen."

"So what should we do?" Annabeth asked looking around the room.

"We do nothing, they're both grown ass.. uhm… they are both adults." Lavon rectified himself, seeing Annabeth's horrified face.

"Let them work out." Lemon

"So we are just going to sit back and watch the train wreck that is Zoe and Wade?" Annabeth asked horrified.

"I think we are." Lavon added solemnly

By the time Wade and Zoe managed to move beyond her bedroom, the apartment had become very quiet. Zoe walked into the kitchen wearing nothing but Wade's lumberjack shirt and Wade dared to venture out in only his boxers. No longer bothered of he might walk into Lemon or Annabeth.

"I think they all left." Zoe said looking around the kitchen. It looked pristine but then again that's how it always looked when Lemon had been anywhere.

"I think they're just kind of sick of waiting' around for us doc." Wade smirked.

"Bet they are, but they could of told us they left. Where do you think they went?" Zoe wondered out loud.

"Doc, it's their date day remember? I'm sure they're off doing some sort of romantic stuff all day."

"Romantic stuff?" Zoe asked him with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah well like I said that first night I met you. George is a gentleman of the old. I bet he's pulling out all the stops to impress Lemon."

"You remember what we talked about a week ago?"

Wade looked at her as if she was crazy. Of course he remembered. He remembered everything, every minute and every second he had spend with Zoe. He'd rather die than admit that her her however.

"Of course I remember doc, the moment I saw you I knew we needed to get better acquainted." He said winking at her, his eyes trailing over her long exposed legs.

"Pig." Followed by a playful slap on his arm as she brushed passed him towards her bedroom.

"Hey where are you going?" Wade asked turning around to look at her.

"I'm going to get changed, I want to go do something today. It's your last day here and we should do something fun."

Before Wade could say anything more, she had already disappeared. Now how was he supposed to tell her about his plans?

He looked around the corner to see if Zoe had actually left before he pulled his phone out of his pocket to see what Lemon had sent him.

Basket is in the cupboard under the sink.

Have fun with Zoe.

Don't forget, you owe me big time.

Lemon
