"They're going to be just fine," Wade said causing Zoe to look over at him.

"I know, but my baby just got over being sick. It could come back and I won't be there when she needs me," Zoe explained in a panic. Wade was finding it hard to keep a straight face. He was worried about Brax being 100 percent better as well. But he knew that his mom would be able to handle a sick Brax if the illness did happen to make a comeback. Just like he was positive that if Ariel got sick all over again that Harley would be just fine.

"Harley is a doctor, has been for a while," Wade pointed out, clearly amused.

"Gee really?" Zoe mocked. "There's nothing like a mother's love when you're sick, Wade. Or a father's love," Zoe added as an after thought, remembering Wade's situation rather quickly. The last thing she wanted to do was insult him before the date even started.

"I get that, but you need to let it go and relax, Zo. Tonight is about us. Ariel and Brax are going to be fine."

"Just as long as you don't convince me not to talk about my baby girl."

"Good one, Doc," Wade laughed, shooting her a small smile. "I'm not taking the kids of the table as a topic. We can gush about them all we want. But it would be nice to talk about other things as well, don't you think?"

"Of course," Zoe replied with a smile. "Wade?" Zoe questioned, gently biting down on her lip. Wade cocked an eyebrow at her while parking the car. "What was the whole thing about Justin? I'm curious just because he hasn't tried anything. He won't talk to me unless it's about Ariel. Did you hear something or what?" Zoe asked, turning to look at him, but quickly turned to look out the window, not wanting to see whatever look he was giving her.

"The last thing I want to talk about is your ex on our date, Zo." She went to say something but he cut her off. "But I'll say this once. It's more than a feeling that he's up to something. I heard him on the phone while I was at work. He's up to something but I don't know what," Wade sighed. Talking about her ex was a buzz kill and their date had yet to start.

"Thank you," Zoe softly told him. She wasn't going to bring anymore bad karma to what she hoped was going to be a good night. "So what's the plan?" Zoe asked, looking at the white building they were parked in front of.

"Bowling and pizza to start the night off," Wade smirked, seeing the smile come to Zoe's face. Even in the dim light from the street lamps, he could see how Zoe's face lit up.

"I haven't been bowling since before Ariel was born," Zoe gushed, getting out of the car. Wade laughed, meeting Zoe in front of the car, slipping his hand in hers. Zoe smiled, squeezing his hand softly.

"Don't laugh," Zoe pouted, after getting another gutter ball. Wade pulled Zoe in for a hug place a soft kiss to the top of her head.

"We can get the bumpers for ya," Wade chuckled, earning a smack to his gut.

"Just go!" Zoe huffed, sitting down and folding her arms over chest.

Laughing Wade grabbed his ball and sent it flying down the lane hitting a strike. "Baby that's how it's done," he smirked. Zoe sent him a glare.

As the night wore on, Wade took it easy on Zoe and helped her to actually win a game, giving her tips. It was the perfect chance to have her in his embrace, showing her just how to throw the bowling ball down the lane.

With a perfect smirk on her face Zoe bowled the last game with a close perfect score. She had even left him with his mouth hanging open when she picked up a 7/10 split. Zoe laughed at his face. "Guess I had the perfect teacher," she purred into his ear, sitting down next to him.

"You're evil," he smirked, placing a kiss to her cheek, getting his ball for his last turn.

After the unexpected twist in the game and after they finished off the pizza and their drinks they headed out. Wade snaked his arm around Zoe's waist. She rested her head on his shoulder, letting her arm wrap around him, resting on his hip. Neither one said a word letting the busy night life fill the silence for them. Zoe smiled when Wade steered her in the direction of a concert in the park. Wade pulled Zoe around to face him, his hands resting on her hips. Zoe wrapped her arms around his neck. They danced in a small circle as the music filled the night air.

After a few songs with her head against his shoulder and out of no where it started to pour. Zoe squealed as they hurried across town to where Wade's car was parked at. He dug in the back seat and found a sweater for Zoe to wear. She happily took the article of clothing, pulling it over her head.

Zoe sat in the car laughing as Wade turned the heat on full blast. Looking over at Zoe, Wade started to laugh. "What's so funny?" Wade asked, coming off his laughing high.

"Tonight was perfect. The rain made it fun," Zoe told him.

"It was," Wade agreed, maneuvering them back onto the road out back in the direction of Bluebell. "Where you playing the whole time at the bowling alley?" He asked, looking for traffic, so he could turn.

"No," Zoe told him. "It really had been a while. I use to play all the time. It was like the normal hang out with my group of friends. It just took me a while to pick everything up. And about half way through I didn't want to change the fact that you had your arms around me to help me," she explained with a deep red blush on her cheeks. A cheesy grin on Wade's face.

"You could've asked and I would've been more than happy to have my arms around you babe," Wade replied with a cocky hint to his voice. Zoe giggled, reaching her hand out to lace her fingers with his hand that was laying on the arm rest between them.

Small talk flowed between them and soon enough Wade was walking Zoe to her front door. They shared a small good night kiss. It was soft and sweet. "Night Wade," Zoe whispered, pulling away from the kiss.

"Night Zoe," Wade responded with a smile on his face.

"Oh and Wade, I'm expecting a second date," Zoe called after him.

"I wouldn't dream of breaking that expectation," he replied with a huge smile.

Tonight really had been perfect.
