I own nothing.
Wade could see Zoe storming across his yard and he could tell that she was upset. He had honestly expected her sooner. He had been at his place for hours and with all of her education, you would think that she would have figured it out sooner.
"I should have known that you would have tried to pull a stunt like this! You are the most irresponsible person I have ever met!"
Wade didn't even bother to look up from his guitar. "You seem to be a bit more upset than the situation calls for, Doc." He replied evenly as he work on some chords. He then glanced up at her. "It's just a parade."
"I can't believe that I am going to say this, but it's the Founders Day parade. Lavon is counting on us. I am counting on us!" Zoe said and then she began to rant about the people in the town not liking her and losing her practice that she just inherited.
While she was ranting, Wade put his guitar to the side and stood up. He listened for a moment and then finally couldn't contain himself any longer. He took a step forward, one hand going to her waist and the other one gently resting on her cheek, pulled her close to him and kissed her.
It was kiss with a real purpose. He wanted her to know that he was seriously interested in her. For a brief moment, she kissed him back. But then she pushed away from him. "What are you doing?" she asked forcefully. She definitely did not get what he was trying to say.
"You were freaking out, I thought I would snap you out of it with my generic beer breath." Wade said, covering himself quickly. He then walked passed Zoe, turned around and saw her studying him. "What are you gaping at? We got a float to build, don't we? Com' on girl." Wade said as he tossed his plaid shirt over his shoulder and headed towards his car. He needed to pull himself together, because whatever happened in there could not happen again unless he wanted to risk chasing Zoe off.
Just what I thought what was going through his head during the scene in "Parades and Pariahs". I'll try and make my next update longer.
As always, feel free to leave a review and happy reading!
