I feel awful. I am getting really bad at updating and I truly am sorry. Here's chapter 6 sorry for the wait. Again.

**********************************************************************ZADE***********

I got up an hour ago and took my time getting ready. I was done in less than thirty minutes but for some reason I just couldn't leave my house. I paced around biting my nails nervously. Were things going to be weird between Wade and me now? There was always unspoken chemistry between us, but I never wanted to act on it before. Well, never as much as I did now. I felt like an ocean. Before I was calm and the water was still with a few waves every now and again. Now just thinking about him sent me rocking back and forth with a sea sickness nothing but climbing aboard his boat would help.

"You can do this." I said to myself, staring at my reflection in the hall mirror. Just as I went to open the door someone knocked from the other side.

"Hey, I was wondering if you were ever gonna show up." Lavon greeted me with a grin. I was disappointed; I had hoped it was Wade on the other side.

"Hey, yeah I woke up late." I replied shrugging it off as nothing, forcing a smile back.

"Is Wade with you?" He asked poking his head inside.

"What? No. Why would think that?" I asked taken aback.

"Just wondering, he didn't come over this morning either. I guess he over slept to." He shrugged turning around and jogging down my porch steps. I slammed my door shut and followed his footsteps. Wade was avoiding me? That angered me. Why it bothered me when I was doing the same thing to him was unreasonable, I know. That still didn't change the fact that I was upset. I knew things would be weird between us now!

"Zoe, are you coming?" Lavon asked waving a hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" I said snapping back to reality.

"You okay? You zoned out for a good five minutes there." He commented scrunching his face up while he examined me.

"Me? I'm fine." I lied.

"If you say so." He replied shaking his head unconvinced.

"What do you have planned for today?" I asked turning the focus on him.

"I was supposed to go fishing with Wade but he ain't home." He shrugged. Great, he's taking this avoidance thing too far. I mean I was only trying to delay having to see him. He got up early to bypass seeing me all together.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Lavon questioned crossing his arms as he watched me carefully.

"I'm fine." I assured him again before stalking off to his house.

"So, you pulled off a pretty good prank last night." Lavon said following me on the path to his house.

"You think?" I smiled turning back to look at him.

"You guys had me fooled." He admitted sheepishly.

"We had everyone fooled." I chuckled.

"Hey, don't get too cocky!" He warned. I went and opened his door still laughing. I was surprised to see Wade sitting at his table. He looked up when we walked in and I went silent. So he didn't get up early to avoid me, he just snuck over here when Lavon was over at my place. Was he planning on me not stopping by?

"Zoe, Lavon." He nodded hello. I blinked a few times before I pulled myself together. So that's how it's going to be. Well I got news for you Wade. Two can play this game and I plan on winning.
