I DON'T OWN HART OF DIXIE

Chapter 12

Zoe and Wade's plane landed in New York. They got off the plane. It was defiantly way colder in New York then Alabama. They went to baggage claim to get there bags. Of course Zoe packed way more then was needed and Wade was stuck carrying them.

"So where are we staying Doc" Wade asked grabbing the bags

"Please don't get mad but with my mom" Zoe said. Wade's face dropped. They were going to be staying with his girlfriend's mom. That couldn't be good especially knowing Zoe's mom. I would never be good enough for her daughter. "Wade look at me its going to be fine"

With that they headed to Zoe's moms. They arrived at her mom's condo and Zoe grabbed Wade's hand to try and calm him down but it didn't really work. Zoe knocked on the door. Her mother grabbed Zoe and hugged her.

"Mom this is Wade" Zoe said being released from the death grip her mother had on her.

"Hello Wade come on in, Zoe show him where to put your bags." Candice said

Zoe led the way and Wade followed her down the hall to her childhood room.

"You can just put them over there" Zoe said pointing the empty space in the corner of the room.

Wade went and put the bags down in the spot Zoe told him to "So this is your room" Wade said giggling

"Shut up and shower you smell and we are going out" Zoe said

"Only if you come in with me" Wade said grabbing Zoe and pulling her closer

"Not gonna happen my mother is just down the hall" Zoe said

"So" Wade said winking

"Shower now" Zoe said walking out of the room to go talk to her mother

"I set the guest room up for Wade to sleep in" Candice said

"That's okay Mom you didn't have to do that' Zoe said

"Yeah I did" Candice said

"Mom, me and Wade are dating now" Zoe said

"Yeah so it won't last Zoe" Candice said

"You don't know I fit will or not" Zoe said

Wade finished his shower and got dressed in a nice plaid shirt with blue jeans that didn't have any stains of holes in them. He wanted to look as good as possible to make a good impression on Zoe's friends. He walked in and heard Zoe and her mom conversation so he just stood there not wanting to interrupt.

"Zoe he is just you rebound" Candice said

"What are you talking about my rebound from whom exactly" Zoe said

"From Chris" Candice said

"He is defiantly not my rebound from Chris. We dated for six years and when we broke up I didn't even cry. And I'll have you know I have dated many guys after Chris broke up with me" Zoe said

Wade couldn't help but laugh. Zoe only dated Judson who was a jerk. And she pinned over George since we finally gave in and had sex.

"But Wade will never compare to Chris. Chris is a surgeon and Wade is a bartender" Candice said

"Your right there will never be a comparison. Wade is a bartender at his own bar" Zoe said. She was getting so angry at the fact that she was comparing him to Chris. She just wished her mother would support her.

"Still he is a hick from the middle of nowhere and Chris is well Chris" Candice said

"Yeah so was my real father but that didn't stop you did it. Can you just stop I am done with Chris, I am with Wade now and I am falling in love with him so please get to know him and don't be like this" Zoe said

After Wade heard Zoe say she might be falling love with him his heart began to beat faster. He decided it would be a good time to leave.

"Zoe I don't think this is going to last and I think Chris is so much better for you but I will try and see what you see in him" Candice said

With that Zoe got up and headed back to her room. Wade was laying in her bed smiling.

"You know if you are going to ease drop on my conversation you should hide better." Zoe said sitting down next to him on the bed.

"Sorry I didn't mean to Doc, I was just going to tell you I was out but then I heard my name and I couldn't resist listening." Wade said grabbing her hips

"How much did you hear" Zoe asked laying her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beating fast.

"Everything after your Mom said 'I was just you rebound'" Wade said

That meant he had heard me tell my Mom I was falling in love with him. "You know your not my rebound right" Zoe said

"Yes I know that' Wade said. He could tell she was freaking out because he new she that he heard her say she was falling in love with him.

"We should go, don't want to be late" Zoe said

Zoe got up and hopped out of the bed. Wade followed close behind grabbing her hand.

"Zoe I am falling in love with you too" Wade said before cupping his hands around her face.

With that they walked hand in hand out the condo. When they walked out of the elevator Chris was standing there. He noticed Zoe holding hands with Wade.

Zoe saw Chris out of the corner of her eye. "You have got to be kidding me" Zoe said

"What" Wade asked confused about what Zoe was talking about

"It's Chris" Zoe said

Chris saw her and started walking towards them.

"Hey Zoe" Chris said

"Hi Chris what are you doing here" Zoe said

"Your Mom called me and told me you were back in New York" Chris said

"Doc I'll be over there" Wade said walking away from the two

"Who is that" Chris asked

"Wade" Zoe asked

"Is he" Chris asked

"Yes he is my boyfriend" Zoe said

"So that explains why your Mom said your confused" Chris said

"Well I'm not confused" Zoe said

Chris grabbed Zoe and Wade wanted so much to go up to Chris and punch him in the face but he didn't he knew Zoe was tough and could handle it.

"Yes you are Zoe. I made a big mistake breaking up with you. I regret it everyday. I never should have I love you Zoe" Chris said leaning in to kiss Zoe. But Zoe pushed him away.

"Chris you need to leave right now" Zoe said

"No I am not leaving you with that low life" Chris said grabbing her again

Wade couldn't hold back anymore he wasn't going to stand by and watch this any longer. He went up to Chris and decked him straight in the face.

Wade hit him so hard Chris fell to the ground.

"He is not a low life, actually I think that is you" Zoe said

"Zoe, don't do this we are meant to be I love you and you love me. You are so much better than then this hick from that loser town in Alabama." Chris said

Zoe looked at Wade and nodded. Wade grabbed Chris's hand and pulled him up just to punch him in the face again. Zoe grabbed Wade's hand and they headed to the restaurant but not before Wade could whisper something in Chris's ear "How does it feel to lose a princess twice"

They arrived at the restaurant. Zoe and Wade get seated at the table. Zoe sits in the inside of the booth and Wade sits on the outside.

"So who is coming" Wade asks

"My friend Marisa and my friend Amanda. I worked with them at the hospital" Zoe said

Zoe went on telling Wade stories about them and the things they use to do. Then Marisa and Amanda arrived.

"Zoe!" Marisa screamed

Wade got out of the booth to let Zoe out. Zoe got up to hug Marisa and Amanda.

"Wow Zoe you look great' Amanda said

"Thanks" Zoe said with a little giggle. She didn't think she looked different. Maybe it was because she was genuinely happy.

"You both look good too" Zoe said

They all sat back down in the booth. They all were so caught up in their conversation they didn't even notice Wade. But he didn't mind. He enjoyed watching Zoe smile, laugh and hearing some of the stories she probably would never tell him. When the waiter came over to take their orders and the girls were broke out of their conversation that's when they noticed Wade.

"Zoe introduce us" Marisa said

"This is Wade, Wade that's Marisa and that's Amanda." Zoe said

Wade put out his hand to shake the girl's hands. "Nice to meet you both" Wade said

"Zoe spill" Amanda said

"Spill what" Zoe said a little embarrassed. She never had to introduce a guy to anyone it kind of just happened and she was already dating Chris when she meet Marisa and Amanda.

"Fine we will just ask Wade then. How long have you guys been together" Marisa said

Wade looked at Zoe and smiled. He grabbed her hand and held it under the table. "A week" Wade said

"You have only been together for a week and you're in New York" Marisa said

"Damn boy you must be whipped" Amanda said

"Yeah he is pretty whipped" Zoe said giggling

"I am not whipped lets just get that straight" Wade said

"So let's have some more details" Amanda said

They told them about the day they meet, the fuse box, Zoe's drunken night in his car, the founder's day parade, the heat wave, the night of the hurricane, and the accident.

"So Wade what do you do for a living" Wade said

"Well I am not a Doctor or a lawyer. I am a bartender" Wade said he didn't know how Zoe's friends would react.

"A bartender" Marisa said looking at Zoe

"Wade tell them the whole thing" Zoe said

"Well I just recently bought the bar" Wade said

"Wow that's great" Amanda said

They finished eating and walked out the restaurant.

"I'll be over there. It was a pleasure to meet you guys" Wade said putting out his hand to shake the girl's hands.

"I don't know what you folks do in Bluebell but we up here hug" Marisa said giving Wade a hug

Then Amanda gave Wade a hug. Then Wade walked away to let the girls say goodbye.

"He seems like a great guy, he truly cares about you. He better treat you right or else." Marisa said giving Zoe a hug

"You guys look cute together" Amanda said giving Zoe a hug.

"Thanks guys. I had a great time tonight" Zoe said walking down the sidewalk.

The girls watched their friend walk down the sidewalk, kiss her boyfriend, grab his hand and walk down the empty sidewalk. From behind they looked like the perfect couple. For their friends sake they hoped it was true.
