Chapter 13

Wade woke up to an empty bed. It was about 11 o'clock. He figured Zoe was out in the kitchen with her mom. So he got out of bed and put on a pair of jeans and a wife beater. Then he walked down the hall to the kitchen were Candice was sitting but he didn't see Zoe.

"Gigi came to get Zoe earlier to try on her dress for the wedding" Candice said

"Oh okay" Wade said. How could Zoe leave me alone with her mother after what she had said yesterday he thought to himself.

"Wade come sit" Candice said. So Wade went and sat down next to her. "So how did you become a bar owner?"

"Well I got a loan and bought it" Wade said

"The full story" Candice said

"Well when I was 10 my mama died from cancer and to cope my dad began to drink and became known as the town drunk. My brother left town as soon as he could but I stayed back to take care of my dad. The first job I found in Bluebell was a bartender at the Rammer Jammer. I just loved it so much I couldn't imagine doing anything else. In my free time I use to make different drink concoctions and people said they were really good and that's when it really hit me I could own a bar." Wade said. He paused for a moment remembering how Zoe made him lose the Bluebell Battle. "When your daughter came to town I knew I would never be good enough for her but I thought maybe if I made my dream come to life I could maybe have a chance with her. But she made me lose the first chance at opening it because she was hung up on a man with a fiancé" Wade said

"Kind of ironic isn't it" Candice said

"How so" Wade asked

"Your father is the town drunk and you own a bar" Candice said

"Hey rarely comes into town. He comes in to ask for money from me and when he decides to stand on the roof" Wade said

"What do you mean stand on the roof" Candice asked

"When he gets his government check he gets really drunk, comes to town goes on the roof and says he is going to jump unless I sing for him" Wade said remembering when Zoe first came to town and was freaking out when she saw Earl on the roof and no one was doing anything.

"Oh" Was all Candice could say

"Mrs. Hart I know you don't like me very much. In the past I haven't been the right guy for anyone. But there is something about your daughter that makes me want to change and be a better man. I am trying everyday to be the right guy for her because I think I love her" Wade said getting up and heading down the hall to the room. When he got in their he decided he had nothing better to do so he laid down and took a nap.

Around 12:30 Zoe arrived back at the Condo. She walked in the room and saw Wade sleeping so she decided to wake him up. So she jumped on him.

"Doc if you have sex you can just asked" Wade said

Zoe slapped him playfully "I bought you a tux"

"You did what" Wade said

"I bought you a tux for the wedding" Zoe said

"I was planning on wearing Jeans and a flannel" Wade said

"Yeah you wear a flannel and Gigi won't let you near the wedding" Zoe said laughing

"Doc you owe me big time" Wade said giving Zoe a kiss

"How about when we get back to Bluebell you take me fishing" Zoe said

"Pinch me, did I just hear Zoe Hart just ask me to go fishing" Zoe said

"No, shut up" Zoe said

"You're so bossy" Wade said pinching her in the hips

"Let's go get some lunch" Zoe said

So they got up and headed to go get some lunch. They went to Zoe's favorite restaurant. It was fancy a five star restaurant.

"So I had a talk with your mom this morning" Wade said

"And how did that go" Zoe said

"I'm not sure but I don't think it went very well" Wade said

Zoe grabbed Wade's hand "It doesn't matter what she thinks" Zoe said

"Then why do I feel like it does, I have never cared what anyone thinks of me and then you come along and changed everything" Wade said

"I do have that effect on most power stealing neighbors from the South" Zoe said giving Wade a kiss

So I know this chapter isn't that great and its major fluff. But I think it is needed to show how much Wade cares about Zoe. Please Review
