Chapter 6

"How does that happen?" Levon asked. He seemed extremely interested in this now.

"Uh…previous marriage." I said more as a suggestion then in confidence.

"Really? And a very fast engagement!"

"No kidding." I just sat there and picked at the breakfast burrito on my plate in front of me.

"So…" He looked at me confused. "What are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to keep the practice, I'm going to be successful." Levon smiled and set down a glass of milk by my plate. I lifted it up to my lips.

"Thank you." I said before I took a sip and started to eat my breakfast.

"But ya know…you should probably call George before he gets all of the paperwork done." He says casually I looked at him with wide eyes and a mouth full of breakfast food.

"Oh, shooghnht!" I barely got the word out; it was supposed to be shoot. I ran out the door but immediately came back in. I picked up the keys on the hook by the door and looked at Levon pleadingly. He nodded his head and I ran to the car. I think I broke a lot of laws driving to George's house. I got there and knocked on the door profusely.

"What do you want?" Lemon says as she ripped open the door.

"Yeah, hi, I need to talk to George."

"Why?"

"I don't really have time to explain, is he here or not?"

"No. He is not."

"And do you know where he is at?" She looks at me like she's un-sure.

"Look, I know you hate me, Lemon. I don't know why, but I know that you do. But would you just tell me where George is at, because I'm not going to go flirt with him, it's all business."

"He's at his office." She finally replied snobbishly.

"Thank you!" It didn't come out sounding like a thank you though. I ran back to the car which is not easy to do in heals by the way. When I got to his office there were two cars out front, I recognized them both unfortunately. I ran inside without locking the door of the car and rushed inside.

"Wait!" I yelled as soon as I opened the door.

"I'm not leaving!" I said, feeling reassured. George and another person, who I have no idea who he was, looked up, confused at me. I looked around the room and then at the two people sitting at the desk.

"Sorry…I'll…wait in the lobby…" They smiled and went back to their conversation. I sat down on the couch in the lobby that seemed like every other lobby in this town. After a few minutes the man left and George said to come sit at his desk.

"Hello." I said, trying to sound professional.

"Can I help you with something, Zoe? I thought you were leaving today?"

"I'm not…anymore. I'm staying, so please tell me you haven't already done the paperwork to sign my part of the practice over to Brick." He looked at me disappointed – that scared me.

"I called Brick this morning…" No. I can't be too late. What have I done? "He was supposed to come in in half an hour and sign the papers." I looked at him in shock, I got a huge smile on my face.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said as I ran around the desk to hug him. We both kind of laughed and then it got a little…awkward.

It felt like he was holding me. The way his arms were wrapped around me, the fact that our heads were on each other's shoulders, and I felt safe. I took in a deep breath and started to pull away when I heard a gasp. I looked over my shoulder and Lemon was there. We didn't do anything but I had a feeling that this wouldn't end well. She had tears in her eyes and part of me felt bad but all I could think was, 'what a drama queen.'

"I knew it." She says as she walks out of the office.

"I'm sorry." George says as he tries to follow after her.

"George…I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it."

"I know." He gives a sly smile and runs after her.

George POV

"Lemon! Will you just wait?"

"Why? Why her, George?"

"What do you mean why her? Lemon, we're just friends!"

"Friends, especially a boy and a girl, don't do that and stay just friends."

"That's not true. Lemon, I think that you're overreacting. It's not fair to either of us. Zoe is a friend and a client of mine. Friends hug, friends hang out, and friends definitely care for each other; but not the way that I feel about you." Lemon smiled at me.

"I don't like her, George."

"Lemon…we both are not perfect. We both do things that the other doesn't like. We both have friends that the other doesn't like…we also both have each other, and we both love that." I put my hands on her shoulders and pull her into a hug.

"It's ok for me to have a girl that's a friend. But you'll always be my girl." We walked back to my office to lock the doors. Zoe, or more accurately Levon's, car was gone. I wanted to avoid it but I felt disappointed. I liked Zoe. Zoe and I had so much in common; we both loved new York and everything in it. We would have a lot of fun. Could have had a lot of fun. I loved Lemon. Lemon and I had been together too long to just give up during hard times. We meant too much.

I'm so sorry about the wait! I've had some…family issues and then my computer needed some repairs and I didn't have it for 2 ½ weeks. :( x1,000,000,000. Anyway, it's getting a little slow it seems so could any of you suggest anything? Thanks for reading and all reviews that are nice!
