Happy Holidays!!!
Duke's POV:
"Do you love me?" I ask. Ugh! Stupid question!
"I asked first."
"Well, I asked second."
"And your point is...?"
"Nothing, I wasn't making a point. Lets just go home."
"No. I want you to answer my question."
"Why?"
"Why don't you answer my question first?"
"I asked first."
"Well, I think I deserve the answer to my question first."
"What is it?"
"Why didn't you tell me about Leah?"
"Everything you had or could have would be gone. That would be too much to do to you."
"I wouldn't have cared, I loved you then. I would've stayed by your side."
"Would you? You had a scholarship going for you...I really don't think you would've stayed by my side with all those opportunities and options you had."
"Were you doubting me?"
"I was doubting myself. I didn't know if I was gonna be a mistake to you. I knew your dreams and goals and I didn't want to be the one who crushed them for you by being pregnant."
"Leah wasn't a mistake."
"I know, I was."
"What?"
"It was a mistake for coming back and leading you on for that long."
"Why are you doing this and still wanting to know if I love you if it doesn't the perspective of the situation for you?"
"I don't know."
"And you don't want to be romantically involved with me anymore?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Do you still love me?"
"No."
Is that the truth or lie, Viola? How can I drive for hundreds of miles and hear you say you don't love me anymore? Only one way to find out...
I pull her in towards me and kiss her. At first, she resists, but she gets tired of swinging her arms and finally puts them around my neck and deepens the kiss. We finally pull out and she looks away shyly.
"Liar."
"What did you call me, Orsino?"
"Stop lying and shut up."
She starts to say something, but I place my lips over hers.
The truth is always revealed with one little test.
The kiss.
So what do you think?
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed the chapter!
