I love kittens too! Thankyou for your wondrous support and you are forgiven as I never thought in a million years that I would receive four reviews in four hours for updating and yes, we will soon find out how this story progresses.

Tmntlover2013 thankyou for your reviews and on going support, I do hope you will continue to read and review as I will know what happens next as I don't want to spoil the next chapter.

I was going to add in a song lyric but can not find the right one just yet. We haven't gotten to the love scene just yet but will shortly. Onwards to the following chapter and I must warn you, it will be short. I do apologise, otherwise I'll try my best lengthen the chapter by merging it of the next scene that I was going to write in the next chapter so it doesn't seem too short of a read.

chapter 11

The purple clad terrapin smiled happily, knowing that he hadn't scared Vivian away as he had realised that she still wished to see him. Closed and placed his phone down on the desk as he leaned back in his chair, exhaled with relief and excitement. Donnie isn't one to write poetry so he did his best in reading some before he wrote one of his own, in hope to impress Vivian.

Turning his laptop on, and searched for most popular love poetry there is, in history but the best published poetry ever written was by William Shakespeare, only problem was that most of his work were of play. So the purple clad terrapin read the first one he was drawn to. The play of Romeo and Juliet. Then finally, his inspiration came to light.

Quickly searched for a clean page to write the draft before writing onto a perfectly designed poem card that he had created on the computer. Took a few minutes for the final result as he was exceptionally pleased with what he had written then, wrote on the poem card.

Decorating it in specific detail so it would appear, appealing to how he saw Vivian. Waiting for the card to print while had the envelope waiting to carry. He also looked for the same florist where he got the first lot of flowers from and made a request before the shop closed over the phone. Luckily the florist had just enough to make the bouquet that he wanted as she went straight in to work of making it as she was told that he'd give her a tip for her services. How could the florist refused if she is going to receive extra for her over time despite she is the business owner? As she did say on her business card, 'request whatever you wish before closing and get a 10% off your order'. But in this case, instead giving a 10% for the customer she will be getting a 10% tip as the customers generosity.

Just as when he was about to leave his room, sheathing his Bo staff and put on his coat and hat. The door had opened just as he was about to open it and faced his older brother, raphael standing there. Curiously wondered what and where he was about to take off to. "Well, where are you off to in such a hurry Donnie?"

"No where special, raph. Now if you would excuse me." Donnie replied, gently brushed past the red clad terrapin on his way out of the room while he stood, watching him. Then suddenly the old rat walked out of his private chambers, smiled as he too noticed his son was leaving but said nothing as he presumably thought, what Donatello could be doing and whom he was meeting with as it is obviously not april and casey. As he just returned from their apartment. The blue clad terrapin, looked to the old rat with a silence glance, he nodded as Leo returned the nod and stealthily followed his brother in case of trouble. Raphael and mikey were just as curious so they immediately went to the purple clad terrapin's room and tried to look into his computer for clues. Grew frustrated as neither could access the password to enter and look for what they needed to know about the secret, their brother was hiding. So they both left the lair and paid a visit to April and Casey instead. Hopefully they'd spill the beans.

Vivian quickly showered before the date as she was happy but also curious to know more about her friend. Rehearsing what she is going to say, after recalling to place the folder of her research to what she hoped could be the suspicions of his origins and whether there could be a cure for his condition. Turning the shower off, as the steam followed her out of the bathroom and into the hallway. Melly jumped on the bed, comfortably curled up around the clothes that were laid on the bed, neatly as she purred. Vivian smiled, patting her cat then scratched gently behind her ear as she nudged the fingers. Wanting more and continued purring.

Letting the towel drop to the floor, blow dried her hair then dressed in comfortable warm clothing. Taking a quick look in the mirror as she wondered whether if she dressed appropriate. Added a slight amount of make-up and loosely braided her hair, then put on a black overcoat to keep herself warm as she grabbed her handbag and the folder while making her way out. Locking the door of her apartment as when her neighbour had stepped out and smiled, greeting her. "Hey, how are you?" Vivian answered gently with a slight brow raise. "Hello, I am well. How are you?" Uncertain with the sudden hand gesture as it was raised towards her followed by a introduction. "I am Stephanie joneson."

Taking her hand and gently shook. "Vivian kendricks." With a smile, Stephanie quested her to join for a girl's night out to the local pub, this made Vivian uneasy as she respectfully declined and immediately Stephanie responded with a surprised reply. "Oh? Ok, maybe another time?"

"Maybe another time. Perhaps lunch instead?" Vivian suggested with a small smile. Stephanie nodded agreeably. "Sure, sounds good. How bout Thursday?"

"Sounds good, noon?" Vivian asked. "Noon is perfect." Stephanie smiled. "See you later?" Vivian nodded and waved goodbye as Stephanie walked in the other direction, and knocked on the fellow neighbours door hoping for the resident to join her for the night. Seeing through the opening of the elevator doors as they slowly closed, not taking much notice when Stephanie walked in the apartment and smiled to her. Sighed softly as she wondered as why people think they can try to convince her to go to places where she is not ready to visit yet. Taking the first steps out of her apartment after five years is a big thing to Vivian. As much her counsellor has suggested and encouraged about venturing out and rebuild her confidence as well her awareness of the world to avoid a repeat of her traumatic past in hope to teach others to be more aware of strangers they meet and of those may already know. Putting these thoughts aside and looked forward to the date as she has curious questions to ask Donnie about his origins and thought about how she will confess about her own.

Donnie had been waiting at the chinese restaurant for at least twenty seconds as he had arrived ten minutes earlier and grew quite anxious about the second date as he wondered if there ever were going to be a second after the last as he did, make Vivian faint when they first met. And was more surprised that she had given him a chance to get to know him better but had waited for three days though for a phone call. He presumably assumed that she'd leave and never contact him again. But that happened differently to what he assumed. Which is a relief.

Luckily he gotten the violet orchids that he wanted to give Vivian and nervously held the bouquet and card that he had written. Sweat of nervousness took over as he begun to breathe heavy slightly and shuddering worried. Just as he were about to turn around, his name was called and a excited smile grew on his face as he saw Vivian happily ran to him. Unable to move as nervous trembles surfaced and tightened grasp entwined around the bouquet as he received a kiss on his cheek and embrace followed by a sincere apology for her lateness. He blushed, then closed his eyes as he buried his face in her hair, intaking her scent. Her wonderful sweet scent of jasmine and orchids, as he gently wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm sorry for been late, Donnie." She said gently, smiling. "You weren't late, you were early actually." He corrected her as she pulled away and replied. "Oh? That is a good thing then. Want to get some food and go to the park?" Donnie couldn't believe his luck, nodding with a big smile then finally answered. "I like that."

"Would you like some garlic chicken and fried rice with spring rolls?" Vivian offered. Don smiled bigly and answered with a nod. "That sounds good, I'll have that please." Vivian giggled and said. "Shall we go in and get it together?" Don nodded and replied. "If you wish." Taking his hand and walked in the door, as ordered the food. While they waited, Vivian softly said to him as she showed a cream folder. "I have some questions to ask but I will wait until we are in the park to ask, if that is ok with you."

The purple clad terrapin smiled and answered with the same question. "That is fine, as I have some questions to ask you if that is ok with you." She nodded with a smile and also granted his conquest as the host brought their order and handed over the counter, paying for the fee then left the restaurant. Unaware they are been watched from the rooftops, the shadowy figure watched over them like a guardian angel of the night and followed. "Is the bench where we sat before ok? Or would like to sit by the pond?" Vivian asked. "The pond." Donnie answered. Close by in the shadows of the trees, where can not be seen was a shadowy figure watching. He smiled, pleased that knowing his brother is safe then quietly left the park, allowing him to enjoying the date.

****
Both April and Casey were enjoying a snuggly time together on the couch while watching a movie when heard familiar voices that filled the walls below as the footsteps ascended up the staircase. "Seems we have company." Casey stated, whispery. "So it seems." April whispery replied, making her way to the kitchen as she left the warmth of the blanket and her partners embrace. "Hey April, bonehead." Raph greeted the couple with a smile as he made his way to the couch and plomped himself in the seating. "Comfy?" Casey glanced the red clad terrapin. "Very." Raph smiled. "How it going dudette?" mikey greeted april. April returned the smile and answered as she handed over a cup of hot white chocolate with mashmallow. "Oh, nothing much mikey. What brings you two here tonight?"

"We came to see if you know about donnie's girlfriend." Raph said, clearing the silence. Both casey and april looked to eachother, smiled then finally replied while casey drank his beer. "That is not up to either of us to say, raph."

"Oh come on, we gotta know april." Raph whined. "Well, if Donnie wants you to know then he'll tell you." April gently told him. Raph folded his arms and grumbled under his breathe then whacked mikey on the back of the head as he mocked him. "Ouch, whats that for?"

"For been a smart ass." Raph replied.
