Last time on Mine and Mine Only:

"Then what is it time for? Make Andie mad again? Piss Andie off more? Or my personal favorite...it's all Chase's fault for all the things that have gone wrong or is wrong."

"That's because maybe it is your fault!" She screams.

"GUYS!" Cable hollers. "We're locked in here. The door is jammed!"

"What?!" Andie and I both yell.

Andie's POV:

Oh my gosh! We're all gonna die! We're all gonna die! I'll get buried alive!

"Andie, will you stop mumbling 'I'll get buried alive!'" Chase says irritated.

"It's all thanks to you that we're stuck in here!" I shout.

"Andie, I'm right here, you don't need to shout! And it's not my fault. You're saying it as if I went to the door and said, "Door, please get stuck!" I didn't do anything! Gosh, stop blaming me."

"Oh...now I'm to blame?"

"No one said you were to blame, Andie!" Cable yells. "Will you both shut up? I can't stand being in here right now and you guys arguing is making it worse!"

"Shut up!" Chase and I yell back.

"Well, at least you two agree on something." Cable mumbles.

"So how are we gonna find a way out?" Chase asks.

"I don't know...you're acting if I know." I say.

"Andie, will you stop picking fights?" Cable asks furiously.

"Yeah, stop picking fights!" Chase repeats.

"You too, Chase!" I start laughing, while Chase glares at me. "Gosh, you two are so immature, why can't you just tell each other how you feel about each other? Instead you have to get us all worked up and make our lives miserable by not seeing the obvious. You know what? I'm sick and tired of all this crap, I'm gonna go sleep in that storage room." He points to a tiny room in the corner and goes in there.

"So what do we do now?" I ask.

"What do you mean what do we do?"

"That's exactly what I mean."

"I don't know...wait."

"That's all you could come up with...wait."

"Yeah, what? You want me to break the door? No way, even though my brother is the director...the payment of that door is gonna come out of my bank account."

"Aww...poor baby's gonna lose his money!"

"Whatever."

"What happened, Chase? Speechless?"

"You know what? No, I'm not. I'm sick and tired of keeping this on the inside."

"Keep what?"

"Dang it, I love you, Andie West! I'll say it out loud and proud. I'll pronounce it to the world, heck...I'll even put up signs all around the school. I want you, Andie."

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? You're the only girl for me, you're the one. I know it's very cliché, but it's how I feel."

"I don't understand how it's me...you can have any girl you want and you want me?"

"Yeah, why is that hard to believe? I told you how I felt the day of the salsa competition, I don't know why you keep pushing me away."

"Me? Push you away? Please...you're pushing me away. I..." I start to say, but then stop mid-sentence because I realize he's right. "You're right."

"No, we're both wrong."

"What?"

"We both made our mistakes...it's cost us a lot. It's mostly my fault. That kiss we shared that night. It was everything I could've asked for and much more, I was just scared that you wouldn't feel the same way about me or that you would never think of me in that way."

"Chase..."

"No, let me finish. I think we're meant to be together...even though we're like total opposites, there's something special there and we would both be foolish to let it go."

" I love you too." I blurt out and then quickly cover my mouth.

"What did you say?"

"I love you too. I mean it this time, I don't wanna mess it up more than it is now. Chase, when I'm with you...I feel wonderful and out of this world. You make me happy and..." I get cut off by Chase's finger over my lips.

"Shh..." He whispers and he starts to lean in and I start to lean in too.

Our lips are only a few millimeters apart now and Chase is about to lean in and capture my lips when Cable runs out of the storage room screaming like a girl.

"What's wrong?" Chase asks.

"There was a huge rat in there, dude! It was huge, I repeat, freakin' HUGE!" Cable says frantically.

"Uh...you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, it's not like I was scared or anything." Cable says.

"Uh..yeah I'm gonna check the room." Chase says uneasily and walks to the storage room. Once he's out of hearing range, I sock Cable in the shoulder.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"Cable...Chase and I were about to kiss! Couldn't you wait a little longer to come out?"

"Well, I'm sorry I interrupted you. I didn't know, gosh can you let me explain before you resort to violence the next time?"

"Fine. But after Chase comes out, you go back in there...got it?"

"What?! Back in the rat room? No way!"

"I thought you weren't afraid or anything?"

"I just said that to make me look manly instead of girly!"

"You go back in there or I'll tell everyone what you did as a kid!"

"You wouldn't..."

"Oh, yes I would. Sophie could spread a rumor like wildfire, can you think of how fast it will take for your story to go around?"

"I never thought you were able to blackmail, Andie. But I accept."

"Thanks Cable!" I come and hug him.

"First, you hit me and then you hug me." Just then Chase comes out looking like he's saw a monster.

"Dude, that rat is huge!" He says, while shivering in fear and I cough signaling Cable to go back in.

"Uh...guess I'll go back there."

"What? I thought you wanted to get out..."

"Chase...I'm a guy, we're not scared of rats. But I can see you are." He says oddly and then walks back into the storage closet.

"Uh...so..." I start to say, but can't finish.

"Yeah...so..."

"So, how big was the rat?"

"Oh, huge. You would scream really loud if you saw it."

"Oh my gosh! Is that the sound I heard?"

"Shut up." He says and then pulls me in by my waist. Again, we both start leaning in. Our lips are closer than what they were before.

"I love you, Andie." Chase whispers against my lips.

"I love the guy who is scared of rats too." I say and then he chuckles before leaning in closer. Just as our lips were about to touch, the door of the room collapses.

On the other side of the door that was once there, we see Blake, Sophie, Moose, and the rest of the crew waving and smiling. Chase and I break apart quickly and come to the door.

"Oh thank gosh, you're alright! We were scared to death!" Blake says and hugs Chase and me. Wow! That was weird!

"Uh...I'm gonna go get Cable." Chase says softly.

"So, what were you two up to before we intruded?" Sophie asks curiously.

"For your information, we were about to kiss until you had to break the door. Thanks Sophie! I thought you wanted us to get together."

"I did...Andie, I don't have some psychic power to see when or when you aren't gonna kiss Chase. Forgive and forget, right?"

"Fine...only because you're Sophie Donovan."

"That's my girl!"

"Hey! We're alive and we're not gonna get buried alive!" Cable says and looks at me. Everybody laughs and we head out to go to the Chinese restaurant across the street.

"Andie, can we talk after dinner?" Chase asks me.

"Yeah, I'd love that."

"Great." He says with a smile and kisses me on the forehead.
