Chapter 2: All in the Name of Love

"Your the biggest bunch of babies I've ever had the liberty of coaching! A few hours of extra effort and your acting like I threw you into battle!"

"Coach" Andrew sighed "That wasn't just a few hours"

"I'm sorry Mr. Andrew , are you asking me for another 2 laps around the stadium!"

"No sir."

"Well then, all of you hit the showers! It's been one good year, one good team."

Duke walked out of the boys changing room and noticed a tapping coming from the wooden bleachers above him. Making his way around to the front of them, he could see a familiar figured lying down in the middle of the seats.

"Bad enough we had to go through this practise, but you gotta make me walk up these steps"

"Hi" Viola said knowingly

"Waiting for me?"

"Well I was thinking about it but by the time I got up here my legs lost all power and now I'm stuck" She opened her eyes

"Thaaat hurt" Duke stressed his words as he slowly took a seat in front of Viola, leaning his head against the side of her stomach.

The two sat in silence keeping their eyes closed as he played with her fingers and she strummed his close shaved hair with her available hand.

"Are you tired?" she finally broke the silence

He breathed out a laugh "After the practise we just had? No way"

"I mean, are you too tired to talk?"

"To you? Never. What's up?" his head turned to face her as she looked down at him

"What's up is that we've gone forever without bringing up the fact that this was our last practise of the year and in two days schools out, then in a weeks time were gone our separate ways for two months…"

Vi…" Duke tried to interrupt as Viola caught her breath and continued

"And your just trying to stop me from talking about it because you don't wanna talk about it, event though you know and I know that we HAVE to talk about it and cant leave it un- talked about!" Viola pouted the end

Duke glanced up at her stubborn face and couldn't help but smile "Vi, does your body have enough energy to sit down here next to me?"

Slowly Viola swung her legs over Dukes head to his other side and abruptly plopped down next to him as his arm wrapped around her shoulders and her hand slightly patted her soon- to- be bruised butt.

"Its gonna be tough, and being so far away from you for such along time makes it harder" Duke admitted

"I guess we are going far huh?"

"Well lets see, your going to Greece on a travel soccer internship…"

"…And your going to train under my dreams schools roof"

"Really though I'm not going that far, Carolina holds training in these divided fields just 10 minutes out of town" Duck noted

"Greattt, so you drive 10 minutes in and out of town everyday while I'm a good 12 hour plane flight away, in a country filled with residents that have fungus sounding last names"

"Well if it makes you feel better, because of traffic my trips might take more then just 10 minutes"

Letting a laugh escape her mouth Viola spoke between breaths "How are we gonna get through the summer?"

Squeezing her tighter Duke re-assured her "We will."

After a moment or two of silence Duke added "Think we should head back now?"

Viola nodded "This bench isn't getting any softer"

The two headed towards their dorms for a long awaited sleep.
