This chapter is dedicated to: truelover and girlz-rule!

Last time on Mine and Mine Only:

"Viola, will you ever let your guard down? I was just saying I couldn't be friends with you because what I feel for you is not very friendly."

"You hate me?"

"The opposite of that and I know you wish it was probably the opposite now, but it's too late."

"I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that...but I'm willing to be friends, but nothing more."

"Is that an ultimatum?"

"Depends on how you look at it..."

"So I'm taking that as a yes."

"Ok...then it is."

"So what now?"

"It's all or nothing."

Duke's POV:

"What am I doing here?" I ask drearily.

"Duke, friends help other friends pick out clothes." Viola says distractedly.

"But this is like the seventh time you've been in this store...today!"

"I'm looking for bargain prices...gosh!"

"You know what? I'm gonna go get a drink at the food court...just wait here for me if you're done before I come back."

"Ok." She says and wheels back to the dressing rooms.

"Girls..." I mumble and start walking towards the food court when I bump into someone.

"Sorry." The voice said and I look up to see Justin Drayton.

"Drayton?" I ask squeakily.

"Orsino...long time no see."

"Back at ya...where you've been?"

"I've been at Illyria for the past two years...I'm assistant coaching with Dinklage."

"You at Illyria? I thought you loved Cornwall."

"Haha...you're so funny, Duke. How's the tour been going?"

"Wait, how do you know I'm on a soccer tour?"

"Uh...ok, I'm gonna tell you something, but you can't tell anyone. Got it?"

"Fine, but stop acting like a girl."

"Viola kept newspapers clippings about you and swore me to secrecy not to tell anyone."

"You're such a trustworthy friend." I say sarcastically.

"Shut up...who are you here with? Or are you alone, we could go catch up at my house?"

"Actually, I'm here with Viola."

"Oh..."

"What?"

"Are you wondering why she's in a wheelchair?"

"A little...I don't know, it makes me look at her different."

"Well, she doesn't want pity or sympathy...so don't show any."

"But, why?"

"A guy from out of town came to Illyria for a party and one of her soccer players were there. She was kind of the adult supervision there and when that kid tried to force her player to have sex, she stopped the guy. The guy retaliated by pulling out his gun and by the time she saw his gun come out of his pocket, she got a head start in running. The guy caught up with her, but only shot her legs. And she had a couple of surgeries, but she still needs to remain in her wheelchair. Everyone called her a hero for doing what she did, but she always said she was only doing the right thing and there's nothing heroic about that."

"Wow...so was that guy ever caught?"

"Yeah, but it's been two years since that happened and doctors have tried everything and nothing has worked yet."

"Viola's always been very stubborn, but in a good way."

"Yeah, so are you guys back together or what?"

"What?! I thought you liked her?"

"Used to like her...it passed through, we're just friends."

"Funny...we're only friends too."

"That's a shame...she still loves you."

"How do you know that?"

"Common sense."

"Then why did she tell me she only wanted to be friends..."

"She's still testing you...to see if you'll hurt her again."

"But I'm not..."

"Anyways, Illyria is holding a dance for students and she's chaperoning. Maybe you should ask her to go together."

"She'll never go."

"Unless you ask her."

"Ask me what?" Viola says out of nowhere.

"Vi, didn't I say to wait for me?"

"Yeah, but you were out here way too long, so I had to check up on you. Oh hey, Justin!"

"Hey Vi! What are you doing at the mall?"

"Shopping for a dress for that dance at the school."

"Oh yeah...you're chaperoning right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Hey! Here's an idea! Why don't you take Duke as your date?"

"What?!" I shout.

"I think it is a good idea, but Duke, would you go?" She asks me.

"Sure...it's been ages since I went back there."

"Then it's settled. It's a date."

"Yeah, uh...a friend date."

"Yeah..." She says, but trails off.

"Who are you going with, Drayton?" I ask.

"Yvonne."

"Oh, so are you two an item?" Viola says weirdly and starts winking at Justin.

"Uh...Vi, is there something wrong with your eye?"

"No, why?"

"Why do you keep winking at me weirdly?"

"So are you two an item?"

"Maybe...I don't know yet." Viola screams and wheels over to hug Justin.

"You two are so cute together."

"Oh...that reminds me, Yvonne and Kia plan to go shopping today at the outlets for a dress, they asked if you wanted to go."

"Say yes, say yes." I whisper to myself.

"Fine, Duke. I'll call them up now and tell them to pick me up."

"Thank you." I say and come up to hug her and we don't let go until Justin coughs.

"Uh...sorry." I say softly.

"It's all right."

"So, Orsino...you comin' to my place tonight?"

"Woahh, what's going on there?" Viola asks teasingly.

"Shut up. So pizza and video games?" I ask.

"Most definitely. See you there, Orsino. You know the house, right?"

"Yup." Justin walks away leaving Viola and me alone.

"So..."

"Do you want me to drive you home, so you can change for your shopping trip?"

"Uh...sure." She says uncertainly.

We start walking towards the parking lot, when Viola calls for me.

"Duke?"

"Yeah." I turn around and she grabs me by the hands and stands up a little and puts her lips towards mines. We kiss for another minute until Viola pulls out.

Trivia time!!
