Chapter 8

The Captain led Maria downstairs, around some corridors, until they reached the music room. Maria looked around in awe, upon seeing the beautiful place. It was a large place. There were violins in a cabinet with glass doors, bongos and guitars inside another cabinet, a shelf with folders of music pieces, music books, and some vinyl records, and a phonograph on top of it. There were also cellos beside the cabinets where the violins, bongos, and guitars were. Beside it, there was also a lyre. There were also trumpets and clarinets in large cabinets also with glass doors. To top it all off, there was a large, black, shiny grand piano in the centre.

The music room had a large gate in where you could see a wonderful view of the gardens and lets in sunlight.

"Do you like it?" the Captain suddenly said. "Oh, yes Captain. It looks so…wonderful," Maria replied. "Come on," the Captain said, grabbing a hold of her hand and leading her to the piano. Maria felt herself blush.

"C-Captain, I'm not that good in playing the piano. I can only play the melody part," Maria said.

"Is that so? Come on, I'll teach you," the Captain said, patting the space left from the chair, offering Maria to sit.

Maria sat.

"So, what are the tunes?" the Captain asked, locking his gaze on her. Maria felt herself blush, but she got her paper nd started to tell the Captain the notes, and eventually sang the chorus to him.

He played it wonderfully on the piano, and soon enough, the two started to compose the songs, smiling, laughing and blushing.

"So, could I be part of your show for the children?" the Captain asked. He locked his gaze and put his hand on top of hers. Maria looked at the hand, then looked up at the Captain. The Captain locked their gaze and put his hand on top of hers. Maria simply nodded, not looking away for his gaze.

"Good. Anyway, I also brought you here to teach you how to play the piano, right?" the Captain said.

"Oh, yes," Maria replied. The Captain stood up and went behind her.

" So, what song?" the Captain said. Then he smiled. "Oh, I know," he said. Maria was expecting him to play, but he grabbed both her hands and played "The Sound of Music". Maria felt herself blush. The Captain's face was near her, only he was looking at the piano.

When the Captain finished the song, he looked at her eyes. They both locked their eyes on each other. Maria noticed that their faces were inches apart.

"Georg?" a voice called from outside. They didn't notice the call, they were too focused on each other.

"Georg! There you are! I see we're having a flirting session here," a voice said. Georg teared his eyes away from her, and looked at the doorway. Max was there, a smirk on his face.
