Hilde inhaled a deep breath than bit down on her bottom lip yet again, as she moved from behind the door and enter the large room slowly. " H-How did you know I was there?" she asked.
She watched as the man shrugged his shoulder and turned around, " I have the sixth sense you could say."
' She is beautiful' he thought, she stood with her hands clasped before her and suited in her blue and black uniform her eyes shifted away from him.
" Is that your way of a sense of humor?" she asked, her eyes never looking at him.
" No, my sense of humor is censored for the time being...so how old are you?" he asked politely.
" Why would you want to know that sir?" she asked.
" Because judging by the way your feet hardly make a sound against this carpet floor you can't be more than a child," he stated.
" sixteen, I'm not a child..and why would you pay attention to the noise and not the appearance?" she asked curiously.
' Because I'm suppose to be blind for the time being, but oh how I wish I could act as myself and speak to you with out this mask and crap. Cause you sure are cute and plus your my age..' he thought, but quickly scolded himself for such thoughts. " I'm blind so I can only pay attention to sound or feeling those two things get me around."
" I didn't know..I'm sorry," she breathed.
" No..you don't need to be sorry over such a thing after all you didn't cause this blackness in my eyes," he said.
Hilde couldn't help but look over the man before her, his hair was white as cloud and his skin pale and wrinkles and creases every here and there. She frowned in disapproval of the old man, he wasn't what she'd expected no he was so different from what she expected. " Can you play another song?" she asked.
" Sure, would you like to come over and sit with me?" he asked.
Hilde nodded, but quickly caught her mistake and chirped, " Yes!" than stalked over and sat down beside him.
" This is a classic let's see if you know it," he smiled, his fingers glided over the rough texture of the clavier and the whole room seemed to soar to life at that moment.
Hilde laughed as she recognized the tune and begun to sing along with it, " under the sea under the sea life is much better down where it is wetter take it from me."
The man halted his playing and Hilde turned to look at him, " So you can sing..and also guess great music when you hear it," he laughed.
" Well if the little mermaid is a classic than I think I could guess them all very well," she smiled.
" Yes and sing," he added.
Hilde blushed, " no..I can't sing all that good I'm just about as good as swine," Hilde told.
" Not true..I happen to think you are a great singer," he smiled, " how bout I play another and you sing with it okay?"
Hilde nodded and waited till he picked up his pace on the clavier her eyes lighten as she recognized the tune ' twinkle twinkle little stars' and begun to sing along.
Seconds turned into minutes and than minutes to hours and Hilde and the old man still sat at the piano goofing around, singing, playing, talking. Hilde couldn't help but feel so good around the old man, it was like he was a kids trapped in an old man's body, one that wanted to escape so badly.
" Oh my it's dark outside, I need to go and punch out and get home," Hilde said, as she jumped off the stool that she was seated on and nearly tripped over herself. " My brother is going to kill me," she uttered as she looked at her watched that read: eight fifteen. " Will you be here tomorrow?"
" Yes, will you?" he asked.
" Yeah, of course right now I need to get back home before me brother goes crazy," Hilde half laughed, as she rushed out of the large room.
" Boy is this mission going to be harder than I thought now," The old man whispered, as he scratch the back of his head.
