I do not own the characters. Just the plot.

Wow, it is already 2 a.m. what am I doing to myself! Well, whatever!

I hope that you enjoy Chapter 3 of Melody of the Heart!

Recap:

I look up at the sound of the doorbell ringing, it seems as if the world has frozen, and standing there is William Solace!

Nico

I watch him as he walks up to the counter to order. I see Hazel smiling at him and chatting like they know each other, after Hazel hands him his drink he turns. I shrink in my seat as he turns around and our eyes lock for a second, we are just staring at each other, on the opposite side of the café.

It feels like he is staring right into my soul.

I snap back to reality at Jason's alarm going off, signaling that it is time to head back to work. Jason and Percy get up to throw away their garbage. I slowly put my phone back into my bag, freeze up again feeling eyes resting on me. I pick up my bag slowly and toss it over my shoulder. I look over at Jason,

"Hey, you guy go ahead I have to use the restroom."

He looks back quick at him and Percy start towards the door,

"Okay don't be too late Neeks!"

I freeze up again, I don't actually have to use the restroom. Why am I stalling?

As I am over thinking someone comes and sits in the empty seat across from me. I glance up, there he is just looking at me.

"You seem familiar, who are you?"

His voice sounds deep but light, it has a clear cheerfulness to it.

"U-u-umm, my name is Nico."

'good gods Nico get yourself together what are you stuttering like a schoolgirl?!'

"Hello, Nico! I saw you at my concert last night."

"Yeah, William Solace, right? … it was very good!"

My voice squeaks 'oh dear lord'.

His smile widens, I can feel my heartbeat faster as blood rushes to my cheeks.

"So, Nico. Fancy running into you here!"

He smiles even bigger and I look at my feet.

'Come on Nico pull yourself together. You are just talking; you can do this!'

The second I look back up at his smiling face I know I don't stand a gods' damn chance.

"Y-y-yeah funny running into each other"

Why am I doing mouth acrobatics trying to get even a sentence out!

"Here!"

He is handing me a piece of paper. I look up at him questioningly.

"Take it, it's my number…"

I gap at him.

'Wait WHAT! His number but I haven't been able to get a word out without stuttering?!'

"Your number, but why?"

"…because I would love to talk with you about music, you seem very knowledgeable. Oh and you can call me Will!"

Oh, that. I take the piece of paper and shove it into my pocket. He smiles at me again and says in his wonderful voice

"Goodbye, Nico! Hope I run into you again."

I hear the door close behind me.

'Nico what the hades are you thinking? He doesn't like you, get your head out of the clouds!'

I feel heat stinging my cheeks I look over at Hazel, she is giving me a knowing smile. I slap myself in the face taking a deep breath. As I am finally getting myself together my phone dings, a message from Jason,

"Get your ass back to work!"

I quickly grab my bag and rush out of the café, waving goodbye at a smirking Hazel.

Will

Nico. Huh, what a beautiful name. I feel like I have heard it somewhere before. Oh well, I will figure it out later.

Oh, Nico seems familiar I wonder what that is about (hehe)
