I do not own the characters. Just the plot.

I hope you enjoy the Melody of the Heart Chapter 4!

For texting:

Will

Nico

Lou

Nico

Once I get back to the office all I can think about is the small piece of paper in my pocket.

Talking to Will Solace has made me flustered and the rest of the day seems to pass by in a blur. I stare down at the number, trying to gain the courage to text him.

I quickly send,

"Hello Will."

I stare down at it. 'Am I an idiot! How is he supposed to know that it is me?! What was I thinking?!' I stop my internal freak out as I feel my phone vibrate,

"I take it this is Nico?"

'Wow, he knows that it is me! 'probably because any normal person would include their name, and you are being a weirdo! Idiota!'

"Yes, this is Nico, sorry I forgot to type out my name."

'Just act normal Nico, he doesn't make you nervous, he doesn't make you nervous…'

"It's all good, I assumed it was you."

'so he does think you're an idiot'

"So, anyway. Want to meet up for coffee sometime?"

'Wait he actually wants to meet with me?!'

"Coffee sounds good. When?"

"How about tomorrow? When are you free?"

"I get off around 6, if that is not too late to get coffee"

"Sounds good to me. Where do you want to go…café McShizzle?"

'Hades NO! I do not want my sister and friends knowing that I am going to get coffee with Will! Oh definitely NOT! I would never hear the end of it.'

"Ummm… how about Olympia it's a couple of blocks away from there if that is not too far away"

"Sounds great… see you tomorrow Nico :) Also is there a last name to go with my coffee date?"

'OH my gods, he called it a date. Does that mean that he likes me? Does that mean that he is gay? Hold on a damn minute Nico, don't get ahead of yourself!"

"Yeah see you then. My last name is di, Angelo."

I exhaled a breath that I didn't even know I was holding. 'Did I sound desperate? I thought I played it off cool.' Then it hit me. I was going on a coffee date with Will Solace.

"That's a lovely last name! I will see you tomorrow, bye Nico!"

I feel like I should be leaping around with joy, instead, I am just nervous.

I look over to the setting sun. Will said that it seemed like I knew about music, what am I supposed to say if he asks me if I play any instruments? I don't really want to talk about it, especially with a guy I just met. I don't want any pity.

Will

Texting with Nico was nerve-wracking, I felt like I was going to mess up. He is just so attractive, and he seems to know about music. The total package.

He also has an air of intimidation around himself. My stomach is still doing summersaults. I lie back on my chair as my phone dings. I look at it slightly hoping it's Nico. Instead, I am getting a call from Lou Ellen. I answer and wait silently for a second.

"Well hello, William, my little Beethoven!"

"Hello, Lou darling."

Talking to Lou always makes me feel better.

"What's going on Will?"

"Oh, just got a date with a hot guy."

"Ohhh and who would this hot guy be?"

"Nico di Angelo, isn't it an intriguing name?"

"Very Italian! It sounds kind of familiar, don't you think so my baby boy?"

'So, it is Italian, that beautiful! I wonder if Nico speaks any! I'll have to ask him tomorrow!'

"I thought it did, but I can't put my finger on it."

"Well, we will figure it out next time we meet up darling."

Lou purred into the phone.

We chatted for a while before I said goodbye to her.

'It's interesting, it wasn't just me that thought that Nico's name sounded familiar.'

I am trying to put it out of my mind, I get up and move to my baby grand piano. I begin to play a song that I had been working on, for some reason I just cannot get it exactly right. I keep thinking about adding another instrument, but I cannot decide which one would pair well.

I just keep playing the same line repeatedly, until I forgot I am even playing it, my mind is a complete blank.

I snapped out of it as I realize I am playing a familiar song, but I cannot remember the name of it.

Hours later as I am getting ready for bed, my mind keeps racing between thinking about my date with Nico and trying to remember the name of the song.

I fall into a restless sleep, dreaming about a shadowed man playing the unnamable song on a small violin.

I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know your thoughts in the reviews and have a great day!

With love,
