(FIRST OFF! I'm not making a part 2 to "The Kidnapped Prince"! Anyway! Back to the topic. Will is a regular at the cafe by the hospital he works at. One of the baristas catches his eyes. One day that batista's ex decides to make a scene at the cafe.)

~Will POV~

"Hey, Nico." I said.

The dark-haired angel behind the counter looked up and smiled.

"Will." He said. "Good morning. You're regular?"

"Mhm!" I said.

He handed me a cup.

"Good because I already prepared it!" He said.

Surprised, I took it. I paid then took a sip. Tastes perfect.

"Thanks." I smiled.

Nico smiled, his pale cheeks turning a light pink.

My pager went off and I checked it. Dam. I forgot I booked an appointment this morning. I grimaced.

"I have to go." I sighed. "I'll see you tomorrow though."

I started to walk away but then decided to finally ask.

"Hey, Nico?" I asked.

"Hm?" He said, looking up.

"Are you seeing anyone?" I asked.

He gave me a shocked look as his cheeks turned scarlet.

"No." He said. "I've been single for two and a half months actually."

"Could I get your number?" I asked.

He started looking around the counter and scrambling for something. Finally he grabbed a napkin and a pen. He scribbled down his number then handed me the napkin.

"I'll text you later." I said.

He nodded, smiling. I grinned at him then left

{Several Hours Later}

~Nico POV~

My phone buzzed and I jumped, almost dropping it.

Unknown
Hey, Nico!
It's Will.

I smiled. He actually texted me? My heart did a little flutter.

Me
Ciao!

Will
Wanna grab lunch tomorrow?

Me
Yeah
That would be nice
Where were you thinking?

Will
You know that diner a couple blocks away from the cafe?

Me
I love that place!

Will
Me too!

A different text conversation buzzed and my heart dropped.

Brad
I was wondering if you wanted to catch up?
I know we've broke up but I miss you

I deleted the notifications and focused on my conversation with Will.

Will
I normally go on lunch at about 11
Would that time work for you?

Me
Yep
