Fractured Heartstrings

Ch 20

William's POV
__________

In any other reason, I wasn't much of a fan for fresh starts. Clearly, our relationship needed one. As much as I'd try to forget about the long ago past - I knew I probably never could. Some things just tend to stick with me longer than others.

The sun shone above all the land-covering trees, reminding me there wasn't anywhere else I'd rather be than home. Frankly, as much as I'd have a hard time calling Toronto my home - Sweden was.

I stopped in my tracks, turning to face Alyssa as she directed her camera towards the flock of birds. Completely unaware of the day I had planned start through the depth of thoughts and creativity lurking in my mind.

"Hey pretty lady, I have a question for you ... " I sung, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips as I remained to nervously hold the flowers behind my back. I promised to meet her down at the fountain of glorious beauty, which I was only now doing.

I smiled as she confusingly took her gaze off her camera, raising a brow and tilted her head at what exactly it was I was doing. I grinned more as I held out my free hand, "I'm William, Will Nylander."

She glared her eyes as assumably only more confusion struck her; yet despite her every reasons of curiosity - she shook my hand. "William ... what're you doing?" She asked in such a hushed tone, like she was fearing we were being watched - at least that's what I sensed when she glanced at every corner in some intimidating confusions of fear.

I shrugged, "I wasn't sure if I had a chance with such a woman like you. I was just curiously wondering if you'd like to go out with me, because I really, really, want to go out with you ... Preferably tonight at the club around the corner."

My heart fluttered once I saw her expressionless emotion, curl into the stunning smile I barely ever see. "So you're asking me out?"

I blushed while looking down to the stoned paved grounds, but quickly gaining my confidence to gleam deep down into the softness of her eyes. "I guess I am."

"Great then it's a date!" She exclaimed, the look of eagerness and not overcoming her body expressions and emotions.

"Good"

"Good"

"Okay"

"Okay"

"Oh wait, lady! I forgot your flowers!" I yelled back at her as she swung right around with a smirk etched on her face. Handing her the roses bundled up as she approached me, smiling once she took them.

"I'll see you tonight," she whispered after softly kissing my cheek and turning on her heels to walk away. I chuckled as I glared at her walk back to the direction of my parent's place.

If talking couldn't heal what seemed to be broken and lost, then I assumed reliving would. It would just take time to pain the black and white picture. I know how to tell the difference between wrong and right, and if thing things differently - maybe that could be the start of right. Although deep down I knew nothing would come between her and I - just as long as we tried.

Even if someone about a year ago was to simply tell me I'd be with Alyssa, I would've laughed and denied. In life sometimes assuming isn't always correct, because I ended up falling for the most intelligently gorgeous of all.

Now it wasn't her outside appealing that got me falling before her eyes, but the way my heart fluttered when she laughed. The way she smiled that instantly got me going. Her passion in what she did and how to ever improve. The way she kindly offered help for everyone. But how she passionately never took no as an answer.
