Hello wonderful readers! This is my first story up on this site and i hope you enjoy it!This is an AU during the 1950s civil rights era. Alfred F. Jones, southern gentleman and ready to start college up in the city that never sleeps. Accompanying his uncle to live with him in a flat, he has it pretty good. Going to get a part time job, get through college and, maybe, a little romance. But these are dangerous times to live in. As the African American community starts to demand the rights they deserve, many are taking matters into their own hands. The civil right movement is not only the pursuit of rights that people of all races should have equally, but the right to love who you want to love. Sadly, the public doesn't know of certain people who are afraid to love. He stumbles into a cafe as he revels in his mind about everything. That is until he hears the soft and low sound of a cello player. Matthew Williams, following his dream to be a musician, works in his brother's small french cafe. Playing his cello with the rest of the hired band members, his eye catches a stranger walk in and sit down. He was certainly not a regular or one of the old couples that came in. He seems interesting, maybe he should talk to him, buy him a coffee. He has really nice eyes, sky blue eyes. Maybe later.
