Okay, maybe some of you remember me maybe not. But I'm back, at least I hope so. I've been on a loooong hiatus and now I'm back with a complete new story.
Disclaimer: I do not own TMI or any of the characters. They all belong to the amazing author Cassandra Clare. The only thing I do own is the idea and plot of this specific story and Lilac.
1. Chapter
"Alec! Get you ugly ass out of bed!" Jace threw a pillow at Alec. Alec moaned and turned over.
"Leave me alone", he muffled, putting his pillow over his head. The first day of college was suppose to be fun but it was the worst. Jace had forced Alec to a costume party, and they both drank too much. Jace had left Alec, to hook up with some random red haired girl. Alec had been too drunk to get home by his own, and apparently some random guy had been looking at him all night and had walked him home. The boy had kissed him and forced his tongue down his throat and Alec, being as drunk as he was, felt sick and puked all over the boy. And probably also down his mouth. It was the most mortifying thing he had ever done.
"Oh come on", Jace said and jumped on Alec's bed. "I bet that Josh already forgot." Josh, right, that was his name.
"Would you forget if someone puked down your mouth?" Alec turned and looked up at Jace. "Because I as hell wouldn't."
"Was it really that bad?"
"Yes Jace!" Alec cried and got up on his elbows. "He kissed me and I puked on him. And he was really cute and it all sucks!"
"Damn", Jace chuckled and touched Alec's sweaty hair. "Well, we just have to find some other cute guy and make sure you don't puke on him." Jace got up and walked to his wardrobe, taking out some clothes. Alec glanced towards him, watching him closely as he took his pants off. Alec and Jace had been friends since they were 10. Jace had moved in next door and him and his parents had come over with a basket of sweets. Alec's parents invited them over to dinner. Things just went from there. Jace became Alec's best and only friend. They had been through hell together. When Jace's parents died in a car crash when he was 17, he lived at Alec's house for a year.
When they both turned 18 they went on a road trip together, and that's when Alec came out. Jace had been fine with it and understanding. Alec was glad he was able to tell Jace on the road trip. They were alone and it was just those two. When they got home, he came out to his parents and the rest of his family. His parents weren't very understanding, his dad had freaked out and left. His mom were at least trying to understand and Isabelle and Max, his siblings, had been happy for him.
His father found another woman and left them for good. At first Alec had blamed himself but his mom told him that she knew that dad had been having an affair and it would have happened at some point. Everything was fine after that, and now he's in college with his best friend. It could not be more perfect. Except, they were both broke and needed money.
"Are we going job hunting today?" Alec mumbled and sat up up straight. He took a hand through his hair and yawned.
"Hell yeah", Jace said and pulled a red shirt over his head. "I'm tired of having no money."
"Let's go to Idris bean", Alec rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked over at Jace. "I need some coffee."

"Lilac!" Magnus yelled and grabbed the toys from the floor, throwing them in a basket. "How many times have I told you not to leave your toys on the floor?"
"I'm sorry, daddy", Lilac walked with slow steps towards her father. "I forgot." Magnus sighed and looked down at his little girl. Her black hair was in a beautiful fishtail and her bright green eyes shone as a perfectly shaped ruby. She was wearing a cute red dress and black boots. She fumbled with the edge of her dress, something she always did when she was nervous or when she knew she had done something wrong.
"Please, try to remember", he said and bent down and grabbed her chin gently and grazed her jaw-line with his thumb. "I almost fell over your teddy bear." He shook the blue teddy bear in front of her. She giggled and took the teddy bear.
"Toto loves to play with you, daddy", she said and touched Magnus's cheek with her small fingers. "He loves you, just like I do." Magnus smiled and grabbed her hand, kissing her knuckles.
"You're way to good at that", he said and touched her nose playfully. "Now, go get your bag. You're going to be late for school." She smiled and ran down the hallway into her room.
Magnus grabbed his jacket and pulled it over his arms. He grabbed his bag and the flyers he was planning to place all over the city. He really needed a babysitter with his new promotion on the way. He would be way to busy and he would not be able to pick Lilac up from school. Lilac came running back with her blue jacket on and her old orange backpack on her back.
"Lets go, lets go, lets gooo!" She yelled and jumped up and down. She was always excited to go to school. Oh, poor girl, she should just know when she got older she wouldn't be jumping up and down but jumping back down in bed and stay there all day.

Lilac was sitting by a table and played with one of her dolls, her legs swinging side to side.
"A pumpkin spice latte to go, please", Magnus ordered and looked down at all the delicious cakes. "Oh, and a blueberry muffin." He looked over his shoulder, making sure Lilac was still sitting by the table.
"Anything else?" The cashier asked, popping a gum. Magnus blinked at the blue gum popping in front of him.
"No erm," he looked down at his flyers. "Do you mind if I put a flyer on your board? I'm looking for a babysi-"
"Yeah, yeah", she waved her hand. "Next!" Magnus jumped a little and raised an eyebrow. Someone was having a bad morning. He turned and walked over to the board and tried to find a thumbtack.
"My neck is a mess", someone moaned behind him. Magnus couldn't help but turn around and saw a guy with golden hair walk in, followed by a black haired guy. The black haired guy looked like a mess and as he walked pass Lilac, he glanced over his shoulder and smiled at her. She waved to him and he waved back. Magnus sighed and turned back to the board, he was going to talk to Lilac about waving at strangers. He found a pink thumbtack and placed his flyer in the middle of the board.
"Hey you", someone yelled. "Sparkly guy." Magnus turned around and saw the cashier holding his coffee and muffin. Magnus took it gladly and walked towards her daughter. He placed the muffin in front of her and her green eyes went wide. She took the muffin in her small hands and took a bite.
"Best breakfast ever!" She cried and took another bite. Magnus smiled and took a sip of his latte. He glanced over his shoulder and saw the two boys, who had walked pass Lila, sitting at a table by the end of the café.
"Honey", Magnus said and glanced back down at Lilac. "What did I tell you about strangers?"
"Strangers are people with bad manners and you have to stay away from them", she smiled proudly.
"Yes, that's right", Magnus said and smiled. "And why did you wave at that guy who smiled at you?"
"He was sweet", she said and shrugged. Suddenly she blushed and looked down at the table. "And he was cute. Don't you think so daddy?" Magnus raised an eyebrow and glanced back again. The boy had blue sleepy eyes and his hair was a terrible mess. His clothes were too big and black. Maybe he was cute, but Magnus didn't know. He hadn't thought of anyone being cute in a long time.
"Boys have to wait until you get older, sweety", he took another sip and looked down at his clock. "Fuck! We have to go."
"Daddy! You can't say bad words", she crossed her arms and pouted her lips. "You owe the swear jaw 5 dollars."
"Yes, sorry honey", he took her hand and she grabbed her muffin and they ran out the door.

Alec looked down at his black coffee, turning the spoon around, mixing the milk around.
"Stop sulking", Jace said and took a huge sip of his cappuccino. "Everything is going to be fine."
"This is not about Josh", Alec said and rubbed his temple. "I don't know what's wrong."
"Maybe you need to get laid", Jace said and shrugged. "How long has it been? 6 months?"
"It's creepy how you know the last time I had sex", Alec said and leaned back on his chair. "I don't need to get laid. I'm fine."
"I've known people who was a mess and after they got a good release", Jace smirked. "Everything was perfect."
"Is that what you got?" Alec asked and raised an eyebrow. "Because I'm pretty sure I remember a whimpering Jace before the party, and now you're just so-" Alec looked Jace up and down. "-composed."
"Oh yeah", Jace nodded with a smirk on his face. "Clary Fray. What a hottie. I got her number. I think I'm going to call her."
"I thought you said you never called your one night stands?"
"Exactly, my one night stands", Jace pointed at Alec. "This is not one of those."
"Sure." Alec looked down at his coffee and took a sip. He shivered and pushed the coffee away. It tasted like puke, or maybe it was just Alec. He sighed and looked around the café. It was mostly young people, and some of the people were from school. He looked over his shoulder, the little girl was gone. She was really cute and Alec loved children. He used to babysit Max when he was younger, and he used to take care of the Blackthorns children. And that was a group of 6 children, sort of, he couldn't remember. He stood up and walked towards the board, looking it over. There were different color flyers. People were desperate. Jace came to his side and scanned the board.
"Ah! Perfect", he said and pointed at a flyer. It was a pink paper and it smelled like roses. It was a company searching for a model.
"Modeling? Seriously?"
"Why not?" Jace said and smirked taking the flyer. "I'm pretty sure I can pull it off." He made a pose and the famous duck face. Alec laughed and shook his head. He glanced back at the board and saw a simple white paper. There was a small amount of purple glitter on it and some yellow paint smeared at the corner. The letters were cursive and purple: Looking for a Babysitter. Alec raised an eyebrow and looked down at the flyer. It was a single parent, called Magnus Bane, who was searching for a babysitter. The babysitter didn't need too much experience but needed a lot of free time. It was a 7 year-old girl called Lilac. What a pretty name. Alec took his phone up from his pocket and started to dial the number down.
"Babysitting? Seriously Alec", Jace raised an eyebrow, and he was now holding 5 flyers in his hands. "Who would want to babysit a baby? They shit themselves and puke all over you."
"This one is 7."
"And?" Jace shrugged. "Didn't you hear me?"
"At least I'm picking out the rational jobs", Alec glanced down. "Not naked modeling or any sort of modeling."
"I'm picking jobs there is going to help my reputation", Jace shrugged and went back to his table. Alec looked down at his phone and called the number. He took the phone up to his ear and walked towards Jace.
"Hello?"
"Yeah, hi", Alec said and sat down on his chair. "You're talking to Alec Lightwood. I saw one of your flyers on looking for a babysitter. I would love to apply for this job." Jace snorted and Alec kicked him under the table making him choke on his coffee.
"Oh! That's great! How about we meet later today? Get some coffee and you can meet Lilac?"
"Yeah, cool", Alec scratched his scalp. "When and where? You decide."
"How about 4pm at Idris bean?"
"That's perfect sir", Alec smiled. "Yeah. Okay. I'll see you then." He closed his phone and looked over at Jace. "That's how you do it." Alec smiled and took a sip of his coffee. He was sure this job was going to be his. The man sounded nice and had an unbelievable sexy voice. This was going to be easy.
Or so he thought.
