Lo and behold the next chapter of the story! Enjoy! :)


Chapter 2: Musings.

The next day Magnus arrived to class just in time, took his place next to Simon, and got out his mirror to check that his make up was perfect. Simon raised one eyebrow in question and asked: "What happened? On bad days you're usually here at least ten minutes early skimming through past notes…"

"I'll tell you later" Magnus replied in a hurry while taking out his notebook and pens to follow the lecture. The hour passed by with Magnus silently taking notes while always having Alec's eyes at the back of his mind. That was what made him late. Well technically he couldn't fall asleep because of them so he decided to pick a random book and read till he fell asleep. In his defence, they were so hard to forget. They were such an amazing and brilliant blue that you just couldn't forget them! He couldn't even describe the blue color of Alec's eyes as it was so unique and innocent. They just pulled you in.

His musings on Alec's eyes were interrupted by Simon asking him once more why he was late. He just shrugged but Simon wouldn't buy it so he gave in and said "I couldn't fall asleep so started re-reading The Count of Montecristo and read till I fell asleep and slept through the alarm this morning. It's actually quite a miracle that I got here on time." Ok, the book choice wasn't completely random. So sue me!

"Yea but you've done that before and you always managed to be here early."

Magnus just shrugged and luckily Simon let it go. Though he was right. But blue eyes distracted him once again this morning and when he glanced at the clock before leaving he let out a string of curses and ran to school barely making it in time.

"Those eyes are hunting me I swear" he mumbled not low enough for Simon to overhear.

"What?"

Magnus looked shocked for a second but just said "No, nothing noting." and kept thinking to himself. Maybe if he went back to see those beautiful blue eyes he could get his fix and think about them less. Isn't that how drugs work? Or maybe he would be even more distracted. Just can't win can I? He thought bitterly.

"So you up to anything tonight?" Asked Simon.

Magnus deliberated on the answer wondering if he would go to the store again or not and simply said "Not sure. Why?"

"Well Izzy finally has a free night so I thought we could do dinner and you guys could FINALLY meet"

Blue eyes flew out Magnus' mind surprisingly fast at the prospect of meeting the famous Isabelle.

"Seriously?!" He exclaimed.

"Yea seriously. You've both been bugging me about it for weeks."

"I can't believe I finally get to meet the famous Isabelle!" He laughed.

"Yea yea. You know, she said the same thing about you. I swear you're like the same person in different bodies. Now I'm starting to worry you'll get along too well and run of together and elope somewhere."

They both laughed at that and Magnus replied "Don't worry. I've got my eyes set on Mr. Alexander Lightwood. So see you tonight then?"

"Later" and with that they separated and went their own ways.

What Magnus didn't know though, was that Simon was yet again withholding information. He had purposely left out mentioning Izzy's last name while talking about her. Oh god is he gonna be surprised tonight he thought. I'm also gonna be dead, but so worth the expression on his face. He snickered at the thought and kept walking till he reached the bus stop.

Alec finally stepped through the door of his apartment and crashed on the couch closed his eyes for a few minutes. As soon as he opened them and glanced at the clock he swore and started running through his apartment to get ready for work. He didn't have much time but just enough since he lived quite close to the store. He got ready and packed his sketchpad and book into a small bag and left the house. He arrived on time and set to unpacking the last of the boxes left over from the day since there was no one around. He was glad for that. Both because there was no one around and so he could be distracted. All day he had been thinking about glitter, make-up, tan skin, black hair with spikes, and those eyes. Those eyes that never had the same colour. It varied from green to gold to a mix of the two. He had to say, he was intrigued. He wanted to know more about the stranger. And despite all his flamboyancy he seemed to know about books. He didn't seem the kind of person to be interested in books. Then again, the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" is not for naught. He finished unpacking the boxes of food and went to the counter to wait for someone to show up. In the meantime he took out his sketchpad and began drawing whatever came up. To his surprise (though was it really a surprise?) he was drawing the face of a certain stranger. Although he couldn't get the eyes quite right. They were either the wrong color. Or the wrong shape. Or the wrong size. After a few more minutes of struggling he sighed and closed his sketchpad. Maybe if he could see those eyes once again he could put them to paper he thought. Or maybe not. Maybe they weren't made to put to paper. He realised that he was thinking too much so he sighed again and went to his bag to take out his book. He'd never thought this much about a person only after meeting them once. He was really interested. He found himself distracted even from his favourite book to glance up once in a while to see if he would come into the store. Alec found himself wanting to talk to him more and hoped he would indeed show up.

When Magnus came to the restaurant Simon and Isabelle were already there. He walked towards them while he looked at Isabelle. She had long black hair and black eyes to match, she was wearing short a short black dress with 6-inched high heels boots and she looked vaguely familiar but he put that thought to the back of his head as that was not going to help him. Before they could say anything Magnus said "Omg where did you get those boots?" Simon laughed while Isabelle and Magnus got into a conversation about boots. After he'd had enough of boots Simon piped up and introduced them.

"Izzy this is Magnus Bane. Magnus this is Izzy."

Isabelle shook hands with Magnus and said "Isabelle Lightwood. But since we basically know each other through Si here you can call me Izzy." She smiled.

Simon laughed as Magnus' jaw literally dropped open.
