Chapter 3 Magnus and Izzy's lunch date.
Magnus Bane attracted attention everywhere he went. Mainly because of his amazingly sexy looks, vibrant, bubbly personality and colourful, glittery style.
The warlock strutted down 5th Avenue with the energy and poise of a top supermodel, earning himself a mixture of curious and envious looks from fellow pedestrians.
He was dressed in his usual exuberant style, wearing a pair of white skinny jeans spattered with neon glitter paint and two tank tops layered over each other; one turquoise, the other luminous pink. His cat eyes were framed with yellow liner and bright green glitter and a shiny, nude gloss glazed his full lips. Magnus' neon green Converse were flawless with not a speck of dirt or grime and he carried his favourite, limited edition Alexander McQueen tote bag on his tanned shoulder.
The man was often mistaken as being a celebrity with his overflowing self-confidence and sexiness and the fact that he wore expensive designer labels and oversized designer sunglasses.
New York City was hot, humid and buzzing with people on this late July afternoon and Magnus was glad to take a break in a coolly air-conditioned Starbucks. He purchased his favourite (non-alcoholic) beverage (a venti caramel frappuchino) and took a seat in the back of the café.
Checking his phone, the warlock realised that his coffee date was running a little more than fashionably late, seen as the man himself had arrived five minutes after they had arranged to meet.
Ten minutes later, Magnus' attention was drawn to a tall girl who was walking towards his table.
She was dressed in a short baby-doll dress made from light, silky purple material with pearly white and bright blue flowers printed on it. The girls intimidating height was added to by a pair of strappy royal blue gladiator sandals with 7 and half-inch heels.
Her black waist length hair flowed and swished behind her as pairs of eyes followed her as she strutted to the warlock's table. She had swirling black Marks and fading silvery scars twining down her long limbs and Magnus knew that only he and the two faeries sitting in the corner could see the Marks and the dagger strapped to her thigh, only people with the sight could see it thanks to the glamour the statuesque girl had cast on herself.
The girl blew a flirty kiss at a guy with tattoos who was sitting at the table in front of Magnus, causing him to cough and choke on his coffee. She smiled mischievously.
Isabelle Lightwood was stunning.
Magnus stood up with a big grin on his face. "Maggie, sorry I'm late honey," said Izzy, kissing him on both cheeks.
"Miss. Isabelle, don't worry your gorgeous little head about it. May I say you look super fine m'dearest?" said Magnus with a wink as pulled out the chair opposite his own for the girl to sit on.
Izzy took her large white sunglasses off and pushed them up on her head, sweeping her bangs from her face.
"So Maggie, what's the gossip? Throwing any awesome parties soon? I bought this fabulous dress but I have nowhere to wear it", she said with a pout at the end. The two chattered on animatedly, sipping their twin coffees.
Eventually there was a silence while Isabelle checked her flawless reflection in her small pink pocket mirror.
"Iz, I need to talk to you about something…" Magnus said stirring the icy dregs of his frappuchino.
A fine crease appeared between Isabelle's brows as she looked up. "Yeah, what's up? Is everything okay with Alec? You two aren't fighting are you?" she gushed.
"No, no Iz. Let me talk 'kay?" Magnus said as the black haired girl tucked her compact into her bag with a cautious look.
The warlock had his open to speak when Isabelle started chattering again. "This isn't about Alec becoming immortal is it? 'Cause Maggie, I'll get used to it but please, I don't wanna talk about it now, I don't wanna ruin my make up," she stopped her super speed talking to sniff dramatically before narrowing her eyes and starting again.
"Oh my Angel, you're breaking up with him aren't you? Magnus, how could you? Alec has sacrificed so much for you and now you just decide that you're done with him. Well Bane, you've got another thing coming if you even think for a second that you're better than hi-,"
The girl's rant was cut short as Magnus held up one hand, a single blue spark flicking from it.
He thought it best that he shut her up before she said anything she may regret. Isabelle's mouth kept moving but no words came out. A confused, panicked look spread across her face as her lips began slowing to a stop.
"Now Izzy darling, if I give you your voice back will you please shush and let me talk? And dear sweet baby Jesus, like I'd ever break up with your brother," said Magnus calmly with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
She nodded vigorously, her eyes wide and panicked. Magnus clicked his fingers once.
"Back to normal?" he asked.
Izzy let out a small squeak as if to test her voice, followed by "Sorry Maggie".
The warlock couldn't help but chuckle. "S'alright darling. Now, what I was going to say was as you know Alexander and I have been dating for nearly two years and-".
Isabelle squealed excitedly, interrupting Magnus once more. "Ohmyangel! You're gonna ask him to marry you! Aaaaaah!" Isabelle clapped happily.
That and her now high-pitched babble was drawing even more attention to their table.
Magnus' mouth dropped open in a wide, shocked smile. "Hush up," he laughed.
"Sorry, I'm just so excited! There's going to be a wedding Maggie, you're getting married! You're getting married to my brother, oh my Angel!" Izzy kept squealing and babbling and the warlock couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay Iz, shush or I'll discard your positively melodic voice again," he chuckled. At this she instantly shut up, a smirk tickling her mouth.
"Yes Iz, I'm going to ask Alec to marry me. I've already bought the ring and I just had to tell someone! Please don't tell anyone Iz," Magnus said, smiling uncontrollably. "Now I don't know how or when I'm going to do it but I think after the whole immortality thing is over would be best. There's been so much drama lately with that and …well your parents splitting up. I don't want anything to get in the way. It has to be perfect!"
Isabelle demanded that he show her the ring and so the warlock pulled out his cell phone on which he had snapped a picture of the ring before he had left for the coffee date. "Ohmygawsh it's perfect!" squealed Izzy.
Magnus laughed, "Belle, if you keep squealing like that every dog and werewolf in a thirty mile radius will be running for cover."
They discussed so many possible ways that Magnus could propose, ranging from a romantic, candle-lit dinner which Izzy thought was far too cliché, to a message written in fireworks on a romantic night time picnic.
Two more frappuchinio's and a triple chocolate muffin later, Magnus and Izzy had thought up hundreds of ideas but none were perfect.
"Izzy darling, thank you so much for this. You're the best future sister in law ever!" said Magnus as they strolled out with their arms linked.
Outside the evening sun was shining and the noises of the city filled their ears.
"Awh Magnus, thank you! You have no idea how happy I am for you," said Isabelle with a bright smile. They chatted on until they got to Taki's where Isabelle was meeting Simon.
They hugged, said goodbye and Magnus hailed a cab back to the flat where Alec, Chairman Meow and the quarter final of So You Think You Can Dance was waiting for him.
As he sat in the silence of the cab, Magnus couldn't help but realise how different his life had become lately. He was used to change after his 800 years of living but in the last two years he had fallen in love with a Shadowhunter and now he was going to propose. "Wow," he thought to himself. He had never felt this happy, this anxious and this in love.
So that was kinda short...sorry! What did you think?
I'm pretty happy with it but it lacked Alec :P don't worry, there'll be more of him later ;) :P
