Yeey its Monday. So here is the next chapter. Hope you like it.
"So how did you end up going to this exhibition? Because you don't look so happy about it." Magnus asked as we walked through the streets of New York.
He walking a little too close to me but not letting me move away. Every time I tried he would just follow and get even closer than before. So after a few tries I sighed in defeat and let it be.
"Oh, my brother is dating one of artists and kind of made all of us go." I explained feeling awkward. Not really used to talking to people. Especially to the ones who flirt with me every time I see them.
I was well out of my comfort zone here. Not knowing what to say.
"What about you?" I asked for some reason wanting to get the conversation going. "You don't seem like someone who would want to go."
Magnus smiled at me.
"I'm just curious to see how it is." He answered simply with a shrug. "And I thought that since my hot neighbor is going why not join him. Can't be that bad if I'm with the blue eyes beauty." He winked at me making me blush instantly.
I ducked my head feeling embarrassed by it but I heard him chuckle signaling that he saw it anyway.
By The Angel why does he keep flirting with me?! I thought as we continued walking. There is no way he likes me. He is way too hot to like plain old me. Wait what did I just think?! Hot?! I need to bend those thoughts out of m head.
Those kind of thoughts can only complicate my life even more.
I need to stop.
We walked in silence for a minute more before we got to the right address.
"Alec!" Jace called me the second we stepped inside.
I looked up at him feeling uneasy when I saw his grin.
"Come here!" He called once again making a few people-that were looking around at the artwork-look at him.
I sighed at this not wanting attention on me.
I looked at Magnus who was standing next to me, eyeing Jace with a particular expression I couldn't pinpoint.
"I'm just going to be a minute." I said to him quickly before making my way to Jace before he makes a scene. Which was probably already too late but at least I can stop him from making an even bigger one.
"I was starting to think you wouldn't come." He said as I found myself in front of him. "But whose the…" He trailed off nodding somewhere behind me.
I turned around slightly only to see Magnus who was looking at one of the paintings. As if he knew I was looking at him he looked up and met my eyes. Giving me a smile as he did.
I blushed lightly and turned back to Jace.
"That's my neighbor." I answered simply. He raised an eyebrow at questioningly. "He asked me if he could come with me." I shrugged in return.
Not wanting to say that Magnus didn't ask if he can go but just that he's coming with me.
"Well he's…" Jace trailed off not knowing what to say as he continued to look at Magnus over my shoulder.
"I told you." I rolled my eyes at him. "And stop staring its weird."
Jae looked at me weirdly but before he could say anything Izzy appeared next to us.
"So who's the hottie?" She asked looking at Magnus also.
I groaned.
"Alec's neighbor." Jace answered before I could. "But don't get your hopes up Izzy. With all that make up he can't be straight."
"Still…" She smiled and walked right passed me towards Magnus.
I groaned again. "Izzy." I hissed in warning and walked after her. Leaving Jace alone.
"Hi I'm Izzy. Alec's sister." She introduced herself with a smile.
Magnus looked at her with a smile. "Pleasure." He said and kissed her hand making her look at him with a expression I knew brought all the boys to their knees in front of her in seconds.
Magnus however looked behind her at me.
"Hi darling. You done? It's lonely looking around all by myself." He said and with that took my hand in his and pulled me to one of the paintings leaving Izzy staring at us with wide eyes.
So he does flirt with everyone. I thought as I looked at the piece in front of me but not really seeing it. But not as mush as he does with me. I thought not sure if it's a good or a bad thing. My mid saying bad secretively glad.
I really need to stop thinking about this. I thought choking down a sigh.
"So how old are you anyway?" I asked the first thing that popped into my mind. Not liking the uncomfortable silence.
He looked at me with a grin. "Right to the point ha?" He teased.
"I-" I started awkwardly but he cut me off.
"Twenty-one." He answered turning fully towards me and leaning onto the wall behind him slightly. "You?"
"Nineteen." I answered.
After that he looked at me for a minute-making me shift uncomfortably-before speaking again.
"Not sleeping much?" He asked me making me look at him questioningly in return. He chuckled. "You have pretty big bags under your eyes."
"Well that's because I have a neighbor that throws parties every night enabling me to sleep." I said but not accusingly. Now that I actually talked to him I can't stay mad at him because of it anymore for some reason.
"O. Sorry about that." Magnus said looking honest before he shifted a little closer. "But you can always come to one of my parties. You darling are always welcomed into my apartment."
The way he said it made me fight down a blush. And lose. Resulting in my cheeks turning lightly pink color. But enough visible for him to notice and smirk. Making my blush worsen.
The rest of the night we ended up talking at that same spot ignoring the fact that the people around up were here to look at the artwork. Talking about whatever would pop into our minds. Big or small. And he still continued constantly flirting and making me blush. But as we continued talking I found myself get more and more relaxed. Even laughing a few times.
The time passed incredibly fast and soon it was ten pm and the exhibition was closing. Magnus and I walking back side by side, so close that out elbows were touching every now and again but I felt too relaxed in his company to even think that I should move away.
…
"Want to come in?" I blurted out before I could stop myself when we got back to our building.
Magnus's smile turned into a full out grin. "I would love to."
As unlocked my door and walked in, Magnus right behind me, I started to feel uncomfortable again.
Why By The Angel why did I ask him to come in?
"Feel like at home I guess." I said rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. "Want something to drink?" I asked as I went to the kitchen.
"Anything is fine." He called after me looking around my poorly decorated but effectual living room.
I came back a minute later with two glasses of water. Not really having a lot of different drinks in the fridge.
And you can't miss with water. I thought as put them down on the coffee table. Everyone drinks water.
Magnus has suddenly stop looking around and focused on only one thing. His back was turned to me while he was looking at something by the TV. I moved a little to see what he's looking at only to groan when I saw that it was my gun.
I really need to stop leaving that everywhere. I thought as I walked closer
He raised his eyebrow at me eyeing the gun. "Are you a cop or something?"
"An FBI agent actually." I corrected him offhandedly, taking the gun and putting it on the shelf. "Cops are beneath me."
"Really now." He said with a smirk.
I looked at him questioningly but then blushed when I figured out his line of thoughts. "No. That's not-"
"So cute." He said with a grin making me blush even more. "You're…" He whispered coming closer to me, making me step back and my back hit the wall. "Just…" My heart was beating incredibly fast and loud as he rested his hand on the wall next to my head, leaning closer. I could feel his warm breath on my lips. "Adorable."And with that last word he leaned closer even more and pressed his lips softly to mine.
Ok maybe this actually was a date. I thought before my mind went blank.
Did you like it? Tell me what you think.
Yes I'm stopping it here. Haven't tortured you guys in this story yet. And everyone knows that I just can't have that. So you know what to do. Review and wait patiently for next Monday.
