Chapter 4

"It's Not a Date"

One Month later

Alec's POV:

My family and I were eating dinner in silence because my parents were back for the weekend and it was always uncomfortable around them. Then the silence was broken by the ringtone of "For Your Entertainment" blasting from my phone. I blush and curse Magnus in my mind, and I curse myself for letting him chose his ringtone as well as for not putting my phone on silent. Magnus and I have grown back together in this past month that he has strutted back into my life. We are the best of friends Jace even got jealous saying I found a new Parabati, but I told his that was ridiculous and that he is my only Parabati. Anyway back to what I was saying, we have grown really close, we are each other's screen saver and we both have the same lock saver, a picture of the two of us when we were little courtesy of my mother. We got to know each other all over again. I learned that he really loves glitter and shopping, he has a cat named Chairman Meow, he lives by himself at the moment and he really missed New York while he was away, he wants to be a fashion designer because he wants to help people express who they are, and a bunch of other things. In return I told him that I was gay and that for a while I thought I was in love with Jace, I told him about my love for reading and how I want to be an author one day because although I am shy I have a voice inside that better comes out in writing, that I really missed him while he was away, and other stuff as well. I did not however mention my crush on him because I would have died of embarrassment.

Much like now when my phone when off, my parents just looked at me with their eyebrows raised while Izzy and Jace laughed at my misery. I excuse myself and run up stairs to my room, I shut the door and answer the phone silently laughing at what he put his contact name to be for the hundredth time.

The High Warlock of Brooklyn is calling…..

"Hello Magnus, you just interrupted me eating this better be good."

" Hello to you too, honestly Alexander with your kindness and friendliness it's amazing you don't have the whole school lining up to be your friend."

"Magnus either you tell me what's up or I hang up and go back to eating."

" Fine… I was uh… wondering if uh… you would like to go to the movies with me this weekend? The new Marvel movie came out and I know that you like Marvel and I like hot guys so want to go together?"

Magnus was nervous that never happened and I do not know why he would be nervous we hang out all the time. So I answer "Of course Mags, what are friends for?"

"Of course…friends…go to the movies all the time. I will pick you up Saturday at ten be ready. Bye Alexander have a goodnight."

I don't even get to say goodnight before he hangs up. I thought that was weird, but that was the least of my worries because now I was nervous for Saturday. I go downstairs to finish dinner and mom tells me to not answer calls while at diner only if it's an emergency, I roll my eyes and proceed to tell her that with Magnus it is always an emergency. After we all finish eating I ask Izzy to meet me in my room, because she is the only one I feel who will tease me the least if I ask for help picking out what to wear for Saturday. So I go and knock on her door.

"Hey Izzy can I ask you a question?"

"Sure Alec, what's up?"

"Um… Magnus and I are…uh…going to the movies on Saturday, and uh…I wanted help with what to wear."

"OMG you guys are finally going on a date, of course I'll help you brother of mine, oh first dates how exiting!"

"Oh uh it not uh, uh date. We are going as friends, but you know I would like it to be a date. Uh yeah."

"Don't worry Alec, after I am done with you Magnus will not be able to resist you."

Izzy and I spent what felt like years trying to find something in my closet that was not worn or that didn't have holes in it. Once we did Izzy made me try it on, I was in the bathroom and I had to admit that I didn't look so bad. It took so long for me to try to go to sleep due to me being so nervous. All I could think about is Saturday as a I felt sleep close my eyes and take me to dream land where I dreamt about yellow-green cat eyes.
