I run to our room and throw open the door. Magnus is laying in the bed sound asleep. Should I wake him? I shake my head and decide against it. I take off my shoes and shirt and go to the couch in front of t.v. I wonder if it's big enough to sleep on? It wasn't. I end up just deciding to go to sleep on the bed. I go to the opposite side of Magnus and move the blanket. I slip in carefully and relax.
There's a good space between me and him. I just lay their and stare at the ceiling. I do that for five minutes in till Magnus starts stirring. He keeps moving around in till he's right next to me. Our bed is huge but he decides to be right next to me. Really? He mumbles out words but I don't hear. I stay perfectly still. He keeps moving around and then suddenly puts arm across me. He puts his head on my arm and hugs me.
I don't know what to do. He's basically cuddling with me in his sleep. I just take a look at him. He looks so peaceful. His eyelashes are pretty long. God I feel creepy. But there's not much I can do. If I move he wakes and I definitely can't sleep. So I just lay their watching him. It's nice.
Magnus's POV:
I feel like I'm hugging something but I don't know what. It's warm though. I pull it closer to me and hear it grunt. Why is it grunting? I let it go and sit up to get a look at it. It's Alec. "Um why are you here? I mean in this room." I have to get the subject changed.
"You are aware we share this room right? Why wouldn't I be here?" Full on attitude. I shake my head. "I just thought you'd be at another room. With a friend or something. I didn't think you came. Especially while I was sleeping."
"Yeah no kidding. Exactly what did you think you were cuddling with? A pillow?" He wants to play like that? Ok. "I don't know. Maybe my some part of me knew it was you and wanted to cuddle. It's not like you had a problem with it." That got him blushing. "I didn't want to wake you."
Good answer. Obviously a lie but a good answer. "Hmm. Anyways we should probably get sleep. You know because of the museum Mr. Garroway is taking us to. In like four hours. And I probably only got three hours of sleep. And you got like none." Man we need to rest.
"Actually I have to talk to you about something." Uh oh. Is it good or bad?
"Well you know how we kissed here? And I didn't kiss back and called it a mistake after you kissed Camille?" How could I forget?
"Yeah.."
"First question, why was she here um kissing you?"
"Camille is my ex girlfriend. Also was my first love, but you know how it is freshman year. They always cheat. Especially since she was a cheerleader. Anyways I went for a walk when you left. I was heading back to the room when I bumped into her. I guess I looked glumy so she asked what's wrong. I mean we are still friendly with each other even if she broke my heart. I needed to talk to someone so I told her.
Not outside because I didn't want other people hearing. So I talked to her inside on the bed. I told her what had happened except I left out your name of course. She said whoever it was is an idiot because I'm an amazing guy and how she wants me back and is sorry she cheated. I told her I'm not interested in her anymore. I liked someone else. But Camille doesn't take no for a answer. She grabs my shirt and forces a kiss. I pulled but she has strength like a vampire. And then you came in." I don't look at Alec. My answer sure was a mouthful.
"Um.. ok. Real quick question. Who's that person you told her you like?" Of course I forgot to leave that part out. What do I say? "Um.. he's a great guy. Who I think is straight." Not much of an mystery.
"What if he wasn't straight? What if he likes you too?" He smiles widely. Play along.
"Well then I guess there's not much of a problem now is their?" We're both smiling like a chesher cat. In till I kiss him. And this time he kisses back.
Jace's POV:
"Good job Clary. That dork just needed a little push." I laugh. She looks at me and shakes her head in disappointment. "Why couldn't someone else have done it?" She complains. "Because I can only trust you. Plus your the only person that I know that he doesn't know. He just knows i'm dating a girl named Claire. Not Clary. Don't worry about it. You don't ever have to do it again. Mainly because I got pretty pissed seeing you kiss another guy." She beams. "Aww. We're you jealous? How sweet of you."
"Whatever."
"It's ok Jace. I really like how you helped Alec out. But what if our plan to make Alec realize he only likes Magnus backfired? What if they don't get together?" She worries too much. But it's fine. "Don't worry too much. Let's just say I have a backup, and it's a good one. It can't fail."
Here's the update. Christmas break is next week so I have free time to update. Anyways hope you enjoyed and don't forget to review. The next chapter will be sad but Jace's plan is going to work for sure, right?
