By The Angel they let us go home from school early today so I can finally post. Sorry for not posting Monday again but I'm giving you the chapter now. Actually this still isn't the whole chapter so there will have to be one more part but I have a book report to do tomorrow and this is all I have for now and I don't like keeping you waiting so I'm giving it to you like this. Hope you don't mind and will like it nonetheless.
As Magnus's eyes fell on me he looked confused.
I gave him a shy apologetic smile. "Hi?"
"Alec…What are you doing here? It's one am." He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he asked.
I shifted uncomfortably under his gaze and scratched the back of my neck, like I did every time I was in a situation like this.
"Amm…I'm sorry for waking you up but I wouldn't do that if I had any other choice."He raised an eyebrow at me and I looked down at the floor, feeling embarrassed for what I'm about to say.
"There is a spider in my room." My cheeks became redder and redder as I talked.
"A spider?" I heard him ask, sounding even more confused and I shifted uncomfortably one more time before continuing.
"Yes…And I'm afraid of spiders so I can't go to sleep even though I need to get up early tomorrow so I need someone to kill it so will you please so that." I said all quickly in one breath half hoping he won't understand my rushed words so he doesn't think less of me like almost everyone else who knows does. But on the other hand I really need him to go kill that spider.
After a few seconds, and my rapid heartbeats he finally spoke. "Ok. I'll go kill the spider for you."
I looked up at him in disbelief at how easy he agreed to it considering that I woke him up at one am for this. "Really? You don't mind?"
He smiled at me and pulled me to him into an embrace. Holding me tightly to his bare chest, my head ending up on his shoulder.
"Well since you already woke me up I don't have a choice." I tensed at his words feeling guilty but he just chuckled and passed his hand up and down my back calmingly. "Relax I'm just joking. Since its you no I don't mind getting up and going to kill a spider. Darling you look terrified."
"It's not my fault. They are just…" I couldn't even finish that sentence but ended up shaking again as the words flashed through my mind again. Disgusting. Scary. Creepy. Deadly.
"Hey darling, please stop shaking." Magnus whispered into my ear before letting me go, holding just my hand instead as he stepped to my apartment. Still barefoot. "I'm going to get rid of it. No need to be afraid."
I smiled a little at how easily he was taking this. No teasing just understanding. No one ever did that before. Even Jace makes fun once in a while. And he was laughing so hard when he first found out. But still here is Magnus, not making fun even a little bit.
What kind of a fear does he have? I thought while looking at his bare back as he pulled me into my apartment and towards the bedroom.
As we got to the closed bedroom door I stopped and let go of his hand. There is no way I'm getting back inside while it's still there.
He looked at me confused but then seemed to understand as he just opened the door and entered the room, closing the door behind himself without another word.
My heart was beating incredibly loudly as I waited, one minute, two, three…
"Its fine darling. No more spiders. You can come in now." I heard him call out for me and I hesitated for a heartbeat before opening the door, and peaking inside.
My eyes searching for any sign of it but then me letting out a relived sigh when there wasn't any.
My gaze then landed on Magnus, his back turned to me as he looked around my room.
My cheeks went red at the thought that he ended up in my room but nonetheless I felt too relived right now to think about it so I just walked to him and hugged him from behind, kissing the back of his neck.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"Why doesn't it surprise me that your bedroom is so plain and boring?" Was his only response.
I laughed; feeling a little more relaxed at this. "It's pointless. All it needs is a bed and a closet. Anything else is just pointless."
He let out a sight turning around and putting his arms around me now. "Of course you'd think so darling."
I gave him a small smile before looking down at the floor, feeling embarrassed again. "I'm sorry. You must think I'm stupid for this."
"Of course not." He tilted my chin up so I need to look at him again. "Everyone's afraid of something. It's just human nature."
I kissed him at that. And as he kissed me back I deepened it holding him closer.
"What was that for?" He asked with a big smile as I pulled away.
"A thank you." I answered simply, but with a slight blush.
"Do you have any more spiders because for a thank you like that I'll kill them all no problem."
I laughed and shook my head.
"Well at least you can go to sleep now right?" He asked, loosening his hold on me a little but not completely.
"Not quite. It will take a few hours."
"Why?" He asked.
"It's hard for me to go to sleep after a spider was in my room. No matter if it's gone now or not. But it's fine. I'll just drink a lot of coffee tomorrow and hopefully not fall asleep on the job." I gave him a small and shy smile. "I'm used to it."
He looked at me for a second before taking my hand in his and pulling me with him out of my apartment.
"Where are we going?" I asked feeling confused as he closed my door and we entered his apartment. Still dragging me with him and not letting go of my hand.
"I'm taking you to sleep with me in my bed of course." At my surprised silence he added. "You said you need to sleep so why let you struggle when you're always welcomed in my bed."
The blush I got at that was inevitable.
Did you like it? Tell me what you think.
Like I said one more part of this chapter to go before I can continue with the rest of the story. But it will be fun trust me.
I rewrote this chapter three times before getting it right but I hope you liked it like this. Please review and tell me what you thing and I'll try and post Monday if there is any way that's possible that it.
I never thought it would be this hard to keep posting Monday after school starts. But I'm not giving up just yet.
