Hey, everybody! WarlockWonderLand here with another chapter! Yay! Please remember to like, comment and check out my other stories.
Anyway…. READ ON!
No POV-Alec
Alec is most definitely going to make a dent on the floor from all his pacing. It has been three days since he last saw Magnus. Three days since Magnus gave Alec his phone number. And in those three days, Alec has not once called him, though there were multiple attempts the eldest Lightwood was too nervous to press the call button. He thought about a certain handsomely beautiful man a lot, a little too much if ask the authoress.
"Today's the day," he muttered to himself, "I'm going to do it." His pacing ceased as he walked over to his phone that laid on his bed and unlocked it, and sitting where the phone used to be. The number is already programmed into his phone, which makes it easy to find since he has it on his speed dial as number one. His finger hovered over the number, shaking, as thoughts clouded his mind on the 'what if's' that could happen if he pressed this button.
What if the phone number doesn't work?
What if… this is some joke he played on me?
What is he laughs at me for calling him?
What if… What if… What if…
The questions swirled round and round his mind, a dizzy blur overtakes him, and his breathing became labored, erratic. No, it can't happen now, not when he's seconds away from making the biggest decision of his life. His gaze remained on his phone, trying to focus all his attention on it, he didn't want to blackout. With his free hand, he reached for the drawer that is attached to the nightstand next to his bed and pulled it open. He has to find them before it's too late. Where are they? He blindly rummaged inside –his heart beating rapidly– when his rather sweaty hand gripped the object he needed. He quickly opened the bottle and poured two small white pills into his hand before popping them into his mouth. As they went down his dry throat, rapidly dissolving the second they met his stomach, Alec's breathing finally returns to normal and the dizziness subsided. Thank the angels, he made it in time. He, temporarily forgetting about it during this whole ordeal, remembered the reason this all happened and with his, now, clear, calm mind he let his finger fall on the button. He raised the phone and waited for the other person to answer.
Rringg… Rringg… Rrin-
"Hello," Alec's heart is doing somersaults in his chest, at least what it feels like when Magnus' husky voice enters the Lightwoods ear. The shiver descends his spine is his body's reminding him of the sexual tension Magnus causes him. "Hello," Magnus repeated when he didn't get a reply back. It's okay. Just be cool. Alec thought over and over, like a mantra.
"H-hi," Alec cursed himself for stuttering, Definitely not cool. A chuckle could be heard leaving Magnus' lips as the Lightwood revels in how angelic it sounds.
"I was wondering when you would call, Alexander." Alec could practically hear the smirk making it's way to Magnus' lips. He wished he was there to watch those lustful lips curve upwards, teasing him.
"I…I was b-busy," Alec lied, hoping Magnus wouldn't catch on, "s-sorry." He's too embarrassed to say that everytime he picked up the phone he would black out. To avoid an awkward silence Alec asked how the weather is. He knows it's not his best but at least it is something.
"The weather? It's good. Sunny with a low percent chance of rain." He said back, giggling at the blue-eyed man's poor attempt at a conversation. Oh, he is adorable. I really wish I could see what his expression is. Magnus thought. A deep redness spread across Alec's body, from his head to his toes. He is mortified, not for asking the question but at the fact that Magnus answers it while laughing at him. Magnus probably thinks I'm the lamest person ever. And I am. Alec groaned mentally. "So is this the reason you called me? For the weather?" He teased.
"No!" The Lightwood yelled, scaring the hell out of both of them. "I-I mean, no, that is not w-why I ca-called." He said, in a much more calmer manner. He let out a couple of breaths before continuing, "I-I know we haven't k-known each o-other for very l-long, like maybe a d-day. B-but I-I was w-w-wondering if m-m-m-maybe you would l-l-l-like to go o-o-o-out somet-time." Why does life hate Alec? He can't get through a whole sentence without stuttering. He is glad that Magnus didn't try to interrupt him, actually, he waited patiently for him to finish, all the while thinking about how cute Alec is.
"I would love that, darling." A visible blush filled Alec at the nickname. "Do you have a place in mind?" Did he say….yes? HE SAID YES! The blue-eyed man all but screamed in his head.
"Um, do you like…..food?" Someone kill him now. Why can't he say one thing right? Of course, he likes food, why wouldn't he? A loud laugh erupted from the other line.
"Yes, Alexander, I do like food." He breathed out in between laughs, wheezing at the question that left Alec's mouth. This kid is hilarious!
"Okay. A-are you f-free this S-saturday?" To which Magnus replies with a yes. "Cool!" His excitement could be detected, a little too much. Well, I sound desperate, don't I? Is his bitter remark that he would never dare to voice aloud. Embarrassing.
"Well, need to go. Homework to finish and all. Bye." Magnus quickly stated before clicking off without another word, not evening waiting for Alec's reply. Have I done something to upset him? I hope not. Alec let the phone drop from his ear and laying it next to him. He had the perfect idea for their date but he would need to consult his siblings, mainly Izzy, about it, just to make sure. He knows how much Izzy has wanted him to meet new people, to branch out, especially after that. Snatching his phone up, once again, and pressing Izzy's name in his contacts then the green call button. Raising the phone to his ear, he waited for his sister to answer, which didn't take but three seconds.
"Hey, big bro!" She screamed into his ear, temporarily deafening him. "What do you need?"
"It's about Magnus." He said once the ringing in his ear ceased. That is all he needed to say before she hung up on him, quickly stating that she would be right over. When Izzy got to his dorm, they talked all night about his date. Picking out the right outfit, where it should be, the food and drinks, etc.
It will be the perfect date. At least, he hopes.
