CHAPTER 5
Alec POV
Dinner was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Mainly because of Magnus. He is so handsome. I could find myself getting lost in his eyes if I let myself.
Now we were back at my house and we were getting some snacks for the movie. Magnus and I were put in charge of heading downstairs to get some extra candy and soda we have in the basement pantry.
"Okay slowpokes get upstairs. It's time to watch some movies!" Camille called down to us. Magnus just rolls his eyes. "Alright! So what should we watch first? Titanic or Twilight?"
Izzy looks at Camille then at me and back to Camille again, "Umm… Camille, I don't know that either of those movies are ones that Alec would really like. How about we watch something else like The Avengers?"
"Ugh, fine." Camille looks right into my eyes, "I'm only agreeing to watch this for you. So you better have fun." I nod my head to her.
Well okay then. That wasn't intense at all. Just kidding! Talk about dramatic. Personally I would have watched either of the first two even though I don't know what either of them are. I just don't want to cause problems for anyone else, and I certainly don't want to be a bother.
We walk over to the living room, which has a large, comfy sectional, perfect for watching movies. Izzy and Camille are on one side, Magnus by them on the other side with me. I sit as close to the edge of the couch as I can get to keep from touching him, even though the couch in giant.
As the movie plays the nights going well. Everyone being nice to me, but I'd prefer it if they didn't try to make small talk with me. About half way through the movie I really just wanted to head up to my bedroom and lock myself away. But I think Izzy would have skinned me if I even dared to step a foot out of the living room.
Slowly Magnus inched his way towards me. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about him. I mean yes he's absolutely gorgeous and he's really nice, but I'm a nobody and he's obviously a very important somebody. What could he even see in me anyways? He's probably just moving around to find a more comfortable position. Subconsciously I'm moving more and more off the couch as he gets even closer to me. Now he's only a foot away from me. I feel like my face is on fire. "Blue eyes I won't bite," he whispered to me.
I jump up, "I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Izzy gives me a suspicious look, meanwhile, Magnus looks a little hurt.
I quickly rush up to my bathroom. Once inside I quickly splash my face with some cold water to try to wrap my head around what's happening.
Oh my God! What am I gonna do! What does he want with me? I mean he keeps giving me these strange looks… He's just so confusing. Ugh! This is EXACTLY why I don't spend time with people. I'm a loner for a reason. And these activities don't exactly scream "loner."
My arm starts to itch under the bandage I put on my cuts earlier in the day. I just itch, and itch, and itch it until I can feel the cuts open up again. I sigh welcoming the pain that I know I deserve.
Izzy POV
I watch Alec rush out of the room and he mumbles some excuse about having to use the bathroom. Looking over I see that Magnus is looking at where Alec just rushed off. He turns to look at me with confusion in his eyes.
"What happened?"
He sighs, "I don't know."
"Were you hitting on him? He's probably not even gay?" Typical Camille question. I mean she is right about the gay part though. If Magnus was trying to hit on Alec I don't think that would end well right now. I do think it would be good for Alec to have someone, but I think he's just not in a spot for a relationship yet.
"Maybe…"
"Magnus!" I screech. "What were you thinking?!"
"I don't know. He's just got me mesmerized. He's gorgeous, with that night black hair and sparkling blue eyes. Black hair and blue eyes is my favorite combination," he winked. "I probably just totally offended your brother. I'm sorry Izzy. But I figured I'd at least try. I mean i figured the most I'd do is maybe creep out a straight guy a little bit."
"Magnus," I sigh, "I get it and I don't blame you. But could you just leave my brother alone right now. This is his first time he has spent time with anyone aside from Jace and I since middle school or before. I just want him to have a fun, pressure free night. I'm okay with you guys hanging out and becoming friends if that happens though. I'd be super excited if that did happen though."
"Hey Mags I get where you're coming from. If I were you and I saw a cute guy I'd probably try and hit on him too." Camille told him in an attempt to comfort him.
Magnus just laughs, "Of course you would Camille. So, what should we do now? Do you want to play a game?"
"Depends on the game," I say.
There's a glint in his eye, "How about a round on never have I ever for old times sake?"
"Fine," Camille sighs with fake annoyance. I know that she is secretly looking forward to playing this especially if Alec decides to come back. She loves gossip, especially new gossip.
I get up to grab a bag of skittles. I count out four piles of ten. Just as we are about ready Alec shuffles back in. "Hey! We're gonna play a round of never have I ever. Do you want to play?"
"Sure," he mumbles.
"Yay!" Camille shouts causing Alec to jump at her sudden outburst.
