A little Obsessed

"Alec what is your problem?" Isabelle demanded in the middle of lunch. Everyone at our table stopped their conversations to look at us with mildly interested expressions. I hid further into the hood of my black sweatshirt to escape their curious eyes. "You've been sulking all week, and its starting to get on my nerves." She flipped her long black hair over her shoulder to emphasize her point.

My problem? My problem! It's not really a problem as much as a sad possibly weird need to see Magnus Bane.

"Nothing." I muttered to her and lowered my head so I couldn't see the others.

Jace patted me on the back and said, "His necking partner never called him back, not that I've ever experience such a thing, but I hear it can suck and really kills a guy's ego." Simon rolled his eyes and muttered something to Clary that made her laugh. I just groaned annoyed to be put in the spotlight. "So which bitch is it bro, I'll help you out."

"It's not a girl problem." I replied. It's a guy problem. A hot sexy guy with a love of sparkles and eyeliner. I screamed in my head as slumped in my seat.

I had been all ready to talk to Magnus on Monday; my courage built, clothes without holes or wrinkles, head held high until I walked into English. I came crashing down as I sat in my seat. He. Wasn't. There. He didn't even come in late. So I prepared for Tuesday and the same thing happened.

It's now Friday and he still hasn't shown up. I feel like an idiot thinking he was waiting for me to say something about the party. To get my hopes up like a naïve child. I was already warned to be careful with him by some stranger, yet some part of me is in denial yelling "He's just sick." and "Maybe he got hurt at the part after you left." But that just makes me worry about him while I drown in my own pathetic sorrows.

"Maybe he's pissed Magnus hasn't been here." Clary said randomly and my head snapped up. Why the hell does she think that? Am I that obvious? I was trying not to be.

"Huh?" Izzy said not following. From the faces the rest of them were making they were just as confused. Maybe I'm safe.

"Well he hasn't been here all week to help with the English project. He's your partner, right?" Clary replied and my whole body relaxed until it felt like jello.

Thank God. I must have a guardian Angel.

"Oh right." Jace said turning back to me. "I'd be pissed too, having to write the whole first quarter summary on my own."

"Yeah. It does suck." Clary stated glaring at Jace.

He chuckled nervously as he wrapped an arm around her and started giving her compliment after compliment. She just rolled her eyes, but a blush covered her cheeks.

With that my sullen mood was forgotten and I was left to my thoughts of Magnus. I wasn't really upset about doing the project on my own, I've gotten use to it since I was always partners with Jace -lazy SOB. I just wish I could have talked to Magnus about the kiss at the party sooner so it wouldn't seem so weird, now it just seems like I'm hung up on it. Then again I really am. Why'd he kiss me? Just something to do? Was it actually the alcohol talking? Am I really that easy?

Once at home I did what I had been forcing myself not to do: stalk Magnus' Facebook account. I typed his name into the search bar and... There were no results. No one had that name. He didn't exist on Facebook, so I tried MySpace and again nothing. No Magnus Bane on any social networks. I stared at my computer like I was missing the obvious, but there was nothing to miss. Magnus Bane just didn't exist on the Internet, I didn't think that was possible.

I heaved a long annoyed sigh and closed my laptop and sat it aside on my bed. I didn't know what else to do. I was at a complete loss. I couldn't even call him, he never gave me his number, but it seems a lot of people have it. I'm jealous.

"Alec!" Called Jace from downstairs. I ignored him, but five minutes later came, "Alec get your lazy white ass out of your bed and get downstairs! You have a visitor!"

I groaned and got to my feet and shuffled down the stairs that are directly across from my bedroom door. "Next time say that you moron!" I yelled back as I rounded the corner to the foyer.

Jace was standing by the front door closing it behind someone who had their back to me, but that didn't matter. I would know who it was even in a crowd and with a sack over his head.

"Try not being so antisocial then, and we wouldn't have these issues." Jace retorted facing me with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.

My guest turned then and gave a small wave of hello. His nails gleaming orange in the light, and his outfit was a statement like always. Too tight white pants, mesh orange shirt under a heavily buckled and strap leather jacket, and custom converse high-tops colored in black, a shiny blue and specks of orange. His makeup was thick but smeared around his eyes that looked exhausted. Eyeliner black as oil and silver shimmer under his perfectly sculpted brows. Gorgeous as always.

My mind went fuzzy like a screen of snow on cable TV. Then like a punch in the gut I remembered my annoyed feelings for him. I tried to glare at him but I couldn't I was too happy to see him after going a week without him. I am so lame, we're not even dating I shouldn't be this attached to him.

"Alexander." Magnus smiled and took off his jacket and hung it on the section of hooks along the wall.

Jace punched me in the arm and whispered, "Surprised me too." Then he walked out of the foyer and into another room.

"How did you know where I live?" Were the first words out of my mouth. I couldn't greet him, his appearance at my front door was too shocking.

He smirked and stepped towards me. "My spies do amazing work, no?" He chuckled. He stood right in front of me, several inches between our heights making me look up to meet his eyes.

"Why are you here?" I asked shoving my hands into my pockets and clenching them into fists. I'm so nervous, confused, annoyed and happy that I feel kind of dizzy.

Magnus shrugged. "Thought I would stop by and see how the project is going. I've been so busy I completely forgot until my calendar reminded me this afternoon." He replied casually.

My brows furrowed as I continued to stare at him. Was he being serious? I can't even tell.

"It went fine. If that's all you wanted to know you can go." I said angrily. All the feelings inside me were boiling turning to darker emotions that I knew weren't completely justifiable.

I turned to leave the foyer but he grabbed my arm and pulled me to a stop. I shrugged out of his grip and was finally able to glare at him, his eyes widened in surprise. About time I was able to take him off guard.

"I'm sorry did I do something wrong? I came here to apologize for pushing the project on you, you know." He said leaning on his left leg and his right thumb tucked into his front pocket.

"Yeah, and I told you it's fine. I'm use to it." I replied with a raise voice. I never thought I would ever get this mad at Magnus when I barely know him, but I was and I was furious. He kissed me. Twice. Both after he had taken a drink. And he hasn't said a word about either, he just left me hanging confused and lost.

Magnus arched a brow and leaned down so we were at eye level. His green eyes were freckled with gold flecks that when caught the light sparkled like gems. Being this close I could smell the scent of him: pen ink and cologne and something else that I couldn't identify. It was a fresh and clean smell.

"Then why so mad?" He inquired narrowing his eyes.

"I'm not." I said sharply.

"You're not a good liar Alexander." He stated without any expression change, but his voice dove deeper. If I wasn't upset I'm sure my legs would have weakened or buckled from the beautiful sound.

"If you're done here, please go." I said taking a step away from him, but he just moved closer.

"But I'm not done. I have a partner who's mad at me and I don't know why." He said almost teasingly but his expression was so serious. How could he be so good at not showing how he really felt? He was right I couldn't lie well, but he could and that's almost scary. A good-looking liar, all hearts beware!

I hardened my glare as I said, "I'm sure you do know."

Magnus was silent for a moment, in thought and unmoving. I wish he would take a step back so I could breathe without smelling his relaxing scent, it was making me lose my anger and I wanted to stay mad until I got my answers.

"Oh," He said leaning away from me. The corner of his mouth twitched like he was trying not to smile, and was losing. He began laughing and covered his mouth with his hands like that would stop it.

My face grew hot and I stormed out of the room and towards the stairs. This was my house after all I didn't have to stand around and be laughed at.

"Alec wait." Magnus said catching the sleeve of my hoodie and pulled stopping me at the bottom of the stairs. I looked over my shoulder with narrowed eyes to see Magnus' smile gone and eyes serious.

Some voice inside my head told me to relax and wait to listen to what he had to say but my mouth had others plans. "I waited for five days. I'm pretty tired of waiting."

He released my sleeve and straightened his own shirt, "Is there a place we can talk in private? I think we're being spied on, from over there." He said pointing to the archway across from the stairs that leads to the family room.

I leaned to the side to get a better looked at what Magnus was pointing at and saw a crop of black hair dodge around the corner. "Max! Quit snooping!"

"Jace told me to!" My youngest brother defended as his feet quickly padded down into the room to hide.

"You know better than to listen to Jace! He's a moron." I called after him.

"Hey I am not a moron!" Jace fought from the kitchen.

"Bodoh pirang, makhluk bodoh dan tidak berguna." Magnus muttered behind me.

"What is that?" I looked at him still annoyed but insanely curious.

"Indonesian." Magnus replied simply. "So can we talk?"

"Yeah in my room." I sighed heavily then proceeded up the stairs with Magnus right behind me.

"Bagus pantat." He whistled.

I looked down over my shoulder, "Huh?"

"Nice house." He smirked.

Thanks to those of you who have read and commented. Reading all the feedback makes me happy. Also I just wanted to let you guys know this is all done on my iPod so if there are a bunch of mistakes that's why, it has a mind of its own, but I'm doing my best to go back and fix them. So continue reading and commenting and yes translate then foreign languages (used google translate for them), Magnus is very sarcastic in them and it'll get better later on *wink wink*
