I still own nothing, these characters belong to Cassandra Clare.


Part 2

Later, after Alec had paid for and collected the drinks, he walked to the table in a daze. Jace was beaming at having procured a table while a group of teenage boys stood some distance away, glaring, then left the shop muttering amongst themselves.

"What took so long?" Jace asked, as Alec tossed him his cheesecake brownie, which Jace tore into it as if he hadn't eaten in weeks. "I got us a great table."

Isabelle accepted her double latte, popped off the lid and took a sip. Her eyes fluttered.

"Damn."

"Izzy? What's wrong?" Alec demanded.

"Nothing, but this isn't a double latte it's a triple latte. Extra espresso." A smile curved across Isabelle's face. "What a lovely mistake to make."

Alec smiled. He took the lid off his own cup of coffee, and Isabelle sighed.

"Oh Alec, that's not yours. You must have grabbed someone else's by mistake."

"I did?" Alec said, confused. "Is this a cappuccino?"

"Yes. How do you know that?" Isabelle said, raising an eyebrow, "You always get a plain black coffee."

Alec took a sip. It tasted delicious. "Not today," he said simply. Jace looked up from licking crumbs off the wax paper and Isabelle simply stared.

"Are you feeling okay?" Jace asked. "The last time you voluntarily did something different then your usual routine was last Christmas, when you wore the navy blue sweater instead of your gray sweater, for the first Christmas party in SEVENyears. Then we found out you had a fever."

"Who was that sexy, sexy barista? And what did he do to your brain?" Isabelle mused, playfully ruffling Alec's hair.

"What? Izzy, I don't know who you're talking about." Alec muttered, pulling away. "Stop messing up my hair."

"Really. You have no idea who I'm referring to."

"Really." Alec insisted, swallowing hard.

"Because you've got a note written on the side of your cup." Jace smirked.

Alec blanched and quickly turned his cup around.

The writing said in spiky purple marker: Black hair and blue eyes are my favorite combination. It was accompanied by a series of numbers and the words: Call me!
