Part 3

Twenty minutes later, Isabelle and Jace were still arguing over whether or not they were going to wear matching outfits and whether Isabelle could tell Jace what to wear. Alec absentmindedly traced a finger on the purple spiky words written on the side of his cup, while listening to his siblings bicker.

For a reason he simply could not explain and possibly for the first time in his life, Alec wanted to write poetry. Right now, nothing less appealed to him than discussing fashion with his siblings. Of course, he didn't have a choice at the moment.

"Fine, you win Izzy." Jace conceded. "We ready to go? Alec?"

Alec had been staring off into space, composing verse in his head.

"What- I-yeah, wait…what?"

"Preoccupied much?" Isabelle teased. "You sure you're ready for this?"

"Yeah, I'll meet you outside." Alec said. Isabelle and Jace stood up to go, throwing away their trash. Isabelle looked back knowingly at Alec as she stepped out into the cold, her breath turning to clouds.

Alec wondered if he could fit the entire empty coffee cup into his jacket pocket. He decided that this had the potential to be problematic while demon hunting. Also Jace and Izzy would never let him hear the end of it. So he grabbed a clean napkin and jotted down Magnus's number, sticking it in his pocket.

Magnus was serving another customer as Alec prepared to leave. Alec nodded in his direction as he walked by on his way to the door.

Magnus saw it and smiled at him, almost overfilling the cup.

Alec smiled to himself and started to walk out the door, almost plowing straight into someone. It was a boy his age with emerald green eyes and long, straight, dyed-green hair pulled into a ponytail.

"Hey Ragnor, hurry up, Her Ladyship isn't in a good mood today." Magnus called.

"Is she ever?" Ragnor grumbled, pulling on a bright green Starbucks apron. Alec couldn't believe it, but somehow all that green looked good together. He realized he was staring and left quickly.

"And just who is that tall, dark and handsome young man, with big blue eyes about to fall out of his head?" Ragnor chuckled quietly, so Camille wouldn't hear them and explode for talking in front of customers.

"Hey, I call dibs. I saw him first." Magnus protested.

"Sh! Keep your voice down."

"All I'm saying is, we definitely connected. We had a moment. Several moments."

"Sure." Ragnor smirked as he finished tying on his apron. "You up for a wager?"

"Always." Magnus said, smiling in return. "Terms?"

"I bet you that I can get him to go out with me before you."

"And if you lose?"

"I'll cover your shift next Friday night."

"Ok. But I want you to be wearing a pair of bright pink, glittery cat ears when you do it."

Ragnor grimaced as if he had indigestion.

"Fiiiinnnee." He ground out, sounding exactly like Severus Snape. "And what do you mean when I do it? I might win."

"In your dreams, my little sea monster."

"Oh it's so on."

"Bring it, my little green broccoli head."

"Boys, I am hearing far too much chitchat. Is the shop empty? You need to be helping customers and not making stupid bets. " whisper-yelled Camille from the back room, where she was "taking inventory," and in reality texting her boyfriend.

"Grrrrrrr. Welcome to Starbucks, what can I get you?"
