Chapter Four: The Date,

Magnus was right, I would like this surprise. We were at the show; I haven't been to the show since I was 7 years old. 'I thought we were going out for dinner?' I asked.

'We are, I just thought you'd like to stop by the show before we eat. Don't you want to be here?' I could hear the sadness creep into his voice.

'I do, I love the show, I haven't been here in years though. So what do you want to do?'
'Other than you,' Magnus winked, my cheeks burned. He must love making me blush. 'I would like to go on the Ferris wheel.'

'Ok, let's go.'

We stood in line to buy our tickets, 'could I get two tickets please?' Magnus said to the carnie. Two tickets? 'Magnus please say you bought two tickets because you wanted to go on the ride twice.'

'Nope, I bought two because there's two of us, here take your ticket.'

'No, I'm not taking it.'

Magnus muttered a few words and I felt something in my hand, the ticket.

'Take it back!' I tried to give him back the ticket but I couldn't let go of the ticket.

'Alec the only way you're letting go of that ticket is if you give it the carnie waiting for us.'

'Your mean.'

'And you're cute.' He smiled and my heart skipped a beat.

We sat in our seats, Magnus turned to me and said, 'do you know what my favorite part about Ferris Wheels is?'

'No.'

'If the person your with gets scared you can hold onto them.'

'I'm not scared of heights though.'

'Well then, I'm scared of heights and need someone to hold onto.'

Magnus wrapped his arms around me and I did the same, before we knew it, the ride was over.

'I liked that ride, we should go on it again before we leave.' Magnus said and I agreed.

We wondered around, went on a few rides until we decided we were hungry. Magnus drove us to this fancy restaurant called, 'The Flying Horse' dinner was the usual, talking, joking, flirting and of course eating. Magnus excused himself from the table and went to the bathroom; I looked around the restaurant and saw someone's familiar gold eyes. Jace Herondale, my adoptive brother. I turned the opposite way and hoped he didn't see me, but then I heard his voice, 'Alec, Alec Lightwood, I see you sitting there on your own, turn around,' he teased, 'if you don't turn around in the next two seconds I'm going to-' I didn't find out what he was going to do because I could hear Clary's shushing him. Next I could hear footsteps walking my way.
