The next chapter. I'm sure you will LOVE this one.
I knocked on her bedroom door.
"Who is it?" She called from the inside.
"It's Alec." I answered and grabbed at the door knob. It was still locked. "Izzy open up. I need your help."
The door opened suddenly to reveal Izzy dressed in a very short looking dress. Perfect.
"Having another date my dear brother?" She asked leaning against the doorframe.
"Shush." I said pushing us both inside and closing the door quickly. "Not outside."
She rolled her eyes at me. "So, you have a date."
"Yeah I'm leaving in half an hour. And I was wondering if-"
"I'll cover for you don't worry." She said sitting at her vanity table and continuing with putting on her makeup.
"And I love you for it just-"
"Don't worry." She looked at me through the mirror. "I know that Jace is feeling suspicious about all the walks and everything so I'll just say we are going shopping."
I cringed at the word 'shopping' but at the same time felt relieved that she understood and is here to help.
I hugged her-as much as I could at the moment considering the fact that she was facing away from me and sitting. "Thank you. I love you. I don't know how I could have done all of this without you."
"I know. I'm irreplaceable." She said with a smile and patted my hand. "Now go to your boyfriend. Wouldn't want to keep him waiting now would you?"
I kissed her on the cheek once before exiting the room with a smile.
Now all I need to do is sneak out without anyone seeing me and I'm home free. I thought, walking towards my room to change.
On my way out there weren't any problems so I was able to get to the elevator and out of the building quickly and unnoticed.
It wasn't long until I was walking up the stairs to Magnus's loft.
The door opened just as I approached it and revealed a smiling Magnus.
"Hello there lovely." He said pulling me in for a kiss. "Punctual as always."
I blushed and let him drag me inside.
"Ok, you will just have to wait a few minutes for me to make a portal." He said letting go of my hand and walking to the one of the walls of the room.
"Umm… Where exactly are we going?" I asked feeling a little uneasy now.
A portal? What do we need a portal for? What is he planning?
"That…" He glanced over his shoulder at me with a smile and a gleam in his eyes. "Is a surprise my dear."
I groaned a little and heard him chuckle before he started chanting in a demon language.
It continued for a few more minutes before the portal was finally ready.
"Ready to go darling?" He asked, turning to me.
"I guess." I walked to him. "I would be a lot more ready if I actually knew where we are going…"
He grinned at me and took my hand. "Oh you'll see."
I held on tight as we entered the portal-because of the fact that I had no idea where we were going.
Soon my feet hit the solid ground again and I stumbled a few steps only to be straightened back up by Magnus. He still looked as perfect as he did before we entered the portal. Not even his hair was messed up- it was still in perfect spikes.
I was just about to ask him about it when I noticed our surroundings and stopped in awe.
We were in some kind of a meadow and the sight was just absolutely breathtaking. Behind us were lots trees, creating a forest but the way were facing… it showed hills and valleys with the sun hanging low over it all.
It was an amazing view.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Magnus whispered into my ear.
I looked at him, still in awe. "Where are we?"
"Not completely sure ." He mused, starting to walk forwards with my hand still in his and towing me along. "But we are definitely not on the same continent anymore. I think it might be Europe."
I looked around again, not caring where we are anymore. It was just so beautiful.
He stopped and I looked down at a…picnic blanket?!
I looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"I feel like having a picnic." He sat down and snapped his fingers, making food appear. "Care to join me?" He asked with a smile.
I smiled back as I sat across from him with our knees touching.
"Cupcake?" He asked handing me one.
"Thanks." I took it with a slight blush on my cheeks.
I'm having a picnic with Magnus! I thought still having a hard time believing it. A picnic! With Magnus!
"Mmm…It's delicious." I commented after the first bite, feeling his gaze locked on me.
"Only the best for you, darling." He said making me blush harder. "So adorable."
"I am not." I grumbled, continuing to eat my delicious cupcake. It was literally melting in my mouth.
He chuckled.
"You have a bit of the icing…" He leaned towards me. "Here." He whispered before poking out his tongue and licking my lower lip.
I tensed, being caught off guard, but didn't have time for anything else because he sealed his lips over mine and I was lost in the kiss.
As the kiss turned more heated he pulled me to him so that I was left sitting in his lap. A fact that would have normally turn me as red as a tomato if I wasn't so distracted at the moment.
We continued kissing until Magnus was lying on his back with me on top of him. The food was completely forgotten and probably snapped somewhere else by now.
"Look lovely." Magnus said when we finally broke apart.
I followed his gaze and looked towards the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen.
The colors as the sun slowly fell behind the trees just took my breath away.
"Beautiful." I breathed.
"Not at beautiful as you darling." I looked at Magnus with red cheeks and saw him looking at me instead of the sunset.
I connected our lips lightly. Sunset not even close my mind anymore.
As the sun set and the sky was overrun with stars our kissing stopped and we ended up just laying comfortably in the silence of the meadow.
"Hey darling." He spoke up after a few more minutes of comfortable silence.
"Yes?" I asked feeling a little sleepy because the atmosphere and the silence were slowly lulling me to sleep.
"Do you remember that promise I gave you the day we met?" He asked me, playing with my hair.
A promise?! What pro- Oh! I thought, all sleepiness gone in an instant as his past words echoed in my mind:
"You could get over him." and "I could help with the second one." He had said with a seductive smile.
I swallowed hard before nodding slowly. Wondering about where he's going with this.
"Did I succeed?"
I don't know what made me do it. If it was the feeling of the place or the surrealness of it all or just the uneasiness I could hear in his voice when he asked…but I nodded again.
I could feel the tension around us when I did but I was pretty sure most of it was from me.
What if he leaves me now? Maybe I was just a project to him. A little fun to have. His little project could be done now. I thought feeling uneasy. Because there is no way someone like him can love someone like me. It just never happens.
"That's good." He said bringing me even closer. I could hear something else in his voice. Was he smiling?!
I looked up at him to see that he really was smiling. He was smiling the softest and most loving smile I have ever seen. And his eyes were sparkling stronger than the stars above.
"And why is that?" I asked smiling a little smile myself. Forgetting what I was worried about a moment ago.
"Well that darling…" He said taking my hand in his. "Is because I love you. And having you love someone else just won't do."
I looked at him in shock by his words. Did I hear it wrong?! Am I dreaming?!
"You-You love me?!"
Magnus chuckled before caressing my cheek lightly with the hand that wasn't already holding mine. "Of course I do, my love. How could I not?"
I kissed him at his words. All I could think about in that moment was that he loves me!
He loves me! He loves me! He loves me! It was like a heartbeat. A rhythm that didn't ever stop.
He loves me!
In that moment I felt like I was on top of the world.
He loves me!
"I love you too." I whispered when we pulled apart.
He grinned like the Cheshire cat before kissing me again.
And that moment really did feel like a dream. Being in a beautiful meadow. Seeing the stars above and feeling Magnus's lean body pressed against mine as we kissed again and again and again. As he told me he loves me between kisses and I did the same. It was like the best dream I could ever have. And I never wanted to wake up.
Did you like it? Tell me what you think.
As you can see Magnus's plan was making Alec relax and feel comfortable before asking him about it. I think it worked well don't you.
So, since I was killing you with a cliffy two chapters ago I decided to play nice on this one and not write one now.
As a reward I would like at least 10 reviews please. If I get even more than that I'm posting again tomorrow. So review my lovelies.
