The next chapter. Hope you like it.
"Oh. Morning." Jace said walking into the kitchen. "No walks today?"
I smiled at him. "Not yet."
Just got home. I thought happily before taking another spoonful of cereal to hide my smile.
Magnus and I ended up sleeping in that meadow and then this morning we woke up to the sunrise. After watching the beautiful sight-and of course kissing some more-he portaled us near the Institute and after one more goodbye kiss went home himself. I wanted to go with him so badly but I knew that it would be good if my family saw me here at least one morning.
And that is how I ended up eating breakfast at six am and waiting for the others to wake up.
All in all after everything that happened today and yesterday I felt incredibly giddy and happy. It still felt like a dream. Everything was just too perfect to be the truth. But it was.
It took everything in me to not grin.
"You seem happy today." Jace commented sitting next to me with his own bowl of cereal.
"Do I?" I asked simply and continued eating.
"Yes you do." He looked me over. "Did something happen?"
"No." I said but in my mind I was practically screaming 'yes'. He loves me.
Magnus loves me.
"Alec?" He started after a minute of silence.
I looked up at him questioningly.
"Can I ask you something?" I nodded at his words, chewing my food slowly. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
I almost choked at his words and started coughing.
Where the hell did that come from?
I heard laughing from the doorway and looked up with teary eyes-from the coughing-only to see Izzy walking towards us, looking amused.
Jace hit my back a few times before I was able to breathe normally again.
"What's so funny?" Jace asked confused.
"Oh nothing." Izzy said sitting on the other side of me. "Nothing at all."
I glared at her from the corner of my eye and she just smiled.
"So do you?" Jace asked after another minute of silence.
"No." I said simply wanting with all my heart for a change of subject.
"Do you want me to set you up with someone?" Jace asked eating his food and not at all seeing what impact his words had on me.
"No. Not necessary Jace. No need for that." I said quickly and I looked at Izzy for help.
"What he means…" Izzy took over, looking at the confused looking Jace. "Is that he already likes someone and doesn't need your help."
I glared at her again. Not helping! Not helping at all!
"Oh ok. Is she hot?"
By The Angel!
I just nodded, my eyes fixed on my-now empty-bowl.
"Ok. Well I wish you luck then." He patted me on the back before getting up and taking his own bowl to the sink. "I'm going to the training room. See you there in ten minutes."
"Yeah sure." I mumbled as Izzy said. "Goodbye."
"'He already likes someone'?! What was that about!?" I turned to her as soon as I was sure that he was out of earshot.
"I don't know what you mean my dear brother." She said simply. "I was just trying to help. It worked didn't it?"
I just mumbled out a incoherent response and got up to wash the bowl.
"Exactly. And I wasn't lying since you do like Magnus." She said.
"Speaking of Magnus…" She got up and walked to me. "You seem in a good mood today. Did something happen?"
"No." I answered simply.
"Oh really?" She leaned onto the counter next to me. "You spend the night with your boyfriend- again if I might add-get home at six in the morning with a smile on your face and I'm suppose to believe you that nothing happened?! I'm not stupid Alec."
By her smile I knew what she was thinking and it made me blush.
"It wasn't anything like that Izzy. It was-" I cut myself off before I could say more.
"Yes-? It was…"
"Izzy we can't talk here. Someone could come in." I said glancing towards the door.
"Fine then." She grabbed my arm, dragged me out of the kitchen and through the hallway.
"Izzy. Where are you taking me?" I asked as she continued to drag me on.
She didn't answer me but we were soon in her room, behind the closed door.
"Now spill it." She commended, sitting us both down on her bed. "What happened last night?"
"There is nothing to tell." I said fiddling with her comforter.
"Alec…"
"There really isn't." I said with a sigh. "He took me to a meadow for a picnic and told me he loves me." I said trying to sound as natural and nonchalant about it as I could.
"Wait, what?!" She looked at me in shock. "He told you that?! Magnus told you he loves you?!"
I nodded with a slight blush.
"By The Angel I'm so happy for you." She hugged me but then suddenly pulled back to look at me. "What did you say to him? Do you love him Alec?"
"I do." I said awkwardly, scratching the back of my neck.
"And what about Jace?" Her gaze was still fixed on me.
"I don't love him." I said looking down. "I never really did."
The second those words left my mouth I was pulled into another hug. "By The Angel I'm so happy right now. Finally."
"Finally what?" I asked her returning the hug but still feeling incredibly awkward with all of this.
"Finally you're happy." She said and pulled back out of the hug again. "Now details. I need you to tell me everything."
"No." I turned red.
"Oh come on Alec. I want to know."
"No way." I said sternly. "I'm not talking about boys with you."
"Why not?" She asked me.
"The fact that I am gay doesn't mean that I want to talk about boys with you." I said feeling shocked at how easily I said the word. A month ago I couldn't even think about it without claming up and feeling ashamed of myself.
Magnus really did change a lot.
"Well I can't talk about boys with Jace." She pointed out.
"I don't care. You can't with me either." I said and got up off the bed. "Now come on. Jace is waiting for us."
I offered her a hand to help her get up, which she took, and we walked out of the door. Izzy was still a little annoyed but looked happy nonetheless.
…
Coming over darling?
I saw the text message from Magnus when I got back in my room and fell onto the bed.
I looked at the clock. Eight pm already?
I'm sorry but I can't. I had training and am feeling way too tired right now to walk to Brooklyn.
I sent back feeling guilty. I miss Magnus and I want to see him but I really am tired.
But darling, I miss you.
I smiled before responding.
I miss you too but I really can't. I'll come tomorrow morning, ok?
It didn't take long for a response to come.
Fine. I guess I'll just have to cuddle with The Chairman today. Love you.
I stopped when I read the last part and smiled widely.
Love you too.
I sent back with a blush before resting my phone on the bedside table and rolling onto my back.
I was looking at the ceiling and thinking about Magnus, wishing I was there with him, when I heard the door creak open. I sat up alert in seconds.
From the light of the moon that was seeping through my window I saw a flash of something bright. I immediately knew who it was and sighed in relief flopping back onto my back.
"Magnus don't do that." I said but was fighting a smile. "You scared me."
"Sorry, darling." I felt the mattress dip slightly as he sat on the edge of it and put his hand on the arm that was covering my eyes.
"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked him, scooting a little so he can lie down next to me.
"Well I got this text message from my boyfriend…" He started, lying down and putting his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. "Saying that he couldn't come over. So I decided to go to him instead." He said and kissed me.
I smiled into the kiss and he pulled me even closer.
Soon the kiss turned more heated and his hands trailed to the button of my pants.
"Magnus…" I argued pushing him away a little even though I wanted so badly to do the opposite. "Magnus, Jace's room is right next to mine." I whispered.
"Don't worry darling. I did a quick soundproofing spell." He said while kissing down my neck.
I moaned before getting back on track.
"The door-"
"Is safely locked." He said before sealing his lips over mine. "Any more objections?"
I looked at his golden green eyes before pulling him in for another kiss.
He smiled into it before kissing me hungrily again.
Did you like it? Tell me what you think. I know it's not the best but it's still cute.
So, I was looking through my notes and it seems I'm not even half done with this story yet. I have a lot more torturing to do to you before that. Anyway, the more reviews I have the faster the next chapter will come.
