Chapter 2

The next day Alec woke up and went to work as usual. As he walked to Java Jones, with music in his ears, he heard his phone beep. Tiered and confused, he wondered who texted him this early.

-Good morning beautiful xoxo Magnus

Alec smiled, as he remember the gorgeous glitter man who walked into the café yesterday. He was surprised that this man was still talking to him. Magnus is the hottest guy Alec had ever seen, surely he wouldn't need to put in this time to get laid.

-You sure that this isn't good night for you? ;) xoxo Alec

Alec walked into the café, today he was working with Maia. He liked her better then Simon and she'd prepared everything so it was just for them to open. They said their hellos and when Alec's phone buzzed again he got a strange look from Maia. His phone almost never got any messages, until yesterday. The only ones who had his number was Izzy and his best friend Jace. Oh and Magnus of course, but Maia didn't know that.

-So when can I see you again? For a date ;) xoxo Magnus

Alec blushed, was this man really asking him out? Alec had been sure that he just wanted a hook up, something Alec had come to terms with, he really didn't mind. He wasn't used to be taken out on a date before a one-night stand.

"Why are you blushing?" Maia asked him and pinched his arm.

"I am not" Alec said, turning away to answer Magnus.

-I'm free tomorrow? Then I work all week :( xoxo Alec

"AHA!" Maia screamed as she snapped Alec's phone from his hands. "Oh my, are someone going on a date?" Maia asked, waving his phone. Alec blushed but smiled.

"Maybe" he said "if he dosen't change his mind" Alec added sadly.

"And why would he do that?" Maia asked, gesturing with her hands toward Alec as she added "I mean, look at you, if you weren't gay I'd totally date you"

"What about Jordan?" Alec teased Maia, Jordan was her boyfriend. She just rolled her eyes and before Maia could answer Alec's phone buzzed again. She quickly unlocked it and smiled wide.

"What, what did he say?" Alec asked, scared of what Magnus had answered. Maybe he was scared off by Alec working so much? A workaholic like Alec didn't party, not that he had any choice, he couldn't afford parties and he had to work unless he wanted to be homeless. However Magnus didn't know that, thus he'd probably think that Alec is a workaholic. Maia showed him his screen.

-Tomorrow works, though I'll miss not seeing your pretty face today :( I can pick you up at 7 p.m? xoxo Magnus

Alec smiled, he couldn't believe that this was happening, he'd only had casual sex since he broke up with Dave. He had no idea if he was ready for this, not that he wasn't over Dave, it's been almost 2 years, but was he ready for a potential relationship? He knew that if he and Magnus would ever become a couple he would have to share all his secrets. Alec was terrible at opening up to people. He decided to accept Magnus invite and was just about to answer the text when the bell rang, indicating that there was a costumer. Alec quickly put his phone down and turned to greet the costumer. Only to see Magnus, he wore sunglasses, which Alec didn't like, he wanted to see those beautiful eyes. His hair was a mess, not styled like yesterday but it was messy in a fancy way.

"Hi" Alec greeted Magnus with a smile. Magnus smiled back, looked around the café and removed his sunglasses.

"Hello there" Magnus said, walking up to the counter where Alec was standing "so it's true, they do have the prettiest boy in New York working here" Magnus flirted with Alec, causing him to blush a little.

"I didn't know that you worked here" Alec responded, making Magnus grin.

"Holy shit Alec" Maia almost screamed and somehow whispered at the same time behind him, making Alec jump a little. He hadn't noticed that she walked up behind him "is this your date?" she looked at him with big eyes.

"I really hope that I am" Magnus responded looking at Alec, with one eyebrow arched.

"Yes" Alec said and was just about to tell Magnus where he could pick him up tomorrow when Maia interrupted "DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO HE IS?!" this time, she screamed and almost made Alec deaf. He looked at Maia who was freaking out and then looked at Magnus who tilted his head and had an amused look on his face. He then turned back to Maia.

"Oh my" she said when she saw the confused look on Alec's face "you have no idea have you?" Alec shook his head, no idea why Maia was freaking out, she never freaked out.

"He's Starboy" Maia told Alec as she pointed towards Magnus. Alec followed Maias arm and looked at Magnus.

"That's me" he said with a grin "also known as Magnus Bane"

"I have no idea what that means" Alec told Magnus "but I'm Alec also known as Alexander Lightwood?" this caused both Maia and Magnus to laugh at him.

"Starboy is my stage name" Magnus explained "Maia here has outed me, I'm a pop-star" Alec's jaw dropped to the point where it was practically hitting the floor.

"And you still want to date me?!" Alec half-screamed, not understanding how someone famous would want to date someone like him.

"Uh-hu" Magnus nodded "if you're not freaked out" his usual confidence disappeared as he added that, rubbing his neck and looking down at the floor.

"Wha-? No, not at all" Alec said, this wasn't what he meant, he simply thought that he was too ordinary, not only was he plain looking comparing to the other man but that other man was also famous?!

Magnus smiled "lovely, text me your adress and I'll pick you up 7 p.m"

Alec nodded, smiling "do you want some coffee?"

"Well, I'd look desperate if I didn't buy anything, so I'll have an Espresso" Magnus said with a smile. As Alec turned around to make him the coffee, Maia stopped him.

"I'll make the coffee, it's a dream come true" she told him with big eyes "that man is like a god"

Alec let Maia make the coffee, using the time to chat with Magnus. He found it very easy to talk to Magnus, which was uncommon for Alec. He really enjoyed the conversation even though it was about nothing special. When Maia was done with the espresso, she asked Magnus for an autograph, which she got in exchange for her silence on Magnus and Alec's date. Not that Alec was worried about her telling people, she wasn't a blabber mouth. When Magnus had left, rush hour started. Alec was busy greeting costumers and taking orders. When Alec checked his phone at lunch, which for once consisted of real food, he'd gotten messages from Magnus.

-Have you already forgotten me? :( you're supposed to give me your adress xoxo Magnus

-Don't you get breaks? :( xoxo Magnus

-Alexander, do I need to google your adress? :( xoxo Magnus

Alec smiled as he answered Magnus, sending him his adress and apologizing for leaving him hanging, explaining that there had been a steady flow of costumers.

-Yay! Wear something pretty but warm. Don't bring cash, I'll pay ;) xoxo Magnus.

Alec freaked out, what was he supposed to wear? Pretty but warm? How the fuck would he pull that off? Shit.

-Could you tell me where we're going? :o I'll bring cash, you're not paying! xoxo Alec

He decided to text Jace, asking for help on what to wear. Not that Jace was an expert on clothes but he was the only one who could help Alec. It seemed like a very good choice when Magnus told him that the date was a surprise

"Have you finished your food?" Maia popped her head in the room. Alec nodded "I'll be right there". He went to wash up his plate and texted Magnus that he was going back to work. The rest of the work day flew by, Alec spent it thinking about his date tomorrow.
