And part two of meeting Annie! I'm hoping to do a bit more writing today, but we will see has I have some thing to do now that I can walk out of my house. The weather here as been awful and another Earthquake came as I was writing this for you lovelies. If you haven't seen it, When the Game Stands Tall is a great movie with our new Alexander Lightwood in it. Matt is doing a great job so far as I'm watching as I write the story. 14 days till Shadowhunters! I cannot wait :)B

ALEC

Once we reached the park, Annie ran for the same playground we met at last Saturday. Magnus pulled me over to a bench where we could watch and we just sit in a calm, comfortable silence. Not that we didn't have things to say, but considering the fact that I know, and so does he, that the promises we both made to that little girl are going to be so damn hard to keep. I already wanted to at least hold his hand, let alone feel those glossy lips on mine. When we walked into the apartment today and I saw him all made up, so totally different than at work, well...he was even more gorgeous. You know how girls love a man in a suit, well it's the same for me.

Seeing Magnus in his clothing for work always sends dirty thoughts. Seeing him in skinny jeans and a tee shirt that was just tight enough to help in the imagination was going to kill me slowly, I think. That and his eyes. The way he has them today makes me want to keep my eyes on his and just stare. I have never seen eyes like that on anyone, which is saying something. Izzy knows how to do make up to where it accents what she wants it to, but Magnus takes it up a notch. He's really beautiful, not that he isn't with less makeup. He's hot all the time, actually.

I keep my head on Annie, watching her play with some of the girls. She looks over and once she finds us, waves with a big smile on her face. I didn't know how long it would take her to be alright with me, but I was hoping sooner rather than later. We smiles and wave at the little girl, who makes her way over to us.

"Some boy is looking at us." she signs.

Magnus starts to look around and I just look at her and make faces to make her laugh while Magnus checks it out. Magnus leans over and points. I look to where he is and my smile goes away. It's Jordan. I don't know how he found me or if he just happened to be in the park. He does run on Saturdays through here and judging by his shorts, that's what he was doing.

I turn to Annie and get close. "Can I show your daddy that he shouldn't be worried? I know who that is and why he's looking over here."

She looks and her dad and then smiles, nodding her head. I lean over and turn Magnus' head to look at me. I raise my hand and palm his cheek.

"It's my ex. He runs on Saturdays and I guess he saw me. I promise it means nothing."

Then before he can answer, I kiss him on the cheek and run over to see what Jordan is going to say. I know he won't leave now that he saw me till I hear him out. I walk slowly over to him. He goes to hold up his hand and I beat him to it.

"I haven't answered because there's nothing to say. Leave me alone, Jordan." I sign.

He knows I'm angry and I watch as he holds up his hands. "I miss you."

I roll my eyes. "Yet, being with me wasn't what you wanted. I can't help I can't talk, I can't scream your name, can't voice how you made me feel while we were intimate. I can't help any of that. That didn't mean you had to fuck someone else instead of just talking about it. Now, stop texting, stop watching me. You're scaring my friend's daughter."

I didn't give him a chance to respond, just turned around. I tried to change the emotion on my face so I didn't scare Annie. I also haven't told Magnus how Jordan and I actually broke up. I didn't want him to judge me before we got to that point. We also weren't kissing yet, so I wasn't too sure he needed to know. I shake my head as his eyes meet mine, asking if I was alright. Annie runs over and I pick her up.

"Who's that man, Alec?" she signs.

I smile and lift my hand. "He's not important. You and your daddy are."

I tickle her little tummy and she I know she's giggling by her body language and I let her down when she motions she's ready to play. I sat next to Magnus and watch his daughter. The park was not the place to talk. He turns my head and I look at him. He holds my face in his hands and I know he's going to talk. I keep my eyes on his lips as he starts.

"I know something bad had to have happened for you to look like you're lost when you came back. I'm also not going to ask till you think I need to know."

I smile and nod in thanks.

He then motions to Annie who's trying to get us over to her. He gets up and chases her for a bit. I watch as Magnus chases her and picks her up, twirling around with her over his head like an airplane. I also watch as some ladies were watching us with her. I knew with Magnus looking how he did today that they knew, or assumed, our relationship. I also knew that, why they were wrong, they were talking about how wrong the both of us were. It was people like that, that made me glad I could hear them. I tried not to notice as they started to Magnus and Annie.

I also watched as Magnus got down and talked to his little girl. Annie than started to run to me and I picked her up. I now knew that Magnus knew what those ladies were saying. I turned Annie around and took her to the merry go round so I could push her while we waited for Magnus to say his peace to the ladies. I really hated people like that. The ones that were closed minded and thought love knew gender when it didn't. I feel Annie's hand on mine and she pulls me to sit with her. She gets in my lap so that we're face to face and then holds up her tiny hand.

"My daddy has smiled big all day with you. I never seen him smile like that. Those ladies made him sad, why?"

I let out a breath and hold up my hand. "Some people think only boys and girls can be together. They think love knows gender so that two boys, or two girls, would never be able to love."

She see her little eyes get upset as she starts with her hands again.

"But daddy says love doesn't know gender. That's why he likes you, Alec. He told me he wants you to be his boyfriend."

I smile at her and sign. "What do you want? It's up to you, not me or your dad."

I watch as she looks at Magnus and then back to me. "I don't know yet. Are you mad?"

I shake my head. "Never. You've had it bad, Annie. I don't blame you for taking your time deciding. You're going to have to share the best daddy in the whole world. It's important for you to be as ok with this as we are."

Before she can answer, Magnus comes over and tells her it's time to go home.

He gives me a hug and signs about texting later. I just nod, asking if the ladies were trouble. He just shakes his head and we smile. We both had things today that we weren't wanting when I was getting to know his little girl. Annie gives me a hug and then we split directions so we could get home now that the sun was starting to set. On the way, I think about my conversations. Both Jordan and Annie. I didn't talk with Magnus much, but that was fine. It was just as important for me to have him get along with my sister as it was for me to get along with Annie. I walk instead of taking the train and when I get into my apartment, Izzy's there with Simon. I smile and head to my room to put my phone on the charger and start a movie on my small TV. Izzy was watching something with Simon and I didn't want to interrupt. I saw my phone blink about half way and smiled, sliding it reply.

"Hey, thank you for today. Annie says she really likes you."

I smile. "I really like her too. Did those ladies say what I think they did?"

I sat the phone down and changed into my pajamas, heading to the kitchen after to grab a sandwich. Izzy wasn't in the living room and i wasn't about to check the room. I did that once and didn't like what I saw. I go back to my room and change the channel to some show as I see the light blink. I hit the picture of Magnus and smile.

"Oh yea, we're going to hell, we're not right, teaching my daughter wrong, blah blah fuckity blah."

I let out a silent chuckle before replying. "Jordan cheated on me. Told me some things. It was bad and him being at the park was unexpected. I'm sorry."

I sat the phone down and finished my sandwich before replying when he sent back a text.

"That really sucks, darling. If you don't feel comfortable talking about what he said, I can wait till you are. You get me and I hope you think the same. We should sleep though because my lovely little girl will wake me with the sun."

I smile and send back a "You get me too, Night, Magnus." before plugging my phone in and turning out the light.
