"You're not really in love with me, it isn't real. I feel like I've stolen you from someone... extraordinary." I tell the man in front of me with tears blurring my vision which only makes them worse because I desp...

Alec is quiet for a long time after I'm finished speaking, leaning back against my couch and staring at the wildflower canvas in-front of him like he isn't sure what to say. He opens his mouth a few times like he might've thought of something, before snapping it shut again.
"What the fuck?" He settles on, turning back to stare at me in disbelief and I sit here on this same stool with my arms wrapped around me feeling very small because it was all out there now. I couldn't take it back anymore. "I know it's stupid." I say for about the third time and he makes a face at me "You think? Love potion, are you and Isabelle out of your minds?" He asks me and I almost want to laugh despite it not being funny in the slightest.
"Have you been going around this whole time thinking that hocus-pocus shit actually worked?" He looks at me like I'm stupid and I narrow my eyes at him "Not to begin with Alec, but I still didn't want to use it on Simon just in case and then forgot all about it. Dismissed it as a ridiculous, childish idea until Jace miraculously fell in love with me out of nowhere directly after Isabelle essentially spiked him."
Alec huffs at me "And you thought he fell in love with you because of some potion thing you bought at a random store?" I mean when he says it like that it makes the whole thing sound ridiculous. Like Isabelle and I were twelve years old.
"Well once I realised Isabelle had given it to him I started to question the whole thing and then I couldn't get it out of my head. It's all I could think about. I asked him when he started developing feelings and he told me that party Alec, directly after he had that drink!" I mean I knew it sounded pathetic, I knew the whole thing was crazy town and I was the mayor.
"Honestly Alec, how many times has he been in love? You said it yourself, he was a serial womaniser. He got engaged to a woman then went back to his life as normal after she cheated on him. All of his 'girlfriends' have been supermodels and I'm-" Alec seems to have been thinking about it at first but gives me a disbelieving look at the end.
"You're what?" He asks me, leaning forward I glance down at myself, I'm slight and fair-skinned, my hair a red mop and tangled half the time "I don't know, me?" He leans back for a second like he's considering me, looking me over.
"Okay, stop with that for a start. You're pretty Clary, you're very pretty. I'm not going to spend too long stroking your ego but clearly men are attracted to you and Jace has a harder time than usual keeping it in his pants around you so I'd say you don't have to worry about that." He dismisses the idea completely.
