Against The Fate || Clalec || ( A Clary and Alec Fanfiction)

Chapter Three: Distraction

Alec

After minutes I wasted talking to this girl, we finally done with the coffee shop. The long talk with her was like a torture of boredom, but I needed to be warm to her so my plan could work.

I insisted to walk her home, another conversations again as we walked. Anyway, the mundane name was Emelie...wait, Emelie or Emmaline? Raziel, how could I forgot?
I didn't care though.

My eyes caught the sight of an alley not far from our path. When we're close to that place, I stopped walking, so did she. "Em, can I ask you something?"

She gave me a questioning smile but still answered, "Sure. You can ask me anything, I won't bite."

Ha ha. Very funny.

I should chuckled anyway, right? "Do you like my eyes color?"

She tilted her head aside, "I think it's cool," she said,

"Take a closer look, people said that there's a hint of grey in it, is it really there?" I fake reasoned. But she leaned closer anyway, and in the most unexpected way she could've think of, I leaned forward and caught her lips in mine.

But she didn't lean out or try to struggle. All she did was kissing me back. Weird.

I pulled her into the alley without breaking the kiss. My mind keeps racing to Clary, to what happened last night. The kiss. How it felt so good and special, how it felt so wild. It was like something exploded in every line of my veins.

While this kiss.. It felt like only a kiss, not more. So far from feeling my heart beating out of my ribcage and my head felt light and dizzy.

I tried harder. Pushing her against the brick wall near us, frustratedly kissing her. Trying to bring up the sensation of what I felt last night.

But still, I didn't feel anything. I couldn't get the taste of my Clary on her. Everything just felt so hollow, so different.
And if I compared this kiss to the kiss I had with Clary, this kiss felt like nothing. Completely nothing.

God knew how much I was scared that the feelings I have for Clary was only going to be happened when I was with Clary. And that it's always only going to be her.

I heard a double clap came out of nowhere. And all the sudden, Emilie froze as if she'd been turned into a stone statue.

Another voice came to my hearing, and I could already guessed exactly who it was. "Well well, who is this if it's not Alexander Lightwood seducing an innocent girl for fun," I quickly stepped away from her and looked directly at Magnus who was walking towards my direction. He was wearing his blue tuxedo with his cat eyes glowing so inhumanly under this dim light.

I prayed that he didn't notice how embarrassed I was.

"Well, Alexander, I didn't know you play with girls," a visible grin came across his lips.

A heat of nerves spread all over my body but I tried to shrug it and play calm. "Don't pay a big deal on her," I spoke, good thing my voice cooperate with me. "She was not my first."

Magnus expression turned into a little surprised and curious, he didn't really show it though. "Distraction, eh? I see."

How could he know?

"Distraction it is," I agreed. Lying to Magnus is like hiding a his favorite cake under your own bed, no matter how hard you tried to cover it, he would always find out.

A smirk came across his lips as he walked closer towards my direction. "You know you could always find distraction in here, Alexander." He pointed his finger to his own self.

A short chuckled came from my lips as I shrugged his words. "What about accompany me to buy some grocery, would you help me with that?"
