I opened the door to reveal Alec and tightened the grip on my towel.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked him but before I knew it, his lips were on mine.
I wanted to give into the temptation. I wanted to wrap my arms around his neck and to pull him closer than possible. Alec and I had made it this far already but there was something not right.
I was tortured my entire life, left for dead, kidnapped again, and yet I haven't given myself any time to really let myself heal.
I pulled back, "Alec," My voice was barely a whisper. "I-I can't. I'm sorry." I rushed to the bathroom, locking myself in until I heard my main door shut, hopefully signaling his departure. I hurried into getting dressed and throwing on my workout shoes to go with my workout clothes. I snuck from the room and hastily walked through the building, almost making my escape until I slammed right into another body.
"Woah, where's the fire?" Isaac's hands shot out to steady me and I let out a breathy laugh.
"Sorry, I'm in a rush avoiding people." I glanced around, seeing Alec and Izzy together at a computer and my eyes widened. I pushed Isaac back a couple of steps where a wall would hide our view. My hands landed on his chest and when I finally noticed, I removed them, immediately blushing. "Sorry for that. I gotta go." I tried moving around him but he stopped me again.
"Wait, uh, where are you going?"
"Magnus'. I need to train with someone else that has magic to hone in on my powers." It wasn't a complete lie. I needed to talk with him about my feelings with Alec too.
"Can I come?" I rolled my eyes.
"Fine, just hurry up." I could hear Alec and Izzy walk closer to the wall hiding me and I quickly opened a portal before grasping Isaac's hand and pulling him through to Magnus Banes fancy apartment.
Magnus' eyes were wide at our entrance. "No one knocks anymore." He took in my features, "Oh dear." Magically conjuring up a cocktail shaker, he started mixing. "Isaac Branwell, I presume?" He asked the boy next to me.
With a nod, he rebutted. "Magnus, nice to see you again. We didn't speak when you were helping Alec heal but I saw you around. It's an honor to meet such a powerful warlock." He stepped forward to shake the magic mans hand who snapped his fingers and made the shaker mix on it's own while he shook his hand.
