Chapter Five
Simon's POV
Okay so one minute Clary and I were having lunch and the next she's telling me that she has to leave because Stiles is scared of ponies and there's one in front of him. First of all I didn't know that Stiles was scared of anything. Second of all. Ponies? Of all things he could be scared of. He chose ponies.
I'm disappointed in him.
Just as Clary left though Scott slid into her seat. Scott McCall. You know the one that is supposed to be in Beacon Hills. The Werewolf that me...being a vampire has a huge crush on. That Scott McCall is the one sitting right in front of me.
I was so shocked that I was just sitting there kind of freaking out. Well I wasn't squealing that's a definite plus.
He was just smiling. He was smiling his dork smile that lit up the room. Oh my god I've got it bad. I've got it bad for a werewolf. This is bad. This is bad.
"Weather?" Did I actually just say that? I actually just said something about the weather. Maybe I'm more of an idiot than I thought. Ugh why do I have to be so embarrassing when I have a crush on someone?
To my surprise though he just let out a quiet laugh. Not making fun of me but he definitely had still found it amusing.
"Yeah it's a little cold today but I mean it's not too bad."
Was he actually playing along with this? Okay this was honestly just making me fall for him way harder than I already was.
He was actually following my horrible horrible attempts to act cool and start conversation. How cool was this guy? Like seriously.
"Do you want to order something or do you want me to just pay the bill and we can walk around?"
This time he didn't even say anything. He just grabbed the receipt off of the table and took it up to the front. When he came back he put his hands in his jacket pockets and then we walked out of the building.
"I'll pay you b-" I started but he instantly cut me off.
"Don't worry about it." He said as he put his hands in his pockets. I still had absolutely no idea where we were going or even how far it was.
For all I know he could be kidnapping me. Oh my god is he kidnapping me. What if he's taking me to his alpha so that his alpha can kill me? Or maybe I'm just overthinking this?
Okay I'm just probably overthinking this. I tend to do that a lot so doing it right now wouldn't be a very big surprise.
...
Finally we ended up stopping in an alley. Scott looked very embarrassed.
"I'm so sorry. I've never really been to new york and I have absolutely no idea where I thought I was going." His cheeks were bright red and after he said that he started stuttering random nonsense that made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
"Scott it's alright you're good. I actually have a place we can go. I mean it's nothing like the place we were just at or this alley. Seriously man. 10/10 on your alley picking skills, but I have something that might come close to it." So I took his hand and used my vampire speed to get us there in seconds. Maybe not even that slow.
When we got there he hunched over as soon as we stopped. I thought he was going to get sick until he stood up straight. His face was pale.
"Dude you gotta warn me before you do that okay?" I nodded and quickly apologized even though he didn't seem to want me to apologize. Kept saying that I didn't do anything wrong.
We walked for a little bit until we finally got to where I was leading him. It was the top of a shorter building that looked over a crossroad intersection. This was probably one of my most favorite places in the entire world.
Now I know what you're thinking. Why would a busy intersection be one of your favorite places in the world? Well...you'll see.
"Okay Scott what time is it?" He pulled his phone out and checked it.
"3:39 pm." Okay it was about to happen.
"Okay focus on that restaurant in the front with the statue on the outside of it." Once the clock struck 3:40 the best thing happened. It happens everyday but that doesn't mean it's any less amazing than it is the time before.
It's at 3:40 pm everyday that a mama bird flies back to her nest to check on her babies and she sings to them. I know that birds usually sing in the morning but this one's different.
Actually this time was different all together. One of the babies were missing from the nest.
I ran down there without even a second thought and instantly noticed that one of the babies had fallen out of it's nest.
Of course me being me I helped it back up before finally going back up to where Scott was.
"That was a really good thing to do dude. Is the whole bird thing why you brought me here?" I nodded at his question and he just continued to look at the nest.
"You know? This is honestly the most calming day I've had in years...thank you for bringing me here. I'm glad I got to see you."
Then something happened that I wasn't expecting to happen.
Scott grabbed my hand. It wasn't aggressive it was gentle and as soon as he touched me I felt sparks. There was something there. At least on my side.
I have no idea if he felt anything. I'm really hoping he did.
Well he must've felt something if he was the one that grabbed my hand in the first place.
So I did what any sane person would've done. I gripped his hand a little tighter and hoped that this would be going somewhere.
