Sophie's Choice (a Raphael Santiago/George Weasley love story)

Chapter 11: My Awesome Vampire Boyfriend And Operation Malec

A little while later, I went to my dad's house. He sat on the couch and I went over to him with his back facing me, and wrapped my hands around his neck. He turned his head to look, when he saw it was me he relaxed and told me to go sit next to him. I did and I just hugged him from the side and we stayed like that for a long time. Then he spoke and said "hey, Soph I need to tell you something". "Okay, shoot". "Well, you know now that your family of Jace and Clary, and of Valentine and Luke". "Yes I know". "Well, what do you think of Alec?" He asked me. At that I grinned and looked up at him with a serious look on my face. "Well, to be honest I totally don't like him, he's so annoying ". He lowered his gaze and he was totally depressed. "Why?" "Because, because I like him a lot". He told me with a blush on his face. "Wait how do you mean like? do you mean like a friend or like a lover?" "More like a lover". I inwardly screamed like a fangirl would when her favorite otp kiss. I couldn't hold it in much longer, "I knew it, I knew it, I fucking knew it" I screamed happily and hugged the crap out of him. He looked at me like I was a crazy fangirl, which I probably was. No, that's who I am. But that's not the point. "I knew you liked him, I knew it. I love Alec like he's my big brother. I love him like he's family, he's the most amazing best friend/brother from another mother I've ever had". At that his face brightened and he looked like a happy puppy, a lovestruck happy puppy. I went to my room, which he built for us last week. I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed the phone numbers of the gang, that's what we call ourselves. (Clary, Simon, Jace, Izzy, Max and Raphael. Normally Alec and my dad are with us too, but they mustn't know about this. So they're not in the groups chat), we had a groups call. "Hey, we need to get Alec and my dad together. I know my dad likes Alec, we only need to know if Alec likes my dad too". "Maybe I can ask him?" Izzy asked. "Yeah, you can try that. Oh shit, my dad is coming to my room. Bye", I said to them. They chorused bye and I hang up. I sat on my bed and took a book, so it looked like I was reading. It worked, he said he didn't want to disturb me and left. I wanted to go to the hotel, so I put my phone back in the pocket of my jeans and walked down the stairs. I said "bye dad, I'm going to Raphael". "Bye, if he tries anything on you you don't like, just text me and I turn him into a fly". He told me, I rolled my eyes and left. When I arrived at the hotel, Raphael greeted me with a smile and the butterflies in my stomach just turned into mega elephants. We went to his room, to discuss things in private. We sat on his bed and I felt a little awkward, I mean the last time I saw him we hugged and I cried and looked like a complete mess. He broke the silence and said "I want to talk about the kiss, if you don't mind?" "No, not at all. Shoot". "Well you know the first time we met, you fell and I catched you. Since then I can't stop thinking about you, and when you made those jokes I realized you were incredibly funny. And every time I saw you, you would look and threat me as if I was just your equal. You were the only one who didn't saw me as a 'vampire' but as Raphael, from then I just knew you were the most amazing girl I've ever known. And when you were at the hotel, you didn't think of us as ugly vampires, but just as any other human being although we're not. And when Simon was turned, you didn't think of yourself like the redhead but you thought about Simon. You put others before yourself. Every time you take my advice, and you thanked me, and you defended me and you just care about downwolders. It's just nobody has ever done that for me. I realized then that I loved your smile, and your jokes, and your friendliness, and your care about others, and your face, your beautiful brown hair, and the way your eyes light up every time when you talk about something you love, and the way your heart speed up every time you see me, and your heartbeat when you lay next to me, and the way that I feel almost human when I'm around you and It's just I love you". After his speech I just sat there and I didn't know what to say, he loved me. He freaking fucking loved me, Raphael Santiago just told me he loved me. This is the best day of my life. Then he said "I understand if you don't feel the same, I've not much to offer and I know I'm dead". When he went to say something else I silenced him to stop. "Just be quiet for a minute can you, damn it". He stopped his rambling and looked at me with hope and love in his eyes. "Raphael, I think your a very very sweet guy. No I know you are, and the first time I met you when I fell. I was totally paralyzed, I immediately liked you and I wanted to kiss you right in front of everyone. Every time you were near me I got butterflies In my stomach, and they turned into elephants. Really annoying actually. I just couldn't look away, even when I thought you were about to kill me and my friends I could only think about how cute you are. And I'm just really grateful for what you've done for me, and I was scared you didn't feel the same way. I love your smile, and your gentlemanliness, and the way your eyes light up when you see something or talk about something you like, and your cuteness, and the way you can always make me feel safe and I love you. I freaking love you. Oh and by the way, I don't care if you've got no heartbeat. Or that you don't age or that you drink blood, because I love your personality and I love you for you". At the end of my speech his face lit up and he leaned forward and we kissed again, it was so amazing. We made out for a long time, Of course I didn't mind. He put one of his arm around my waist and the other on the back of my neck. I put my arms on his neck and tried to pull him as close as I could. He picked up my legs and threw them around him, he licked my bottom lip. But I decided to tease him a bit and held my lips closed. He didn't like that so he pushed us over so I lay on my back with him on top of me. I didn't expected it so I gasped and then he took the opportunity to enter my mouth with his tongue. We made out for a while, when we were done he laid his forehead on mine and said "te amo". I said "te amo" back and he laughed a little about my accent and kissed me again, but softer this time. After that he laid next to me and put his arm around me and I laid my head on his shoulder, so we were cuddling. We laid there in peace for a while, till he again broke the silence with a question. "I want to ask you something, and just be honest with me okay?". It terrified me a little, what could he probably ask me that's so important. He swallowed and breathed a breath he doesn't need anymore and asked me "Will you maybe want to be my girlfriend?" I was overjoyed. THE Raphael Santiago asks me, ME to become his girlfriend. He was waiting for my response and how longer it takes how more nauseous he gets, finally I told him "yes, I would love to be your girlfriend". He was so excited, he lifted me up and spun me around the room. It was so cute, he looked just really really cute. I'm so glad I met him. We kissed again and again, how nice would it be to kiss him forever. The only problem is I'm not undead, wait I am just for a part. I need to ask my dad about that. "Hey Raph, do you want to go to Taki's? We need to bring my dad and Alec together, because if they need it to do it their selves it would take centuries. And we all know Alec doesn't have that much time". "Yeah, sure. We will go with my bike, if that's okay?". "You mean your awesome bad ass vamp mobile, yes of course. You know, this looks a lot like batman". He laughed his adorable laugh and said "you definitely watch too many movies". Whoa, now I was definitely offended. "Yes, I know. But the good news is, you will be too". I told him with an innocent smile on my face. He chuckled and put me on his motorcycle. "Hey, can I maybe drive?" I asked him. "Absolutely not, you can get hurt and that I can't die doesn't mean that I can't get hurt. And with your driving skills that will definitely happen". Okay thanks, now I'm more offended. But I didn't argue, and we drove to Taki's. Before we went I texted the rest of the gang to be at Taki's. When we arrived they all were there. Clary, Jace, Izzy, Max and Simon all said hi. When they saw Raphael they gave me a questioning look. "Hey guys, so your clearly thinking why is he here. He doesn't like Magnus or Alec, well he is friends with Magnus. Sort of I think, but anyways. Raphael is my boyfriend, so if you don't want him here you can go". They all looked at me happily, and then Clary said "finally, we didn't think you would become a couple in the first fifty years". She laughed and the rest joined in, okay I have such great friends. So we were making a plan for my dad and Alec, till Alec called me. "Hey Soph, were are you? I need to tell you something". "Hey Alec, I'm at Raphael's. What do you need to tell me?" "Well I'm getting married". I was taking a sip of my cola and nearly chocked, if it wasn't for Raphael who had clasped me on my back to let me breath. When I could finally breath and talk again I stood up and walked to the other side of the room. I asked him "wait a minute, your getting married? To who?" It couldn't be my dad right, he would've told me. "I'm marrying Lydia". What the fucking hell, he likes my dad and he marries a girl he doesn't know. "Why?" "Well, the clave thinks we're not good enough to lead the institute and they might give it away to someone else. And I would save my family when I marry Lydia". He told me. "So the only reason your doing this, is because of your family's reputation. Damn it Alec, your such an idiot". "Wait, why am I an idiot?" "Your an idiot, because if you do this it's for the rest of your life. You can't do this, you need to listen to your heart. Fuck those brains, just do what you want. Who cares if your parents need to give the institute in charge of someone else, I mean they let you stay right? So I don't think that would be such a problem, just do what YOU want for the first time in your god damn life, okay?" "Thanks Soph, you are the most amazing best friend I've ever had. Don't say to Jace I said that". I laughed at that, and replied "of course I tell him. He would be so much more fun without his ego". He laughed and said "the wedding is in 4 days, I hope you will come" "Of course I will, your my best big brother from another mother. I wouldn't miss it for the world". We said bye and I hung up. Everyone looked at me eagerly to tell them what happened. "Well, Alec called". "Yes miss obvious we know, tell us what he said" "Damn woman calm down, he said he's going to marry Lydia". They were all shocked, because every time when my dad comes into the room Alec loses his ability to function. It's really funny and cute, especially because my dad does the same. Only he can hide it behind his glitter, and his sarcasm. "Why?" Izzy asked. "Because the clave don't think your parents are compatible enough to run the institute, and he thought that the wedding would calm the clave down". Simon spoke up, "We need to stop the wedding, we can't let the Malec ship get ruined". My eyes widened and I could hear Clary and Max mumble "oh no, not again. Damn it Simon". Everyone knows how freaking crazy I am when I fangirl, even people who don't know me know it. Then Simon realized what he just said and said "shit". "Wow hold up a moment Si. There is a Malec ship, why did nobody tell me? I would be the number one Malec fan, you know I would cheer them on with a big foam finger how can nobody tell the captain of their ship? That's so cruel of you guys, I will load the canons and let this ship sail as if it's the last thing I will do. I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP" They laughed and rolled their eyes, then they were being serious again. "When is the wedding?" Clary asked. "It's in 4 das". "Wait, did you say 4. That's way too early, she still needs to find a dress and shoes and omg all the organizing will cost me weeks. I love my brother dearly but is he crazy, how do I need to do this all in four days?" "Izzy focus, now is not the time. We need to stop this wedding, like right now". "But what date is it in four days" "I've got no idea, I don't even have a clue which day today is". They all rolled their eyes at me, even my boyfriend. Ouch, that hurts. Nah actually not, I'm used to it.
