Worst Friends Ever

Clary meets a waiter at a restaurant who takes a deep interest in her. She reciprocates the interest and goes on a date with the golden beauty. What once was innocent flirting turns into a genuine, and passionate love. What conflicts could arise?

I changed into a flowy, white, strapless crop top that had sleeves on the arms, black stripes and a sweetheart neckline, a pair of high waisted ripped shorts, and black heels. I grabbed my wallet, keys and black sunglasses from my dresser, and ran down the stairs of my New York City apartment.

"Mom I'm meeting Izzy, Alec and Simon at a restaurant. Be back later." I shouted to my mom.

She replied only seconds later. "Okay. Have fun. Be safe. Do you have your key?"

"Yeah mom.", I said half listening, while texting Simon on my rose gold iPhone 6.

I exited the building and started my way to the restaurant. When I got there, I didn't spot any of my friends at the old fast food diner so I grabbed a booth and texted back and forth between Izzy, Alec and Simon. After a minute or two, a blonde waiter came to the booth. He was beautiful. Like super beautiful. The kind of man I wanted to do things to in my dreams.

"Hi. My name's Jace. Can I help you?" The guy, Jace-God I even want to have sex with his name it's so hot-asks.

"Hey. Um I'm just waiting on a few friends but I'll take a water please." I reply trying to keep my voice steady.

"All right. Any appetizers?"

"Not at the moment thanks."

"Alright I get that water for you." Good. I'll need it. I smile at him.

He comes back moments later. "Here ya go." He almost drops the water on me and stutters out "Sorry I get nervous when I'm around pretty girls."

"Use that line often blondie?" I say jokingly.

"Nope. As I said-I get nervous." He laughs a little and I join. "Would you um maybe like to go out sometime with me?" He asks and it's my turn to sputter out an answer.

"Sure. But I'll have to get your number."

"And I'll need your name." He says getting a pen and a napkin and scribbling numbers down.

"Clary." I smile shyly at him as he gives me the napkin and walks away with a wink.

After five minutes of more waiting, Alec and Izzy come inside.

"Hey clary. How are you today?" Iz asks.

"I am perfect. It's a perfect day." I say

"Jeez what's in to you?" Alec asks.

"Oh my god Alec! I missed you so much! How's college? How are the boys? Wait-How's Magnus?!" I say hugging him tightly and wiggling my eyebrows when I mention Alec's latest boyfriend.

"It's great. The boys are cute. Magnus is great. It's hard to make stupid decisions when you aren't there. Which makes it boring sometimes."

"Aww same here. And it's easier to make stupid decisions when your not here because I cant here your lousy

ass voice telling me not to do something." I say as we sit down, Alec on the inside seat of the booth me next to him.

Alec and I were best friends once upon a time-we still are. He's like my brother and it's been hard and weird without him. I lean into him, knowing that I should cherish the time that he is here with me instead of away at UCLA. He looks down at me, worry written on his face. "Clare you okay?"

"Yeah I just missed you a lot." I say hugging him to me.

"I missed you too buddy." He says as he wraps his long arm around me.

After lunch, which included flirting banter between Jace and me, Alec walked me home and spent the night. I got ready for bed, slipping on a chunky gray knit sweater, black, tight, comfy short shorts, and black thigh high socks. Jace texted me before Alec put in the first movie.

'Hey. It's Jace. How's tomorrow at 8:30 for coffee?' The text reads. I smile a little to myself.

'Sounds good. You picking me up?' I reply

'Yeah. What's your address?'

I give him my apartment number and the apartment complex address and we text during the movie without Alec's knowing.

The next morning, I wake up in my fluffy, gray comforter with my light pink sheets tangled at my feet. I rub my face and pick up my phone from its spot on the bedside table.

Yawning, I scroll through my Twitter, and Instagram and Facebook feed and after 10 minutes decide to get up. It's 8:25 and I decide to go into the guest room to wake up Alec.

When he awakes abruptly, I go downstairs and make a cup of coffee.

There's a knock on the apartment door and frowning I go open it.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity fuck fuckfuckshit.

"Fuck. Hey. Um coffee at 8:30 meant coffee at 8:30 in the morning?" I say to Jace.

"Yeah. It's fine if your not ready."

"I'm so sorry. God come in. I'll be ready in just a sec I swear." As I run up the stairs, Alec is going down, mumbling incoherent things about coffee.

When I get to my room, I hastily pick out an outfit, and start to brush my hair. I chose a black strappy lace bralett, a loose white tank top, black ripped jeans and black ankle boots with a chunky heel. I put on my makeup, going with foundation, bronzer, powder finish, eyeliner and mascara. It looked a little chilly out so I grabbed a black jacket, put my hair in a pretty messy bun and went downstairs.

"Clare did you let this stranger into your home." Alec asks, sitting on the couch sipping his coffee.

"Yes. Alec, Jace. Jace, Alec. Let's go Jace. Bye Alec. Leave whenever."

When Jace and I got out of the apartment, we went down the stairs hand in hand. I practically dragged him out of the apartment, not wanting my mom to see him, knowing she'd make a scene. He opens the passenger side door of a small, rusty white for pick up. I hop inside with a thank you and wait for him to get in too.

"So where are we going for coffee today?"

"The old Java Jones. Please tell me you've heard of it."

"Hella yes! Are you shitting me? That place's coffee is my drug!" I say.

Okay! Hope you like it! I'm pretty excited about this story so far. I have a few ideas but honestly I think I'm gonna let this story go where it wants to. Enjoy guys! Fuck. It's been so long since I've been on here? ﾟﾑﾍ? hope no one minds. I've just been swamped with finals and EOCs and my asshat teachers do not make it at all easier.? ﾟﾒﾩ?ￂﾠ
