Chapter 1: Rip off his head or Rip off his Shirt?
His hands were on her body and Clary swore that she was on fire, but the fire was heavenly and pure. He kissed her again and his name escaped her mouth.
Jace
That's when she woke up.
Clary was covered in sweat and she was panting. That was the third dream this week where she was making out with Jace. What the hell was wrong with her? Jace wasn't supposed to be lurking in her dreams especially this type of dream. Maybe it's just because her mom's getting married, so she was just filled with romantic fantasies.
Her mom's fiance, Luke, has been staying with them since they got engaged. At first it was a bit weird, but she got accustomed to it. It was actually kind of nice to have him here. Unfortunately, Luke has an adopted son that is apparently going to start staying over at their house. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if it wasn't for the fact that she went to school with him and his name was Jace Herondale as in the same Jace that she was having sex dreams with.
Clary didn't have anything against Jace. Besides his arrogance, his sarcasm, and his unnecessary flirting, he was always respectful towards her mom, and Luke speaks very highly of him. The problem was that she kept on having this dream when Sebastian and her were still together well kind of together. They were talking mostly in texts and through the phone but it counts.
"Clary!" she heard her mom call from outside her room.
"Going!" she stood up and thought about whether she should change first. Clary looked down at her shorts and her small tank top. She wasn't wearing a bra, but she knew that Luke and Jace were still fishing and they wouldn't be back until later, and it would just be her mom. Clary took another look at her clothes, shrugged, and went downstairs.
When she walked into the kitchen, she saw her mom drinking coffee at the counter, and as she kept on walking she saw another person sitting drinking coffee too. It was too late. She couldn't hide from them or run back to her room because they had already spotted her. His golden eyes were smiling and she felt them scan her body. Almost immediately she crossed her arms blocking her breasts from being seen. Clary tried to ignore his prying eyes, but she could still feel his eyes staring at her and goosebumps beginning to grow on her arms.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me that Jace was here?" Clary said trying to make her voice sound normal, but Jace's snort told her that she wasn't doing a very good job.
"I told you that Jace was coming today."
Of course her mom was oblivious to it because she thought of Jace as the perfect gentlemen who came around the house whenever there was a crack on the wall or a pipe that needed to be fixed. She didn't see him exactly as her son, but she did consider him to be family. Except that Clary could never even look at him without wanting to-
Have sex with him?
"What? NO!" Clary screamed out loud not able to stop herself.
"Ok Clary. There is no need to shout." her face got red and she panicked for a second that they might have heard the first part, but if she had said that out loud then she would be be a completely different shade of red. "Also yes I did tell you that he was coming. But there has been a change of plans."
"I- I am sorry mom." she breathed in. "What's the change?"
"Luke's parents are- struggling a bit with the idea of this marriage." Clary looked at her mom confused. She sighed inwardly before answering, "They think that I will go running back to Valentine if things get complicated with Luke."
"That's ridiculous." Clary said in disbelief. "You would never go back to- to him."
"Yeah well they don't believe that. So Luke and I are going to take them both to his cabin in the lake and hopefully we can convince them that I am not some idiotic teenager anymore."
"Mom you don't need to prove yourself to those people. Luke loves you and you love him. As long as that doesn't change who cares what anyone thinks of you."
"Oh honey if only. But these people are important to the wedding. If your grandparents were still alive, I would want them in the wedding no matter how much they disapproved."
That made her stay quiet. Clary never met her grandparents from either side of her family. That was one of the things that both her parents had in common. They were both orphaned at a young age. Luke however had his parents alive and well and also very snobbish. From what her mom told her they were very rich and had even offered to pay for all of Luke's wedding as long as it was with anyone else but her mom.
"Yeah Luke's parents can be pretty intense, but they'll warm up to you." Jace said looking at Clary's mom with kind eyes.
Clary snorted and rolled her eyes at him. He was very good at being fake nice when he needed to be. Clary's mom smiled back at him not being able to see through his charade.
"What's so funny Clarissa?" Jace said his eyes turning to look at her with a smug expression. She hated that name. Jace only called her that to piss her off, and she hated it. So in exchange she called him Jonathan knowing that he hated it too.
"Nothing, Jonathan, I am just so glad to see how supportive you are." Clary said smiling at Jace with no visible kindness whatsoever.
"Clary don't be rude. Anyways while Luke and I are gone. Jace will stay here and watch over you."
"What?! I am not a child mom. Jace doesn't need to watch over me. I am sure that he is very busy and would rather be somewhere else."
"Oh I don't mind. I would love to stay here and watch over Clarissa. Wouldn't want her to get lonely." Jace said staring at her as if he had somehow won.
"Mom, can we at least talk about this in private?" Clary said looking at her mom pleadingly.
"Oh Clary-" her mom's phone started ringing and she immediately answered standing up and beginning to get her purse, "Ok honey I'll be right out. I love you." she hanged up the phone and looked at Clary with a worried glance.
"Clary, I swear it won't be longer than a week maybe two weeks." She came up and hugged her tightly only letting go for a moment to say, "I am leaving my credit card in the living room just in case of any emergencies. My car's gas tank is full." She walked towards Jace and quickly pecked his cheek before saying, "If you guys need anything, I am just a phone call away, ok?"
"Ok mom." Clary said trying to smile at her honestly.
"Clary please just try and be nice to Jace and Jace that girl means the world to me, so protect her with your life." Clary's mom waited for Jace and her to nod before she left closing the door behind her.
"Yes well I am definitely a strong believer of protection." Clary put her hands on her hips and stared at him angrily, "Speaking of protection. Are you not wearing a bra, Clarissa?" Now she was red. Her hands cupped her boobs and then she realized that this only made it look worse. She went back to crossing her arms over her boobs, but Jace was already smiling at her clearly amused at her embarrassment.
"You know that you don't actually have to stay here. I have stayed by myself before. I'll be fine." Clary said refusing to look him in the eye.
"Clarissa, I know you may think that I don't enjoy your company, but you are quite the entertaining redhead." Jace said and she wanted to scream. Then she heard her mom's voice, "just try and be nice to Jace". Clary breathed in and tried to calm herself down from all the words that she wanted to call him.
She didn't smile, but she didn't glare either, "I am going to go upstairs and change."
"Need any help with that? Wouldn't want you to forget any clothing items." Jace said and Clary surprisingly kept her cool.
"Nah, maybe another time." she said before walking out of the kitchen.
Clary quickly ran into her room and locked the door. She changed into less revealing clothes: jeans and a t-shirt, and she put on a bra before she forgot and went out there again. There was no point in going outside of her room just to be annoyed by Jace, so she stayed inside and took out her sketch pad. Clary tried to finish up a drawing that she had started a couple of days ago, but she no longer wanted to draw the demon looking creature; she wanted to draw an angel.
She started off with the outline of the wings. At first they were going to be covering the face of the angel, but as she kept on drawing someone's face kept on appearing in between the wings, and Clary tried to ignore the face. Except that this person didn't like being ignored; they were actually so full of themselves that they tried their hardest to be the center of attention. She internally sighed and decided to allow them just this once, so she drew him in.
He was holding his curling hair back and he was smirking. There was no way that she could draw him with a shirt and wings without making it look weird, so he was shirtless, and he looked good- hell, he looked amazing. The wings were as big as his torso, but they looked natural. It was as if the drawing with no wings would make it incomplete.
She stopped drawing when someone knocked on the door. Clary didn't want to have another incident, so she covered her body with her blanket and yelled, "Come in!"
"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to catch you indecent… again."
"You know what on second thought, don't come in."
"C'mon Clarissa, don't be rude." Jace said walking inside of her room.
"I will, the second you stop being annoying."
"Well now you're asking too much of me." Jace walked up to me and laid down next to her.
"My mom has very strict rules about the people who can lay down on my bed."
"Ahh don't worry your mom loves me."
"Yeah, she wouldn't love you so much if she finds out that you're on my bed. To her, all she'll think is that a heterosexual boy was laying down in the bed of her heterosexual daughter. Then she'll think that we did the thing."
"Clarissa, the word you're looking for is sex. I don't know how you struggle so hard to say it considering the many times that I am sure you have imagined us doing the thing."
Clary froze and she could feel how red her face was. It's just a joke. He doesn't actually know that you've been dreaming about him. He is only trying to mess with you. Clary reminded herself before saying,"Screw you!"
"Seems a bit sudden, but if you really want to-
"If you finish that sentence, I will murder you."
"You never change do you?"
Clary opened her mouth to say something when she heard her phone ringing, but she couldn't see it. She lifted the blanket off of her, but it wasn't there. She checked under her pillow, then she saw it on the nightstand in the opposite side of where she was, and she started to reach for it. Of course Clary completely forgot about the needy child under her who took every opportunity to annoy her. For example grabbing her by the waist and pinning her down on the bed. His hands cuffed her wrists on each side of her head, and his legs pressed her own legs together keeping her from kicking out.
"Let go of me!" Clary said but her voice wasn't as strong as she wished it would have been. The position that they were in was actually reminding her of her dream from last night.
Jace ignored her protests and kept her pinned down while he reached over and got her phone that was still ringing.
Jace's smirk turned into a frown once he saw who was calling, "Sebastian Verlac? Why the hell is he calling you?"
"That is none of your business." Clary said and struggled more against him.
"Well as your soon to be step brother. I think that I have every right to know why a douche like Verlac is calling you."
"Takes one to know one." Clary said and finally gave up struggling after the phone stopped ringing.
"Aww that's just too bad. Guess you'll just have to call him back."
"Jonathan! Why are you so annoying? Is this seriously how it's going to be until my mom gets back?"
"No, but I do want to know why Verlac is calling you."
"We're kind of going out." Clary said not really sure what her relationship with Sebastian was.
"Going out? Like on dates?"
"No, not yet, but he was probably calling to invite me to do something later." Clary said as confident as possible, but she wasn't sure herself why Sebastian was calling her. He has never asked her out on dates, but it was fine. He'll ask her out at some point.
"And when you say 'something', are you just trying to avoid saying sex again?"
"What, no?!" Clary could feel her heart pounding hard in her chest. He was on top of her with his blonde curls falling down almost shielding his face. His muscles were more visible than before which showed that he had to use strength to hold himself up. Hearing the word 'sex' come out of his mouth made Clary want to do crazy things. She wanted to run her hands through his hair and feel his muscles while they-
The phone started to ring again and whatever trance Clary had been under went away as she focused on what was actually happening between them not what she wanted to happen.
"Oh look Verlac again? At least you know he's persistent."
"Jonathan, give me the phone!"
"C'mon Clarissa you can't possible be that into him if you haven't even gone out on a date. Have you guys even kissed?"
"Yes, we have! Now, give me the phone." Jace smirked rolled off of Clary and handed her the phone.
She took it glaring at him the entire time, "Hey Sebastian. Sorry about before."
"Don't worry about it. Hey, are you home?'
"Umm yeah."
"Are your parents there with you?" Clary flinched. He didn't remember that she only lived with her mom. Unless he was talking about Luke, but Clary didn't see Luke as her father. She had her mom- Jocelyn- and she didn't need anyone else.
"Nope my mom's staying with Luke's parents for a while."
"Nice, can I come over?" Clary hesitated and looked at Jace not sure if it would be weird to tell Sebastian that Jace is here right now or if it would be weird that she felt the need to hide it. Instead, the blonde child had decided to take matters into his own hands.
Literally, by snatching the phone away from Clary and began to talk, "Hey Verlac? What's up?" Jace stood up and moved away from Clary before she could get her phone back.
"Oh me? I am good man. Hey, you doing anything tonight?" Clary jumped to her feet immediately, but she was too short to get her phone back, so she stood pouting at Jace and shooting daggers at him with her eyes.
"Just wanted to see if you're interested in a party tonight at Clary's house." Jace rarely referenced her as Clary, but no one at school called her Clarissa, so it would be weird if Jace started to.
"It was her idea, she said something about spending some alone time with some guy? Who knows man, Luke is the one who wants to marry into her family, not me." Clary noticed that Jace always called him Luke. Luke had adopted Jace, but he never called him dad. It was always Luke.
"Nah Verlac, don't worry, I got the hookup. Oh yeah I'll pass the message. Yeah man see you tonight." Jace gave the phone back to Clary, "He wants to talk to you."
Clary tooked the phone and turned around refusing to look at Jace's stupid face, "Hey Sebastian sorry about that."
"Don't worry you told me that Jace was going to start living there, so I figure he'll probably be there all the time to annoy the hell out of us." Jace and Sebastian had been friends before Clary started talking to Sebastian, so she liked that he had said, "us" as if declaring that they're the pair and Jace would be the odd one out.
"So who was the guy Jace was talking about that you wanted to spend some alone time with?"
"What? No one he was just talking stupid." Clary said and barely resisted the urge to turn around and punch Jace.
"So he couldn't even have been talking about me?"
"I thought you said that you weren't looking for a relationship?" Clary said and she could hear the annoyance in her voice.
"And if I said that I changed my mind." Sebastian said and Clary smiled involuntarily.
"Actions speak louder than words, Sebastian."
"C'mon Clary-
"Goodbye Sebastian." Clary said and giggled a little before hanging up then she remembered the Jace was behind her and regretted everything.
"Wow, you two just about make the cutest couple."
"We aren't a couple." Clary said and the annoyance was back.
"Oh but we both know that it's bound to happen. He'll probably come here tonight begging you to be with him." Jace said mockingly.
"Yeah about that. I am not going to actually throw a party. It's not really my memo."
"No, but it is mine. School starts in a week; it's tradition to throw a party before school starts."
"Well can't someone else do it. I'd like my house to stay neat." Jace took a look around Clary's room. The bed was undone, there was piles of clothes along with random pillows and color pencils all over the floor.
"You call this neat." Jace said picking up Clary's shirt from the floor that she had worn two weeks ago.
"We've been planning a wedding and trying to get accustomed to another person living in our house. Now two more persons. That means less closet space, less space for art supplies, and more clothes on the floor." Clary said and took away the shirt from Jace's hand.
"Well good thing that I am here to fix the disaster that is your house, Clarissa. Too bad that I won't have too much time since the party is tonight."
"Jonathan, for the love of- we are not throwing any parties. Not at my house ever." Clary and Jace were staring at each other, but Clary couldn't really read the tension in the room. She kept on going back and forth from they want to kill each other to they want to rip each other's clothes off.
"It's not just your house anymore. It's mine too, and I say we throw the party." Clary opened her mouth to speak but Jace continued, "Clary, I swear that I won't invite too many people and I won't let anyone go into the bedrooms."
"Did you just call me Clary?" she was too shocked to even think about the party that they were most definitely not throwing.
"And if I did?" Jace said smirking.
"Is this a once in a lifetime thing or are you finally going to start respecting me and calling me Clary always?"
"Depends on your behavior tonight." Jace said looking at Clary raising an eyebrow.
"Ok fine throw your stupid party, but only if I can invite my own friends." Jace no longer smirked.
"Let me guess, you want to invite the rat and your little band of rejects."
"Don't call them that and Simon is my best friend. Plus you just don't want me to bring Isabelle because you have history with her." They dated during Freshman year, and it turned out exactly the way both friend groups had anticipated. They were both really into each other's… appearances, but Izzy and Jace were both overly arrogant and a bit snobbish. They had really strong personalities that couldn't blend well together: they both fought over who controlled the relationship and neither one won. Now, three years later, Izzy and Jace have a silent agreement to avoid each other. Izzy comes over to Clary's house when Jace and Alec hang out. When Jace and her were partnered together for a class, they immediately switched with anyone else. There wasn't any bad blood, but there definitely wasn't any good one.
"Go ahead invite her, the rat, and the rest of your groupies. I don't care Clary. Invite Verlac and whatever other guy you're trying to bang. Just let me throw this party and don't go running to Jocelyn or Luke or anyone else, Clary, please."
Clary ignored the comment about the other guys she wanted to "bang" and said, "Maia too?
"Yes."
"And her boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"Magnus?"
"Yes."
"Simon's band?"
"Uhh Clary!"
"Smon's band?" Clary pressed on.
"Fine. Invite the stupid rat's band."
"Simon is not stupid and go ahead Jace do your party. Plus you're giving people a couple hour's notice? Is anyone even going to come?"
"Clarissa, I have been inviting people for over a week now."
"What?! A week? But you didn't even know if I was going to agree!"
"Yes, I did. You're pretty predictable Clarissa."
"Are you seriously going to start calling me Clarissa again? I thought that you said that you'd start calling me Clary?"
"I said that it depends on your behavior tonight."
"Fine, do whatever you want. I am going to the rat's- I mean Simon's house." Clary said walking away.
"You aren't even going to clean your room?"
"You're the one throwing the party. You want my room clean? Clean it." Clary said proudly walking away from Jace leaving him to only stare at her as she left.
