Chapter 1
CPOV
I walked into the hotel bar by myself in a strapless green dress that flowed to about two inches above my knees and had a sweetheart neck line that showed some cleavage while still being modest. It hugged all of my curves but was loose enough to be considered classy not slutty. The dress was slightly short on my five foot two inches but made my green eyes pop and my red hair stand out.
I strolled to the bar and found an empty seat. I sat down and ordered a shot when the bartender came.
This week had completely sucked. I had just inherited my fathers book shop and already the work load was huge. I had to fill out sheets and forms considering I was the new owner. Since it was my dads I kept the shops name the way it was Frays, which was my last name.
Yes my name is Clarissa Fray, Clary for short, and I am twenty seven. New owner of a book store and out of a serious relationship.
See I was dating Sebastian Verlac a guy I used to date back in high school. We met up one day and decided to go out for coffee one thing led to another and pretty soon I was waking up next to him. That went on for about a year until I found out he was seeing Aline, his ex girlfriend, behind my back. As you can imagine that did not go over so well.
It was a pretty nasty break up with things thrown, tears shed, and all that jazz. That was when my best friend Isabelle decided I was in need of a trip to the one place I could get wasted enough to forget all the shit that happened. Vegas. So we left New York City, the greatest city in the world to come to this place, Vegas the greatest city to lose yourself.
I was sitting in the bar by myself because Izzy and Simon started to get a little busy next door. Simon has been my best friend since diapers and when I introduced him to my collage best friend, Isabelle, they instantly hit it off and have been together ever since so for about eight or nine years now. They tied the knot three years ago and now they have a little two year old named Max. he is adorable and is at grandma and grandpa Lightwood's house while we are in Vegas.
Simon and Izzy eventually came down but they went straight to the dance floor. By than I had had five shots and some other yummy fruity drinks that I couldn't remember the name of.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone sit in the empty bar stool next to me. It was a man with very fair blond hair wearing a blue button down shirt rolled up to the elbows and dark blue jeans. The bar tender put my newest fruity drink in front of me with a wink. I picked it up and started to sip it when a musical voice interrupted me.
"Clary? Clary Fray?" the voice said surprising me. Somehow the voice sounded familiar even though their words were a little slurred.
I turned around to find myself staring into two golden orbs. The most beautiful eyes I had ever seen.
"Jace Wayland?" I asked back my voice slurring a little bit as well.
Before I even knew what was happening I was hugging the man next to me.
"god it's been what four years?" I asked smiling brightly at him.
"yeah how are you? You look amazing." he said while eyeing me up and down and smiling approvingly.
"I'm good thanks. You?" I said the alcohol giving me confidence so I didn't even blush.
"well that's good, I'm good as well." he said while ordering two shots.
When they came he passed one over to me.
"to old friends!" he said raising his shot glass.
"cheers!" I giggled hitting my glass against him and than throwing it back.
The vodka burned my throat on the way down but not in a painful way. In a good way that made my whole body feel numb.
"would you like to dance?" he asked. And before I could reply he was dragging me from my seat onto the dance floor.
He put his hands on my waist and turned me so my back was against his front. We than started to sway together to the music as a fast upbeat song came on.
I started to get more into and I began to grind my ass back into him as he moved his hands so one was wrapped around my stomach and the other was going up and down my body. Normally I was not a huge fan of PDA especially being friends with Simon and Izzy but at this moment in time I couldn't care less. Before I knew what was happening he was spinning me around and grabbed my face between his large slim hands and crashed his mouth against my own.

I wake up to knocking on the door and groan. I throw the covers off me and realize I am completely nude. With out even wondering why I pick up the closest clothing which happens to be a silk robe and walk to the door. I throw the door open to reveal Isabelle.
She pushes past me into the room and I just collapse back onto my bed.
I turn my head so I am laying on my cheek when she gasps softly. Her hand is covering her mouth as she looks at me like I'm an alien.
"what?" I ask tiredly.
She doesn't answer at first. She just points to my hand with a shaky finger. "what is that?" she is finally able to rasp out.
I look at my hand and my eyes bulge out of their sockets while I let out a girly scream. "what the FUCK!?" I screech at the top of my lungs.
On my left hand was a cheap ass casino ring, the type they sell at chapels for cheap.
I heard the toilet flush and froze in my spot on the bed looking up slowly at Isabelle who seemed to be frozen as well.
The bathroom door opened and a guy in only a towel walked out. When I saw his face I paled instantly. How could I let this happen?! I was married to... Sebastian!
I woke up screaming from that terrifying night mare thankful that it was just that, a night mare.
After I finished screaming I realized someone was knocking on my door. Trying to get past the weird sense of that this had all been familiar and trying to forget about my night mare I got up to answer the door. The first thing I realized was that I was not naked. I was in a long sleeve blue button down shirt and underwear but it was better than being naked. The second thing I realized is that I was wearing a boys shirt and I was pretty sure I didn't have any of Sebastian or Simon's shirts.
I opened the door to reveal Isabelle in black skinny jeans and a red spaghetti string tang top and red flats with her black hair put up in a messy bun. She looked gorgeous like always and I instantly looked down at my attire which consisted of some guys shirt, underwear, and hair that looked like I had just crawled out of bed.
She looked at my clothes as well and smirked. "looks like someone had a fun time last night." she said wiggling her eyebrows at me while stepping into my room.
I closed the door and flung myself onto the bed so I was lying on my back. "please I don't even remember last nigh and I had the worst dream ever." I said.
That seemed to pique her interest. "what about?"
"I dreamed that I woke up married next to," I shuddered just thinking it, "Sebastian." I finished.
She smirked at me while giving me a once over again. "well there's no ring on your finger so I'd say you're safe." she winked at me while I just rolled my eyes at her. I couldn't help the relief that instantly shot through my body though.
Suddenly we heard a noise coming from the bathroom. I didn't notice that the shower was running until I heard whoever was in there turn it off.
Isabelle and I exchanged worried glances before focusing on the door where a guy in only a towel came out.
This man was different from the one in my dream though. For one he had blond hair and golden eyes not brown hair and almost black eyes. And he had a body to die for.
When he spoke his first words I thought I might honestly die though. And not because of how mesmerizing his voice was either, because of what he said.
"hey baby you left this by the sink. You should be more careful you don't want to loose this." he said handing me the same exact ring from my dream while smiling a dazzling smile at me.
Only this time I didn't wake up and I didn't scream.
I froze.
He walked over to me and placed the ring on my finder while I stared at him in horror. When I turned around so I was facing Isabelle I saw she was looking at him in wonder, shock, and annoyingly enough some slight amusement.
"hey Isabelle great to see you again." he said addressing her for the first time.
She recovered fast from her state of shock and smiled at him.
"long time no see boss." she smiled at him and he let out a small laugh.
"please I haven't been your boss for four years." he said still chuckling lightly.
"what are you doing here?" I whispered ending there conversation. I was still hoping I would wake up from this night mare I was having once again.
"don't you remember baby?" he asked and upon seeing my bewildered expression he sighed but it was quickly replaced with a grin that reached his gorgeous golden eyes. "we're married!" he said happily and that was all it took for all my fears to be confirmed.
And with that last thought I blacked out, ruining any chances of this being nothing but a dream.
A/N: hey guys what do you think?! Sorry if this chapter sucked. I took the dream scene from a television show that I am basing this story line off of. If anyone knows the television show and tells me it in a review I will mention them in the authors note next chapter at the beginning of the chapter! It isn't the plot line of the whole television show but it happens in it! Anyway I'm a twilight fan and those were the only fanfic stories I read until I started reading the mortal instrument ones. I realized there were no vegas stories and I was completely shocked considering there are so many in the twilight category. So I decided to start this story! I hope you all like it! Sorry for any mistakes, I posted it right after I wrote it! Read and review please! Thanks :)
