I need a beta :l
And I own absolutely nothing here (:
Kelsey's voice rang out from the intercom. "Mr Lightwood, the girls are here for the interview."
"Bring 'em in, Kelsey."
Jace's secretary, Kelsey, strutted in, leading three rather... naked ladies into his office. Jace chuckled. He'd never get tired of this. Even though if he was hardly ever aroused lately; being exposed to this industry for several years now.
"Miss.. uhm, Ginger Joy?" He tried not to laugh, but he really couldn't hold back a grin.
Ginger beamed at him as he studied her; Strawberry blonde, too small breasts and too big of an ass. Hmm... People wouldn't like that very much, a sad mismatch that probably needs to get a new name that isn't made up from a cookbook.
He crossed her name out of the list.
"Miss Aline Penhallow?" He looked up to study her as well. She looked a little bit too young. "How old are you?"
"I'm eighteen, seriously! I have proof."
He raised an eyebrow.
"Well..." She squirmed a little. "Well, okay, maybe I'm a year or two younger..."
Jace sighed, and crossed her out of the list as well.
He moved on to the last girl. She had long blond hair and rather small brown eyes. Adequate, he reasoned. Not that bad.
"Alright then. Leah?"
"Yeah?"
"Let's see what you got."
"No problem, sir." She winked at him, then began.
He got out of his office but didn't see Kelsey anywhere. She must have went out for lunch.
Jace went down to the lobby where he usually met up with his siblings for lunch. But the only dark haired Lightwood he found lazing on the couch was Alec.
"Where did Izzy go to?"
"She saw someone and just ran out. And since you took your sweet time doing Angel knows what with all the ladies up there..."
"Alright, whatever. I'm starving, so let's?"
They walked to Taki's, a local restaurant situated conveniently right opposite the company building.
Jace chose to sit outside this time, since the Angel's were so kind for the lovely weather today. Alec went in to place their orders. Bored, Jace started to play with a quarter, flipping it with his knuckles while checking out the constant busy traffic of New York City.
Alec returned, placing the tray onto the wooden outdoor table and startling Jace. The younger boy jumped from his seat, the quarter he was flipping bounced off, then rolling all the way down a good metre away.
"Damn it, Alec! Look what you made me do!"
"Oh sure, he only has a big fat company and earns millions each month. Oh, Of course 25 cents matter..." He heard Alec mutter as he stood up to track down his coin.
He crouched down to pick it up when he finally managed to hunt it down. As he laid his fingers on the coin, he felt his finger being stepped on and yelped at the rough surface happily scraping his skin. "Ouch! Hey, there's a man down here!"
There was a soft gasp and in a matter of seconds, his finger was free again. He frowned and pocketed the cursed quarter into his pocket. "Geez, look down ne-
His eyes widened when he met a familiar pair of green eyes staring down at him "What, in the world are you doing down there, Jace?" Izzy laughed. "I mean, if you wanted to get a good view down there, you might as well have stayed in the office." Izzy was beside the other girl, but he ignored her.
"Wayland?" The redhead spoke. She started to laugh.
Jace huffed and quickly got on his feet, content with his current height. It wasn't exactly a nice experience to be literally looked down upon. "Actually, I go by Lightwood now."
He dusted his hands on his suit. "Oy! That's Brioni you're wearing!" Izzy frowned.
He ignored her. "And you would be..?" There was something about her pretty green eyes and exquisite red hair that made him think he somehow knew this petite little girl.
"That's Clary, remember her Jace? You nearly broke her finger when we were eleven!"
"Fray?" Well, anyone noticed how ironic it was, since she nearly broke his finger 5 seconds ago?
She stood there, smiling at him wearily. Her white sundress matched her complexion perfectly, her red hair almost like he remembered, but looked better now, no longer wild but soft and perfect, flowing down like a waterfall of red, ending shy at the tops-
He blinked. "Wow, redhead, you clean up good."
She smiled.
"But you're still short, though."
Izzy whacked him with one of her many bags. Sadly, she chose the heaviest one.
Clary laughed.
"So how are things with you? I heard you and Lewis hooked up after he turned."
"We broke it off. Figured we were better friends."
"OW!" Alec yelled suddenly. "Angel, Izzy, you got the wrong brother!"
Isabelle muttered a 'sorry' and in less than a second stomped on Jace's foot. "OOF!"
"Why are you so violent, woman?" He hissed.
Izzy glared at him. "You don't just bring up people's issues at the start of a conversation!"
"Sue me, then! I didn't know!"
"Uhm... what about you guys? What's been up lately?"
"Work," All three said at the same time. They didn't think she'd appreciate it much when they'd add '… in the porn industry."
"Oh! Really? Slayed many demons lately?"
"Uhm..." Izzy squirmed in her seat.
"Actually, we work at Kinky Productions..." Jace said, quickly gulping down his coffee.
"I'm going to get a refill," Izzy announced, grabbing her empty cup of soda.
"Yeah, me too." Alec said. He looked down at his coffee-filled styrofoam cup, frowned and grabbed Jace's empty one instead.
Was that really necessary?
Clary's eyes were wide as she processed that little bit of information. She studied Jace's well-built body with wide eyes. "So you train … for... you... but... demons?" She squeaked.
She got the wrong idea. Was he insane for laughing at this? "I mean, we still hunt now and then, but I own the company, Alec's the vice president and Izzy is the editor over there. We hardly do the modeling."
He winked at 'hardly'.
"Oh!" She chuckled, a little bit flustered at the idea. "Well, isn't that interesting. A suitable job for you, I must say."
"Definitely." He admitted. Glad she understood and didn't go running down the street shouting 'The best shadowhunter's I trained with are real perverts!'. "What with the movies, the girls, magazines, shows... stuff."
He gave her a sly grin.
Very suddenly, her eyes went wide again. She stood up, glancing down at her watch. "Oh, shoot! I have to go. There's a job interview for me in fifteen minutes. Sometimes I just wish I could draw a portal there or something..."
She gathered her stuff and slid on a pair of sunglasses. "Here, take my number, we'll keep in touch." She started scribbling numbers on a napkin.
Jace smiled and handed her his own business card.
"Well, nice talking to you. I hope Izzy enjoyed her coffee."
She turned on her heels and walked down the road before Jace could say a single thing.
He munched on his sandwhich as he stared at her back.
Sexy and classy.
He wouldn't mind having her on board.
Right, haha. So I started on another new fic. Please don't slaughter me?
Exams are over now, so I can at least hurry with a draft for Jace's First and Model Much.
The gang and all are still Shadowhunters, but I always wondered how the Clave pays them. Do they pay in USD or some Idris currency? Or do they even get paid at all? So I figured other than demon hunting, they could get other even more... entertaining jobs ;)
Oh, and could recommend a good name for Jace's company? I can't think of any good ones... Thanks !
