Chapter 2

Hello my lovelies. I hope that you enjoyed last chapter just as much as I enjoyed writing it. Which by the way was a lot!

As most of yous will know, is that I absolutely LOVE to write in Jace's POV, so be prepared for that.

Now let me leave you be. Enjoy the story. *small bow*

CLARY

I'm finally all settled into my penthouse. Now the only thing missing is me.

Today is my last day of my free spirit because tomorrow is my first day of school. I already know everything that they have to teach so the point in me going is just to look like a normal teen. But considering the fact that I'm only 17 (one week till I'm 18), and own my own penthouse with no roommates, kind of takes the normal out of normal.

Today I have planned nothing but to stay at home, and binge watch Supernatural. At least that is what I had planned, but then I noticed that I am completely out of ice cream.

I grab the keys to by bike, and make my way out of the penthouse dressed in all black, sweatpants, a tank top covered by a hoodie, and a pair of uggs. I pull the hoodie up to cover my bright red hair.

I am now in the elevator, but since I live all the way up on the top floor, when someone else wants to go down the elevator stops. In this case that is exactly what happened.

The person that steps in is a tall, well built, muscular, golden blonde haired man. He notices me immediately. My instincts tell me to avoid all contact and conversation, but then I remember that I am supposed to be a giddy normal teen age girl, and they don't usually avoid a gorgeous young man. Especially when you are both now trapped in an elevator.

"Hi. I'm Jace Herondale. I don't think I've seen you in this building before."

"Hello. And no of course you haven't. I'm new here. I just moved in about a week ago"

"Ahh. Well that explains it. Well it may be late, but welcome to the building."

"Why thank you."

"If you ever need any help I live on the second to the top floor in room A. Just knock if you need anything."

"Thank you. And I might actually take you up on that offer. I'm still getting used to this place. I've even got lost in my house. I accidentally made a wrong turn, and I somehow ended up in the kitchen instead of my bedroom." That got a laugh out of Jace, and I had to say, it was the best and most beautiful laugh I have ever heard. But in my line of work I haven't really heard much laughter.

"Well it looks like this is our stop m' lady." he said while taking a small bow.

I couldn't help but giggle. "It looks that way kind sir." I say while taking a small bow of my own. We both burst out laughing.

Once we both stop our incessant laughter we look into each other's eyes. I can't help but get lost in them. I ended up getting butterflies in my stomach. I had this weird feeling that I have never felt before.

I don't know how long we stood there trapped in each other's eyes, and I don't know what it was, but I somehow managed to pull our gazes apart.

"I...I'm sorry. I..I have go." I stammered for some unknown reason.

"Y...yeah. Me t...too." He also stammered for an unknown reason.

We both parted our ways, but something was calling, and dragging me to him. It took everything I had to not give in, but somehow I managed to fight it.

Before I knew it, I was in the the parking garage. I made my way to my bike, and settled in. As soon as I had my helmet on my head and my keys in the ignition, I made my way to the supermarket to get my mint chocolate chip ice cream. But the entire way there I couldn't get Jace out of my head. Even when I was watching Supernatural! Supernatural!

I ended up dozing off on my couch while watching Supernatural (more like Supernatural just playing in the background while I thought of Jace.

The last word to escape my mouth before I fell asleep on my couch was…

"Jace."

Dun dun dunnn.

Well it looks like Clary is already falling for Jace.

But, I wonder why Jace was also stuttering. I wonder what he thought about Clary.

Who knows?

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I will update soon. Promise.

Chapter question:

If you could go anywhere around the world, where would you go, and why?

I would go to Scotland, (I'm an artist, and Scotland has one of the best sceneries in the world. I would give anything to just be able to paint a landscape of Scotland while I am on it's soil.)
