Clary's POV
Jace and I headed up the stairs and we entered into a bedroom that was white on all of the walls, and no dirt or dust pretty much anywhere. I turned towards Jace and he was smiling, while looking at everything.
"This was my old room," he said and I smiled back.
"You have nothing on any of the walls, what is your problem?" He laughed and we sat down, along with everyone else who was on the floor. I was in between Izzy and Jace.
"Alright before we do anything I want to give Jace a proper introduction on everyone." The circle nodded so I continued. "Okay, whom should I start with?" I looked around and Izzy was waving her hand frantically. I laughed and said okay.
"Jace, Izzy. Izzy, Jace." Izzy waved obnoxiously, and Jace did the same back. Alec and Magnus started laughing. "Her favorite color is black, she shops 'til she drops, and is now dating Simon Lewis who, praise the gods, opened his eyes, stopped eye fucking her, and realized they were meant to be." Izzy shoved me, while Simon blushed into his lap, and everyone smirked and nodded knowingly.
"Nice to meet you Izzy." Jace said and Izzy smiled.
"Alright Alec, this is Jace." They both waved. "Alec is a year older, so your age Jace, a second degree black belt, and beat up my high school boyfriend, Christian, for cheating on me." Jace laughed.
"Bastard had it coming." Alec mumbled, and Simon and Izzy laughed.
"I never liked the guy," Izzy stated and Simon and Seb nodded. I sighed.
"Well, I gave up on him after that, and dating in general, so thanks Alec. He deserved it." He raised his beer bottle then took a sip, which cause me to giggle.
"Seb this is Jace. Jace, Seb..." I paused, trying to figure out how I would phrase his fuckboyness, and then realized I'll just get straight to the point. "Seb fucks everything with boobs and an ass." Everyone laughed and nodded, because it was true. Sebastian smirked and raised his red solo cup, filled probably with some type of alcohol.
"I will not deny the true." Jace laughed and I smiled at him.
"Simon Lewis." Jace nodded and I continued. "Currently dating Izzy, which I learned without a call from either party, until Izzy told me today." I glared at Izzy, and she smiled a big, toothy smile back. "He loves video games, Izzy, and don't get used to his outfit right now, because it usually consists of gamer t-shirts, and jeans or shorts." Simon smiled at me and I returned it.
"Magnus… Bane, I think?" Magnus nodded back. "I haven't even known him a day, and I already love him." Magnus smiled and fake crying.
"You're going to make me ruin my make-up here, girl." Izzy and I laughed along with him.
I blew out some air, and looked at everyone realizing I was done. I smiled at everyone, and then looked at Jace, who happened to be looking at me.
"Think you know everyone some what?" Jace smirked and nodded.
"Wait! I want to do Clary!" Izzy yelled and Jace looked at me. I hid my face in my hands as Jace said, "Well we already had a pretty long conversation on our plane ride, but please, be thorough." I looked up at Izzy, and begged her not to say anything embarrassing, but knowing Izzy, something was bound to happen. She had a knack for doing it.
Izzy smirked over in Jace's direction and then cleared her throat over dramatically. I blushed as she started.
"Clarissa Adele Fray is 22 years old, turning 23 on January 7th, loves the colors orange and blue, and is an artist." She smiled over at me, and I thought it was done but she continued. "Clary is also very single and loves a guy who can take charge, but be sweet and protective when necessary." I blushed and couldn't look at anyone but her for a solid 20 seconds.
Sebastian spoke up and broke the silence. "Well great to know your still single Clare-Bear." I smiled while everyone laughed except for Jace.
I looked over and him and he were showing the most obnoxious goddamn smirk. He leaned in and whispered in my ear, "I'll have you know I can fit into all of those qualities. Especially taking charge." My face was probably the color of my hair when Jace pulled back. He winked and I felt my heart drop. He was being to fucking sexy for his own good. My mind went in a hundred different places. The first thought being taking charge by him in the bedroom. I know it's probably bad to have thoughts about someone like after only knowing him for half a day, but I couldn't help it. Every time I stared at him, I wanted to just have him take me. He was just a walking sex bomb that I wanted to explode on top of me.
Izzy, who started taking about a game, pulled me out of the thought of Jace undressing me, which made my cheeks heat up when I looked over at him.
"Okay. We're playing true or dare." Everyone perked up as Izzy started with the rules. "You have to answer what you're asked, and if you don't, then you have to take off a piece of clothing." Sebastian smirked as he stated his fact.
"Shoes and socks don't count, so everyone can just take those off now." Everyone shot him a glare, and Simon laughed.
"Why Seb? Do you have a foot fetish you would like to share with the group?" Simon asked and everyone laughed, but we complied, seeing there was no reason not to.
I took off my heels and once I did, I moaned quietly, because those shoes hurt big time. I ran around an entire airport!
Jace groaned and I looked over at him.
"I never thought a moan could sound so fucking sexy." I blushed and smiled down in my lap. Jace closed his eyes then opened them. I continued rubbing my feet and Izzy started the game.
"Alright, Clary truth or dare?" She asked.
"Truth," I answered and Sebastian sighed.
"Party pooper." I stuck my tongue out at him and he smirked. Again.
"What do you look for in a guy?" Izzy shot me one of her evil smiles. Tip for being friends with that girl: if you don't like to be embarrassed by stating one fact, such as you find a guy attractive don't cross her path.
I sighed and looked around the room, where everyone was staring at me. "Um. Well what you said on your little opener for me. Those qualities, confidence but not overboard so it comes out arrogant, which is why I would never date Sebastian." I looked over at him and he smiled.
"Feelings mutual, girlfriend." Seb pretended to flip his hair, and Izzy and Simon laughed.
I continued with my description. "He needs to make me feel complete. Like there was an emptiness inside me that was filled because of that one person." I smiled at Izzy who smiled back. Everyone stared at me and Jace was smiling at me. Guess he liked my little speech.
I looked around. "Alright. Magnus, truth or dare?" He smiled and perked up.
"Dare honey. Give me your best shot." I smiled over at Alec.
"Give Alec a hickey." Alec's cheeks lit up and Magnus's eyes smiled. Alec has never liked being the center of attention and never liked seeing people in public be affectionate. He once walked in on me kissing Christian and couldn't look at me for three days.
Magnus got up and sucked his neck, leaving a big dark red mark. Magnus looked satisfied when he sat back down, and everyone smiled at Alec's look of embarrassment.
Magnus's eyes landed on Sebastian. "Sebastian truth or dare?"
"Dare me glitter pants." He smirked and Magnus answered.
"I dare you to French kiss Izzy." I laughed as Seb's face lit up in horror and he quickly took of his shirt. Izzy exhaled, probably dreading it too. Neither one of us would ever kiss Sebastian. He can't be serious for more than 0 seconds.
"Sorry Iz. I would French kiss many others, but with you it would be like kissing my sister, and I don't roll that way."
I cringed.
Once he said that I immediately thought about Jace. I would never want to feel like he was kissing his sister. I hope he doesn't feel that way.
Clary, he probably doesn't even like you like that. You've known him not even one day. I internally groaned at my subconscious.
Izzy looked relieved. "If I was a horny homeless women on the side of the rode, and you were the only guy left on the earth, I wouldn't kiss you even then." Sebastian smirked.
"Glad to know our feelings are mutual." I laughed.
Sebastian's eyes landed on Jace and Jace's eyes challenged him.
"Goldie Locks. Truth or dare?"
Jace smiled and effortlessly said, "Dare."
Sebastian pulled out hot sauce and a spoon from god knows where, and held them out. What the fuck? "Eat a spoonful of hot sauce." Jace looked terrified as he shook his head, and took off his shirt.
"If I eat a sour patch kid, my mouth feels like it's on fire." Everyone laughed but me. I was too busy staring at Jace's abs. I was right about the rock hard abs. They looked like Michelangelo sculpted them out of stone and I just wanted to run my hands across them, then maybe go a little lower.
Jace looked over at me while Izzy was explaining something to Sebastian, I was too distracted to hear. He smirked and whispered so only I heard it.
"Like the view, little red?" I smiled and nodded, not embarrassed to hide my emotions. He laughed and I decided then that he was a little too cocky for his own good.
We continued the game for a little while longer until everyone was called down for dinner. The day went by so fast. I walked downstairs and Izzy ran up to me. She had worried eyes and when I was about to asked what was wrong, my eyes were met with the problem.
Maia fucking Roberts.
You know that one person who single handedly ruined your life in high school. That was Maia for me. She was the one who Christian cheated with at a party, which he happened to be really drunk at. Apparently she seduced him into thinking that I didn't like him anymore so he got really angry and fucked her.
My mom is really good friends with her mom and I never told her what happened with Christian and Maia, so Mrs. Roberts and her never lost touch. I told her I didn't like Christian as much anymore and didn't want to date him, or anyone after that for the matter. Maia and her mom were invited to the wedding, but I could avoid them because there were a lot of people there. Apparently, though, they never stopped being friends.
"Oh my god, Clary?" Maia shot me a smile and I returned a fake one. "You look great Clary!"
My fake smile was still on. "I wish I could say the same!" Her mood changed from fake happy to real sad, and I mentally high fived myself.
"Well anyway," Maia started, changing the subject. "Have you seen the guy, Jace, I think it is? He's so hot," She gushed and anger coursed through my veins at the thought of her liking Jace like that.
"Yeah, he is. I think that he's more into the real type of girl though. Fake isn't really any guys type these days." I smiled and Maia faked laughed. I so badly wanted to slap her in the face.
"How are you though?" She asked. And all I thought was is this bitch for real? I looked over at Izzy and she was staring at me, from where she was pretending to be in a conversation with Alec.
"Well, let's see, I have a job, a great family, and a boyfriend, oh wait, no I don't." My eyes turned angry. "You fucked my only one." I spit out and Maia looked at me with fake sympathy.
"Clary. I want to put our past behind us. I mean, I don't really think Christian liked you that much anyway. He just wanted someone to love him in the bedroom." I squinted at her while her fakeness just shined through.
"Wow, actually, I take back what I said. You look great. You probably burn a bunch of calories from jumping to conclusions like that," I hissed and she started to look angry and I smiled. This time, my smile was from real pleasure. "You ruined my last year of high school for me, and all your little side bitches helped out. No matter how much our parents like each other, we will never be real friends." I spit out the last part and walked away to my designated spot at the table.
Everyone got his or her food, which was my mom's special dish of baked ziti, and sat down. I sat next to Jace and Izzy again. Sebastian started the table on a discussion about his new watch, which everyone got so into. I started talking to Izzy about my conversation with Maia. She was on the other side of Jace so we talked quietly.
"She said that?" Izzy whisper yelled.
"Yeah! And she said he just 'wanted a lover in the bedroom too' or something like that." Izzy's eyes turned murderous.
"That bitch!"
"I know and-" Maia starting to talk to Jace, cutting me off, since I didn't want her our conversation.
"So Jace. Your Stephen's son?" She twirled her hair and I was ready to punch the wall. Or her.
"Um yeah. I'm here for about three months. I told my boss that I hadn't seen my dad in a while, and that I skipped his wedding so I wanted to spend some time with him and his new family." Jace looked over at me and I smiled.
"That is so sweet!" Maia gushed, her boobs falling out of a top that was barely there. Jace nodded, then went back to his food.
I tuned out the rest of dinner but it was kind of hard with Maia laughing like an animal. Izzy was rubbing my arm, probably seeing that I was about to claw out her eyes. I'm not the best person to get mad.
Everyone soon left after dinner. I said bye to everyone and before Izzy left she pulled me into the kitchen.
"I was ready to punch her for you!" I nodded while steam was basically coming out of my ears.
"Whatever. She's a bitch. And she told me she likes Jace. What if Jace likes her back?" I rambled on a little worried.
"Clare. You need to stop. He was staring at you like you were water and he's been in a desert for like, 80 years." I laughed, and Izzy continued. "But seriously just go for it. He seems to really like you already. Plus, no guy will ever like Maia for more than her ass and sex." She winked and walked away, while I shouted thank you.
I walked back into the living room to see that Jace was already in his pajamas sprawled out on the couch. He was wearing sweat pants and a black tight tank top. It annoyed me he didn't even have to try and look sexy, yet he did with an A+. I smiled to myself and sat on his legs, which caused Jace to groan out in pain, and I laughed.
"Once again, you find my pain amusing." I smirked and grab a pillow and hugged it to my chest. Jace stared at me for a minute then turned off the TV.
"I want to say that you looked really hot when you were angry, but that whole thing with Maia seemed like much more." I sighed thinking about it and Jace was looking at me when I looked back up at him.
"You want to tell me about it?" He asked and I smiled and nodded; seeming there was nothing to lose.
"She was the reason I broke up with Christian, my only boyfriend from high school. She fucked him and seduced him into thinking I didn't like him anymore and didn't want to have sex with him. So he fucked her. Christian came and tried to make me forgive him, since it was obviously false. I thought I loved him at the time but I realized that I didn't after that. Maia didn't even apologize. All through senior year after I dumped his ass, while Alec kicked it, she just tormented me and called me a bunch of different things. Because of her, I haven't had a boyfriend since. I never liked her and I never will."
Jace looked at me with pure sympathy as he spoke, while placing a hand on my arm. I looked down at his delicate, but rough fingers, feeling the electricity they gave off. "I'm really sorry," he finally spoke.
I sighed into my lap then looked at him and said, "It's okay. He wasn't that great of a boyfriend anyway." This made Jace smirk.
I started laughing. "She said she thought you were hot." Jace looked as me, his face not changing when I stated that.
"Okay. That's great." He shrugged and I looked back at him stunned.
"Do you like her? Or like… find her hot?" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me and he shook his head, and then laughed.
"She's as fake as Magnus's hair color." It was my turn to laugh. I smiled as he continued to speak, "I would never date someone like her. She is all about sex and not about true emotions." Jace's eyes poured into mine. "I would want a real relationship." I smiled genuinely at the thought of him and I. Could I see a real relationship with him?
Abso-fucking-lutly you can Clary! You've been practically eye fucking him the whole day.
"I'm glad you can see through her. Most people didn't back in high school."
He looked at me like I was crazy "How can you not?" I laughed.
"Thanks for making me feel better. I really appreciate it."
Jace smiled back at me. "No problem. You looked really angry during dinner. I wanted to make sure you were okay." Hearing that made me so happy.
Being honest, I was really scared about meeting Jace. Someone who missed his or her own father's wedding had to be an asshole, but maybe he had a good reason other than work. I'll ask him about that later.
I really hope Jace and I can become more than friends, because I couldn't stand being as sexually frustrated as Izzy and Simon for that long. If my feelings were still intact soon, I would tell him straight on.
"Is it safe to say now that I thought you looked really sexy angry?" I smiled and winked at Jace, which made him laugh.
Jace turned back on the TV, and we started watching some random reality show, that I wasn't paying attention to. I remembered earlier about the whole brother sister thing, and I knew I wanted to talk to him about it. Now was as good of a time as any.
I tapped him on the shoulder, which made him turn towards me. "Can I ask you something?" I asked.
Jace smiled. "Depends on what it is, little red." He raised his eyebrows at I smiled at his nickname for me.
"Can you not call me your stepsister? Even though I haven't known you for that long, I feel like we aren't… I don't know… just brother and sister. I mean-"
"You feel like that too?" He cut me off and stared at him while nodding, looking at him with happiness, now knowing that he felt the same way.
"Sure." He spoke and my heart did a flip. He smirked as he continued. "I wasn't going to anyway. When you called me that in the airport, I felt this strangeness go through me and-" I nodded, knowing the exact same feeling. "It's probably because I would never picture you as my sister," Jace whispered and my ear perked up, hearing this.
I slid closer and put my hand on his thigh. Jace stiffed as I spoke, looking down. "And how would you picture me, Mr. Herondale?" I whispered seductively. Jace groaned and I squeezed his thigh a little, which made another tent in his manhood, and another loud groan come out of his throat. This was too funny.
Jace didn't answer for a few seconds, but then mustered up to say, "I would answer, but I'm not in the state of mind to answer correctly." I laughed as I pulled away and returned to my original spot on the couch and Jace glared at me.
"You really love frustrating men, don't you?" I felt a tear from laughter roll down my cheek and wiped it off and he nudged me, which I returned.
"I have a question," I finally said after breaking the silence that was there for a few seconds. Jace nodded for me to continue, so I did.
"Would you fancy getting breakfast tomorrow, at a place called Taki's up the road?" Jace smirked hearing this and I don't even want to know what he was thinking.
"My, my, my, Mrs. Fray. Is this a date you're asking me on?" The corners of my mouth slide up, as I thought about my answer.
"Depends. Usually men are the ones to ask for the first date, so I think that might be your job for the future."
"Touché, little red, touché." I laughed and he smiled back at me.
"Are you in though?" I asked and he nodded.
"Who would I be to pass up a chance at alone time with a gorgeous girl?" Jace winked and got up from the couch. His face came close to mine, so close I could smell his breaths, which smelled like mint and his scent. I swallowed the lump that was in my throat, but it didn't help the butterflies in my stomach.
"I'm going to go to sleep. Night, little red." And with that he walked away.
