Clary POV:
I spent the night at Jace's that night. We slept in the same bed, but it felt different after our kiss. It wasn't as innocent or simple as before.
For the first time in my life, I woke up to warm arms being wrapped around me. The smell of Jace and coffee. I loved every second of it.
"Morning Midge," Jace greeted me as he pulled away from me. He stood up in his boxers and walked to go make breakfast. I stood up in my own boxers and one of his old dress shirts- my shirts just weren't as comfortable.
I sat on his bar stool watching as he started making pancakes and bacon. It smelled amazing. I could get used to this. "Why are you making me breakfast? You never make me breakfast," I said before I could stop myself.
"I always make breakfast for my lady friends the morning after," Jace said with a wink.
"The morning after watching every season of glee on Netflix? That certainly calls for breakfast," I snorted. He always made comments about me sleeping with him, but it was never going to happen.
"So what's your real reason for making me breakfast?"
"It's a thank you for saving me from all of those crazy horny girls at our school. I mean how low do you have to be to blatantly ask a man for sex?" He asked with disgust on his face. "I understand if two people are dating or in love, but not hooking up."
"You only hooked up with Aline."
"Yeah, but I thought I was in love with her. I realize now that she was just more exciting than my hand," I bursted out laughing, spitting water all across the table.
He patted my back while laughing with me. Jace never failed to make me laugh.
Suddenly there's a knock on the door. Jace was busy cooking bacon so I went to open it myself. The door opened to see a shocked Isabelle.
"Please tell me I didn't just walk in on the morning after? I'll have to go throw up." I decided to mess with her.
I took my right hand and raked it through my crazy, red curls. I yawned before looking her dead in the eye. "You should have called first. If you need your brother. . . well lets just say he's really tired." With a wink I burst out laughing.
"You should have seen your face! You looked like I killed your puppy!" She glared at me and shoved me aside to get into the room.
"Jace! Where are you!" She walked into the kitchen to see her half naked brother cooking breakfast and out right laughed. "She has you so whipped, it's not even funny!" She high fived me as we laughed at him.
"Well she does use a whip, but not in the way you're thinking," Jace chuckled at his sister's horrified face.
"I have to go get ready for the shoot, will you drive me Jace?" He held up a finger while he swallowed his food.
"I have a shoot at the same place, so I'll just go with you."
"All right, I call first shower!" I yelled and ran to the bathroom before he could get there. "See you later Isabelle!" I yelled over my shoulder. I quickly got dressed and ready before leaving with Jace.
We walked into the agency holding hands. The receptionist smiled at us before telling us we were just down the hall. We ended up being on the same shoot, which is weird seeing as we never have been booked together.
"Jace Wayland and Clary Fray?" We nodded politely at the man who looked to be the director of the show. "Right this way please," He turned on his heel and walked down a hall.
We followed him until we came to a large room full of outfits. "We are getting your swimsuits here before going to the beach for the shoot." We stared at him both being confused. "What?" He finally asked.
"Are we on this shoot together?" Jace asked him.
"Well of course, you two are our most promising young models. Especially since the news of your relationship hit twitter. All your fans want a shoot of you two together."
"Our relationship is on Twitter?" I yelled loud enough for many people to turn and look at us. "Shit!"
"Yes a girl named Aline Penhallow posted a picture of you two kissing that has been all the buzz in the modeling community." He smiled and I knew he thought he was a genius.
"All right let's get started then."
We spent the rest of the morning in the studio getting wardrobe. We luckily didn't have school today because of a catch up day for teachers.
The photographer walked up to us. "Hi, my name is Jessi, I'll be your photographer today. Are you guys really dating or is it just a publicity stunt, because we have two pairs of models and each has to do a swim suit shoot, but only one pair has to do the sexy shoot."
Well she got down to business quickly. That seemed a little personal, but I suppose it was considerate of her to ask. I looked up at Jace who seemed to be just as shocked as I was with that question.
We exchanged a quick glance that, for us, was like a short little conversation. We knew if we told her the truth that she would tell everyone. "I can promise you we wouldn't fake date for publicity, we genuinely are together."
"All right, let's start then. I want Clary to start in the red bikini and Jace to start in the red board shorts." We changed quickly and followed her out into the ocean water. Even though we were in California, the water was still freezing.
We spent hours finding different way for me to wrap myself around Jace and kissing him. At one point I had to wrap both legs around his waist, put my hands in his hair, and kiss him as passionately as I could.
Luckily, it wasn't too awkward for us. The whole time I was trying to be sexy, Jace would whisper hilarious things in my ear. "I swear if I don't get out of this water soon, my balls are going to freeze off," He said to me during a shot where he had to kiss my neck.
The shoot finally ended at 5 o'clock. Jace and I ran out of the water both of us freezing our butts off.
Once we got dressed we ran to Jace's car and went back to his place. Damn that took forever.
"So Clary, how much did I blow your mind with my perfect body?" He teased. If he wanted to tease, I would tease back.
"The only thing attractive about you is your hair, and I messed that up," I said with a wink. He glared playfully at me.
"I would like to say the same about you but I can't lie," He said it so seriously I actually thought he was being really sweet. "There's nothing attractive about you." And there's the punch line.
"Get me home ass hole so I can take a shower. That ocean water had to be 75% piss."
"Alright, but when those pictures come out, I'm posting them all on Twitter. I have to go to the recording studio to start writing some new songs after school tomorrow, care to join me?" I hesitated only for a second before nodding and getting out of the car.
I walked up to the mansion that was my house. My father didn't live with us because he was a dick. My mother took care of my brother, Jonathan, and I all on her own. She came from family money and was a famous artist.
My step dad Luke also lived with us, but he would never really be my dad.
I walked into the house and into the living room. Jonathan bounced off the couch and ran to me. He was a senior as well, but was nearly a year older than me.
"Why are you dating Jace? You always talk about how he mistreats the girls he dates, and then you go and date him!" He had a point.
"Jace and I are in love, he would never do any of those things to me!" It wasn't the whole truth, but he would never do those things to me.
"Why the hell are you still staying the night at his place?" Valid question. I was abut to throw his question right back at them.
"Because Mom and Luke are in New York for another month and I don't want to hear you banging Izzy in the next room from mine!" Silence. Yes I knew he and my best friend were sleeping together from the moment I woke up to her moans. It was disgusting.
"I just want you to be safe. If you sleep with him in the next three days, he can get arrested for being an adult and you being seventeen. Plus if you get pregnant I have to kill him. I've been friends with Jace for years and I know how he can't resist sex."
Jonathan and Jace used to be as close as Jace and I were, but Jonathan had drifted farther away from us this last year because he was dating Izzy.
"I can handle myself Jon." I stalked up stairs and into my bedroom.
_-_-_Is It Really Fake?_-_-_
The next day school passed quickly. Aline glared at me all day and I would just smile back at her. Bitch could suck my ass.
Alec still seemed to be suspicious, but was willing to believe us for the most part. Everything was going great.
I met Jace out side of school and we went straight to the recording studio. When we got there we were directed to a man named Raphael.
"Hey guys, I'm Raphael and I'll be helping Jace here write some songs."
"I'm Clary, I guess I'm here for the same thing." He gently shook my hand and nodded before going to the room that I guessed we would be in for a while. It was a small lounge with a couch and a couple chairs.
Jace and I took the couch while Raphael took one of the chairs. "Okay guys, lets start with just a song idea."
"Why don't we sing a duet!" Jace said while smiling at me. I glared back, I so did not want to get in this industry.
"He's joking, I don't sing for other people." I told Raphael who was looking at us suspiciously.
"Is she any good?" Raphael asked Jace. Jace smiled the biggest smiles I had ever seen on him.
"She sings better than me and has all these beautiful duets written. She's also one of the top models in our industry."
"Clary will you sing one of your duets with Jace please?" I was hesitant, but pulled out my song journal any ways.
"He was lying when he said I was a good as him." Well here goes nothing.

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought hey
You know, this could be something
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time to figure out the best of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
Then maybe it's true that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time to figure out the best of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, hey
Maybe it's true that I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time to figure out the best of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking, ooh, I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time to figure out the best of my life
But I'll figure out with all that's said and done
Two is better than one, two is better than one
We sang together and suddenly it occurred to me how much alike we really were. Our voices joined together to form the beautiful song.
Raphael looked at me with shock. "You have such an amazing voice, and you wrote that song?"
"Yeah, I wrote that a while ago though. It was about Jace and I's friendship. I was pretty much a recluse before we met and he changed things. I tweaked a couple words here and there to make it a love song though."
"That was amazing, will you record it with Jace? That song could be the start of an amazing career for both of you! Jace what do you think?" Raphael asked Jace.
Jace was still staring at me. Raphael called his name again and Jace finally snapped out of it. "I would be happy to record it with Clary."
We spent the rest of the afternoon in recording booth recording the song. After the lyrics were done we traded in my guitar for some of the fancy machinery they had. It made an artificial instrumental of the song.
After a long day of hard work, we left the booth with a promise to Raphael that we would come again sometime in the next week to show our single to one of the managers at the studio. I was shocked to see a new career opening up for me.
_-_-_Is It Really Fake?_-_-_
I woke up the next morning to my radio turning on. "Good Morning Los Angeles! We have news that our favorite Clavin Klein model, Jace Wayland, is going to be writing songs with fellow model, Clary Fray. What do we think of this? Maybe we'll even get to hear a new song soon!"
How the hell did the press all ready find out about Jace and I writing songs? This was ridiculous.
I got ready as fast as I could and called Jace for a ride to school. His 2014 LaFerrari was way better than any car my parents would get me. He was super rich because his parents were rich before they died. He inherited it all and is famous for being a model.
He pulled up and honked for me to come down. I ran as fast as I could to get to him. "Did you hear?" I asked him as I slid into his car.
"Good Morning to you too, Ginge. And to answer your question, I did hear. I told you you're more popular than you thought." He winked at me before speeding off to class.
"They are expecting us to be good Jace! You're amazing at singing, but I'm not!" I decided to let the ginger comment slide since I was too worried about how much I had on my plate. Fake dating, modeling, and singing were definitely going to make my senior year hell.
"Strawberry, you have an amazing voice, don't worry about it!" He said it with dismissal, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
I sat in silence for the rest of the way as Jace sang to the radio. When I got to school Isabelle immediately ran to me. I loved Isabelle.
"Hey babe, I'll see you later," Jace told me loud enough for Isabelle to hear before leaving toward Alec and Jordan.
"Hey Clary! What do you think of a giant sleep over at my place tonight? My parents are out of town and I'm inviting all our friends over," Isabelle said while fixing her hair.
"Sounds fun, are all the guys going too?"
"Yeah and there's going to be alcohol and truth or dare so you better be there," She said to me with a threatening glare.
"I'll be there if Jace is there."
"What's up with you and Jace. I can't believe you're dating him when you know what a whore he is! I love you both, but this is crazy!"
"Jace is mine and I am his. That's how it's always been. The only difference now is that I don't have to deal with girls being all over him all the time." I said in an exasperated tone.
I turned on my heel and left for my locker after promising Isabelle that I would see her later that night at the party.
