Chapter Two

"Well what have we here?" Jem asked. Neither Will nor Tessa spoke. So Jem continued.

"I'm guessing I haven't been paying enough attention to you Will, so you had to go and find someone else to bother." Will spoke to Tessa in a low whisper that Jem could not hear.

"Should we say something to him or at least turn around to look at him?"

"Maybe if we act like we don't hear him he'll disappear." Tessa whispered back with and grinned. Will chuckled and replied. "We can't do that."

"Well then since no one wishes to speak, I'm assuming after what I just walked in on that you two are an item now?" Jem asked.

"Jem. We wish to keep this between ourselves if you do not mind." It was Tessa who finally turned around and spoke. Will looked at her astonished, he would of thought for sure that she would want everyone to know about them.

"Very well then, let me leave you to your business. Oh and Will, I will start knocking." Jem winked and began to chuckle as he left the roof. Tessa turned back to Will and smiled.

"Tess, I think I lo-" Will was interrupted.

"Don't say anything you're going to regret Mr. Herondale." Tessa smiled and grabbed his hand and led him off the roof into the attic. She turned toward him as they reached the window and she pulled his face toward hers. Surprised once more Will smiled as she began to kiss him. Never wanting to let him go, because all Tessa ever wanted was to kiss him whenever and however she wanted. Now she could do so without judgment and without permission, and Will seemed to absolutely love it. As they kissed and ran each others hands through their hair, Tessa walked backwards towards Will's bed. She walked slowly and with every step she began to unbutton a button from his collared shirt. When she approached the last button that was located around his waist, she put her hands on his bare, pale skin and rubbed softly up to his chest feeling every rune on her way up to his shoulders, where she push the shirt off of him. When he realized what she was doing he pulled away from her, at the same time his shirt hit the floor.

"Tessa."

"Will." She replied while trying to move back to him.

"Stop."

"I thought this is what you wanted Will."

"It is Tessa but I thought-" His voice broke off as she finally made her way back over to him.

"Will this is what you wanted from me right?" She asked with her big, grey eyes staring up at him. As much as Will had told her he wanted her, he seemed to start having second thoughts about it. Thinking things such as: What if she falls in love with me after she gets to know me better? What if she figures out the truth of my curse and still loves me and dies? Why had I brought this up to her knowing the consequences she would face if she ended up loving me? Will's thoughts were soon interrupted.

"Will? Will are you okay?" Tessa asked sounding confused. Will replied, his voice calm when he spoke, "Oh sorry. Yes Tessa I am fine. I think I just need some rest tonight, do you think we can pick this up another time?"

"Sure Will whatever you want." And with that Tessa leaned up and kissed Will's forehead and let go of him. He watched her as she left closing the door behind her.
