After almost scaring the crap out of me, Jace disappeared in the kitchen. I stood there, breathing hard. I swear to God I thought he had decided to rape me.
"What the fuck?" I heard Jace shout from the kitchen
"Please tell me you stabbed yourself" I replied.
"There's no food in here!" he said, his head appearing suddenly.
"I have a word for you: starve" I said, grinning and walking to the glass stairs.
"Woah, woah, woah. Not a chance, baby" he said, walking in my direction with both eyebrows raised.
"Then go to the market. Not so hard, you know" I said, continuing up the stairs.
"Stop right there, you shrimp. You're the girl here. I'll give you anything; my motorcycle, credit card, whatever. Just go and do groceries shopping. And soon"
That did it. I turned around and stomped down the stairs and stopped right in front of him, faces inches apart
"You know something? I'm going to go-"
"Thank Jesus-"he started
"But just because we're roommates and that's it!" I said, poking his chest hard, and with so much rage that I thought I was going to slap him. He grinned down at me and beside us appeared his hand, holding a credit card. I snatched it out of his finger, took my handbag and got into the elevator. And just right before the doors closed I heard Jace shout from the living room
"Bring me mangos!"
C~J C~J C~J
I had to call Luke to bring me a car to the supermarket because, well, hello, where I was supposed to put the groceries? I wasn't planning on walking back with them in my hands. No way in hell.
I didn't see him. He called me to drop the car (which he said was a Ferrari) in front of the market where he paid one of the employees to watch it while I finished. Awesome!
When I finished my shopping, that by the way took two carts; I actually started thinking if I should pay with my credit card. After all, it was Jace's father who bought the apartment…it just didn't seem fair.
But he was such a dick…
'Oh, Fuck it' I thought at the same time I slide his card. With the help of another employee I went out the market and found the red blood Ferrari.
"Wow" I said, admiring the car for a few seconds.
"Miss Fairchild?" said the employee who was watching the car
"Yeah, that's me" I said walking to the driver side. The two employees loaded the, at least, sixty bags, and they had to put half of them in the back seats of the car. After I tipped the employees I was on my way to the apartment.
Shit
How the hell was I supposed to bring all this bags to the eightieth floor of the damn building? Damn you, Jace.
The elevator doors opened and the first thing I did was
"Jonathan Christopher Herondale! Get you golden-boy ass here now!" I shouted. I stepped out of the elevator and put some of the bags I'd brought with me beside the elevator doors. Now we had to wait for the employee of the building to bring the rest of the groceries.
Jace was talking in the phone when he walked down the stairs. He was laughing with whoever he was talking to. I rolled my eyes
"Take the bags that-" I started, but Jace raised his hand quickly to shut me up, trying to hear whatever that person was saying to him. Then he gave a short laugh
"Yes. Don't worry about anything, I'll see you tonight" he said and then hung up. I walked to the kitchen, bags in hand, like I haven't heard anything. Was he gonna meet somebody tonight?
"What do you want now, flea?" he said. I put the bags down in the kitchen and turned around, raising an eyebrow.
"I buy; you organize" I said
"What?" he said, both of his eyebrows raised to the sky.
"For heaven's sake! It's not so hard, you idiot" I said, walking to the glass stairs. Just when I put a foot in the first step I felt a hand around my arm. I turned around in a swift motion and jerked my arms out of his grip.
"I don't like being touched, jerk face, especially by you, thank you very much!" I said with a sharp voice.
"Ouch. You hurt my feeling, Thumbelina" he said, putting a hand over his heart.
"Ugh. Get over it, jackass" I said, turning around and walking up the stairs. I reached a white carpeted hallway, which led to two doors at the end of it. Both of the doors were dark wood and looked creepy contrasted with the white walls. The right door was already opened and I saw black and white sheets. Totally Jace's. So I turned the knob of the left door. When I opened it I stood frozen.
The room was stunningly beautiful. In a modern/teenager way.
The furniture was all white, bed sheets were white, even the immense furry rug that covered 75% of the bedroom, was white. The only color to differentiate was the baby blue pillows over the bed, one of the bedroom chairs that were also blue, and some blue parts of the walls. I had some slight black double doors that led to an awesome balcony. And what I loved: I had a small chandelier. So cute.
"Did you buy my mangos?" Jace yelled from downstairs.
I sighed silently
Patience…
I turned to my right and saw all my suitcases, in the wooden part of the room, all together. Then I looked back to my room. It was awesome. I missed my old bedroom, but well…this was a new chapter in my life, and I was so gonna have to deal with it. Maybe I hated Jace, maybe I was totally against all this, but I knew deep in my heart that I had to do it. It's true what Luke had said. He never asked me to make sacrifices, but there was no chance of saving me from this one. I was totally screwed.
"Found them!" Jace shouted. I was seriously gonna punch him. Why was I stuck with him? I mean…can life be a little bit fairer? Shoot
Hm…maybe I can free myself from the marriage after the company was delivered to the hands of the next owners. But I gotta make it credible…
Suddenly, I smiled
I was such a drama queen.
I walked to the balcony of the room stopped there. I could see New York from here. The buildings; the streets; the people walking to different directions…
New York is awesome.
I heard a whistle.
"Now this is what I call a bedroom worthy of Jace Herondale paying a visit" I hear from behind. I turned around and glared at Jace. He was looking around my room, walking to the bed and giving a nod of approval.
"Get the fuck out!" I shouted, closing the balcony doors and stepping into the bedroom.
"Baby, you look so cute when you're mad. I'll put my experience in practice to make it permanent" he said, crossing his arms over his chest and grinning down at me. I raised an eyebrow, gave a step back and copied his position
"Want me to tell you something really cool?-" I asked,
"Not really"
"After thinking it all through carefully, summarizing each point and observing each tiny detail, I have come to the conclusion that I couldn't care less..."
"That's such a waste of saliva" he said with both eyebrows raised. I rolled my eyes and pointed at the door
"Out. Now"
"But why? I like it…we could sleep over, watch romantic movies, paint our nails, prank call some cute guys and my favorite: facial time!" he said with over excited tone.
"You're such a wonderful young man I could kiss you right now" I said with bored tone
"Sarcasm now seems to be, in general, the language of the devil" he said giving a faint smile.
"My God. Don't you have somewhere to be? Something else to do? Do you even work?" I asked, walking to my suitcases and bringing them to the bed, so I could start unpacking.
"My father is my banker, provided by nature" he said, with a determined look on his face. I rolled my eyes.
"Get out?" I said in an, I'm-tired-of-you-stupidity-so-if-you-finished-can-you-please-leave-now, tone.
"But of course, mademoiselle" he said with a joking voice.
He actually left the room
C~J C~J C~J
An hour and half later, I had all my things put in their new place. I took out my new iPhone speakers and put it over the nightstand, under the bedside lamp. Everything looked really good. What I was thinking, was that I was going to buy some cute Christmas lights and I'm going to basically tangle them with the curtain, metal tube. It was going to look even better than it already does. It was almost nightfall when I went downstairs, but not before I got a shower, in my huge personal bathroom and changed into some skinny jeans and A&F white tank top, with straps.
Jace was watching TV in the huge, second living room, that had a big, big plasma. He looked like he had taken a shower too because he was wearing a navy button down shirt, his sleeves pulled up to his elbows and jeans. He was barefoot. And also his hair looked a little bit wet, curls taking form in his head.
What the fuck? Would you stop it?
Ugh!
I walked to the kitchen and took out one of the little ice cream cartons, I'd bought. Mint chocolate chip. Jace turned his head and saw me. Then he grinned
"Took you long enough, shrimp" he said.
"Get over it, for heaven's sake" I said, digging into my ice cream and licking the spoon noisily.
"Now that's nasty" he said wrinkling his nose.
"And I want your opinion because…?" I said, raising my eyebrows at him.
"Hmm, now I see where we're going with all this" he said, grinning again. Damn…doesn't it hurt for all the smiling thing?
"What are you talking about?" I said, looking at him like he wasn't making any sense. Well, he actually wasn't.
"Careful, little shrimp. I have a black belt in sarcasm. Nobody can beat me. Unless for some crazy reason, I allow it or I'm really close to my menopause years" he said, trying to look serious.
"Mhm…" I said, nodding and looking serenely at him.
"Anyways...I'm going out" he said, going to his feet and taking some shoes that were beside the dinning table.
"Are you going to meet with the person you were talking to?" I said in an interested, but accusatory tone.
"Nosy little shrimp" he said, shaking his head slowly, while he put his shoes on.
"Do I need to buy you some condom boxes, Jace?" I asked, digging again my ice cream
"Damn, how do you even know I was talking with a girl?" he asked, finishing with his shoes and looking at me with a frown, while he took a sip of water from the glass cup that was over the table.
"Are you gay?" I asked. Jace choked, water spray flying through the air, and then began to cough
"Believe me. That's not what your mother said three days ago" he said, wiping his chin of water.
"Ew…you're such a dickhead" I said. Obviously he did not 'ew' with my mom, she despised him. So. But still…he's so nasty.
"Just stating the truth. And it would be an incredible waste of good merchandise"
"For my sanity and your safety…disappear!" I yelled, completely disgusted. He flew away, his laughter still ringing in my ears.
C~J C~J C~J
I was dying of boredom. Like…ugh, not even Angry Birds was entertaining me. And that is something. So I made the best decision of my life. Well, new life.
I took my handbag, my keys and flew to the elevator. Almost at doors, the concierge lady called me. I stopped and had to turn to the reception. Ugh, now what.
"Yes?" I said, going almost to my tiptoes.
"You have a package. It was sent in, this afternoon" she said walking to me with a small black carton box in her hand. It had a silver bow at the top of it. She gave it to me.
"Thanks" I said smiling at her and walking to the doors. When I was finally outside, I opened the box. There was white chiffon fabric inside. And over it was a silver ring. An engraved silver ring. I took it in my fingers and inspected the piece of art. It said in a simple cursive letter:
True love waits
Now I'm freaking out.
I found a little piece of paper that was burned all around. It was trying to simulate parchment. It read:
From an old friend…I hope you remember me
C~J C~J C~J
I walked through the crowded streets, looking at every store I passed, trying to forget the new ring I had in my right hand. I went inside, three or four clothes boutique and bought skirts and a lot of t-shirts. By the time I went to Starbucks I had five paper bags. I bought a mint chocolate chip Frappuccino and continued with my shopping afternoon. There was music slipping out of open clubs and the streets were more than crowded. Couples walked, holding hands and talking, in lovely voices. None of the girls had an engagement ring.
I went inside Abercrombie and took a white XS strapless shirt I had already seen online and went to pay for it. When it was my turn, I put the shirt over the counter and looked for my wallet.
"It'll look lovely on you"
I looked up and found sweet blue eyes. The guy, that by the way had black hair and creamy skin, folded the shirt, throwing a sweet smile in my direction. I smiled and took out my credit card.
"That would be all?" he said.
"Yeah"
"Thirty-two ninety-eight" he said, taking my credit card and sliding it. I watched him work. He was awesomely cute. And had sweet expression in his face. He gave me a receipt to sign and smiled at me again.
"Thanks" I said, as he gave me the paper bag
"You're really beautiful" he said. I gave him a tiny smile, trying to ignore that fact that I was blushing
"Thanks" I said in a low tone. He gave me a lopsided smile
"Can I have your number?" he asked calmly. I thought it for a second. I swear I considered it
"I don't think so" I said and after giving him a tiny smile I turned and walked to the exit. Almost outside I heard him say
"At least give me your name"
I stopped and turned in his direction. He was giving me that sweet smile again.
"Clary"
He flashed a smile
"My name is Matt"
I gave him my best smile
"It was nice meeting you, Matt" I said before I stepped out the store
I was slurping my coffee when I saw a pet shop store across the street. I loved animals.
I stepped inside and went directly to the kennels. That's when I saw the white Labrador puppy. I fell instantly in love with the doggie. I stopped at the service counter
"Um, what's the price for the little white Labrador?" I asked. The woman looked up from her papers
"I think it was four hundred twenty" she said. I thought it for a moment.
Well, to hell with everything. I was giving up my life.
"Ok, I'm interested" I said. While the lady looked for the keys, she gave me some forms to fill. When I finished we went to get my baby. The lady disappeared through the door of the kennel and I saw her when she picked up the puppy from display. She stepped outside and walked to me with the white puppy in her arms
"Here you go" she said while handing it to me.
"Is it a she or he?" I asked, taking the light weight in my already full arms.
"Is a he. A month old. He's a cutie pie" the lady said. After she helped me pick everything the puppy needed, including some I added, I paid for everything and stepped outside the pet shop, with the baby in my arms
He was so damn cute I just wanted to cuddle with him
"Hey, baby" I cooed. He had some incredible blue eyes.
"Do you like the name Tyser?" I cooed again. I touched my nose to his and he licked my cheek.
"Oh yes you do" I sweet talked. I returned to the apartment an hour later. It was eleven thirty and after going shopping with Tyser in my arms, I thought they were going to fall off. I put Tyser down as soon as the elevator doors opened to my apartment. The baby was sniffing the floor, obviously testing his new home.
"Do you like it here, baby? It's better than the shop, isn't it?" I said walking to the living room. I threw all of the paper bags over one of the couches and went to the kitchen, with the pet shop bag. I took out everything. The five food bags, the stainless steel bowls, shampoos, treats, toys, blankets, his bed, baby blue collar, harness and leash. I went upstairs for a second to put Tyser's furry black bed beside my bed and to change in my red PJs, I then picked Tyser up in my arms and slumped in the living room. I pay for the 'Wild Child' movie On Demand and cuddle in the couch with Tyser in my arms. He liked to lick my cheek and fingers and he smelled so good. Like a baby.
"You're so cute, Tyser" I said, kissing his belly. Oh my God, I could hug him all day long. We didn't finish the movie. We fell deeply asleep.
Until-
"Shit!"
I woke up immediately and the puppy jumped in my arms, giving a doggy whimper.
"Shh, it's ok" I murmured to Tyser; he had a sad look on his face.
"It's not ok!" Jace screamed from the kitchen. What the hell?
"I fuckin' hit my little toe with the sharp edge of the kitchen wall" he said. After a few seconds he started cursing heaven and hell itself.
"Fucking shit, I thought I lost my toes, dammit" he grumbled.
"Um…ouch?" I said sarcastically. Jace's angry face appeared from the kitchen
"Not in the mood, you know" he said limping to one of the table chairs. Then Tyser jumped and put his little paws over the back rest of the couch.
Jace narrowed his eyes at my puppy
"Who's the stinky flea?" he asked, his eyes never leaving Tyser
"First of all, he's not a stinky flea. He's just a puppy. Second, his name is Tyser. And third, I just bought him. He's my new baby" I said taking Tyser in my arms again and kissing his nose.
"Now people buy their own babies? Then what is that thing that women get after they miss their period? A goddamn tumor? Shit, I knew it" he said to himself. I rolled my eyes.
"Are you always this retarded or are you making a special effort today?" I said going to my feet.
"Wow. That's a brilliant comeback" he said considering it for a moment. I stood frozen and raised and eyebrow. What the f…
"Well…aren't you a smart little smurf, huh?" he said. I scoffed and then put Tyser on the floor.
"Were you fucking someone this very night, my pretty fiancée?" I asked raising my eyebrows
"Wow, I knew you were a telepath, but damn, I wasn't counting on your powers being so developed" he said
"You do know cheating is the big no-no for a stable relationship, don't you?" I said, giving him a smirk
"As if I wanted to be in a relationship with you, little smurf" he said
Um. Well, Ouch
"Hey, I've had this question running through my head for the last twelve hours I've been with you…" he said, trying to look for the words.
"And here I am, asking myself if you could be any more retarded than I already know" I say to myself.
"You're not a virgin, are you?" he asked
I looked him right in the eye. Then I gulped quickly and looked away. If Luke finds out he was going to kill me
"I knew it. You nosy little smurf!" he said, grinning down at me. Ugh. I hated that he was so damn tall
"Um, as if you were…" I said rolling my eyes and walking away, to the stairs; Tyser followed me.
"That I totally cannot deny, my little princess, but wow. I thought we could, you know-"
I stopped halfway up the stairs and lifted my hand in his direction
"Talk to the hand. If you have any questions...consult my middle finger" I said flipping him off and going up the stairs.
"You started it! This means war!" he said, laughter in his voice. Fucking Satan's bastard.
