Chapter 3 ahh!
Jace POV
Christmas Eve. Tomorrow is the day.
Me and Clary are spending Christmas morning together before heading over to the Institute for Christmas dinner and opening presents with everyone. We already spent tonight at Magnus' house with Alec, Izzy and Simon. We had a few drinks and played Truth or Dare.
But now we've just got back to the apartment and Clary is fast asleep next to me, her head resting on my chest. I haven't been able to sleep for the past two hours, I was too hyped up about tomorrow, but now I'm laying here watching her.
Watching her chest fall and rise with wispy breaths blowing out of her mouth. She sleeps so peacefully. I love her so much.
I then drifted asleep thinking of the girl I will always love.
Clarissa Fray.
Clary POV
I saw the morning light shining through my eyelids when I drifted awake. I sighed, not wanting to be awake this early. Then I realise….
It was Christmas Day!
I jumped out of bed to run out of the room, but I turned and saw Jace still fast asleep on the bed.
Let's give him a scare.
I sneaked round the side of the bed careful not to wake him. I reached his side of the bed and quietly straddled him, leaning towards his face.
'Jace,' I whispered, breathing over him.
His eyelids flutter then he opened his eyes. 'Ah!' he said, terrified of the giant looming face in forn of his. 'Jeez Clary, you scared me.'
'Haha, I scared you! You should've seen the look on your face! Priceless,' I said laughing to myself.
'Come here you,' he growled, grabbing hold of my waist and lifting me up. I squealed, not wanting to be lifted. He carried me over onto the bed and placed me down. I tried to escape, but then he straddled my waist.
'Jace!' I squeaked, 'Let me go!'
He moved his face closer to mine, inches away and whispered 'No.' then he reached down to my sides and begun to tickle me.
'Jace….No…..Stop!' I shouted while giggling and squealing at being trapped and tickled.
He grinned at my reaction, then eventually stopped and leaned forward and placing his lips to mine. I kissed him back softly and slowly, while smelling his strong scent. Minty and a hint of his leftover cologne. And something that was just…Jace.
We then stopped and I smiled up at him and whispered, 'Merry Christmas Jace,'
'Merry Christmas Clary.' He said back.
He then climbed off the bed and walked out of the room towards the kitchen. I got up and followed behind him wanting to give him his present.
I stepped out of the room to find Jace standing by the Christmas tree. Underneath it was my small wrapped box for Jace and an even smaller box that was never there before. Curious, I walked towards it, only to be stopped by Jace.
'I got you a special present,' he said, 'and I wanted you to open it here with me.'
'Okay,' I said picking up the small box.
I carefully ripped open the wrapping paper to show a small, blue velvet box. It must have been some kind of jewellery. I turned towards Jace and looked up to see him take the box from my hands.
He then suddenly lowered onto one knee. I gasped, my brain suddenly processing what was happening. Jace then opened the box to reveal a small silver ring with a bright emerald gem. I was speechless, Jace was proposing to me.
'Clary,' he said, 'You are the love of my life. No one else compares. I love you with all my heart and more and more than anything I wanted to ask you, Will you marry me?'
I stared shocked into his golden eyes seeing them filled with love for me.
'Yes. Yes, Jace I will.'
He stood up quickly and gathered me into his arms. I felt tears trickle down my face in such a moment of happiness. He then stood back, took my left hand and placed the ring on the third finger of my hand. It fit perfectly. And it was so beautiful.
'I love you Jace,' I whispered as he gathered me in his arms again.
'I love you too, so much' he whispered back, overjoyed I had said yes.
