Tale of Two Flirts
Disclaimer: nothing at all to do with Cassandra Clare.
Chapter Three
Strike One
It was two days later when Jace called Clary on her cell.
"Hello, Clary?" asked Jace when the phone call was picked up, but no one spoke. "Hey, Clary, did your bum answer this?" Jace then listened as the phone was fumbling around, then he heard a voice.
"What time is it? Who is this? This better be good." sputtered the drunken male voice on the other end.
"WHO IS THIS?" shouted Jace back at the male voice as he looked at his watch, it read 7 A.M..
"Hey, don't yell at me man. I just answered this chick's phone, that's all and I've got a hangover." said the guy as if the person he was talking to cared about his health.
"This chick?" whispered Jace, his mouth suddenly went dry before he asked, "Where's Clary?"
"Oh, yeah, that's her name, Clary. Yesssssss, she is hot. Man, what a night. Got to remember her name Claaarrry. Hey, what's her number? Asked the guy.
"What? You have her phone moron." mumbled Jace.
"Oh, man c'mon, just her number. I have a pen to write on my arm, I'm ready. Hurry up she's just in the crapper." said the guy definitely annoyed.
But Jace was steaming hot, "Listen Dick, GET THIS PHONE TO CLARY NOW!"
"My name's not Dick, Whoa, what a hangover. Got to sit down." said the guy.
"Yeah, you do that, please by all means, sit down, take a load off. Tell Clary, I'm coming over. No, no, tell her Jace called. No, Oh by the Angel.." rambled Jace, then he hung up. He didn't want Clary to take off. This was not the answer to anything. How could she be so dumb as to pick up some dumb Mundane for a one-night stand. She is a Shadowhunter! Alright, Izzy isn't the best role model, but that was her and this, this was his Clary. Oh, Jace realized he was jealous. It took a minute to sink in, but he accepted it. Yes, he was jealous, but their love is so new and she means everything to him. She centered him. He so regretted what happened in the bath a couple of days earlier. His being a flirt back and walking out. Of course she picked up some guy, he left her all aroused and horny and practically ran home to a cold shower himself. He kept away to deal with the heat he was feeling all over his body. Now, the heat he was feeling was different, he was going to toss Dick out and pray they don't get into a fight. Throw him out, then best behavior. It should work.
Meanwhile, after the phone call ended, Clary and Simon broke out into fits of hysterical laughter.
"Oh, that was precious. Once in a lifetime. Oh, he is burning, Clary, just burning mad!" roared Simon.
"I heard" said Clary through her own laughter and tears. "He must be on his way. Oh, I've got him this time. Thank you Simon, you are a true friend."
"And don't you forget it Clary Fray. I AM your oldest and dearest friend. And I always will be." said Simon calming down. "Walk me out."
"OK, and thanks for coming over so early, I knew I'd hear from him today." said Clary.
"I was up" said Simon with a wink.
"I know. Thanks again and thanks for not asking about why I was doing this to him." said Clary with a peck on his cool cheek.
"I don't care why, it was just fun to do, but don't ever tell him it was me or I'll wake up in a church or something weird as his retaliation." smiled Simon and he was out the door and gone in a flash.
Clary then ran upstairs with a huge smile across her face to get the next part of her scheme ready. She thought; This time Jace, I'm going for your will power.
How should Jace deal with this trickery! Should he give in or get mad? Next chapter will get steamy again, I promise.
