Hey guys- I'm finally back with another chapter! Sorry for missing for a long period of time. Let's just say that I have been trapped inside the HOMEWORK LAND for a long time. BUT I would still like to THANK everyone for following AND commenting! Please enjoy this chapter as well!
Jace groaned looking out the window as rain drops started to be visible through his window. He was swinging his sword back and forth which meant that he was bored. He was always bored. Clary was bored too. But she tried not to show it since if Jace knew... if he knew... "Hey," Jace interrupted Clary's thought. "Wanna go out?" "To where?" Clary asked suspiciously, Jace's ideas always consisted of some kind of rule breaking things. "To Taki's Diner Of course!" Jace smiled mysteriously, "You know? Izzy's making dinner tonight." Clary frowned as she answered, "I don't really have an option do I?" Clary said this as she shivered at the thought of Izzy's food that happened to be called, 'Peanut Butter mashed potato dip.' "Nope unless, you really want to eat um... Izzy's food." Jace answered, making the face he always wore when he knew he'd won the argument. "Okay, then let's get going before rain gets stronger and... before Izzy finishes making dinner." Clary answered sighing. Anything would be better than forcefully swallowing Izzy's unknown food.
Taki's Diner is a downworld cafe. It is also a place where everybody; faeries, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and even some mundanes could go. As Clary entered, Clary was greeted with all-too-familiar waitress, Kaelie. Jace always pretends to flirt with her to 'get more food with no extra charges' as Jace put it. Clary smirked as Jace sat down on their usual seat by the window after winking at Kaelie, Clary walked up and sat down next to him. "What can I get you two?" Kaelie asked both of them, but she was looking at Jace. Jace, whom was looking at Clary looked up to Kaelie and quickly answered, "Um...the Usual for me... and... Coconut pancakes with coffee for Clary. Extra fries and honey will do fineee." Jace said the last word with a small wink. Clary smiled, Jace knew exactly what food she wanted to have. Kaelie smiled (at Jace) and disappeared in to the kitchen.
"So-" Clary started, "What are we doing after?" Jace looked up. "Oh, actually... it is a BIG secret. I'm surprised that you haven't figured it out already." Jace was smiling as he fidgeted with his sword uncomfortably. Jace stopped and smiled his 'flirty smile' as Kaelie brought their food out. Her pancake looked golden as usual as it shone against the light. Clary pushed her dish towards the middle as Jace did the same. They always shared food. Jace was already chewing on his fries. Clary grabbed one of his fries and threw it in to her mouth. It was good, not over fried or not too much seasoning. "Clary," Said Jace as he started pouring sugar in to Clary's coffee and stirred at the same time. "Finish your food fast, we have to go somewhere before it gets dark." Clary was now chewing on her delicious pancakes. She loved pancakes. She would eat it any time of the day.
"So where are we going?" Clary asked as she jogged towards Jace. "Just somewhere quiet." Jace answered awkwardly. Jace led Clary towards one of the empty alleyway. It was dimmed lit by moonlight, creating a very romantic atmosphere, Clary thought. When Clary and Jace got to the perfect spot where there was just enough light to see what was in front of them, Jace started talking before Clary could ask what was going on. Jace presented two rings. "Faerie rings!" Jace exclaimed, Clary studied hard enough to knew what Faerie rings were. "They are two rings that allows wearers to communicate through their mind!" Jace explained. "Wait Jace, the Faerie rings were gone, stolen. Where did you get it?" "That, my friend, is my business. Your business is-" Jace said as he grabbed Clary's hand. Clary's face brightened a little as Jace pushed one of the rings into her finger. "Happy birthday, Clary Fairchild." Jace whispered. Clary was surprised, today was her birthday? She always forgot her birthdays and was always reminded by Jace. Clary leaned up and kissed Jace lightly on the cheek. "Thank you." Clary whispered smiling a little. It was her first time kissing anyone other than her mom. But Clary had to do something to thank him and that was the only thing that came in to her mind. Jace smiled brightly. Then he did the unthinkable. He leaned down. and. He. Kissed. Her. Clary knew that she could pull away. But she didn't.
When they pulled away to take a breath, Clary's face was burning red. Clary could feel it. "Does that mean that we are..." Jace started but he didn't finish. But that was enough for Clary to know what he meant. "I don't know Jace. Do you..." "Oh angels Clary... I've wanting to do this forever." Clary couldn't say she've been wanting to do this. Of course she wanted to do this. So instead, Clary stood on her tiptoes and kissed Jace. "Is that a yes?" Jace said in the dark as moonlight started to disappear. Clary could feel Jace smiling.
"Yes, Jace, that a yes."
Isabelle let out a breath as Alec swung his sword and missed her by an inch. "Are you focusing Izzy?" How can she? Jace would be asking Clary out somewhere. She've been wanting Clary and Jace to date for ages. Now one of her shipping has come to life, that left her with Alec, her brother. Isabelle ignored her brother's question as she replied with another question of her own. "Alec, Are you and Magnus dating?" "No Izzy, we're not." "Oh yeah?" She grabbed her phone and as she ran away from Alec, dialled Magnus's number. "Hello this is Magnus Bane." Said a dark male voice, Magnus. "Hey Magnus, this is Izzy." "Oh, are you Alec's..." "Yes, I'm Alec's little sister. Magnus. Did you and Alec kiss?" "What?! No! Isabelle, No!" Herm... this was going slower than she thought it would be. "Then are you planning to or do you want to?" "Even if I did, that would be up to Alec." Yes, of course her brother wanted to, she just wanted to figure out if Magnus did. "Thanks Magnus, by the way, Alec would say yes." With that Isabelle hung up with a wide grin on her face. This are easier than she thought it would be. She was guessing that tomorrow, friday. Alec would be going to Magnus's again.
"Hey, big brother!" Isabelle shouted, "Magnus said YES!" Alec's face brightened. Why did she have to be so loud? But yes? Did Magnus actually say yes?
