CHAPTER 4
***CLARY***
They talked as they went back to section X, "So, this is your first day?"
"Yeah, got here this morning. How long have you been here?", Clary said.
"A few years. And, I've managed to not get any promotions or improve my rank at all. Yay me"
Clary smiled, "What do you do?"
"I am the lowest of the low, the errand boy"
"I thought section X was the lowest of the low?"
"We're about equal actually, but I'm pretty much a peasant"
"Well then, we shall be peasants together! And Alec"
"And Alec", he chuckled. "So, have you met the big boss yet? RAPHAEL SANTIAGO!"
Simon said his name waving his arms about and with a slightly racist Spanish accent. Clary almost died laughing, especially with some of the looks people gave them. "I have actually, in the elevator this morning"
"Oh... did he try to seduce you?"
"Not really... why?"
"He's slept with almost every woman who's ever worked for him, except, I think, Imogen, the lady at the front desk", he shuddered, "I hope not. She could be his grandma"
Clary smiled, "Well, it seems this is my stop... you wanna take a look at the view? It's amazing"
"Sure"
They walked inside the small room, and Simon stopped in his tracks. He stared at the view, speechless. "Like it?", Clary asked.
"It's beautiful", he breathed. They locked eyes and Clary saw Simon leaning in just slightly. She didn't move.
Just then Alec barged in. "Hey, Clary, you back al... ready..."
Simon jerked away and straightened. "Well", he said clearing his throat, "I had best be going. Farewell, fellow peasants! Untill next time!" He sent a smile at Clary and slipped past Alec.
"Um... did mess up something?"
"Your fine", Clary said smiling. She wasn't sure what would have happened if he hadn't walked in.
***TIME SKIP***
It was almost time to go home, but Alec had convinced her to stay for the sunset. The sun was well on its way to setting and Alec grabbed some pillows from a cupboard.
"Do you sleep here or something?", Clary asked in surprise. She was pretty sure she had seen a toothbrush in the cupboard.
"Somtimes, like when I have a big project to work on. It will be easier with a partner who actually contributes though. My last partner was this lazy ass, Jace Wayland, who was more occupied with sleeping his way to the top"
"That sucks"
Just then, there was a knock at the doorframe. "Come in", Alec called.
The painfully gorgeous Raphael Santiago walked in.
AN: it short, but I have an important question. Who do you want to kiss Clary first? Next chapter that will probably go down
