.
It was just a beer. She didn't think she needed it. She wanted it though, it was more then something to do. She was at an awful family reunion and she really didn't want to face people. She didn't want to banter with idiots. She was a Shadowhunter and no one here knew it. She was there to give support to Simon, but it was difficult for her. She kept reminding herself to think of the bigger picture.
She ended up in a corner with a waiter willing to give her lots of drinks. He wanted a big tip from this party. She didn't know when the beer bottle became a mixed drink, but she realized she was picking up a slender high ball glass. She took a large sip and tasted the bitter and the felt the fizz. She quickly repeated the pattern until the drink was gone. The waiter passed by.
"Would you like another one?" asked the waiter.
"Sure, yeah." Clary said. She didn't even raise her head to look at him. She heard Simon talking with someone who was getting loud. They were laughing at something he said and he was sounding annoyed. Clary took out her cell phone and tried to text Jace. The drink arrived, but Jace had not responded. He was probably working out. Clary kept playing around with her phone and taking fewer sips of her drink when she noticed an App for Skype. It's free, you can IM, Her fingers started flying around her keyboard.
Oh she needs a new name, that stopped her. Clary was in deep thought about what she wanted to be for this name.
Simon sat down heavily next to her.
"Oh, Simon, how's everything going?" asked Clary.
"It is sh*t, really." spat out Simon. Clary was about to ask more, but Simon kept venting.
"First of all, I am trying to really discuss some of the daily trials and tribulations of being a vampire." said Simon.
"What?" interrupted Clary. "You told your family that you..." Now it was Simon's turn to interrupt. They did this to each other a lot.
"NO. I did not tell anyone about me. But I was just talking about fictional characters and it was a big joke to my uncle." said Simon.
"They don't know what real vampires are then." said Clary
"No,they don't. They are all Bela Lugosi accents and curling their arm around their mouth leaving their pointy elbows to swing into other people." said Simon. Clary laughed.
"That's funny." said Clary her voice starting to slur.
"No, it's not funny." said Simon and he looked more intently at Clary. "Yeah, it is." smiled Simon.
"Are you drunk? At my family reunion?" asked Simon.
"Do you really blamey me?" asked Clary.
"No, I guess not. Hey, let's leave alright?" asked Simon.
"Will you turn into a bat and fly me home, hic. Oops sorry." said Clary with a shy smile. Simon couldn't help but laugh.
"You always do this to me Fray. Thanks for showing me what an ass I am making of myself." said Simon. He helped Clary stand up.
"Clary, can you walk?" asked Simon holding her firmly by the elbow.
"Not shurrr nuff, but less see." said Clary with a wobbly step.
"I can walkies." said Clary. "Hey, remember that old British lady with the TV show walking the dogs, she would say 'Walkies!'" said Clary with a high pitched voice. Simon laughed harder.
"Your accent needs work." said Simon as they took their coats and left the building. They were out on the city streets. Simon was looking for a cab. Clary was staring at him.
"What? I'm looking for a cab, lets start walking. No, I don't turn into a bat." snarled Simon. Clary laughed.
Just then a car pulled up and the darkened window rolled down. Simon leaned over and saw Jace who was bending over to look at them.
"Taxi?" asked Jace to Clary.
"Ooo, my midnight cowboy in shining leather!" squealed Clary as she went for the front seat. Simon climbed into the back.
"Mind dropping me off?" asked Simon.
"No man, but what happened to my friend here?" ask Jace.
"She had a few." said Simon.
"No shit, Sherlock. Any special reason?" asked Jace more to Clary, but he looked in the rear view mirror at Simon in case he wanted to explain.
"I was dealing with my dysfunctional family. I don't know, sometimes, she just sits around and gets sad though." said Simon knowingly.
"So letting her add alcohol is just what she needs, huh?" asked Jace.
"Hey angel boy, I'm not her keeper." said Simon.
"Are you her friend?" asked Jace.
"Jace?" said Clary breaking up their escalating discussion.
"Yes, Clary." answered Jace with concern.
"I'm hungry." said Clary as she snuggled into his bare arm.
"You know what drop me here" said Simon. "I need to walk." Jace was more then happy to let him off.
Once Simon was out of the car Clary let a deep breath out.
"Are we getting fool, I mean food?" asked Clary.
"Sure." said a calm and together Jace. He started driving again. "What would you like?
"Youuuuuuu." said Clary and she licked up his arm. Jace swerved the car as if he was touch by a jolt of lightening.
"Whoa, who's the drunk one?" asked Clary.
"What are you doing?" asked Jace, a little less composed.
"Jace, can I ask you something?" asked Clary.
"Alright." said Jace, now feeling a little nervous.
"We have dated some, but tonight, I really missed you." said Clary, the liquor giving her the confidence to open up..
"Oh, that is sweet, thanks Clary." said Jace. Clary brought her lips up to Jace's ear and whispered;
"I wanna tosh you?" asked Clary. Luckily a red light came up at the end of the block and Jace shifted in his seat.
" What did you say? " asked Jace. As he turned Clary bent down over Jace's lap. She started to fumble with his pants zipper and he pulled her up and away.
"I wanna.." said Clary straining to get to his zipper.
"I am more then willing to do whatever you have in mind, but Clary I don't want you to..." said Jace when Clary interrupted him.
"Just drive. Take me to New Jersey. I want some Mexican food." said Clary.
"New Jersey?" asked Jace as Clary stared to rub on the outside of his pants and inside his thigh. Jace groaned.
"I know you like those spicey deeeelights." said Clary. Jace put both hands on the wheel and pulled back over to the curb.
"No, keep driving. Jace, thsss iz my fantasy." said Clary. Jace had no idea what she was doing or thinking but now he was feeling real good as she massaged and stroked up and down his leg. Jace had driven up town and was on the lane to the George Washington Bridge heading toward New Jersey. By now she had completely exposed him and her head was over his lap. She sucked and nipped and used her fingers to drive Jace to the edge. There was no construction on the bridge, the traffic moved along, but Jace started to slow down. He took his foot off of the pedal afraid he was going to floor it. He started moaning and put his head back on the head rest a couple of times. Clary hand was tightly pumping up and down while her tongue teased the head and she sucked harder and harder. Jace gripped the wheel until his knuckles were white.
"Oh Clary, I'm , you have to stop or." said Jace as he tried to focus on the car in front of him. He stopped completely.
"Or what?" asked Clary with a smile on he face as she kept her hands busy. A car honked their horn behind him and he tried to press the pedal.
"I'm, uhhhh." said Jace as he came into Clary's hands. Jace exhaled slowly afterward and there was a shakiness to his breath. The cars sped up while passing around him as he started to drive and Clary found a sweat shirt on the back seat to clean him up. He shook his head and opened the window. He shook his head again to clear his vision as they passed into New Jersey.
"Hungry now?" asked Clary.
"Actually, I want some Mexican food too, now that you ask." said Jace. Jace was still completely exposed as Clary snuggled back up against him.
They got off three exits later and found their favorite place. They went in and ordered take out. While they were waiting they were outside and Jace maneuvered Clary over to the wall in the shadows and they started to make out. After five minutes they broke apart and went back in to get their food. They came back outside to eat in the car.. After they settled in and were eating Jace turned to Clary.
"Hey, why was that your fantasy?" asked Jace.
"You liked it didn't..." said Clary as Jace immediately added," Oh, yes, I definitely loved it. This is a new side of you. I just wondered."
"I want to do adventurous things with you. I don't mean dangerous. I mean, you've been with many other girls and I wanted to stand out for something for you to remember that I was the one." and Clary's voice started to shake.
"Hey, hey, what is this, you don't have to prove yourself. What is this?" said Jace as he wiped a small tear off her cheek.
"I will never forget you. I want to be with you. But I don't want you to think I compare you with any one. Really." said Jace. He pulled Clary into a hug.
"I like that whenever you see this bridge, you'll remember this night." said Clary teary eyed as she was looking into Jace's eyes.
"I remember every night I have with you, Clary." said Jace.
"Jace?" asked Clary.
"Yes," said Jace.
"Do you have any fantasies about me?" asked Clary.
"Sure." said Jace.
"Many?" asked Clary.
"Oh, every night." said Jace with a wink.
"Like what?" asked Clary.
"How about, when we get back to the institute, I show you one." said Jace as he bends over and kisses Clary passionately. When they broke apart for much needed air. Clary asked
"Like what?" she repeated.
"After I steam up the bathroom, I can show you." said Jace and he started the car up.
