JACE POV:
"Guys" I said turning back to the breakfast table. "I think I have serious problem" I said looking at Simon and Alec.
"What's up man?" Alec asked turning around to face me.
"I think I'm in Love" I said in a whisper.
"Wait. What was that?" Simon asked with a smile creeping on his face.
"You heard me. Don't make me repeat it" I said punching Simon playfully on the shoulder.
"Dam, I never thought I'd see the day Jace Wayland would fall in love." Alec said beaming
"Yea, me either... it's just she's just different. She doesn't throw herself at me, it's like she wants to get to know me, the real me. And I wanna know her too. Like actually have a conversation and talk to each other. I want her to trust me, and I wanna be there for her when she needs me." I said looking at my hands.
"Whoa man, that's some heavy stuff going on there. But I know what you're going through. I went on a date last night with Izzy and I had a blast. We saw a scary movie and she wasn't even scared. I thought for sure she'd try and snuggle up but she didn't. We went to grab a bite to eat and we sat at the park and looked up to the stars. It may sound boring to you guys, but I loved it. I really think she's the one for me. My soul mate" Simon said as he adjusted his glasses.
"Fellas, that's all cute and all but don't you think your moving kind of fast? Simon you had one date and you know she's the one for you? That's a little crazy. I think you should get to know each other more than see if you really like her. And Jay, I think first you should at least take Clary out on a date before you do anything." Alec said turning to me and Simon.
"Yea, I guess you're right. We should take things slow, and see how they are before we make any assumptions" I said looking again at the balcony.
Clary, Izzy and Magnus were all hugging and making their way back inside.
"Hey man, here's your chance" Simon said nudging me as Clary sat in front of me at the table.
"I don't know if I can do this" I whispered looking at my sweaty palms.
That's when Alec piped up.
"So guys, I have a great idea! Let's have a date night" Alec said winking at Magnus.
"That's a great idea! What do you think Clary?" Izzy chimed.
"Uh... yea... that'd be cool" Clary said glancing at me.
"Okay, so I'm definitely taking Magnus" Alec said with a smirk.
"And I'll take Izzy" Simon said reaching for her hand across the table.
"And I'm with Clary" I said with a shy smile.
She looked at me and blushed a little.
"What? Did you guys plan this or something?" Izzy asked
"Uh, no. it's just spontaneous... Come on Iz lets go, we can do anything you want" Simon said, standing up and bringing Izzy with him to the door.
"Yea, we'll come too. Let's go Magnus" Alec said following Izzy and Simon.
"Wait. Clary are you okay with this? I mean we don't have to. Like we said before we'll always be here for you" Izzy said as she stopped in the door frame.
CLARY POV:
I really wanted them to stay, to help me get through the day. But I didn't want them to miss out on spending time with the boys. So I'll just suck it up.
"No, no no... Don't worry about me, I'm fine, go have fun" I said with a smile.
Magnus wasn't convinced. "Okay Clary. But if you need anything, we're only a phone call away" He said staring at me.
"Don't worry about it. I have Jace" I said trying to reassure him. Yea. I guess I do have Jace.
Jace came and sat by me when everyone left. There was an awkward silence for a long time. So I got up and started to clean up the stuff from breakfast. I washed everything and he started to dry.
"Clary" he said as he finished the last dish.
"Yea" I said looking at his golden eyes.
"You know, you can trust me. I'll never leave you or hurt you. You mean way too much to me" He said staring into my eyes.
I could feel my face burning up by his words. I started to cry. God! Why do I cry so much! Get a hold of your self CLARY!
He put down the dish and walked over to me bringing me into his arms. He pulled me close and rested his head on top of mine.
"Hey don't cry, please don't cry" He said as he kissed the top of my head.
"I…I...I'm sorry... its jus... it's just hard for me to let people in." I said sniffling into his shirt.
"It's okay… We can take things slow..." he said stroking my hair.
We stood there for least 10 minutes when I finally spoke.
"So... What'd you have in mind for our date" I said trying to lighten the mood. I really liked him, but I'm not really sure if I can put all my trust in him. I mean look what happened to me when I actually trusted and loved somebody last time. But I feel like he's different. Like he'd never hurt me.
"Uhh anything you want..." he said still holding me tight.
"I don't know… It's like the middle of November so I guess there's not much to do" I said releasing myself from his embrace.
He backed up and sat on a bar stool looking at me. I walked over to the counter by the bar stool he was sitting on and hopped up and sat on it.
"Uh, how about ice skating" he said with a smile.
"Ice skating! Wow. Okay! I've never been ice skating before! Let's go!" I said happily running to the door.
Jace was the only one still in his pajamas so he had to change. He went up to the bedroom and came back 5 minutes later. He had on a pair of blue jeans, a black t-shirt with a grey over coat. He paired it with a red beanie and a pair of combat boots.
God, we totally look like a pair of hipsters. Oh well, those are the best kinds. I giggled to myself as we walked out of the hotel room.
JACE POV:
We've finally arrived at the ice rink and now we're putting on our skates.
"Hey Jace… I'm kind of scared" Clary said pulling my arm as we walked onto the ice.
"It's okay, I'll teach you" I said grabbing her hand.
We walked out and I began to teach her. "Well what you do is kind of glide on one skate at a time, pushing off one foot while the other is in the air then switching" I said trying to explain it to her the best way I could. But she looked extremely confused.
"Uhh..."She managed to say before I cut her off.
"Okay, okay wait. I have a better idea, here grab onto my shoulders and I'll teach you that way" I said as I skated in front of her.
She kind of just stood there, not making any movement towards me.
"I don't bite" I said grabbing her hands and putting them on my shoulder.
I grabbed her waist and started to skate backwards. She was a little shaky at first but she soon got the hang of it.
We skated for a few hours and she learned quickly.
"See Clary, nothing to be scared of, you're a natural" I said bring us to a halt.
"Thanks Jace, you're a great teacher" she said giving me a peck on the cheek.
It caught me off guard so naturally I ended up slipping and causing us both to fall. We laid there laughing our heads off.
"Sorry, I guess that caught you off guard" she said blushing
"Haha, yea but I enjoyed it" I said getting back up and stretching out an arm to pull her up.
"Yea, so did I, even though we both fell on our asses" she said laughing.
We walked back and got our shoes.
"How about a walk?" I asked gesturing towards the park. She agreed and we headed over there. We walked until we found a bench, and we sat down.
CLARY POV:
I really do like him. I probably should tell him about my nightmare, since he was the one holding me last night. I should probably tell him first that I'm a demon before things get too far.
"Jace" I said looking at him
"Yes Clary" he said gazing at me with those gorgeous golden eyes.
I can't do this. "Umm. What are you?" I blurted out.
"What do you mean?" he said with a confused look.
"Like species, I know that SI and Alec are people of the fae, so what are you?" I asked
"Oh, I'm from the heavens too actually, uh... I'm actually the prince of the heavens... so I'm like an angel" he said nervously.
"AN ANGEL!" I blurted out.
"Yea, why?" he asked grabbing my hands.
"Well that explains why you're so good looking" I mumbled
"I have a confession" I said pulling him closer.
"I'm a demon, not just any demon though, I'm the princess" I said looking at his face, bracing myself for the worst.
