I turn around to face Sebastian. I didn't know what he wanted to talk about. I didn't want to talk about anything serious either. I said the first thing that came to mind. "Yeah, sure. If it's about the dinner, I can ask my mom if you can come. I'm sure she would love to meet my boyfriend."
"No, it's fine. I don't want to ruin anything. I actually wanted to talk about something else. Although, I would like to meet your mother." He replied, his face lit up a little when I called him my boyfriend.
"I can arrange a private dinner for my family and you. I think that would be fun." He smiled at me. "Anyways, what is it you want to talk about? If it's about Jace, just don't listen to him. He can be a dick sometimes. I think he's always been this way, but the alcohol has got some part in it." I was looking into his beautiful dark eyes. They were such a dark brown that his eyes almost looked black. I stepped closer to him and put my arms around him. I had to bend my head back to look at him, but it didn't bother me. "Why don't we go inside? I think that I'm ready for some Truth or Dare." He smiled and bent his head down. I lifted mine and when our lips met, I pulled away.
"Hey!" He called. I started running for the door, but he was faster. He grabbed my arm and I gave a little shriek. We lost our balance and fell over. Sebastian was on top of me. "I'm getting my kiss." He stated. I laughed and kissed him. This kiss was more passionate than the first one. It didn't last long though. I knew for sure this time.
"C'mon, love birds! Don't want to miss out on the fun. Though you two look like you're having plenty of it." Jordan called from the door. Seb started laughing and got off of me. He pulled me up and got another kiss before we started for the door. "You two are too cute. Wow, I can't believe that I just said that. Don't tell anyone."
"No worries. We'll keep your little secret." Sebastian said from my side. He slipped his hand in mine and laces our fingers together. We are both smiling.
We walked into the house behind Jordan. We walked to the basement to find the others waiting for us. "Finally! Okay, let's start!" Izzy calls from the floor where she is sitting Indian style. "Who wants to go first?" When no one answered she said, "Okay, fine. I'll be first." She looked around at each of us and finally pointed at Tessa. "Okay, truth or dare?" She asked.
"Truth."
"God, why do you always choose this one. Okay, um..." While Iz was thinking of a truth, Seb led me to a love seat. We sat down and I put my head on his shoulder. Finally Izzy thought of something. "Okay, so who was your first crush? I don't think I've asked this yet."
I saw Tessa give an uneasy look at Jem and looked back at Izzy. "What type of crush?"
"Ugh, I don't know. I guess a friend. Not celebrity."
"Um..." I saw Tessa look at Jem again.
"Tess, it's okay. Just go ahead and say it. I won't be mad." Jem whispered to Tessa. I could barely hear it, but I was closer than anyone else to hear.
"This is kind of embarrassing, I suppose." Tessa said.
"Just spit it out girl!" Izzy called from her spot on the floor.
"Okay, okay. It was... Will." I saw everyone's shocked faces. Mine probably mirrored theirs. She said, "I know, I know. Shocker. Well, it's the truth."
"You're damn good at hiding your feelings." Maia said, still shocked.
"Yeah. So how about you Maia? Truth or dare?" Tessa asked Maia.
"Shit. Okay, I should have expected that. I choose... Dare." She finally said.
"I dare you to..." Tessa was looking around the room. "I'm horrible at this. Jordan come here." Jordan walked over to her and they started whispering about something. "Okay, I won't do that. I know something that Iz has in this house. I dare you to find the alcohol. Izzy, Jace, and Alec can't help."
"Okay. Jordan, come help me. Izzy hides her alcohol to well." They walked out of the room in search of the alcohol.
"They'll never find it. I hardly can find it." Jace said from his chair. His genuine smirk was still on his face.
"We won't see them for awhile. Who do you think she would have chosen?" Izzy asked.
"Either, Jordan, Alec, or I." Magnus replied. "That's who she always chooses."
"Okay, truth or dare?" Izzy said, but no one knew who she was talking to. "Alec."
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss the girl that you find prettiest."
"Seriously? I'm gay. Why can't it be guys?" Alec whined.
"Because we all know you think Magnus is the hottest."
"Fine." There was a little smirk on his face and he walked towards Iz.
"No, it can't be me. Either Tess or Clary."
"They might be offended if I pick one over the other."
"You know Tess enough that she won't care. From my two days with Clary, she won't care either. Besides your opinion doesn't really matter."
"Okay. Thanks for destroying my little ego."
"There was never an ego to destroy."
"Whatever." He started walking towards Tessa and me. It would be awkward for which ever person he chooses. Both of our boyfriends are sitting beside us, but I guess a gay is not a threat. He leaned down to Tessa and whispered in her ear. She smiled and looked over at Jem. She pecked his lips and turned back to Alec but he was no longer there. He was beside me. He held my face in his hands and brought my face to his. I was still looking at him in shock. At the last minute, he turned his face and pecked my cheek. He stood back up and walked back to where he was standing with Magnus.
"Who knew Alec could be such a player?" Jace called from his seat.
"That wasn't the kind of kiss I was talking about!" Iz called from the floor. "Whatever, I'll go with it."
"Okay, Magnus. Truth or dare?" Alec said.
"I choose truth. Although no one ever likes to get it from me." I smiled at that.
"Why do you wear so much glitter?"
"What kind of question is that? Glitter is amazing! It's fashion. A part of life. Never trust a person that doesn't like glitter. Most of the time those people are really boring. I know that you like my glitter though." Magnus stated.
"Let's not go into detail about that." Alec muttered to Magnus. We all started laughing.
"Okay, I know who I shall question. Jace?" Magnus called from his spot. When Jace heard his name, his head perked up. "Truth or dare?"
"Well, what do you want out of me? You'll get it either way."
"I have one for both."
"Okay, then truth. I don't want to try your dare. Those always end badly."
"This has been bugging me for a while. Who was your first kiss? I know that you had to have one. You said one time that you had kissed someone before you moved. I want to know who that person is. Plus, Clary and Simon might know the person."
Jace's eyes got wide and he looked over at me. "I-"
"C'mon, Jace. Everyone knows their first kiss. Mine was with Seb." Izzy said. My eyes got wide then and I looked over at Sebastian. He was looking at me too, but there wasn't any guilt. Something else maybe. "Oh, don't worry, Clary. It was experimental. We were little kids. Everyone's first kiss is with a friend."
"Clary." Jace said out of nowhere. We all looked at him and I was waiting for him to say something else. Realization then dawned on me. He was talking about his first kiss. Everyone started to get what he meant and started looking between us. Magnus looked like he already knew, but wanted to make sure.
"Seriously?!" Izzy asked.
"What?! When?! Where?! Where was I?! What happened?! Clare? Jace?" Simon said from his place on one of the chairs.
Sebastian was looking at me, but I couldn't meet his eyes. Everyone was looking at either Jace or me and I certainly wasn't going to meet their eyes. Jace was one of the people looking at me. "Clary?" Sebastian whispered into my ear. I looked over at him and he didn't seem angry or hurt. His expression was the same as it was when Iz said that her first kiss was Seb. I had no idea what my face looked like.
"It was one night at the barn. You were counting. I was going to hide with Clare. I found her crying and talked to her. When she almost stopped I kissed her. Her face had so much shock written on it." Jace said and started chuckling. "It was our first night alone in the barn. Her parents didn't come back until the next day. You remember? We were skipping rocks while Clary sat there zoned out. She was always in her head. I sometimes wished that I could go in there with her."
"I remember that day. She always zones out. I wish the same thing also. I never know what she's thinking about." Simon said.
"We found it! Though I don't think it's Izzy's!" Maia called as they came into the room.
"What did we miss?" Jordan asked.
"Not much. Alec trying to be a player. Magnus's obsession with glitter. My first kiss with Clare." Jace said, though he mumbled the last part. They caught it though and their faces were shocked. They didn't ask questions though.
"Okay, yeah that's Mom's. She won't mind though. She doesn't like that one. Let's drink! And keep playing!"
We got cups and poured some alcohol into the cups. We mixed it with some lemonade that was in the fridge. We continued playing and soon enough everyone had go. For my dare, they had me make out with Seb- which I did gladly. We weren't dunk by the time we started passing out, but we were close. I drank some water before going to sleep. I made Seb also because we had our date the next day. I slept beside Sebastian on the floor wrapped up in a blanket. I laid my head on his arm and fell asleep.
I was shaken awake. "Clary, c'mon get up."
"What?" I sat up, not thinking of my surroundings. Not even knowing where I was. It looked dark out still.
"Shh. We don't want to wake everyone up now, do we?" Jace whispered from my side.
"Jace. What are you doing?" Now remembering the sleepover, I whispered.
"I want to show you something."
"Why now? It's not even light out."
"Just c'mon. No one will be awake when we get back. It'll be real quick."
"Fine." I started to get up and lost my balance. I almost fell on top of Sebastian, but Jace caught me.
"You sure you're not drunk?"
"Shut up."
"Okay, let's go." Jace help me to my feet and took my hand. He started pulling me towards the stairs.
"Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise." I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off. "And don't say you don't like surprises. We already went over this in my car the first night." He turned his head and smirked at me.
"Okay, well what time is it?"
"5:30."
"God, you're just as bad as Iz."
"Nope. No where near it. I just want to show you this. You'll love it." He opened a door to reveal another staircase. He started pulling me up it and we came to another door, after a few minutes. "Here we go." He opened the door and I saw the night sky.
"Where are we?"
"It's the roof."
"Why are we here?"
"I'll show you." He started pulling me out on the roof and then he turned. There was a blanket and breakfast sitting on it. "We shall watch the sun come up- on the roof- and eat an amazing breakfast."
"Okay. That sounds like something we did when we were kids. Were you trying for that?"
"Yeah." Jace's face had a little embarrassment on it.
"It's lovely. C'mon. I'm hungry."
It was about thirty minutes before dawn started breaking through. We had pancakes, fruit, toast, and orange juice. It was really good. I was laying down when Jace told me to watch. I watch the first colors of light come into the sky. It reminded me of one time when we were kids.
Flashback
"C'mon, guys we're going to miss it!" I called to the boys. They were being very slow at getting out of bed. I was very excited to see my first sunrise. I couldn't hold my excitement all night. I hardly slept. The boys finally made it to where I was at the window and Jace opened the window for us. I let Simon go first and he helped me out to the roof. Jace came last and we all sat down waiting for the sun. We talked for a while until the sun came up.
"It's beautiful." Jace said from beside me. Our legs were dangling off the edge of the roof, but I wasn't worried about falling. All I saw was the sunrise in front of me.
"Is it prettier or less prettier than Clare?" Simon joked from the other side of me. "I think it may be the same."
"Nope. Clare's prettier." Jace said instantly.
"Someone's got a crush on Clare!" Si called.
"Si, you're the one that asked."
"Well, I think that Clare is prettier than the sunrise too. I still think you have a crush on Clare."
"Thank you guys, but no one has a crush on anyone." I said, still mesmerized by the beauty of the sunrise.
"I think Clare has a crush on someone. So does Jace. We all know Jace's crush." Si kept going.
"Yeah, that would be himself." I remarked and smiled.
"Who's your crush?" Si asked again.
"Can't say I have one."
"Everyone likes someone. C'mon. Who do you think is the cutest boy at school?"
"Yeah, who do you think is the cutest?" Jace pestered. I decided to go ahead and tell them one of the guys I found cute.
"Anthony." I muttered. I looked at Si's smiling face. He finally got something out of me. I looked over at Jace and saw his mock hurt expression.
"Why do you like him?" Simon asked, his smile still on his face.
"I don't know. He's cute. He's funny. His eyes are really dark, but so beautiful." I replied
"You don't think I'm cute?" Jace asked.
"Well-"
"JACE HAS A CRUSH ON CLARE! AND CLARE HAS A CRUSH ON ANTHONY!" Si yelled in my ear.
"Whatever. Let's go in before you're mom finds out we came out here." Jace said while getting up. He helped me up and through the window. All the while wondering if what Simon said was true or not.
End of Flashback
"What do you think?" Jace asked me, breaking me from the memory.
"It's beautiful. If only Si were here." I saw his expression and started laughing.
"That would be just great!" Jace replied. "I remember him pestering me all the time after that first sunrise."
"Is that why you dated Alex for like two days?"
"Yeah, she decided that she didn't want to date me anymore. I didn't really care."
"I thought she liked you."
"She did. She didn't like you. I would hang out with you more than her and she got really pissed. She decided she wasn't dealing with it." He chuckled a little. "Ah, what great memories we have. I remember Si telling Anthony to ask you out. He was shocked to find out you actually liked him. He didn't believe it."
"Si told him?"
"Yeah, he never asked you out though. He thought we were joking." Jace laughed some and I started blushing a little.
"Actually, he did ask me out." I muttered while hiding my blush.
"What? When?" Jace's face was pure shock.
"Well, I guess it would have been about two years ago and we broke up about a year ago."
"Really? A year? God, I missed a lot. What happened?"
"His dad got a new job and they had to move. I didn't want to try and keep a long distance relationship. It could have worked, I guess. I didn't date anyone anyways. I just didn't want to hold him back, I suppose. Now I'm with Seb. Is it just me or does he look kind of like Anthony?"
"His eyes and hair. The face is similar also. The height is different. Seb is tall and I remember Anthony being short."
"He always was short, but practically everyone is taller than me. It didn't really matter."
"Well, let's get back downstairs before someone wakes up."
"Okay. I have to start getting ready anyways."
We walked downstairs and found that everyone was still sleeping. I walked back over to my spot on the floor with Seb and laid down beside him. I really didn't feel like doing much right then. I knew Iz would try to dress me anyways. I would just wait for her to get up. My bag was beside me and I got my iPod out. I hit the shuffle button and turned to look at Seb. He was very beautiful. He seemed so peaceful while he was sleeping. For a while, all I did was look at Seb and listen to music. I started to trace his face, eyes, cheeks, nose, and lips with my finger. When I started tracing his lips, he twitched and started to wake up. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at me. A smile appeared on his face and leaned over to kiss me. It was a quick peck on the lips and then he spoke.
"You look very beautiful right now. I think the make-up smeared all over your face will be a new style. Also the crazy hair. It just looks great."
I rolled my eyes, but looked at my reflection anyways. There wasn't much messed up, except my hair. There is never hope for my hair. "You liar."
Instead of replying, he moved closer to me and leaned his head in. I leaned mine in and kissed him. I could definitely live with this. I really liked Sebastian.
"Love birds! Cut it out! I have to get Clary ready for her date with you!" Izzy called from her spot on the couch.
I smiled against Seb's lips that were lingering. I felt him smile also. I pecked his lips and started to get up. "No!" He whined and pulled me back to him. "Stay here with me."
"I have to get ready. We can do more of this later." I said with a laugh.
"Promise?" Sebastian was giving me butterfly kisses.
"Yes, but it won't happen if I don't get ready."
"Okay." He gave me one last kiss and reluctantly let me go. I got up off the floor and went over to Isabelle.
"Let's go girl. I have to tell you something. And get you ready. I am not waking Maia or Tess. They are grump-y in the mornings." Izzy said.
We walked up to her room and she shut the door. "Can you be a girl for a minute? Well, you're always a girl, but a girly girl. just for a sec."
"Yeah." I twirled my hair with my finger.
"Simon asked me out." She started smiling and it reached her eyes. I started squealing and Iz joined in. "And we're going out today!"
"Oh my God! We have to get you ready!"
"Don't forget yourself. You and Seb are so cute together!"
"Are we?"
"YES! Now, lets put on some music and start picking out some clothes."
It took three hours to get ready. One hour for showering and the like. Another for finding clothes. The last for hair and make-up. It took longer than normal because we were dancing like fools. When we were all finished, I was wearing a cute sun dress that came to my knees and Iz was wearing the most modest thing she could find. it was a white dress that just came to her knees. She allowed me to wear flats that had little bows on the tops. Iz was wearing white flats with nothing on them.
"Ready?" Iz asked while turning off the music.
"Yep! I think Seb will be ready." We started walking down the stairs and I saw Seb talking to Si. When Si saw us, he started smiling and Seb turned around. He looked me over while smiling. I don't know if he has ever looked at me without smiling.
"You look very beautiful." He said when I got close enough. He was wearing a polo shirt with khakis. He also had cologne on- which smelled good. I wrapped my arms around him.
"Why, thank you."
"Ready to go?"
"Yes. I think Izzy is done with me." He smiled and we looked over at Iz and Si. They were talking about something and smiling. They were so cute.
Seb took my hand and laced our fingers together. We started walking out of the house, hand in hand.
So I finished this chapter pretty early. It is shorter than the last one, but it would be too long with everything that I have to put in the next chapter. I hope that you like! And please tell me what you think!
