After what seemed like a long time, they arrived back at Lukes.
"So training, I suppose we should clear some of the things out of the lounge?"
"Yeah, I don't think Luke would like it if we broke his stuff" Clary laughed
After moving the lounge around, they had created a little more room.
"Ok so there isn't much room, so we are going to try hand to hand fighting, that ok with you?"
"Sure is, let me go change"
"No, stay in what you are wearing, if someone attacks you they aren't going to stop and make sure what you are wearing is comfortable" As Jace spoke, he got closer to Clary.
45 minutes later, they were both covered in sweat (clary more so than jace) and Clary was starting to slow. Jace dropped lower and grabbed Clary around the waist turning her around and flipping her onto her back.
"Owww" Clary cried out
"Sorry, I got carried away" Jace smirked in reply.
Lying on her back, now smiling back up to him "You think! anyway if we're done I want to have a quick shower, mum and Luke will be back soon and we don't smell overly nice"
"Man smell is not a favorite of yours?"
"No, now get off me" Clary replied as she tried to wiggle free of him.
Jace had his knees on either side of her and had pinned her onto the floor. Grabbing her hands as she tried to swat him off he moved them above her head and leant in to kiss her.
His lips reaching hers, she parted her lips to make way for his tongue to slip in. After kissing Clary for a few minutes like this, he released her hands and felt them as they ran down his back. He shivered as her fingers traced down the line of his back. Lifting him self up so he was kneeling back over her he pulled her up so she was sitting on his lap.
Clary lent back in towards Jace's mouth and they began kissing again. Her hands running through his golden hair as his rested on her hips.
"I thought you said you wanted a shower" Jace breathed into her neck
"I do, I do" she replied back to him, arching her head backwards as he continued kissing along her neck.
Suddenly, they were headed into the bathroom with Jace carrying Clary. Her legs hooked around him, as he held on to her around the waist. Flicking the lights on with a free hand and trying to help her take her shirt off. Setting her down on the bath mat, he stripped himself off, and helped her with her own clothes, after all sweaty singlets are not the easiest thing to remove.
Stepping into the shower, he felt the warm water running down him. Tilting his head back, he let the water run over his face and when he opened his eyes he says Clary staring at him.
"Enjoying the view?" He asks Clary
"Yes, thank you I am" Clary responds as she hops into the shower. Not wanting to get her hair wet again, she has tied it up in a clip and moves the shower head down. Picking up the loofah and shower gel she hands it to Jace.
"Ok ,I can take a hint, I smell of sweat" he laughs
"No, I washed you this morning"
"Ohh, yes you did" he grins, as he puts the shower gel on. "Turn around"
Clary faces the wall, Jace steps in closer and starts to rub the loofah up and down her back.
"You trained very well today"
"Thank you, I have a good teacher"
Moving to her arms, he moves the loofah as to cover her all over in soap. Getting down on the floor he kneels as he runs his hands up and down her legs to wash them
Clary can feel Jace now using his hands and not the loofah anymore, not that she minds. The loofah is a little scratchy after all, and Jace's hands are much softer against her skin. She notices him tapping at her leg and looks down, She see's him make a motion as to turn.
She is now facing him, running his hands along the front of her legs, spreading the soap all over her legs. Starting down at her ankles, and moving his hands up to her knees. She gets slightly excited as she can feel his hands getting higher closer to her more sensitive area's but he doesn't touch her there. When the soap is covering her whole legs, she notices he is deliberately avoiding touching her there. Making way to her stomach, he stands up and turns her around. Her soap covered back, now pressing against his stomach and chest. His hands, run against her stomach and torso ,spreading more soap over her body. They finally reach her breasts, and skim over her hardened nipples. He lightly starts to massage her breasts, and she leans back into him.
Feeling his hardness press into her back, she starts to move around more. Her back is slippery against him, and there is no friction what so ever. His hands are still on her body as she rests her head back on his shoulder.
Jace leaning into Clary whispers into her ear. "Baby, we can't get carried away like before, as much as I want to. They will be home soon"
"Your right, yes we should get out"
His hands still on her body, massaging her breasts. She doesn't want him to stop. She turns around quickly so that she is now facing him. His arms around her as she reaches up to kiss his mouth.
He opens his mouth up so that their tongues are dancing. As the kiss intensifies he notices her pushing against him. Trying to get closer and closer to him . Placing his hands on her bum he pulls her in. Her hands, moving up around his neck he never wants to let her go.
The bathroom is steaming up, as he realizes he must not have put the fan on. Its getting so hot in here, he makes a movement to turn down the hot water. As his hands reach the hot water tap, Clary takes hold of his erection. Catching him by surprise he turns the tap off more than expected and the water turns ice cold.
"Eeeep" Clary screams as the cold water hits her body.
"Oh god, I'm so sorry" Jace laughs.
Clary not finding it as funny as Jace as he was not hit by the sudden coldness.
"I guess thats one way to get me out of the shower" she replies sulkily as she steps out of the shower, looking for her towel.
"Well I would have stayed in longer, but we do have to get out".
Jace makes a move to follow her and picks up his own towel.
"At least you got the bubbles off?" He remarks to her.
"Yes well thats lucky" she replies a little coldly to him.
After wrapping his towel around his waist, he walks up behind her. Arms around her and asks
"Is everything ok? You seem unhappy?"
"No i'm fine"
"I know enough to know, when women say "i'm fine" they are most certainly not"
He turns her around facing her and says "So what is it"
"Well, its like you didn't want to touch me just now, you snuck into the change room today at Macy's, you then paraded around in your underwear, pin me down and kiss me like that, and I feel like you wouldn't let me touch you at all in the shower. I know i'm not great at it, but its not really a confidence booster when you pull away from me!"
"Oh, Clary. That's not true at all. I want more than anything for you to touch me, whenever you want and wherever you want. I just don't want you to feel like it has to be sex all the time. Of course I enjoy sex with you, but I was fine before we started having it. And I don't want you to feel like i'm only touching you for sex"
"Oh, so you do want me to"
"Yes you silly girl. Now go and get dressed before I change my mind and take you on the bathroom floor not caring about when your parents get back"
Giggling at that, Clary walks off to get dressed. Pulling on some Jeans and a top she makes her way over back to the lounge room to set the furniture back.
"So did you take that pill yet babe?" Jace calls out as he gets dressed in the bedroom.
"Shit, no not yet i'll take it now" Clary rummages through her bag and takes it out. Grabbing a glass of water to swallow it down with, she pops it into her mouth and puts the box in the bin.
"Done" she calls out to Jace.
"Good, good. At least we don't have to stress about that now. I mean i'm sure everything would have been fine but now we know. As long as you remember to take your other one every day?"
"I sure will, I'll prob take it at night before bed. Now what shall we do before they get home"
"Well you said you were tired before, so did you want to watch a movie and just relax?"
Clary thinking to herself that was a great idea. Walks over to the dvd's and picks up spiderman.
"Did you want to watch this? You can see the kiss I was talking about earlier?" She asks Jace
"Sure thing" As he slumps down on to the couch.
Clary settling in beside him. Jace lifts up his arm, and she nestles her self into the nook of his body.
"Hello, Clary? Jace? We're back" Jocelyn calls out.
"I found them Jocelyn, they are asleep on the couch" Luke chuckles
"Oh, I wonder how long they have been asleep? what are they watching anyway?" Jocelyn walks over to the TV to see that spiderman is playing. 44 minutes in. They can't have been asleep long. Jocelyn deciding to leave them a little longer heads into the kitchen to sort dinner out.
Half an hour later, Clary wakes to find the lights on in the apartment and hears Luke and her mother laughing in the kitchen.
Slipping out from underneath Jace, she heads into the kitchen.
"Hey guys, good to see you"
"Hey Clary, yes its good to be back. We had a few things to look out whilst we were out, but we certainly didn't think it would be an overnight trip!" Luke responds to her.
Clary walking up to hug her mum, "What are you cooking?"
"We grabbed some stuff on the way back, and I know you have mentioned Jace likes mango. So I though Mango Chicken and Rice?"
"thanks mum, that's great I"m sure he will love it"
"Did someone say Mango?" Jace popped his head around the corner. "Hi Ms Fray" he smiles and nods his head over to "Luke"
"Hi Jace" they reply.
"So tell me all about the venue" Clary asks them
As Jocelyn delves into the wedding conversation, explaining what the venue looks like. Jace sits there thinking how normal it all is. Jocelyn cooking dinner ,Luke busying him self over on his computer. This must be what its like to live in a normal family. Sure he loved it at the institute but its not exactly homey feeling.
Jocelyn is cutting the vegetable as Clary is over at the stove top, getting ready to put the rice on. Once the vegetables are cut up, Jocelyn heads over to the bin to discard of the scraps
"What the hell is this?" She demands.
Clary looks over towards her mother.
"Well, you have some explaining to do" Luke walks over from the computer and asks whats happening. Jocelyn explains to him what she has found. They are both standing in the kitchen. Jocelyn with her arms crossed and Luke with his hands on his hips.
"Clary we left for one night and I find this? And you (as she turns towards Jace) I expected as much from you, but did you have to be so reckless with my daughter?"
"Mum, its not Jace's fault" Clary starts to explain to her mother
"NOT HIS FAULT! I KNOW HOW THESE THINGS WORK CLARY!" Jocelyn's yells at Clary.
"Ms Fray if I can explain?"
"Explain? No, and I think its best if you leave. You are not welcome here anymore"
"MUM you cannot kick Jace out"
"I can and I am. Do not make me ask you again" she glares at Jace. Jocelyn has stormed out from the kitchen and gone to her bedroom. Luke follows her to try calm her down saying to Jace "Its prob for the best if you do get going mate, at least until she calms down"
Jace stands up from the bar stool he is sitting at, and makes a motion to leave. Clary tries to stop him from leaving. Jace places his arms on either side of hers
"I think its best if I leave, perhaps if I am not here she won't be so hard on you"
Clary looking up at him, is visibly upset.
"Its all my fault, if I hadn't been so stupid as to leave the box in the rubbish she would never have known"
"Babe, its alright. Look if it gets too hard here tonight your always welcome at the institute you know that right? As he is talking to her he pulls her in for a hug. Placing a kiss on her forehead, he then tells her "It's probably for the best that I leave, I am so sorry though"
Clary walks Jace to the door, kisses him goodbye and sadly watches him leave. How can such a perfect weekend be ruined so quickly.
Walking back through the apartment she notices the rice starting to boil over. Moving towards to stove to turn it off. Not sure what to do now, whether to keep cooking dinner or not. She doesn't want to be near her mother after what happened earlier. Deciding to leave the cooking, she retreats to her bedroom. Taking her stele from on top of her drawers, she draws the lock ruin, and also silence. She wants to be alone. To cry without her mother and Luke hearing her.
Throwing her self down on her bed, she lays her head on the pillow. Bringing her hands underneath her head, she feels something crinkle between her fingers under the pillow.
My Beautiful Clary,
Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
Always yours, Jace. x
She cannot stop the tears from running down her cheeks. She shouldn't have found this until later tonight. Not until her perfect weekend was over and she was ready for bed. Instead she lays on her bed, Tears streaming her face as she thinks of the argument that is inevitable with her mother.
