Chapter 9

"What the hell is going on?" Isabelle said covering her eyes.

"What does it look like Isabelle?" Jace snapped at her covering me up with the blanket.

"Did you two have sex?" She asked still covering her eyes.

"Isabelle is it really any of your business?" I asked getting out of bed to find some clothes.

I picked up Jace's jeans and tossed them to him. He winked at me, making me blush as I walked into my closet.

"Well yes actually, Jace is my brother." Isabelle said.

"You sleep with my brother." I said pulling on a t-shirt and leggings. I walked out of the closet to see Isabelle still standing and Jace sitting on the bed with only his jeans on.

"Yeah, but that's different. We are in a relationship." She answered.

"So are Clarissa and I." Jace said as I sat down next to him.

"What? Since when?" Isabelle said taking her hands off her eyes looking down at us.

"It doesn't matter, what matters is that we're together." Jace snapped standing up.

"Awe! You guys are so cute together!" Isabelle squealed and walked over and gave me a hug.

"Isabelle, what did you come in here for?" I asked as she removed her arms from me.

"Oh well Jonathan got a call from Magnus, and well we have to leave tomorrow." She said stepping back.

'What?' I thought to myself, my heart dropped. 'Jace has to leave?' I glanced at him, he was starring at Isabelle with widen eyes.

"What? Magnus said we could stay till Thursday?" Jace snapped standing up from the bed.

"There isn't anything we can do. Magnus said we have to be home tomorrow, or the tour is off. We can't afford to cancel it." Isabelle said.

"I can't just leave Clarissa, she's all by herself." Jace said and looked back at me.

"She could always come with us..." Isabelle stated.

"I… cant I have my gallery opening tomorrow." I stuttered and looked up from the floor to Isabelle.

"We don't leave till 9 tomorrow night. What times your opening?" She said

"It starts at 4, and ends at 7." I said and looked at Isabelle. Her eyes widen and she smiled, she jumped up and down.

"Then you can come with us!" She squealed.

"Isabelle she can't just drop everything and come with us." Jace said looking from me to her.

"Why not? We do it all the time." She said and looked at Jace who was giving her a glare; she sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "Well at least think about it ok? It'd be nice to have another girl on tour." With that she walked out the door. I sighed and placed my head in my hands, raking my fingers through my knotty hair.

"Are you ok?" Jace asked as he sat down next to me on the bed.

"I guess. I don't want you to go." I sighed into my hands.

"I don't want to go either, but I can't stay." He said and cupped my chin pulling my face to his.

"I know, it wouldn't be fair if you guys had to cancel your tour because of me." I said wrapping my arms around his neck.

He stroked my cheek with his finger; he pressed his forehead against mine, closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

"I don't want to leave you." He whispered.

"You have to." I whispered feeling my heart break in my chest.

"But I don't want to." He says and kisses the bridge of my nose."I don't want to let you go."

"Then hold me now." I whispered and kissed him. We leaned back down onto the bed, wrapped in each other's arms.

The rest of the day went by in a matter of seconds, not really but it felt like it. We just laid there wrapped in each other's arms, we watched the sun go down under the trees, and watched the moon rise and join the stars in the sky.

"You're so beautiful." Jace whispered into my hair. I looked up from starring out my windows and looked into his beautiful golden orbs.

"You're a terrible liar, you know that right?" I said teasing. All he did was roll his eyes and shift so that he was on top of me.

"Why Mr. Herondale, what on earth are you doing up there?" I asked looking up at his beautiful face.

"Starring at an angel Miss. Morgenstern." He said taking hold of my hands and pressing them in to the mattress. He lent forward a bit so that his face was hanging over mine in a teasing distance. He lets go of my hands and places his cold hands on my hips, tracing his fingers around my belly button, making me squirm under his touch. His coldness sent shivers up and down my spine, forming goose bumps on my pale white skin. I closed my eyes savoring his touch as his fingers traced under my breasts, then traveling to my navel.

"Are you tried?" He asked bending down and kissing my belly button.

"Mhmm." I answered realizing how exhausted I actually was.

"I'll take that as a yes." I laughed and laid down beside me, I turned my self onto my side so that I as facing him. I close my eyes and rest my head against the pillows; I intertwine one of my legs with Jace's. He brushes his hand against my cheek I smile at his touch; I feel his warm breath against my cheek as he leans forward and presses his lips to my forehead. He detaches his leg with mine and goes to get off the bed; I lean forward and grab his arm.

"Don't leave please." I plead hoping he'll stay. "At least until I've fallen asleep." He looks down at me and smiles. He lies back down and wraps his arms around my waist; I nuzzle my cheek into his shirt. I feel sleep creep up on me, I listen to the steady beat of his heart as I give in to the sleep.
