Love Story: Chapter Twelve
I Don't Own The Mortal Instruments
Clary's Point of View:
When I got home no one was home, so I went to the kitchen and got out the veggie burgers and buns. While I heated up a pan on the stove all I could think about is how Jace wanted to kiss me and then acted as if we were just friend when he asked for a hug. Like hey were just as good friends as you are with Izzy so you can hug me too. What the hell Jace? I like you in a different way than that. I thought you liked me a lot too, if you didn't why did you try to kiss me. Conflicted I put my burger on the pan and listened to the sizzle, waited till it browned and flipped it again. While I went to the cabinet for a plate I heard the doorbell ring.
It was Simon. 'Screw you Clary for thinking it would be Jace' I thought to herself as I opened the door for him. "Come in, I've got to get this burger off the stove, do you want one?" I asked.
"Sure Clary, I was going to go to bed at Izzy's." Simon said to me and when I gave him a confused look he said, "In the guest room Jeez Clary." I laughed and took my burger off and put another one on for him. I squeezed some whole grain mustard on the bun and put the sandwich together and bit in. When his was done we sat on the couch in the living room and ate while watching anime.
Finally I broke the silence and asked Simon, "So, how are you planning to ask Izzy go out with you. Its kind of obvious that she likes you, so what cha going to do?" He choked on his burger and sprayed a chunk on his sleeve.
"She likes me?" Simon looked like he just realized that unicorns are real after thinking they weren't. "If she does then can't I just say 'hey will you go out with me?'"
"No, Si." I took a breath. 'he is so innocent' I thought. "You have to make her think that if she doesn't say yes that you could die from an instant heartbreak.
"And how do I do that?" He used his hands to gesture that I needed to keep going. "Wait I could do something very romantic for her like flowers or something."
I smiled, "Yea that's a good idea and how would you present them to her and say it?"
He looked very stumped, "Maybe I could sneak up behind her at the end of the school day and be holding flowers and have her turn around while I am down on one knee and ask her to go to Taki's on Wednesday night? What do you think?"
I truly thought that was a great idea and think that if he did that without chickening out and stuttering something along the lines of 'G-ooo with me ta-ooo Taki tomorrow?' that would be great. "I actually think that would be a great idea. Do you think that you could do that without chickening out?"
He swept his hand infront of his face as if saying 'no problem!' "Of course, how could I mess that up?" I personally thought of a few ways, he isn't the most graceful of people. While we finished our food he seemed to be lost in thought, most likely imagining how he was to ask her out. When he was done he continued to stare in the same place as he was before.
"Si, you alright?" He nodded cleared his throat and said,
"Thanks for the burger, I'm going to head back to Izzy's place. Thanks for helping me Clary, see you tomorrow." He got up put his stuff away and left without saying another word.
'Well that was weird' I thought. I put away my stuff too, changed into my nightgown, brushed my teeth, hair, and washed my face. I got into bed and started to imagine the possible ways Jace could ask me out. All seemed like they would never happen.
