I feel bad that I'm not updating as much as before, so I decided, why not write during Chinese class? So that is what I'm doing now. Right after a Chinese test I am writing the next chapter.

Disclaimer: TMI and TIWHiLL do not belong to me, neither do the characters, plot and personalities.

ENJOY! AFTER U READ, REVIEW!

3 of the 4 weeks Jace was staying at Burnsash were wasted on avoiding Clary. He mentally scolded himself for being so stupid. She may have been abundantly rude, but everyone has their times.

As he sauntered down the street with Clary trailing not too far behind him, he thought of all the things they could have done in the time. Jace desperately wanted to forgive Clary immediately., but if he did, Clary's version of his demeanor would change exceptionally.

"Hello, Jace?" Clary asked. She had probably asked a question a couple times before since her voice was tinged with annoyance.

"Hmm? Yes?" Jace replied, trying to seem normal.

"I said," Clary began exasperatedly, "we should go before that mob of screaming females comes here."

Jace took off without answering or looking back. He heard Clary laugh behind him, and he twisted to look at her. There was no mob coming, just a doubled over Clary. With fake irritation, he stalked up to her then slapped the back of Clary's head lightly.

"You tricked me!" Jace declared.

Clary rolled her eyes. "No crap sherlock."

"Why don't you just say sh-" Clary slapped a hand onto his mouth. When Jace finally stopped struggling against her hand, Clary released the prison holding his lips together. "Well! As I was saying before you so rudely interrupted me. I was going to comment on how rude that was." No matter how well Jace acted, he couldn't conceal the smile playing along his lips.

"I thought you were suppose to be mad at me," Clary acknowledged.

Immediately, Jace smacked a hard frown on his face. "I am."

Shaking her head, Clary continued to walk down the street. Jace effortlessly followed behind her.

"Where are you planning to go?" Clary asked when Jace finally fell into stride behind her.

"Where are we planning to go. Actually, I really have to go to one of my scenes, your welcoming to watch all this-" Jace gestured to his body, "- act."

"Lead the way goldilocks."

~* o*~*o *~

Jace slid off his shirt revealing his sweaty bare chest. He felt self-conscious with Clary watching him from just a few yards away. Aline strutted up to him in a revealing bikini. Not even a bikini. It was literally just two dots of cloth covering her nipples and a triangle over her... private area. Even the line of fabric on her behind was sunk deep into her crack.

"You going to change into your swim trunks in front of me?" Aline said seductively running a finger along Jace's abs.

Backing away, Jace replied with no emotion in his voice. "No thank you Ms. Penhallow." Then he threw himself into the changing room bringing his outfit along with him.

Even Jace looked away as he slipped off his jeans - not his skin tight boxers - and slid on his baggy swim trunks. The nasally voice of Aline was no longer audible from where Jace was, so he rapidly made his way to the set before she showed herself.

"One minute everyone!" The director shouted from a tall, wooden chair.

In impossibly tall heels, Aline strode up to the set. The camera man gazed at her with desire. Aline remarked his glance and kicked her heels at him with a growl.

Without another glance, the director shouted, "TAKE ONE!"

Right before the scene began, Jace shot a glance at Clary. He forgot entirely that this was the kissing scene. He hoped Jace transferred the message properly.

"John. I know how hard this must be for you, but-but it's-" Aline acted.

Jace held a finger to her lips. "Don't."

Aline clawed at his neck and drew him closer. Their lips touched and slid over each other. Even though she wasn't meant to, Aline slithered her tongue along Jace's teeth. He shivered but still grasped her waist. Finally, Aline pushed him back.

"No-no John, I can't do this. You know what must happen, you cannot be doing this."

Before Jace answered, he saw the space Clary had been was empty. His eyes widened and he shoved passed Aline's shoulder harshly sending her hurling towards the ground.

"JACE!" She shrieked.

Jace sprinted down Clary's street, and spotted the small moving dot of Clary further down.

"CLARY!" He roared, hopeful that it was loud enough for her to hear.

Either way - if she had heard it or not - she didn't turn and kept striding down the street.

Ok, ok. Did you guys all watch that Shadowhunter's teasers? I hate the actor for Jace. And who is the girl with Simon? But guess what... LADY MIDNIGHT. The new cover is like... meh. Not the best. I love the infernal devices thing thing.
