OK I'm soooo sorry that you needed to wait so long for another chapter, you have my permission to (mentally) kill me :p But hey at last I updated, right? :D
"What's wrong Iz?" I heard him say as soon as the door was opened, and I couldn't help but notice that he seemed really irritated. Apparently I wasn't the only one who didn't appreciate her interruption, and secretly I had to admit that I was really flattered by his reaction…
"I just want to have a little talk with you Jace... I really need to say something." She said loudly and slightly lisping. Well, I guess there was free champagne at the party… He sighed loudly, clearly showing that he wasn't happy with it, before he let her in. "Well hurry up then, I was just planning to go to bed…" he said as he closed the door. Phuh! Going to bed, yeah right! I thought by myself as I followed Izzy's feet with my eyes: she was not just tipsy, she was totally wasted! I heard how she plumped down on the bed and tried to be as silent as I could. I had no idea what she would say if she found me under Jace's bed. God I didn't even knew myself what I was doing under his bed! It seemed all so surrealistic…
"Welllll…" she started, but then she remained silent. "Sooo…" she started again, but again she stopped. "Izzy?" Jace said, and even though his voice sounded mostly irritated and warning, I still could hear how he was slightly concerned about her. Not that it was the first time she was drunk, hell no, but she would always be his "little" sister he needed to protect… "Okay okay, I'm just gonna say it!" she said, and after that she started an entire flood of words that didn't seem to stop. The fact that she was drunk didn't help a lot, so she was mainly talking about stuff that really didn't make sense, but at a certain moment she said something that made me almost burst out in laughter. "… And you know Jace? I really think you should be a bit friendlier to Clary! Make her feel at home and all that stuff. So she has the feeling that she is welcome and wanted and loved by ALL of us… You're just so mean to her!" she said, but even before Jace could answer she flied of to how her shoes hurt and that she was so tired. I could help but grin: Trust me Izzy, he had made me feel more than welcome…
After five more minutes of Izzy's monologue, Jace finally managed to get her out of his room. Only after she had finally promised that she would go straight to her room, he closed the door and leaned against it with his back. As I left my hiding place and sat down on the bed, he heaved a sigh and closed his eyes. "Ok, that was a bit-" "Hilarious?" I finished his sentence, still grinning as I thought about all the crazy things she had been saying. "Hmmm I was more thinking about something like 'embarrassing' or 'awkward'… Are you sure you heard everything clear?" he asked "If you're talking about how she talked about that 'one girl that you screwed because you were trying to show you friend that she was a slut' or that one time that you cried because Izzy had taken away your cuddle toy, than I certainly did!" "See, awkward!" He took a little pause. "God Clary, I really hope you aren't mad, because that first story really isn't true! I mean I only kissed her to prove my point! I didn't…" "Screw here?" He nodded ashamed as he came closer: "Really Clary, I swear it on my parents' grave! I did not have sex with that girl!" As he brought up his parents, I immediately knew he was being honest. "Hey! It's fine! I believe you!" I said as I grabbed his hand. "But I got to admit that there was something she said that made me think…" He immediately looked worried. "What? You can ask me anything!" "Well…" I said, acting insecure and ashamed, "I think you should be a bit more welcoming to me!"
His eyes widened as he noticed that I had been messing with him, and at this point, I could no longer hold my laughter. "Oh you cruel creature!" he shouted out, as he picked me up and threw me on the bed. There followed an entire tickle-attack, and I was begging him for mercy. When he finally stopped, I couldn't help but giggle-whisper "That's not so welcome of you Jace!" which sadly enough yielded me another tickle-attack. But it was definitely worth it…
A few minutes later we were laying down next to each other on his bed, staring at the ceiling and both heavily breathing. "I got a question for you…" I said as rolled on my side, leaning against the mattress with my elbow. He raised his eyebrows sarcastically. His wary attitude made me laugh, and laying my hand on my heart, I promised it was a serious question this time. He rolled his eyes and said "Shoot it, little drama queen!", but he didn't sound angry or irritated. He said it warm and lovingly, and my heart melted a bit as I looked into his eyes. "Why did you took off your shirt?" I asked, trying to concentrate on anything else but his bare chest that was so close to me. He laughed his husky laugh and answered: "I thought it would be more convincing to Izzy… That it would look as if I was planning to go to bed, so that she wouldn't bother me for too long." "Bother you?" I said with a smile. "Yes, bother me. I was doing something way more pleasant, and I was hoping to get back to it soon…" He laughed seductive at me, and I could not help blushing as I noticed the underlying meaning of his words. Not wanting to make it too easy for him, I retaliated: "And you thought that a bare chest would speed up the process… didn't you?" For a second he looked as if he was a little boy who had just been busted as he wanted to steal a cookie, and I laughed. "You know what?" I said, as I leant closer to him. "You were totally right…" and with that I brought my mouth even closer to his lips, my hands resting on his chest. He looked surprised as he followed my attempts to be seductive, and for once, it seemed like he was speechless. I closed the space between our lips, but at the last second, it turned away and gave him a quick peck on his cheek. "Goodnight Jace, I said with a triumphant smile, before I got of the bed. "Wait, what? Where are you going Clary?" he asked as he quickly climbed out the bed and followed me through the room. "I'm going to my room Jace… What did you think? That I was going to have sex with you tonight? I'm not a slut!" I said slightly offended. "Of course not! God why are you always so fiery?! I just wanted you to stay a little longer!" Now I was the one who felt as if I was rapped on the knuckles. I sighed guilty. "I'm a little bit of a drama queen, aren't I?" I said, and he smiled as he took me in his arms. "A little bit?" he asked teasingly. "Don't push your luck buddy!" I answered as I pushed him playful away. "I would not dare Ma'am!" he said as he held me even closer. "I'm just whishing my girl goodnight!" he laughed, before he gave me a long, knees-trembling kiss.
"Oh? That was 'just a goodnight?' for you?" I asked out of breath as we eventually broke the kiss. "It's not my fault you are looking so sexy in that dress of yours!" he said as his hand was running over the bare skin of my back. "Ha! You just don't got any self-restraint!" I said, before I quickly turned away from him. "I'm going, before you attack me again!" I said teasingly as I walked outside. Before I closed the door, I turned around for a last time. "Goodnight Jace." I whispered, and as he whispered back "Goodnight Clary", I slowly closed the door. A smile was plastered on my face, and I had the feeling that it would not disappear any soon…
