Hope you enjoy and please review would love to hear your thoughts...by the way I know this is quite the fluffy story but I can't seem to help it when it comes to these two.
TMI belongs to Cassandra Clare not me sadly
Chapter 21
Jace POV
After saying good night to Clary I pull her close to me pressing a kiss to the top of her head. We just lay there for a while wrapped in each others arms. I hear Clary's breathing start to even out as she starts to fall asleep, a while later I feel myself beginning to drift off.
The following morning I wake up alone in bed, which causes me to instantly sit up alert and looking around trying to spot where Clary could have gone. I get up taking a quick shower before getting dressed and rushing out of my room hoping to find Clary somewhere in the house. I head to Izzy's room thinking she may have gone back there when she woke up, so I quietly knock before peeking into the room finding Izzy still asleep in bed with Maia asleep on an air mattress next to the bed. I quietly shut the door hoping not to wake either girl. I head down the hall towards the living room when I hear someone talking in the kitchen, so I head there instead.
"What time are we supposed to be there?"
"Okay I'll get dressed and be home in a couple of minutes."
"Love you too Jonny and I'll see you soon." Clary says before turning around to see me standing in the doorway.
I smile as Clary comes over pulling me into a hug. "Morning Clare-bear, you know usually when I a guy goes to bed with a girl he prefers not to wake up alone." I whisper into her ear before pulling back and placing a chaste kiss on her cheek, "I won't hold it against you though because I love you Clare-bear."
"I love you too Jacey." Clary says giving me a quick peck. "By the way good morning, I would have been in bed when you woke up but Jon called." Clary says smirking up at me.
"Really now," I say with a sly smirk, "so what did good old Jon boy need?" I ask leading Clary to the living room to sit down.
Clary stops us at the head of the hallway leading to the bedrooms, "I have to head home Jace, my father is being released from the hospital, so Jon and I are going to go pick him and mom up." Clary says heading toward Izzy's bedroom.
A couple of minutes later Clary comes back out of the room shutting the door quietly behind her. She heads my way with a slight smile.
"Do you want me to come with, because I will if you want." I say as Clary stops right in front of me.
"No that's okay. I appreciate the offer but I think were going to have a relaxing family day; however, maybe you could come over for dinner tonight," she says while I light blush appears on her cheeks.
"Sure that sounds good just send me a text with a time to show up. Do you want me to bring anything?" I ask her slightly nervous as I have never done the whole sit down to dinner with your girlfriends parents.
"Just yourself Jace. I will see you later tonight." she says heading for the door, but before she can open the door I clear my throat.
"Clare-bear did you forget something?" I ask with a smirk.
Clary looks over her shoulder at me, "no I don't think so I packed up all my stuff in my bag which I have."
"Ouch I'm hurt angel...no goodbye kiss." I say to her pretending to look hurt.
Clary turns towards me looking shocked and extremely red in the face. "Clare-bear you need to breathe." I tell her.
"Oh...my...God!" Clary says dropping her bag and running towards me. I open my arms pulling her into a hug when she gets close enough. "I'm so sorry Jace, I can't believe that I was going to leave without a kiss." she says pulling my head towards her and slamming her lips to mine. I deepen the kiss and we just stand there together for a couple minutes until we had to end the kiss with each of us breathing heavily. After a couple minutes Clary looks up meeting my eyes, "I hope that makes up for almost walking out with no kiss." she says with a smirk.
I press a chaste kiss to her lips, "you are amazing Clare-bear." I say walking her to the door.
"I love you Jace." Clary says as she walks out the front door.
"I love you too Clare-bear, text me later angel." I say watching her head home.
Clary POV
I walk out the front door of the Lightwood's house and make my way towards my own house next door since Jon and I are heading to the hospital to pick up our parents. I twist the doorknob and find it unlocked so I walk in calling out, "Jon...I'm home," as I head to my bedroom to drop off my stuff before we leave.
"Hey sis you ready to head out?" Jon asks from my doorway.
"Yea I'm ready whenever you are so lets go." I say walking out of my room heading for the front door.
"Wait up there speedy." Jon calls out from behind.
I smirk and say, "or you could hurry up slow poke."
"Oh someone thinks they're funny now that she's dating the sarcastic Jace Herondale himself." Jon says coming up next to me wrapping his arm around my shoulder smirking.
I lightly smack him on the chest as we get into the car. Jon hops in the drivers seat backing the car out of the driveway like a speed demon before tearing up the road. I grab onto the door and shoot Jon a glare, "so I forgot to ask you when I first got home but how was your date last night?" I ask.
Jon doesn't take his eyes off the road but he does get a shocked look on his face as well as going a little pale muttering something under his breathe. I continue to stare at him knowing he will eventually get uncomfortable and spill. We pull into the hospital parking lot and as soon as Jon parks and turns the car off he turns to face me asking, "how did you know about the date?" I raise my eyebrow knowingly at him, "come on Jon did you honestly think we wouldn't notice Jace and Alec when they came home last night during girl's night."
"That doesn't mean I had a date Rissa," he says turning away.
"Jonny don't even bother trying to lie. When the guys came home last night I asked Jace why they were home because we figured you all would have stayed over at our house, but Jace told me you kicked the two of them out since you had to get ready for a date." I tell him before continuing on, "so I'm going to ask you again how was your date and don't worry I'm not going to tell the parents." I say giving him a bright smile.
"Fine Miss Smartypants, my date went fine thanks for asking." he replies with a slight blush.
I undo my seatbelt and lean over placing a soft kiss to his cheek, "don't be embarrassed Jonny, I'm happy you've met someone your interested in...so who is she?" I ask pulling away and getting out of the car.
"Nice try Rissa." Jon says pulling me into a hug before we head for the entrance.
"Oh come on Jonny you know who I'm dating." I say looking up at him.
"Well that tends to happen when you start dating one of my best friends and your my little sister of course I'm going to know who your dating how else am I supposed to intimidate the guy and make sure he treats you well." Jon says smirking at me.
I roll my eyes as we walk into the hospital, "you know I love you Jonny but I can take care of myself." I say as we head towards our father's room.
"You may be old enough and strong enough to take care of yourself Rissa, but I will always be there to protect you as well as to catch you when you fall." Jon says hugging me as we reach the room.
"Awe...I love seeing you two when your like this." our mother Jocelyn says coming to give us each a hug while our father just smile sitting up in bed.
I pull out of my mom's hug making my way over to my father, "daddy how are you feeling?" I ask giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"I'm feeling pretty good princess, I can't wait to be back at home wearing my own clothes and able to sleep in my own bed." Valentine says.
"You guys ready to head home?" Jon asks.
"Yes Jonathan we can head home." Jocelyn said.
"Why the rush Jon, you got plans today or something? Because I thought we were having a family day." Valentine said getting off the bed with mom's help.
"Just want to get out of here, hospitals give me the creeps." Jon says heading for the exit.
We all head back to the car with Jon and I getting into the backseat while my mom helps my father into the passenger seat before going around to the drivers seat. I spend the drive home looking out the window and watching the outdoors go by until someone says my name, "huh...what?" I say turning my head to the interior of the car.
"Clary I asked if you would like to stop somewhere to eat." Jocelyn said quickly looking into the rear view mirror.
"Oh ya that sounds good but shouldn't we just go home. I don't want dad to over do it." I say looking at my parents.
"Princess I'm fine to go out for a nice family lunch." Valentine says looking back at me with a smile.
"Well then I think you should pick the place to eat. Oh by the way I was wondering if it was okay that I invited Jace over for dinner tonight? If not I can call him to tell him plans have changed." I say to both of my parents.
"I think it would be wonderful to have Jace come over for dinner. Ask him what is favourite meal is and tell him to be at the house for 6pm Clary." Jocelyn says.
"Yes have him come over princess it would be nice to get to know Jace a little better." Valentine says while reaching back to give my hand a quick squeeze.
"Oh and Jonathan if you have a new girl in your life she's more then welcome to come over as well." Jocelyn says smiling while quickly looking back at Jon in the rear view mirror.
I see Jon shake his head and go a little pale out of the corner of my eye. "No that's okay mom there's no one in my life, but thanks for the offer." Jon says before quickly looking out the window.
I feel a little guilty like this whole awkward moment is my fault, because I brought up wanting Jace to come over for dinner tonight. I pull out my cell to text Jace telling him when to be at the house while also asking him what his favourite meal is so that mom can make it tonight. Since I already have my phone out I decide to also send Jon a quick text telling him sorry for getting him into this. A couple seconds later my phone beeps alerting me that a new text has been received.
Chili Clare-bear. I love chili and see you at 6pm angel ~ J
I smile at the text before sending at quick message back saying that I would see him at 6pm and that I love him. "Mom he said that he loves chili." I say right before my cell beeps again. This time when I look down at the cell I see that the message is from Jon.
Not entirely your fault Rissa. ~ Jonny
I don't want the parentals to get on your case about your personal life now that I'm with Jace. ~ Rissa
Don't worry sis that's my problem not yours but thanks. Luv you Rissa. ~ Jonny
Luv you too Jonny ~ Rissa
I reach across the seat taking Jon's hand and giving it a light squeeze. We pull up to our favourite restaurant Taki's; we all get out heading for the entrance. We sit down at a table looking at the menu's until Kaelie the waitress comes up asking to take our orders. I notice her watching Jon and wonder if she's the girl he went on a date with, but when I notice him not even looking at her I figure it's unlikely plus I know she's one of Jace's exes.
After about an hour we finish up eating and make our way back to the car. We stop at the grocery store on our way home, where mom quickly runs in grabbing a bunch of stuff for dinner tonight then we head home. Jon helps dad into the house while I help mom bring in the groceries she picked up at the store.
"You need any help with getting dinner ready?" I ask bringing in the last of the groceries.
"Sure that would be wonderful thank you for asking honey." my mom says.
Mom decides to not only make chili but to also make some of her delicious cheesy garlic bread as well as some bruschetta. I give the chili a couple stirs before setting the lid back down to let the chili simmer. While the food cooks I decide to go take a quick shower and get changed. I blow dry my hair after the shower, then I decide to get dressed in a nice off the shoulder top with a cute knee high black skirt. After I'm dressed I head back into my bathroom to curl my hair leaving it down in loose curls and put on a little make-up.
"Clary. Jace is here." Jocelyn calls from the bottom of the stairs.
"Be right down mom." I shout putting on some lip gloss before heading for the stairs.
Until next time...
