A/N: Well I'm baaaaccckkk! Woohh! Yea its not a woo moment but I felt it deserved a woo at this time. I feel really bad that I left all you hanging for the Legend-wait for it- dary date that Jace and Clary are going on. Yea I should stop noe nad get to the story! To the story and Beyond!

Clary:

"Jace, where are we going?" I asked him as he led us to his car.

"Clary, it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you where we were going now would it?" he told me with a smirk.

I gave a huff to him and sat in my seat looking out the window as trees flashed past us. I looked ahead to see the trees thinning out and the gravel being replaced by fine grained sand with the ocean a few yards behind. I looked back at him with a confused look to see a lopsided smile on his face, but he kept looking to the road. After a few more minutes of driving, he pulled into a parking spot on the beach and looked towards me. He unbuckled his seatbelt ( gotta be safe while driving right? Hahahaha) and leaned towards me to capture my face gently in his.

"Clary, you look so beautiful tonight. I can't believe how lucky I am to have the right to call you mine. You have changed everything about me and I feel as if I haven't done anything for you. Before I would only be with a girl for pleasure, but with you I don't just want pleasure; I want to know every single thing about you. What makes you laugh, smile, cry or anything else. I also want you to know everything about me and what makes me feel certain ways. But most of all, I want you to know that I will protect you from anything and I won't let anything harm you, I care for you way too much to let any of these things happen." He said while looking into my eyes.

I didn't notice that I was crying until I felt Jace rub his thumb underneath my eyes and kiss my tears away. I reached my hands up and kept his hands held to my face.

"Jace, you are the most sweetest person I have ever known. I am completely yours and no one will be able to take me away from you unless by force. You never have to go back to the way you were before, I promise that I will not lie to you or break your trust in me. You deserve someone that will love you unconditionally and someone that would want to care for you as much as I do." I told him.

"Clary, you said love, do you love me Clary?" he asked.

Did I love him? Sure, I knew that I would never care about someone like I cared about Jace, but was I ready to tell him that I loved him. He proved that he was worthy of my love and it seemed as if my dad has accepted Jace as my boyfriend. Jonathan has never liked any of my boyfriends but I knew that he liked Jace out of all of them. I didn't realize I was thinking for so long and that Jace started hyperventilating and letting go of my hands. I grabbed them and held them tightly in my hand so that he wouldn't pull away from me.

"Jace, I think in time that I will come to love you, but right now I don't love you." I told him sadly.

I saw the fire in his eyes dim a bit and felt my heart flutter a bit at that, but I knew it was the truth I had told.

"But, I do care about you so much that it hurts me to say that to you, but I don't think that either of us are ready to say that to each other. I know in time that I will love you and we will be happy as we are now. Now let's go on that date you planned for us. I don't want you upset over something that will eventually happen." I told him.

He was still looking down as I was talking so I decided to force him to respond in a way that I knew would always work. I let go of his hands and cupped his face with mine to bring his eyes to mine. I saw hurt in them but behind the hurt I saw care and something else I couldn't yet describe. I leaned forward and connected my lips to his so I wasn't yet kissing him but I could feel him. I leaned forward a bit so more pressure was put on his lips and felt him respond instantly. He lifted his hands to my face and pulled me closer to him. I moved my hands from his face to the back of his neck. His hands travelled rom my face to my waist and he angled his face to deepen the kiss more. His tongue lingered against my lips asking for entrance and I gladly let him in. His tongue explored the caverns of my mouth and met mine for a battle of dominance to occur. I moved my hands up into his hair and tangled in his blond, silky locks. He pulled my closer around his waist and I found myself in his lap somehow. Jace's hands moved from my waist down to my hips and started to knead the fabric there a bit. I gave a slight gasp and he tool the opportunity to put his tongue back into my mouth and massage my tongue. I giggled slightly at the sensation and pulled back from the kiss to lean my head on his shoulder. He gave a slight shaky breath and kissed the side of my face.

"Are you upset that I don't love you Jace?" I asked him.

"Clary, I will never be upset with you ever. I'm just disappointed that I haven't proven to you that I have changed and am worthy of your love." He told me.

I picked my head up from his shoulder and forced him to look me in the eye.

"Jace, you have proven yourself over and over again that you are worthy of my love and you have already earned it. I just don't think that I am worthy of your love because I'm just normal while you are perfect in every sense."

"Clary, I am not perfect and the only perfect person here is you. You are the most beautiful person I know, you see the good in everyone and try to change for the better even if it doesn't work and that is why you are perfect in every way. I wouldn't ask for another girlfriend." He said leaning his forehead against mine.

I smiled at him widely and gave him a kiss on the tip of his nose. He leaned his head up and captured my lips with his and started a sweet and soft kiss. I captured his face with my hands and kept him there for some time. After what I thought to be five minutes, I pulled back and saw happiness in his eyes.

"Come on Jace, we still have that date you promised me. I don't want any of your efforts to please me wasted." I told him.

"Alright, I was hoping that we could stay here and continue our conversation." He said with a smirk.

"Come on lover boy."

I opened his door and got out of the car and waited for him to get out of it. He gave a deep sigh and got out of the car to head for the trunk. He pulled a basket out as well as a blanket and grabbed my hand. I laced my fingers through his and we headed towards the beach. He led me towards a secluded place on the beach where we would have a perfect view of the sun setting. Once we were there, he let go of my hand and took the blanket and placed it onto the sand for us to sit on it. I sat down on the blanket with the basket next to me and started to take food out of the picnic he brought me. I tool out cheese sandwiches, apples and bottled water he brought. He sat down behind me and I leaned against his chest while we ate our sandwiches. He cut up the apples and handed them to me to eat or feed to him. I would feed him an apple and he would chew it then kiss me on the lips, leaving me tasting his apple lips. I giggled slightly whenever he would kiss me on the throat leaving it sticky with apple juice. He wrapped his arms around me after we finished our food and water and we sat watching the sun set behind the ocean. I gave a gasp as the sun was setting showing so many colors in the sky of clouds. My eyes started tearing up a bit at the beauty and Jace just squeezed me tighter letting me know that he understood why I was crying. I turned around to look at him and saw the same thing in his eyes that I saw before. Without thinking I leaned forward into him and crashed my lips onto his. He blinked in surprise, but relaxed into the kiss some more. I wrapped my arms around his neck tighter, pulling my body tightly to his. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kept me there as he deepened the kiss. I lingered my tongue at his lips and he immediately allowed me entrance into his mouth. Our tongues wrestled for dominance and soon he won. I gave resigned sigh, but continued to kiss him. We continued to heavily make out for a long time until the sun disappeared.

"Jace, we should be getting back now." I told him leaning back.

"But Clary, we were just having a scintillating conversation that I would really like to finish." Jace told me kissing the tip of my nose.

"I know that you want to finish, but I'm pretty sure that my Dad wouldn't like to know that his little girl was out on the beach making out with her boyfriend until the daylight came. I don't want to stop but we have to."

"I know Clary, it's just that you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen and I can't help but love you and-" he stopped as he realized what he said.

"Jace, what did you just say?" I asked him.

"Clary, I am so sorry I know you weren't ready to here me say that but, I can't lie to you about my feelings."

"Jace, what did you say?"

"Clary, I said that I love you."

I was so surprised at what he said that I didn't know how to respond. I just sat on his lap staring him in the eyes looking for any signs that told me he was lying to me. I saw nothing in his eyes, but love, adoration and passion for me. I didn't realize he was talking until he lifted his hands to my face and gave me a small kiss on the tip of my nose.

"Clary, please say something, I can't stand what you think of me after what you thought about that. I am so sorry, but I don't regret letting you know how I feel. Just let me know if we can just forget about this and keep going like we were." He told me.

I then realized that he was starting to move me so he could get up but I couldn't let him move without me letting him know how I felt about him. I didn't know before, but now I was absolutely certain about what I felt for this amazingly beautiful man.

"Jace, wait, I have something that I need to tell you."

"What is it Clare?"

"Jace, I..I think that I'm.."

A/n: I am so so so so so sorry for doing this to you guys but I really couldn't help doing this and if I kept going I would not have any idea of what to do next. Dorry! Buh-bye for now as I go hide in my basement!
