"You should come over Clary, I have missed you" the woman on the phone insisted again. "We hardly see you around since Jace moved out permanently, well that's what he calls it but his here practically everyday – and I miss you and the bub" I imagined Tessa rolling her eyes at Jace's antics. "Ahh, I don't know I have so much going on right now, Malachi teething, catching up on work I don't know" any excuse I could use just to avoid seeing Jace I had just used.
"Come on Clarissa, you work too hard come and relax, besides it's only us girls" she whispered excitedly, "and girl time is too good to miss out on". After a long pause I muttered "fine" stabbing myself in the toe.
But now standing in the corridor of the Herondale manor, it was no longer girl's time. The halls were filled with spit balls of fire, no actually no just with strangers and male accompanies. I rolled my eyes dodging a paper flying plane coming towards me. And these men were supposedly supposed to be adults who were supposed to be grown ups.
I knew I should have backed out like gone for it full throttle, but as I had wanted to turn around bam Magnus and Alec had caught me and dragged me back in.
"What's going on Fray" Isabelle whispered seductively in my ear as I squished myself in a corner. "Don't want to be here" she continued in that voice again. "No I feel a bit tired actually, I thought this was going to be a relaxed social outing kinda thing" I whispered, waving my hand and straightening myself. I wasn't about to admit I didn't want to face Jace after what happened.
"It was, until Will found out this morning and invited his fellow mates as a payback for when Isabelle here" Tessa pointed at the other girl "threw a party here with Jace, Alec and Magnus and they – long story, anyways I am glad you are here" Tessa rubbed my hand and continued to keep walking, stress clearly written on her face.
"Yeah true story" Isabelle agreed. "Now where we, I think I was about to diagnose you" I rolled my eyes and walked further into the kitchen grabbing a snack. "So what's wrong with me this time Isabelle" I asked, and popped a carrot stick in my mouth. "You and Jace had a disagreement, now your not talking, he wont stop eyeing you and you won't stop running" she breathed hard afterwards.
I just looked at her and kept chewing. "Also Malachi is asleep upstairs in one of the guest rooms and not Jace's room, which to me looks like conflict" she went on. "Very spot on Isabelle, I have to go tend to my son now that you mention it" I brushed beside her. "Clary" she called. "Is that a yes or no, nuda, correct incorrect" she yelled as I walked away, "Definitely correct" she yelled louder her voice getting drowned by the noise in the house already.
"You can't hide from your feelings you know that" she raised her eyebrows catching up to me on the stairs. "There is nothing to hide" I muttered and walked away. Walking into one of the spare rooms I had left Malachi in, I froze on the spot because him, my staff where no longer there.
I quickly checked the other rooms before I went in full panic mode. Quickly running down, and back upstairs, I spotted Tessa. "Did you perhaps move my staff in the spare room" I ask her trying to be discreet that I had lost my child. "No, why what's wrong" she asked concerned, "I don't know Tessa I can not find my child" I shrugged my shoulders and running a hand in my hair trying to be calm.
"Have you checked with Jace" she asked looking in the direction of his old room. "Yes right" I nodded my head. I turned away from her and tried to spot the blonde goddess, but he was no were to be found. I ran back upstairs and headed in the direction I had been avoiding most.
Finally reaching the door I hesitated to open not sure to knock or what, but what if I found him with another person in there, what if. Your son is missing a small voice in the back of my head whispered.
Rolling my eyes at myself I pushed the door wide open, ready to escape if I needed too. On the centre of the bed I found Malachi, his arms stretched out wide. I ran to him and checked for any signs of harm, or distress but he was fast asleep as I had left him.
I heard movement behind me. "I think it's safer he stays in my room, don't you think" Jace muttered. "You could have just come and talked to me" I muffled a sound. "You didn't need to scare me" I whispered not turning to look at him. "I mean how else could I talk to you without making a scene, I wouldn't want people to think we aren't capable to communicate" he went on.
"Are we though Jace" I stood up to stare at him. "What do you mean, are we though?" "Clarissa, you have been ignoring me, not picking up my calls, I am not the one who has to explain. I haven't seen our child in days, weeks– and your asking me about communication".
"Well if you hadn't gone and connived with Imogen we wouldn't be back to step one and—" I saw as the shock registered on his face. "Connive with Imogen, I have not talked to her in a whole month and this is not only about Imogen is it" he asked but I changed topic. "So the envelope, did you read it" my voice shook.
Jace looked away. "Well" he said. "Here we go" I lifted my hands. "Why do you seem so afraid" he looked at me. I don't answer. "Clary" he murmured softly in a different tone. "I half opened it then burned it". "What" I said feeling astounded. "It was all you ever really wanted to know when I was pregnant … and" I gasped.
"And if you had answered your phone we could have discussed it" Jace said calmly.
"Clary I don't need it in writing to know he is my child" Jace pointed behind me, "we have to admit he is 90 percent me" I grimaced at him, "okay lets say 75 to 80% of me" he smiled. "That's better, well for now we don't know what his personality will be like" I chipped in.
"Are you sure about that, Herondale genes are quite strong I mean just look at me and him, his the one person who exceeds my beauty" Jace brushed himself lovingly. "Mmmh" I hummed. "Besides you offcourse" he shrugged, a small shy smile played on his lips. "So this business is officially over then" I say, and he nodded. "Glad we fixed it".
The room fell silent and I felt the tension and hunger from the other day between us rise in the air. "So did you want to stay with him, I need the bathroom" I pointed attempting to walk out of Jace's room but he stepped in front of me. "It won't work if you're in my way" I said looking down. "I have a bathroom right through that door" he pointed behind me.
"No my legs feel stiff I need to walk" I tried to move to the other side but he blocked my view. "Jace come on let me go" I muttered scratching my head. "We can't avoid this" he pointed between himself and myself "for much longer Clary, what happened at your place" he demanded.
"Nothing, it was just a moment I felt low and …".
"And what else, you just felt low" he asked clarifying my thoughts. "Yes that is exactly what I did, and you happened to molest my mouth first so" I tell him half rolling my eyes. "Molest your mouth wow" Jace shrugged turning away.
"Alright then, can I make it up to you" he asked turning back to look at me. "That's not necessary" I told him. "I just want to say thank you for everything, looking after my son" he went on. "Maybe some other time" I whispered after a while. "Is it that bad to be with me alone" Jace asked looking hurt. "uh um uh" my mouth opened and closed, how was I to tell him that he was a beacon, a light I was drawn too but there was still some darkness I had to run away from, because I was afraid of what I felt about him and how he felt about me.
A man could just kiss you but not really express the same feelings, and I didn't know how he felt. I knew he loved his son and but what of me. I just looked at him and averted my eyes as I stepped aside him then practically ran out of the room, because I couldn't breathe anymore with him there and looking at me like gold and that bloody dress shirt he had on, so tight around his arms lord help me.
I bent over as I closed the doors my body feeling weak, I was weak and I could not deny it any longer I wanted Jace Herondale in more ways than I could say. "Are you okay" Alec caught me outside bent over. "Yes, absolutely" I shrugged pushing my hair back and straightening up. "Alright then" he muttered and continued to walk along.
o.o.o
"Jace wants me to take a break, like for a day with him to discuss our future" I told my mum as we sat around her house, Malachi was bent over some toys mum had bought for him. And for the first time since coming into the house she finally looked at me. "Is something going on between you two" she asked narrowing her eyes at me.
"Nothing" I answered too quickly "I, we just want to discuss stuff about the future concerning Malachi that is" I say editing the txt he sent me the other day about our hang out session that I still won't agree on. "Clary" she narrowed her eyes some more. "Nothing romantically, I don't want anything … any time soon I just want to focus on my little man" I smiled at Malachi who was staffing a toy in his mouth.
"Well it doesn't hurt to just go and hear him out then" she muttered. "Will you be okay with that though" I asked trying to find a reason to not go. "Your an adult, you answer to yourself now" she replied simply and returned to her chores.
"Mmmh" I hummed, that didn't go quite as well as I thought.
"Wait, wait" Jon came rushing into the room. "Where is Clarissa going, with whom, better not be that worm" he yelled. "Jon" I whined, "Your going to have to get along with him sometime he is Malachi's father".
"Still, he doesn't give me the respect I deserve" he went on. "And you don't exactly do the same either, you barely talk or look at Jace".
"And that's because he is a prick, in my life and yours and my nephews" he muttered. "Jon" I whined some more. "Not like its not true" he went on.
Shaking my head I walked off.
o.o.o
"Alright Izzy" I muttered placing Malachi's bag on her shoulder. Then I carefully ducked back in my car and quietly unbuckled the little fella who was fast asleep. Holding him in my arms I carefully wiped away the small beads of sweet covering his forehead. Brushing away his curly golden mop I placed a kiss on his forehead.
"Clary hand him over he will be safe" she smiled her eyes bright. "Remember Izzy his not a barbie doll, just give him a bottle when he wakes up, around 6 ish 7 at night you can give him one of those baby products just warm it up, there is one for lunch and dinner and taste it before you give to him and—" I listed off her duties.
"Give him a bath before bed, then change his diaper and then give him to Tess when she gets back from work I got it" she said finally tearing her eyes from him to mine. "Yes" I mumbled looking down at his head lolled on my shoulder. "Okay well we should be back by tonight" I muttered rolling my eyes.
"thatswhatyouthink" she quickly mumbled. "What was that"
I asked. "Nothing, I just said enjoy it take time to figure things between you two" she went on. "Yes he wants to show me something and then kind of discuss our child's future" I replied rocking Malachi.
"What about your future" she asked. "I know what my futu—" I was about to say, "Is without Jace right" she muttered looking away. "But that's none of my business, but do try to be open minded for this trip, I have seen Jace preparing for it". "I will try" I whispered. " Remember he has given up things too" Isabelle went on.
"I have too Izzy" I snapped looking away. "I know but you don't seem to be giving him a chance to repent his mistakes, let this be the time for it" she murmured just as Jace hoped out of his car.
"Ready" he asked removing his shades and looking up at me. I looked at him and handed Malachi over. "He will be alright" she mumbled taking him into her arms and smiling down at him. "We will be fine, won't we bud" she whispered
"Don't cook for him please" Jace muffled off at her as he placed a kiss on Malachi's forehead.
"Everyone loves my cooking" she mouthed off and Jace made a choking sound as he walked away. "Right" he yelled over his shoulder. "Well for that, I will make him my special— fondue" she yelled. "No, no, no" he yelled turning around and pointing at her.
I couldn't stop looking at her as we prepared ourselves in the car. "He will be alright" Jace muttered looking out the window too. "Its Isabelle though" was all I could say as we drove away. "I know" was all he said. back "Why isn't he with Tessa, again" he asked. "Well, she's working" I murmured feeling annoyed.
o.o.o
I breathed hard as we tracked up the mountain. "How much further" I asked a few meters away from Jace who was moving at an impossible pace. " Do know I had a baby some months ago" I scolded him. Infact this had been our conversation through out the whole trip to go see some project only I was supposed to see.
Jace let out a shaky laugh and kept moving. "Just some meters more". "You said that an hour ago" I whined. "Maybe you should stop whining" he muttered sarcastically. I humphed rolling my eyes, this trip had been taking a toll on me already. Firstly I didn't want to leave Malachi alone with Isabelle although Tessa was taking him soon. Secondly Jace and I needed time alone too because we were conflicting each other about how our son was to grow and our relationship in general not that he had said anything but still that needed solving.
Thirdly, I just didn't want to be alone with, just because I didn't trust myself with him, alone. Fourthly I just missed my son and I didn't want to be alone with Jace again, I already mentioned that right. "What are you thinking about" Jace asked, slightly still ahead of me. "Nothing too interesting" I muttered swatting a fly out of my way. We kept tracking and tracking through the thick jungle of Idris, and never seemed to get there.
"Are we nearly there Jace, for real it looks like its getting dark "I murmured looking up at the sky where I could barely make out if it was getting dark or it was just my imagination.
"Look up" he yelled, and I could see the top of a building formulating. "What's that" I whispered craning my head to see. "Do you want me to lift you" Jace teased, " ]with your height and all".
I narrowed my eyes at him; I was in no mood for jokes anymore. " Keep walking" he yelled when he spotted my face. What felt like another hour we finally reached a place of civilization it seems. Jace lifted his hand to help me up but I swatted it away and ended up falling on my bum. Quickly I got up ignoring his outstretched hand.
When I did, I was facing a house that was still in the works it seemed. "What is this" I whispered out of breathe, why would he make us track hours and hours of jungle for a house – an unfinished house might I add and – .
"This is for Malachi" Jace mumbled quietly sounding nervous, something he rarely showed. "I figured James would have the manor so I wanted Malachi to have something of his own " he pointed putting his hand back in his pockets and became quiet. I looked from him to the house looking for any trace of humor, but I saw none he was being serious.
Silence stretched between us until I spoke "What do you mean, I may not even be in Idris for long, and Malachi stays where I stay right" I said indefinitely.
"It doesn't have to be like that Clary" Jace reasoned changing his posture. "I … I" he swallowed hard and slightly rolled his golden eyes as he faced me "I want to be part of his life too you know that" he murmured.
"And what is this house supposed to mean Jace, we are not even together, we are not even a family" I whispered harshly, then withdrew myself back realizing what I had said, what the meaning of my words would mean to him. "I didn't mean it in that sense" I tried to quickly explain myself.
"It's okay Clary, I know I can never be part of your family but my son is my blood and I have every right to be his family" Jace's voice rose an octave high than normal. "You didn't want to be months ago" I hit back, forgetting how I had hurt him moments ago.
Jace rolled his eyes and looked away before he spoke "See this is where we don't understand each other, you underestimate me and shut me out almost every time I try make an input" he shook his head frustrated.
"How am I supposed to trust you, you have hurt me so many times Jace and my son doesn't need anything fancy his barely one yet".
"And I have tried to make it up to you, be your friend but I am not good enough am I Clarissa" he spoke so calmly it was so eerie, "It's the one thing, its how I was raised extravagant or not, I want my son to have a part of me something I have worked hard for".
"I just don't know Jace, can we go" I muttered. "At least look inside, I need your opinion atleast" Jace mumbled. "We did walk all this way" he whispered.
"Fine" I muttered after awhile then followed him inside.
"This is pretty huge" I told him, standing outside looking at the view of the plot, very far you could only catch a glimpse of the glass city, it was really far. "Yeah" Jace muffled running a hand in his hair.
"I just don't want him growing up thinking life is easy, I want him to work hard and not be given things freely and this" I lifted my hands all around me "Seems to go against that, it's a beautiful thing your doing don't get me wrong but—I feel there are other ways he can earn such things as these" I explained myself much calm this time.
"I feel the same way" Jace agreed instantly "I don't want him growing like I did always given what I wanted, but I do want to give him something, and this house signifies that" Jace stood in front of me now glaring down at me with those impossible eyes and that lopsided smirk that took my breathe away.
I didn't realize I was biting my lip and slowly closing my eyes waiting for him to close the gap "Clary" he muttered. "Yeah" I heard myself say "Are you listening" he went on, "I was saying you won't even let me have a say in how he is raised, and where he is to grow" Jace took my hand in his, "but I don't complain, I agree because I trust you and your judgment for our son and I don't want to fight either" I gave a sharp nod, I was to mesmerized by his surrounding that everything morphed into whatever. "And I don't our Malachi growing in that environment where we don't get along".
"Hey, say something" he whispered slightly brushing my cheek and lifting my head to look at him when I didn't answer. "When can we leave, its getting late" I muttered avoiding his gaze. "What" he muttered stepping away, "I don't often give speeches but when I do the matter is important and all you can ask is when can we leave, really" he looked disturbed.
"I…" I tried to say something but failed to formulate words. "I know I need time" I said stepping away, and what had he said about speeches he made speeches all the time I thought to myself.
"Your telling me there is a road, driveway but you made us walk" I gasped and glared at him when I stepped outside.
"Still in the works" he noted sullenly, probably still annoyed at my lack of words for his speech.
Jace called a taxi, which took us back to our car on the other side of the jungle. My head was turned to the side looking out the window when we finally settled in the car it was getting dark now, but it was the only direction I was going to be looking at tonight. "Why New York" Jace's voice loomed in the darkness of the night. I kept staring out the window and turned to him when I felt ready, "its home" I whispered holding his gaze. "Isn't this home" Jace nodded his head around us.
"Its not familiar, its feels distant from the world and I haven't made real memories yet and I would like to show my— our son my life so he grows knowing to learn to do things alone" "And he can't do that around here" Jace asked. I just looked at him and looked away there was not much I could say, this argument was impossible.
"Nine months ago you didn't want him" my voice shrieked feeling frustrated. He was silent, when he spoke "Can you not forgive me that much that you have to take him away from me, everyone I truly loved they have all gone and left me" he whispered calmly, not his usual winge. I stared at him part of me wanting to scream and the other part feeling mortified by what he said, "I don't owe you anything to stay here" my voice rumbled really lowly.
"What about the fact he is my son? I do have legal rights too and I would not like to use them" He murmured simply. "What rights you wouldn't get a DNA test, well you burned it" I hit back. "Do we really need to go into that" I looked away knowing it was a stupid blow.
"Whose name is even on that birth certificate, huh?" Jace asked. "That does not justify anything Jace" I turned on him. I had wanted to ask him first, well tell him that I had wanted Malachi to carry my last name but I just changed it.
"I was going to ask – tell you soon" I mumbled seeing him look hurt. "Yeah right, like I make any decisions" was all he said and then he was silent, and trust me being in a silent car with a Herondale was unusual.
It was two hours back home, two long hours I thought ahead. I had really blown it this time because Jace said nothing for thirty minutes straight. Until the car decelerated making us having to move onto the side road. Grabbing a torch he climbed out of the car and headed to the bonnet where I heard him cursing and muttering obscene things because he burnt his hand, and not being sure.
I followed after him trying to ask what was happening but he just snapped and yelled for me to get back into the car. After a few protest, I returned in the car. A while later he came back inside looking exhausted and half covered in dirt. "Well" I asked looking at him.
"Probably stuck here for a while" he muttered sadly. "That's not funny Jace, we need to be home for Malachi" I muttered. "Never said it was a joke, you need to be home" Jace snapped stepping out of the car again. I stayed silent; when I didn't see any movement outside I stepped out and saw his figure retreating.
"Jace" I yelled feeling frustrated. I chased him down. "Are you serious, leaving me alone really". He stopped and placed his hands on his hips. "Remember you don't need me right, Clary" he yelled and started walking away again. "I didn't say that at all" I yelled at him. "Well that's the commotion I feel around here and you have been insinuating it the whole day you don't need me "He yells and kept walking.
I got out of the car fully and trailed behind him until we finally saw lights of a little town we had left. It was getting late as we stepped in the only motel available in the town. "I don't think we should stay the night" I muttered following Jace as he stepped inside.
"Two rooms please" Jace muttered annoyed and placed his credit card on the counter. The girl clearly taken by him slowly moved her eyes to stare at her computer screen, her eyes skimmed through and every once a while I found her eyes skimming back at Jace wildly as he was not looking.
Then her overly huge smile turned into a big frown, "I am sorry but we are all booked out" Jace's eyes lifted to her annoyed. "Excuse me, it doesn't say no vacancy outside" he pointed. "Our sign is not working sir" she defended. "Well that's useless" Jace snapped grabbing his card and walking away. "Really sorry try the camping site down the road". We stepped outside just as the rain began pelting down on us. We both looked around and the closest building was the tavern.
"How long are we staying here" I asked as we stood under the porch of the tavern. "Just until the rain passes" he called on his shoulder, as he was about to walk inside. I pulled him back by his arm "Stop being so blunt" I muttered feeling annoyed by his actions. "And stop being so self righteous about everything Clary" he said. I looked at him "That's different Jace".
"What taking my son away from me" he asked so casually, it burned. "You didn't want him remember" I yelled, Jace looked away as though he was pained. "See that's your problem, you don't want to move on or let me be part of the future, at every chance you get you hit me with the past, how about I make it easy to you, I do me and you do you" he muttered angrily and stepped into the tavern leaving me outside.
I took a long deep breath and let Jace get away from me. I didn't know what to do, my intention wasn't to take his son away, I – it was much more complicated than that. I stepped in the bar and scanned but I couldn't see him, with the lights deemed. Feeling exhausted for looking and waiting around I hoisted myself on the bar and ordered myself a pina colada, a shot of alcohol could help right about now.
Contemplating on the days events it made me realize how different we were and wanted different things, we were on much better terms before and now it was back to square one just the usual. Just thinking about what we have been through made a small tear run down my face, and I quickly wiped it away and looked around me when I heard a chair scrap.
I waited for it, for him to scorn me some more. "Why would a lovely girl like you be alone" a man's voice rang beside me, making me look up. My heart fell seeing as it wasn't Jace there so we could make up. "Michael Truceberry" he continued to speak. "Clar-rissa" my voice trembled, not sure to let a stranger know who I was. "How about a drink on me" he suggested after a while.
"Um no thanks" I mumbled stepping down. I looked to my side and finally found Jace not alone, but in the company of several females, excessively dressed out of place. Feeling irritated I stomped back on my chair and looked at the stranger. "How about that drink" I muttered pulling a smile.
Let loose I told myself as I downed the first drink. He offered another and I kindly agreed. For an hour straight I tried to keep sane with the man. I faked my smiles and laughs but every moment I got my eyes ran back to where I had seen Jace last, it was like he hadn't moved still surround by his brood of an army.
"Mmmh" I lolled my head on the counter. "It's been long since I let myself let go" I slurred on my words and let the music run through me. "I love this song" I slurred again. "You should dance" Michael suggested looking at me. "My mother would never approve" I laughed. "Your mother is not here" he murmured taking a sip of his drink.
"Come' on, get on up there and shake your booty on that table" he banged his hand on the bar "Do you think so" I smiled at him. He nodded his head "Yes Clarissa, your free tonight what they don't know won't hurt them" he winked. The song began and I felt myself move, without another word I got out of my sit and to my surprise I climbed up the bar and began moving side to side.
My hands moved into my hair, I flicked it side to side as my hips swayed there and here. I looked down and a crowd began to surround me all of them cooing and singing out to me. A huge smile took the frown off my face as I spotted Michael. I could see his smile glim in the darkness as I lifted a hand to him.
He was handsome but he was not my Jace, definitely not Jace I smiled to myself. Your Jace I questioned. Yes he wasn't like my Jace but he would do for the moment, I thought as I pulled the man up on the bench with me. I let his hands caress my waist as he stood and began to move behind me. My head lolled back onto his shoulder and at every chance he wanted to move those hands I slapped them back to a territory I was comfortable with.
The man began cooing and spilling their drinks at my feet. "Don't" I whispered frightened and at the same time Michael's grip on me was getting tight. "Let go" I whispered harshly at him. " Oh come Clarissa, the party is just getting started" he whispered in my ear his breath hot and smelling really strongly of bourbon. I stared at him and he placed a very wet and sloppy kiss on my cheek.
Feeling disgusted and the drinks definitely wearing off my eyes scanned the bar for Jace, I was in desperate need now, I did need him. I lost my attention at looking for him as I yelled, "Stop" again. My body no longer danced to the rhythm of the music, or the man behind me. I needed an escape, my hands pried and pried his of off me but I failed.
The next I saw a flash of something and not there and a fist connected to Michaels face, making him leave me in an instant. My mouth made o astonished by the turn of events. Then another and another fist connected to his face and I had to pry Jace away when I saw the security guards heading our way. "Come on" I yelled in his ear, grabbing his hand we jumped down the bar and out the door we went. We ended up in an ally way, sweaty and tired. "Why did you do that" I yelled at him.
Jace looked at me his hands bloody. "I believe the word you're looking for is thank you" he muttered sarcastically before walking away. "I was handling it" I said trailing behind him. "Sure" he turned to me then stalked away again. We found a public toilet and as I was about to go in my direction and him his, he came back and dragged me to the male bathroom.
"This is pretty gross" I complained. "Well yeah you can not be left alone it seems" he muttered as he washed his hands and face. "How about you do us all a favour and remove any trace of that parasite's stench off of you" I looked at myself in the mirror and scowled, I had gone from being a conservative mother to this wild women in the mirror. My hair stood everywhere, and make up was ruined not that I had any on.
I slowly made myself walk up to the sink and washed my face off. Then I heard a few voices coming over, Jace was busy in a cubicle and the other ones looked locked up and very disgusting so I quickly banged on his door but it was unlocked, with out another word I locked us in. Him half removing his pants. "What are you doing" he asked his eyes lighting up in the situation.
"Sssh" I whispered placing my index finger on my lips. We were now facing each other, and breathing down on each other just as a group of man entered the bathrooms, breathing heavily. "Ill kill that fucker", "thinking he owns my bar ill kill him" he kept on going.
My eyes looked up at Jace in panic, he was talking about us. "You say that all the time" one of the man remarked. "Shut up, do me a favour and find me that bitch again" my eyes widened at this information. "Calm down there, we are only passing by in this town and I think our welcome has been warn out". In the midst of these Jace and I were getting closer together, when the man finally left it was just us two. I sighed heavily and breathed.
His face only a few centimeters away, his pupils were excited like my own. I could see the movement of his veins on his neck as it pulsed with blood. Slowly his eyes hooded as they stared at me, his hand moved behind my neck. Then a flush in the next cubicle brought us back to attention of were we where. Grabbing my hand we left slowly and mindful checking that we don't run into those wild men again.
We went by the camping site and they had just closed off for the day, that meant we had to walk back to our dead car. Jace had said he tried calling for help but everyone was busy and wouldn't go through. I was trying to be positive, hoping Isabelle hadn't fed my son that fondue she talked about.
We ran almost half of the town and we were finally on our way to the car when a car stopped by. We both panicked until a woman rolled her window down and yelled "Get in Mr. Herondale" a woman's voice called out very flirtatiously at Jace. He looked to me and saw my eyes squish together not sure. "Will be okay" he whispered to me.
"I don't get in cars with strangers" I whispered back. "You have gotten in one with me before" he reminded me of our time in New York "That was different" I defended. "Are you coming in' she yelled. Without another word Jace opened the door and pushed us in.
"What has you two pansies in this town" she asked speeding away. "Visiting grandma" Jace went on smiling. "Thanks for the advise back there" she went on, "I see your busy saving everyone" she said eyeing me in the view mirror. "Does anyone ever save you" she asked. Jace looked at me then and looked at her, "yeah I have a few people on my radar" he answered.
"Just stop right here, please" he murmured and the car came to a stop. "She could have just driven us back home" I whispered when she drove away. "I know but I could see how frightened you were". I just nodded and followed him to where the car was. Earlier we had managed to push it into one of those car bays on the highway.
"Why did you help me, tonight" I asked, "I mean precisely you said you would do you and I should do me and its strange you helped me" I went on. "Even if I was mad at you Clary, I wouldn't let the mother of my child get hurt in front of my eyes" I nodded not sure what to say.
"Well thank you". After five minutes he was still trying to open the door and it wasn't very warm out. "What's going on" I stepped up to him and forcefully took the keys from him. "Its as simple as this Jace" I turned on him and pressed the button on the car. "I was pressing it" he defended "sure" I mumbled.
His hand stopped me before I opened the door. "I was" he mumbled blocking me. "Alright" I mumbled feeling dazed. We stood like that for a bit till I had to ask "What are you looking at" I asked him. It took him a moment to answer; "You" was all he mumbled just as he connected his lips to mine.
I felt stoic not sure how to respond after the days events. But my eyes only drooped for a moment and my body became aware of what was happening. I stepped back and looked at Jace. His pupils were blown and under the moonlight I could see my crazy reaction, slowly my hands rose realizing that I felt I needed him and cradled his face.
Don't do it I heard the small voice behind my head, but it was late, way too late. I smiled … no I giggled like a foolish little girl as Jace picked me up. My legs cradled behind his back and I giddily kissed the side of his mouth as his hands travelled up and inside my top, and he unclasped my bra.
Making me gasp. "Cheat" I murmured as he returned his mouth on mine. "For you always" he mumbled. When his hands returned down my bottom and I felt securely held, I managed to unsecure the buttons of his shirt. A car drove by flashing thier lights as they passed. Making Jace and I laugh.
"Perhaps we should – " he mumbled, "perhaps" I went on as my hand travelled behind me and searched for the door handle. When I finally managed I dropped and quickly climbed in Jace following me. Just as we entered the rain started pouring outside. Jace got hold of my hand and began playing with it.
With my bra half down and his shirt buttons undone. I could feel my walls about to come up and feel shy when Jace simply kissed me on the cheek. I looked up at him. I slowly climbed on top of him and took my shirt of. Then I leaned down to kissed him, his hands travelled up and down my bottom and thighs. "Owe" I muttered "What's wrong, did I do something wrong" Jace asked. "Its hurts" I mumbled poking at a bruise on my thigh. We both looked down were a bruise was forming "Ill be fine" I went on.
"If your hurt we should stop" but I only shook my head and returned to kissing him. "I just want you right now" I whispered shocked the words were coming out of my mouth. "I think I have for a very long time now" I went on. Without another word Jace moved pinning me between the and him, my hand ran down the window in pleasure. And the rest was history as he covered his body over mine.
JPOV
I woke to a tap on the window, hoping Magnus hadn't arrived too early and seen us. Light shown brightly through the window of the car blinding me instantly as another knock sounded on the window. I lifted my head a wee bit and brought it down, as I felt light headed; on my chest laid Clary her fiery red curls hiding her face.
I tried looking for a shirt to cover us but I couldn't find it just as the door was opened. "Oh my what do we have here" Magnus muttered too loudly. "Sssh" I tried to whisper, putting my finger on lips. "Quite a sight Herondale" he went on. I felt Clary stir beside me so I covered her as much as I could, she too seemed to be blinded by the sun.
"What's going on" she mumbled rubbing her eyes. "Morning sunshine" Magnus cheerfully spoke, I had to roll my eyes I was going to get him good for this. "Magnus" Clary spoke not sure. "Yes, now get up and dressed before Alec sees you" he went on as a matter of fact and turned away shaking his head.
Clary looked at me then herself, only half dressed. I could see she was having obscene thoughts about me. I looked away and spoke before she could. "Why isn't he here" I asked of my bestfriend. "Resting in the car and angry that you just couldn't call proper help than us" Magnus shrugged, why didn't you call proper help".
I shrugged before answering, "I didn't know the number" I admitted honestly. Clary punched me in the stomach really hard, and may I say she knocked the breathe out of me. She jumped out properly dressed now and stalked to the other car.
"Clary" I called stepping after her, in my underwear. "Seriously you didn't know the number Jace" she yelled. People starred as they drove by. "Don't act like it wasn't a bad night" I yelled back. "Thank you Mr Herondale, for such an appalling night jackass" she yelled and entered the car waking up a sloppy looking Alec.
"Way to go Jacey" Magnus said cheerfully as he too returned to his car.
