Jace POV...
Dooms Day - Part 2
I woke up blissfully, slowly, calmly. That didn't have anything to do with me, the naked red head I was currently spooning held my happiness in the palm of her hand. I moved my free hand to grab my phone from her night stand, checking the time quickly. 6am. She could sleep for 5 more minuets, I was the boss after all. A dark cloud slowly threatened to ruin my good mood as I realised that may not be the case for much longer. To stop ruining this amazing morning, I put my nose to her skin and breathed in the apples and earth that was the smell of my Clary Fray. Breathing her scent in seemed to enchant my body and she giggled lightly.
"Good Morning Miss Fray," her giggle had my worries dissolving in a second. As I had said yesterday, as long as we were together, I didn't care what happened.
"Hello Mr Herondale," she shifted her body slightly, "and good morning to your friend" she was giggling again. I kissed her neck, I thought I was going to get lucky again,
"Jace, stop, what am I doing today? Am I going to work or?" Her grass green eyes were serious. It was now or never. I had to make the decision, after all it was my dad.
"Okay, we'll go into work as normal, one thing I can tell from this is my dad does not want a scene in the office so don't worry about that" He didn't want one that badly he would put his sons happiness second. She was nodding. "I'll make us some breakfast." She climbed out of bed and reached for the dressing gown that hung off her wardrobe. The sight of her gave me other ideas.
"Well Miss Fray, it looks to me breakfast is served.."
Somehow we had both made it out of the apartment showered, dressed and fed in time for Clary not to be late for work. I was going in my clothes from yesterday for now and deciding how today went, I could or would have to go home and change later. We rode in the car in comfortable silence, however when I looked at Clary, she her hands were knotting round the steering wheel, "Clary, this will work out, please remember, we either walk out of here together or not at all. I am not leaving you. Clary," i took a deep breath. He had reached the office and just pulled up the hand break and turned to look me straight in the eye. I had to say this now before whatever happened in side those four walls changed things.
"Clary, Ive never been in love before, but when I imagine not seeing you every day I nearly go crazy, and when I think about your crazy hair and cute little freckles, I just want to kiss you. Clary I miss you when your not around because you're funny and sarcastic," she had not spoken a word, but I needed her to know, "Clary, I really think I'm falling in love with you and theres a chance you don't feel the same because we've only known each other a month, but when I see you, I know that is different and I just needed you to know that." She still hadn't said anything, but before I could speak again, she leaned over and brought her lips to mine in a kiss like fire, i fisted my hand into hair and kissed her back with as much love as I could show her.
"Jace," she began to talk and I already expected what she would say,
"Shh, I don't need to hear it right now, lets just do this." I turned and got out of the car and waited for her to get out as well, we walked slowly towards the entrance and not holding her hand felt weird. We rode up to the floor in silence, both of our nerves fried. We finally made it up to our floor when we both saw it. My dad, our boss, leaning against Clary's desk.
"Good Morning you two, how was your weekend?" He smiled smugly. What has his game? Clary looked just as shocked as I did. He didn't miss a beat. "Come on join me in Jace's office." He didn't wait foe us to acknowledge it. When we got to my office he sat in my desk chair as I closed the door behind us.
"Take a seat, please" he gestured to the chairs, while Clary went to obey I stayed standing. I didn't trust him.
"Or not Jace, this wont take long anyway, I have the Bell case to practice presenting today." His eyes meet mine as he raised an eyebrow. He wasn't going to win me over with work talk, not after yesterday.
"Just get this over and done with Father" my tone was hard, sarcastic.
"Jace, I don't know why you see me as the villain in this scenario? It is you that has created this reaction in me!" I looked down in shame, it was true I had slept with all of my PAs and then ditched them causing a bad reputation for myself and the business. Clary grabbed my hand, reminding me of her presence.
"With all do respect Mr Herondale, I care deeply about Jace and if you cared about your sons well being half as much you did this business, your son wouldnt feel the need to treat you like a villain." I stared at Clary in shock. She was amazing, I really hadn't expected her to stand up for me like that. I turned to my dad and his face was smiling.
"Trumped by two women in two days," he laughed to himself. "There is some fire in you Clary, never let it burn out, thats what makes you so special." We turned his eyes to the picture of my dad, my mum and me at the beach before she got sick.
"I have decided if you two want to date, go ahead," my whole world seemed to stop. What did he just say? I felt Clary grip my hand. "You can both continue to work here on the basis that it is kept professional. I do not want every young horny bastard in this office thinking they can all start fornicating in the break room because you two are dating!" He was pointing at us now, but I couldn't move I was still in shock. Clary was the first to breathe.
"What made you change your mind?" I had to know.
My dad, who cleaned my cuts when I fell over, taught me to ride a bike, hugged me as we buried my mother, beyond everything was still my dad. He had a twinke in his eye as he answered me,
"Sophie reminded me of something last night, that your mother would of told you to go for it and let nothing stand in your way, and she was always right when she was alive, I bet shes not wrong now." He stood up slowly and as be he did, I got up and hugged him.
"Thank you for understanding dad." He hugged me back gruffly.
"Like I said strictly business, like before!" He walked out the door after.
I raced to Clary who was still sitting on the floor and knelt by her, kissing her hands from excitement.
She looked me in the eyes. "What the fuck just happened?" She seemed to laugh at the same time.
"My father gave us his blessing I believe." We both laughed. Not believing the sheer impossibly of the moment I reached up and kissed Clary, holding her face in my hands and she was gripping my neck tightly.
SOOOO THERE YOU GOO A FINISHED STORY! Actually so glad to have got this off my chest, I really didn't think I would ever do it, but I don't think I could live with myself if I didn't!
I am going to try and get a malec wedding in the epilogue but don't expect that soon, a girl has to sleep! Lol
As for my other two shot; through the looking glass, I will finish it when the inspiration takes me, just not right now!
