Previously...
"I know." He responds happily, "But hey, do you actually not remember my question?"
I feel a small flame creeping up my neck and into my cheeks.
I avoid his gaze.
"No," I mutter, "I remember."
Clary's POV
I watch his face run through several emotions before resolving itself into a sad face.
"And you said that you didn't know because you didn't want me to get upset that you said no." Jace sighs, "Its okay, Clary. We can still be friends."
I however, am just registering this information just as he walks into the other room.
"Wait! Jace!" I shout. He walks into the doorway that leads to the kitchen, leaning on the door frame, his eyebrows raised.
"Yeah?" He asks in a lower voice.
"You-I- ugh." I sigh, "I- that's not what I was going to say." I stumble over my words, not able to get them out quick enough.
"Then what were you going to say?" He asks. I open my mouth to say something, but he puts a hand up silencing me, "That you are going to 'think' about it?" He sighs, "I've dated enough girls in my time to know that that means no-" He stops abruptly.
"So, what, am I your new toy?" I ask, though it comes out harsher then usual, "That you think you can mess with me and mess with my emotions?" I stand up.
"No- That's not what I meant- I would never-"
"No, Jace." I say, making him be quiet, "I was actually going to say yes. But, now I'm thinking that I should say no."
If he thinks I'm going to give in easily, then he has another thing coming.
"Wait... You are?" He asks, raising one eyebrow.
"I was." I correct him, "But now, you just pissed me off." I bite my lip, "Especially with the whole one-eyebrow-thing."
"Clary!" He says, groaning, "I promise to never raise one eyebrow again for the rest of my life." He holds his hand to his heart.
I bite my lip as he walks towards me.
"Is that a yes?" He asks. I look up at him, releasing my lip.
"Yes," I murmur.
"What was that?"
"Yes!" I shout, hearing the door open behind me.
Okay! Did you like it?
The door opening isn't that important, btw.
Until next time,
