Chapter 4: Jensen (1,3K)

Jace's PoV

Three months later

.~°~. .~°~. .~°~.

Jace was sitting in the coffee shop next to his office, waiting for Clary like he did every Monday after work. It had been three months since he called her back against Jon's threat to not try to engage any sort of relationship with his baby sister. And without neither Clary or Jace realising it, the relationship that they started as casual hookups became a real relationship in which they were both eager to learn about the other.

Jace wasn't afraid to even admit that he liked how their relationship had grown. He actually liked it very much. He liked getting to know the real Clary. When he was with her, Clary wasn't someone else's sister, or colleague, or ex-wife. She wasn't even someone else's mother, because no matter how willing and open Jace was on talking about Zelda, Clary always made a point on not talking about Zelda. She always claimed that she didn't want to bother Jace with her Mommy talk, but Jace suspected that it was also a way for her to protect her daughter as long as she wasn't sure where the two of them were heading.

But that didn't mean that he was complaining. On the contrary, Jace was glad that he got to know a whole new side of Clary. Of course when he met her, he just knew the side of her that was bold, sexy and horny; but now that he was starting something real with her, something that wasn't based solely on sex, he was discovering parts of her that always made him genuinely smile when he thought about it. Like the fact that she could do unspeakable things in bed, but would still blush at the mention of sex outside the bedroom. Or the fact that she never swore, but that dirty talking still turned her on. Or the fact that she would roll her eyes at the crazy passion that the internet had developed for cats, but still be melting at the sight of an animated broccoli dancing the boogie-woogie.

And this was the Clary that Jace liked very much. He was even starting to think that he more than liked her. That there was something deeper in their relationship, and that he didn't mind one bit falling for it. The only cloud in this thing he had with Clary, was Jon. To be honest, Jace still hadn't told his friend and colleague that he was dating his baby sister. Mostly because as long as he wasn't sure that Clary and him would last, he didn't see the point on starting a useless fight with someone he would see on a daily basis. Jon seemed to be one of those protective brothers, even if high-school was over; and now Jace was wondering what was life at work going to be when he would break the news.

He was intending on doing so the next day, by announcing to the blond man that he was taking the redhead to the countryside; and see how Jon was going to react. It wasn't much that he really cared about Jon's opinion or blessing concerning his relationship with Clary, but more that Jon was someone important to Clary, and that if he mattered to Clary, Jace felt like he should matter to him as well.

Suddenly, someone tapped on his shoulder, making him jolt a little for it wasn't in Clary's habits to do so; and when he turned, Jace had the displeasure to see Jensen standing behind him.

No matter how neutral Jace had tried to feel about Clary's ex, Jace couldn't help but feel mixed. He knew their story, he knew where they stood now, he knew that not every couple breaking up had to go down in flames, and that it was actually good for Zelda to see her parents still get along so well. But he could also see why Jon was so convinced that Jensen and Clary would get back together. Jensen's name fell more than once on Clary's lips, about the most mundane things, or out of nowhere; and no matter how much he tried to deny it, Jace could see that Jensen still had a special place in Clary's heart. After all, he was the father of her daughter, and that was creating a bond between them that Jace would never be able to replace.

"May I?" Jensen asked, indicating the free seat in front of Jace, and Jace nodded, looking straight in Jensen's clear eyes as he sat with class and elegance. According to Clary, Jensen was a doctor, working at the hospital. He wasn't a surgeon, or anything, but was working in the shadows of the building, behind the desk doing things that people never suspected to make sure that hospital could run itself without falling apart.

The two men stayed silent for a moment, before Jensen ordered a coffee and told Jace the reason of his presence: "Clary told me that you proposed her a weekend getaway."

Jace didn't reply anything, his eyes carefully studying Jensen's who chuckled a little shaking his head, making Jace compare against his best judgement this mimic to a similar one that Clary had. And he couldn't help but think of how often he saw her use that exact same chuckle.

"She asked me if I'd mind keeping Zelda in this weekend," Jensen clarified, paying the waiter for the coffee as Jace slowly nodded, still trying to figure out why Jensen was here; and then, Jensen explained, scratching his nape:

"This is so unusual for me … How to put this? … I am very happy for Clary. I am truly happy that she found someone who makes her feel good and treats her properly. But Clary will remain the love of my life. Not in the way you could think of. It's just that beside being the mother of my child, she is that one and only person I can completely and blindly trust with my soul, body and mind. Whatever Jon might think, our relationship is strictly platonic, and the love we have now for each other is just beyond romantic feelings."

"Why did you come?" Jace bluntly asked, not liking this deep speech that Jensen just gave him. If anything, it seemed more life Jensen was still in love with Clary but that he didn't want to admit it, not even to himself.

Jensen gently smiled and said: "I just want to tell you that if you intend to really go further, you better mean it. She wants to present you properly to Zelda, and this is something for Clary. So, if you feel that it's going further than you intended, end things during your weekend. I refuse to have to bare the sight of Clary being heartbroken."

Though he had kept his tone very quiet and polite, Jensen's words echoed like an untold threat to which Jace responded with sincerity:

"I think you do like wasting your time. The fact that I haven't fled at the knowledge of her little girl should be proof enough."

Jensen nodded, before getting up and buttoning his coat as he said: "Good. But just in case you are not sure, keep my words in mind; and use your weekend in the countryside to make the right move. Whether it is stepping in your relationship, or out, do it wisely before she gets too attached, and before my daughter gets involved.'
