Luke and Clary got into Luke's blue pick up truck and headed out towards the bookstore. With Clary occasional stealing looks at Luke. But he was focused on the road and driving.

"Hey Luke.." Clary mumbled. Turning her gaze straight ahead.

"Yeah Clary.." He answered briefly looking at her with a smile and turning back towards the road.

"I just was thinking. How come you never brought a woman to meet us."

LPOV:

Well that was definitely nothing I thought she would mention.. What the hell am I supposed to say: 'because they are nothing compared to you. I've wanted you for years now.' She would think I am weird.. Worst run away and tell her mother.

"What do you mean Clary?" I ran my fingers through my bang.

"I mean you don't do the whole dating thing that normal adults do. Mom does it occasionally but never you. Why is that?"

"I don't know Clary.." I said as we pulled up to the shop with three minutes to spare. If I am honest I couldn't wait to get the hell out of this truck and into a job at hand. But as soon as I open the door clary is hot on my trial.

"Come on Luke. I'm sure you know why.. You are an adult that can pretty much do whatever he wants. Am I holding you back from your bachelor life?"

Luke snapped his head so fast it could have gave him whip lash. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"I mean… you don't ever…"
"It's because I don't want to Clary.." He exhaled and turned towards his office. "If you must know Clary it's because the one person I want might not feel the same way I feel. I don't want a one night stand, I don't want a drunken night, I want something real. That is also part of being an adult clary." He finished walking to his office and closing the door…

Shit I just confessed my feelings for her in a down play way. I wonder if she will pick up on it.

CPOV:

What just happened? I can't believe that just happened? What did I do? Did I hit a nerve?

I wanted to build up to saying 'hey well I've never been on a date either. Wanna go out sometime?'

Sighing heavily Clary went to the register and started to grab the boxes of new books that came in scanning them and putting the price tags on them. When suddenly she heard the door bell dinged. Looking up she saw her best friend Simon fixing his crooked glasses. She smiled at him and ranned into his arms for a hug.

"Si, What's up? Shouldn't you be with Isabelle?" I asked wiping the stain off his chin.

"Yeah I was on my way when I thought let's check what Fray is doing? I see the shop is still standing." He smirked picking up the discarded books on the floor.

"Yeah well it's a hard job. But somebody has to do it." She smirked back.

"I wanted to know what you are doing for your birthday this year. Maybe finally telling the guy you have a crush on that you like him?" Simon said raising his eyebrow and looking at her expectantly.

Clary looked at the ground blushing.. "Maybe I just don't know what to do… I just wish I had an insight into how he is feeling. Then maybe it would be all easier."

"Clary even then it wouldn't be as easy as you think it would be. Just tell the guy. If he finds you weird then well Isabelle and I will be here to catch you when you fall." He smiled at her pulling her into another hug.

"That's Si. I love you bud."

"Love you too."

LPOV:

I walked into my office and banged my head against the office door. Of course I am an idiot I just talked a 17 year old I am in love with her for years subliminally. What on earth am I doing to myself.

I take 30 minutes to calm down and head out the door just as I hear the bell from the door indicating that someone was leaving.

"Who was that?" I ask Clary.

"Just Simon. He wanted to talk for a while before he heads to Isabelle's house to hang with her."

"Oh. Well he could come here more during the summer. Even get a job here if he want's."

"Naw. I don't think he would actually want that." Clary laughed pushing books on to the shelf.

"Clary I never asked what do you want to do for your 18th birthday. It's in two weeks." Clary smiled at him and just shook her head.

"Nothing.." She mumbled. Turning back to scanning books.

Well that was strange. "Come on I know there is something you want to do.."

"There is but you won't agree to it." She walked from around the counter and grabbed a box full of books from the corner that needed to be scanned.

"Sure I will. Whatever you want I promise we can do it." I smiled lovingly at her. I really don't want to let her down…

"You promise?" She asked testing to see if he was serious.

"Yes I promise. Come on and tell me now.."

"Well I want to go on a date. Will you take me on a date?"

I froze instantly did I just hear her right? My cock instantly started throbbing… She is not making this easy for me at all. I really want to have her against this counter while she moans my name..

"What.." I had to clear my throat so my voice wasn't squeaky. "You wanna go out on a date with me?"

"Well yeah.. Other than Simon there is no other guy that would want to go out with me.." She mumbled.

"What about that Herondale boy?" I asked clutching my fist. He tried to kiss Clary once after helping her when she fell. Clary hit him in the balls and ran to me for help.

"Jace? He is a man whore that wants to fuck his way through New York. I am still a virgin.."

Shit now I am really going to hell. Clary bends over to pick up her book and I get a nice view of that glorious ass. Well atleast I know I will never have a problem getting it up around Clary…

"Alright. A real date to show you how a guy is suppose to treat you. Dinner, movie, the works." I smiled at her. Maybe after this date I will get some insight into her. Clary runs to me and wraps her hands around my waist pulling me to her for a hug. I am pretty sure she can feel my ever present boner.

"Thank you! Thank You!" she kissed my cheek.

Well atleast I will go to hell with a smile on my face. Angel only knows this girl will be the death of me.
