Clary POV
When we walked back in Jace didn't even look at me he looked at Sebastian and called that we still have the game to play. We play for a while until my mum and Luke walked in. As soon as everyone was settled I walked up to my mum and hugged her. She hugged me back and looked to Luke over her shoulder.
"Clary darling is everything ok?" Luke asks coming behind my mother putting his arms around both of us. Luke is such a loving person and always supports me and Jon on our crazy adventures. Luke is big and muscly but on him it doesn't look scary he makes it look like he's a giant teddy bear, his glasses always sit askew on his face, his suit making him look completely different to his usual look which consists of plaid shirts and his dark wash jeans and dirty boots.
"Everything's fine Luke, I'm just so happy for you both! You're finally married after 15 years of being together officially." I say and hug them both as tight as I can. "I love you both so much!" I say to them and leave them to go back and sit with my friends. Soon all my friends are extremely drunk and the only ones who are left slightly drunk, more like they just have a buzz, are me and Jace.
"Do you think we should tell them all to go to bed now? Its 10:30 and they are already like this the bar doesn't close for another hour and a half, god help us then." I say to Jace who seems to be the only other person able to hold his liquor and I know that it's thanks to him that I can hold mine. I remember so many nights where we would go out to parties and get so drunk that we'd end up stumbling home to his house at like 4 in the morning, his parents would just laugh at us and tell us to have a great day tomorrow with our killer hangovers. And they were right, that was the worst thing about getting drunk.
"Yeah let's put them all to bed and we can come back down and do some shots to get us up to their level." He says grabbing on to a drunk Alec who was holding on to a drunk Magnus. "I'll get these two you get Jon and Seb to walk themselves to their room, as long as their told what to do their pretty good drunks." He says. "Then all you have to do is grab Simon and Izzy who seem to be making out in that corner." He says and points to the corner where I can see the outline of Simon who seems to be pining Izzy against the wall.
I role my eyes and walk over to Jon and Seb. "Ok guys you two link arms or hold hands whatever you want to do to keep yourselves together and walk to your room. I'll be up there soon to help you both into bed." They both just nod their heads and grab on to each other's elbows. I laugh at them and walk over to the corner to grab Izzy and Simon. "Hey guys, I have an awesome idea. Why don't you both take this kissing session and take it to your room. News flash you two are sharing!" I say to them, they both separate long enough to hear my speech and both grab on to each other's hands and walk to the rooms attached to the reception hall. I follow behind to make sure that they don't get lost, when they make it to their room and shut the door I make my way across the hall to Jon and Seb's room and see them both already tucked up in bed still in there suits. I walk over to them and take off their shoes, ties and cufflinks and leave them to their dreams. I slowly make my way down to the bar area preparing myself mentally for a night drinking with Jace.
As I'm walking back to the bar I start to reflect back on what Sebastian said earlier. Was Jace really in love with me like I was with him? He didn't seem to even care when we walked back in, he was actually suspiciously quiet and avoided eye contact with me most of the night. It was really only after mom and Luke left for the airport, at 9:30, and everyone else started getting to the extremely drunk level that he really started to talk to me properly again. It hurt to think Sebastian knew that I was with him to try and get over Jace, he must really love me if he's willing to stay with me despite the fact that I'm in love with his best friend. Before I know it I'm back with Jace doing shots at the bar.
"Ok new game" Jace half slurs as we order more shots to us. The bar tender laughs at our courage as we make it to 14 shots each, with 12 more in front of us, 6 each. "We both take turns to ask each other questions and if we don't want to answer it then we have to do a shot." He says moving his hands in big gestures to 'help' me understand the rules. I nod at him and suck the lime that the bar tender gave us to go with our tequila. "Ok I'll go first. We'll start out simple. What college do you want to go too?" He hiccups his way through the sentence.
"I want to go to a college where the sun shines all the time, so California. Where do you want to go to college?" I ask back, I seem to be more sober than he is, I'll soon change that.
"I also want to go somewhere warm and was thinking about California as well. We should both do it and get an apartment together out there so we don't have to go to the dorms, we can both afford too." He says a smile on his face.
"Ok deal if we do end up being accepted to California then we'll live together. Next question." I prompt him.
"Ok, why don't you want to sleep with Sebastian?" he asks looking into my eyes. I know I could skip this one but Jace is my best friend and I tell him everything.
"I don't think he's Mr Right, and I want my first time to be with someone I love and I don't love Sebastian, I'm sorry I know he's one of your best friend's but he just doesn't do it for me you know?" I say to him.
"Yeah I get you, I wish I had waited for Mrs Right, or I wish I could know if Mrs Right feels the same way about me as I do about her." He stares off into the distance. My heart clenches when I hear him talk about his 'Mrs Right'. I wonder who it could be, do I know them, is she right for him or does he just want some more fun? I turn to the bar and down 3 of my 6 shots. Jace notices and does the same. "We're never gonna drink these shots playing my game so do you wanna get some more and see how adventurous we can be doing body shots back in the room?" He asks waggling his eyebrows at me, he thinks I won't agree. Hm, well let's show him that two can play at his game.
"Bar tender," I call but he doesn't answer. "Michael!" I call to him again. He walks over to me and asks for my order. "I would like a bottle of tequila and a few slices if lime and a salt shaker, to go please." I say to him, giving him my sweetest smile whilst also flashing him a bit of my breasts. He looks down grins and tells me he'll be right back.
"Wow Clary has a dirty side." Jace says. He leans forward and whispers in my ear. "That was so hot. You had him eating out of the palm of your hands." He says causing me to shiver.
"Don't you wish you could see more of it?" I say sending a wink his way to throw him of the trail that I'm secretly in love with him. I hear him burst out laughing and think I hear him whisper to himself 'you don't even know how much' but he turns back to me grinning so I must have misheard him. Michael comes back with our drinks. I lean over the bar grab on to his neck and plant a warm kiss on the side of him mouth then I lean up to his ear and whisper, "Thank you so much, you've just made our night a lot more interesting with this. My boyfriend and I really appreciate it." And then I pull back to see his shocked expression, then he looks at Jace and says "You've got one amazing woman on your hands, I hope you can handle all of her." And walks off. I look at Jace and see that he has the most confused expression on his face ever, I start to laugh and get up ready to leave/
"What the heck was he talking about?" He asks whilst getting up and grabbing hold of our tequila to go.
"Oh nothing I was just playing with him and whispered in his ear about how we really appreciate what he's done for us and how it's made our night so much more interesting. Oh and I may have said that you my friend were my partner in crime, my boyfriend and he fell for it. Ha!" I tell him walking back to our room. Again he mumbles something under his breath and carries on walking towards our room.
