Hey everyone! If you were wondering why Jace and Clary and Magnus are visiting Hawaii, It is because I'm here on vacation!
Anyways, the Mortal Instruments characters belong to Cassandra Clare.
Enjoy!
Jace POV
I grabbed my swimsuit and a few changes of clothes and set them in my bag with my toothbrush. I quickly walked outside to where Clary and Magnus and the horses were waiting. The horses were quietly cropping the grass and Magnus was opening the portal. Clary had a gray duffel bag and was wearing a blue tank top with short shorts. She looked up and smiled as she saw me.
"Hey sleeping beauty," she teased.
"Hey," I replied, dropping my duffel bag to the floor.
Magnus was taking us to the big island. Once the portal opened, Clary vaulted onto Sundance and whistled to Justin. I grabbed a handful of Moonblink's mane and jumped onto his back as well. Magnus stepped through the portal, all our bags getting sucked up too.
"Ready?" Clary asked.
"Yep," I replied, nudging Moonblink into the portal.
We arrived at a huge house. The surrounding houses looked a little rundown, and the ground all around was black rock. Once you got onto our property, however, it changed to a tropical jungle paradise. We gestured for the horses to follow us into the backyard. They still didn't quite understand portal travel, but I reassured them that it wasn't anything to be afraid of. The backyard was huge and full of lush grass. There were two large palm trees in the middle of the lawn, providing shade for most of the yard. The edge of the backyard was bordered by flowering hibiscus bushes and smaller palm trees. To the right of the house, a stream flowed into a pond full of large koi.
"Stay around here," I said to the horses. Moonblink tossed his head, indicating that he understood.
"Let us know if you need anything. We will be inside for now." I said, walking away.
Clary and I went around to the front of the house. The stream from the back wound around the front of the house too. Here, a larger koi pond blocked the front door. To cross, there was marble steppingstones to an elaborate marble bridge. Clary and I looked at each other and laughed.
"Typical Magnus," she said.
"Yep... How much do you want to bet that he's got the whole trip planned out?" I bargained. Even when I was a wolf, Magnus always planned the best trips. Everything from zip-lining to hikes through waterfalls and caves. It would be even better this time, because I could do whatever Clary could. No more watching her zipline and snorkel. This time, I would be right there with her.
Clary and I walked into the house. Inside, it was beach themed. Appropriate for Hawaii I guess. The tile and walls were different shades of light blue and fish tanks covered most of the walls.
"You guys have the rest of the day to yourselves. I have some business to take care of. Don't stay up too late because we have a big snorkel trip tomorrow morning at nine!" Magnus called.
"Alright! Thanks!" Clary yelled back. We walked into the kitchen.
"What do you want to do?" Clary asked.
"Movie?" I said slowly. She nodded and I followed her into the theater.
Clary put in the movie and then climbed into the chair next to me. I was seated in one of the six large leather recliners. I watched her as she watched the movie. After about twenty minutes, she glanced back and me and caught me staring. She smiled and gave me a quick peck on the lips before turning back to the movie. She snuggled into my chest. When the movie ended, she fell asleep. I didn't have the heart to wake her, and I was soon asleep too.
"Wake up lovebirds!" Magnus's voice floated through the house. Clary and I were up quickly and dressed in swimsuits. We all got in the car and stopped to get breakfast at a little green coffee house. Clary got a peppermint coffee with chocolate shavings and whipped cream. I went for something a little more manly and got a strawberry frappe. Magnus, of course got some elaborate drink and I have no idea what it was. Whatever.
We checked in at the little office and walked out to our boat. Soon, everyone was on and the crew began to explain the safety features of their beloved ship.
Clary POV
Jace, Magnus, and I boarded he boat along with a group of seven teenage girls and a guy and his raven haired twin sister.
"Alec! Isabelle! Is that you?" Magnus called and began chatting with the pair. I glanced at Jace who shrugged. They walked out to the front of the boat, leaving me, Jace, and the teenagers. I watched as one whispered to the others. The girls who weren't facing us looked over their shoulders at us. More specifically, Jace. I growled, quietly so only Jace could hear. He looked at me and laughed.
"You alright there Clary?" he asked with a straight face.
"I'm just fine," I said through my clenched teeth. He turned to me and whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
"Watch this. See how lucky you are to have me." He stood up straight again and I sat down on a bench and watched him skeptically. He took off his shirt, exposing his golden washboard abs and sculpted torso. He turned back to me and winked, before walking over to the group of girls. Even the way he walked was hot. As the boat pitched and rolled with the wind and waves, Jace walked fluidly and gracefully. He reminded me of a lion, stalking his prey. I saw one of the crew, probably about nineteen, watching Jace with envy. I wandered over to the bar and sat down at the stool.
"Take notes," I said as I looked from him to Jace.
"Who is he?" he asked, taking his eyes off Jace to look at me.
"that's Jace. Player and hotshot extraordinaire. Give it ten minutes and watch as these girls become his fan girls or be reduced to vegetables." I said, taking my eyes off his muscled back to set a ten minute timer on my phone. He would probably show off a little, give them "sexy smirk" (his term, not mine) and then expect a seven way. It would probably happen if he let it. I knew he wouldn't though. I think his time as a wolf had made him much more loyal. Mostly, he just liked to prove how attractive he was. Like I didn't already know...
"How does he do it?" the bartender asked me, snapping me out of my reminiscing.
"Look at him," I said, turning my gaze to watch the bartender as he studied Jace. He wasn't half bad looking. He was actually pretty hot. He had shaggy bleached blonde hair and a swimmers body. His eyes were blue and his teeth were perfectly white and straight. I decided that it was time for me to have some fun too. I looked down at what I was wearing. Underneath, I was wearing a blue and green striped bikini. On top, I was wearing low cut, white lace coverup. I untied the top and let it hang a little lower. He looked back at me and I saw his eyes widen a little. He swallowed.
"So how old are you?" he asked nonchalantly. Truth bending time!
"Nineteen," I said quietly, licking my lips and leaning over the counter a bit more.
"R-really? Me too," he said uncertainly. I mentally praised myself. I was right. Suddenly, my phone started buzzing. I turned to the bartender.
"It's been ten minutes." I said and watched his face as he looked behind me. His mouth dropped open and his eyes got as big as saucers. Took a sip of water and turned around.
I spit the water out of my mouth when i saw Jace. He was sitting on a bench with a blonde in his lap. He was whispering in the ear of a brunette and had his hand up another blonde's shirt. I recovered my composure quickly and spun around on my stool, facing the bartender again.
"See?" I asked him, struggling to keep my voice steady. Luckily, he was still intently watching Jace and the girls. I cleared my throat loudly. He snapped out of his daze and looked at me.
"Sorry, what?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
"What's your name?" I asked, leaning over the bar again.
"Justin," he replied, "whats yours?"
"Clary." I said, smiling.
"What?" he asked.
"Oh nothing," I said, my smile growing.
"What? Don't make fun!" he said, growing distressed.
"Fine. I will let you in on a little secret. My horses name is Justin," I said quietly.
"So?" he asked.
"I will show you later," I said.
"We are here!" the capital said, lowering the steps into the crystal blue water. I looked around and saw Jace walking over to me. He had a huge smirk on his face. He needed his ego taken down a notch, I decided.
"Hey," he said once he was within earshot.
"Hey yourself" I snapped back. He looked confused.
"What did I do?" he asked, his perfect eyebrows furrowed with worry.
"More like who," I muttered. He put his hand on my shoulder.
"Oh Clary! I thought you were okay with that! You know it's fun to mess with them! I didn't come over here and get mad at you for flirting with that bartender over there," he gestured to Justin. I laughed.
"I'm just kidding! Gosh! I know your mine," I said, laying a hand on his chest.. He smirked again.
"For today," he winked at me. I knew he was kidding so I just smirked and walked away. I took off my coverup and grabbed my fins and snorkel. I felt something behind me and whirled around. Justin was behind me, standing a little close for comfort. I discreetly took a step forward.
"Want to see the best part of the reef?" he asked. I realized he had a snorkel and fins in his hand.
"Of course!" I replied. He led the way to the stairs and I followed, not daring to cast a glance at Jace. I slipped my mask on and pulled the rubber fins onto my feet. I swam a little way away from the boat so that the other passengers could get in the water. I picked my head up out of the water and saw Justin looking for me. I swam up to him.
"Ready?" he asked. I nodded and followed him away from the boat.
