I do not own the TMI series Cassandra Clare does!

Chapter 4

Jace's POV:

I awoke in the morning with a heavy feeling of guilt in my heart. I opened my eyes and looked around the small room. It was the same old, same old small yet incredibly organized room I'd had at the institute for years.

"Fuck," I said to myself. So it wasn't a dream, I really had messed up that bad. Even though I did realize Clary didn't plan on forgiving me any time soon or ever for that matter. I HAD to try, try and earn her forgiveness. Whatever it took, I'd be willing to do it…for Clary.

I rounded a corner and looked up only to see the sign for the florist shop I'd only been looking for since 2:00 o-clock. It was now 3:00 o-clock and I entered the florist shop and looked around. I had no idea what I was supposed to get Clary. Don't take me wrong, of course I knew what Clary's favorite flower was but it was native to Idris. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't? Well whatever kind of boyfriend I'd be, it probably wasn't worse than a cheating one…

"Are you looking for something?" The woman behind the counter asked me. She looked about thirty was rather tall and had wavy bleach blonde hair that could almost pass as white. I assumed she was the florist.

"I'm looking for a gift for my girlfriend." I replied.

"Awe, how cute, ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬what's the special occasion?"

"I wouldn't really call it an occasion." I murmured to myself.

"Oh no, what did you do?" she asked me. I sighed and looked slightly to my left.

"Oh I'm sorry that was completely unprofessional of me, it's really none of my business."

"No it's okay." I said to her. "I was just going through a bad time and thought it was a reasonable excuse for messing up."

"Well do you at least know what her favorite kind of flower is? "She asked

"Uhh, yes but I don't think your shop carries them." I replied

"Well just tell me what their called or what they look like. I'll have a look in the back for you."

"No I really don't-"

"You're a Nephilim aren't you? "She interrupted.

I raised my left eyebrow slightly and looked at her name tag. It said her name was Acacia, I Then asked her the same question;

"What do you mean? Are you Nephilim?"

She only laughed, "No, of course not I'm Fey."

"Oh, well in that case her favorite flower is the Medianox; the midnight flower." I explained to her. She laughed.

"Then your right we don't have them, sorry. "She apologized.

"No its okay, It's not like I expected to walk in here and see bouquets of them hanging on the wall."

She started to turn and walk out from behind the counter towards wear I was standing.

"Pardon my rudeness, but do you mind if I ask u something?" she took another step forward and almost looked as though she was staring into my eyes.

"Of course not," I said questioningly.

"Your Valentine's son, aren't you?"

I hesitated before answering. "I wouldn't exactly call him a father, but yes."

She smiled then said "I could tell, you do look like him you know that?"

I flinched and tried for a smile. "I should probably be going soon. Do you have any suggestions?" I gestured at the flowers.

"Calla Lilies are quite beautiful."

"Okay I'll take a dozen." I said and gave Acacia twenty dollars. She walked back behind the counter and arranged them into a bouquet. She handed the bouquet to me and smiled.

"Thanks." I said and walked out of the shop.

Clary POV

I hate to say this but I'd rather fight a demon and get scratched than do this... I HATE shopping! Right now I was with Magnus and Alec at a furniture store. I had gotten myself a desk, clothes drawer and so many other things. Magnus got the same thing for him and Alec's room. We went to the register and paid for our furniture pieces. When no one was looking Magnus flashed everything to the cabin.

"Alright, now for the fun stuff!" Magnus said with a mischievous smirk on his face. "We are going to shop for clothes and EVERYTHING ELSE WE NEED kitten!" He screamed out

"Do we HAVE to Magnus?" I asked him.

"Yes we do now come on I'm flashing us there!" Magnus quietly explained. I went beside him grabbed his arm and prayed that this would be over soon. When we got there Magnus immediately dragged Alec and I to Stiches, Urban Planet, Forever 21 and many other stores.

When I was in Suzy's I grabbed this beautiful emerald green dress that went to my knees and had black lace around the bottom. It was strapless and had enough cleavage to make boys eyes wander, that's for sure! It hugged my every curve which surprised me.. I thought I had none. As much as it looked good I didn't think it was right for me.

"Of course this doesn't look good on you," I muttered to myself" that's probably why Jace cheated on you.. I thought "Because you don't look good in this type of clothing." I said to myself.

"Well I think you look beautiful." A voice behind me said. I spun around just to face a very muscular chest. I looked up and saw one of the most handsome guys I have ever seen. He was tall probably over six feet had blonde hair and the most intense gray eyes I have ever seen.

"Who are you?" I asked. I seriously didn't want to be talking to a stalker or anything.

"Sorry my name is Cole. I couldn't help but hear what you said to yourself," he said aloud "if you think you aren't beautiful you need to get your eyes checked." He exclaimed. "Besides if a guy cheated on you he probably isn't worth it, OH and I forgot to ask," he said "What's your name beautiful ?" He asked me.

I snapped out of my shock and answered, "Sorry about that my name is Clary"

"Well Clary if you still doubt your beauty gives me a call sometime." Cole said while handing me a piece of paper. He looked at me once more and then left. I let the breath I was holding out and looked around since the mirror was outside the door I could see the shop. I didn't see Magnus or Alec so I assumed they went to another store. I quickly got changed back into my clothes and decided to listen to Cole. I bought the dress. I walked outside and dialed Magnus's cell. He picked up and said he was at the pharmacy. I headed inside and met Magnus and Alec.

"After this we're done right Magnus?" I asked him, Gathering everything that I needed. There that would last me a while.

"Yes kitten after we get the stuff I need we can go." He replied. So he quickly got his things and we left. When we got to the cabin I plopped onto my bed not bothering to take anything off and fell asleep. That night I dreamt of intense grey eyes... that belonged to Cole.
