Groaning, I fell face first on my couch. That was the last time I'd ever go shopping with Izzy again I promised myself, knowing fully well that she would drag me out again within the week.

"Aww come on Clary it wasn't thaaaat bad."

"Easy for you to say Si, you just followed Izzy around like a lost puppy."

He opened and closed his mouth a couple times, remarkably resembling a fish, before giving up and turning around to my kitchen.

"I agree Clare-bear it wasn't that bad."

"Don't you even start Jace." I frowned.

"Look at the bright side Clary." Izzy said walking in. "You have a bunch of new cute bras now."

"Do you now, well I want to see."

"Jace!" I groaned into a pillow.

"Yes Clarrisa?"

Though I did hate spending four hours walking around the mall, trying around every article of clothing in the building, I refused to admit to Iz that I actually did like most of the clothes I got today (save a few that she had forced me to get.)

"I hate all of you." I declared, getting off the couch and moving to my bedroom. I started putting my new items of clothing away when Simon came in.

"Hey Claire-bear what movie do you want to watch, Izzy and Jace left."

"The Avengers?" I looked up at him hopefully. He just grinned down at me in agreement even though we had seen the movie over a hundred times already. We went back to the living room where I proceeded to put the dvd into the player before settling down on the couch.

The Avengers became Captain America, and many more before I finally felt exhaustion overtake me. I cuddled closer to Simon and fell into a quiet, shopping induced sleep

The next morning I woke up with an awful crink in my neck from falling asleep in the wrong position. Getting out of my warm nest on the couch, I moved to the kitchen where Simon was eating breakfast, attempting to work out the muscles in my neck. He'd made him self coffee, leaving one for me as well, knowing fully well how much I would need it.

"So what are your plans for today?" He asked over a mouthful of cereal.

"Shhhhhhh no words till coffee." I shushed, nursing my cup.

Simon seemed anxious as we ate, tapping his foot on the floor and fidgeting. The moment that I finished drinking he nervously cleared his throat and looked at his now empty bowl.

"So ah, I'mgoingovertoIzzy'shousetodayandyourcomingwithme."

"Wait what?" I asked shaking my head.

"Um so I'm going over to Izzy's house to meet her parents and I said that you were gonna come too." He nervously looked at me.

"Si we've been to her house a thousand times before I don't see what the- wait wait to meet her parents? Why would you need to- oh my god are you two dating?"

Simon blushed.

"Wait when did this happen? And Simon Lewis why are you only telling me now."

"We kinda kissed like a week ago but decided not to say anything yet just in case. And well she decided that today I was finally going to have to meet her parents then."

The Lightwood parents were always away on business trips and were hardly ever home. I'd been to there house hundreds of times but I could count the number of times I'd talked to them on my one hand. Simon though, had never met them and from the stories he'd heard about them, he had a reason to be nervous. And considering that the first time he would talk to them would be as the boyfriend to their only daughter, well if I were in his shoes I would be trembling like a dog.

"Okay fine I'll go. One, because this is gonna be hilarious I already know, and two, I need to pay you back for getting me out that awkward conversation with one of my customers yesterday." I shuddered at the memory of having to explain to a sweet old lady exactly why I often draw nude portraits.

"Awesome, you're the best!" He exclaimed kissing my cheek as he walked past me to the door.

"Yeah, yeah Lewis go already would ya."

He chuckled quietly closing the door behind him.

Whelp finally some alone time I thought returning to my living room. Maybe I'll take a nice bath, pamper myself. I might go crazy and use a bath bomb too. Hell yeah I'll use one why not. I walked to the bathroom grabbing my laptop on the way and choosing a random playlist.

I'd just settled down into the multi-coloured bath of happiness when the doorbell rang. 'Cause I can't just soak in the water and enjoy nooooo of course not. Sighing I got up, pulling a robe over myself and going to the front door. Just as I opened it, fully ready to curse the day of my intruders birth, said intruder abruptly let themselves in and sat on my couch. Closing the door I turned around to see Jace sprawled out on it smirking to himself.

"How did you know I would come over. Or were you just hoping?" He waggled his eyebrows.

"Oh how did you know." I rolled my eyes. "Anyways I need you to leave."

"Yeah but I got locked out of my apartment so I have nowhere else to go." He looked me in the eyes trying to give me the 'poor puppy' face.

I sighed making him grin before replying. "Well then you'll just have to wait in the hall till I'm done."

That wiped the smirk off his face.

"But….." He protested as I made shooing motions at him. He groaned, getting up and opening the door.

"Fine but can you hurry?"

"Yeah of course I will." I replied, quickly closing the door after him before he could see my smirk.

Like hell I wasn't going to take purposely longer.
