Hey my little minions. Guess who is back and to ready to stay, hopefully? This author. Im so sorry about the huge absence and the gap that I left in the stories. Things will most likely get back on track with the old schedule and stuff. I have a new Beta reader. Now I can finally finish this for you guys and hopefully make everything better and bigger. Read and enjoy my little minions.
"So what you are saying is that a kiss on the forehead isn't considered a first kiss. The only thing that counts is if you touch lips, right?" I ask Izzy over the racks of dresses and skirts. She stomped right over to my room at the crack of dawn, shoved Max into the dorm and fished me out in exchange. She pushed me into her chair of cruel and unusual punishment and went to work on my pain. I hope that all of you can tell that I'm talking about my hair and makeup. She ruined my perfectly good morning with Jace.
Flashback to this morning
I woke up in his arms, in the exact same spot that we had fallen asleep in. The arm on my hips did startle me a bit she I had woken up, but then I remembered whose it was, whose bed I had spent the night in. I had slept in the bed of Jace Lightwood.
HOLY SHIT, I SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE BED AND ARMS OF JACE LIGHTWOOD.
I had tried my best not to wake him up when I was trying to get out of his embrace. I really had to go pee again. I tried to wiggle this way and that way but the guy had an iron grip around me. I was a little desperate to get out of his arms. It would of looked terrible if I peed his bed with him in it. I would be the largest laughing stock of the school and probably the entire town seeing as it wasn't all that big.
With one finally effort, I jerked my body violently against his arms, trying to break that seal that could even out do super glue. I did manage to get out of his arms, but I failed to manage to see where exactly I was on the bed. Lets just say that I was pretty close to the edge and now my back and butt had found a new spot on the floor. I heard a chuckle coming from above me.
"If you wanted out, you could of just asked, you know that right? No need to go and injure yourself. I was awake for most of the time that you were trying to get out." Jace said leaning his locks over the side of the bed and straight above my face.
"You are an assholes, you know that right? I went through all of that trouble to try and not wake you up. And what happens, you are already awake. Some gentleman that you are."
"Well since I'm not a gentleman, I can just tell everyone about how you are scared of storms and were just dying to cuddle with me last night. That is what a non-gentleman would do, right? Might want to think before you speak next time Morgenstern." I couldn't even believe that he would even think about telling anyone about that. I pushed out of the room and into the bathroom to relieve myself. Then in the living room I was greeted by an awesome surprise.
A giant gaping hole was on the outside wall with a tree limb resting on the couch and the chairs. Not that I wasn't happy that we didn't have more light in the room, but we didn't have that much shelter from the outside world now, defeating the purpose of the whole inside living space. Luckily, Jace walked in seconds later so that I was able to see his reacting to it.
"Oh my freaking God. What the hell happened here? How did I not hear this last night, I'm the lightest sleeper ever? And I just got the new Xbox, how am I going to explain this to my parents when I tell them later?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that is going to include a hell of a lot of pleading and promising to do all of your chores." I said smugly as payback for the almost blackmail attempt earlier.
"That isn't funny, Morgenstern." His scowl was intimidating, but he still seemed to have a sort of softness to him. Thank that is when Izzy made the whole switch and saved my sorry ass.
End of flashback
"So what exactly are we looking at dresses for me if we know that I don't have a date? It would be like buying all kinds of baby stuff if you are sterile or gay. Sorry if that was offensive to you, I'm not really used to actually knowing people like that, well knowing people in general. I have terrible social skills when it comes to people." Great Clary, go and ruin your first friend in a really long time or ever.
"I'm not offended, it isn't my place to be offended by that. Trust me, you can tell that you weren't around people all that much. And the dress is for the masquerade, which means that no one will know who you are. So much easier to get a guy there if they don't know who you are. That is what I would be doing if I didn't have Si."
"I still don't see why I have to go. Its not like I'm going to have this great Cinderella and Prince Charming moment. Plus, it isn't that hard to pick out a red haired girl in a crowd."
"I already have that planned. Colored hair spray that washes out as soon as it gets wet. No one will ever know, unless you want for a certain someone to notice you. Don't think that I didn't try to exchange Max out in the middle of the night and saw you two cuddling. Your secret is safe with me as long as you do as I say." I can see that blackmail skills run in the family.
"He was probably just using me because I was there and another girl wasn't. But I guess that I really would like to know if that was a natural thing to go after any girl or was it just me."
"Oh my gosh. I can totally set it up for you with him. Get him away from the slut he is with, tell him that you were turned down by everyone you asked, he will take pity because he is Jace and he will go and dance with you at least once. Most people will just think it is him living up his playboy lifestyle again. You can find out what you need without him knowing."
"But will it not seem a little suspicious if I come back with a dress but I don't ever show up to the dance? If he sees the dress then it is all ruined."
"Put it in my room, I can always say that I couldn't make up my mind and pick it the day off based on mood. It will not be the first time that I have done something like that. Then just say that you are going to help me get ready all day. We will just make sure that you are home before Jace so he thinks that you did spend the night home." This girl can sure thinks of things on a whim, there were almost no loose ends to the entire thing.
"Great, I'm so excited for this. My first real dance ever is a masked ball. Now I just have to figure out what dress I want exactly."
"Trust me, this is the easiest part of the entire plan. Shopping is without a doubt, hands down, the thing that I am the best in. Well that and putting people together, which often go hand and hand with each other."
Time lapse (roughly about an hour)
So we have narrowed most of the sections down to almost identical copies of themselves. Each sleeveless, poofy, floor length without heels, only centimetres off the ground when wearing them, and had a lace up back to give extra curves as Izzy had put it. One is a black with a million rhinestones over it, one in a pure silver and lastly one in the exact same shade as jace's hair and eyes. All of these were also to complement Izzy's burgundy dress, she says so that she could match my hair secretly, in my similar style.
Then it was down to the black and the gold. Izzy pointed out that while gold would match Jace, it would also clash with all the other girls because that seemed to be the main color that most girls were wearing, that and silver. The black one did seem to give off my of a deadly and sexy appeal to me, busting out the curves in subtle, but noticeable ways.
The whole character was supposed to go completely different from what I normally was. So along with that meant Carmel hair with gold highlights. I don't see how see can get highlights from spray on color, but who am I to get in the way of Izzy's dreams for me. I feel like a giant puppet.
We had a blast shopping. I honestly didn't think that it could of really gotten that fun. Dress shopping was always a sort of uptight project for me because nothing ever seemed to fit with my small frame. I had decent curves but what Izzy always picked out made me look like a supermodel. She officially declared herself my personal shopper and I can't go cloth shopping without her consent on what I get now. I feels nice to have someone looking out for you.
Jace POV
"Jeez Kaelie, just get it through that thick skull of yours. I will not sleep with you while there is a giant hole is the side of my dorm room. All kinds of perverts could look up in here. I'm sure that you could find some other guy to take care of your 'needs' right now." I whisper shouted at her.
"Why are you whispering? There is only a hole, not a microphone and a million different speakers attached around the school. And I don't want another guy, I want you Jacey."
"Well, I'm not in the mood right now. Sebastian is right down the hallway. I'm pretty sure that he would take you up on you offer."
"It is you new roommate, isn't it? That little slutbag is trying to steal you away from me. Well tell her that this is not going to end well for any of us." She stomped out of the room in a fit, making sure to slam the door for dramatics. She was right about Clary. There was just something about her that made my skin want to crawl a bit, not in a bad way though. But the slut part, she was entirely far from it.
So pretty nice for writing in what seems like forever. I hope that all of y'all liked it. You guys know what to do. Please follow this stories and review please. Ideas are welcome for anything, I really like what some of you tell me. Criticism is also excepted, but don't be too mean please. I love you my little minions
And thanks Beta for doing this for me
