Chapter 6

APOV

I blinked adjusting my eyes to the light. Clary was peacefully sleeping, her head resting in my chest. I kissed her forehead and carefully slipped off the bed, trying not to disturb her sleep. Her brows furred and she curled closer to the spot I had just been. Like if she knew I wasn't there. She looks so cute when she's asleep, but again, she always looks cute. Angel, she's so beautiful. She looks like an angel, I smiled as she keeps turning in the bed, looking for me. I kissed her forehead and made my way to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I hurried back to her room. Clary was sitting in the bed with sleepy eyes and messy hair. I smiled at her and walked next to her, I leaned over her and kissed her forehead. She smiled at me and buried her face in my chest, she made a sound of relief. I kissed the top of her head, she looked up at my blue eyes. She kissed my cheek and got up.

"Goodmorning."

"Goodmorning," she kissed my cheek again.

"Why don't you go back to sleep?" I suggested her. She shook her head.

"Don't leave."

"I won't," I assured her. She walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Her sketchbook was in the nightstand. I wanted to look at it but I know it's something private to her. I draw sometimes too, but from what I have seen, I'm no anywhere near as good as her. I haven't drawn in a while. We had all been busy going to meetings and searching for Clary.

Clary came out the bathroom, she smiled at me and sat next to me. I kissed the top of her head. She gently pushed me back and curled up with me. I pulled the comforter on top of us and wrapped my arms around her.

"I thought you had left," she said. "But then you walked out the bathroom…" she let out a relived sigh.

"Sorry. And don't even worry because I would never leave you." I kissed her forehead and pulled her even closer to me. "Clary I lo-like you so much I wouldn't leave or hurt you." I almost said love, good thing I caught myself before it was too late. If I tell her I love her she might freak out, it's too early for that. It's just that I have fallen for her really fast and hard. It just happened. I want to be with her all the time, I want to kiss her, to protect her, I don't want to lose her.

"I like you too," she smiled. "Like too much," she giggled.

"Oh, really?" I arched my brows.

"Yea, really," she giggled. I kissed her forehead, cheeks, and her pink lips. I placed butterfly kisses all over her face. I rolled over so I was on top. My arms were holding me above her. I kissed her forehead, her cheeks, her nose, her chin, and her throat. She giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck. I kept placing butterfly kisses all over her face.

"Kiss me," she said.

"That's what I'm doing," I told her.

"No," she said. She pulled me down and pressed her lips on mines.

I was a bit shocked because she caught me off guard. My brain started working again and I started moving my lips against hers, our lips were moving in sync. The kiss wasn't rough or hungry, it was sweet and loving. We pulled away to catch our breath.

"That was a kiss," Clary breathed.

"A really good kiss," I chuckled. "How about we go for another one?"

"That sounds good to me," Clary smirked.

I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers. The kiss began slow but soon it became heated. Clary pulled our bodies closer, I was now holding myself with my elbows. I tugged Clay's bottom lip, she parted her lips allowing my tongue in her mouth. Our tongues battled for dominance. My blood was hot under my skin, my skin was burning for Clary's touch. My phone went off. We pulled away from our heated make out. Clary gave me my phone. It was Isabelle. I groaned but answered anyways.

"Helllo?"

"A-ec ….. get … -ere….. -or you." Damn signal.

"What? I can't hear you." I pressed my back to the headboard. Clary sat next to me and rested her head in my shoulder. I kissed the top of her head.

"MOM AND DAD ARE ASKING FOR YOU! I TOLD THEM YOU WENT ON A WALK. YOU NEED TO GET HERE!" okay, that was loud.

"I can hear you now," I told her.

"And I need to talk to you about you and Clary."

"What?"

"I know about you two," she said.

"How?" I asked.

"Well I kinda suspected it and I heard Clary talking to Simon and Magnus, I asked her and she admitted it."

"Oh," was all I said.

"You're with Clary right?!"

"No I'm at the park catching butterflies." Clary giggled.

"Idiot. You can see her later, now come back lover boy!"

"Fine," I sighed. I hanged up and looked at clary. "You didn't told me Isabelle knew about us."

"I forgot," she blushed. "I'm sorry. Are you mad?"

"NO! Of course not!" I said. I lifted her chin and gave her a small kiss in the lips. "I have to go. But you're always welcome to come."

Clary sat in my lap and kissed me. She touched my cheek with her fingertips, tracing my cheekbones. I closed my eyes enjoying her innocent touch. She pressed her forehead against mine and pecked my lips. She moved her head to the crook of my neck, she was breathing in my neck, giving me goosebumps. Being like this with her gives me a feeling that is hard to describe, but I know I only need a word; love. I know that love is what I'm feeling. I love Clary, I have accepted that already. I have fallen for her so fast. I love her. I love every little thing about Clary. I wish I could stay like this forever. But I have to go right know.

"I have to go," I said and kissed her forehead. Clary got off me. I grabbed all my things and opened the window. "Will I see you later?"

"Yea, I'll just take a shower and eat something," she said. I kissed her and jumped out the window.

I sneaked into the house without being seen. I was about to close my bedroom but it was pushed open. Isabelle walked in and closed the door behind her. I groaned and sat down in my bed.

"You didn't sleep here did you?" she asked, sitting next to me.

"I did, I just left in the morning before any of you woke up," I lied.

"Don't lie to me, brother."

"I'm not!"

"I woke up to get a drink at four and I checked on you, guess what? You weren't here."

"Why are you checking on me at four in the morning?"

"The day that they interrogated Clary I walked into your room and Clary was here. The two of you were asleep. I thought maybe Clary was here again," she said.

"Fine! I didn't slept here. I slept with Clary."

"What?! That fast!"

"Whaaa- NO! Not like that! For Gods sake! Isabelle, you have such a perverted mind!" I whisper- shouted. "We just slept in the same bed. Nothing happened." Isabelle laughed.

"I know little brother, you too are too innocent to move that fast."

"I'm your older brother!" I said annoyed. "Now leave, I'm gonna take a shower."

I pushed her out the room ignoring her protests.

I washed the plate where I had eaten breakfast. As soon as I was done the doorbell rang. Clary! It has to be her. My parents were in their office, Isabelle was in her room, so was Max, and I don't know where Jace is. I rushed to the front door and opened it. Clary was standing there looking hot. She was wearing black leather pants, combat boots, and a white tank top. I smiled at her before giving her a quick kiss and pulling her inside. I closed the front door and pressed her to it. I placed my hands at her waist and kissed her passionately. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. Someone cleared their throat and we pulled back.

"Hello Izzy," Clary smiled at Isabelle.

"You two-"Isabelle was cut off by my parents.

"Hello, Clary." my mom greeted her with a smile.

"Hello," Clary said to both of my parents. My dad smiled at her.

"Has Bane told you guys the news?" dad asked.

"No? What are you talking about?" Isabelle asked. Just as he was about to answer the door bell rang. I opened since I was closer to the door. It was Magnus and Simon.

"Well, we'll leave you guys, Maryse and I will be back in a couple of hours." And with that they left.

"Goodmorning," Clary said to Magnus and Simon.

"Morning," Simon smiled at her.

"Goodmorning, darling," Magnus said and kissed her cheek.

"Dad said you have news," Isabelle told Magnus.

"Well, yes." Magnus said. "There's going to be a ball."

"Really!" Isabelle shouted exited. "When?!"

"Today," Magnus said as he sat at the loveseat.

"What? How can you are telling us until now?!" Isabelle asked sitting next to him.

"Because they just give in this morning, I'm planning everything." He explained. The front door opened and Jace walked in holding Aline's hand.

"Goodmorning," I Clary said to them as she sat down in the other loveseat. I sat next to her. Simon sat in the other side, Clary was between Simon and me.

"Goodmorning," Aline said not looking at Clary in the eyes, the guilt. Jace just gave her a small smile.

"How did you got them to give in?" Isabelle asked Magnus.

"Well its actually like a welcome ball, for Alec and Clary," he explained . Wait, what?

"What?" I asked.

"It's to celebrate that you and Clary are back," he explained again. "What do you not understand?"

"I have to find a dress!" Isabelle said.

"I'll help you and Clary with that, don't worry." Magnus said. "So, no training for anyone today, you all have to find a date, and clothes." I groaned.

"But I didn't train yesterday!" Clary protested. "And the day before I trained only a little!"

"We can train tomorrow, "Isabelle said.

"But-"

"No buts," Magnus said. She sighed defeated. There was another knock in the door. Jace opened it because he was closer. Sebastian and Allison walked in. Hell.

"Hello," Sebastian said to everyone.

"Alec!" Allison beamed.

"Hello, Allison, Sebastian." I said.

"Hello," Clary said to both of them.

"Clary, can I talk to you?" Sebastian asked. Clary seemed unsure.

"Can it be here?" she asked.

"Alright. So, err… everyone is talking about the ball tonight. I was wondering if you wanted to come with me?" My body tensed and I clenched my jaw.

"Alec! Are you going to asked me?" Allison asked me. oh, by the angle!

"No. that's not possible," Magnus said.

"And why not?!" Allison asked annoyed.

"Because Alec and Clary are going together," Magnus said. "The ball is because of them, they HAVE to go together." I smiled, and I saw Clay smile too.

"But-" Allison began but was cut off by Magnus.

"No protests."

CPOV

I walked out the bathroom. Alison had already left, she was beyond angry because I'm going to the ball with Alec and not her. She had dragged out Sebastian with her too.

"Clary," I heard my name being called. I looked up, it was Aline.

"Yea?"

"I-I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I'm sorry for everything that happened to you. Please forgive me," she looked sincere. "I can't even sleep at night. All I think about is that it's all my fault."

"Aline, stop. Is not your fault. I have nothing to forgive you about. None of the things that happened are your fault."

"Y-You f-forgive me?"

"Like I said I have nothing to forgive you about. But if it's what you want to hear, I forgive you."

"Thank you. Thank you so much.

"Cla- oh, Aline," Alec said looking from me to Aline.

"Thanks again Clary," Aline said and walked away from us.

"What was that about?" Alec asked.

"I'll explain later." I told him.

"so.. um, I-I was wondering if you would go to the ball with me. I mean I know Magnus said that we have to go together but I wanted to ask you anyways. And if you don't want to go I understand, I'll just talk to Magnus and-" He was babbling.

"Alec!"

"Yea..?"

"Of course I'll go with you. Not just because Magnus says so. I want to go with you."

"Really?"

"Really," I giggled. He gave me a cheeky smile. He pulled me by the waist and pressed his lips to mine.

Is short I know.

I love you guys so much!
