Paparazzi chapter 4

A/n: Wrote another chapter... thanks for the reviews. Two chapters this weekend. Anyway, this chapter is about the date , hence the title. So this is basically fluff. The third person part isn't written very well, but I was kinda rushing. If there are any mistakes , sorry my sister wanted to use the computer so I was typing REALLY . I was thinking of watching a movie w/my bestie, any suggestions? ... ENJOY! :)

The first time you fall in love, it changes your life forever, and no matter how hard you try, the feeling never goes away...especially if it's Jace Lightwood. :)

Clary's POV

I struggled to comb my frizzy hair while talking to Izzy. I ran around the room, panicking. It was already 9:50.

"You're gonna look fine, geez you sound like it's the end of the world,"Izzy said trying to calm me.

"Well, you should see my room," I joked. "And I'm going on a date with Jace Lightwood. I sounded like an obsessed fangirl, I'm just crazy nervous right now." A moment of silence passed as I quickly reapplied my lip gloss seeing that me biting my lip of nervousness has resulted in wiping it off. "Sorry, it must be awkward, I mean he is your brother."

"No, it's fine, but you could talk to Bri about it." She suggested mentioning our other friend Brianna.

"Maybe when we get back to school on Monday. Come with me?" Isabelle decided nervously.

"Sure, I can't wait to see her reaction, " I smiled at the though. Bri was obsessed with Jace. Exibit A-her room.

I heard a car pull up on the driveway, "He's here, I'll call you tomorrow, Bye, " I squealed a bit at the end. I'm not exactly the most popular person at school so, although this is not my first date,it was pretty close.

"K, have fun," I could practically see her smirking when she said that. I quickly shoved my phone in my pocket and practically flew downstairs.

Third Person POV

Before Clary went out the door, she looked at the clock in the hallway. 10:00. Exactly.

She walked out the door to Jace.

"Hey," he greeted her smiling.

"Hi,wow I can see it now, front page headline, Jace Lightwood on time" she joked. He just laughed and gave a little peck on her cheek making her blush to his delight.

In the limo they made small talk like" What's your favorite color?" Then it got more intimate like "Are you a virgin." And apparently the answer to that was exactly what they expected. It also resulted in Clary turning as red as her hair. Nearing their destination, they were sitting very close, but they were both secretly enjoying it.

Before getting out of the limo, Jace put on his hat and sunglasses. They got their tickets and bought tons of snacks. Clary wanted to watch Prom, which Jace endured by snacking on popcorn and chips. After the movie, they snuck in 3 more. Soul Surfer, Source Code, and Rio.

Getting back in the limo, Jace asked, "Where do you want to eat?"

Clary thought for a while, "Mcdonalds." Jace wrinkled his nose.

"Not everyone eats at 5 star restaurants you know, and besides, you should try it." After getting their food they went outside. "Where's the limo?" She said noticing that the long limo was gone, replaced by a very expensive looking Lamborghini Reventon.

"I thought we should try to be more inconspicuous." He explained.

"Yeah,"Clary replied not really seeing how that car would be inconspicuous. In fact, people might stare at it as much as the limo. Jace opened the door for Clary like a perfect gentlemen, and Clary giggled. After about 15 minutes of driving, they stopped and parked at the edge of a hill topped with lush, and soft green grass. They also had an amazing view of the city. Clary thought it felt like heaven.

Clary's POV

This place was wonderful. It was very peaceful. I could hear the birds chirping away in the trees, the wind blowing softly, and the sounds of the city sounded distant. You could see far out to the ocean from here. I felt like I was flying.

We were on the hood of Jace's car eating our lunch and making small talk. I turned to Jace "This place is amazing,"

He turned to look at me, but his gaze didn't linger, instead he turned back to stare at the horizon as he talked, "Yeah, it really is, I use to live around here. Sometimes my dad took me here on the weekends. This place makes me feel free, like I could l let go of everything. If I had a bad day, it would cheer me up. When I was little, I thought it was magical. Although that might not be true, it really is a special place."

My eyebrows wrinkled in confusion,"You mean Robert?"

"No, Stephen Herondale, my real dad," he said.

"I'm sorry" I felt bad for asking.

"S'okay" He replied. We went back to silence. With anyone else, it would have awkward, but with Jace, it was comfortable.

Jace's hands cupped my eyes as he guided me. "Where are we going?"

"If I tell you, it won't be a surprise." As we got closer, I could hear waves crashing, smell the salt in the air, and feel the soft sand in my toes. He let go of my eyes and watched me take in the spectacular scenery. We were alone, which made it more beautiful.

"Wow" was all I could say, I was speechless. We found a spot in the sand and sat there watching the sunset.

"Close your eyes" Jace instructed. About 5 minutes later, I felt him put a necklace on me. "Open your eyes," I looked down and saw my missing necklace. "Now look over there" My gaze followed where he pointed and gasped. There in the sand was a gigantic heart made of lit candles. I walked over. In the middle of the heart was Be my girlfriend?

I turned to Jace, "Yes, of course" He then leaned in and kissed me. When he pulled back, I blushed furiously.

"Jace, you didn't have to make it like a marriage proposal." I said.

"I wanted to make it special," he replied.

"I'll remember this forever, thank you so much" We found our way back to our previous spot and talked.

"Clary, I want to apologize for when we first met, I'll make it up to you, promise."

"It's okay, Jace, " I smiled.

I looked up at the stars and saw a shooting star.

"Make a wish," I closed my eyes.

"What'd you wish for?" he asked.

"I wish this moment would last forever." I replied.

"Me too."he agreed. After 20 minutes, he drove me home. Before I got out of the car, I leaned in and gave him a quick kiss.

"Thank you, for everything."

"No problem, I'll call you tomorrow"

"Ok" I smiled, and walked happily into my house.
