Clary P.O.V
Two weeks had passed since that night at Pandemonium and I couldn't be happier! Jace and I were officially a couple, Alec had recently told his parents he was gay and dating Magnus, and Isabelle and Simon had a thing going on. They refused to say that they were actually dating, but whenever I looked over my shoulder, they seemed to be making out in a dark corner.
Even though I had so many good things in my life, Valentine's threat kept me awake at night. The little silver bell he gave me was hidden in my underwear drawer. I had no idea if I should do what he tells me. If I didn't join him he'd kill everyone I love, but if I did, I'd be killing thousands of innocent downworlders. What should I do?
I was still lost in thought as I went into the kitchen and started making myself breakfast. I had just put some pancake batter in a skillet when I felt warm, muscular arms wrap around my waist. "Mmmm, pancakes. Did you make any for me?" Jace's warm breath in my ear sent shivers down my spine.
"Nope, if you're hungry then you can make your own food. I'm not your maid!"
"Damn! Then what am I gonna do with the sexy maid's costume that I bought for you?" He fake pouted and pretended to think hard about it.
I turned around glared at him, daydreaming about cutting off his manly parts. "You better be joking."
Sensing that I was about 2 seconds away from hitting him with a frying pan, he backtracked. "Of course I was joking! You're already sexy without a super- hot maid's costume!"
Satisfied that I had scared him, I leaned in and tried to give him a quick peck on the lips.
Jace had other ideas. He wrapped his arms around my waist and crushed his lips to mine. Responding immediately, I wrapped my arms around his neck and started playing with his hair. Jace released a groan from the back of his throat and backed me up against the counter. We continued to kiss, wrapped up in our own little universe, when I smelled something burning.
"Jace, do you smell that?" By now he had started to kiss my neck, not even paying attention to what I had just said. I looked towards the stove and instantly found the source of the burning. "My pancakes!"
I broke away from Jace and ran over to the stove, grabbing the skillet off the burner and throwing it into the sink. I turned the water on and watched as the pan gave a loud hiss, and steamed up. I turned back to Jace, angry. "You ruined my pancakes! This is all your fault!"
"Relax Becca; you still have some batter left."
Feeling like I needed to exact some revenge, I walked over to the batter, picked it up, and said, "Now I don't have a pan to cook it on. I guess I'll just have to use your 'hot' face and see if that cooks it."
I dumped the pancake mix all over his head.
I was laughing hysterically as I watched him wipe the batter out of his eyes. The clumpy mess covered his entire head and neck. He looked down at me, because I was rolling around on the ground from laughing, and gave me his scary-calm expression. I was instantly a little scared. "You're so dead Fray."
Not wanting to find out what he had in mind, I ran out of the kitchen and sprinted down the halls of the Institute. I could feel Jace's heavy footsteps pounding on the ground behind me and I knew that it was just a matter of time before I got caught. I sprinted even faster.
I had almost reached my bedroom when Jace tackled me to the floor. I yelped in pain as Jace landed on top of me, but forgot about it as he started kissing me. The kiss only lasted for a few seconds because then he started to wipe his batter-covered face all over my shirt. "What the hell Jace?!"
He looked up at me and faked an innocent expression. "What? You got my face dirty so I just assumed that you were going to help me clean it off."
I was about to tell him off, but then I heard people laughing. I craned my neck around to find Izzy, Simon, Alec, and Magnus bursting with laughter. "What's so funny?" I knew I was being a bit hostile, but I was in a bad mood.
Magnus, wearing blue leather pants and a green matador's jacket, stopped laughing and spoke up. "Darling, that pancake batter is tanner than you are."
Isabelle decided to throw in her own joke, "Woah bitch, don't blow your stack!"
Everyone started to laugh again, but when I saw Simon open his mouth, I pointed my finger at him in warning. "Don't you dare."
He threw his hands up in surrender. "Okay, okay. We just came here to tell you that there's been an increase in demon activity and that we're going hunting tonight. Do you and Jace wanna come?"
I looked up at Jace, who was still lying on top of me, and nodded my head. "Sure thing Bloodsucker, what time should me and Rebecca be ready to leave at?"
"Be ready to go at 7 tonight. We'll be in the woods so dress comfy." Alec spoke this time.
They all turned to leave, but right before they rounded the corner, Simon turned around and said, "See you on the flip side!"
Did any of you pick up on my pancake jokes? Yes? No?
I'm sorry this is a filler chapter! But have no fear because some serious stuff is about to go down.
P.S: I'm planning on getting a Beta soon. I have it narrowed down to about 5 people and will be contacting them soon. I'm sorry if I don't update for a while, but I'll be getting things in order with the new Beta.
See you soon, ByTheAngel99
