Love To
Chapter 4:
Jace looked at me. He had on a smug smile, and I felt my cheeks burn, embarrassed that I fell asleep on him.
"How long was I asleep?" I rubbed my eyes, I wasn't in Magnus's apartment anymore but in the truck in front of my apartment building.
"You slept for about three hours. No one wanted to wake you, so I carried you to the truck after we finished Sixteen Candles, which I might add was pretty good." He smiled fondly at the memory." I groaned, crap I forgot to call my mom and Luke. Jace seemed to read my mind.
"Don't worry, Isabelle called them." I stared at his golden face. He was handsome with his strong, angular features. He caught me looking and smirked. I rolled over him, hopping out of the truck, keys in hand.
"Goodnight Jace." I waved going up to the sidewalk I saw a silver Porsche parked behind Luke's truck, Alec and Isabelle sat inside. I waved at them.
"Goodnight Clary." My name rolled off Jace's tongue and it sent a shiver down my spine. I smiled at Luke and Mom as I passed and headed for my warm bed. It was so nice, my eyelids grew heavy and I was asleep in minutes.
Jace's POV
I fell onto my bed at the Institute. The night had been a success. I remembered her red curls and her warm body resting against mine as she slept. It was nice and she fit against me like a puzzle piece. She had muttered my name in her sleep, which sent a warm flush to my cheeks, but no one was paying attention. I had wrapped my arm around her waist, holding her closer. She had nuzzled into my neck, setting my nerves ablaze. I sighed, thinking of the little thing. I had to do something about the way I felt, had to see if she felt the same, but I didn't know how. Maybe I'd recruit Izzy to look into it. The thing that frustrated me was knowing that she was Valentine's daughter, the man responsible for my father and mother's death.
I went to the kitchen. I was hungry and got an apple. I saw Isabelle's phone plugged into the charger. Should I do it, or would it be weird? Why not, what's the worst that could happen? I grabbed the phone, scrolling to Clary's number. I wrote it down on the post-it note sitting next to the land line.
After finishing off my apple I went back to my room. I was nervous, but why should I be. It's not like I've never texted girls before, but she wasn't like other girls. She made me nervous, her reactions to me especially. I wanted to make her happy but we had to get close before she would let me. I grabbed my cell, typing her number into my contacts. Friday night hunting at Pandemonium- Jace. I sent the message without a second thought. A few seconds later my phone buzzed, making my stomach flip and my heart race. Mkay. Would this be a date? Hm I guess it depends on her perception of it.
Alec's POV
Magnus had been texting me since I had left. I liked him, but no one could know that, well, except Izzy. While Jace had been saying goodbye to Clary, Iz had been teasing me about Magnus's obvious flirting. He was attractive and very bold. I was more of a quiet guy but something about Magnus made me a bit more outgoing. I was glad I had met Clary today. I think she knows I'm different, but if she does she doesn't care. I could talk to her so easily, even though I knew her for only a day. I didn't care that Jace had feelings for her even though I had feelings for him. Clary was definitely a good match for my parabati.
Hey cuties ;) wanna go out Friday night? Magnus text made Alec smile.
Sure. Where at?
Takis?
Yeah, sounds good.
Mkay! See u tomorrow:*
Night
I laid back hearing Jace's footsteps in the hall. He must be going to get something to eat. I sighed and turned out my light slowly falling asleep. A loud knock sounded on my door and an excited Jace burst into his room.
"Alec we are going demon hunting on Friday night."
"Uh I have some stuff to do. I'll meet you and Iz there." He squinted at Jace.
"Stuff?" Alec nodded. "Oh well. Clary's coming too."
"Oh better bring that Simon along for Izzy's sake." This made Jace wrinkle his nose, but he turned on his heel and headed back to his room leaving Alec in the dark.
