Love To
Chapter 12:
I stared groggily at the alarm clock, not really bothering to register the time. Finally I made out the numbers 10:30, I guess I should get up. I rolled out of bed, wincing slightly. My phone started to buzz and I answered, expecting Jace or even Isabelle, but no, it was my long lost BFF Simon.
"Oh my God! I didn't think you had time for me due to your follow Isabelle around like a love sick puppy schedule!" I smiled into the receiver.
"Hardy-har Fray." Simon scoffed back.
"So what's up?" I looked at myself in the mirror.
"The sky, obviously!"
"Okay enough of the smart ass comments, cut to the chase Lewis, I don't want to listen to your droning voice for the rest of my morning." I sighed, rubbing the little smudges of eyeliner away so I didn't resemble an offspring of a raccoon and Carrot Top.
"Hurtful, Fray, very hurtful. Any who, I wanted to know if you'd come get coffee with me." It wasn't even a question, more of a statement.
"Why not." I shrugged hanging up and going into the bathroom for a quick shower. I pulled on a pair of track shorts, my fuzzy boots, and a sweatshirt. I threw my hair into a messy bun on top of my head and trudged out to meet Simon on the corner.
"What's happening hot stuff?" I winked.
"Peachy keen Jelly Bean."
"Wow that was just…wow!" I linked my arm with his.
"So," I started, "how's Isabelle?" And then he went into a full rave over her and how "amazing she was". He didn't stop until we had sat down with our coffee in Java Jones.
"So do you think it'll get serious…?" I let it fall, waiting for Simon to finish.
"I don't know. Would it be weird if I asked her? Would you ask her for me Clary?" He looked up with pleading puppy-dog eyes.
"When did we jump back to 6th grade?" I smirked.
"Pwease Clary, you'd be my bestest fwiend if you did…." He cooed.
"Fine I will." I cracked a smile at his little victory dance, he then stopped abruptly, setting his elbows on the table and resting his chin on his interlaced fingers.
"So what about you and Mr. Golden Boy?"
"I don't know. I wouldn't say we are "dating" but we have kissed…a few times." I grinned in remembrance.
"No duh, I saw that tongue action last night." He put a finger in his open mouth and made a heaving sound.
"Yeah, but I don't know. Do you like him?"
"Me, personally, no. But I think you do a LOT! So if he makes you happy then he makes me happy. But before we decide he is so damn perfect, has he tried to drug you, rape you, or make any unwanted sexual advances or comments?" I slapped his arm at that.
"Okay you had the great best friend vibe going and now you have condescended to a flushing toilet."
"And the Oscar goes to…"
Okay I know, one of the shortest chapters I have delivered. However, it is 9:08 and I am exhausted, so in the famous words of the old woman from Airplane who speaks jive, "Cut me some slack Jack!" I just felt that Simon and Clary, seeing as how they are best friends, deserve a little chapter. Any who I will update tomorrow night and it will be longer and have a few fluffy parts ;) Please, even though it is a very miniscule chapter, review. I love reading them!
P.S. - No one really said they wanted a chapter for the Malec first date…so this is the last chance if that would be something you want to read. And seeing as how Simon and Izzy haven't really had a first date I will probably put that in one of the upcoming chapters.
