Pandemonium.
I really liked Pandemonium. The noise, the fun, the crazy outfits. I used to come here with Simon. I really miss those days. What went wrong with him?
I was sitting at the bar stirring my Mojito when he appeared. Jace. He always appeared like an Angel. His eyes instantly met mine and I dropped my gaze, blushing. I could feel my heart beating in my throat, I had butterflies in my stomach. This is my general reaction to him. He came and sat beside me.
"Hi." he said in the lovely golden voice. Gold really seemed to be his color. Golden eyes, golden hair, golden voice.
"H-hi." I said, stammering. He smiled that same 'to die for' smile. I was speechless. just staring at him. I started daydreaming. That smile. It took my breath away.
"Hello. Is anyone in there?" he asked, waving his hand in front of my face. I blinked out of my daze.
"Uh, yeah?" I said, immediately thinking how stupid I sounded.
"So, aren't you gonna dance?" he asked.
"Of course I am!" I replied
"So lets go."
"Where?"
"On the dance floor, silly." he said, smiling again.
"Oh, yeah." I would bet anything girls ogled at him wherever he went. He was used to this. He pulled me onto the dance floor. He held my wrist and took me to the centre. Electric shocks started shocking me from where he held my arm. I guess, this was love. But the whole time, he didn't let my hand go. I was sincerely stunned.
Later, after the party, he asked if he could walk me home. Izzy had a car but I said yes anyway. What did I have to lose?
"So, had a good time?" he asked. I knew he had this habit of answering questions with questions.
So I asked him, "Did you?"
"Of course I did. I was with you." This was Jace. Always flirting. It sounded sincere but he had a lot of experience in making it sound sincere. "But, did you?"
"Yeah. I was with you wasn't I?" I replied. He smiled. I guess he thought I was mocking him. "Really!" I emphasized.
"Okay, okay. I believe you."
We nearing the apartment I shared with Izzy. I really don't know how but I started telling him things I hardly told anyone. Except how I felt about him.
"Hey, Clary. I need to talk to you."
"Yeah..."
"Well, I was wondering..."
"What?"
"Willyoucomeonadatewime?"
"What?"
"Will. You. Come. On. A. Date. With. Me?"
"Uh.. Okay." He smiled. I wondered if he felt the same way about me. I wondered whether he loved my smiles. I smiled back.
We were at my doorstep.
"So, I guess, bye? See you tomorrow?" he asked me.
"Okay." And suddenly, he kissed me. It was just a gentle brush of the lips but it was enough to electrocute me!
"Bye." I said, my voice unsteady. Was I getting Jace? Did he want me? Was my dream coming true?
