I went back to the apartment Alec and I shared. It was kind of small but big enough for two people to live in. When I returned, I saw that Alec wasn't there. I guessed he must be with his boyfriend, Magnus. Alec was gay. It wasn't embarrassing. I still like him. I went to my room and lay down on my bed thinking. I was just thinking about Clary and what I did. Suddenly, I found myself fantasizing about how her eyes looking into mine. Beautifully green and full of interest. I had liked her since high school. She was still 'The Nerd' but she was nice. She would always teach me some sums in Math when I didn't understand them. I thought those glasses looked cute on her. I saw how she would melt at my smile and I felt elated that she actually liked me. Now I remembered that I had asked her out on a date. It was time to think where I would take her. I was thinking maybe a fast food joint, or a really expensive one. I really had money for the expensive one and I would have loved to take her there. I really didn't know the name of the place, but I sure knew how to get there.

I called Clary. She was little groggy but her voice lightened up as soon as she heard my voice.

"Hi, Clary!" I said.

"Hi. Who's this?" She replied.

"Jace."

"Oh! Hi, Jace!"

"Hi. Well, I was wondering where to take your beautiful self tomorrow and I really needed your opinion."

"Okay. What have you thought of?"

"Well, maybe KFC or something like that or a really classy place. Which do you prefer my beautiful angel?"

"Jace, are you drunk? Stop trying to flatter me. It won't work." But I could hear her joy in her voice.

"Okay. But tell me. Which one?"

"The really classy one, as long as you have enough money and I don't have to pull out my battered wallet."

"You won't have to. I'm very rich you know."

"Oh, really?" she said, now teasing me.

"Yes, yes. Anyway, what are you doing?"

"Talking to you."

"Well, obviously. Other than that."

"Thinking about you."

"Okay. Now I am immensely flattered and can go to sleep without further ado."

"Are you really sleepy?"

"No. But after you put down the phone I might just fall asleep."

"Okay. Because I'm so tired and worn out after you kissed me. Oh, sorry! Was that even meant to be a kiss?"

"Yes. Wasn't it?"

"No. You teased me! I don't like it!"

"Okay. Fine. I won't tease you. Happy?"

"Yes." she yawned, "Sorry Jace, but I'm so sleepy I can only talk to you tomorrow."

"Okay. Good night."

"Good night." she put down the phone. Soon after I fell asleep thinking about her voice.
