AN: This is a chapter that will leave you hanging for a bit so all I'm saying is….. Sorry! And I finally got my laptop back so I'm really happy that I can write and upload without having to sneak around! :D Updates will be next Saturday but then I'll probably take a brake because I have exams and won't be able to write and no other chapters are written yet so…. But after my exams I have two weeks of vacation so that means more writing time! Yeeeeey!
Chapter 10: I've got a feeling. (1.551 words!)
The next day Isabelle confronted Clary with the events from last night. Clary put her head in her hands in embarrassment. " Oh by the Angel. I've got to handle my liquor!" Iz laughed at Clary which only caused her to blush even more.
"Oh yes, indeed but it was the funniest thing I saw in a while!" Clary rolled her eyes. Isabelle also thought that it was the only time she saw Clary really carefree.
"Of course it is. I'm hilarious when I'm drunk but let's hope I will remember what happens tonight!" Izzy looked up from Clary's nails that she was painting. In soft pink, of course.
"Hey! Don't hold back tonight! It will be your night and get wasted, girl!" Clary laughed at Izzy. They were getting ready for the party in a few hours. Normally people would get everything for the party itself ready but with Magnus, it didn't took that long.
When they were ready changing and doing their hair and nails – which took a few hours, knowing Iz, Clary and Isabelle headed downstairs. Clary was wearing a black cocktail dress an Izzy was wearing a white one. Jace was looking at Clary the same way he had the first time they were going to a party of the Great Magnus Bane. Matt stood also at the end of the stairs, smiling at Clary. Si looked at Izzy full of amazement, passion and love and Clary knew they wouldn't be able to keep their hand of each other the entire night.
"You look very sexy." Matt whispered in Clary's ear when she stood at the bottom of the stairs. Clary winked at him and giggled before she headed off to the portal Magnus had made for everyone. Matt shook his head in laughter before following too.
Once in Magnus apartment they were greeted by loud music, a bunch of people and the smell of alcohol, sweat and fun. Clary headed to the bar followed by Levi. Isabelle and Simon had disappeared already and Matt was searching for someone to dance with. Jace felt a little out of place here since he really didn't want to be there. Alec and Magnus were laughing in the couch. Jace sighed while heading over there to be the fifth wheel.
"Hey Clary?" Clary turned around. She had a few shots so she was a little tipsy. Levi guessed it was because she was so little that she couldn't hold that much liquor.
"Hey Levi! My friend! How's it going?" Levi raised an eyebrow at her.
"Shouldn't I been the one asking you? You're super drunk! Isn't it a bit time for you to stop drinking? I wouldn't want you to do something you'll regret later!" Clary looked at Levi and smiled.
"Oh no! We're here to have fun! Besides, I want to loosen up a bit! This week was stressful! I mean, what can you expect? You find some valuable information that could destroy everything, you return home for the first time in a few years and the you found out that your so called one true love has an amazing, more beautifuler girlfriend now! Is that even a word? Anyway, you would be stressed out too, right?" Levi nodded slowly. She was a little tipsy too, so she couldn't follow Clary's rambling so fast.
"But girl, I wouldn't want him to be with anyone else rather than you! I know I avoided you a bit for this week but you're a great person!" Clary hugged Levi but Levi was too confused to hug back.
"But..." Clary put her finger on Levis lips to shush her." You don't have to say anything! We're here for a new start. Just relax and have fun! Watch me!" Clary jumped on the bar, asked a micro at Magnus and he whispered something in the DJ's ear. Suddenly the music stopped.
"Hey people! I'm Clary and this awesome party here is hosted by my amazing friend, Magnus over there! Big applause for him guys!" Everyone cheered and applauded.
"I'd like to give a toast on an amazing night where we forget real life for a moment. Just do what I do and have a few to many shots, then you'll know what I mean! So to celebrate this, a little song that suits this evening please! Go DJ!" The tune of Blow by Kesha began to play.
While singing she walked over the bar swinging her hips. Jace couldn't resist to watch. Clary was like a drug for him. Once he had it, he wasn't able to pull away. That's why he was so distant this whole week, that was the reason he didn't want to break up with his girlfriend. Because he knew that once he let go of that girl he wouldn't be able to resist Clary no longer. Then he would let her break his walls again and if she had to leave then again once more, he would break. Last time he had saved himself by training every day to distract himself and then Levi had come to distract him. But now? He would break down, lose it. And that was why, he refused to let his heart be broken again.
"Jace? You should really pull Clary of the bar. I know it's amusing to watch but I'm afraid that if this song is finished, she'll start doing some striptease." Jace smirked and raised his eyebrow at her.
"What makes you think that she'll do that? And why do you think that I want to help her?" Now it was Levi's time to raise her eyebrow. She also crossed her arms.
"Fool another, but don't fool me. I know you, Jace. You care about that little red head on the bar over there. You care a lot. I can see it in your eyes! And if you would've counted how many shots she had this night and heard the way she talked a few moments ago you would think it too. She's rambling complete nonsense!" With that Levi left and Jace knew she was right. He cared, a lot.
So there he was. Picking Clary of the bar at the end of the song. "Hey cutie! Let me go! I was just having fuuuuuun!" Jace smirked at her, grabbed her waist and put her with two feet on the ground. He kept his hands on her waist though, while looking into her emerald eyes. She stared with admiration at his eyes.
"You have such a beautiful eyes! did anybody told you that before? They fit your hair soooooo good!" Jace smirked as Clary touched his hair and giggled. "You kind of remind me of my Angel. Though he isn't mine anymore." Clary sighed sadly.
"Really? How come?" Jace asked as he carefully led Clary to one of the many locked bedrooms of Magnus apartment. Magnus didn't like the idea of someone going at it in his house so he always locked his doors.
"Yeah he has a girlfriend now. I'm happy for him though! Maybe it was a sign to move on! That's what I'm doing right? Am I doing it good?" Jace nodded sadly while opening the room with a spare key he had once got from Alec.
"You're doing it the best!" Clary nodded excitedly.
"I know, right! Besides, I think you're a lot cuter then him! Carry me?" Clary pouted. Jace shook his head with laughter and lifted her up. Their faces were millimetres away from each other. Jace put Clary carefully down on the bed and was about to turn around when Clary pulled his arm with such a force that he landed on top of her and at some point they had started kissing.
Jace couldn't remember how or when, hell he could even barely remember his own name. The only thing he knew was how much he missed her touch. The feeling of her skin against his. He hadn't realized before how much he craved for her touch. Their tongues fighting for dominance. Her hand grabbing his hair, touching his cheek. Soon his T-shirt was off and so was hers. Clary moved to his jeans when he stopped her. Jace was still sober enough to realise that she would regret this in the morning or she wouldn't even remember it at all. And he didn't want that.
"Clary. You have to sleep." Clary groaned and was about to pull jace's face toward hers to continue what they had started but Jace grabbed her hand and got off her.
"Hey! Come back! I don't want to sleep." Clary pouted. Jace kissed her forehead.
"Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to..." Clary gave a tired smile.
"You sound like a wise old woman." Jace smirked and shrugged.
"Maybe I am. Well except for the woman part of course. The last time I checked, I was completely a man." Clary laughed. The rush from kissing Jace was ebbing away so the only thing she still felt were these little butterflies in her stomach and exhaustion.
"Sure you are. Wait cutie..." Jace turned around again. "Don't leave." She said before drifting into sleep.
"I never will. "And he knew he wouldn't but what about her? Would she leave him again?
