Sorry there are probably tons of spelling and grammar mistakes, but a.) Im too lazy to check it, haha sorry not sorry, and b.) I wanted to post it asap.
I really should have put this in the AN yesterday but I will today. Hehe...
Disclaimer: I do not own The Mortal Instruments or any of the characters, only the plot. All rights go to the amazing Cassandra Clare. (Though who wouldn't want to own Jace!?🔥)
I look to my left and see a boy with dark hair and eyes.
"May I buy the beautiful lady a drink?" He asks seductively. And I giggle, I giggle I should stop hanging out with Izzy, or drinking. Probably the latter.
"Sure." I tell him and he waves at the bartender.
"2 more of whatever the lady's got." The bartender nods and begins to prepare our drinks.
"What's your name pretty lady?" He asks me, with a glint in his eyes.
"I am Clarissa Adele Fray." I slur "but you call me Clary."
"Well Clary, I am Sebastian, and I am going to take you on a date sometime." I giggle, again, what's with the giggling?
"Ok, dark prince" I say and the bartender slides us our drinks.
Sebastian gets off his seat and holds out his hand, "May I have this dance? He asks me with a playful glint in his eyes.
"Of course," I say and put my hand in his, "but be warned, I'm no good, and will probably smash your toes."
He chuckles and I look at him seriously "I'm serious. I'm horrible at dancing sober, I can't imagine this."
"Don't worry Clary, I'll teach you how to dance." He assures me and surprisingly, I don't do to bad. I look over to the side and see my friends watching me and I see Jaces eyes flash with, Jealously? No. Jace Herondale does not get jealous. I'm imagining it. Aren't I?
Jace POV
I watch her dance with Sebastard and feel jealousy ripple through me. No. It can't be jealousy, I don't get jealous, I can get a girl without batting an eye, I do not get feelings for girls. I can get any girl and have no need to get jealous. Or do I?
Izzy POV
I watch as Simon sits and sips his drink at the table. I wish he had the balls to get up and ask me to dance, this creep I'm dancing with is making me uncomfortable. I will him to get up and butt in and he stands, yes! He finally grew a pair!
He walks toward me and says " her Izzy I'm going to get another Drink, do you want anything?" I look at him angrily and be looks scared and confused dance with me! I try to tell him with my eyes, but he just stares at me like a doofus. I sigh and his hand and start dancing till he gets it and dances with me.
"What kind of boyfriend lets his girlfriend dance with a creep like that?" I ask him "Wait. What kind of boyfriend lets his girlfriend dance with any other guy?" I ask, exasperated.
"Well, he looks like he would've beat me up if I didn't listen to him," he scoffs "not that he could've beat me up I just didn't want to hurt him. Yea. That's what happened." I snort.
"Yea Simon. Sure." I look over to and see Jace looking lonely staring at the dance floor so I decide to go keep him company.
I grab Simons wrist and pull him over to Jace and we start talking about the odds that Simon has to beat up the creep I was dancing with. We agree that the odds are NOT in his favor. We are talking about going out to eat tomorrow when suddenly Jace stiffens.
"What's wrong?" I ask him, concerned and alert, because Jace doesn't get scared or nervous often. I follow his gaze and see clary dancing with a cute dark haired boy and I laugh.
"Jacey-poo has a crush on our dear Clary!" I tell Simon and he scoffs.
"The great Jace Herondale. Feelings? No! It can't be!" He says sarcastically and Jace glares at us.
"Shut up." He tells us and we laugh even harder.
Jace walks away, and up to the bar and grabs someone's abandoned drink and drinks it. Then he grabs the one next to it and drinks it. I roll my eyes. He can't even handle a little teasing.
Jace POV
I drink the drinks sitting on the counter because it looks like no one else is going to drink them so I might as well. I wish it was something stronger, alcohol doesn't effect me like it does other people. I sit there and sulk when I feel a tap on my shoulder and see dazed but furious green eyes glaring at me.
"I think you owe me a couple drinks." She says, looking at me accusingly and I roll my eyes and stand up. She pokes a finger against my chest and says "I want my drinks." I look down at her finger against my chest and back at her face with an eyebrow raised.
"I think you've had enough to drink sweetheart. We're going home." I pick her up bridal style and she huffs.
"Fine. But you still owe me."
I walk up the stairs with Clary asleep in my arms. I walk into the guest room next to mine and lay clary on the bed then I go into my room and collapse on my bed, too tired to change.
*line break*
"Jace?" A panicked voice says.
"Jace?"
"Jace wake up?"
I bolt upright and almost knock heads with Clary.
"Why are you in my room?" I ask her angrily and she looks at me curiously.
"You were screaming in your sleep and I wanted to make sure you were ok." She says innocently. My anger immediately dissipates and I remind myself To love is to destroy.
"Oh." Is all that I say. "Well I'm fine and it's not your problem so get out." I tell her and I watch as hurt flashed across her beautiful face. She looks down and rushes out of my room. I feel a twinge of guilt but I choose to ignore it and go to sleep.
Clary POV
I feel a pounding in my head and groan. I roll over and open my eyes and feel a pain shoot through my head.
"Hangovers a bitch, huh?" Someone says and I jump and look towards the voice and see Jace smirking, and holding what I'm assuming is Advil and a glass of water. I gratefully take it and thank him. I lay back down to go to sleep and feel the bed lurch as Jace sits down. I look at him quizzically.
"I'm sorry that I was rude last night." He says to me. I look into his eyes, this has to be a joke, right? I see my reflection in his eyes as he searches my face for any sign revealing whether or not I would apologize. He looks genuinely sorry and I am quick to forgive him.
He gets up and says "Great, now, don't ever speak of this again, ok sweatheart?" Now there is the arrogant sarcastic Jace we all know, I was beginning to get kind of creeped out with him being nice and all.
I grab my phone and see a text from an unknown number.
Hey pretty lady ;) it's Sebastian. I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date tonight with yours truly.
Hey Sebastian! I'd be happy to go on a date with you ;)
Alright Clary, I'll pick you up at 7.
See you then, Sebastian.
I smile, my first date! I lock my phone and set it on my dresser. I may or may not have done a little happy dance. I get dressed in jeans and an old band Tshirt and put my hair in a messy bun. I can't stop smiling, I haven't been this happy in a long time. I walk into the kitchen and see Jace sitting at the table with a cup of coffe and Alec making breakfast. Jace gives me a cup of coffee.
"I didn't know how you take your coffee so you can put sugar and whatever in it if you want." He says and I grin and lick my lips.
"Black," I say "like my soul." Jace chuckles.
"You got that right" he mumbles and I glare at him and take a drink of my coffee.
He chuckles, "You know, it's hard to look scary when your tiny and drinking coffee."
I open my mouth to retort when Izzy decides to walk in. "Please say our making bacon!" She whines to Alec and he nods at her with an amused expression. She closes her eyes and says "oh thank god" under her breath.
I laugh at how relieved she looks to have her precious bacon.
*line break*
"Izzy!" I yell "fashion emergency!" I know I am probably going to regret this so much but I need help I know NOTHING. About fashion. Nothing. 5 seconds later Izzy rushes in with tons of dresses and boxes full of makeup. Wow that girl is fast, I hate to say but, I'm impressed. 20 minutes later I'm in a green just above knee length dress with sleeves almost down to my elbows. There is a spot on the shoulder that is cut out that gives it a cool effect. It makes my eyes an even lighter shade of green and makes my hair look brighter red. Izzy kept the makeup light- for once. I had a light coat of mascara and brown eyeliner and pale pink lipstick. My hair went down to my waist in controlled, yet wild curls.
"I'm ready."
*line break*
"Tell me everything, don't leave out a single detail." Izzy tells me and I roll my eyes playfully.
"If you insist." I tell her.
**flashback
Sebastian pulls up and gets out as I'm walking up to his car and I look at him with both eyebrows raised. Yes both, I would've raised one eyebrow, but I can't. I don't understand how you raise just one! Other people-like Jace, can raise one but it's like mine are connected, where one goes the other follows.
He opens the door for me and I laugh, he is just being a gentleman. He looks over my outfit with an intense gaze-that makes me feel as if he is undressing me with his eyes. I fidget under his gaze and he snaps out of his "trance" and ushers me into the car. He walks back to the other side of the car and gets in.
Sebastian is dressed in dark jeans and a nice black button down shirt. He starts the car and starts to drive to who knows where.
"So, what are we doing tonight?" I ask him, curious. He looks over at me with a playful look in his eyes.
"You'll figure that out when we get there, darling." He says looking amused as I huff.
"I hate surprises." I tell him and he chuckles.
Trust me, you'll love this one." He assures me and I look out the window. The sun is starting to set and gives everything a golden glow. It's a beautiful night, perfect for a date.
When we arrive I see we are at a fancy restaurant and I am glad that I let Izzy dress me, surprising right? We go in and there is a waiter that leads us to our seats. The place has black chairs and tables with creamy white tablecloths. It looks beautiful, there are lights strung along what seems like ever available surface and I wish I had my sketchbook. We sit down and the waiter hands us each a glass of wine, and we set them on the table. Sebastian picks up the menu and o follow suit. There are so many options, I wonder if they have pancakes, or waffles.
"This is my favorite restaurant. Except when I don't get a reservation, the service is just awful." Sebastian tells me and I nod.
"I don't think I've ever been here. I don't go out to eat much." I reply and he looks surprised.
"You have to try the steak, it is amazing." He tells me, " I will order for you, since you've never been here." He states. I'm not sure that's how it works, but whatever.
The waiter comes back and asks for our orders. Sebastian orders steak and a baked potato for each of us, the waiter leaves and Sebastian looks at me.
"So," he starts, "Tell me about yourself. Family? Hobbies? Interests?" He asks me and I smile shyly.
"Well, I love to draw, paint, anything artistic. I guess I like to read and listen to music too... I have my Mom and my
Father figure Luke, and my awesome brother Jon. And I guess that's it, what about you?" I tell him.
"I like martial arts and karate. My parents died so I live with my aunt and cousins. Do you know Aline Penhallow?" I nod, she was in my class at school. "She's one of my cousins. And- Oh, here comes our meal."
*line break*
"I had fun Sebastian." I tell him, smiling.
"Me too, we should do this again sometimes." I nod, agreeing.
"Goodnight Clary." He whispers
"Goodnight Sebastian." I whisper back, not wanting to break the moment.
"Can I kiss you?" Sebastian whispers leaning forward slightly as I nod.
There are centimeters between our lips and I can feel his breath fanning across my face. He closes the distance between us and presses his lips to mine. The kiss is soft and sweet, just like how I always imaginedmy first kiss. As Sebastian leaves, no one notices the golden eyes watching in the darkness.
Hey guys, sorry about the Sebastian thing, I don't like him but he does incorporate into the story. The next chapter will probably be up in the next 1-2 days, because I have no life. Haha
