A FEW DAYS LATER
Clary POV
It has been a few days since mine and Jace's rendezvous in the janitor's closet at school and we've moved onto the grand level of smiling and saying hi in the corridor when we see each other, big development am I right. Although to be fair to him, he has started distancing himself from his crazy fangirls much to their disappointment and confusion.
I got home after another long boring day at school full of stupid teachers and hormonal teenagers; I'd had to stay behind late to catch up with some coursework that I was behind on so it was pretty late. I made myself some pesto pasta THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD BY THE WAY AND NO ONE WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE and went upstairs and got changed into my pyjamas. This week they were some shorts with the aliens from Toy Story on and an oversized Echosmith band t-shirt I got from one of their concerts Si took me to last year, I tied my unruly hair up in a messy bun and I was set to binge watch The Big Bang Theory for the fifth time this week. Don't judge.
I was a third of the way through the second series when a tap at my window scared the living daylights out of me, causing me to fall off my bed, drop my laptop thankfully it stayed on my bed and throw my empty bowl of pasta across the room.
I looked up from my place on the floor to see none other than the golden wall of a person that has been plaguing my mind for the past few days laughing his ass off on the fire escape at my window. Asshole.
I opened the window "Glad you find causing me severe terror so funny"
"If you'd seen the look on your face you would have found it hilarious too ginge"
He received a glare for that comment "So is there a reason you are at my window at 11:00?"
"Well Clary dear I thought we could get to know each other properly, if you remember you did agree to getting to know the real me"
"At 11:00 Jace"
"Yes at 11:00. I feel it's the perfect time"
"You're insane. But I guess I did agree in advance. Alright lemme get changed"
"No need you'll be fine like that"
"Where in New York at 11:00 at night am I going to be okay like this Jace" I said gesturing to my outfit
"You'll see just trust me"
"Fine" and with that we climbed down the fire escape and hopped into his awaiting car
It was a good 20 minutes before we reached Jace's secret destination. "And here we are welcome to Brocelind Forest the most unknown place in New York and our destination for tonight"
"How is it I have lived here all my life and never known about this place and yet you do"
"I have my sources"
"It seems you do. So what are we doing here"
"Well I thought we could go for a walk play a few games to get to know each other better, plus there's a little surprise that I would like to show you"
"Okaaaaay then let's go" and so we set off into the woods
This forest was amazing. Even in the dark you could see the elegance of the area, the trees a deep green yet not so dark that they seemed ominous Night owls were hooting coming alive as the darkness fell. And yet there was almost a silence to the place, one that happens when a place is pure, completely untouched by human kind. Beautiful.
"So what game did you have in mind to find out about each other?"
"I was thinking 20 questions?"
"Okay you first"
"Alright what are 3 things that annoy you easily?"
"Hmmm let's see cocky assholes" giving him a pointed look "physics homework and sexist teachers well sexists in general really what about you?"
"Badly played or sung music, people who think they're better than others and people messing up my room"
"Noted, most embarrassing moment?"
"When I was 11 I decided I wanted a bath in spaghetti don't ask me why I just did, anyway Iz took a picture of me in that bath of spaghetti but she put a rubber duck on my head and photographed me at pure terror mode covered in spaghetti and tomato sauce"
"Omg that is amazing" I said laughing
"Yes and the picture still haunts me today. What is your most embarrassing moment?"
"Well my aunt took me to her hair salon when I was 13 and I got my head stuck in one of their heated blow dryer helmet thingys and long story short I ended up with a pink afro for a semester"
"I can just imagine it now"
"Don't it was not a good look" I said chuckling
"Moving on from that brilliant image what's your plans for the future?"
"Go to art school, get my own gallery and make a living off my art like my mum what about you"
"I don't know yet, I love music but I'm not sure whether I want to keep that as a hobby or have it as a career, I guess my other option would be sports but I don't know if I want to do that either. So I don't know yet but I do know I want a family and for us all to be happy and safe"
"Well that's a nice wish"
"Yeah I guess it is"
"So next question do you have any tattoos?
"Nope none my parents would kill me what about you"
"Yep two, I have a pair of angel wings at the back of the base of my neck and I have this angelic rune on the side of my ankle"
"Oh cool what do they mean?"
"Well the angle wings are to remind me of my dad, he died when I was little and they symbolise him and how I know he is always looking out for me. The angelic rune is for angelic power, it's a tattoo pretty much everyone in my family has. I am also planning on getting Saturn on my wrist with stars just because."
"Wow interesting. I did have you pegged as a girl with tattoos to be honest"
"Ha thanks I think"
"Okay next question. Story of your first kiss?"
"Ahhh now that's an embarrassing one. Me, Si and Maia had gone out for my 16th birthday and we were slightly tipsy let's just say, and we went to this club I'm still not sure to this day how we got in but we did. So I was at the bar getting us all drinks and I'd like to stress I was not in complete control of what I was doing, so yeah I was talking to the bar tender as he was preparing my drinks and suddenly I just leaned over and kissed him like full on tongues and everything. Then I pulled away said that was for making our drinks and walked away. I'm still not really sure why I did it but there you go."
"Wow forward much Fray."
"Tell me about it. So what about you?"
"Mine was pretty boring to be honest. I kissed a girl from one of my old schools when I was like 14 when we were in the back of a cinema"
"Saucy lightwood"
"Tell me about it" he said mimicking my earlier comment
"Okay so if you could have a one night stand with any celebrity who would it be?"
"Hmm I'd have to go with either Jenifer Lawrence or Scarlett Johansson what about you?"
"Let's see, well there is Tom Hiddleston but he would be too much of a gentleman to have a one night stand, if he was alive Heath Ledger but he isn't which is a travesty, so I'd have to go with either Alex Pettyfer or Austin Butler"
"Quite a range there short stack"
"Again with the short jokes. But I know I like to keep my options open" I said with a smirk
"Your reaction to them is too great to stop soz, so what's one thing that you've lied about?"
"That I'm okay when people have asked what about you?"
"That my feelings aren't hurt when they were"
"Well aren't we the emotional hiders"
"Seems so"
"Sorry I've got to ask but is there a place that we are going or are to just leading me into the woods so you can murder me without anyone knowing or something?"
"You do realise I could be doing both those things, I'm not but I could. Anyway patience small one you will find out where we are going in due time"
"Fiiiiiiiiine but for future reference I don't like waiting or walking"
"Noted"
"So what's your biggest fear"
"Ducks. Those blood sucking little beasts should be wiped off the face of the earth"
"I still can't get over your fear of ducks I have to say" whilst I start laughing
"When they come and attack you Fray and you realise their true evil you will no longer be laughing at me"
"Okay I'll wait for the duck uprising"
"You'll see. So what's yours"
"Failing in my mum's eyes. She's done so much for me and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I failed her"
"Deep"
"I know right"
"And on that note we have reached our destination" Jace said opening his arms out wide as the trees cleared to reveal the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. The water was completely still, not a wave in sight and it looked absolutely crystal clear. I was speechless.
"So what do you think, worth the wait?"
"Absolutely. It's beautiful" I said in complete awe
Jace started taking off his shirt then and I spun around to him "What are you doing" I said aghast
"Well I'm not swimming in my clothes come on Fray"
"You so planned this Lightwood"
"Yes I did"
"Fine turn around"
"Is there really a need for this Ginge"
"Yes there is now turn around"
"Fiiiiiiine" and with that I stripped down to my underwear which I was so thankful I hadn't taken off by the time Jace came to my room
Suddenly I was lifted off my feet ad greeted with a golden toned back and Jace's boxer clad butt not gonna lie it wasn't a horrible sight but he didn't need to know that was my thoughts
"Jace PUT ME DOWN"
"Whatever you say short stuff" and he threw me into the lake. HE THREW ME INTO THE LAKE THE LITTLE PRICK
I surfaces spraying water all around me Jace surfaced next to me and I immediately splashed him with a load of water hitting he directly in his smug face. Score
This only led to a splashing war between us that consisted of kicking water at each other, splashing water at each other, holding each other underwater.
Somehow I ended up in Jace's arms looking up at him through watery eyelashes. He looked down at me water droplets rolling off his immensely long eyelashes and down his razor sharp cheekbones.
"You're so beautiful clary you know" he said stroking my cheek
This only caused me to blush and duck my head. His calloused hand reached up and tilted my face back up to his.
"You're blush is adorable to" a husky catch lacing his voice now
"My blush is not adorable Jace and I am far from beautiful. I know I look good at times trust me but I am far far from beautiful" my voice shaking at the closeness of our proximity
"Oh but Clary you are, you're so beautiful and how you don't notice it I can't fathom."
I had no words to reply to him all I could do was stare up at his golden orbs he calls eyes, all his walls were down and it was like I was looking straight into his soul, and he was letting me see.
I couldn't take it any longer; I leaned up and smashed my lips against his, his arms drawing me even closer. His lips were soft as they moved feverishly against mine; my legs wrapped around his thin waist, my chest flush against his toned one, his strong arms encasing my body his hands roaming my sides, my hands laced around his neck.
His tongue flicked out against my lips begging for entrance which I gladly gave him access to. The kiss seemed to last for an eternity, pure bliss, our bodies moulding against each other perfectly. We pulled away for air; gasping I buried my head in his chest. He rested his head on mine his chest rising rapidly, "Wow Clary"
"I know" We both started giggling the vibrations running through us.
"We should probably get going if you want to get home before sun rise"
"Haha alright come on"
We swam back to the shore, climbing out of the water. Droplets of water fell off each of us, they made Jace look like the Greek god Poseidon rising from the depths of his kingdom, me I just looked like a teenaged girl in her underwear that had had water chucked onto her but her who cares I get to make out with a Greek god. Well a lookalike but still.
Jace gave me his top so that I wouldn't have to get my clothes soaked such a gentleman his top came down to my knees however it was white so it went see through much to Jace's amusement.
The drive home was nice, we had the radio on, Catfish and the Bottleman playing at full blast, me singing along with Jace smiling next to me singing occasionally to. It was nice. I was happy. I think he was too.
Jace helped me up the fire escape up to my room giving me a chaste kiss goodnight before disappearing back down to his car. That boy is as agile as a fucking cat.
I lifted up my window and hopped inside trying not to make any noise. Shutting the window I turned back around to be met with a Jonathan standing next to my bed.
"I think we need to talk Clary" he said in a deadly calm voice
Well shit
