Jace frowned because he really, really wanted to see Clary, but he would have to wait a little longer.

He went to his locker, put his books away, and went outside to the parking lot. By the time he got to the parking lot, he noticed that the whole lot was nearly empty. He looked down at his watch to see that it was nearly 2:30 in the afternoon.

"Clary should be out soon," he whispered to himself. He waited under the shade of a large tree until he heard footsteps approach him. He looked up to see Clary walking towards him with a beaming smile on her face.

He popped up, ran over to her and embraced her in a hug. Clary returned the embrace. When they pulled apart, Clary stood on her toes and spook softly in his ear, "Let's go over to your place and hang out. Just the two of us."

When Clary pulled back, Jace shook his head yes, they loaded up in Clary's car and drove to his brother's house. When they reached his brother's house, they hoped out of the car, Clary first Jace second. Clary walked over to Jace's side and grabbed his hand while they walked inside.

When they walked inside, Jace pulled Clary into a tight embrace and gave her a little kiss on the lips. When he pulled back, Clary said, "Oh no you don't." She pulled him back down to her lips and kissed him the way she wanted to be kissed.

After that, they pulled away from each other. Jace looked into Clary's bright, emerald green eyes and thought to himself, 'I'm the luckiest person in the world. I can't believe the girl I've had a crush on since the first day I met her is officially my girlfriend.'

Jace took Clary's hand again and lead her into the living room. He pushed her onto the couch and asked, "What do you want to do? Sit her and watch a movie or go out and do something?"

She contemplated this question for a while until she finally said, "I want to lay here on this couch with you wrapped up in each other's embrace and watch a movie."

Jace smiled at this idea, walked over to the shelf of movies picked one, put it in and joined his favorite girl on the couch. They laid there, enveloped in each other, then Clary asked, "When is your brother coming home?"

"He won't be home. I told him I wanted the house to myself and he didn't object. So we have the whole place to ourselves, my love," he told her placing a feather light kiss on her lips. She giggled a little bit, and went right back to watching the movie.

She was so engulfed in the movie that she didn't realize that Jace was staring down at her. She looked up at him, smiled and said, "Do you want something?" He shook his head no and looked ahead at the screen. About half way through the movie, Clary had fallen asleep on Jace's lap and was snoring softly. Jace moved her hair away from in front of her face and peered down at her.

"I need to get up, but I really don't want to bother her," he whispered to himself as he stared down at her. Eventually, the urge became too strong. He carefully moved Clary off his lap, laid her on the couch and walked into the kitchen. He got a glass of water and went back into the living room. When he went back into the living room, Clary wasn't there. 'Oh my goodness, where did she go?' he thought to himself worried out of his mind.

He started looking around until he heard a noise behind him. He tried to turn around to see who it was, but the person attacked him from behind him. He inhaled, loudly, and then he realized who it was. He smelled her scent. "Clary, why are you attacking me again?" he asked the person. He reached up to his neck, grabbed her arms and spun her around so she was looking at him. She smiled at him and said, "It's because I love you. I do it to my parents too."

Jace smiled at her and sat them both back on the couch. When he settled on the couch, Clary climbed off his lap and walked over to the door. She stared out the window at the top of the door for a few minutes and then she finally said, "I'm going to go for a run. Would you like to come with me?" she asked Jace as she headed outside to her car to grab her running clothes, earbuds, and the sleeve for her phone that she attached to her arm.

She got back into the house before he even had a chance to answer her. When she came back inside, he nodded and went upstairs to change into running clothes. Clary let out a small giggle as she watched Jace bounce up the stairs and to his room. "Well, I guess I should get ready," she whispered to herself as she went into the extra bathroom to change and take off her makeup.

When she was done, she walked out of the bathroom and waited in the living room. When she heard footsteps on the stairs, she looked up to see Jace. He was wearing a skin tight black tank top and black running shorts. When he saw her staring at him, he smiled and said, "What are you looking at?" She turned her face away and realized that heat was creeping up to her cheeks. 'Ugh, I can't believe I'm blushing,' she thought to herself. She turned back to look at him when he had fully descended the stairs.

When they were both standing there, she walked over to him and whispered in his ear, "Are you ready to go?" She pulled back and waited for his answer. He nodded and walked outside.
