Chapter 11 - I Love You

(Clary's Pov)

Jace and I are laying down in his bed watching a movie. I couldn't stop thinking about it before the fight happened. I told him I loved him; I just can't believe I told him that. I look up at him watching his face. I see him look at me and I quickly put my head down. I move my head onto his shoulder, cuddling into him. What if he doesn't love me back, what if I just ruined this. The movie ended and Jace got up to take the DVD out.

"Clary-Clary!" He said while waving his hand in front of my face. I finally snap out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, what's up?" I ask looking up at him. He looks at me with a worried look.

"What's wrong," he said, moving his arm. I start crying, laying my head down on him.

"I-I just m-missed you. I-I was so scared I lost you. D-Do you l-love me? " I say sobbing my eyes out. He faces got so sad after I said that.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm here. I'm never leaving you okay. Baby I love you too. " He says bringing me into a hug. I wrap my arms around his waist, holding him tight. I cry into his shoulder.

"I was so worried they killed you." I speak. I feel him rubbing my back saying it's okay. I pull away and grab him from his shirt, pushing my lips on his. He's a bit startled because it takes a bit for him to start kissing back. I wrap my hands around his neck, pulling him closer. He puts one of his hands on my cheek and puts his other hand on my waist. I pull away to take a breath and he kisses my cheek.

"I love you," he says.

"I love you too," I say, kissing his cheek. As I lay on his chest the soothing sound of his heartbeat makes me think. I start thinking about what will happen in the future. I tighten my hold on him, wrapping my legs in between his. I feel my eyes getting heavy as I fall asleep to Jace's sweet smell.

The next morning, I wake up to see that Jace isn't there. I hear the shower turn off and Jace comes out wearing just a towel at the bottom of his waist. I just sit there looking at his toned abs, I feel myself start blushing.

Jace then walks up to me and says "Like what you see?" while smirking. Right before I can say anything his towel falls. I just sit there shocked; I quickly cover my eyes while blushing.

"I'm so sorry," I just continued to say. He grabs his towel and puts it back around his waist.

"I-I'm going to go," I say with my head down leaving the room. I just hear him cracking up laughing as I run out of the room

I ran to my room, freaking out about what just happened. I can't believe that happened. I'm so embarrassed. I start pacing around my room, I try to calm down but nothing is working. I ran out of my room and went to Izzy's room. I run into Izzy's room to see her making out with a Seelie, I'm pretty sure his name is Meliorn. I clear my throat, making a noise, they both turn around to look at me. I tell them I need to talk to Izzy alone, I wait for Meliorn to leave, then I close the door and lock it.

"What's up?"She says while going up to her vanity, applying more lipstick. I make my way to her bed and sit down, my hands shaking.

"There was this incident with Jace." I say while playing back in head. She comes over and sits down next to me. "Jace came out of the bathroom in a towel, and I-it fell down. I-I saw his thing." I say while blushing. She just starts laughing.

"Have you guys not had sex yet?" She asks, confused. I start blushing and nod my head no.

She starts laughing and says "I thought you guys had already done it," I just nod no.

"What did it look like, was it big," She asks.

"IZZY! I'm not answering that. " I say, blushing.

"Come on," she said and started begging.

"It's your brother, why do you want to know what it looks like?" She just shrugged. I just blush even more.

"Okay, fine, it looked really big. The reason why I freaked was because I was worried that if we did have sex and it didn't fit." I can't stop blushing after that. Before she could answer I heard a familiar deep voice behind me.

"Wow, I didn't know you were worried about sleeping with me," I turned around to see Jace smirking.

"H-How l-long w-were y-you t-there?" I ask, barely being able to speak.

"Oh, I heard everything," he said, smirking while holding back a laugh. I get so embarrassed I put my head down and look away from him. I see Izzy leave and Jace comes over to me and sits down. I turn my head around not looking at him. "Clary look at me," he says putting his hand under my chin moving my head to look at him. As soon as I turn my head, he gives me a sweet and short kiss. I kiss back and pull away to take a breath. "Do not worry about that, everything will be fine," he says. I just blush and kiss him again. The kiss was sweet and long, but showed my love for him. He pulls away from the kiss and says "You're adorable when you're blushing," he says laughing a bit. A few hours have passed. It is now about 5:00pm and Jace is on his bed reading a book.

I go to my room and change into some of my training clothes, put my hair in a high ponytail with some strands out on the side. I grab my sword and run downstairs to the training room. I put my sword on the floor for now and I go up to the punching bag and start punching it. I then hear footsteps and I turn to see Jace.

"Do you want to spar?" I ask him to pick my seraph blade. He just nods and grabs his seraph blade. He makes his way to the middle of the room waiting for me to come. I make my way to Jace and we get into position. I run towards him, attacking him with my seraph blade and he blocks it with his. I take my leg and kick him in the stomach, but too hard, just enough to push him back. He looked back at me, shocked I just smirked at him. Making him run towards me. I flip over to the side getting out of his path. I hold my seraph blade up blocking my body.

"Wanna go hand to hand?" He asks. I just nod my head throwing my seraph blade to the side. We start running at each other and I try to hit Jace, but he blocks me and throws me on the ground getting on top of me. I tried to push him off of me, but he wouldn't budge. He starts laughing at my attempt to get him off of me. I then smirked while pulling his head down and bringing him to my lips, but before they could touch, I flipped us over so I'm on top. I grab my seraph blade and put it against his neck. "Well done Morgenstern but not as good as me," he says, grabbing my hips and flipping me on the floor. Next thing I know he crashes his lips into mine. After a little bit, we pull away and I push him off of me.

"I'm going to go shower," I say, getting up off the floor, grabbing my seraph blade, and making my way upstairs. I grab some clothes from my room and I go to the bathroom. I turn on the shower waiting for it to heat up. I take my hair out of the ponytail. The rest of the night went by fast. Jace and I watched a few movies and then we talked a bit. After a few hours, we finally fell asleep.
