Mr. Not So Tough Guy

Hey, guys. Sorry it took so long to update this. I been lazy lately and just couldn't follow the urge to pick up the computer and type.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Mortal Instruments. Just the plot.

CLARY POV:

When I wake up I'm suprised that my body is completely unscathed from the night I spent at Jace's house, but then again I remember that since I'm sleeping in a bathroom it doesn't really count.

Around 2 in the morning, I think, I woke up to Isabelle trying to put make up on my face. After that I was in full boycott mode about asking permission before poking and proding at someone's face. Apparently Isabelle isn't much of a listener and just kept trying to do my make up and that resulted into me grabbing a blanket and a pillow and camping out in her bathroom with the door locked, of course.

When I grab my phone and check the time and see it's 10 AM, I decide that Isabelle should be out of her room and eating breakfest or doing her make up and such.

I slowly open the bathroom door and poke my head around the corner to see if the coast is clear. Once I'm atleast 90% sure I'm the only one there I pull the blankets and pillows out of the tub and walk out of the bathroom with the blankets dragged out behind me.

"You're safe, you know."

I jump in suprise and bust out my best Kung Fu Panda moves and turn around to the person speaking.

"No need to be such a scare-dee cat, Little Red." I turn to see Jace laying on Isabelle's bed with his arms folded behind his head and a your-not-going-anywhere smirk on his face.

"'Scare-dee cat'? Are you sure your 17 and not 7?" I ask, feeling my eyebrows pull in.

"Aw, your just mad you had to sleep in a bathtub." Jace says with a mocking tone while he stands up and crosses his arms.

"No, I'm not. I'm mad that you've decided to bug me at 10 am." I cross my arms and mimmick his movements.

"Nope, I'm pretty sure your secretly in love with me and you are trying to hide it by pretending you hate me. Very sneaky of you, but not sneaky enough. It's okay. Embrace it."

"Your an idiot." I do my best hmp and close my eyes and stick my nose in the air.

"Girls only call boys they love idiots."

"You will die a very painful death."

"You aren't the only girl that said that to me and she was secretly in love with me, too."

When I open my eyes, Jace is a lot closer than I remember.

I feel my eyes narrow. "What are you doing?"

Next thing I know Jace is brushing loose strands of hair out of my face.

"Hey!" I try pushing him away, but he starts hugging me and leans into my ear and whispers, "Admit it. You love me."

My eyes widen and I push him away. "Jerk!" All my instincts point to get the hell out of there or remove the enemy, so I walk quickly to Jace and place my hands on his chest and push him backwards until he's standing, suprised just outside of Isabelle's door.

His eyes widen and he says, "Clary, I was just kidd-" He never got to finish his sentence considering I slammed the door in his face. I quickly walk back to Isabelle's bathroom when I hear

"That was my nose!"

Hmp. Serves him right.

Sorry for such a short chapter. I just felt bad about not posting for a while
