Jem's violin music slowly creeped into my room filling it with the sweet beautiful sound. I rolled over in my bed. I was thinking it must be nearly 11:00 and I was still wide awake. Jem's music slowly came to a stop and the whole Institute went quiet. I should of been asleep by now but Will's words kept playing over and over in my head. I kept imagining myself with little children, sitting around me while I read to them, them staring at me with adoring and living eyes, entranced by the sound of my voice. Just like my mother had when Nate and I were little. But that all quickly disappeared and I saw myself alone for centuries with no friend but my books. I groaned and lit my gas lamp again. The warm yellow glow lit up the room. I picked up a book from my bed side table and got lost in the words. Until I decided I no longer was interested when the heroin fell in love with the charming prince, got married and had children. It felt as if the characters were mocking me. I picked up another one of my novels and opened to a page in the middle. 'I got lost in his deep blue eyes.' was the first sentence I read. I immediately thought of Will. Will, even though he had caused me so much pain, confusion and anger, I still cared for him. I still thought of his angelic features, the way his black hair felt in my hands, what it felt like to have his lips press soft gentle kisses on my mouth, neck cheek, the way his hands caressed my back. I shook the thought from my head. I decided I would no longer think of Will tonight. After another half hour of tossing I heard the floorboards creaking as someone walked towards my door. I straightened up and the door opened. I sighed as I saw Will, his usual amused but sexy expression planted in his face. "What do you want Will? You're the last person I want to see right now" I snap at him.
"It is wonderful to see you too Tessa." He smiles and invites himself in. He sits on the chair next to my bed and stares at me. "You look atrocious" he says.
"I'm sorry Will that I didn't dress up for your visit" I frown and smooth downy hair a bit.
"Aren't you going to ask me what I'm here for?" He asks
"I already did, you didn't answer me."
He rolls his eyes "Someone is in a mood tonight"
"Can you get to what you were going to tell me?" I ask impatiently.
"I went to see Magnus Bane before." he says .
"And-" I prompt
"Well I asked him about the warlock pregnancy thing, and he said that there has been very few cases of Warlocks getting pregnant, but there are still cases" He smiles. "There was a Warlock & Human who have once conceived a child and there has also been a case of a Warlock and a Shadowhunter conceiving. But there has never been a case of two downworlders having children." He finishes. He has a funny look on his face, I can tell it is awkward for him to be telling me this.
"Thank You for that information Will" I try to force a smile.
"You want me to leave?" He asked.
"Um that would be nice. I could try to sleep" I suggest.
"Why can't you sleep?" He asks.
"I cant stop thinking"
"About me I'm guessing" he smirks and I sigh
"No." I lie.
"I have a way to take your mind of things"
"If you are suggesting anything to do with drinking, violence or gambling, I'm not interested"
"I was going to read to you but your idea sounds better." he smiles, his beautiful, contagious, although sarcastic smile.
"Fine, read to me Will" I huff, suddenly feeling a bit tired. Will reached over to the table beside me bed, he picks up the book I had earlier discarded, then one about the girl falling in love and starting a family.
"I have never heard of this book before." Will scans the cover.
"Neither, I picked it up from the Library earlier today." I reply
"Must be one of Charlotte's, you do know she has a very poor choice in Books."
"Read, Will." I wait impaitently. Will opens the book and starts to read. His was an excellent reader, never stumbled or said something wrong, with his thick English accent it sounded like he was singing. I was barely listening to what the words were, just the sound of them filling the room. My eyes slowly closed although i was not asleep. My breathing steadied and Will must of thought I was asleep. He finished the sentence and i could hear him placing the book on the bed, i heard him stand and brush himself off. I could feel his eyes on mine. He leant down over me, I could feel his hot breath on my face. He then surprised me by kissing my forehead. "Goodnight Tess" He whispered, turned off the lamp and left, closing the door quietly behind him. I fell asleep as soon as he was gone.
