I know! I know! I've been gone for so long and I am extremely sorry for that but I hope this chapter makes up for it a little bit. Sorry guys I love you!

Will's POV

Concentrating on the ride to dinner was a struggle and a major achievement for me when I didn't kill us all. I don't know what it is about this girl that makes me feel giddy and nervous all at the same time. Maybe I just like to push her buttons.. Yeah that would explain why I held the door open for her to get in the car- the one and only time I have ever done that for a girl who's not family- and felt a strange tingling sensation in my hand when she used it to get in the car, it's not at all because I have any feelingso for her, it's just attraction and the sooner I get it over with the better I will feel. ( I should have known that wouldn't be the case with Tessa, she has always been my exception)

"Ouch, dammit what the hell? Cecily you can't just smack people on the head because you want there attention.. Tessa on the other hand can slap me somewhere vey different." I added on the end just to get a reaction from her, but Tessa wasn't even listening, or standing right next to me waiting for our table like I thought. No, Tessa was standing in the middle of a small group of boys who looked completely mystified by the girl in front of them, and yet somehow Tessa still remained oblivious to the look in their eyes, total attraction and the thing that had me wanting to rip all of their heads off, lust. So being the rational man I am I did the only thing I could think of to get my Tessa.. I mean my next conquest away from the boys and focusing on me. Of course I should have known that with Tessa, my only exception to pretty much everything, my plan would backfire but for that one minute, I really didn't care. Because for an entire minute, I was kissing Tessa Gray.

Tessa's POV

Something must be mentally wrong with me, that's the only explanation as to why I'm having dirty thoughts about HIM. I mean your not supposed to have those thoughts period about William Herondale. But you're especially not supposed to have those thoughts while he's sitting in the drivers seat talking to his sister, who also happens to be my best friend, whose sitting in the passenger seat. I realize where she's sitting might be irrelevant, but not when you are imagining all the things you would like to do with said persons brother in that seat.. Hell who am I kidding I'd like to do it in every seat. God no bad Tessa I just need to distract myself.

By now we have already made it to the restaurant and I know that if I look at Will one more time I'm going to do something extremely embarrassing and I'm pretty sure is illegal to do in public. No! I can't think about this anymore, I'll just go get a drink. When I get to the bar area I see a group of boys looking apraisingly at me a few stools down. They are all fairly attractive, two look like they could be twins and one looks a little like an ostrich, you know those people who just kind of look like animals? We'll anyway he did but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing because he was pretty damn hot! So I did what any girl would do when seeing hot guys.. I blushed bright red and turned away. I know what you're thinking "yeah Tessa real smooth" I mean I know right it's just one of my many talents. You see one of yhe things I am not good at is talking to a group of boys, my rules are to avoid eye contact(people usually take this as a go away) and not to smile at them (boys usually take this as an invitations to try to pick you up and use all of there cheesy, barf worthy lines)

Apparently these guys either didn't get the rules or just didn't care because they came up to me anyway and I decided that maybe that wasn't such a bad thing.

"Hey beautiful how you doin?" I stared blankly at one of the twins and then unable to help it, I burst out lauging, and not one of those cute girly laughs, no, a full out laughing fit with snorting and all. When I finally managed to speak I was only able splutter out a breathless "I be doin fine Romeo but if you use one more of those lines on me I might pull a Juliet and kill myself, but his time to it will be to avoid you." His friends burst out laughing at this and he even manages a small smile.

"Ok then because for some reason you aren't bowing down before me because of my charm, I'll have to do this the hard way." He takes a deep breathe and looks me dead in the eyes just to say "Jake" and stick out his hand for me to shake. Not at all what I expected and I let out a surprised and embarrassingly relieved laugh. "Tessa" I manage to respond sounding more normal because I'm finally not laughing while I try to talk. After the other to boys introduce themselves as John, and Damon, we talk for what seems like a long time but couldn't have been more than ten minutes, only to be interrupted by a figure pushing Jake, and Damon out of the way, and force his lips onto mine in a possessive fashion. And even if I hated to admit it, I could tell by his scent, the gentle, yet demanding grip of his hand in my hair and around my waist, but mostly I could tell who it was by the sweet taste of his lips that even though this was my first taste seemed like my favorite candy, familiar and something I could never get enough of. Yes, I knew exactly who it was, but for some unexplainable reason, I kissed him back. Me, Theresa Gray, was kissing the William Herondale back with as much fervor as he was. I should have known right at that moment that William Herondale would be the death of me.
