London,

England

"Good

morning, sunshine!"

I groan, "really, Cal?" I hear a chuckle, and stifle another groan.

I try to bury myself in the quilt, but all too soon, it is being ripped from on top of me. Damn Cal and his inhuman strength!

"Get up!" I can almost hear his grin. "up! Up! Up!"

"...is a Disney movie. I know!" I grin into my pillow. "and keep trying.
I am going to sleep more. It's not like I have much to do, anyway. Go away. Shoo! Go catch some murderers..." I mumble.

Cal just grunts, "yeah. But then I promised my most favorite girl in the world that I would stop being such a workaholic..."

I chuckle, "who? Your mom?"

he laughs out loud, "if you are my mom, sure!"

I grunt, "ew!"

That just elicits another laugh from him, "whatever! Just get up, lazy. Ben called for you. He asked if you considered what he told you."

he sounded curious.

I bolt upright, "damn! I have to... I have to call him."

I look around, to find a startled looking Cal standing at the end of my
bed, holding a tray. I give a bright smile, and take the tray. He laughs again.

"but I guess it can wait till after breakfast!" I smile sheepishly. Cal nods and sits down on the bed. I look at him questioningly, but he
just nods at the tray. He wants me to start eating. I just shrug in reply and dig right in, all the while, remembering that I have an audience.

Ifinish off the last bits of pancake, and get up. Cal gets up at the same time. I take the tray to the kitchen and pop it into the dishwasher, while Cal follows me like a lost puppy. When I am done, I
turn back, to find Cal looking at me curiously.

I sigh defeatedly, "you won't stop following me?"

"Not unless you go to the washroom!" he grins.Ben's number, that I had by-heart since a very long time ago.

Not three rings later, Ben picks up, "Callum! Is Clary ready to speak to me? Or wait... is she still asleep?"

I giggled, "I am awake, Benny... what's the matter?"

"well, well! If it isn't sleeping beauty!" I hear him chuckle, which
automatically makes me roll my eyes.

"don't roll your eyes at me, Clary!"

I gasp, "twin sense!"

that makes him laugh again.

"so, what's up?"

"huh! Such a hurry! At least tell me a proper hullo, woman!"

"hullo. Now, why did you call?"

I hear him sigh, "your patience astounds me!"
