Loving The Enemy

24: Presents

"Oooh! Open my present first!" Cecily exclaimed excitedly.

We were all back at my house, eating cake. Isabelle baked the cake, and I hate to say it, but it was horrible. Will had practically spit it out when he had taken a bite, and Izzy had glared at him fiercely. I only chuckled, and smiled at her. I didn't care that it tasted bad, it was the thought that counted.

"You guys didn't have to get me presents, too. Everything else was enough." I said.

Will scoffed. "What kind of birthday doesn't have presents?"

"Exactly!" Cecily exclaimed, and pushed a box wrapped with blue wrapping paper towards me.

I only smiled at her, and took the present, and unwrapped it. She got me the new Justin Bieber CD and the new One Direction one. I squealed excitedly, I loved them both so much. She also got me three bags of my favourite candies.

"Thank you so much!" I embraced her.

Isabelle was next. She passed me a box with red wrapping paper, and I chuckled to myself. Her colour was always red, and Cecy's was always blue, with everything. I unwrapped the box, and opened it. Isabelle had gotten me a short cute black dress, with a gold necklace and gold earrings.

"Oooh pretty, thanks." I beamed, and she smiled at me.

Clary then gave me hers, and I quickly unwrapped it. It was a painting, she had painted herself. It was a picture of four girls, their backs facing everyone. The first one had red hair, a paint brush dangling from her hand, and she was wearing jeans and a paint stained white t-shirt. The next girl had black hair, and was wearing a red dress, a lipstick in her hand. Beside her, was another black haired girl, in a blue dress, a phone in her hand. Finally, there was a brown haired girl, dressed casually, a book clutched to her side. I smiled widely, it was a painting of the four of us.

"Clary." I breathed. "It's beautiful."

"It's kind of from the three of us, Cecy and Izzy gave me the idea, but I painted it." Clary grinned, looking bashful.

I hugged her tightly, and then Alec and Gabriel gave me their present. They bought me an iTunes gift card, and tons of candy. I laughed, they knew me so well. Simon got me a gift card to Barnes & Noble, and no surprise, more candy. Then, Jace passed me his gift. He got me a new book, a gift card to "Forever 21", and then he passed me his phone.

"You're giving me your phone as a gift?" I raised an eyebrow, amused.

Jace smirked devilishly. "Not the phone, the video on it. Play it, and make sure you turn up the volume."

He gave me his phone, and I pressed play on the video, and made sure the volume was all the way up. It started playing, and right away I saw that it was Will sleeping in a bed. Then, all of the sudden, he started to moan my name. I burst out laughing, this must have been when he um dreamt about me. Hearing it, Will shot up and started to tackle Jace.

"You asshole!" He shouted, pulling a laughing Jace to the ground.

"Ugh, right there Tessa." Will moaned in the video, and everyone burst out laughing again.

"Will, I can't believe you have such deep feelings about--" Jace started, smirking.

"Shut up!" Will shouted, as he tackled him again.

"Tell us Will, do you dream about Tessa like that a lot?" Jace teased, smirking.

"You're such a dick!" Will exclaimed, and they started fighting on the ground all over again.

After the video was finally over, Jace managed to pry Will off of him. They both sat down, and Will was glaring at his cousin fiercely, muttering profanities under his breath. After he had recovered, Will handed me a big box, that was very heavy. I tore open the wrapping paper, and opened the box. I stared in surprise, and picked up the contents inside. Will had gotten me every Charles Dickens book. Every single one.

"Will." I breathed. "I--I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything, just tell me you like it." Will smirked.

"I love it!" I exclaimed. "I love Charles Dickens!"

He chuckled, looking amused. "I know."

I looked up at him again, to see him smiling at me softly. My gaze locked with his, and his blue eyes seemed to be the only thing in the room, suddenly. I felt my stomach tighten, and I felt a bit dizzy. I quickly snapped out of my trance, by Clary talking.

"We should probably get our bags from our cars." She said.

"Bags?" I echoed.

She smirked slightly. "Yeah, we're all spending the night. Your aunt suggested it."

I smiled at them, and my eyes went to Will. He was smirking at me. Oh, there was no way we were going to do what he was thinking. Not a third time. I looked up at him again. Ugh, he was so freaking hot. I mean, how did someone even get that good looking? Like damn share some. Him and Cecily both. Everyone went to their cars, and retrieved their bags. When everyone was back, we all sat around my living room. Isabelle put on music through my speakers, and then "Wannabe" by The Spice Girls came on. The four of us girls bolted up, grinning wildly.

"Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want!" Isabelle started loudly.

"So tell me what you want, what you really want." Cecily belted out.

"I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want." Clary sang next.

"So tell me what you want, what you really want." I sang.

"I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really really really wanna zigazig ha!" We all then chorused.

We then continued to alternate parts, and then we reached the chorus.

"If you wanna be my lover, you've gotta get with my friends." Isabelle sang.

"Make it last forever, friendship never ends!" Cecily shouted.

"If you wanna be my loved, you have got to give." Clary was next.

"Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is!" I sang loudly.

"SHUT UP!" Jace then shouted.

Us four girls stopped, and shot him a glare.

"Holy shit, that was torture." He groaned.

"How the hell did you guys know your parts?" Will was wide eyed.

Izzy laughed. "We had do that for our eighth grade presentation, in Drama."

"It was amazing." I chuckled.

"Did you sound as bad then, too?" Jace sounded amused.

"Shut up, Blondie." Cecily glared at her cousin.

Everyone only laughed.
