Chapter 11- All fun and Games till Someone Gets Hurt

Clary's pov-

I walked down to the hotel restaurant and looked around for my dinner partner. When I met his eyes I smiled and walked over.

"Hey Clary, I've missed you. We haven't got to talk much since we've been here." He said. "I know Si, I've missed you too." I sat down across from him and picked up a menu.

"So, are you nervous for the wedding?" I asked him. "Terrified. I keep expecting someone to jump out and yell 'gotcha'." He said nervously. "Why Simon?" I asked.

"She's Isabelle, she's gorgeous and strong and amazing, and I'm just me. Plus I know Izzy and I'm worried that something will go wrong and she'll call it all off. Her special day has to be perfect." He laughed a little. "She loves you Si. She's not gonna leave, or call it off. No matter what goes wrong. As long as you're there, everything will be fine." I said reassuringly.

He nodded and laughed with me. We ordered our food and chatted about different things.

"So, any plans yet for after college?" I asked. "I actually got offered a position at Microsoft, designing computers and computer programs and such. It'll pay well and it's pretty close to Izzy's work so it's gonna be good for us." He said. "That's awesome Si!" I replied.

"What about you?" He asked. "I got an offer for a job at a company for graphic design. I will be designing logos and business cards and ads and other things for companies." I said. "Cool, I'm happy for you." He smiled at me.

After we finished dinner we headed to the arcade in the hotel. We played so many games I'm almost sure we spent over two hundred dollars.

"Ha-ha-haha-ha! I kicked your ass!" I gloated. "You beat me by two seconds fray! Don't get too excited." He replied.

I beat Simon in one of those racing games and now he has to by me ice cream.

We walked to the little snack shop in the hotel that also sold ice cream.

I got brownie chunk and Simon got mint chocolate. We left the store and started to walk around the hotel jut talking. I was still waiting for the question I had been expecting all night.

"How are things going with Jace?" There it is. "They're fine. Some things happened between us which I'm sure you already know about but I don't really know where we stand at this point." He sighed.

"Look Clary, you guys are playing this game of tug-of-war, and neither of you wants to give in. But soon enough one of you is going to pull to hard and the other is going to land on their face in the dirt." He had a sad smile on his face while I just stared at him.

I knew he was right, I just didn't want to believe it. "Well I promised Izzy I wouldn't be out that late so I better head back up. Just remember Clary, It's all fun and games till someone gets hurt. End the game, one way or another." He said before walking away.

He was right. I either needed to tell Jace how I feel or stop flirting with him and having moments with him at all.
