Chapter 26

The families are going to be here for a few days. So, this is going to be interesting. I am happy to have my mom around. Also, maybe Magnus can help me with a current thing. I am going to need on girls' day with him and my girlfriends.

Today Izzy, Aline, Helen, Dot, and Magnus are going to hang out in town. We were hanging out at the cafe we love to hang out at.

"So, biscuit anyone that catches your beautiful artistic eyes?" Magnus asked me.

I didn't say anything. I looked away from him. He looked at me and smiled. Then he looked over to my friends. I know he was going to try and get information from them.

"Clary, I watched you grow up. I lived with you and your mom since you were a baby. So, I know that look. Who is he?" Dot asked me.

Just like he knows when someone is talking or thinking about him Jace just walked in. He was with Izzy's little brother, Max. He was good with him. Max seems like he looks up to him. I then looked away but not before seeing me and gave me a smile. I gave him a smile back. I went back to the group.

"Does that answer your question?" Izzy says to him.

"Who is he?" He asked the girls.

They all looked at each other. I was watching them. But I already know who would be the one to open their mouths. Then Izzy said,

"Sorry Clary. But that's Jace. He is my brother. He is a big player. Full of himself. But has a kind heart when he wants too. One of the best shadowhunter fighters."

"A player huh? Maybe Clary here can be the one to tame him." Dot commented. They all started to laugh.

"Then why are you not fighting those hoes to get your man?" Magnus asked me.

"Because he only looks at me like a friend nothing else. That's all we are. So, it's alright. I know I never had a chance any ways." I told them.

"My brother is being a butt head. He does have feelings for her but doesn't know what they are. But she is someone he doesn't want to lose because she is special to him." Izzy to them.

"Then he likes you. Trust me. He keeps looking over here." Dot said.

Everyone looked over to him. He then quickly looked away. We all burst out in laughter. He got caught.

*Jace's POV*

I quickly looked away because I just got caught looking over at Clary. Max started to laugh at me. He knows I am a lady's man. We then walked out of the cafe shop with our drinks.

"Jace, I have a question for you?" He asked me.

"What's up little man?" I asked him.

"You keep looking at that Clary girl. Do you like her? Because I thought you were ladies' man. You are not really act like it around her." He said.

"Max, you are one smart kid. Has anyone told you that? With Clary, it's something else. She is different. My cool doesn't care act doesn't really work on her. So, I must figure her out. But with my feelings with her. Yes, I do like her." I told him.

Yeah, I know I said I didn't know my feelings about her. But after hanging out with her so much and our training sessions. I got to know her better and my feelings for her just grow. So, yeah, I have feelings for Clary. It's just I don't know how to go by this. I never felt this way for a girl.
