We pulled into the party, the music already booming. People were laughing and talking, mostly screaming over the music.
Alec and I exited the car, Isabelle walking out of the doorway along with Jessica greeting me with a hug. Walking inside, I was confused "I thought you two were late!" It was Isabelle. She had been here all along. She smiled at me.
"I was!" Alec and I walked over to a collapsible table as Jessica wondered off with a boy. He handed me red solo cup with something inside that smelled like cheep beer and something fruity.
After talking, walking around and dancing, Isabelle got picked up by Raphael and went into another room for a while. Alec and I ended up in the same hallway. We were both leaning against the wall adjacent to eachother, talking about nonsensical things.
I lifted my eyes up to his, and in that one moment he discarded his cup, cornering me against the wall before leaning down to kiss me. I gasped slightly, dropping my half empty cup, letting it fall to the floor.
Both of his hands trapped me against the wall, keeping me steady. I snaked my arms up behind his neck to pull him closer, deepening the kiss.
What was I doing? I kept asking myself. But I answered my question, You're doing the right thing.
The next morning I woke up at five thirty to see the sun break the night. I get ready for the day and go down to get some breakfast.
I spotted Alec eating alone. I sat down with my bowl of corn flakes in front of me.
"Hey Alec!"
"Hey Clary"
He looked like hell and seemed as if he did not want to get up that morning. He didn't even lookup.
"Hangover?"
"Yeah the worst I don't even remember what happened last night."
Great he doesn't remember the thing I most absolutely wont forget. His lips against mine, both our breaths hitched and running out. We couldn't get enough from one another.
"Oh you don't remember?" My face revealed all my sadness.
"Did something happen?" He finally glanced up noticing my expression. I replaced it with a slight forced smile.
"Well kind of but it meant nothing to me if it means nothing to you." I start devouring my cereal trying to make this a fast conversation.
"What happened?" He stopped his eating and just stayed starring at me.
"We kissed." I rushed out. I made eye contact with him and stood up leaving the room.
I have to train today and I'm already regretting booking my time with Alec. I got prepared waiting for Alec to come train me. As he came up to the mat he told me the instructions.
"Okay activate you awareness rune!" I did so, he try's to hit me but with my reflex I hit him in the outer thigh making him get somewhat out of balance to give me enough time to hit Alec in the liver to make pain and dizziness.
Time passed of me kicking Alecs ass and him crying over it.
"Okay Clary you need no more training for the day!" He sits down I rush over and grab my stelle run it over his Iratze (heal) rune.
"Are you okay?" I sat beside him. "Yeah I'm fine but your getting better!" He does his sweet small grin and looks into my eyes as I look into his. I back up making sure there were space between us.
"What's the problem Clary?" He seemed worrier for my actions. I didn't want an unwanted kiss happening again, well unwanted from him at least. "If we kiss I don't think I'll be able to stop." I get up and go to my room. The stress taking over me and causing me to fall asleep.
Alec's p.o.v
I woke up remembering the kiss that had happened at the party her sweet soft lips on mine her pulling me closer and closer. I keep imagining the scene over and over again seeing it better every time. I could only imagine what Jace would think or even say but the best part would be his expression on his face. As I got out of bed there was a knock on the door I replyed 'come in' as I started putting on black pants.
Clary pov
As Alec allows me to come in he was in the middle of putting on some pants only reaveling his die hard skin and his line of boxers at the top peeking out. Alec ignored me checking him out and interuppted my gaze.
"Clary!"
Exiting my gaze "Yeah what? Oh right I was wondering if we could talk?"
I set myslef down onto his deep blood red sheets. Alec sits down next to me still no shirt on.
"What did you want to talk about?"
"The kiss." A harsh voice comes from behind me in Alecs doorway. "What kiss!" I turn swiftly seeing Jace run towards me slapping me pushing me towards the bed. My cheek red bursting into flames. Jace calling me hurtful names as Alec pushes him out. I stayed laying on the bed litsening to the words.
"you whore!!" "Fucking slut!"
As Alec gets him out he closes the door and rushes over to me. Him on his knees looking up at me water falling down my eyes. He looks into my watering eyes and rubs his hand on my cheek.
"Does it hurt?"
"A little."
He was calm and delicate with me he was nothing like Jace.
"You may have a slight bruise but other then that you seem fine." I nod my head aggreeing with him. As he got closer I got closer kissing each other again but this time sober and no alcohol involved.
It felt like watching fireworks on the fourth of July or getting married for the first time. I felt home safe not worrying about anyone else.
