Golden Angel

Meeting the parents

Jace's POV

Today is the day. After two weeks of dating the girl I love I get to meet the people who gave me this gift...Her parents. Clary told me that her parents are divorced so we all decided that we would go out for dinner on Friday and guess what that Friday is today. Clary is meeting my parents next Friday because Clary's mom was only free today. Now I have to go get my beautiful girlfriend and either meet my doom or my glory.

Clary's POV

I have been trying to get dressed for 3 hours. And I have finally decided my outfit, a green and silver dress with my hair down and light makeup. I saved my prettier dress for next Friday when I meet Jace's parents.

Jace arrived and when I came down he was staring at me. "Should I go change it? Is it that bad?" I was about to turn around to go change but suddenly felt warm hands on my waist and hot lips on mine when I realized Jace was kissing me. "Clary you look beautiful." I smiled at him and we walked to the car.

Jocelyn's POV-didn't expect that did ya

It has been almost a year since I had seen Clary and Johnathan. And now I am meeting my daughter's boyfriend. I have heard about Jace a little bit from Johnathan but only the fact that he truly was happy and in love with Clary.

When I arrive at the restaurant I am nervous. Not because of Clary and Jace but because of their father, Valentine. I haven't seen him since we separated, since I cheated on him. It was the biggest mistake of my life but I was falling for someone else. His name is Luke and we are actually engaged. When I am seated I can feel the tension between me Valentine and Johnathan. Johnathan was the only other person that knew I cheated on Valentine besides Valentine himself.

Jace's POV

We are here and I have never been more ready in my life surprisingly. When the host directs us to our table everyone else was there. Of course I was comfortable around John but still he was giving me judging looks. I guess he is really protective of his sister. I look over the table as we sit down and Valentine looks me right in the eyes and after a minute of staring he smiled and and turned to Clary and nodded. I guess that was a sense of relief to her because I felt her relax next to me and she rested her head on my shoulder automatically my hand flew to her back pressing her against me. Jocelyn was the only one not giving me looks. She would just glance at me time to time with knowing. Suddenly she said "By any chance do you happen to know Stephen Herondale?" How on earth does she know my father? "Yeah he is my father and Celine Herondale is my mother." She chuckled and said "Oh, I remember the days when Stephen was too scared to tell Celine he loved her. He came to me asking how to ask her out. I told him just be himself and she can't appreciate that then she isn't worth loving, but oh they were made for each other." That sent a smile across my face. The rest of the night consisted of eating getting to know each other and questions in my direction.

Clary's POV

The night went by really well actually my parents love Jace. We all departed with smiles on our faces and laughing. John was walking with us because his car was this way. Suddenly a hash of wind flew by making goose bumps appear on my arms were my bare skin was showing. Jace must had saw and asked me if I wanted his jacket. Of course he was wearing a suit but his jacket was a black leather jacket. He put it on my my shoulders and put his arm around me and kissed my head until suddenly John said "Wow the Jace Herondale jacket on my sister's shoulders, you really do love her, Huh." John saw my confused face and said "Out of the hundreds of girls Jace has dated..." at that Jace tended and I put my hand on his and smiled at him and he relaxed. John continued "He has never let the girl touch his jacket no matter how hard that asked he wouldn't give it to them. Until now, and you didn't even have to ask." I smiled at that knowing no slut that only wanted Jace for popularity and sex and not love and lust never wore this, it was just his.

Back at my house Jace dropped me off and kissed actually more made out till he got a text from his mom saying to be home soon. At that we split apart. "Good night Clary. I love you." The last line made freeze. Did he say he loved me. "You don't have to say it back if you aren't ready. I told you we could take things at normal pace not rushed. But I do love you." I smiled and got a warm fuzzy feeling inside. He got in the car and closed the door but I realized I still had his jacket on and rushed to the car as it started. "JACE WAIT!" He rolled down the window and looked at me "You forgot your jacket and I forgot something to tell you" He smiled and took his jacket then looked back at me and kissed me "And what did you need to tell me?" He said in between kisses. It was now or never " I wanted to tell you that I love you to." He looked taken aback but recovers by crashing his lips to mine. We kissed for about ten minutes till Jace's mom called him yelling at him to get home soon. "I gotta go Clary, see you tomorrow at Izzy's house. She wanted us to come over." I nodded and he was off. I smiled a huge grin and skipped inside. Thinking today was the best day that has happened to me in a long time. And I fell asleep thinking of Jace and what our future lies ahead for us.
