Clace after all ✔️

Silence, Smiles and Spaghetti

"You." The all so familiar masculine voice growled. He held me tight, his grip on my arm stinging. He began groping me and ripping my clothes. I looked around but the alley wasn't there we were in black. Just the two of us. No escape. No sign of help. No. Jace.

I screamed and shot up from the pillow i had been resting on. My face sweaty and my whole body shaking. "Clary?" My eyes shot round to see a shirtless Jace, we must have fallen a sleep in our silence. I shook my head softly. "It was him,he was back." Jace laced his arms around me, pulling me closer. I lay my head on his and his fingers began playing with my hair. "I'm sorry." He whispered so quietly that I almost didn't catch it. Almost. I leant my head back so my eyes met his golden ones. My hand moved from his chest to his cheek, the back of my fingers brushing his stubble. "You have nothing to apologise for. Since I woke up, knowing everyone but you I have felt a void in my chest that I couldn't fill but you did. With every word you spoke, every breath you took and every time you've held me. You made me whole again." Tears were trickling down my cheeks and jace was welling up but I knew he wouldn't cry. He sat there shocked for a few seconds before he pulled me on to his lap and began brushing away the stray tears.
He rested his forehead on mine and we both smiled before closing our eyes and enjoying the moment. "I love you, Clary."

Jace and I spent all morning in his bed watching Netflix on his tv and cuddling but around 12:30 both our stomachs started growling. "Do you want me to order some pizza?" Jace quizzed as Blue and Simon kissed on the Ferris wheel. I shushed him loudly without taking my eyes of the screen. Once the film finished and my eyes were tearing up from happiness for Simon, I turned to Jace who started laughing at me. Frustrated with his laughter I picked up the biggest pillow I could find and smacked him round the head with it. "Hey what was that for?" Jace said shock evident in his voice. "You were laughing so I gave myself something to laugh at." I sniggered back. He glared at me playfully: "I'll give you something to laugh about" he said before lunging at me and pinning me to the bed: his legs around my waist, one hand pinning my arms above my head and the other tickling my stomach mercilessly.
"P...please stop... I'm sorry"
"I thought I told you never to apologise to me, red." He stopped and rolled off of me so he was lying on the bed beside me. "How about I make us lunch?" I offered and turned so I was resting on my shoulder, Jace was smiling at me. "You want to make me lunch?" I nodded before jumping up and running toward the door and down the stairs.
I raided the fridge and text Izzy

Clary: Hey Iz, I'm gonna cook do you want any? 😘

Iz: Sup ry. No Simon, Alec and Magnus decided to give you and Jace the house for the day.😋😘

Clary: Oh ok...☺️😅

I put my phone down and started searching the cupboards and pulled everything I needed out. I stood on my tiptoes trying to reach the top shelf when I felt muscular hands on my waist.
"Need some help there Red?" Jace breathed on my shoulder as his lips rested lightly on them.
"Nope." I announced before removing his hands from my hips and hopping up onto the counter and grabbing the pasta before jumping back down. "I'm an independent woman." I laughed as I saw him staring at my bed shorts that had ridden up slightly. I tugged on the hem, not noticing that Jace had taken steps toward me and I was backed up against the counter. He rested his forehead against mine and just his presence caused my heart to race and my breath to shake.
"Do I make you nervous Red?" He quizzed, a smirk playing on his lips.
"N-no" is all I could stutter before his lips crashed into mine. Our lips moved in sync with each other, his hands travelled from my waist to the back of my thighs and pulling my legs to wrap around his waist and lifts me onto the counter.
I pull away slightly to take a breath and rest my head on his shoulder.
"So what's for lunch?" He whispered kissing the top of my head.
"Spaghetti." I announced proudly.
His face was engulfed with a smile. I swear I could see all of his teeth.
