My Brothers Bestfriend

Chapter 20: He Loves You

Clary's p.o.v

While we were having dinner when my phone went off.

"I'm sorry." I apologised.

"No sweetie, no need to apologise." Stephen said. I Took out my phone and silenced it, then put it back in my bag. I look back up and they are all smiling. I raise my eyebrows.

"Am I missing something?" I asked laughing. Jace shook his head and took my hand. He was sitting next to me and every time we touched each other Celine would sigh dreamily.

Once we finished dinner I went to gab my plate but Stephen stopped me.

"Oh no sweetie Celine and Jace have this. Can I just talk to you for a quick second." He said pointing to the living room.

I look at Jace and he nods.

"Um, yeah sure." We walk into the living room. Stephen sits down and pats a spot next to him. I sit down.

"So Clary I just want to tell you something." Stephen said. I'm getting a little worried. What's this about?

"Okay..." I say. Stephen looks at me with a soft face. He looks so much like Jace.

"I wanted to tell you that Celine and I came back last week." He said. I nod. Stephen continues. I don't like where this is going. "And in that time you came Sunday. And as soon as Jace met you he was amazed at how different you are to girls he used to 'date'. That night he straight away called me and Celine. He was explaining that you would be here until the end of your senior year and that he wouldn't even be able to stay In the same room As you because Clary...Jace loves you."

I was so shocked I just sat there with wide eyes.

"Has he told you he loves you?" Stephen asked.

"Uh-he said he likes me." I said. Does Jace really love me? But do I love him? I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

"Liked jeez, that boy had been chasing you from the moment you walked out of that car. As soon as he saw you he was in love with you." He said.

I was about to reply but Jace jumped on the couch next to me. I turned to smile at him but he crashed his lips to mine. I pulled back. Jace gave me his puppy dog face and kissed me again. I pulled back laughing.

"Oh come on Clary I haven't seen you all day." Jace whines.

"Jace your dad is sitting right there." I whisper. Jace looks behind me and frowns at Stephen who had smile on his face .

Jace grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Come on let's go to my room." Jace said pulling me down the hallway and up the stairs.

Jace opens his door. We walk in. He had photos of Jon and him on his desk. There was one of me. Wait what? Where did he get that? It was when I was with Jon the day before I left. We were in Central Park and was sitting on the grass, It was windy and my hair was flying everywhere, I was pushing it back and laughing, Jon was sitting next to me half pushing me over and laughing. I pick it up and look at the back. 'Jonathan and Clarissa Morgenstern.' Jace sees me looking at it and walks over to me.

"Where did you get this?" I asked chuckling slightly.

Jace laughed and picked it up. He looked at it and ran his thumb over my hair in the picture. And smiled. He then put the picture back down on his desk.

"Jon gave this to me the other day. He said that he wants me to remember you guys." Jace said chuckling.

Jace grabbed my hand and we sat on his bed. He interlaced our fingers. I looked up at him and he smiled.

"I took it because it had you in it. And can I mention how hot you look in it." He said grinning. I giggled. He gently pushed some of my hair behind my ear.
