Chapter 18: Sightseeing & Surprise!

Clary's POV

"Close your eyes, Clary. I have a little surprise for you." He puts his hands around my waist and leads me outside.

I giggle softly. "Okay, Jonathan. But don't lead me anywhere dangerous, okay?"

"I would never do that, Clary." He whispers in my ear and kisses me on the cheek.

He leads me gently outside. I feel a cool breeze hit my face.

"Okay. Open your eyes." I open my eyes to see a two horse buggy.

"What's this, Jonathan?" I turn around and smile at him.

"I've always liked this kind of transportation. I thought it would be perfect for our sightseeing adventure." He smirked at me.

"That's so sweet." I kissed him gently on the cheek.

"Well let's go, doll." He leads me to the buggy and helps me in. "So where to first?"

"Ummmm.... Surprise me, sir." I wink and rest my head on his shoulder.

"Okay, doll. Sir to the hollywood walk of fame." He smiles down at me and puts his arm around my small shoulders.

~40 minutes later~

"Sir, we're here." The driver yells to us.

"Come on, Clary!" Jonathan jumped out of the buggy and and offered me his hand.

I jumped out the other side and winked at Jonathan. He laughed and tipped the driver.

We waited for the driver to leave and then I looped my arms with his. He looked surprised but quickly smiled and kissed me forehead.

We walked and took silly pictures with the stars and then we went to the Chinese theater.

"Give me your arm." Jonathan pulled out his stele and drew a rune. A rune to make me invisible to mundane eyes.

"Why did you draw that rune?" I asked curiously.

"Just follow my lead." He winked at me.

I began climbing the Chinese Theater.

"What the hell are you doing?" I yelled at him.

His lips curled into the most beautiful smile. "I'm sightseeing. The shadowhunter way! Come on, slowpoke!" He chuckled and continued to climb.

Eventually we both made it to the top and somehow I was the only one that was tired and out of breath.

"Why is it," I gasp for air." That this was." *Gasp* "Was absoultely no problem for you" *gasp* "But I'm sucking wind?" I almost collapse if Jonathan wasn't holding me up.

He laughs and picks me up in his arms. "Because I've lived as a shadowhunter my entire life. You, doll, have been a mundie for most of your life." He winks and I punch him playfully in the chest.

"Put me down, Jonathan. This mundie can take care of herself." He sets me down gently on my feet and then walks to the edge of the Chinese Theater. He gracefully sits down.

"Clary, come over here. It's beautiful." He motions to join him.

I walk over to join him. I look down at him. "Do I have to sit down?"

Ha laughs and takes my hand. "Yes you do."

"Why?"

"Because I said so." He pulled me down into his lap and held me close to his chest.
