Falling

A/N: Fuck life. Sorry for the swearing in this chappie.

"Hey Clary, wait up!" I instantly recognized the smooth, comforting voice. My heart began to thud faster as I turned to face him. I slowed my pace and Jace caught up, brushing ever so slightly against my arm. A rosy blush crept up my face while my arm was tingling from the contact.

"So…how was your weekend?" Jace asked. He ran a hand through his golden, glossy hair, distracting me from his question. My fingers itched to loop themselves through his silky soft golden curls. Sunlight accentuated his angular features, highlighting his jawline and cheekbones. So perfect…

Just realizing that Jace had asked a question, I blinked and began to blush furiously. Damn my pale skin. "Um…" I began to murmur. "Sorry what was your question?"

Jace's lips morphed into his signature smirk. "His Doucheyness" replied, "Hey, no need to be embarrassed – nobody can resist a taste of this." At that, Jace swept an arm down the front of his body, gesturing towards his well-toned abs and other…yummies.

"You're such as arrogant ass, Jace," I exclaimed, giving him a playful punch on the arm.

"It's what you love most about me, huh?" Jace said, a grin spreading across his face. He began to lean forward, backing me up against the wall. Everything seemed to disappear, everything except for Jace, Jace, and Jace.

Lemons and a warmer, muskier scent filled my nostrils, addling my thoughts until they turned to mush. My eyes were entrapped in Jace's gaze. I could almost name the colors in his eyes, amber, hazel, gold, peach, but soon enough, he was too close, too close for my brain to process anything.

My heart thumped faster and louder, and the rush of adrenaline and anticipation blotted out all other sounds. My lips involuntarily parted, and my eyes flickered to his lips, so soft and kissable. My breathing became faster and faster, my chest heaving up and down. He was closer, only a few centimeters apart. I fluttered my eyelids closed and leaned forwards, and

RING! RING! RING!

"Damn," I swore as my eyes flew open in shock. Jace and I had sprung apart to a more respectable distance.

Jace let out a low chuckle that caused miniature butterflies to flutter around. "Damn right you are. You'd better hurry, Shortcake – I think the bell just rang." And with that, Jace walked away, but not before dropping a small wink in.

I slid down the wall, groaning as I did so. The things he did to me… I stayed like that until I was sure my heartbeat, breathing, and skin color was normal again, processing the events that had flashed by so quickly. I wonder what would've happened if the bell…never mind.

All I knew was that I was falling, falling hard for Jace Wayland.

A/N: I'm sorry it's so short! I'm just trying to get back into life and fanfic… I promise you a longer chapter next time! You guys really deserve better… Anyways, review?
