This is like a bunch of little one shots that I put together as one. This is going to be a few chapters to complete the story.
The story takes place many years in the future. Flashbacks begin after the first set of lyrics.
EZRIASEX: MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENE IN THE HISTORY OF PRETTY LITTLE LIARS. EZRIASEX: MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENE IN THE HISTORY OF TV. EZRIA: MOST BEAUTIFUL COUPLE IN THE HISTORY OF LOVE. HE WAS HOLDING HER HAND. EZRIA HAD SEX. OH MY GOD. MY EMOTIONS.
Okay. Fangirling's over. Onto the story.
Remind Me
I hurried through the long rows of shelves, desperately trying to find a copy of Romeo and Juliet. I had an unexplainable urge to reread the story when I had woken up this morning. I had had a dream about Ezra last night, and since then, I've been jittery and confused. I hadn't thought about him or spoken to him in years when he moved out of Rosewood to get a new job. We had tried to keep a long distance relationship, but no matter how hard the two of us tried to ignore it, we were failing miserably. Nothing could make up for the kisses and touches that were no longer a part of our relationship. The sparks that I used to always feel whenever our skin met was a mere memory, slowly fading as time went on. The calls, Skype sessions, and texts, started out happening all the time. It got to the point where I refused to put down my phone, knowing that it was one of the few connections we had left together. However, life soon caught up to us, causing the calls and texts to dwindle from every night to twice a week, to only texts, then fading completely. I regretted letting him go every day. I had spent a countless number of nights after he left, locked away in my room sobbing. If my father hadn't been such of a hypocrite, I'd probably be living in a cute two-story house with Ezra and our two perfect children.
I was whisked out of my heartbreaking thoughts as I spotted a book lying face down on the ground. I frowned; upset that someone had been so reckless with a book. I bent down to pick it up but gasped as I recognized the title.
An Endless Love
I slowly brushed my fingers against the author's name, engraved at the bottom of the book in gold writing. I had known he had published a book years ago. I had yet to read it, however, in fear of what reading it would cause.
I knew that the book was about me. Us. Our love. Our endless love.
I knew that reading this book would resurface all the feelings that I had spent so long trying to get over and lock away, in an effort not to lose myself from losing him.
However, at that moment, holding his book in my hands, the memories all flooded back at me.
I felt my eyes welling up with tears as memories of his delicate touches, tender kisses, and velvety voice whispering loving words in my ear, flooded through my mind. I leaned against the bookshelf behind me for support. I grasped the locket I wore around my neck as I clutched the book close to my chest, close to my heart, as my knees gave out and I crumbled to the floor in tears.
How could I have let him go? I looked down at the gold locket I still held tightly in my hand. Inside was a picture of Ezra and I. Ezra had given it to me before he had left town years ago. A year after he had left, I had taken it off for the first time, in an effort to try to move on and take control of my life again. I had tried dating new guys, but none of them ever compared to Ezra.
One night after a disastrous break up with my boyfriend of one year, I drove home in tears. As soon as I had entered my apartment, I walked straight to my jewelry box, and picked up the necklace again for the first time in years, and without hesitation, I fastened it around my neck. At that moment, I had promised myself I would never take it off again.
"You okay over there?" I heard a masculine voice ask curiously.
I hastily wiped away my remaining tears, hoping that my make up had not smudged. As I turned around to see the stranger, a gasp escaped my lips.
We didn't care if people stared
We'd make out in a crowd somewhere
Somebody'd tell us to get a room
It's hard to believe that was me and you
"Are you sure about this, Aria?" Ezra asked, pacing around his apartment. I bit my lip as I pondered a response to his question. The next school dance was tonight and it was a Masquerade ball. Ezra and I were letting more and more people find out about our relationship and although neither one of us wanted to admit it, tonight was the perfect way to completely break the ice. After tonight, everyone in Rosewood would know that Aria Montgomery and Ezra Fitz were a couple.
"Yeah, I am." I nodded as I looked back up at him.
Ezra walked over to me and took my hands in his. "You're not worried about what everyone is going to say about us? Rumors will be everywhere. I mean, I want to do this as much as you do, but I don't want to see you get hurt."
I shook my head. "I can handle it. The only person I care about is you. Since when have we ever cared about what people think of us?"
"You're right." He nodded. "If you're ready for this, then so am I."
"Aria, Ezra's here!" I heard Ella call from downstairs.
"Coming!" I called back.
I grabbed my purse and stuffed my cell phone, credit card, and some more bobby pins into it. I took one last glance at myself in the mirror to make sure my make up was still flawless, my hair was all in place, and my dress was wrinkle free, before heading down the stairs.
Standing in front of the door holding a single red rose was Ezra, talking with Byron. Ezra's face lit up as soon as he saw me.
"This is for you." He handed me the rose. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks." I whispered, as I leaned up and kissed his cheek.
As I pulled away, he intertwined our hands. The fact that we could hold hands in front of my parents without causing any trouble excited me to no end.
"Take care of her tonight, Ezra." Ella said with a hint of playfulness in her voice. "She needs to be home before one."
"Of course." Ezra responded, smiling brightly.
I followed Ezra out to his car and thanked him as he opened my door for me. I couldn't believe this. Ezra and I were actually going to a school dance together. I had always dreamt of this moment, a time where we could be a normal couple and show everyone how much we loved each other, but I couldn't help the nervousness that was slowly filling me up.
We arrived at the school ten minutes later. I pulled my mask and Ezra's mask out of my purse and handed Ezra's mask to him.
"Are you ready for this?" I asked, trying to hide my smile.
"More than I'll ever be." He responded, before getting out of the car and opening my door for me. He held his hand out to help me up and I couldn't help but blush at how sweet he was being.
"I really meant it earlier." Ezra pulled me closer to him and wrapped an arm around my waist as he brushed away a few strands of hair from my eyes. "You look beautiful."
I blushed as I responded, "You look pretty handsome yourself, Mr. Fitz." I smiled at irony of calling him Mr. Fitz again, especially since we were at school.
He gave me a chaste kiss before we both put our masks on as we headed towards the entrance of the school.
I took a deep breath before pushing the door to the school gym open.
I gasped as I took in all of my surroundings. The gym had been completely transformed. Lights sparkled along the ceiling, illuminating the whole room with a light glow. Everyone was dressed in masks and costumes, making it almost impossible to tell who was who. I quickly spotted three girls huddled in a corner of the gym and almost immediately knew who they were.
"C'mon, the girls are over there." I smiled at Ezra, as I took his hand in mine and led him to the other side of the gym.
As soon as they spotted me, smirks appeared on all three of their faces. They must have known I was bringing Ezra with me.
"Hey, Mr. Fitz." Hanna said, as Caleb walked up behind her.
"Hanna." Ezra nodded.
"Mr. Fitz? What are you doing here?" Caleb asked curiously.
Ezra and I shared a glance, neither of us knowing how to respond.
"I love this song, c'mon let's dance." Hanna suddenly said, as she grabbed Caleb's hand and led him away from us.
"I knew that this would be awkward but I didn't think it would be like this." Ezra whispered into my ear. "Your friends barely know me."
I looked up at him and kissed his cheek before responding. "Well we've got forever for them to get to know you." I tilted my head a little towards all the couples dancing in the center of the gym. "Come on, let's dance."
"I can't believe we're doing this." I giggled, unable to hide my excitement.
I wrapped my arms around Ezra's neck as he wrapped his around my waist, holding our bodies against each other. We slow danced to the music, basking in the feelings that came with being together in public.
Ezra looked deep in thought. All of a sudden, he reached up to my face and begun lifting up my mask.
What was he doing?
"It's not midnight yet. What are you doing?" I asked him nervously as I grabbed his wrists, stopping him from removing my mask.
"It's our first dance. I want to be able to see you." He said, looking at me with so much love in his eyes that I just wanted to rip his mask off and crush my lips against his.
So that's exactly what I did; in a more sane way, of course.
I bit my lip in nervousness as I let him slowly lift my mask off.
I couldn't help but smile at his eagerness of the whole situation. He was really ready for this. To tell the whole world that he was in love with me. I could not explain the happiness that was coursing through my veins at the thought that this was it. This was the moment we had been waiting for. This moment was what our whole relationship had been building up to. Normally, no one would think twice about taking off their partner's mask at a masquerade ball. But our relationship was anything but normal. We had spent so long worrying, planning, and debating, about how we would finally break the news of our relationship to the world.
No moment seemed better than now.
As he slid my mask off I could not help but smile at the thought that this was actually happening. This moment was real. I had been dreaming and fantasizing about it for so long, and now it was actually happening.
He held my mask in his fingers as I reached up and brushed his cheek before slowly removing his mask. Neither one of us dared to break the intense gaze we were sharing. When I had finally removed Ezra's mask, he pulled me closer to him, as we both beamed at each other; the same feelings rushing through each of our bodies.
Ezra leaned down to kiss me as he pulled my body even closer to him. Our lips met in a soft, sweet kiss. He cupped my face in his hands, deepening the kiss.
Ezra's mask slipped from my fingers as I tangled my fingers in his hair, landing on the floor with a soft thud.
My mask fell to the floor in turn as Ezra got just as lost in the kiss as I had.
Do you remember the way it felt
You mean back when we couldn't control ourselves
Remind me
Baby remind me
I twirled a strand of hair around my finger as I watch Ezra, ahem, I mean, Mr. Fitz, go over the themes of The Scarlet Letter with my Junior English class. I couldn't take my eyes off of him, but no one seemed to notice, since almost every other girl's eyes were glued to him too.
He looked so hot in his blue button down and tie. I wanted to run my fingers through his dark curls, feeling the softness of them. His lips looked so soft and I had to fight the urge that was building up inside of me to just get out of my seat and kiss him.
My phone buzzed in my pocket, whisking me out of my thoughts. I slowly pulled it out, hiding it from Ezra's view under my desk.
Hanna: See something you like? ;)
I shot her a glare as I slid my phone back into my pocket. Apart from the countless alibi's they provided me with, telling the girls about my relationship was a huge mistake. The dirty jokes and teasing was endless and I had a feeling that even after we graduated and Ezra was no longer my teacher, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily, would still find ways to tease me about my relationship.
"Miss Montgomery?"
I looked up to see Ezra looking at me, worry spread across his face as he silently tried to ask me what was wrong. I usually never zoned out in English class except when I was too busy fantasizing about Ezra and the things we would do when we were alone, but Ezra was pretty good at distinguishing when I was thinking about him as opposed to something else.
"Y-yeah. Sorry." I apologized, knowing he probably saw my phone.
"Any thoughts?" He asked.
I looked at him in confusion. What had he been talking about? Why was he putting me on the spot like this?
"Um…" I began, but the bell rang at that very second, saving me from having to come up with an answer.
I smirked at him, loving the fact that his attempt at putting me on the spot failed miserably.
Shuffling of papers and feet filled the room as the class proceeded out the door.
"Don't forget to read chapters ten through fifteen for tomorrow!" Ezra reminded the students who still remained in the classroom, packing up their belongings.
I slowly started putting my notebook back into my backpack before I noticed a small white piece of paper folded up at the edge of desk. Confusion and fear rushed through me. Was it a note from A? What did they want now? Why couldn't they just leave us alone?
I slowly unfolded the piece of paper, not knowing what was coming. I let out the breath I had been holding as I read the words.
I don't think the two of you could make it anymore obvious ~Spencer
I looked up to see Spencer wink at me before following Hanna and Emily out of the room.
I shook my head as I crumbled the paper in my hands and threw it into my backpack.
"Miss Montgomery, could I… see you for a minute?" Ezra asked.
I nodded, as I watched the last few people leave the room. Ezra followed them
I moved a stack of papers on his desk as I sat down on top of it. Ezra closed the door to the classroom before walking towards me.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to hide my feelings for you when you stare at me all class?"
I jumped off the desk, unable to control myself from his words as I cradled his face in my hands and kissed him roughly on the lips. He returned the kiss with just as much vigor, as I tangled my fingers in his hair.
"Want to tell me what you were thinking about?" Ezra asked, jokingly.
"I'd rather show you." I took his hands in mine and pulled him closer to me as our lips met again in a heated kiss. He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close against him as I cradled his face in my hands, kissing him with all the passion and love that had built up during class.
I let go of the locket, letting it fall back against my chest; my heart.
"Ezra?" I whispered, in astonishment.
