Aria Montgomery was sitting on the couch in her apartment, humming along to the music she was listening to as she typed out an essay for her Childhood Development course. After she graduated from Rosewood high school along with her best friends Hanna, Emily, and Spencer, she moved up north to New York City to attend New York University. The year is 2015 and Aria is in her senior year of college. She's majoring in Early Childhood Education with high hopes of teaching children at an early level. Aria took a sip from her glass of water as the door burst open.

When she turned around, she was greeted with the flawless face of her boyfriend, Ezra Fitz. Yes, the two are still dating. When Aria decided to move out to New York, Ezra originally stayed in Rosewood. After spending a wonderful summer together between Aria's freshman and sophomore years of college, Ezra followed her up to New York, where he found a job teaching high school english. Instead of living in a dorm for her sophomore year, Aria moved in with Ezra. Everyone thinks Aria and Ezra are destined to be married, and Aria's friends have speculated that Ezra will pop the question soon. Of course, Aria is certain she will say yes.

Aria giggled at the sight of her disheveled boyfriend. He was juggling three grocery bags in one arm and his briefcase, complete with papers falling out of it, on the other. Aria slid her feet onto the cold ground and got up off the couch to help Ezra. She pulled the grocery bags out of his hands and placed the on the counter, beginning to unpack the various items he'd purchased.

"Any ideas for dinner tonight?" Aria asked once Ezra put down his briefcase and settled himself into a stool in front of the counter.

"I hadn't planned anything," Ezra replied. "I have a lot of papers to grade tonight so I don't have a lot of time."

Aria nodded as she placed the milk into the refrigerator. She was used to Ezra having to spend some nights cooped up in his office grading papers. After Aria finished unpacking all the groceries, she tried to pull a box of elbow macaroni from the top cabinet. She glanced over at Ezra with a smile on her face.

"A little help here?" she questioned with a laugh. He stood up and walked over, easily reaching over her to grab the box off the shelf.

"Thanks," she breathed. Even though they'd been dating for four years, she still sometimes got flustered around him.

"No problem," he replied before kissing her on the forehead; a grin spreading across his face.

Aria pecked him on the cheek and then he went to go sit down on the couch. She filled a large pot with water to cook the pasta in. While the water boiled, she mixed up the ingredients for the cheese sauce. Once the macaroni was cooked and the cheese sauce was done, she combined them in a glass casserole dish which she put in the oven.

"It should be ready in half an hour," she spoke to Ezra as she sat down on the couch beside him; crossing her legs beneath her. Ezra smiled down at her as he looped his arm around her, his hand settling on her shoulder. He draped his other arm across his lap, his hand resting on Aria's inner thigh. Aria snuggled into him, placing one of her hands above the hand on her thigh. She sighed; happy. This was her favorite time of the day. After dinner he would have to grade papers and she would have to finish her own paper, but now they could just be together.

Aria turned her body to face Ezra and glanced up at him; biting her lip. He looked down at her with a smile. Aria hadn't heard from A, the anonymous texter who had harassed her and her friends, since the four of them had left Rosewood for college. The four girls still spoke, but weren't as close as they had been in high school. Spencer was at Princeton with nearly perfect grades; Emily was at Boston University and was the star of the swim team; and Hanna was at the Fashion Institute of Technology studying her passion. Since Hanna was also in New York City, Aria saw her the most out of the three girls.

Snapping her thoughts away from her high school friends and back to reality, Aria tilted her chin up as Ezra tilted his down. Even though they had kissed thousands of times, Aria felt fireworks each and every time. Her lips pressed against his as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt his arms slide around her waist as he increased the pressure of the kiss. Pulling her down with him, Ezra lay down on the couch. Aria positioned herself above him as she felt his tongue slide into her mouth. His arms moved across her back as she melted into his arms. Next thing she knew, Ezra had flipped Aria so that he was now above her. After continuing the kiss for another couple of minutes, Aria pulled away, out of breath. She pecked Ezra once more before leaning her head back, whispering "I love you" when she pulled away.

Aria closed her eyes as she felt little kisses making their way down her neck. When Ezra reached the spot where her collar bone connected to her neck, he stayed there, knowing how much she liked it. He continued to kiss in the same spot; adding pressure. Aria moaned as Ezra began to suck on the spot. She pulled his lips away from her neck and he gave her a pouty look.

"I don't want you to leave a mark!" she giggled, "I have class tomorrow."

"Fine," Ezra sighed as his lips returned to hers.

The two resumed kissing and Aria felt butterflies in her stomach. It amazed her how he still made her feel like this. Aria pushed him up, not breaking the contact between their lips. Once they were both on their knees, Aria pulled away as she looked at Ezra, whose breathing was ragged. She pushed him down onto the other side of the couch, connecting her lips to his neck. She kissed down his neck and onto his collar bone. Aria slowly unbuttoned each button of his dress shirt; kissing the spot above each one as she went down. Once she reached the bottom, she pulled the shirt away from his body. Her lips returned to his as he mumbled softly to her.

"I love you, Aria," he mumbled between kisses. "I love you so much."

Aria pulled away from Ezra as she looked into his eyes. "I love you too Ezra," she spoke as his hands fumbled with the bottom of her shirt.

Ezra carefully pulled Aria's shirt over her head as her lips returned to her own. Aria pressed herself as close as she could to him; wanting to feel as close to him as possible. Their lips moved quickly against each others', almost frantically. School was about to break for the holidays, so both Aria and Ezra had been working on schoolwork a lot. They hadn't been able to spend much time together. At least not time like this.

Aria felt Ezra's warm fingers reach down to the button on her jeans and sighed inwardly as he pulled the jeans down her legs. Ezra wrapped his arms around her petite body, loving every second they spent this close to each other. The two kissed feverishly, not wanting to break away from each other.

Suddenly a loud buzzing came from the kitchen. Aria pulled away before speaking.

"That's the macaroni and cheese," she spoke, trying not to pant too much.

"Can't it wait?" Ezra asked desperately.

"No," Aria spoke, "I don't want to eat burned food!"

Aria pecked Ezra on the lips one more time before taking the shirt he was wearing off the floor and pulling it around her. As she walked towards the kitchen, she buttoned the bottom half of them; feeling Ezra's eyes on her as she walked away.

The oven creaked as she pulled it open, retrieving the dish from the rack. When Aria turned around, she saw that Ezra had set the table and had lit a candle between the places. She set down the macaroni and cheese, smirking at him as he sat down.

"I like that look on you," she giggled, looking at her shirtless boyfriend across from her.

"Likewise," he spoke with a grin, placing his hand on her thigh.

I've been wanting to write an Aria/Ezra fic for a while, and I just thought of this idea. I know Malcolm isn't in this chapter, but I just wanted to give you an idea of what Aria and Ezra's relationship is like.

I would love if you guys would review. It gives me inspiration to keep writing.
