There might be a few of these out there, but I could not let this go. I absolutely cannot wait for season 3. And after that promo… Ezria's love is gonna be the death of me.

I spent literally like an hour debating whether to make this rated T or M. There is going to be some M content but I'll make it very clear before that happens in case you don't want to read it and it won't be until the next chapter. I just didn't want to put up two versions of the same fic with different ratings. This is probably going to be a two shot. Then again, you guys know me by now, my one shots end up as thirty chapters stories… cough cough late nights cough.

Ezria are just so perfect.

Ezra's POV

I knew I was asking for trouble as I stood in front of the Montgomery house, but I didn't have a choice. Today was my one-year anniversary with Aria and there was no way I wasn't going to see her today. No matter what her parents said.

Aria had no idea what I was back in Rosewood; let alone what I was planning for today. When I had told her that I might not be able to come back to Rosewood for Labor Day weekend, I could clearly hear the disappointment laced throughout her voice that she tried so desperately to hide. I promised that I would plan a special weekend for us when I was free. Little did she know, lying to her about it had all been part of my plan to surprise her.

I took a deep breath as I finally rang the doorbell. A moment later, Ella opened the door.

"Ezra? What are you doing here?" She asked curiously.

"I wanted to take Aria out today. Would that be okay?" I asked cautiously, unsure of how she would react. Although Ella was mostly accepting of my relationship with Aria, I knew that it did not hurt to be too careful.

"Any particular reason why?"

I couldn't help but smile. "Today marks our one year anniversary."

"Wow, to think the two of you have been together this long…" Ella trailed off.

"I know. Neither of us ever would have imagined it." I said.

"What do you mean?" Ella narrowed her eyes at me.

"Ella, we've been through everything and we're still together."

Ella smiled at me before replying. "She's right upstairs."

I headed towards the stairs but Ella stopped me. "Make sure she's home by midnight. She's still a teenager, Ezra." Ella reminded me.

"Of course." I assured her.

I headed up the stairs and stopped outside Aria's room. I knocked lightly before opening the door.

"Oh my God, what are you doing here?" I heard a voice exclaim.

Aria threw her arms around my neck as I embraced her tightly.

"Happy anniversary love." I whispered in her ear.

She leaned back to look at me before crushing her lips against mine. She tightened her arms around my neck as I wrapped my arms around her back, pressing her closer against me. We parted a moment later, remembering that her mother was right downstairs.

"Ready to go?" I asked.

Aria walked over to her dresser and grabbed her purse. "Where?"

"That's for me to know, and you to find out." I smiled.

I took her hand in mine as we walked down the stairs and towards the front door.

"No later than midnight, Ezra!" Ella reminded me from the kitchen.

Aria shook her head in annoyance as she pulled me out the door.

"Can you please tell me where we're going?" Aria asked, five minutes later.

I remained silent for a moment as I pulled into the near vacant parking lot.

"I through we could recreate the date." I smiled proudly.

"I wouldn't call it a date…" Aria said wearily, as she realized where we were. "We ended the night in the bathroom."

"Hey," I said playfully. "We've made some good memories here!"

"You're right." She smiled. "Let's go."

I followed her inside as we sat down at a booth together.

Aria's POV

"Everyday while you were my teacher, I couldn't wait until we could do this." I closed my eyes in bliss at finally getting what we had been wanting for so long. "Sitting across from you in public and no one saying a word."

"Trust me, I know the feeling." He laughed.

As I looked around the pub, I could not help but smile as I spotted the woman's bathroom on the other side of the room.

"You know…" I began as I took his hand in mine from across the table.

"Hmm?" Ezra asked languidly, looking at me intently.

My eyes flickered over to the other side of the pub. "If we're going to recreate the date, I think there's a few more events that need to happen."

"Is that so?" Ezra brushed his leg against mine under the table.

I tried my hardest to stop the blush that was forming on my cheeks from his touch and my boldness.

"If I remember correctly…" I bit my bottom lip, my eyes never leaving his.

"You do realize that means you won't be getting your cheeseburger, right?" He raised an eyebrow at me.

I deliberately licked my lips before responding. "I think what I got last time was a lot better than a cheeseburger."

"I'd have to agree." Ezra said huskily.

Two minutes later, he had hoisted me up onto the counter in the girls' bathroom.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought his face to mine. Our lips met in heated kiss, filled with all the passion that had been building up since we had arrived here.

Ezra tore his lips away from mine for a moment. "You're still tiny enough to fit up here perfectly."

"Hey, it wouldn't be recreating the date now, if I couldn't, right?"

Ezra kissed me quickly before replying. "Right."

Our lips met again with a heated intensity as I felt Ezra's hand slowly begin to trail up my leg. I tangled my fingers in his hair as he slid his tongue into my mouth. Our tongues caressed each other for a moment before beginning to hungrily explore each other's mouths. I could not help the moan that escaped my lips as I pulled him even closer to me, wanting to feel more of him. His hand caressed the inside of my thigh as I kissed him harder and deeper.

…PLL…

We had driven back to his apartment with four hours to kill before he would have to take me home. We had settled on our nightly tradition of a random movie as we cuddled up together on the couch.

My head was resting on his chest as Ezra gently stroked his fingers through my hair. His other arm was wrapped around my waist, holding me close to him.

I still had not told him about everything that had happened with Mona and A, months ago. He knew something had happened, hell, all of Rosewood knew, but he didn't know the whole story, let alone anything about A.

It wasn't that I didn't trust him; I did, completely. It just scared me not knowing what Mona would do once she found out I had told him about A.

"Ezra..." I whispered, my mind racing like crazy. I knew I had to tell him; I just had no idea how he would react. Especially since I had been keeping something like this from him for so long.

I looked up from the movie playing on the screen. Ezra noticed my sudden change in demeanor and looked at me with a puzzled expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Ezra brushed a piece of hair away from my eyes and tucked it behind my ear.

I shook my head and took a deep breath, trying to figure out a way to explain what I wanted to tell him with the right words.

I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. Ezra was obviously able to see the fear in my eyes because he grabbed the remote beside us and muted the movie.

"Aria?" He pulled me closer to him and ran his fingers delicately through my hair in a comforting manner.

"I know... You've been waiting for me to explain everything that happened with Mona..." I paused as I took a deep breath, trying to control my emotions.

He shook his head as he gently rubbed my cheek with the pad of his thumb. "You don't have to tell me if you're not ready or if you don't want to. It's ok." He assured me.

"No." I shook my head. "I have to."

I felt my eyes welling up with tears as all the memories of the living hell my life had been while Mona had been torturing us.

"I've been keeping this from you for so long..."

Ezra watched me, patiently waiting for me to continue.

I blinked back the tears that were forming in my eyes as I struggled to find the courage to speak. "Ezra..." I whispered again, brokenly. As our eyes locked together, neither one of us dared to break the intense gaze we were sharing.

"For the past year, Mona's been..." I took a deep breath, trying to steady my ragged breath but failing.

The tears that had been building in my eyes finally spilled over and cascaded down my cheeks.

"It's ok, Aria. Whatever happened is over. It's all over now." He began to rub my back soothingly.

"Mona was stalking me and my friends. She made us do things to hurt each other and the people we loved..."

Ezra furrowed his eyebrows in confusion but quickly hid his look of curiosity, clearly knowing it would be better not to ask for details.

"She was the most cruel to Hanna, for obvious reasons; she hit her with a damn car! And she told my mom about my dad's affair, she told Emily's parents that Emily was gay..." I trailed off, afraid of how Ezra would react to the last piece of information I had.

I closed my eyes in fear at his reaction before speaking again. "She knew about us too. She threatened me a few times about spilling our secret."

Ezra remained silent for a moment, probably in shock, before he asked in a weak voice, "How?"

"A knows everything." I said simply, as another tear slid down my face.

Hope you guys enjoyed this so far, I promise to update soon!
