No copy right intended the first 6 lines of dialogue are from the show & I do not own the characters, only the storyline.
Shot in Season 3 Episode 9 (The Kahn Game) during Truth.
"This is a party Aria, ask me... how many sexual partners I've had?" Noël smirked staring Aria straight in the eye.
"Just answer the question." Spencer retorted shuffling in her seat. Aria felt happy as hell that she had a friend a long with her, because without Spencer she may just give in to Noël's mindless games.
"She came to a few, she had an open invite," Noël quickly replied leaning forward anticipating his turn to ask Aria something, "Ever had sex with your teacher?" Aria's heart began to pound fast in her chest and she was sure the boy sitting opposite could hear it.
"No I never had sex with my teacher." Aria was quick to answer and Noël knew she was lying. You would be stupid to not know about Aria and Mr. Fitz's relationship.
"How do you know Maya?" Aria asked ignoring Noël's retort.
"Hot new girl, and she likes the ladies and she moves into the DiLaurentis house, everyone knew Maya." Aria could see Noël was telling the truth, but he clearly misinterpreted the question. Never mind, there was more time on the clock for more questions right?
"Here's one, when you came back from Finland or whatever it was, did you truly like me?" Noël had an innocence in his eye and Aria was taken aback. Was Noël really asking if she was into him? She had been into him since, well, seventh grade.
"You mean when we were dating?" Aria asked feeling a cold stare from Jenna.
"You mean you two were a couple?" Eric, Noël's brother, exclaimed.
"Nice!" He high-fived Noël as he nodded in response.
"Of course I did," Aria sighed seeing a smile flirt with the corners of Noël's lips. The soft lips that had once sent butterflies and fireworks in her stomach. She was with Ezra now though, she didn't need to think of the way Noël made her feel.
"I'm going to ask you the same question." Aria decided receiving a sharp nudge from Spencer. Yeah yeah they were playing this to get answers on the Maya thing, but Aria needed some answers of her own.
"What do you mean Montgomery?" Noël asked genuinely confused. Of course he liked Aria, he still did. She was beautiful and caring, most importantly she wasn't like the fake, Rosewood girls that he usually went for. She was Aria.
"Did you go out with me to annoy a certain somebody?" Aria asked staring him straight in the eye. A half-smile fell on to Noël's lips and Aria could feel herself blushing. It was the same look Noël had when ever he was about to kiss her. The world seemed to slow down as Aria waited for an answer. She never realized how much she had doubted Noël's feelings for her, and now she needed an answer.
"Time's up." Eric interrupted the hold Noël had over Aria as he silenced the small timer in his hands.
"You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun." Noël winked at Aria whose cheeks went even pinker. Biting down on his bottom lip, Aria shuddered at how sexy he looked. She wasn't allowed to feel these emotions. She was in love with Ezra. Jumping off the couch she rushed up the stairs, with the craving of fresh air. It was so stuffy in the games room and Aria needed to get as far away from Noël as possible. Otherwise... well she wasn't sure what she would do.
"What was that about?" Spencer exclaimed placing a cold hand on her friend's shoulder. Whipping around to face her Aria noticed the annoyed look dancing on Spencer's face.
"I just had to get some fresh air." Aria said throwing her arms up to represent the open environment around her. Aria knew that Spencer wasn't asking why she was out here, but she didn't need this confrontation right now.
"Well I'm going to finish our job and have a round with Jenna," Spencer shuddered at the thought, "Do you want to meet me down stairs?" Spencer was already turning to walk away, but Aria just wanted to get as far away from the cabin as possible.
"I may just ring Ezra asking for a ride." Aria bid farewell to her friend and wandered to the road where she would be able to see Ezra's car approaching. Taking the phone out of her bag, Aria punched in some numbers, eagerly waiting for Ezra to answer her call. All she needed was to hear his voice and she knew she would instantly forget Noël and focus on who was really important in her life. When Ezra didn't pick up Aria tried calling again, but this time her call went straight to voicemail. Did he turn off his phone after he saw Aria calling? That jerk. Angrily dumping her phone into her bag Aria let out a Humph feeling the cold air brush against her bare skin. She hadn't realized how cold the night was and soon goosebumps covered her skin.
"What are you doing out here? The party's just began." A man exclaimed causing Aria to scream. Turning to face the stranger she saw it was Noël and instantly relaxed.
"You jerk! You gave me a fright." Aria yelled hitting Noël on the chest. Noël laughed it off, her small fists were no match for his solid figure.
"Seriously what are you doing out here? You look freezing!" Noël exclaimed peeling his jacket off.
"I don't need you charity Noël." Aria said refusing the jacket. Noël shook his head and draped the jacket over Aria's fragile shoulders.
"I never answered your question." Noël whispered snaking his arm around Aria's small waist, letting his fingers linger on the small of her back.
"I have liked you Montgomery since you had pink in your hair." Noël had Aria pressed against him and she could feel his warm breath frisking across her jaw. Aria giggled, remembering the huge crush she had on the man she was standing with right now.
"I thought you were into Ali." Aria replied, not buying into Noël's story. Plus what did it matter?
"Didn't you hear? Making a girl jealous is the first step of owning her heart." Noël breathed, pulling Aria closer to his warm body. He could feel the pounding of Aria's heart on his chest and smiled at the quickening pace. Suddenly Aria's phone rang and Aria jumped away from the man whose touch was making her insides quiver. Her screen read Ezra and Aria was grateful for the call and slightly disappointed. A feeling that didn't belong.
"Hay Ezra!" Aria yelled into her phone, trying to peel her eyes away from Noël's. Noël knew his expression read hurt and betrayal, but he couldn't help it. Not that long ago Aria had broken it off with him to continue a relationship with her teacher, and it felt like it was happening all over again.
"Hay babe, are you okay?" Ezra spoke in a weird hurried voice, as if he was trying to hide something. Aria's face creased in worry as Noël turned to walk away. She wanted to call his name, make him stay, but she knew she couldn't. No need to give Ezra something else to worry about.
"I-I'm fine, I was just wondering if I could get a ride?" Aria finally asked hoping that the man she loved would say no. She kinda wanted to chase after another man. Why was she thinking these thoughts? Aria shook them out of her head and focused on who was really important in her life. Ezra.
"I'm actually at dinner with a job offer on the table, maybe you could ask Wes for a ride?" Ezra's words worried her. He hadn't mentioned anything about any job offers this afternoon, only that he was having a quiet night in. Most likely ordering Chinese and watching bad movies, not fancy dinners.
"Um it's fine, I couldn't ask him to do that." Aria replied nervously fiddling with the strap of her bag.
"I'll give him a text now." Ezra said abruptly hanging up the phone.
"Love you too." Aria sighed brushing a hand through her thick hair. Things had been a little tense with Ezra recently. Ever since his mom came, ever since his little secret about Maggie came out. Ezra just needed to call her, see if she was fine and then he would be back to normal. Hopefully. She soon got a text from Wes asking where she was and Aria frustratedly replied. Sitting down on the cold pavement she waited for Ezra's brothers car, trying desperately to rid any thoughts of Noël from her mind. A task that shouldn't have been hard.
So I hope you guys liked it and as you can tell I ship Noël and Aria so yeah. Read and Review! I would love to know what you guys think and whether or not I should continue (:
