I know I have, my other stories to finish. But a little birdy flew an idea my way and asked me to write this story. So this is for you. Radomcakes.
After spending two years in Iceland, After high school. Aria felt the need to return to rosewood, where everything had started. Alison going missing, A. Garrett and Jenna behind the whole thing.
She missed her friends and her family, but most of all she missed the town. It was always full of gossip and rumors, you were never bored in Rosewood. That's what she missed the most. Although Iceland did have its perks. It still wasn't home.
"I'll miss you grandma" Aria said giving her grandparent's one last hug before getting on that long plane ride back home.
"Make sure you call us, as soon as you get settled." My grandfather told me and released me from his embrace.
"I will, I promise. I love you, both!" I said and waved goodbye, as I handed the guy my luggage.
Iceland, was just to different for me. I thought that was what I needed after everything had happen, in rosewood. But I was wrong, I think the most part of me just wanted a way out. Who would have thought that once I got out, I just wanted to go right back in.
Spencer, Hanna and Emily all attend Hollis College. And even though we Skype, it isn't the same as in person. The feeling to hug your friend when their feeling sad or the hug of an overly excited news. Like when Toby, asked spencer to marry her. And when Emily made top WMVP on the Hollis swim team. Or giving the encouragement to Hanna when she finally meant Caleb's real mom, over spring break freshman year. Or when I broke up with Mark, after being with him for over a year and a half. Because I felt in my heart, that I was just stringing him along. Mark and I weren't connecting, in that soul mate kind of way that I was looking for.
By the time, I got through security and cleared everything out. The flight attendance announced boarding, and I couldn't be more than ecstatic to be heading home. I had told my parents not, to say anything to the girls. I wanted to surprise them... I sat on the plane as, everyone boarded and digged out my Ipod, it was going to be a long flight and I needed something to occupied my time. But it wasn't long before, I had fallen asleep...
I had been a sleep the whole plan ride over. I got off the plane and made my way toward baggage claim, that's where I was meeting my parents. Mike had gone to NYU for college, he was saying something about getting a lacross scolorship... I couldn't be more than proud of him. And he took Noel Kahn with him. they both share a three bedroom apartment, with someother person. Mike didnt really talk about his third room mate. so I just left it at that.
I finally got my luggage and spotted my parents, who quickly embraced me in a hug.
"I've missed you so much Aria" My mom said, Just as my dad pulled me in for a hug...
"I've missed you two, so much" I said and released them.
"How was Reykjavik university? not as good as Hollis I bet?" My dad made a joke.
"Very funny dad" I laughed and he loaded the car.
"I'm happy you'r home Aria" My dad patted my back.
"Me too." I said and hopped in the car.
The ride to the house, was consited of me telling them all about Iceland. And what I did for my two years of college there. Which they already knew because of the skype we did, but my mom said she just missed hearing my voice. God, it's so good to be back home.
"Welcome home Aria." My mom greeted me again as she opened the front door. Everything was still in it's original place. I quickly made it up to my room and just plopped down on the bed, It never felt so good.
"So Aria, meet me at Hollis in a hour." My dad said standing in the doorway.
"Sure dad" I replied and started unpacking. I sent out a few text message's to the girls, and told them I had a surpise and I wanted them to get that surpise at 8, and they should all meant at the grill.
Everyone replied Okay, and asked what it was. But I wasn't going to give it up that easily.
It's a surpise, don't worry you'll like it. I texted back and found something nice to wear.
It wasn't long before I took my mother's car and drove that 20 minutes to Hollis. the campus here was just as I remembered it. All the hussle and bussle of people trying to get to their classes. It's a good thing, my dad works here. The dean wasn't letting any late acceptence, in this year. But my dad had pulled some strings, and I have to work as a TA. JOY and here I thought I was going to have time to study... I finally made it into the hallway and started to walk toward my dad's office. But when I walked in, their was someone else.
"I'm sorry" I said to the man.
"It's not a problem, are you new here?" He asked as he stood from behind his desk and walked over.
That's when I noticed him. He was wearing, a pair of black slacks and a light blue dress shirt, his hair was a mess. But that only made him look more stunning.
"Ms?" He said taking me out of my trans
"I'm sorry, I think I have the wrong office." I said looking at him up and down. "I'm looking for my father Professor Montgomery?"
"Right, he moved his office down the hall. I can take you there if you like?"
"Sure" I agreed
he nodded his head and motion for me to go first which I was happy to do. "So how was Iceland?"
"Excuse me?"
"You'r father talks about you a lot. Aria right? He asked with a boyish smile.
"Yes, and I'm sorry I didn't get you'r name?"
"Ezra Fitz!" he told me and stuck out his hand.
"Aria Montgomery," I said and felt stupid right after. "Iceland was great, but it wasn't home."
He nodded his head " I spent some time in Reykjavik, on my way toward Amsterdam it's a great city."
"Do you teach here?" I asked praying he doesn't
"Actually I just started!" He replied and stopped in the middle of the hallway "This is you'r stop" he motion to my fathers office.
"it was great talking to you" I smiled
"Yeah, You too. Maybe we can do it again sometime, Over coffee?" He asked, and he looked really nervous at the same time.
"Yeah, that would be great." I told him
"Say, tomorrow 11 at the grill?" he gave me a boyish smile.
"Sure, I'll meet you there" I waved and he watched as I entered my dads office.
Ezra's POV:
I was just going over some papers, when this women walks right in. And I looked at her up and down, she was amazing. The way her hair just flowed to her lower back, and her big beautiful hazel eyes looking right at you. She was just breath taking, I couldn't stop staring. To bad she had the wrong office. I just had to talk to her a little more. So I made a coffee date, Well not really a date. But it's something.
I watched as she walked into her fathers office, and closed the door behind her. I stood there for a few more seconds, watching a closed door. Until my cell phone went off. It was my fiance' Jackie.
"Hey honey, how are you?" I said feeling a little stupid, here I have a great Woman. and Not just seconds ago I was looking at another one.
"Hey turn around!" She told me and so I did.
"What are you doing here?" I smiled at her.
"Just had some free time, that's all" She gave me a sweet kiss "So who was that?" Jackie asked motioning to the office door.
"That was Professor Montgomery's daugther, she just got back from Iceland." I told her
"She's cute, Z" I looked at her
"I guess, I didn't really notice." I lied through my ass, she IS beautiful. "Well, I'm sorry you came down here, for nothing. But I actually have a lot of paper work to do. So how about dinner tonight?" I asked, I felt like I was covering up, for something I didn't do.
She looked at me side eyed, and nodded her head "sure sweetie, say about 8 at my place. I'll cook" She gave me a kiss. "I love you"
"You too." I replied and walked into my office and shut the door. "what the hell am I doing? I just meant this girl!"
