Hey guys. This is, I know, another Ezra\Aria story of mine! This is a bit different but just as edgy, even if there is no A . . . carry on!
Aria smiled in the mirror. The wedding gown Aria's mother had picked out was beyond beautiful, but more importantly it was so Aria! The bodice trimmed to Aria's waist but it cupped around her hips nicely and billowed into multiple layers of white sheath than fell around the soles of her feet.
She was beautiful. Ella hadn't realized how right she was when she flew the dress to Aria in England. The wedding was going to be in two months and one of their loose ends happened to be the dress. From the moment Ezra proposed three weeks after graduation, Aria couldn't believe how supportive Ella and Byron had both been.
Aria had expected them to go Bat Shit crazy, but they were kinda cool. Don't be mislead they weren't jumping for joy, but they knew by the way the two talked about each other they were deeply in love. And they really, really were.
Ezra's family, who lived in England, were taking care of so much stuff for the wedding. Aria was ashamed to admit that she was meeting his parents and brother for the very first time tomorrow. Sure, Aria felt like she knew them from all of Ezra's stories, but it was inconvenient that they were being beyond amazing for her and she'd never even seen a photo. She only knew their names.
His mother's name was Claudia, Aria's least favorite name, his father's name was Jameson, and his brother's name was Dylan. Dylan was 21 and apparently an aspiring artist. Ezra had sworn up and down how great they would get along and she was looking forward to it.
Later that night Ezra and Aria were cuddling on their bed. Aria was still surprisingly nervous. Ezra was whispering to her about how there was no way they could not love her and how she was going to fit like a glove in this family. And even though his arguments were corny and common, they did make her feel better.
The next day . . .
Aria walked hand in hand with Ezra into the dining room of the hotel they were staying at while in England for the wedding. She closed her eyes and breathed in and out. Ezra helped her sit down. "Baby, we went over this. They are going to adore you." Aria swept her hand into her hair. "But what if they don't?" Ezra gave her a small smile, lifting and kissing the hand he hadn't yet let go of.
"Ezra!" A woman's high pitched voice rang out. Aria looked up to see who had yelled it out and saw a woman who must've been Ezra's mother. "Here we go", Ezra whispered. "Mom! Dad!" he cried out pulling them both in and hugging them. Ezra backed up. "Mom, Dad, this is Aria. The love of my life." He held out his hand for her and Aria stood up coming over to Ezra's parents. But before she could say anything, Ezra's mother-a great deal shorter than Aria-ran to Aria and held her tightly. "Oh, Aria! It is so great to finally meet the girl that has made our Ezra so, so happy!" Aria was so overwhelmed.
"Well thank you both so, so much for all that you've set up for the wedding. I feel like I know you both already, Ezra talks about you so much." Aria smiled at Claudia and Jameson, a very quiet man from what Aria could see. Aria could definitely see how the mix of the two had resulted in the very handsome Ezra.
"Not to ruin the happy moment, but where's my brother?" Ezra placed his hand against Aria's waist. "Over here!" a velvet smooth voice crept out. Aria's eyes fell onto Dylan as soon as his met hers. He was definitely attractive and looked like Ezra just younger.
Their eyes lingered over each other till Aria tore her eyes away, astonished. What was she doing. She was standing next to her boyfriend of almost 3 years. But not only her boyfriend, but the supremo love of her life. Aria knew that was true, she was marrying him for god's sakes.
Ezra was the one who shook Dylan. "Dyl! Ah, man, I haven't seen you forever. How are ya pickle?" Ezra pulled in Dylan and rustled his hair, and Aria just laughed. "Dude, I see you are still as mature as you were when you left for America?"Aria noticed Dylan had a slight British accent. Ezra had told me that he and his brother had lived in England since they were two, so Aria wasn't too surprised.
Dylan moved away from Ezra and looked back to Aria. "You must be Aria? Dylan Fitz. Or, Y'know, brother." He laughed and it sent shivers down Aria's body, especially when they hugged. Aria was sure to keep the hug short but not too short.
"Well it's so nice to meet you too Dylan, Ezra's told me so much about you it's just nice to actually see you," Aria stopped trying not to seem to selective, "to see all of you." Dylan smiled, "Ezra she's quite beautiful." Aria was taken by this but Ezra just laughed and said, "Oh, I tell her that everyday!" Aria just smiled at Ezra, holding him closer.
"So shall we get down to planning the wedding?" Claudia asked sweetly. Ezra and Aria complied. After a while Claudia and Jameson asked Ezra to go with them really quickly because they needed to know some things for the groom on the wedding day. Aria and Dylan were left alone.
"So you two have been together for a while?" Dylan asked. "Yes, almost three years." Aria rubbed the back of her neck. Why was she so uncomfortable around him. She wasn't scared of him at all but she couldn't put her finger on it. Dylan smiled, and his smile reminded her of Ezra's just, well, just different.
Dylan and Aria went back and forth, shared stories and laughed and when Ezra got back he and Aria left. They got to the hotel talking about all of the stuff they had relived with the different family members. Aria got into bed next to Ezra, his arms wrapped tightly around her like always. Except for tonight Aria wasn't in an insane amount of bliss because Ezra was holding her, but she was wondering what Dylan's arms would feel like around her.
