Dinner With The Montgomery's

Ezra's POV

"Hey babe!" Aria called, entering my tiny apartment. She handed me my cup of coffee and a took sip of hers. "Hey," I replied. I put down my coffee and pulled Aria in for a kiss. Aria and I had been together for about 7 months. Rosewood was aware of our relationship, however did not approve. Aria's parents did not approve either but as Aria says "they are warming to the idea as seeing us as a couple."

"So...guess what?" Aria started. "My parents are inviting you over for dinner."

"What?" I gasped. "Dinner with your parents!" Aria and I had never been together in front of her parents, due to the awkwardness and the constipated looks Byron would shoot at us. Why did her parents suddenly want to have dinner together?

"Yes," Aria replied. "They say that they want to see us together as a couple. Or at least that is what they told me."

"So, I'm guessing I have to go." I stated. This dinner was going to be more than awkward.

"Come on babe! It won't be that bad!" Aria tried to reassure me but it did not help. What if the Montgomery's had another reason to invite us. What if they were going to poison the food? Or worse, break us up?

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. Just hide all the knives, sharp objects and make sure the food is not poisoned."

Aria giggled. "Yeah I will go up to my dad and be like, "hey daddy! Me and my very sexy boyfriend who I have had sex with thinks you are a murderer so please put away the knives!"

I chuckled. "Then he will forget about the knives and go straight for the gun!" We laughed for a couple more minutes and finished our coffee.

Aria's POV

I had just come out of my shower and I opened my wardrobe to choose an outfit. I settled for a black dress that ended a few inches above my knee and hugged my petite body. I curled my hair and applied some makeup. I flashed a smile at the mirror before meeting my parents in the dining room.

"Aria! That dress is totally inappropriate. Go change right now!" My dad, Byron Montgomery yelled, putting down his glass of wine. His face was bright red with anger and his hands were clenched into fists.

"What? No way! I have worn this to school and in front of Ezra." I stated. Byron's angry expression disappeared and was replaced with a constipated one because I had mentioned Ezra.

"Aria come with me!" My mom, Ella Montgomery exclaimed. Before I had the time to reply, she forcefully grabbed my hand and dragged me into her room. She rummaged through her closet before pulling out a dress. The dress was pink in color and had bows stuck all over it. All in all, it looked like something a 4 year old girl would wear to her birthday party.

"What the fuck is this?" I asked, unsure why my mom was showing me this dress and mad that she had screamed at me.

"Do not use that language with me, young lady!" Ella yelled. "And by the way, this is the dress that you will be wearing tonight." She smirked when she saw the shocked expression on my face. What? My mom was going to force me to wear a dress that made me look like a baby in front of my older, more mature boyfriend? Why was she doing this to me?

"No!" I declared, crossing my arms. "I'm not a baby. I can wear whatever I want to wear."

"As long as you live in my house, you will follow my rules. Now put on the dress!" Ella demanded. She tossed the dress to me and sauntered out of the room, leaving me with a dropped jaw and a hideous dress.

I glared at the dress in my arms, before finally deciding to put it on. I looked at my reflection in my mirror and almost passed out. The dress ended a few inches below my knees and it's thick material covered almost all the signs that I had boobs. To make it worse, almost every inch of the dress was covered with tiny bows. If I did not look like a child due to my height, I definitely did now.

Within a few minutes the ring of the doorbell echoed through the house. "I'll get it!" I called. I shot the mirror one last glare before rushing to the door. In front of me was supposed to be the one and only love of my life, Ezra Fitz. But instead, I was facing a blond woman in her mid 20's.

"Hello Aria," She smiled at me. Who was she? What was she doing here? How the hell did she know my name. "I'm Harriet, your mom's friend. I'm supposed to be having dinner here." She shot me another smile before pushing me aside and barging into the house.

What the fuck is happening?! First my mom makes we wear something I cannot even call a dress, then some size 0 blonde bitch shows up at my door! What will happen next? I turned around to see my mom hugging Harriet and Mike laying the dinner table. Why was Harriet coming over for dinner? This was supposed to be dinner with my boyfriend only!

I heard the doorbell ring again and this time, it was Ezra. "Hey babe," I greeted.

"Hey," he replied. "What are you wearing?"

"Um," I started, as a blush crept up my cheeks. "My mom forced me to wear it."

He smiled but I knew he thought the dress was ugly. I led him into the house and he had barely stepped in when Harriet pulled him into a hug. Why was the Bitch hugging MY man? "Hey, I'm Harriet!" She cheerfully greeted.

"Hi," Ezra replied politely. His eyes roamed her body, taking in her shiny hair and size 0 figure. It was obvious that Harriet was prettier than me, and unluckily, Ezra had realized it.

"Hello Ezra," I heard Byron and Ella greet politely. "Come take a seat." They led Ezra to the table and made him sit next to Harriet. I sat next to Mike and my parents sat together. It was then, when I realized it. This was a setup. My parents never wanted to see Ezra and I as a couple. They wanted to see Ezra and Harriet as a couple!
