A/N Hey there guys! So, I've been AWHOL for awhile, but I'm back and motivated. You can expect an update to both this story and Honesty Time (if you've read it) pretty soon. So, this idea came to me when I realized how much I missed Jason and wanted to talk about him again. Oh how I love him. The pairing is still undetermined because I also really like Jake. Damn Aria's impeccable taste in men, huh?

Haha, anyway, enjoy please! :)

Title: An Unexpected House Guest

Author: XRoseX13

Catagory: TV Shows- Pretty Little Liars

Summary: Jason comes back to town and ends up staying with Aria, but how do the rest of the liars feel and what will come of this?

I grabbed my coffee off the counter of the Brew and turned to leave.

beepbeep

I looked down at my phone as I walked out the door. A smile spread across my face when I saw Jake's name.

Can't wait for tonight:) It said.

I quickly texted back, Me either :)

"Good news?" I heard a familiar voice say. My head shot up and I was staring into the eyes of the one and only, Jason Dilaurentis.

"Jason!" I said, happy and surprised to see him. "Hey. When did you get back?"

"Yesterday." He said, smiling.

"Are you staying with your mom?" I asked as we started walking down the sidewalk.

"No, I'm staying at a hotel for the time being. Mom and I aren't really on the best terms." He said, squinting his eyes against the sunlight.

"I'm sorry to hear that." I said, bringing my cup to my lips.

He chuckled a bit. "Don't be."

"Jason, are you sure a hotel is the safest place for you? I mean, as far as we know, A is still after you." I said quietly, gently pulling his arm and leading him to a bench.

"Yeah, but I couldn't stay in hiding any more. It didn't feel right."

"What do you mean?" I asked, taking another sip. "Whatever keeps you safe is right."

"I'm glad you feel that way." He said, smiling at me. "But it wasn't right for me to leave. You were still here in A's crosshairs. I had to make sure you were doing okay." He looked at me seriously and reache for my hand. He held it for a moment and then pulled back. "All of you." He recovered.

I gave him a small smile. "Jason-" I began

"No, Aria, it's okay. I understand that you're in a relationship. I'm not trying to disrespect that. I'm just worried about you is all."

I didn't say anything for a moment, not knowing how to tell him that Ezra wasn't the guy I was with.

"Jason, you should come stay at my house." I blurted before I even knew what I was saying. "A hotel is hardly my idea of safety. You deserve better." I stood up, firm in my idea.

"Are you sure?" He asked, standing with me.

"Of course." I said. "Let's go." We started walking to my house. "But there's something you should know." I started. I didn't want to hurt Jason, especially not after he came back to see me, risking his own safety. I looked up at him and frowned, thinking about how different things would be if he never left. Jake and I never would have happened. "I'm not with Ezra anymore. Life happened, and we split up. I'm seeing someone else now." I finished, not looking at him anymore.

"You don't owe me any explaination, if that's what you're thinking." He said after a moment of silence. He was looking straight ahead and his voice had no emotion in it. "I'm happy for you, Aria."

I don't know what I was expecting him to say, but that wasn't it. Or maybe it was. Jason was a good guy, so it's not like I expected much else, I guess.

"Thank you." I said.

"Is he going to be okay with me staying with you?" He asked.

"His name is Jake, and whether or not he is, you are, so don't try to get out of it." I said jokingly.

"I would never do such a thing." He said in mock offense.

"Mm-hmm." I said. We got to my house and I pulled out my keys to unlock the oor.

"Mike!" I yelled when we got inside. "Mike!" After a few moments passed with no response, I turned to Jason. "He must be out. Come on, I'll show you where you'll be staying."

He followed me up the stairs and down the hallway. "Mike's room." I said, pointing to the left side. "My room." I said, pointing to the right. "Dad's is at the end of the hall. You'll be here." We walked to the room next to mine. "There's the bathroom." I said pointing to the door on the other side of the hallway.

"Aria, are you sure you don't want to talk to your dad before we do this?" He asked looking down at me.

I leaned against his new bedroom door. "Dad is away at a convention for the rest of the week and Mike is hardly home anyway. It'll be fine. It'll be nice having someone around. But, if you're saying that because you're hoping that I'll change my mind and you don't want to stay here, that's fine, just say so." I said, realizing I'd been pushing this on him.

"No, I'm glad you offered. I just don't want to burden you." He said seriously.

I put my hand on his arm. "Never." I smiled. "I'm going out tonight, so I need to get ready, but if you want to run and check out of your hotel, I'll leave the doors unlocked."

"Okay, thank you." He reached down to hug me and I wrapped my arms around him. Something about it felt so familiar. I pulled away after a moment and gave him a smile. I turned and went to my room, shutting the door behind me.

I came out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body and hour later. The steam was killing me so I opened the door to let some cool air in. I sighed as it hit my skin. After drying off, I wrapped back up in my towel and stepped out of the bathroom and into Jason.

"Oh" He said, as he dropped on of his bags.

"Jason!" I said gasping. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." He said, looking meup and down.

"I'm. . uh. . .gonna go and get dressed." I chuckled nervously, thanking god that my towel stayed on as I walked to my room at a faster than normal speed.

Once safely inside my walls, I slammed my palm to my forehead and thought about ways to avoid Jason until the redness in my cheeks disappeared, which would probably be in about a week.

I got dressed and did my hair and makeup in record time. Jake would be here any minute. I grabbed my purse, slipped on some boots, and headed downstairs, praying Jason was firmly planted in the guest room.

"Aria, you look. . . stunning." He gasped when I reached the bottom step. No such luck on not seeing him, but hey, I didn't mind the compliments.

"Thanks." I said smiling.

"I'm sorry about earlier." He said.

"No, don't be. It's fine. Not like I was naked or anything." I chuckeled, trying to play it cool.

He nodded and turned back to look at the TV

I reached into my purse to grab my phone and realized I left it upstairs. I turned to go get it and smiled as I saw how comfortable Jason looked in my house. It made me happy to think of him here. I was tired of spending all my time here by myself. It would be nice to have company for a change. When I got my phone, I saw a text. I opened it and scowled.

Hmm, two targets, one house. Almost two easy.-A

I went downstairs trying to look normal so I didn't alarm Jason. I planned on telling him sometime, just not right when he got here and got comfortable. My cool facade was lost when I saw Jake standing in the doorway talking to Jason.

"Hey." I said smiling when I reached the bottom of the stairs.

"You look great." He said kissing my cheek.

"Thank you. I see you've met Jason."

He nodded.

No one spoke for a few moments.

"You two have a good time." Jason said, thankfully breaking the silence.

"I'll see you later, Jason. Make yourself at home. Eat whatever you want if you get hungry." I smiled and grabbed Jake's hand, walking to his car. I looked back and couldn't help but notice Jason's hurt face as he shut the door behind us.

A/N And as always, I love love love reviews!
