I stood infront of my vanity, inspecting my appearance for the tenth time this morning. I needed to look perfect, for today my sister Jackie was returning home from Italy with her new Fiancé.
We Montgomery's hadnt had the pleasure of meeting the new boyfriend yet. Apparently his name was Ezra something. Wasnt Ezra a girls name? Anyway, my sister always outshone me with her skinny, leggy figure and flawless cheekbones, whilst I was the chubby, short gothic younger sister. Not anymore though. During my year abroad in Iceland with my grandparents, I underwent a major transistion from goth chick to urban chic. I still held onto my quirckiness and still stood out from the crowd, only no longer like a sore thumb. I was skinny now, had flawless skin thanks to Proactiv and my once pink streaked chestnut coloured hair was pink free. I was beautiful and had the confidence to no longer let my sister outshine me. Today was going to be a good day. I was sure of it.
My parents had given me the pleasure of picking the love birds up from the airport, much to my dismay. It wasn't too bad though, I loved aiports. They always held so many stories, from the daddy's returning home from Afganistan to couples sharing a final goodbye kiss. Yes, I loved watching the hustle and bussle whilst making up these stories in my head. I was in the midle of watching a little girl jump into her daddy's arms when a voice interupted me from my thoughts. Yes it was the same whiny voice I hadn't missed for a year.
"Aria?" Fake smile time Aria. Fake smile.
"Sis! Hi" I proclaimed with the best acting ive done since my 10th grade performance in 'The Bad Seed'.
"Oh my God! What happened to you?" Jackie replied whilst eyeing me up and down.
"Just a few changes here and there. You havent changed a bit though." Unfortunately, I said said to myself. "So, wheres this Fiancé of yours?"
"Oh yeah," Jackie replied. "Aria this is Ezra Fitz, Ezra this is Aria," she said gesturing behind me. I turned around to see the hottest guy I have ever seen before. He had dark messy curly hair, piercing blue eyes and the most gorgeous juicy lips. Not that I was looking at them or anything.
"Hello Aria," said his deep, sexy voice whilst gesturing a hand towards me. Suddenly his name no longer sounded girly but incredibly sexy!
"Hi Ezra" I replied as seductively as possibly, with a sexy grin. I shook his hand and suddenly a jolt of electricity shot through me. I'm pretty sure he felt it too, due to his sudden hesitation when we touched.
"Okay. So shall we get going?" said Jackie, interrupting the moment.
"Yeah, sure." replied Ezra in a somewhat flustered manner, whilst rubbing the back of his neck.
The thee of is made our way to the car and loaded the suitcases into the trunk. I sat in the divers seat, Jackie in the back and Ezra in the passengers. We started the forty five minute journey back from the city to Rosewood.
The first fifteen minutes were spent with Jackie complaining about how dull the states were compared to Italy whilst Ezra and I nodded along compeletely ingnoring her rant. Suddenly my favourite song came on, Happiness by The Fray.
"God, I love this song." I said.
"Me too," replied Ezra with a smile whilst locking eyes with me. Thank God for traffic lights. They gave me a chance to stare into those blue pools.
"You do?" asked Jackie, shaking us from their gaze. "I don't ever remember you listening to it.
"He probably hasn't gotten the chance over you and your GaGa," I said with a slight chuckle. Ezra laughed too and simply nodded at me as he mouthed YES. He had such an amazing laugh. It made my stomach flutter.
The rest of the trip was spent making small talk amongst ourselves. As I pulled into the drive way, mom and dad were waiting by the door. We all got out as Jackie ran to our parents and they enveloped her in hugs and kisses, much like they did to me a few weeks ago when I returned home from Iceland. They never favourited me or Jackie, but somehow I always felt inferior to her.
"You all right over there?" asked Ezra softly whilst lugging one of Jackie's many suitcases.
"Hmm? Oh yeah I'm fine," I replied with a smile. I helped with the rest of the luggage but I couldn't help sneaking glances at his biceps, there were so toned and muscular. I wanted him so badly. This was going to be a challenge. But it's one I'm willing to fight if it means I'll get Ezra.
