Author's note: There is no A in this story. The whole Dilaurentis family doesn't exist either. It's currently summer vacation. Aria did not move to Iceland with her family. Happy reading!
It was a warm summer evening in Rosewood. Aria was outside the movie theater waiting for her date to arrive. She was wearing a beautiful red with black lace dress and black pumps. In one hand she was holding a black clutch that matched her outfit perfectly. In the other she was holding two tickets to the movie "It happened one night". It was one of Aria's favorite movies, so when Noel had called her up and asked her to go out on a date, she suggested to go see it.
Aria stood there waiting, while she watched other people go into the movie theater. She took her cell phone out of her purse to see if maybe Noel had called or send a text that he would be late, but nothing. About five minutes before the movie was about to start, she decided to just accept the fact that Noel wasn't coming and that she should just go home.
Just as she was about to head for her car, she saw a very attractive man going up to the ticket booth.
"One ticket for "It happened one night", please?", the man asked the woman in the booth. "Oh, I'm sorry sir, that movie is sold out", the woman replied. The man thanked the woman anyway and was about to leave when something impulsive came over Aria and she yelled "Excuse me!". The man turned to face Aria and walked towards her. Oh boy, this guy was even more handsome up close!
When he reached her, he smiled and said, "Yes?". Aria stood there a couple seconds just staring at him. He had the most unbelievable blue eyes she had ever seen! Realizing she was staring just a bit too long, she quickly snapped out of it and said, "If you want, you can have my tickets. I won't be needing them anymore". Before he could say anything, Aria shoved the tickets in his hands, smiled and turned around to walk away.
"Wait!", Aria heard the man say, and she turned around to face him again. "At least let me pay you back", he continued. A bit disappointed that those were his next words, she faintly smiled and said, "That's okay. You just enjoy the movie". "Perhaps you'd like to join me then?", he asked quickly before she was about to turn around again. Aria blushed and smiled at the man, but her smile faded fast when she realized that she was supposed to be going to the movies with Noel. Noel, who had stood her up for their first date ever. The man looked at Aria and instantly realized what was going on. "Stupid boy if you ask me. But uhh, his loss, my gain?", he asked with a hint of uncertainty in his voice as he said those last words. Aria looked up into his eyes and smiled sweetly.
"I'm Aria", she said as she held out her hand to shake his. Clearly amused by her gesture, he shook her hand whilst saying, "I'm Ezra. And might I say, Aria, you look absolutely lovely". Aria smiled, "Why, thank you! You don't look so bad yourself", she said jokingly. Ezra laughed and said, "Well, okay then, shall we go inside?", whilst holding out his hand for her to take it. Aria moved her hand to place it in his, when she quickly pulled it away again before placing it fully in his. Ezra saw the questioning look on her face and asked her what was wrong. Aria looked up into his eyes and said, "Well, I was thinking… I don't know anything about you, except for your first name. So I'm thinking maybe we shouldn't go into that movie theater". Ezra looked confused and hurt at the same thing and asked, "Isn't that exactly the reason why we should go into that movie theater? So we could get to know each other?". Aria smiled at Ezra like she was keeping a really juicy secret. "I never said we shouldn't get to know each other, I was just simply suggesting we do it somewhere else", Aria said in a flirty tone. "Somewhere more quiet, more private", Aria continued. Ezra stood there with his mouth open, but Aria could tell he was certainly considering it or at least thinking about something very intensively. With the same expression on his face Ezra started to slowly close his mouth and then licked his upper lip. Staring into the distance, he uttered the words "okay" and then looked back into Aria's beautiful hazel eyes and said, "So where exactly did you have in mind?".
Ezra kind of knew what she was about to suggest, but he didn't want to suggest it himself. If he guessed wrong, he might blow it with this girl altogether, and he didn't want that. For some reason this girl really spoke to him…even though they had just met and knew nothing about each other.
Ezra was sure that if he were to get to know Aria better, he'd like her even more. Aria was definitely…different…from the girls he usually dated. And for some reason she was coming on very strong, which he didn't seem to mind at all.
Aria smiled sweetly, brushed a piece of Ezra's hair out of his face and said, "How about your apartment?".
