Ezra getting his new job was the best thing that ever happened to us. The day that I turned eighteen we made our relationship public. It was funny to see the girls act being so surprised about us getting together, even though they weren't surprised at all, they'd know ever since Hanna was in the hospital.
Now we are on a date outside of town, just so we can have peace in no one walking up to us and start talking. It's happened more than once, we don't mind but it's nice to have alone time. We just finished our dinner. We both had a nice big juicy steak.
They just brought out dessert, we are splitting a cheesecake, chocolate. There was chocolate syrup running down the sides with two strawberries on the side. It looked so yummy! I smiled at Ezra, "I am so glad that we are actually able to do this Ezra." I informed him being careful on my wording, fore there was people around us, even if we looked the same age.
He smiled at me feeding my the first bite of the cheesecake, and I fed him the second. "So am I. It feel's great." he said leaning over giving me a kiss on the lips, then put a stray strand of hair on my face behind my ear. "Two years ago I never dreamed of us ever being able to have a public relationship, it was only in my dreams, and now it is a reality. I love you." I informed him, with a smile on my face, looking in his beautiful brown eyes.
His eyes twinkling with joy he took my left hand in his right, then with his free hand he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a little box. I felt tears of joy come into my eyes, "Aria Montgomery, I love you, and I will take care of you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?" he asked opening the little box exposing the ring that is now mine.
The tears gathering I smiled the brightest I have ever smiled, "Yes!" and with me saying the one little word, he put the ring on my left hand third finger. He leaned in and gave me a passionate kiss.
The waitress came to us, "Would you like your check?" she asked us interrupting the biggest moment of my life. She smiled at us knowing the we'd like being alone seeing the tears in my eyes and the ring on my finger.
We paid and walked hand-in-hand to the door. Once we were to the car I looked at him and just smiled and we kissed. "I love you." we said in unison to each other in-between kisses. My hands were in his hair, one of his was on my face, the other was hugging me.
We then saw the time, and decided that it was time to start heading home to tell the family. I wonder how they will handle everything. I mean, to everyone but the girls we've only been together for two months. Well, I guess if their not happy about it, then they don't have to be there, and the wedding will go on with or with out them.
On the ride home we started talking wedding details, "Let's keep it small, only closest friends and family." suggested to him thinking that that would be the best thing in our case.
He took my hand, and glanced at me "What ever you want to do." he told me, his voice filled with love. "All I want is for you to be happy." he added. Isn't he sweet? He glanced at me and gave me a truly genuine smile. One of the many things that I love about his features, his smile, his beautiful smile. It's breathtaking.
He dropped me off at the house and walked me to the door. Emily met us there she was leaving to get a quick dinner. Ever since the four of us moved in together we all eat at crazy times of the night, but when she saw the look on our faces she walked back in in spite of herself seeing the happy look on our faces. We took a seat on the sofa hand in hand.
Spencer walked in looking for the book on the table. "Oh, hi!" she said intrigued, and seeing that we had something to say. That's the thing with us, we can always tell when one of us has something important to say, for good or for bad. We have had experiences with both. "I'll go get Hanna." she said walking back into the hallway. "Hanna!" she called and came back to sit down.
Hanna slowly came in with Caleb, and Toby came in as well with Spencer. It still amazes me that they both got married before I did. We're still in high school. We are eighteen though, I guess that counts for something. Every one took their seats. Having a pretty good idea what is about to be said.
Not wanting to ruin this moment with words I put out my left hand for everyone to see my ring, "We're getting married!" I said only after the girls crowed around my hand to get a better look at my ring. It was truly beautiful. Not too big, but not too small. It was one diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds with a gold band. The perfect ring for me.
"It's beautiful!" they all exclaimed. The looks on there faces were in awe, now there was only Emily to get married, which she swears won't be happening any time soon. I don't see why not, she doesn't know the future, non of us do, but what I do know Ezra and I were made for each other even if we did have to hide our relationship for the first, I'm not going to say little while, because it was for a long time, so I guess long while would be the most appropriate phrase for it.
The night ended too soon, but we had to have an early start in the morning to start working on wedding arrangements. Ezra will be back early in the morning for us to start the planning. Right now I'm sitting on the edge of my bed admiring my ring. I've always imagined getting married but I never thought that the day would ever come and now that is has, I'm honestly relieved!
Hanna and Spencer walked in interrupting my thoughts. "So how does it feel to be engaged?" Spencer asked with a smile on her face. She and Hanna took a seat on either side of me. The three of us in our pajamas, talking about my wedding.
I laughed in spite of myself, "It's feels really good. I think I'm just relieved that we don't have to hide anything anymore." I explained to them. All of our relationship we have had to keep secrets from our friends and family. I'm glad that that has ended. It was really hard on us, the both of us, together.
"Well you better let us be your brides maids." Hanna said with an almost joking tone in her voice. Now I didn't think that I would have to tell them that they are my brides maids, I was theirs, and they are my best friends. I guess that they are just wanting to make sure, just in case. I don't blame them, they asked me.
Hitting Hanna's arm with my elbow I laughed, "I didn't think I had to ask." I informed them as Emily joined us. "And of course you will be a brides maid too Em!" I informed her with a smile of joy and gladness. I am too excited!
