I really need to stop writing new stories! I know! I need to finish my olds before starting news but I can't . . . stop . . . writing . . . LOL. But this Idea came to me three days ago and I've been pushing it away but if I don't get it out I'll lose my mind. So here it is . . .
Aria and Ezra have been married for almost ten years and have a daughter together. Both of them are teachers at Hollis College, but what happens when Aria suspects Ezra of cheating on her . . . with one of his students? Please read!
". . . so I'll go to Eden's soccer practice-"
"-And I'll take her to the Parent teacher conference so you can make the meeting-"
"And we'll meet up at Fro-Yo?" Aria finished their mangled conversation.
Ezra smiled, kissing his wife on the forehead before leaving the house, "Sound like a plan. Love you Babe."
"Love you, too." She smiled as he shut the door behind him. Aria glanced at the oven's clock. 7:20. Forty minutes till she had to drop Eden off at school and an hour till she had to be in her own Classroom, teaching Woman's Studies at Hollis. Aria smiled to herself. She was so happy with her life.
She's married the love of her life, Ezra Fitz, nine and half years ago. They'd moved to California for Aria to go to college, but half way through she had gotten pregnant. Yet she completed her time at Argosy University in under five years, and the couple moved back to Rosewood with their beautiful daughter. Fast forward almost five years later and that little girl was now a peppy eight year old attending Rosewood Elementary, and Aria and Ezra were professors at Hollis.
"Mom! Where are my cleats!" Eden ran past her mother in a sweat, her thick, brown, curls shaking around her back.
"Where did you put them?" Aria asked, smoothing out her own skirt as she helped her daughter look. She rolled her eyes at her mom.
Eden had gotten a mix of her parents. One of her eyes were deep blue and the other was a green hazel. In reality, they were beautiful, but Eden thought they made her a freak. "Mommy, if I knew that I wouldn't be asking you!"
Just then Aria caught a shimmer on the other side of the room. The glittery back of Eden's right cleat gave the pair away. "Over here . . ." Aria picked up the shoes and passed them to her daughter, ruffling her hair in the process.
"Mom!" Eden giggled, running back to her room.
"Hurry up, sweetie!" Aria yelled, "We have to leave in about thirty minutes." Just then the house phone rang. Aria didn't recognize the number so she just let it ring. Seconds later, though, she wished she hadn't.
"Ezra? Hey, I'm almost at the school. Wait – oh this is your house phone . . . shi-!" the unfamiliar voice cut off and Aria's stomach lurched. Who was calling her husband? And why would they freak out over calling the house phone. Only cheaters did that-
No. No, Aria was being ridiculous. It was probably just a co-worker. Someone who realized they hadn't called the right number and was worried about wasting time. Right? That had to be it. Still, though, Aria looked at the answering machine, almost frozen where she stood.
"Mommy, I'm ready!" Eden ran up. Aria looked down, her daughter shocking her out of her haze.
"O-okay, honey. Let's go then." Eden smiled and went to grab her back-pack. Aria glanced back at the machine. She let her finger hover slightly over the DELETE button before just tapping it and removing the ominous message. She smiled at her daughter, taking her hand as they left to go to Aria's car.
Six hours later, it was time for Aria to go to Eden's soccer practice. She decided before she left, she would drop by her husband's lecture hall and give him a 'see ya later' kiss.
" 'Sup Mrs. Fitz!" Justin Farren smiled at her, as he walked the direction she was coming from.
"Good afternoon, Justin." She smiled, fighting laughter. Justin, along with several more of the students she taught, had crushed on her. She was flatted, but she also found it very amusing. It wasn't unbelievable. Aria knew she was attractive and she was only twenty seven, but it was just so adorable!
"Hey sweetie I'm just –" she stopped when she realized Ezra wasn't alone. There was a petite blonde girl laughing with Ezra about something. She didn't look older than twenty four and Aria was sure he was a student of his. She had crystal blue eyes and was very pretty.
Ezra looked up to see his wife standing in the door way. He didn't look surprised, and that made her feel better, "Hey baby. Um, Nikki, this is my wife. The other Professor Fitz." He practically dismissed Nikki, giving Aria that smile he only seemed to have for her.
Nikki glanced over at Aria, seeming less than thrilled. "Hi, Professor Fitz."
Aria's heart began to beat quickly. That was the same voice as the girl on the recording's. "Hello, Nicole." Aria said flatly. Nikki waved a goodbye to Ezra and walked out the door.
"Are you okay?" Ezra asked his wife, noticing her nauseous complexion.
She looked over at her husband with slightly watered eyes. She wiled this not to be happening. She had already seen this going on between her father and Meredith. She couldn't go through it herself. She wouldn't. Ezra wasn't a cheater. He loved her. "Yeah . . ." she whispered out shakily. "I was just coming to tell you that I'm going to Eden's practice."
Ezra smiled, walking over to his wife, "Okay. Are you sure your okay. You seem flushed." He brushed her cheek with his thumb. She just smiled, kissing him on the cheek.
"I'm fine. I love you." She sounded like she was in pain! Snap out of it! She thought to herself.
"I love you, too. See you tonight."
Aria nodded, "See you tonight." She walked out of his room, still off. She knew she shouldn't be like this. Ezra would never hurt her, and she knew he loved her and her daughter too much to ever stray. Aria turned the corner to see Nikki on her phone, facing away from Aria.
"-yeah, and she just came in like she owned the place. I don't care if she's his wife, Jess. She won't be for long. Because I'm going to be with him. By the end of this semester, Ezra will be mine."
This may have sucked or it may have been awesome. Either way, please review!
