Weeks have gone by and Aria still awaited the call from Ezra. She became inpatient, and was starting to give up on them when two weeks went by with no calls or texts. She spent almost every second trying to make her new room perfect considering she would be spending a lot of time in there.
Why do I even try? She asked herself every morning before getting out of bed. Aria was starting to fade away from life, deciding she would spend her freshman year in college studying. Not worrying about making friends, getting involved in drama, and most importantly one-time-bar-jerks like Ezra. She wouldn't have a boy trick her heart again. It had been broken so many times she forgot what love even felt like anymore. Did love even exist? It had to, that night with Ezra she had never felt so jittery and anxious. He made her feel the way no other guy had before.He must of not felt the same way, and she hated him for that. It made her angry just hearing the sound of his name. How could he steal her heart so quickly and break it so easily?
Aria finally was done thinking about Ezra, for about the hundredth time, and built pup enough energy to get out of bed. She sat up in bed staring out the window where the sun beamed through and filled her room with light. The smell of paint was still in the air from when she painted her room a dark violet a couple days before. Her room was now decorated, her dark brown dresser sat in the center of the wall with lotions, perfumes and makeup on it. Her desk was in the far corner of the room with her small laptop in the center of it. She had a comfy chair, a rug and some pictures hanging on he wall to tie it all together. Aria looked around, proud of the work she had managed to do these last few days. She wanted to be an interior designer but her mom refused to let her get a degree in design so she went for English instead.
Aria slowly got dressed and didn't bother to put on make up, she had no one to impress and didn't care what people thought of her at the moment. She walked downstairs hoping there would be a nice breakfast awaiting her but instead she found a note sitting on the kitchen table: Aria, I will be working late tonight so can you take Mike to lacrosse practice at four. -Thanks, xoxo mom
Aria searched the kitchen for anything to eat for breakfast and found nothing. Assuming Mike was still asleep she decided to go to a nearby Starbucks up the street. She grabbed her keys and headed for her new car.
After about a five minute drive she pulled up in the small Starbucks parking lot. She walked in noticing two people were waiting in line so she studied the menu deciding she would try something new. Aria hadn't realized how hard she had been concentrating on the menu until a familiar voice spoke up, "I'd go for the espresso you look like you haven't slept in days." Aria looked up to see Ezra behind the counter, she had to admit he looked cute in his Starbucks work clothes but she promised herself she wouldn't give in. "Not you." she said rolling her eyes and started quickly walking to the door. She was in the middle of the parking lot, a few feet from her car, when she felt a warm hand grip her wrist truing to stop her. "Aria wait, let me explain" Ezra begged. "There is no need to explain Ezra. You have already proved that you're a jerk before I even started dating you. That shows a lot." she snapped. "How could you make a girl feel the way you made me feel and not even try to contact her? I thought we might of had something real. I thought maybe for once in my life, just once, something would go right! You're such an asshole Ezra so don't even try to apologize." It felt good getting this off her chest and she surprisingly didn't care that that came out much harsher than expected.
Aria jerked her arm away from his grasp and entered the drivers seat of her car. She quickly jerked in her keys and started the car but before she could pull away Ezra was already sitting in the passengers seat. "Aria, please…. Please don't yell…." his voice was soft. "You're right. I'm such an idiot, I know this is a stupid explanation but I honestly was afraid to call you. I didn't know what to say and I was afraid you might be dating someone already or…" he took a deep breath. "Or that you didn't feel the same way that I felt about you." Aria looked down in her lap not wanting Ezra to see her tears slowly sliding down her face. They both sat there in science for a minute. "Aria, look at me" Ezra spoke up. "No." He reached his hand over and gently lifted up her chin so she was looking at him. He wiped her tears away with his thumbs and gently cupped her face with both hands. "I'm so sorry Aria, I feel like a total idiot screwing up our relationship so quickly. I really want to be with you, I have never been so desperate for someone. I thought about you every second these past weeks."
Aria put her hand on top of his, which was still holding her face, and rubbed her thumb on his. Oh no, am I giving in? she thought to herself. Only he had the power to change mood from furious at him one second to wanting to kiss him the next. She hated this but it also touched her how he was able to calm her so easily. They stared lovingly into each others eyes for a few minutes, taking each other in.
"Aria…" Ezra said in almost a whisper, "Say something"…. "No" she replied trying not to show the small smile appearing on her face. Seeing her smile made Ezra start to smile and soon enough Aria had enough being mad at him. All the thoughts she had earlier were washed away, she loved him. She dove into his lips not being able to resist him anymore. Ezra was taken aback when her soft lips met his, but he soon closed his eyes. They became more passionate for each other every second. Ezra's tongue soon found it's way into Aria's mouth and depend the kiss, pulling her closer to him. Aria pulled away needing to catch her breath. Ezra sat back and admired how beautiful she was. "What are you staring at?" she asked. "You're beautiful… and I'm so sorry I said you looked like you haven't slept in days, I immediately realized how harsh it sounded the second I said it." He looked at her asking for forgiveness. "No, don't apologize you're right. I look awful, I haven't slept. I've been to busy thinking about you." She looked back at him. He leaned in and kissed her then pecked her nose and said "Well then lets go get you that expresso then."
They sat at a table in the small coffee shop and talked for about thirty minutes before Ezra's boss called him to get back to work. "I can't believe you work at Starbucks" Aria said quietly. "And why is that" "Well, I thought only gay guys worked at Starbucks" she replied sarcastically. "Well then I might have to quit because I'm in love with a beautiful girl." Aria leaned in and kissed him. She loved the feeling she got when they kissed. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. "You better get back to work before you really do get fired" her lips brushed against his. He kissed her one last time both smiling into the kiss. Aria pulled away leaving Ezra in the same position, "Now go Ezra" she demanded still smiling. He sighed and pushed himself out of the chair throwing him and Aria's empty cups away before walking her to her car.
"My shift ends in an hour. Can I come to your place when I'm done?" he asked opening the car door for her. "I would love that but I have to take my brother to lacrosse practice at four. But my mom is working late tonight so you can come after that." "Sounds great" he said bending down to give her a good bye kiss before shutting the car door.
