" I'm so sorry professor Bing I'm late " Aria rambled as nodded quietly and demanded her to take her seat .
She was looking for her seat hurriedly but soon she stopped as her mouth got opened shockingly as she saw Ezra , he narrowed his eyes Aria cursed under her breath .
" Holy crap " she mumbled as she passed Ezra walked further as she sat down on her seat , this didn't end well .
Sitting in his chair at the exam , Ezra was having a hard time focusing on his test , he tried not to think about the very girl sitting three behind him , the girl who he slept with last night , what was she even doing there ? she didn't look like to be someone who studied for college , for god sake she was a whore , how did she end up sitting near him ? Ezra snapped back from his thoughts as he was almost finishing his exam , surprisingly he was doing it better than he expected , although his mind was still somewhere else , he turned his head slightly and looked at Aria who was rubbing her eyes , it was like she was about to cry , she was staring at her exam as she wrote some notes on it once a while .
" sorry can I get an extra paper ?" Ezra asked professor King as he nodded , Aria cursed under her breath as Ezra noticed it well .
" extra paper ? are you fucking kidding me ?" Aria mumbled as Ezra smirked himself , he knew Aria couldn't see him , suddenly there was a feeling creating inside him that was unbearable to him . he took the paper from professor King as he thanked him and started writing on it .
Ten minutes time was left for the students , some of them were already giving their papers and leaving the room , some of them were stuck with the exam , Ezra glanced at professor King to make sure that he's distracted , he waited for the great opportunity as he saw professor King turning around that his back was now facing the students , Ezra quickly took the chance as he reached under his seat and offered Aria the paper , she was beyond confused as she looked at the paper in his hand.
" take it " Ezra demanded quietly as Aria hesitated , she wasn't a cheater but she was having a hard time passing this term , she bit her lip as she grasped the paper from him hurriedly and started entering his answers in her own paper , clock was ticking as Aria felt more and more anxious than ever , after a short period of time they all heard the alarm ringing , people started sighing as they all stopped writing and handed their papers to their professor , luckily Aria was successful on finishing her exam as she slowly stepped to professor King and gave her paper , she glanced at Ezra who was standing directly behind her , waiting to return his paper as Aria walked out calmly yet terrified . she knew she had to talk to him , she had to confront him about everything .
She waited outside the class as she witnessed Ezra and professor King walking out while they were talking to each other , she sighed as she saw him locking the lecture hall door and started walking out , Ezra didn't seem to notice her standing a bit far from them .
She couldn't lose the opportunity , she couldn't miss Ezra out of her sight this moment , he could tell everyone where she works , or worked , because of her stupid decision for not getting money from Ezra , she got into a fight with the manager and he kicked her out , right now she was more fragile than ever , she had no place to stay or nowhere else to work , she needed money , she had to pay her tuition or else she couldn't finish her college and get her degree .
She rushed to professor King and Ezra as she stopped in front of them , causing them to look at her confused .
" I'm so sorry to interrupt you professor King but I forgot my scarf in the lecture hall , can you open the door for me so I can get it ?" Aria excused as she bit her lip , she glanced at Ezra who was looking at her as he narrowed his eyes . professor King took the keys out of his bag and handed them to Aria .
" here , go and get your scarf then bring me the keys to my office " he said as Aria nodded and smiled . before she could leave , she saw Ezra saying his goodbye to his professor as he started walking in the opposite direction , to the lecture hall ! .
Aria followed him as she reached to the room , she opened the door and saw Ezra passing the lecture hall , she thought he was going with her but apparently he had different plans. She cursed quietly as she started walking towards him .
Suddenly something stopped Ezra from walking as she felt a familiar pair of arms grabbing the back of his shirt forcefully and guiding him to the room , she let go of him as she entered him inside the room and closed the door and locked it , Ezra turned around and looked at her confused and yet mad at the same time .
"what the hell !? is this how you thank me for helping you with your exam ?" Ezra snapped madly as Aria looked at him furiously and raised her brows .
" oh shut the fuck up " Aria said as she started walking around the room aimlessly , she didn't know what to say or do .Ezra looked at her shocked , who would thought she would have a sharp tongue ?.
" why did you drag me in here ?" Ezra asked moments later as he saw her walking around as she ran a hand through her hair feverishly , even when she was mad she looked pretty .
" you cannot tell anybody " Aria stated seriously .
" tell what ?" Ezra asked confused as Aria walked towards him , he was a bit afraid of her .
" about last night , about what I do or where I worked " Aria pleaded as she swallowed , he looked at her as he narrowed his eyes .he sighed as he opened his mouth to talk few times but then closed it again , Aria just looked at him with her pleading eyes , hoping that he would understand .
" I … I don't have a reason to tell anyone "
" you don't right now , but once you get one who knows what happens " Aria sighed as she leaned back on the desk and looked down , her eyes were locked with the tiled floor as she struggled with the hem of her dress .
" just promise you don't … I'll do whatever you want , please " Aria begged as Ezra nodded sympathetically as he approached her .
" why do you even work there ? I mean you're in here , in a really good college , I don't get you –"
" that's not any of your business " Aria snapped back madly as Ezra took a step back and looked at her as he raised his eyebrows , she regretted her tone instantly as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath .
" I'm sorry "
" no it's fine , you're right it's none of my business " Ezra said coldly , seeing the regret and hurt in her eyes , she looked so fragile and broken , yet hard work , he couldn't tell what really was wrong with her ? she was so guarded.
" I didn't mean , it's just it took a lot of work for me to get my scholarship , and I don't want to lose it and with everything with work and other –"
" I got it , you don't have to interpret yourself in front me " he grabbed his bag from the floor and glanced at her for the last time , she seemed nervous , she looked at him as she walked to him .
"your secret is safe with me , stop being worry , everyone has a job and yours well … " he trailed off as Aria chuckled bitterly , she crossed her arms and kept her eyes on the ground .
" I – I don't have a job " he looked at her confused as she met his eyes forcefully .
" I am not working there anymore " she said as he bit his lip .
" you quitted ?"
" actually I got fired , the asshole manager " she cursed as she rolled her eyes , in Ezra's eyes even though she was mad , she still looked pretty , he didn't get why a girl like her should waste herself by stripping ? she could do a lot of better , she deserved a better life , but still Ezra didn't know anything.
" why ?" Aria looked away as she doubted answering him , she didn't want him to know why , she didn't need his pity , she didn't need anybody .realization washed over Ezra's face as he cursed under his breath and rubbed the back of his neck feverishly .
" me , you got fired because of me , didn't you ?" he mumbled regretfully as he closed his eyes and sighed .
" it doesn't matter , it was my choice not to get money from you , my decision won't change if this happens again " Aria stated .
" oh please … " Ezra scoffed as Aria looked at him pissed .
" will you shot up already or do I have to make you ?" Aria groaned as Ezra scoffed again , looking at her .
" and how are you gonna do that ?" Ezra said sarcastically as Aria raised her hands on the air in a sign on frustrated as she cursed and walked to him hurriedly , within seconds her lips were landing on his as she pushed him backward and kissed him heatedly , Ezra was too shocked to respond , his eyes were wide open as he finally gave in and kissed her back , she locked her hands together on the back of his neck as his own hands automatically found her waist and closed the gap between them , he pushed her petite body to his as she moan between the kiss , her hands were running through his curly hair as she felt one of his hand sneaking under her dress and grabbed her butt as he squeezed it roughly , Aria gasped in the kiss as she pulled back threw her head back in pleasure , he took the opportunity and placed several open mouthed kisses on her neck , he sucked , bit , nibbled on her sensitive skin of her neck as she bit her lip , preventing herself from screaming considering the surrounding .
His mouth found hers one more time as she pushed him hard against the wall , receiving a shaky moan from him as she slid off his jacket from his shoulders and toss it on the floor . she struggled with herself as she attempted to unbutton his shirt but only stopped as Ezra took her wrist immediately and stopped her , he looked into her eyes with lust and needs .
" let's get out of here " Ezra panted breathlessly as Aria nodded quickly .
Flashback
" what's your name ?" she was too weak to answer the nurse's question , she looked around as she realized she was in the hospital , she had a hard time trying to move her head to right and left , she swallowed hard as her mouth was still dry .
" you want some water ?" Aria nodded slightly as the nursed poured her a glass of water and helped her drink . she drank the last sip of her glass as she wiped away her mouth .
" what's your name sweetheart ?" the middle age nurse asked one more time as she struggled to answer her , considering her situation she could barely move her fingers .
" A-Aria " she whispered as the nursed nodded and wrote down her name in her file .
" Aria darling , what's the last thing you remember ?" she asked kindly as Aria closed her eyes and thought .
" I – my dad was driving , the break didn't work … I remember my mom screaming when … the car fell down in the valley " Aria tried so hard to remember more but this was the last thing she remembered , the next thing she remembers is her waking up now . the nurse looked at her sadly but she smiled weakly at her .
" it's the good thing the impact didn't effect your memory " she assured as she grabbed her wrist and started counting her pulse . Aria hissed in pain as she felt the nurse's finger , pressing her damaged wrist .
" my parents … are they … are they okay ?" Aria asked as she looked at the nurse desperately , only receiving a nervous look from her as Aria tried to hold back her tears , she failed .
