A/N: Wow! This is the quickest I've EVER updated a story before! I have SO MUCH inspiration for this story it's unbelievable! I want to apologies in advance for the lack of Jason in this chapter, like I said before, he was originally supposed to be a part of this chapter, but then what I was typing took on a life of its own. BUT I PROMISE he WILL be in the next chapter! I've already outlined Chapter 3, and it should be up shortly I'm thinking of maybe posting the chapters every Tuesday, or maybe whenever I'm done writing them, we shall see! Now without further or due, ON WITH THE SHOW!
ALSO this story will eventually turn into a rated M story in the next couple of chapters for some Steamy Jaria Scenes ;) Just warning everyone (again).
Aria pulled up to Ezra's apartment building. She shifted gear into park and stepped out of the car. Slipping the trench coat Hanna had given her on and tying it around her waist, she closed the door giving one last look at her reflection in her side mirror. She decided she looked fine, and began the walk to Ezra's.
She entered the small entrance way/lobby of his apartment building, and opened the door to the stairwell. She finally reached the second floor and found his apartment. Standing at his doorway Aria felt nervous, she was excited, yet anxious in a bad way. She ran her fingers across the shiny gold lettering reading 'B-26' that number meant so many things to their relationship. It meant the Poem that Ezra had written Aria that was first brought to her attention by 'A'; It meant the jukebox number for the song "Happiness" by the Fray playing at Snookers, the bar where they had first met; and it also stood for their freedom, Ezra's apartment, The place where they could truly be together; No one watching them or judging, just him and her, nothing else.
At those thoughts Aria forget where she was for a minute. Returning to reality, she quickly took out the breath mist Hanna packed for her, and sprayed it into her mouth 3 times for good measure. She shook her head at the burning sensation, and waited a minute before knocking on the door, waiting for Ezra to answer. After a few seconds he opened the door, smiling. "Why hello Mr. Fitz!" Aria exclaimed, a seductive look in her eyes.
"Why hello Ms. Montgomery" Ezra said smiling. He ran his eyes down Arias body staring at her trench coat and high heels with a quizzical expression on his face. 'Yes! Hanna was right! It's working!' Aria thought to herself as she followed his gaze.
Ezra opened his arms and embraced Aria turning his head to peck her lips before inviting her in. "So Ms. Montgomery…" Ezra began holding Aria in an embrace looking into her eyes. "What's with the Trench Coat? Going for a Sherlock Holmes spy/detective thing?" Ezra joked.
"Hmmm Mr. Fitz not exactly, keep guessing." Aria said with a wink, using her forefingers to climb up his chest and eventually tapping his nose.
With a smirk she pulled away from him and went towards the living room, picking up the lighter Ezra kept on his coffee table lighting the candles around the couch before sitting down, crossing her legs. "Nice shoes, are hey new?" Ezra inquired.
"Maybe, a friend let me borrow them for…a special occasion." She said a twinkle in her eye; Ezra cleared his throat at her seductive tones. "Come sit Ezra" Aria said patting the cushion next to her. Ezra walked over and sat down on the sofa. Aria immediately transferred her crossed legs from over the edge of the couch, onto Ezra's lap practically sitting on him.
She began to play with his collar as she spoke, "So the Apartment looks nice, did you clean it?"
"Uhh yeah" Ezra began, "I figured it had been a while so why not" Aria began to loosen Ezra's tie pulling the knot slowly down looking into his deep Blue eyes. "Aria what exactly are you-" Ezra began but was cut off by Aria.
"Just shut up and kiss me" Aria said in a husky tone as she pulled him by his tie until his lips connected to hers.
Her glossy lips felt soft against his. Ezra grabbed aria by the thigh and pulled her into him. Their lips moved in rhythm with one another sending sparks of electricity through each of their bodies. Finally Aria disconnected, standing up off Ezra's lap. She untied her trench coat and slowly slid it off her shoulders.
Ezra's eyes darted up and down her body taking in the her curves through the sexy dress Aria was wearing. "Wow" was all Ezra said, before Aria pounced back onto him, straddling his lap. She cupped his face in her hands and began kissing him again. Once more, sparks flew and Aria craved to deepen the kiss.
She ran her tongue across Ezra's upper lip and he opened his mouth their tongues sliding together as they passionately kissed. Ezra fisted Arias hair, Aria moaned in response. She ground into Ezra's lap and began to unbutton his shirt. Ezra's eyes shot open, "Aria what are you doing stop."
"Haha you're joking right?" Aria said thinking he was kidding. She bent back down and continued to kiss him; she started to kiss down his jaw line leaving a trail down his neck and began to suck on his pulse point. While sucking on his sensitive spot, Aria began to cup his manhood through his pants.
"Aria…" Ezra began but Aria shushed him, blowing on the spot she just finished sucking. Then she trailed her way to kissing his Adam's apple. She finally began to unzip Ezra's pants and stuck her hand inside. "ARIA!" Ezra shouted yanking her by the fisted bunch of her hair he had in his hands, a little harder than he intended too.
A surprised Aria yelped while sliding off of Ezra's lap, hitting the floor with a thud, and hitting her head hard on his coffee table. "Ouch! Ezra what the hell!" Aria shouted attempting to stand up.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Ezra said offering out his hand for her to take. She slapped him away and finally managed to stand up on her own.
"What the Hell is wrong with?" She shouted rubbing the back of her head feeling a bump about to come out of the sore area. "Why is it that every time we try to get sexual, you shove me away? This time literally." Aria accused. Ezra just looked down while zipping up his fly. "I just think-"Ezra began but was cut off.
"What ARE you thinking Ezra? I just don't even know anymore. Please do tell me what you're thinking. First you won't even look at me when we're at Hollis, and when I try to take baby steps, you don't even try. Is it me or what's going on?" Aria said raising her voice slightly
"Is that what this is about? My new job at Hollis? Aria I can't just-"
Aria cut him off again. "Can't just what? Can't just kiss me in public? Can't just be with me like a normal couple? And what about just now? I try and be affectionate show you how much I love you and what? You body slam me to the floor? What's the matter 'Z' are you ashamed of me or something, am I not Adult enough for you?"
"No, of course not. I just think it'd be better if we waited until your eighteen to have sex."
"Oh God Ezra." Aria said pure disbelief spread across her face. "That is BULLSHIT and you know it! I can't believe you'd even insult my intelligence with what you just said. You took the job at Hollis so we wouldn't need to hide anymore. We could be free. But yet we still never go out in public, or do anything outside of this apartment!"
"I know…" Ezra trailed off in a half whispered tone.
"Then what is it Ezra talk to me! Is it Jackie?"
Ezra looked down not looking up right away to answer Aria's question. "Oh. My. God." Aria said grasping her chest. She felt her throat do that thing it does when you're about to cry, like she had an allergic reaction to something and her throat was closing. Tears began to flow down her face like a water fall. "It's her isn't it?" Aria said beginning to shout.
"No Aria please let me explain…"
"NO EZRA. I'M DONE. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU AND THAT WHORE. FUCK YOU AND FUCK HER!" With that Aria began to storm out of Ezra's apartment grabbing her coat and purse on the way out. She stopped in right outside his door and looked to her left seeing a framed poster hanging on the wall. Aria snatched it off the wall and smashed it on the ground in front of his feet sending glass flying everywhere, shattering it completely. By the time a very shocked Ezra looked up from the shattered glass and frame on the floor and shouted "ARIA PLEASE WAIT I CAN EXPLAIN IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!" Aria was walking out the door, slamming it on the way out.
Aria left Ezra's apartment and began to run. The only sounds echoing through the hallway were the clicks and clacks of her heels as she ran, and the low sobs that were coming from her mouth. Aria got to the stairwell door and shoved it open full force causing a big banging sound to echo through the hall. She stepped inside, leaned against the wall and began to cry her sobs now echoing through the stairwell possibly scaring anyone that was climbing up or down at the time.
Aria slowly slid down to the floor and completely broke down, not caring who saw her. Tears spilling from her eyes and she was sure her mascara was running down her face. Her chest felt like someone had pressed a sharp cookie cutter into her, and pulled it out taking her heart with it, leaving her empty. The cold feeling in her stomach didn't make things any better.
She cupped her face in her hands and quietly sobbed. Just then she heard a pinging sound and looked toward her clutch which lay next to her coat she had discarded to the floor once she entered the stairwell. She hesitated, not wanting to read anything if it were from Ezra. She finally decided to check in case it was one of Spencer's famous "S.O.S" texts and the girls needed her. She looked at her screen it said 'One New Message' with a picture of a little envelope. She pressed 'view' on the touch screen and read the message.
Poor little Aria, rejection has landed you flat on your ass. You liars should know by now, when you play with fire, you're bound to get burned. If you need advice, ask Hefty Hanna I'm sure she's the most qualified to help in your situation. Best of luck sweetie! XOXO -A
Aria threw her phone against the cement wall, it fell to the floor, miraculously not breaking. Aria let out a frustrated grunt and began to sob uncontrollably once again. A mixture of A's hurtful words and Ezra's rejection floating around in her head. Just then another ping rang throughout the stairwell interrupting Aria from her thoughts. She once again hesitated, before sliding over to where her phone lay and picking it up. She read the message.
Oh and P.S. Crying isn't your best look.
Aria's blood ran cold as she opened the attachment that came with the message. The attachment opened to reveal a picture of her sitting on the ground, mascara running down her face looking like she had just been punched in the stomach. Aria gasped, looking around and not seeing anyone, as if on cue light filled the small space as lightning flashed from a window overlooking the street, and the loud sound of nearby thunder rang through her.
All of a sudden she heard the door leading to the Stairwell from the floor above her slam shut. She jumped up scared, 'Oh my God A's here, and they're watching me!' tugging her coat over her shoulders as fast as she could, she ran down the stairs to the lobby, running so fast in fear she almost tripped in her expensive heels and tumbled down the stairs, she caught her balance last minute as she got to the bottom step.
She stepped out into the pouring rain, not bothering to rush to her car, not caring about getting wet, or anything at that moment. She got to her car and stood there holding the handle to the driver's side door, she let the rain fall over her. Finally she opened the door and got inside, starting the ignition up and beginning the drive home.
