"Get in!" Hanna called from the passenger seat of Spencer's red Audi. Lugging a large overnight bag filled with clothes and everyday items, she climbed in, still wearing Ezra's clothes.

"Ok, your wearing those clothes because you've recently had sex, or you've slept and had sex!" Hanna exclaimed.

"Han!" Aria shot back. "I'm wearing them as I turned up to Ezra's in nothing but a wedding dress!"

"Yeah, but you still had sex, right?!"

"Well, maybe!"

Emily and Spencer laughed.

"So go on, runaway bride, what's the gossip then?" Spencer asked, driving away from the Montgomery's.
"Well, I think it's clear to everyone what happened!" Aria said, half laughing, half serious. "I chose the wrong time to tell my fiancée I didn't love him and I loved someone else! I feel like such a cow!"

"Your not a cow," Emily said. Typical Emily, always trying to see the good in every bad situation. "Yeah, it was harsh for Daniel, but marrying him because you felt like you had to would be even worse in the long run."

"Yeah, plus you've loved Ezra for like, ever!" Hanna added. "You and Fitzy are just meant to be!"

Aria smiled. When she and Ezra had been together before and faced all the judgment and criticisms from various people, it was her friends that always told her that she and him were meant to be together; they both shared a love for writing and good literature and they were just perfectly suited.

"Ah, I hope so," Aria replied. "I'd hate to think all this drama would be for nothing!"

"Trust me. Ezra is mad about you!" Spencer said. "He always was and he always will be. You should have seen the look on his face when he saw you running towards him!"

"Yeah, it was like he'd been offered a lifetime of free Armani products!" Hanna was the only person in the world who would compare someone's feelings to fashion, but her friends wouldn't have her any other way!

"So are you two back together now?" Emily asked.

"Uhm, I guess so," Aria replied. "I mean, we're not gonna rush anything obviously, but I think we're seeing each other now, so yeah."

"You two are just meant to be!" Hanna beamed. "I knew you two would be together forever, I just knew it!"

The girls spent then next hour or so catching up on the day's events, and just talking about the future. Each girl had a long-term serious partner and Aria would have been the first to get married, but that never happened. Everyone's bets were on Hanna and Caleb next – they had been on and off for years but both had the same thing in common; they were utterly and sickeningly in love with each other and with both of them maturing as they got older, they agreed on more of the same things now. Spencer drove Aria round to Ezra's and waited until she got inside the apartment building before driving off.

Aria absolutely adored Ezra's apartment. She had made so many memories there, good and bad, and much of their relationship in the early days was spent there. She knocked on the door lightly and Ezra opened it. He was wearing dark grey sweat pant shorts and a white tee and Aria thought he looked just wonderful.

"Hey beautiful," he greeted her, taking her bags out of her hands. "How did it go?"

Aria groaned. "Can I have a hug?"

Ezra wrapped his arms around her small body and held her close. "That bad, huh?"

"My dad is really pissed," she began. "My mum not so much, but my dad is so angry at me!"

"You know your dad, he always was an angry man!" Ezra said. "Besides. He will come round, he just needs some time." He kissed the top of her head.

"He just kept saying so ashamed people would be and how angry he is, but didn't once ask me how I was!" Aria exclaimed. She pulled away from Ezra and sighed.

"Well, how are you? Really?"

"I feel awful, I really do, but I made the right choice. How could I marry a man I didn't love? And how could I walk away again from the man I do love?" She tiptoed and planted a small kiss on his lips and brushed a lock of hair away from him forehead.

"I definitely think you made the right choice!" Ezra smiled. "If neither of us could forget one another in six years, I don't think we would have ever been able to! Are you hungry, by the way?"

Aria nodded. She was yet to eat today and suddenly felt extremely hungry with the mention of food.

"What do you fancy?"

"Anything, seriously!" She answered. "I could eat a small horse right now I'm that hungry!"

"What about a pizza?" Ezra suggested. "They've opened up a mean pizzeria recently who deliver and their garlic dough balls are to die for!"

"Sounds perfect! Oh, and by the way, I'm no longer a vegan so any pizza topping will do me!"

"Yeah, I figured!" Ezra laughed. "The way you chowed down the lasagna your mum made the other week kinda proved it!"

"It was good lasagna!" She shot back. "Anyway, I'm going to jump in the shower, if that's ok, and get ordering Mr!"

One hour, a boiling hot shower and lots of pizza later, the star-crossed lovers were sprawled across the sofa channel flicking.

"There is nothing on!" Aria sighed, flicking from one channel to the next. "Sunday night TV sucks!"

"Yeah I know, too bad I've got work tomorrow otherwise we could have stayed up and had a movie marathon!"

"Well, I can think of something much better than TV," Aria said seductively, her lips finding Ezra's. She pulled herself up and straddled him, all the while kissing him deeply. Ezra groaned and grabbed her tightly by the hips and pulled her as close to him as he could, before lacing her neck and collar-bone with soft, fiery kisses.

"Bed, now," Aria managed to murmur, and in a second her legs were wrapped around Ezra's torso as he staggered to the bed. He laid her down as if she was the most precious thing on the earth and gently tugged her clothes off until she was naked.

"You too! She said, pulling on his tee shirt. Within seconds they were both naked, their warm bodies pressed against each other. He kissed every part of her body, taking his time to drink in her beauty and ensure she felt undeniable pleasure. There were no time constraints, no interruptions, and no regrets, just the two of them.

"You, are beautiful," he whispered, his lips brushing against her nipple, causing Aria to shiver. She moaned, her hands instinctively reaching out for Ezra.

"I've waited years to have you back with me." His lips found hers and his fingers gently massaged her clit, causing Aria to moan softly against his lips.

"I need you," she whispered, her hands lost in his hair and her breath warm against the skin of his neck. He obeyed her and entered her, both groaning at the sheer bliss of the feeling.

"I love you Ezra," Aria called as he made slow, gentle love to her and she knew that without a doubt, running away from her own wedding was the best thing she'd ever done. She'd never felt happiness like she did when she was with him and as he took her body to a strong climax she cried, tears of pleasure and tears for the six years that she had missed in his life.
