Ezra hadn't had so many emotions like this provoked since his engagement with Jackie ended nearly a year ago. He had been on dates with women who he met through mutual friends but none of them even had anything compared to Jackie. Since talking with Aria he hadn't given a thought to Jackie.

The two spent hours sat at the Grille talking about random topics, but the one they both found most interesting was their love for literature.

"Whats your favourite piece of literature?" Aria asked intrigued by their contemporary topic.

"To kill a Mockingbird, i find thats its Harper Lee's finest piece of work. I don't know what it is but i found it fascinating" he said before asking about her what her favourite novel was.

"Your most probably not going to believe me but my Favourite book is 'To kill a Mockingbird'" she said while twirling her hair around her finger in a flirtatious way. Aria was not aware that Ezra was 6years her senior. Aria glanced at her phone at saw that it was almost half 3, she had spent nearly 5 hours sat talking with Ezra, she told her mother that she would be back for 5. Aria finished her drink and started to stand, "i'm sorry but i must leave, i have to unpack my things in my room".

Ezra followed her action of standing, "No its fine, no need to apologise. May i have your number?"

"Sure, how about you put your number in my phone and i'll text you?" She said smiling up at Ezra while holding her arm outstretched to pass her phone to him.

"Done" he said smiling

"Well goodbye" Aria whispered, for some unknown reason. Ezra had no idea what impulsed his actions but he bent forward and kissed her softly on her lips that tasted of strawberries.

"I'm sor-"

"No don't be" she said cutting him off before she stood on her tip toes and pressed her lips against his. Their first few kisses were short but they didn't lack any passion. Their kisses intensified when Aria's lips parted slightly, and Ezra couldn't help but allow his tongue to enter her mouth, allowing it do dance with Aria's.

Aria was conscious of their surroundings, "maybe we should go somewhere else" she stated, Ezra agreed knowing that the passion in their kisses should not be displayed in front of everyone inside and out of the Grille.

Aria took Ezra's hand and lead him towards the ladies powder room. Once they were out of sight of the other customers, Ezra cupped Aria's face with his hand, stroking her cheek before leaning in for another kiss. They both got lost in their passion and they stumbled into the wash room. Ezra picked Aria up and she wrapped her legs around his waist while wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him further into the kiss. She needed to say something but was unsure of what, in between the kisses where they took breaths she whispered "you smell nice", the just looked at each other before giggling and returning back to their feverish make out session before they consummated their love for each other.

Little did they both know that this love would be forbidden.
