CHAPTER 4

A/N: Finally! I don't have much to say, I've been all weekend watching Ezria videos and reading the first PLL book, which I already finished, but I managed to finish this chapter.

I really hope you enjoy it!

Last chapter...

I got out my phone and typed a quick message for Ezra. After I had send it, I laid in my bed as I did the night before this time questioning myself, did I believe in second chances?

EZRA'S POV

After arriving home, saying hi to my mum and my dad that was strangely home I went upstairs to my room. I closed the door and turned on my I pod. I put it in shuffle mode and layed in the bed with my hands behind my neck. Happiness by The Fray started to play. God, I loved this song. I listened to the lyrics but my thoughts were somewhere else. They were about the most beautiful smile I had ever seen and those big hazel eyes I loved. Aria.

She had told me before that she would text me. And I was waiting for her text since I left her before. Its seemed to me that she was going to say yes after the hug she gave me. It had felt so good, with her so close to me after all this years. My phone was on my chest and I waited. And waited. My heart skipped a beat when finally, the screen lighted up. New message: Aria. I sighed in relieve, at least she remember to even text me. I was sacred to even open the message. I didn't know if I wanted to know what was written on it.

Gathering all my courage, I opened it. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as I read her message. Yes! I thought. At least the day was going to end up pretty good. I read her message once again, as If I could actually see her writing it and thinking what to say. I never understood why a beauty like her let stupid boys like us make her feel like she wasn't worth it, because hell she was.

*I thought about it. Cant wait for you to pick me up. xoxo -A*

I read it once again and smiled. I knew she liked me, but she really had to like me a lot to trust me after the ass I had been, and that was something I admired and thanked. I still couldn't believe she agreed.

I had half an hour to get ready and go and pick her up. I knew that what I had planed she was going to love but I still wanted to make it perfect. I decided to put on some jeans and after trying on all of my shirts with different ties I decided to put on a blue one without a tie. As I did the day before, I picked a rose from the bouquet. I said goodbye to my mum and dad and then I grabbed my keys and headed to her house.

Just as I told her at six I was at her front door. I got out of the car and looked at myself on the window reflection one last time. I looked okay. I knocked on the door and a few seconds later she opened it. She was wearing a dark red dress with a black jacket and some boots. She got her keys and closed the door. I gave her a kiss in the check and gave her the rose as I did the day before.

"You look beautiful" I told her as we walked to the car. She just smiled and blushed which made my heart melt even more. I opened her door and waited for her to be inside to close it. Then I walked to my door and got inside too.

"You don't look bad yourself either" she said giving me a smile. "So where are we going?"

"We are going to the movies" I said. I knew that the movie that they were playing today was one of her favorites and mine too. That was one thing I loved, we had so much in common.

"What are they playing today?" She asked me clearly interested.

"You'll see" I told her looking at her. She was staring at me and I couldn't help but smile.

I had the feeling everything was going to go fine today. That taking things slowly was the way to win her back. And I knew I was going to date her, and I didn't care what my friends said. The girls were going to be on our side too. I was so happy.

Five minutes later I parked near the movie theater. I got the football team school jacket and then opened the door for Aria. I put on my jacket and we crossed the street. Should I hold her hand or was she going to be angry? Not knowing what I could and what I couldn't do was killing. Screw the thinking. I hold her hand and intertwined my fingers with hers. For much to my surprise she didn't take her hand back. She looked at me and smiled.

"Oh my god" she said when she read the title of the movie. "I love this movie, I was planning on coming and watching it but I never actually got informed on when they were playing it"

"Well if you want some company, im here" I said raising my hands slightly. She smiled again. I melted again. She drove me crazy and she didn't even know it.

"I absolutely could use very good company." And then she kissed my check and hold my hand pulling me inside. Too bad I was still to shocked to move.

Once we were inside we payed for the tickets, Aria was so stubborn that I finally let her pay hers. Then we asked for a coke one for each other and a big bowl of popcorn for both of us to share. This time I managed to convince her so that I could pay. We sat near that back. I stared at her through out all the movie. She looked amazed, I guess she really had to love this movie.

Our hands touched when we both went to pick up popcorn at the same time. Sparks passed through our hands and for the first time through the whole movie she looked at me. Even in the dark, we stared at each other oblivious of what was happening around us. We didn't care about the film or anyone in the room. I felt the tension between us getting stronger. I wanted to kiss her so bad. But I remembered the key was patience. I look away and focus on the film with out actually paying attention. God this was going to be difficult. If only she knew how madly in love I was with her.

Nothing happened after that. When the film finished we went walked outside our fingers touching but I couldn't get myself to hold her hand. Its was chilly when we walked into the street and I saw Aria rub her arms to gain some heat. I instantly took of my jacket and held it opened for her. She smiled and put it on. It was a little bit big but she look even more beautiful in it.

"Thank you" she said. We stood there awkwardly for some minutes. I didn't want this day to end yet. I didn't want to miss her yet.

"So do you feel like grabbing a coffee or do you want me to drive you home?" I asked her silently wishing she was up for coffee.

"Coffee sounds good" she said. I grabbed her hand and we started walking to the brew that was not far away.

We sat in the brew after I ordered our coffees. We talked about everything. The last three years, favorite books stopping once in a while to discuss different opinions about them, movies, what she liked... We played a game where she asked me questions about her and I had to answer and she was shocked I knew most of them, even the personals. When I asked her, she also knew everything about me. After all, we hadn't completely ignored each other this years.

"Did you actually pay attention to the movie today?" She asked chuckling as she took a sip of coffee.

"Me? Of course I did" I said laughing. She gave me one of her looks. "Okay, not really" I said laughing again. Then everything suddenly turned more serious and I talked again.

"It was difficult to take my eyes of you" I said. "You are so damn gorgeous."

Our eyes met once again but seconds later she blushed and looked down to her coffee. I placed my hand on top of hers that was on the table and she didn't look up but she didn't move her hand either.

"Hey, you don't have to be embarrassed, its true" I said and with that she looked up and smiled.

"Well thank you so much Ezra" she said.

We kept on talking for some more time about the movie never bringing up the subject about our moment inside the theater. We got to the conclusion that it was our favorite movie. After we finished our second coffee we decided it was about time we got home as tomorrow we had class. We walked out hand in hand, we got inside my car. The ride to her house was silent but I could feel her stare on me.

When we arrived, I walked her to her door. She was taking off my jacket but I stopped her before she could.

"Stay with it, it looks better on you anyway" I said smiling.

We stood there looking into each others eyes. I was completely lost in hers and the only thing I wanted to do right know was kiss her. My eyes went from her eyes to her mouth a second and then went back up. Her eyes did the same and I questioned if she wanted to kiss me to. But instead of giving up to my feelings and taking the risk of losing her so I look down. When I looked up I kissed her check and said goodbye. Another great day with the girls of my dream ended without a kiss.

"Ezra" she said before I could reach my car. "Wait"

She started walking towards me until she was just some inches away.

"Thanks so much for today, I had a great time." She said as she caressed my check and I leaned into her touch. I gave her a weak smiled feeling a little bit sad. But before I knew her lips were on mine. Before I could even respond she was walking away. I grabbed her arm, turned her around and kissed her. She kissed me back, and it was the best feeling in the world. It was perfect, the way or lips fitted perfectly with each other and moved in perfect sync.

When we broke apart she gave me another chaste kiss. Our foreheads touched as we had our eyes closed. I didn't even know if what just happened was real o not. I had dream about it so many times.

"I waited for this three years" I said honestly still not opening my eyes. "And it was better than I imagined"

"Where does this leave us?" She whispered, so low that I thought It was my imagination.

"Well" I said and looked at her as I raised her chin. "Aria Montgomery, will you be my girlfriend?"
