A/N Okay its been a while since I updated this but I've just been so busy with school and everything else but I promise that I'll try to update every weekend or at least every other weekend. And the reason it took so long to write this chapter was picking some names out and yes these names (First only not last) are of some people I either am or used to be friends with that have made me who I am an this is the only thing I could come up with to list some of them. Ezra's mom is going to be kinda like Esme in 'Twilight' sweet and everything hope you like it. Enough talk on with the show! :)
**APOV**
The week had gone by fairly fast and in somewhat the same way every day, wake up, make coffee, go to school, back to the apartment, homework, then hang out with Ezra the rest of the night. The only time it changed was when I went to Spencer's to study for the SAT which we do every week on Wednesday right after school until about 8pm. But now I was getting ready for the long road trip to the beach where I will be meeting Ezra's family.
"Aria its time to go." Ezra's voice rang. I quickly grabbed my bags and met him at the door. "are you ready?" he asked as he took my bag and we walked out the door. I nodded as I looked at my phone to see what time it was 4:30am is what it read.
"I have a question why do we have to leave so early?" I asked as we walked to his car, I dropped my moms car off at the gallery for her. "Because we have to be there by 8am to eat breakfast with the family and my mom has planned a girls day with you and another girl that she brought with her. She told me she was about 17 and is being fostered by my parents. My mom gave me the story if you wanna know." he finished and started putting things in the trunk of the car.
"What if your mom doesn't approve of this? What if she doesn't like me? Will she like me Ezra?" I asked in a rush the realization that I was meeting his parents in less than four hours hitting me. He shut the trunk and walked over to me. "They will love you. And my mom knows. My dad will love the fact that you can cook and that you love sports, mom will have fun when you go shopping and go get mani petites because they love those things. I promise they will love you for you so don't worry and just be your natural fun, loving, beautiful self it'll be okay. Now lets go." he finished and opened the door for me to get in the car. Ezra always knew how to calm me.
As soon as he started driving I started getting drowsy and soon fell into a deep slumber.
**Ezra's POV**
As soon as I hit the highway I noticed Aria was asleep I smiled at her then looked back to the road. This was going to be the weekend that everything will happen, my parents meet the girl I'm madly in love with, and the girl I love meets my parents. I'm not worried about my parents meeting Aria but the other way around. What if my mom scares her or says something embarrassing. I mean I love them but they know things that I'm not sure Aria would like about me, but if she loves me this will be great.
My thoughts were cut short by my phone ringing, I quickly answered it so it won't wake the beautiful woman sleeping in the seat next to me.
"Hello?" I asked. I didn't look to see who was calling.
"Hey Ez are you on the way to the beach house? I saw your parents there last night" asked a voice I hadn't heard in a long time. It was my childhood friend Clay Tucker.
"I am on the way to the beach house right now with my girlfriend." I said in a whisper.
"Dude why are you whispering?" he asked trying to mimic me. "Because she's asleep in the seat next to me and I don't want to wake her up." I whispered.
"Oh okay that makes sense well I'll see you when you get here. And how long will that be?" he asked. I looked at the clock it read 5:20am I was shocked it didn't feel like it had been almost an hour. "We'll be there by 7:30 but then we have breakfast with the family which you usually end up being so I guess I'll see you around 8 o'clock." I said knowing that we would be there at 7 but I want to have an hour so that I can rest and unpack and all that good stuff. "Alright man see you then bye." he said just before the line went dead.
Only two more hours left I thought to my self as I pulled off the highway to get another coffee.
**Two hours later still Ezra's POV**
Two hours of traffic, not bad just a few cars and some semi-trucks. Aria is still asleep, but its time to wake up because we are just a few miles from the beach house.
"Aria baby its time to wake up" I said while I was stopped at a light so I shuck her slightly until her eyes fluttered open.
"What time is it?" she asked sitting up a little bit more and reaching for her shades. "It is 7 in the morning and we are about a mile from the house." I said and just about the time I said the last word the I pulled on to the path that lead to the row of house on the beach. I noticed Aria become a little nervous so I reached for her hand and squeezed it lightly. "Thanks" she mumbled to me.
The house came into view and I soon pulled into the drive way and parked.
"This is the place, what do you think?" I asked as we got out of the car at the same time Clay came out of his house next door. "Its beautiful Ezra." she said just then Clay reached us.
"Ezra nice to see you man." he said as he hugged me. "You too Clay. Aria this is Clay my childhood 'friendemy' I guess you can say we were always at each others necks but we were there for each other. Clay this is Aria my girlfriend." I said. "I'm a huger." Clay said. Aria laughed a little then said, "I'm a huger too." then they hugged each other.
"So Clay were you watching and waiting for me to pull up?" I asked as I went to open the trunk. "Kinda I started at about 6:55 and then you pulled up five minutes later." he said as he reached for some bags. "I'll help take these in." he said looking over to Aria and sending her a wink.
"Dude try to take my girl I swear I'll hurt you." I whispered so that only he heard it. "What do you mean 'try', she might like the beach boy and not the books boy." he said as we started walking to the house Aria in front of us so she could open the doors for us. "Whatever man." was the last thing I said before we walked through the doors.
We walked to my old room and put the bags in there before we headed to the top floor where the living area was.
"I'll see you later guys I'm going for a run on the beach." Clay said as he left. Aria leaned over to me.
"I think he was flirting a little bit to much." she whispered as we reached the steps. I chuckled and kissed the top of her head.
Once we reached the top of the steps I saw mom sitting on the couch with a girl I had never seen and my dad was nowhere in sight.
"Hello mom." I said and she looked up from her book.
"Ezra how lovely to see you sweetie and who is this?" she asked getting up and coming over to Aria and I. "Mom this is Aria, Aria this is my loving mom." I introduced them. My mom quickly pulled Aria into a hug which she returned. "Its nice to meet you dear." mom said pulling out of the hug. "Its nice to meet you too Mrs. Fitz I love this place its so beautiful." Aria said smiling. "Thank you and please call me either Casey, Paige, or mom Mrs. Fitz was my mother-in-law and a bitch if you ask me." mom said smiling. Aria laughed a little at this and said "Casey I like that name."
"Mom who is this?" I asked looking at the girl dressed in a black knee length dress. "This is Raven she is our foster child that we will actually be adopting. Raven this is Ezra and..." "Aria I heard its nice to meet you two I've heard a lot about you Ezra. And I saw pictures but they do not do you justice, you're more handsome." she said reaching her hand out and I shuck it. "I've heard about you and its nice to meet you as well" I said. This is going to be a long weekend with Clay hitting on Aria and Raven on me.
