Previously :

He walked back to his apartment , only to find Aria sitting on his couch comfortably as she was reading a book of his , he didn't know how she got in or what she was doing in his apartment … they haven't really talked since their scenes in her bedroom and bathroom following .finally after closing the door Aria noticed his presence as she turned her head and looked at him , she gave him a soft smile before getting up and walking to him , God she was beautiful .

That's when Ezra realized , he was ready to date.

He was ready to date again but he didn't want other people … he wanted Aria .

She looked around as she put her purse on the table , Ezra wasn't home yet , home ? what is wrong with her ? . she made herself comfortable as she sat on his couch and grabbed the notebook in front of her , she knew she shouldn't touch his stuff without permission but she couldn't help it , she was willing to know everything about this guy in any cost . she found out it was a book of his own writing as she started reading different pages , her heart melted and smiled at herself as she was enjoying reading ever single word he had written , she glanced at her phone and noticed her unread message , she unlocked her phone and read her message quickly but apparently it has sent in the morning when she was paying no attention in her phone , it was almost 9:00pm .

"Hey baby , I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay , and I missed you ! I'll be back soon . love you - Ethan"

she sighed as she reread his message over and over , how is she going to survive from this mess ? and why is she keep going after her boyfriend's brother while she knew it was wrong ?

she decided it was best for her to assure Ethan that she was okay too so she dialed his number as she was waiting for him to pick up

" Hello?" an unknown voice from the other line picked up the phone as Aria frowned her eyes in confusion , and worse it was a sound of a woman.

" umm… is this Ethan's phone ?" Aria asked nervously as she started biting her lip ,

" Ethan ? … oh right … yeah I guess if this is what his name is …" the other woman responded unknowingly as Aria kept biting her lip , God not again.

" hello? You still there ?" the woman questioned calmly several minutes after her explanation as she heard no response from Aria . Aria hanged up after she heard her and tossed her phone on the cushion of the couch and looked down .

she grabbed a book of his from the table and started reading to distract himself , she was so lost in her thoughts that after amount of time she heard the door of the apartment closing , Aria noticed his presence as she turned her head and looked at him , she gave him a soft smile before getting up and walking to him .

A look of confusion and happy came across his face as she was approaching him , he didn't know how to react , should he greet with her ? should he kick her out ? he had no idea but he knew that this girl was pure insanity for him .

Aria on the other hand was just like him , she knew she had to stay away from Ezra , she knew he could be dangerous for her but she didn't care , after seeing him so fragile last night she didn't think that way anymore but still , she didn't know what he was capable of .

She found it would be more easy for her to stay closer to him and try to find out the truth about Ethan , and yet her curiosity about Ezra's personality didn't let her to back up .

Despite their inaccurate type of contact , she wasn't in denial anymore , she enjoyed every second of their previous night , even though they hadn't actually slept together , and yet Aria was still worried , worried of breaking her own vows because of lust and passion .she knew she wouldn't go all the way with him , like any other guy that she has dated but again , none of the other guys created so much feelings and passion in her veins , sure her relationship with Ethan was good and full of emotions but that was before she met his brother .she was aware that she had to stop being this much close to him and let him satisfied her needs but her body didn't let her , and again she cared .

As she gestured him with a smile she kept stepping towards him until she stopped just in front of him , she could see confusion in his eyes .

"Hi" she simply started as Ezra kept looking at her numb , this wasn't her best way of starting a conversation , she could do better .he nodded as he gave her a weak smile and took off his jacket and hanged it , Aria was watching every move of his .he didn't say anything in return .

" I hope you don't mind , I asked the janitor to open up your door since you weren't here … " she trailed off as she saw Ezra looking away as he came and stand in front of her again while he was looking at the wooden ground and nodded quietly . she shut her mouth as she waited for him to continue .

" why are you here Aria ?" suddenly he blurted out as she looked at him while she was biting her bottom , he finally dared himself to look up and see her mesmerizing hazel eyes . she must have thousands of admirers .

" I … I wanted to check on you … I was worried about you since … last night " she answered as she felt Ezra's heavy gaze on her , she could see him struggling with himself as he swallowed hard .

" I'm fine " he responded coldly as he started walking towards the kitchen , Aria yet began to follow him and walked behind him , he went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass followed by a bottle of scotch , she observed him carefully .

" are you sure ? " she asked as he took a sip of his glass and responded immediately .

" you don't have to be worried about me … and you clearly don't need to pretend like you care – " he was cut off by her soft voice .

" I do care "

" why ? " he challenged as he laughed bitterly , by now he could feel the alcohol in his system . she was speechless , without any reasonable answer.

" I don't deserve to be cared – "

" that's not true " she argued with him firmly as she could feel the his broken voice .he kept glaring at her petite form as he remained silent , he was in no mood for fighting , especially with her , he took another long sip of his drink as she walked towards him and approached him carefully , he could tell she was nervous , kinda scared but he knew he won't hurt her .

She got bold as she reached for his hands and took the glass away from Ezra's hands and placed it , Ezra didn't stop her either as she kept her hands firmly with his and sighed , she placed the glass back on the table as she brought back her hand on his , his eyes were down , looking at her hands as she interviewed their fingers together and made him relax .

" Now … let's start over , Hi" she smiled at him as it made his heart melt , he wanted nothing more than having her in his protective arms and stroke her soft hair , to kiss her skin and feel her heat , he gave her back a weak smile , and attempted himself to try and listen to her advice for starting over the night .

" Hi , it's good to see you … strange but good " she giggled softly as he reached for the side of her face and brushed away a lock of hair from her face and placed it behind her ear .

" I … I asked Sarah to drop me off here , I told her that I forgot my scarf here the other day which I actually did "

" it's fine … I'm glad you're here " he answered as she grinned

" me too … oh and by the way , your janitor is a total creep , he kept glaring at me and giving me weird looks after I asked him to let me in your apartment " he chuckled softly as he walked to the refrigerator and opened the door .

" I don't blame him , he was probably a little confused since I don't bring a lot of people in here … especially women "

" oh really ?"she asked seductively as she leaned down on the counter .

" yes really … in fact , you're the first woman that has been in my apartment , despite my mother and Sarah " he answered as he handed Aria a beer and she gladly thanked him and accepted the offer .

" you were right " she spoke up several minutes after a heavy silence between them , Ezra stared at her confused as she came up with an explanation .

" I was lying last night … " she trailed off as they both looked down , recreating last night in their mind .

" wh-why are you saying this to me ?" he questioned confusingly as she shrugged while biting her lip less roughly than last night .

" I don't know … I know this is wrong but I every time something happens between us , even a simple touch , I can't seem to stop myself for coming back for more , I've never felt this way , ever " she answered honestly as she kept her eyes down , being afraid of facing his eyes . he swallowed hard at her confession as he leaned back at the counter and took a sip of his own beer .he took another look at her before smiling wickedly , followed by giggling as Aria dared herself and looked at him confused .

" what ?" she asked quite smiling as Ezra pointed at her with one hand .

" your neck … someone seemed to leave some large hickeys on it " he teased as Aria cursed under her breath and reached up her hand and touched her neck .

" yeah some jerk forgot be more gentle while he was sucking on my neck" she teased back as he laughed , while she came closer and hit him on the shoulder playfully causing him to jump out of his skin

" Ouch ! you know for someone was tiny as you , you seem to have a lot of strength " he snapped back as he rubbed his shoulder repeatedly while she raised her eyebrows madly at him and sighed , he couldn't help but laugh at her attempt to try and keep herself angry at him but she seemed to fail over and over , and eventually gave up and started chuckling .

" So are you staying here … for dinner ?" he questioned eagerly waiting for her to be positive .

" umm it depends … what are you gonna cook ?" she asked as she winked at him causing him to smirk .

" whatever you want "

" well I'm sort of craving Lasagnas … " she trailed off as she licked her lips playfully . he put his beer back on the counter .

"you got it if you help me , I'm not a very good cook model in here "

" Deal " she responded immediately as she walked up to the refrigerator and got her supplies for dinner .

LB

"Hey mom ! " Sarah yelled from downstairs , trying to get her mother's attention as she was looking at her phone and walking to the kitchen .

" what ?" Dianne asked as she walked to downstairs and headed to the kitchen , attempted to set the table for dinner .

"Aria just texted me , she said she's gonna stay at Ezra's for dinner …" she trailed off rereading her text again as she heard her mom sighing .

"I don't think it's a good idea but we can't exactly tell her why " Dianne finished as she started placing the plates on the table

" oh come on , I'm sure Ezra's not gonna say something or do something to her –"

" but he hasn't been acting really well since Ethan and Aria came here … I'm worried Sarah "

" Mom you don't need to be worried , Ezra is way better now … they will be fine " Sarah assured her mother as she bit her lip and looked away .

" well I guess that leaves the two of us … dinner's almost ready "

" thanks mom "

LB

" it doesn't look good " she said concernedly as she looked at the plate of the Lasagnas in front of her on the table .

" don't knock it until you try it " he answered as he walked up to her and sat next to her on the couch , handing her a fork .

" alright go ahead , try it "

" no thanks , I don't wanna die " he teased as he grinned .

" Ezra … you're the one who's saying we should try it " she responded as she was trying to convince him .

" but –"

" please … " she cut him off again as she was trying to seduce him by

pouting at him , he looked up at her and chuckled at her expression .

" Fine … " he grabbed his own fork as he cut a piece of Lasagnas and slowly made its way towards his mouth as he sighed , finally he put it in his mouth as he started chewing it , tasting it .

" surprisingly … it's good " he assured her as she smiled and grabbed a bite for herself .

" Hmm … but next time remind me that you're oven is not in Celsius "

" next time ?" he rose his eyebrows as she bit her lip gulped her bite .

"so how come I'm the first woman that has been here ?" she changed the subject as Ezra gladly took the offer , it wasn't a question he wanted to answer but he had to deal with it .

" umm I don't know … I am not really the most hospitable man in the world "

" well I think you are " she smiled as he smiled , as he reached his hand to her lip and wiped away the Sauce that was left there , she gasped for the contact as Ezra ran his thumb through her lips , never breaking the eye contact with her ,her breath was becoming more irregular

"why can't I stay away from you ?" he whispered under breath as he kept his hand still , her breath became more heavily .

" you don't have to stay away from me … " she responded as he pulled back her hand in his lap , and Aria looked back and finished her meal , after a few moments that they were both full , they got interrupted by the sound of Aria's phone ringing , she grabbed the phone as she noticed Ethan's number on it , after few short moments she declined the phone and throw her phone back on the table , she looked away as she placed her plate on the table , Ezra yet watched every move of hers as she remained quiet and started playing with the hem of her blouse , at first Ezra thought she acts this way because she feels guilty about Ethan but her expression was different .

"is everything okay ?" he asked as she nodded quietly , avoiding to look at him in the eye .

" everything's fine " he put his plate on the table as he approached her on the couch .

"are you upset … for lying to him ? about me or –"

" it's not about you "

" then what is it about ? … I hate to see you upset " she smiled sadly at his statement as she reached up her hand and ran it through his soft hair before placing it on his side face .

" I – I just don't think that I am ready to talk about , at least for now "

"then let me know when you were ready " he finished as she kept her smile still and approached him as she placed a delicate kiss on his cheek which made him gasp out of contact .

" can-can I stay here tonight ?"he looked at him unsurely as he started biting his inner lip .

" sure … I'll go make the bed ready for you "he got up as he walked to the bedroom and fixed the bed as she followed him and watched his moves , as soon as he started grabbing himself some pillows and blankets to walk to the couch , she stopped him .

" I don't mind sleeping together " he looked at her shocked as he rose his eyebrows causing her eyes widen and try to correct herself .

" I didn't mean that , it came out wrong , I meant I don't mind sharing the bed with you" she rambled as he giggled at her nervously .

"still awkward" he trailed off as she looked at him disappointedly .

" I don't think it's a very wise idea – "

" pillow in the middle ? please …" she suggested as he sighed and looked at her , admiring her beautiful eyes .

" why not ? but you must know … I sleep shirtless" he said seductively as she smirked .

" I don't mind at all , can I borrow a shirt ?" he walked to his dresser as she threw her a grey shirt and she caught it and headed towards the bathroom to change .

Her heart was pounding as she closed the door ,this is not wise at all , she kept thinking as she took off her blouse , bra and her skirt as she put on his shirt , it smelled like him as she sensed it , she made her way back to the bedroom as she caught Ezra laying down on the left side of the bed as he placed a pillow between the sides , she walked to him nervously as she turned off the lights and laid down on her side , she could hear Ezra sighing as she watched him turning on his side so he could watch her , they stared at each other wordlessly as she gave him a smile , her heart was pounding just like last night but she didn't want to ruin the moment , for a second her mind was with Ethan and think about cheating on him but then her mind was with Ezra , the guy she had known for a few days and she was already falling for him , everything's different with him , his character is mostly like Aria but he was mysterious , he didn't share much things about himself or his past , the past that Aria was sure that was connected to Ethan too , she was willing to find out about it in any cost , even if that meant hooking up with her boyfriend's brother .

She watched him carefully as she made her decision , she made her move by taking the pillow between them and tossing it carelessly as Ezra looked at her confused , but his mind stopped wondering as Aria closed the gap between them and capturing her lips with his , he closed his eyes immediately as he felt Aria's weight on his , she had rolled herself on top of him as she placed on hand on his shoulder and another on the side of his face , his own hands were now roaming on her back as he let them slid under her shirt , he realized she was braless but that didn't stay hidden for long as he felt her nipples harden and press against his toned chest , she deepened the kiss by sliding her tongue into his mouth as their tongues began to fight for dominance , she moaned in his mouth as she felt herself throbbing and getting wet , their feet were tangling with each other as they both pulled back breathlessly , catching for the air as they made eye contact , she brushed away her hair from her face as she placed it in the back of her ear , he looked at her confusingly but yet lustfully as she placed a chaste kiss on his lips seconds later , she didn't give him enough time to kiss her back as she pulled away and kept her petite body on top of his and ran her fingers along his chest .

" can we … give it a shot before reality comes back ?" she asked almost desperately for him to be positive as she broke the eye contact with him .she meant every word she said she liked him too much to lose him as she was willing to get herself in danger for him , right now reality was the last thing she wanted to face to .

"Aria … that reality is your boyfriend of one year / my brother … are you sure you want to put your everything on the risk just to be with the guy you barely know ?"

" I already know you –"

" but you don't know the other side of me ,the dark side of me … I can't promise you that I won't hurt you …"

" I know you won't … as much as I feel bad about lying about this … but I want to be with you , I mean who knows that happens next " she trailed off as he looked at her happily , he knew this was wrong , but it felt right ,she wanted him , he wanted her , for the first time after two years , he was finally able to move on and be with another woman .

" I'll tell you what, we give it a shot until the reality comes back and then if you still wanted … this , we'll figure out a way " she looked at him for few seconds before nodding her head and accept the offer , she smiled again as she placed a soft long kiss on his lips , it wasn't lustful or needy , it was slow and passionate , filled with love and wants .

They both pulled back as she rolled back on the mattress and laid her head back on his chest , he wrapped his arms around her as he placed them on her stomach , her back was pressing to his chest as he placed another gentle kiss on her cheek .

" good night Aria " he whispered as he let his breath tickle her neck .

" good night Ezra " she closed her eyes as she sighed in relief , despite everything that was going on , she truly wanted this , she has never felt this way about any other guy , not even Ethan , Ethan was the greatest and safest choice for her but she couldn't get her mind off from what happened earlier that night , deep down she knew what this meant , and why that lady picked up Ethan's phone , it wasn't the first time ,in fact the whole reason for him to bringing her to meet his family was because he wanted to make up his mistake , the mistake that he is making again , if he wanted to start again and cheat on her , well two can play that game .
