"Ok…is it just me or was that incredibly awkward?" Spencer asked. The four girls were up in Aria's bedroom like old times, sitting on her bedroom floor drinking red wine. It turned out that the girls were quick to pick up on the tension between the former lovers and couldn't wait to grill Aria about it.

"I just wanted to knock both of your heads together and tell you to make out already!"

"Yeah, you could cut the feelings with a knife!" Hanna exclaimed.

"Tension Hanna!" Spencer was always quick to correct her dear friend.

"Whatever Spence. But no, seriously, Fitzy still has a thing for you!"

"I know, it was sooo obvious!" Emily added. "The way he looked at you said it all! And he's not the only one still carrying a flame for his former lover!"

"Guys, it was just an unexpected dinner, that's all!" Aria said. "Anyway, what's everyone's plans for tomorrow?"

"Don't change the subject!" Hanna exclaimed. "You're still got a thing for him! It's so obvious!"

"I knew it!" Spencer cried. "You still love him, don't you!"

"I do not!" Aria said, a little too eagerly.

"Liar!" Emily laughed. "It's written all over your face!"

Aria sighed. It was no use trying to hide anything from these girls, they were all over a lie like a pack of hyenas. Aria was never as good a liar as the others and her friends could see right through her.

"I don't love him anymore, I'll just always have some kind of love for him, I guess. We went through a lot together, plus I lost my virginity to him and he was my first love. I care for him just not like I used to." The well-rehearsed lie left Aria's lips a little too quickly and neither friend was convinced.

"Yeah, and did you see that flying cow?!"

"Pig Hanna! Flying pig!" Spencer corrected her, again. It was kind of a ritual with the two of them; Spencer had been correcting Hanna's little errors since high school.

"Ezra is totally still in love with you, it's written all over his face!" Emily said. "He still hung onto every word you said, it was so obvious!"

"Yeah!" Spencer agreed. "And when he did look at you, his facial expression was just so…oh god you just can't describe it!"

"Maybe your mum invited him over on purpose!" Hannah suggested. "You know, to set you back up and stuff?"

"No way, my mum is putting money towards my wedding! That's ridiculous!"

"Do you love Daniel?" Spencer asked.

"Of course! I'm marrying him am I not?!" Aria half laughed, half yelled.

"That means nothing these days!"

"Hanna!" Emily exclaimed.

"What?" She replied. "I'm just saying!"

"Look guys, enough!" Aria said, pouring herself another glass of wine. "I'm marrying Daniel in just under two weeks, Ezra or no Ezra!"

"My money's on you running away at the alter!" Hanna laughed, the other three girls shooting daggers at her. "What? A little humour never killed anyone, right?

Aria would never in a million years let on that she still burnt some sort of a flame for Ezra. She just had the difficult job of convincing herself that it was just wedding nerves bringing these feelings to the surface again, and not recurring memories making her fall in love all over again.


So...the girls are on to Aria! Will she confess to them about how she really feels? Thank you for the reviews guys, carry on reviewing please! xoxo
