CHAPTER 7
A/N: Hey! I'm sorry it took longer than normal but I had this bunch of exams and I just couldn't get time to write. I thought I really needed a chapter like this, all Ezria being cute... You know before the drama to come in a few chapters. Enjoy!
EZRA'S POV
And I kissed him. Gently. Savoring the moment. After a few seconds he kissed me back. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he closed the door and I leaned against it. Our lips moving perfectly in sync, as he sucked on my lower lip I felt myself going weak in the knees and I thanked being pressed against the door. I could describe this as the best kiss in my whole life.
I know it sounds cliche, but those butterflies that people say they feel when they kiss the one, I felt them, in that moment when our lips met, the idea crossed my mind for a second, that maybe, he could be my one and only.
We continued kissing, passionately, neither of us wanting to stop or even move, scared that what was happening was just a dream. We broke up the kiss for seconds when oxygen became necessary, we looked intensely into each others eyes, this time asking permission to close the gap between us, as we saw acceptance in each other's eyes our lips met once more, in perfect sync.
After a few more seconds, I remembered that she had a boyfriend, and that we couldn't do this even if we both wanted to give everything up. I pulled her away so I could at least mumble something. It was hard for me to get all the words in place as she traveled down to kiss my neck.
"Aria you are kissing me" Was all I could manage to say, before she came up again. I was lost in this sweet sensation for a few more minutes. Then I pulled her back again. This time she spoke to answer my statement.
"I know," she simply said.
We were both so blinded by desire we couldn't get to think clearly but I wasn't going to be comfortable kissing her knowing she was with another guy. Without even noticing it, I was the one who traveled down to her neck this time as she pushed me closer to her squeezing my ass. She was such a turn on.
The brightness hit my again, I couldn't go to far with her having Noel in my way. I stepped back again this time leaving more than one foot apart from one another so we could actually control ourselves just for five minutes. She stood on the door looking at me slightly embarrassed. She had probably thought I wasn't interested in her even after all the making out as I was the one stopping. She didn't even looked at my face and it was making it very difficult for me not to kiss her again.
"I-Uh- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have- I better go," she said turning on her heels and opening the door again.
This was the moment where I had to choose to let her go and having no problems or risks the rest of they year and probably throwing away any possibility with her, or making her stay, giving up to my feelings and doing what I really wanted to.
Instead of what a normal adult would have done, I grabbed her arm as I did when I went to get her a few hours before. I came closer to her, pulling her chin up gently so she looked at my eyes. When she saw no regret in mine she blushed gently and looked down again. This wasn't the time to feel ashamed, or to think I was her teacher.
"Hey look at me," I said pulling her chin up once again. "I don't regret this, you know, actually this is all I wanted all week long" I managed to make her laugh. One of the most beautiful sounds I had ever heard.
This was the Aria I really liked, the carefree, young and happy. And that was how I felt knowing I could make her be like that just being around her. It made my heart swell with love, like I had never experienced before. Wait did I just say love? Yeah, pretty sure that's what I said.
"I just- I'm confused and I really need you to tell me something's that are just- Why?" I asked as my hands traveled down to hold hers. I started to trace circles with my thumbs on the top.
I looked up to see she was staring at me with an eyebrow raised. I realized I hadn't been very clear with my question and she had no idea what I was talking about. The question was stupid, I knew the answer but I wanted to hear her say it. So I could know it wasn't just a product of my imagination.
"Why did you kiss me?" I asked her this time being able to use more than one word. Nerves had already disappeared around us, and the only thing that filled the room was the sexual tension between us. By the look on her face she wasn't expecting that question.
"I- Well I-" she started saying struggling with words as I had before. She closed her mouth, thinking once again how to express herself. "Because I wanted to, because I've been wanted to do it for a few days now"
Her answer was simple and clear. With sixteen words she made me even happier than I was before. I didn't have second thoughts now about risking everything. I didn't have to talk to her because I was completely sure about it. It was perfect; there was just one thing we needed, her I do. And of course my last question.
"But we cant do this, well technically you cant do this I can" I told her. Then I saw the confusion in her face once again. Today was not my lucky day with words I thought. "Not because this is wrong, that it is, but I'm referring to Noel, you have a boyfriend"
This time when I talked about him I didn't sound angry or cold, just sad that there was something real stopping us again. Seeing my sad expression she came closer and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her as leaned my head on the top of hers. I could feel her smile against my bare chest, and I couldn't understand shy she was smiling about this.
"I don't exactly have a boyfriend," she said.
When she said this I pulled her back suddenly as my eyes shot open. I had seen her making out with Noel in high school, and they were not exactly memories that I liked. And they were very very real to say the least.
"W- What?" I asked not knowing what else to say. Maybe this was going to work. Oh god please let this work, I thought. I didn't mind if my job didn't work and I had to find a new one, or wait for her to finish the year, I didn't care about anything specially after the kiss. She gave me a shy smile, she was still embarrassed about it. I had to take that thought out of her mind. After that she started explaining herself.
"I broke up with Noel before I came here, I didn't know what was going to happen, but after knowing you yesterday, and I mean not as my teacher, I realized I couldn't be with Noel if I had feelings for somebody else. Then again my plan wasn't to kiss you, but well you kind off made it difficult for me to resist"
When she finished she pointed at me, yeah, I completely forgot I wasn't wearing a t-shirt when I opened the door. Good thing I didn't then.
I smiled, and soon that smiled turned into laughter when I got her up hugging her and turned around. I left her again with her feet on the floor. She pulled me closer, wrapping her arms around me. I grabbed her face with both hands, and as we both stared into each other's eyes, I closed the gap again.
The kiss wasn't like the one moments before. It was slow, passionate, in a romantic way, both of us wanting to feel each spark, each butterfly. We gave into our feelings, trying to forget this first week with the kiss. As if it was the last one. The truth was it was the first of many to come, we both knew it.
Things started to get heated up and before I even had time to stop myself, Aria was already pushing me backwards and onto the couch. My hands found the way inside her t-shirt, never going too far, as she run her hands down my abs.
After some minutes, I realized we had to stop and actually talk about what was going to happen. I stopped her and we both sat up straight in the couch. She straightened the hoddie and then looked at me. We both smiled at the same time, she was beautiful. I got hold of her hand and then talked.
"As much as I want to continue this we need to talk about it before doing anything we both regret for some time" she nodded and the then spoke.
"I know what I want, I know this is wrong but I cant get myself to feel it is wrong, my heart just kept telling me it was right" she said honestly. That was exactly how I felt; she had just said what I wanted to say.
"I know what I want to, and if I have to resign from Rosewood High and wait for you I will, I guess you'll think I'm stupid but I had a feeling I should trust my heart on this one."
And that was what I was going to do. She threw herself onto my arms and I hugged her closer to my body, bringing her to my lap. I kissed her forehead and closed my eyes loving having her in my arms once again. My mind drifted off to images of me and Aria and what had happened in such a short period of time, when her voice interrupted my thoughts.
"I don't want you to resign, I can't have you leave your job because of me, I could transfer out of your class," she said. We were both now lying on the couch hugged to each other.
"I guess we will have to keep this a secret, because I don't want you out of my class, I need at least one student that really likes what I teach" we shared a laugh and then I continue "But we really have to be careful, I don't want to loose you" I said honestly.
"Me neither" she said. Then she looked up and pressed her lips against mine, giving me a chaste kiss.
"You know its nearly three and I don't feel like eating anything right now, but I made popcorn we could have those if you want obviously" I said turning my head to look at her.
"Why didn't you say it before? I love popcorn! " she said as I got up from the sofa. I smirked at before answering.
"Well I was going to tell you when I opened the door but someone attacked me when she saw me, I didn't have time"
I got the popcorn out of the microwaved and opened the pouring them on a bowl. Then I grabbed two bears from the fridge and made my way back to the couch. She was now sitting with her legs crossed waiting for me.
"So now I "attacked" you?" She asked remarking the word attacked.
"Yes you did" I laughed "So TV or a movie?" I asked.
She was too distracted checking me out I don't think she even heard. I remembered I had to ask her about It Happened One Night and her knowing all the lines.
"You done admiring the view?" I joked as I sat down. I handed her a beer, she was eighteen and even though she was my student I knew she was mature enough.
"I am, thanks for asking and for the beer,Ó she said as she popped a handful of popcorn into her mouth. That was being honest, I thought.
"Remember last night when we started to see It Happened One Night?" I asked. She nodded and I talked again. "It wasn't the first time you've seen it wasn't it?"
"Its not, its actually one of my favorite movies, if not my favorite" she said. We had so much in common, just as if we were meant to. I had never known a woman that had so much in common with me and that had such effect on me in just a week. She was amazing.
"So? What do you want to do?" I asked. She stayed silent for a minute or so as we ate popcorn. A fact, I love popcorn. Then, she talked again.
"You ask I answer, I ask you answer, feel like it?" This could be good. I nodded as I had popcorn in my mouth. "Can I put some music on?" She asked.I nodded again and pointed two to stacks of CD's, one with an A on top an the other one with a B.
"A are movies and B are music albums, you can choose, but I don't guarantee you that you are going to now them" I said. She got up and walked to the CD's. After intensely analyzing each one of them she put one on.
The song started to play as she cane over again murmuring a "God I love this song." Happiness by The Fray was playing.
"B-26" I said. I loved this song too, so I knew exactly which number was in the pile. She nodded and smiled. An Idea popped into my head. "Dance with me" I said getting up and grabbing her by the waist.
She came closer to me, as we danced to the song like we were just one body. We were moving in perfect sync through out all the song. Neither of us saying anything, just enjoying the moment. As they song ended, she looked up, I looked down, and our lips met once again. A perfect sweet kiss, as we smiled into each other's lips.
"How about that game now?" I asked giving her another quick peck and pulling her to the couch. "So, you can start" I said.
"Okay" She said thinking about what to say. "Favorite color" "Pink" I answered. "Definitely pink"
"What!" She said as she burst into laughter. Obviously it wasn't true but it was funny. "Nah, just a joke. My favorite color is blue, very masculine," I said smirking at her.
"My turn, do you or did you have any pets? Names" I took a sip of beer and then some popcorn as I waited for her.
"Okay I had a cat named Mister Today when I was four and when he died we buried him in my backyard, I think he still is there"
"Why did you call him Mister Today?" I asked. She shook her head and then replied.
"I have no idea, I honestly don't remember why" she laughed. "Anyway that was two questions there sir, it's my turn"
She got a piece of popcorn and threw it to my face. I tried to catch it with my mouth but I failed miserably. I was normally really good at this.
"Throw another, I'll catch it, I'm a machine at this game" This time instead of throwing only one she threw a handful to my face, and once more I didn't catch any. She couldn't stop laughing as I cleaned my face full of salt from the popcorn.
"You told me to" she said holding her hands up as in defense. "Common it was my turn wasn't it?"
"It was, babe, but after that I get to ask again" I said taking the popcorn away from her.
As the game continued the questions went from stupid to absurd. But I had learned a lot of things about her. Her favorite color was purple, she had a smaller brother named Mike and she had spent one year abroad in Iceland, she loved coffee and as I already knew writing and reading, and last her birthday which was July 3rd.
The rest of the evening quickly passed by as we talked and watched TV. We ordered Chinese take out once again and after we had had or dinner we were cuddling in the couch like teenagers in love.
"Do you want to go to sleep now baby?" I asked her when I felt her yawn. She nodded and we both got up and headed to my bed.
"I'll bring you some more comfortable pants," I said. I went to my dresser and pick another if my pj's pants. When I headed back to the bed Aria was taking of her jeans. "Sorry" I said turning around when she saw me. It seemed she wasn't bothered by it.
"Don't worry," she said "Nothing you haven't seen before" she quoted me from our 'moment' in the bathroom yesterday. I turned around and handed her the pants as I checked her out from top to bottom. How did I get so lucky?
"Are you done admiring the view" once again she quoted me, this time it made me laugh.
"Yes I am, Oh and your clothes are ready for tomorrow if you want them" I said when I remembered.
"Thanks baby, but I'm keeping this," she said jumping into the bed and under the covers. I got into the bed with as we hugged each other. She had her arm over my chest as I hold her closed to me. Soon we both fall into a deep sleep, without worrying once through out all day if it was wrong or right. This could work.
PLLPLLPLLPLLPLLPLL
We both woke up with the repetitive noise of my phone ringing. Aria removed her hand from my chest and rolled around to face downwards.
"Don't pick that up, just leave it to voice mail" she said now holding the pillow over her head. I didn't pick up, I waited a few seconds until It finally went to voice mail.
"Uh Mister Fitz, this is Byron Montgomery, Aria's dad, I just wanted to thank you again for the other night's favor. My wife insisted for me to call you and to ask if you wanted to have dinner at our place tonight, to thank you. We are arriving in a few hours, you can call back when you hear this"
When we heard this we both shot up and sat straight looking at the phone.
Yes the message was there, it was true.
"This should be interesting" was the only thing that I could manage to say.
A/N: That was all! I really hope you enjoyed it, and please please review its so important for me to know what you think :) Thanks
