CHAPTER 8
A/N: So here is the new chapter. This starts from where it left before the flashback one. I hope you enjoy :)
As the boys walked away I kept eating the food I had left. I could feel the girls smirking at me and as soon as the boys were out Ezra wrapped me in his arms as he kissed my forehead. He was hugging me so hard that I could barely breath. I tapped his arm and he looked down at me.
"Ez I cant breath" I whispered as I could.
"Sorry" he said as he lighten his grip on my but he didn't let me go. "Are you okay?" He asked as he run his thumb caressing my check. I nodded as we both stared into each others eyes, he leaned down and kissed me. We kept kissing until we heard giggles behind our backs followed by an "Owwww" from the girls. I gave him one last peck as the bell rung. We all got up, my hand in his as we walked out. The five of us stopped on the door as Ezra was heading another way.
"If you hurt her" said Hanna as the other two took a step forward.
"We will kill you" they said in unison. Ezra gave them a smile.
"I wont" he said. I looked back at him and smiled. I gave him a peck on the lips before I moved next to the girls.
"The old Aria is back" said Spencer hugging me. And it was true. I was done being always the poor little puppy. We said goodbye to Ezra and headed to our next and last class.
During the whole period I had been staring at my watch begging for it to go quicker. I couldn't wait to see Ezra. He was perfect, and I felt it. I saw it too but it just physically. I was falling for Ezra once again quick and hard just like a few years ago. I was falling for his words, his actions, his kisses... God I missed him so much already.
Through out the whole class the girls kept throwing paper ball at me. A paper airplane hit my head when the teacher was writing something in the blackboard. I got it and looked at Hanna sticking out my tongue. I opened the paper and saw Hanna's drawing. It said "Ezra and Aria" inside a pink highlighter heart. I sighed and smiled putting the drawing inside my folder. I felt myself blush and they I heard Hanna giggle. The teacher turned too look at her.
"Mrs Marin care to share what so funny with the rest of your peers?" He said seriously. Hanna shook her head. "Well then don't disturb my class with your jokes"
She nodded. "Sorry Mr Graham, it wont happen again" she said looking down. I knew she was about to laugh again and was trying hard not to.
The rest of the class went by smoothly with no more distractions. When the bell rung the girls came next to me even before I had time to pack.
"You are coming to Spencer's. Were sleeping there" stated Hanna smiling.
"We want details" said Spencer.
"About Fitzy" finished Emily.
I laughed as I closed my bag and threw it over my right arm. "Did you practice this when i wasn't looking?" I asked as I walked out of the class.
"Ha Ha, funny" said Spencer. "You're obliged to" the other two nodded. I did too. "We going to our lockers are you coming?" Hanna asked. I shook my head.
"I'll wait outside, I want to see Ezra" I said as I started to make my way toward the door.
"By the way you look great in his jacket" screamed Hanna from behind me. I hugged it to my body as I blushed again.
The halls were empty as everyone was already outside talking to their friends and heading home. I as walked out I looked for Ezra and spot him leaning in his car on the parking lot where he had left it this morning. He looked good, very good. He hand his hands in his pockets and you could noticed his toned chest pressed against the fabric of the sweatshirt. He gave me his boyish smile and waved. I waved back as I made my way towards him.
I left my backpack on the floor, before I could look up he hands were around my waist pulling me closer to him. As soon as I could react I brought him closer wrapping my arms around his neck. We leaned forward as we kissed passionately. I played with his hair. I could feel his tongue trace my bottom lip and I opened it to let him slip it inside, but not before biting his lip gently. I smiled into the kiss when he got hold of my back and leaned me towards the floor, just like in movies. We he brought he back up we broke the kiss needing air and I giggled.
"What was that for?" I asked pulling back a bit so I could look into his big blue eyes. He didn't let go of the grip he had on my waist. He smiled and shrugged.
"I missed you too much" He replied. He caressed my check as he pulled a strand of hair behind my ear and the put his hand on my waist again. "How about a movie at mine, I can make popcorn"
"I cant" I said. His expression turned to happy to confused. "The girls said they are kidnapping me so I give them 'details'" I said as I made the sign with my fingers and then run then through his messy hair. I could see his sad expression as he pouted. I kissed his pout and then pulled back to caressed his check as he had done with mine earlier.
"You are beautiful" he whispered before closing the gap that was between us once again. This time it was slow and sweet savoring each part of each others lips. We kept kissing and smiling as we heard the people whistle as the walked past us. That was until we heard coughs just next to us.
"Lovebirds you sure you had lunch today? You seem pretty hungry" said Hanna. We pulled away and I couldn't help but blush and look at Ezra that was smirking.
"You look cute when you blush" he whispered in my ear and then gave me a peck. "Girls, you are making me hate you"
"And why is that Fitzy?" Asked Spencer laughing at him. Hanna stuck her tongue at him and I couldn't help but laugh at her childish behavior.
"You keep stealing my girl" he said remarking the word 'my'. "Its not fair" he said. He brought me closer to him as if I was his treasure. I looked up to him to see he was completely serious. No trace of laughing could be found.
"Don't worry, we wont steal her so much. You can take her till 6" said Emily to Ezra before turning to face me. "Don't be late or we will actually go and look for you" I nodded and raised my hands in defeat. The second after they were walking away.
I leaned against the car and pulled Ezra with me. I kissed him softly but the kiss soon turned heated just like the other times before. He stopped and kissed my check before making his way to the driver's seat leaving me outside. I got inside and pouted. "Why did you stop?" I asked.
"If we keep making out we are never going to be able to get a coffee. I know you cant keep your hands off me but you have to try" He replied teasing me. He gave me a wink and a side way grin and then we headed towards the brew.
"I cant keep my hands from you? Try the other way baby" I told him and he looked at me smirking.
"Okay, lets see which one can spend more time without touching each other." He said. I nodded. "What do you want to loose?"
"Okay when you loose you are going to have to carry my stuff around high school for.. Two days" I told him smiling. I wasn't going to loose. I was going to prove to him I wasn't the baby girl he thought I was.
"Same goes for you" he said as he found a parking stop in front of the brew. He got down and opened my door. He handed me his hand but I crossed the road not touching him. He smirked and followed me.
We ordered our coffees and sat on the first table we saw free. The conversation flew easily as always but never touching each other. I knew he wanted to, I could see it in his eyes. He kept running his hands through his hair and I couldn't help but chuckle. In that moment someone walking in caught my eye. He made his way to ask for his coffee stopping in front of me.
"Hey Aria" he said. Before I could stop myself I was checking him out. He was taller, wearing skinny jeans and s blue sweater on. His hair was also longer. He looked good. "Hey Jason" I said smiling. "I didn't know you were back" Jason had gone a year ago to start college in New York when his dad found a lawyer position there. I heard he came back alone to finish his career at Hollis but I didn't think it was true, until now.
"I am, you look great by the way" he said smiling. "We should catch up sometime, you have my phone" he said. He gave me a kiss on the check and walk to make his order. I was left there blushed and shocked. What the hell was happened?
When I looked at Ezra he had this angry expression and his fists close together. "Who was that?" He asked me trying to show no feelings but failed miserably. He was jealous.
"That was Jason" I told him calmly. "You probably saw him before but he has changed, a lot. He went to New York for a year and he is back" I said looking down at my coffee. I knew I was blushing. I has always had this secret crush on Jason, and we he left I thought I was never going to see him again. Although back then, two years ago, I was already in love with Ezra, I just didn't knew. There was no way anyone was ever going to compare to how I feel about him. I love him, with all my soul. I wondered if I should tell him..
I looked back at him and he still had this kind off angry expression. He was looking over my shoulder. "What?" I asked getting a little frustrated with his behavior. I turned around I saw that Jason was looking at me. Ezra was now looking at his cup or outside through the window. "Why are you jealous?"
"I'm not jealous" he mumbled without looking at me. He got his phone out and started to play with it.
"Ezra look at me" I said. He mumbled something so quietly I didn't even get to hear it. Now I was actually angry at him. I finished my coffee and stood up.
"I'm leaving" I said as I put his jacket on and got my backpack from the side of the chair. His eyes shot up as soon as I said that and he stood up as well stepping in front of me.
"Sorry" he said. He knew he had screwed up. Specially when he got out his phone. I shook my hand. My hands were across my chest and I was still giving him my angry look. He moved closer to me, inches from each other. "Forgive me" he whispered.
I sighed and uncrossed my arms. Before I could look up at him his lips we on mine and he was pulling me closer. I kissed him back smiling, I broke the kiss and got hold of his hand. "You just lost"
"Its not fair!" He said pouting. "I forgot" We crossed the street and sat on a bench in the park.
"If you wouldn't have been such a kid inside there maybe you would have remembered our deal" I told him. He crossed his arms and looked at me pouting again. So cute. He looked like a small child begging for a lollipop.
"I wasn't behaving like a child, but that guy didn't take his eyes from you! He gave you a kiss, ignoring me completely, I wanted to punch him so hard! Who does he think he is?" He said clearly frustrated.
"A friend" I told him. I got closer to him until I was sitting on his lap. He hold me by the waist as I played with his hair. "Ezra, I just want you. You, are all I could think about every second of the day. And im yours, only yours" I said.
He smiled and kissed me sweetly. Yes, I was absolutely in love with this man, if you could call him that. I chuckled when we broke the kiss needed air and hugged him. We stayed like that for a little while until we got up and started playing in the park as little kids.
When it was time to go Ezra offered to get me home so I could get some clothes as it was a sleep over and then he drove me to Spencer's. I gave him one last kiss before getting my things and out the car. The girls were already waiting for me at the door. I looked back and smiled at Ezra before he drove away.
The girls quickly pulled me upstairs and into Spencer's room. The four of us sat on her bed as she handed each one a beer. "My mum is not home" she explained. We all took a sip and the the four of the turned to stare at me.
"Details" said Emily. "What details? Girls there are no details." I said looking through the window.
"Aria are you going to make me call Ezra and ask him, or force you to tell me or are you just going to tell us" said Hanna. The three of us laughed.
"Okay what do you want to know?" I said giving up. They started to whisper and I shook my head.
"When did this happen? Yesterday you were avoiding him all day and we we talked before you just said 'we are dating'" said Spencer.
"Okay so we talked, and i gave him a second chance, so he picked me up and took me to the movies, my favorite movie was on—" I started to explain before Hanna interrupted me.
"How cute" she said clapping her hands "he actually gave it a thought"
"If you interrupt again I swear I'm not saying anything" I said wanted to get this out of the way already. She nodded and I continued. "After he took me to the movies we went home. He didn't make a move he just gave me a kiss on the check and said goodbye." I stopped and took a sip of my beer laughing when seeing all the impatient stares on me.
"I was walking back to his car and I couldn't stop thinking how sorry he had looked at school and how perfect were the two dates, so I stopped him. And kissed him and the run back but he got hold of my arm, spin me around and kissed me. He asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes" I said finishing my beer.
"You're so cute!" Shouted Hanna bouncing in the bed.
Emily and Spencer gave me a hug. "You deserve to be happy but I swear I will kill him if he hurts you" said Spencer.
"I ship Ezria" said Hanna suddenly. We looked at her confused. "Ezra and Aria! They make Ezria" we all laughed.
"Wait, you didn't tell us about your first date" said Emily.
I smiled. "I will need another beer first" I told them. Spencer came upstairs a few minutes later holding some more beers.
I told them everything about our first date and all the details. What we had talked the day before and how he asked me for a second chance. I told them why I had his jacket and about the Jason thing and now, a few hours later they were all asleep in Spencer's bed.
I didn't know why but I just couldn't sleep. I got my phone and saw I had no texts or calls. It was nearly midnight and I supposed Ezra was asleep but I didn't loose anything for trying. I send him a text and waited for his reply.
EZRA'S POV
It was nearly midnight and I was laying in my bed thinking about Aria. I didn't know you could miss someone so much in such a period of time. I hadn't hear from her since I had dropped her off. I finally decided that she was probably asleep. I blocked my phone and placed it under mi pillow. As soon as I closed my eyes my phone rung. I smiled spread across my face when I saw who it was. I opened the message.
*I miss you baby*
I smiled even more and typed a reply.
*Me too.. I was going to go to sleep thinking about you, but I'm much more awake now*
*Which part of you is now awake?*
I chuckled with her reply. I wish I could be with her right now.
*Don't tease me baby... Anyway, how was your chat with the girls?*
*Its was good! The love Ezria*
He reply came instantly. i read confused as I didn't now what she meant.
*Ezria?*
*Ezra + Aria = Ezria*
*That's cute*
*You're cute*
I blushed and smiled like an idiot to my phone screen. I knew she smiling too. I wrote back.
*I should re-send that too you beautiful*
*I wont tease if you stop making me blush baby... Did you have the chance to talk to the boys?*
*No but I don't think the want to. They probably think Ezria was a secret and now they are going to ignore me and keep everything from me as payback.*
I kept thinking about that. I hated when the boys were so immature and I couldn't stand their behavior.
*It wasn't a secret, anyway I thought you guys didn't keep secrets from each other*
*Everyone has a secret that no one knows about*
In my case all of my secrets the boys knew and I hope they didn't tell anyone. Although what I had done wasn't exactly my fault I couldn't explain all my actions to Aria, and now that we were together I prefer those secrets to stay on the low for a while more. Then the secret that no one knew she kind of knows now. That I love her.
They I thought about if I should tell Aria about what I had done, what made those years horrible for her. I didn't want her to find out by someone else but I didn't want to loose her just yet. The ping on my phone made me snap back to reality.
*What's yours?*
*My what?*
*Your secret*
