I don't own anything

Ezra's POV

I woke up in the morning when my alarm clock set off on my nightstand. I slammed it shut and looked at the clock; 6.00am. I turned around and saw Aria sleeping soundly in my bed, tightly wrapped in the covers. I smiled and pressed a light kiss on her forehead. It felt like a dream, but thank God it wasn't one. It was real. I couldn't tear my eyes off her; I couldn't stop thinking about how perfect she was. Just the fact she forgave me was enough to prove she was a perfect, good person. I've never met a girl like her before, Aria's incredible. Everything in her is real, she doesn't pretend to be anything she isn't.

However I had to get up and take a shower so I could do everything before I'd have to wake Elena up. When I'd got to drink my coffee and eat my breakfast I put Elena's toasts into the toaster and went to shake her awake. I turned the dim lamp on her nightstand on and sat on the edge of her bed. I stroked her soft, blonde hair for a few seconds and gently said her name. Gradually she started to open her eyes and she yawned tiredly.

"Ezra I'm tired" She muttered and rubbed her eyes. "I miss mom."

"I know, sweetheart. I promise she'll be here very soon" I told her tenderly. "Come here" I continued and lifted her into my arms.

I carried her into the kitchen and prepared the toasts I'd put into toaster earlier. When she had finished eating she got dressed in the clothes mom had fortunately chosen for her before. We still had a few moments until we'd have to leave so I turned on TV and let Elena watch Looney Tunes for a while. I left her alone for a minute while I sneaked into my room where Aria was still sleeping. I walked towards the bed and pressed a kiss on her delicate lips.

"Morning" She hummed and smiled slightly. "What time is it?"

"Morning" I said and nuzzled her face. "Half past seven. I'm about to take Elena to school. I wanted to see you one last time though" I told her while I was stroking her naked body like I had done last night. I could remember every detail and curve in her body. I remembered how she reacted to every touch and how her body had made me get on fire. Yesterday wasn't only about sex, it was making love. Last night was so intensive.

15 minutes later I left the house to take Elena to school and when I'd done that, I went back home. I opened the front door and smelled a scent of fresh coffee. I walked further and saw Aria hustling about wearing my white shirt that was buttoned up. It was big for her, but not big enough to cover her black, lacy underwear. She looked so sexy.

"Hi" She said and got to her tip toes when she reached for a coffee cup from the cabinet.

"Hi" I replied and hugged her from behind. I nuzzled my head into the back of her neck and started pressing kisses there. Aria leaned against me and tilted her head so I could do the same on her neck. I found her sensitive spot and sucked on it. A low moan escaped her lips and the more I sucked the more she moaned. I loved to hear and know that she liked what I was doing to her. I lifted her into my arms and put her down on the kitchen island. I looked into her hazel eyes and how her silky soft, dark hair had fallen beautifully on either side of her face.

"You're beautiful" I told her. "I've never met anyone like you before." Se kissed me passionately and wrapped her arms around my neck. The kiss deepened and my tongue brushed softly against her lip for entrance. Soon our tongues brushed each other when my member started stirring and I pressed her harder against me so she could feel it as well. I don't know how she does it, no other girl had ever influenced me like this before. No-one had had a power like this over me, but Aria's got me. I started to unbutton the white shirt and groaned loudly when I realised she wasn't wearing bra. My mouth wandered to her small, round breasts that I started to nibble and suck on.

"Oh God" She gasped.

"Every part of your body is perfect" I told her hungrily and pressed my and against her wet folds.

"Please Ezra, do it" She begged. "I need it, I want to feel your touch" She said huskily. I took her knickers off and pushed two fingers inside her. I knew how much she wanted it and how turned on she was so I started to move them in and out fast until she came.

"You're so good at that" She said breathlessly.

"Only because of you" I murmured. "Hearing you moan and seeing your body writhe makes me do all this." Aria leaned her head against my shoulder. "How can anyone be as good a person as you are? You forgave me when I was the biggest idiot in the world. You're perfect with all your traits" I told her sincerely.

"I haven't always been like this. I haven't been an open and forgiving person. I've been hard and cold, been able to hide my feelings. Then you came into my life and changed that part completely" Aria replied quietly. I couldn't believe she would be hard and cold by nature; someone had had to do something to her.

"What made you a hard and cold person?" I asked her cautiously.

"Many things" She said avoiding the question.

"Is it the reason you want to be stuck in Rosewood?" I asked her.

"Maybe" She lifted her head and looked at me. "But I don't know if I'm ready to talk about it" She said tenderly.

"You don't have to, I understand" I said and hugged her close. What were the things she kept to herself? What had happened to make her hard and cold?

Aria's POV

I'm so happy that Ezra and I got the chance to spend the night together. We got to sleep in each others' arms and show intimacy we couldn't sow to anyone else. Not no matter how hard we'd try. I care about him so much. When he touched me it feels like a hundred butterflies flew in my stomach. How did this happen? This wasn't supposed to happen to me. I wasn't supposed to have a crush. There was no love in my life. But whenever I'm with Ezra, it feels like all those claims are proved wrong. He changed my life, he changed me. I used to think the world was an evil place where wasn't room for anything good, I wasn't like this. Ezra brought out all my weaknesses, but also my strengths. I couldn't believe I just told him what I was like before him. I hadn't trust people, especially not men. But for some reason I trust him. I don't know how he did this, it scares me but at the same time I'm happy about it.

We were sitting in their living room, watching telly on their sofa when I realised I should go to pick up Elena. I stood up but Ezra grabbed my hand gently and pulled me back down.

"Where are you going?" He asked and nuzzled into me.

"I need to pick up Elena" I said as my fingers moved across his face.

"Take a day off. I'll look after her" He told me gently.

"No I can't, I promised to take care of her in the afternoon."

"Take it Aria, you deserve it. It's on me and Elena" He smiled and kissed me.

"Thanks" I whispered and snuggled against his side for a little while longer. Soon we both had to leave though, Ezra to pick up Elena and I to finally go home. I walked towards our house and saw Spencer, Emily and Hanna sit on our porch.

"Hi there" I said happily and walked to them. "What are you doing here?" I asked them while I searched for my keys in my bag.

"We were worried about you" Emily said.

"Yeah, you weren't in school and didn't answer your phone" Hanna cut in.

"There's nothing wrong" I said casually.

"I think there's something going on" Spencer stated in a voice that suggested she was pissed at me for telling mom I was staying at hers. "Why else would you tell your mom you were staying at mine and then don't appear in school?" She said, confirming my suspicions.

"I'm sorry, I should've talked to you before doing anything. It was an emergency" I said apologetically.

"An emergency?" She asked sceptically.

"If you weren't at home then where were you?" Emily asked bemused.

"Uhm… I-" I stuttered, the words stammering in my mouth.

"You were with the guy you didn't want to talk about" Hanna grinned widely.

"A guy?" Spencer and Emily asked in unison.

"You two are so stupid sometimes" Hanna said rolling her eyes. "Aria didn't stay the night at home or didn't go to school. Of course she was with a guy! So, who is the charmer?" She asked me.

"His name's Ezra" I blurted out, and couldn't take the words back even though I wanted to.

"And who is this Ezra?" Spencer asked.

"Elena's big brother. He goes to college in Philadelphia" I told them nervously.

"What?" It was Emily this time.

"Are you lost it completely?" Spencer demanded incredulously.

"Oh, thanks for your courtesy Spence, but do you think I planned this?" I asked her annoyed.

"No, I didn't mean it like that. But you can lose your job" She answered.

"You can't tell anyone, right?" I said.

To my relief they all promised not to say anything. Ezra and I were still forbidden; we aren't allowed to do this. But something tells otherwise. I want to be with him, and I know he wants to be with me. Spencer was right, I could lose my job the minute we would get caught. It was crazy, but worth it all.

"We're not blaming you for anything, you know what you're doing" Emily said reassuringly.

"If you ask me it's romantic and exciting all at the same time" Hanna piped in still grinning.

"I don't what it is but it feels good" I admitted.

"Are you sure you can do this after everything that happened with Jake?" Spencer asked sounding worried.

"Ezra's different" I told her firmly.

He had to be. Otherwise I'd lose more than my job. I'd lose my heart.

All four of us went inside and spent the rest of the day together. We made coffee and started to play monopoly that we played for at least the following four hours. The day off Ezra gave me was well needed. It had been ages since the last time we had got to be together.

I'm not sure about this chapter myself, but I hope you liked it. :)
