Ezra slowly woke up, yawning and stretching. He looked over and noticed that Aria was still sleeping. Aria. He really had been a jerk the night before and couldn't sleep just thinking about it. He figured he would have to make an effort to make things better with Aria. He slowly snuggled closer to her,pulling her closer to him. He started placing soft kisses on Aria's neck. As soon as Aria realized what was happening she shrugged him off.
"Aria." Ezra said softly. She didn't answer. "Aria. Look I'm sorry.I was a jerk. I got jealous. I should've made an effort to make him feel welcomed. I'm sorry."
"It's getting late. I'm gonna go wake up the girls." Aria replied completely ignoring Ezra's apology. Before Ezra could say anything else, Aria left. He knew how much Aria hated it when he acted that way yet he let his jealousy take over him. Knowing how stubborn Aria was, he knew it wouldn't be easy to make her forgive him.
"Girls, breakfast will be ready in 5 minutes." Aria called from the kitchen. Aria setting the table when she heard Ezra coming in.
"Need any help?" Ezra asked.
"Nope." Aria replied still avoiding him.
"Aria. Will you stop. I said I was sorry."
"Ezra, you don't get it. I invited Jakob to make him feel welcomed. He doesn't have anyone here in Rosewood. I was trying to be a nice and helpful friend and then you have to ruin it and make him feel uncomfortable with your death glares and silence. I was really counting on you to be friendly yesterday but you're obviously not capable of doing that." Aria finally said.
"Aria. I'm sorry. I know I was a jerk, but if you could see the way he looked at you. The way he flirted."
"He didnt flirt!" Aria yelled.
"Ok. Whatever. I tried to keep calm and apologize But that's obviously not working. I will tell you the truth. I despise him. Sure he may seem nice and all to you because you don't see what us men do. He was checking you out all night, When he got here, he thought you were single, meaning he wanted something more with you." Ezra yelled back.
"You're pathetic." Aria shook her head.
"Pathetic? You know what. Let's just stop. I'm not gonna let him ruin our relationship. I apologize for being a jerk. Please forgive me." Ezra said. "Aria?" he begged. She remained silent. "Ar-"
"Mommy! Daddy!" Ezra was cut off by Sophie's screams "Come. Hurry." They both sprinted to the living room.
"Baby is everything alright?" Aria said rushing over to Sophie.
"Look Mommy." Sophie pointed. "Tyler's walking." Aria turned and tears filled her eyes as she watched her baby boy take his first steps. Ezra picked him up and spun him around.
"Daddy's so proud." Ezra said kissing his walked over to Aria. "Here go with Mommy."
"Ty,you're so big now. I love you." Aria said before putting him back down.
"Can you believe he's walking?" Ezra said excitedly.
"Yeah." Aria replied simply, clearly still angry.
"Aria please." He pulled her in closer to him.
"Breakfast is ready." She replied almost immediately pulling away. The rest of the morning was filled with silence and tension between the two.
Aria walked into the teachers lounge for her daily cup of coffee. She was pouring herself a cup when she heard someone behind her.
"Hey." She smiled when she saw Jakob.
"Good morning. How are you?"
"Good. Just a bit tired."
"Listen, thanks again for dinner last night. I hope I didn't cause trouble. Your husband doesn't seem to like me much."
"It's nothing personal. He's just somewhat shy. And he just had a busy day at work."
"I don't want to cause any prob-"
"Jakob, it's fine. So how are you liking it here so far?"
"I love it. I'm so glad you're helping me around. I can't believe how much you've changed over these past years. I mean. You're married and with kids."
"Yeah, you've changed too. I remember you at least 3 inches shorter." Aria laughed.
"I can't believe we lost touch for 10 years."
"Yeah, me either."
"Well now here we are. We can continue our friendship." He said. Aria smiled.
"Well class is about to begin, I'll see you around."
"Bye."
Aria spent the rest of the day thinking about Ezra. Maybe she was being a bit stubborn. He had apologized several times. And to be honest she hated being mad at him. Sure, he'd been a jerk to Jakob, but as much as she hated it when he got jealous, she had to admit it was quite cute. She just wanted to go home and fix things with him.
Aria was playing with Tyler when she heard the front door open.
"Daddy."
"Hey. How was school?" Ezra asked his daughter.
"Fun. I was line leader today." Sophie stated proudly.
"That great." Ezra noticed that Aria had left the living room. "I'll be back." He walked into the kitchen and noticed her fixing everything up for dinner.
"Hey." He awkwardly said.
"Hey." Aria replied before walking over and giving him a soft kiss. "I'm sorry."
"No, I'm sorry. I got jealous and was a jerk. It wont happen again." Aria kissed him once again.
"I hate being mad at you." She whispered.
"I hate it too. So should we eat?" Aria nodded. Soon everyone was seated at the table.
"Daddy, someone named Jackie says hi." Sophie said.
"Jackie?"
"Mhm. She's Natalie's Nanny and she said she's a really good friend of yours."
"Did she say anything else?"
"Uh-uh. She just said I was cute and looked just like you."
"Sophie I don't want you talking to her. Ok?" Aria warned.
"Why Mommy?"
"Just don't ok. Listen to Mommy."
"Ok."
"Should we be worried about Jackie being around Sophie?" Aria asked getting comfortable under the covers.
"I don't think so. She shouldn't be a threat."
"I guess you're right. I just don't like the idea of Jackie being around our daughter."
"Babe. Don't worry about it."
"Ok. Good night."
"Night. I love you."
"I love you too." Within minutes they both fell sound asleep.
