It's been days since that night Ezra and Aria have been out to dinner.
"Hey babe." Madison said walking through the door with her suitcases.
"Uh, Hi." Ezra said taking his head out of his hands.
"Look we need to talk." He told her
"I know, you haven't called me like you said. I know you got a lot of things going on with your life now but I think we can make it work." She told him
"No, I think we should break up. I still love her and always will and I don't want to string you along." He said without looking at her
Madison didn't say anything she just started taking her stuff and walked out the door.
"Ill come back and grab my things when your not here." She said then left
Ezra felt like an ass but he couldn't keep living with Madison when he was in love with Aria. He knew he wanted Aria back and he defiantly wanted to keep Sophie in his life.
Aria was in her sweatpants and Hollis pullover sweater. She wore it even though Ezra left her. It was comfy and smelled liked him even if she washed it.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Spencer and Toby was there with a big box.
"Is Sophia home we got her a little present?" Toby said
"Little huh? I'm afraid to see what you think is big. And yes she's home. She's in her room." Aria told him
Spencer called out to Sophia. "Sophia we got you a present."
Sophia rushed right out the door, " a pwesent for me. You shouldn't have." She said jokingly
"Okay, we'll just go return it then." Toby said jokily back
"No, I want it. What is it?" Sophia asked
"Why don't you open and see?" Spencer said
Toby and Sophia were both excited and started ripping the wrapping paper.
"A Princess car, I love it." She told them.
Sophia jumped into Toby's arms and thanked him then did the same with Spencer.
"Your welcome princess. We love you too."
Aria mouthed Spencer, "Why you get that?"
Spencer just pointed towards Toby, "his idea."
Toby loved Sophia as his own child and she was the only baby in the family so he spoiled her as much as he could. All of Aria's friends did.
"Do you want to go out and ride this baby?"
Sophia jumped up and down excitedly then ran out the door, "I'll take that as a yes." Toby said running out of the house with the car in his hands."
Spencer and Aria sat in the kitchen catching up.
"So have you seen him since that night?" Spencer got straight to it
"Nope, I don't know what say to him. He told me he still loves me and we kissed."
"Why didn't you tell him you love him back? Spencer asked
"I can't tell him I love him, that I want to be with him. He has a girlfriend and I don't want to be the other girl. I can't be the other girl, I want to be the girl." Aria started crying she couldn't take it anymore. She's been too strong for too long.
Spencer sat silently pulling Aria into her arms.
"Shh.. I'm sorry I didn't mean to push. I just care about you. Team Sparia remember."
Aria stifled a little laugh
"Always." She replied
The Next Day
Aria and Sophia were walking down the street towards to grab coffee and hot chocolate. They were having a mommy and daughter day and they needed to get energized.
"HOT CHOCOLATE MOMMA!" Sophie said loudly and excitedly after getting their drinks they were going to get their nails done.
"Okay, I got it." Aria told her
The guy at the counter turned around and smiled at Aria.
"Hey, haven't seen you around before?" the guy said
"I just moved back. Can I just a kids hot chocolate and grande soy milk latte." Aria replied
The guy didn't give up. "Sure, and can I have your name and number?"
Aria looked at him seriously, "I'm sorry, no."
"Come on, just one date." He begged a little
"No, I'm sorry. I can't." She replied
"And why not?" he asked
"Can I just get my coffee?" she asked
Ezra just walked in and stood there listening in on their conversation.
"Not until you agree to go on a date." The guy was really pissing Aria off
"I'm. Not. Going. On. A. Date. With. You." She said firmly and pronouncing each word.
Ezra walked up to Aria and Sophia. "Hi Princess, Hi mommy." He said smiling. He wanted to show the guy she was off limits even if they weren't together."
"Hi hunnie, I was trying to get my coffee and hot chocolate before our mommy/ daughter day and this guy keeps asking me out." She replied playing along.
"Can you just give my wife her coffee or do I need to speak with your manager?" Ezra told the guy
The guy walked over to the espresso machine and did as he said. When the guy was out of earshot Aria looked at Ezra.
"Wife huh? Nice one Fitz."
"I just said tat so he would stop bothering you. So what are you two up to?" he asked
"We're going to get our nails done and then dinner." Aria told while grabbing the coffee out his hand. Ezra handed Sophia her coffee and grabbed her hand.
"Can I join you?" he asked
"You want to get your nails done, wow you really changed." She said jokingly
"HAHA, No. Can I join you two for dinner?" He asked
"I don't know? Sophia should daddy join us for dinner later?" she asked knowing what her daughter would say.
"Yes, yes yes!" She hasn't seen her dad in a while and she really missed him
"Then we will see you at 7 tonight at The Grille." Aria told him
"I guess you will." He replied
