Hello! Once again, I don't own anything PLL RELATED. That is all.

He pulled out the pizza from the brick oven and before he could put it on a plate I asked him to put it in a to-go box. I suddenly knew where I needed to be. I handed Antonio the money and grabbed the pizza. I smiled while I walked under the lampposts headed to the perfect place to spend my Saturday evening.

While walking down Rosewood in the middle of the night, may scare some girls my age. I however, loved it. It was just so calm. There was nobody there to judge you. No posh ladies with their swanky purses staring at you for wearing mini leather skirts and boots and no guys were there either. It was great.

I smiled when I walked up to the industrial building and rang myself in.

I stepped into the shower and began to wash my face. It was a long, boring day and I couldn't wait to go back to sleep. It meant I was close to seeing Aria that afternoon. Just as I had rinsed away all the shampoo in my hair, there was a knock on my door. Crap.

"Just a minute!" I called towards the door while I scrambled out of the shower. I grabbed my robe and went to open the door. Who on earth would be knocking at close to midnight?

When I opened the door, I saw Aria standing there looking beautiful in a dress with her hair all nice and a box of pizza. I pulled her in and closed the door.

She looked at me in my robe and laughed, "Surprise!"

"What are you doing here? I thought we decided on noon not midnight." I said while running my fingers through my still damp hair.

"I know, but I wasn't comfortable somewhere, so I got pizza, and I ended up here." She said with a smile, but when she noticed I was really returning the emotions she wanted she began to back up towards the door. "You know I can leave and go back. I'll just wait at Hanna's till the girls get there." She had her hand on the doorknob before I grabbed it.

"No way, just hold on. Let me get dressed." I said while she sat on the couch.

I came out ten minutes later in my old vneck shirt and flannel pajama pants. I sat on the couch next to her and put my arm around her. She leaned against me and sighed.

"What happened tonight Aria?"

"Nothing really. I was at Noel's party with Hanna, Spencer, and Emily. I needed some air so I left and came here."

"You walked a mile for fresh air?" I laughed and she lightly pinched me.

"You make me feel safe."

"Oh, the irony." I shook my head.

"What? You do!" she said and looked up at me.

"I know, but technically this is considered not safe and wrong in most countries. Yet, I love this, us. You know why?"

"Why?" she said while situating herself on my lap/

"Because Aria, you, are so worth it," I said while pulling her closer to me.

She bit her lip and gave me this look. I knew she loved that last sentence and was now debating something. Before I could rack her brain about, her lips crashed onto mine. I grabbed her neck and pulled her closer to me. While she whispered in my ear random things, I began to kiss down her jaw to her ear to her neck. The smoothness of her skin had changed though. She had almost like a welt on her neck. I pulled away and pushed her hair aside.

She tried to cover it back up and get off of my lap, but I held her still with one hand while the other moved her hair. It was a hickey. How in the heck did she have a hickey on her neck?

"Aria…?" I asked confused, but I was beginning to grow jealous. I thought we were together; well together as we could be in this situation.

"Ezra, please don't be mad at me. Please." I looked at her eyes and they were beginning to tear up.

"I'm not mad, I just need to know. Is this why you left the party?"

She sighed and pushed off of me till she was at the edge of the couch. She laid her legs across my lap and handed me a slice of pizza while she grabbed her own. I knew she wasn't stalling, just trying to find the right words. While she bit her lip, I looked at her. She was absolutely gorgeous. Her brown wavy hair, her eyes, her nose, her lips, her hips, her legs, and her arms were gorgeous.

Finally she spoke.

"Okay don't be mad at me, but you know how I was at that party at Noel's? Well, I can't have people getting suspicious on where I am all the time, so I have decided to lead him on still. He totally believes him and I are a couple, which we aren't. It just helps as a cover-up, you know?" She looked at me and I nodded to her questions and for her to go on. "Well, we were dancing and he gave me this welt. I pushed him off of me and he apologized. Then he went in for tongue, and I had had enough. So I left." She sighed and looked back at me before picking at her black nail polish on her thumb. "I'm such a whore."

"Aria, you are not a whore." I said and pulled her closer to me. I stroked her hair. "You could never be, but if you want to date someone your own age without complications you should. It wouldn't be this complicated."

"I don't Ezra. I couldn't. I love you."

"I love you too, but it might just be right until you head off to college."

"Stop sounding so grown up!" She whispered with a tone of irritation in her voice.

"But, I am. You are just a chi—"

She got off the couch and stood in front of me. "Don't you dare call me a child Ezra Fitz. More than anything right now you are the child! You know this is right and perfect. Don't deny us that." She said while her voiced quivered.

"You're right. I'm sorry. I just worry all the time if this is right." I said while pulling her on top of me.

"Please don't. You make me so happy, you have no idea. Right now you are the best thing in my life." She said while giving me a light kiss. With that the discussion was over and we had moved on.

I opened my eyes and looked at the clock, Aria was still in my lap playing with my hair. "Aria, it's 12:30 you should probably go back to Hanna's house." I whispered in her ear.

She mumbled and then sighed. She got off of my lap and sighed. "Fine." She gave me one last kiss and then grabbed her purse to go.

I grabbed her arm and turned her around, "Where are you going?"

"To Hanna's," she said with a tone of confusion.

"I can't let you walk a mile back at this time, I'll drive you." I held her hand while we walked through my apartment building. The good thing about this place was there were no security cameras and the other tenants were old people who were asleep by 8. I opened the car door for her and then got in.

The ride to Hanna's was quiet except for when Aria told me when to turn. Her hand was intertwined with mine, and I just couldn't stop smiling. I dropped her off at the house next to Hanna's. She gave me a quick kiss and a thank you then ran to the back.

"Bye and thanks Ezra." I whispered to him while giving him a good night kiss.

Then I ran to the backyard and opened the basement door. I walked into an ambush. The lights turned on and Hanna was right next to me. Spencer and Emily on the couch, their arms crossed with a look of relief on their faces. However, Hanna looked pissed.

"Hey guys, great party huh?" I said while walking in.

"Where the hell have you been?" Hanna said to me in a tone that I knew I would be doing some explaining real shortly.

What do you all think about this chapter? It would surely make my day if you could review!
