Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with PLL
Ezra's POV:
I stood there frozen, unable to speak or see anything in front of me. Aria, had asked me a direct question that I couldn't answer. How can I tell Aria, the truth with divorce papers in her hand. All the balls were in her court.
"Aria" Marie called from behind her and I closed my eye's thanking her for good timing. "I just wanted to see if you were okay? I didn't mean to scare you off." She gave Aria a hug.
Aria, smiled "It's alright. Just a moment of weakness." Aria, looked at me "Are you okay?"
I nodded frantically "I really have to use the bathroom. I think three cups of wine and two glasses of ice water is finally catching up to me." I smiled "You two go ahead, I will catch up."
"Are you sure?" Aria looked at me quizzically
I nodded "I promise, go on."
I sighed and turned around, To see Heidi smirking at me. "I knew you'd like to have a word." She started to laughed and pinned me against the wall.
"What the hell are you doing?" I hissed and pinned her hands over her head "Don't ever come near my wife or kids."
"I love this position" Heidi, said pressing her lips on me catching me off guard
"What the fuck" I wiped my mouth and shook my head "I don't like you, one bit. YOU of all people disgust me." I told her before walking away.
I turned the corner and saw Marie and Aria, on the dance floor. I walked over to Hardy and tanked my beer back. "What the hell happen to you? You have lip stick on your lips, and it's not the color Aria is wearing".
Frustration grew on me. "You know that girl I was telling you about?"
Hardy, shook his head "The one that you cheated with?"
"I didn't cheat, she came on to me. And she works here, I didn't know that" I rubbed my face "We need to get out of here" I suggested
"Ezra, it's only 9.' He looked at his clock "You have to tell Aria, the truth. What happens if she finds out? your going to lose her for good, there is no turning back after that." Hardy stopped and looked at the girls "Aria, loves you. But it's only a matter of time, before all that guilt you have building up, is going to explode. How do you think Aria, will feel?"
I turned my attention away from Hardy, and held back a few angry tears. The fact that he was right, is killing me. I hated it, I hated not being able to tell Aria, the truth. Especially when she asked me if anything had happen...
Aria and Marie, came laughing their way back to the table. And I gave her a half hearted grin, before our host came back to the table. This time I ordered a shot of Patron, and another beer. Aria, turned to me and rubbed my arm. I rubbed her inner thigh, which caused her to squirm a little.
"Dance with me?" I whispered into her ear and took hold of her hand.
"Sure" She bit her lip and squeezed my hand. "I'm having fun Ezra" Aria, placed her head on my chest.
"That's good" I smiled and twirled her around.
"What's wrong Ezra? If it's about me having a little break down, I'm sorry" Aria rambled.
"It's not you baby, it's me. Maybe we should just go home? I'm not feeling that well"
"Are you catching what Dani, had?" Aria, looked at me like a proud parent. And placed her palm on my forehead. "Your, not warm."
"I'm fine Aria, I don't have a fever" I chuckled taking her hand away. "I just want to be alone with you."
Aria, smiled and stepped on her tippy toes. "Lead the way" She whispered seductively before giving me a kiss. "But I have to use the restroom first..."
"Okay, I'll meet you back at the table." I kissed her once more
Aria's POV:
Ezra and I laid cuddled on the bed, we had gotten home a couple of hours ago and made love twice in two nights. This is something that I could get used too.
I rested my head on his chest while he drew, circles on my lower back. I smiled when he got to my tickle spot, feeling little goose bumps on my arms. "Ezra" I giggled "That tickles"
Ezra, chuckled softly and titled my chin to look up at him "I love you." his voice was broken, but sincere.
"Is something wrong?" I asked him. "Are you okay?" Ezra, sat up a little and brought me up to lean against him.
He let out a few shaky breaths, before I felt a lone tear on my cheek. But this time it wasn't mines. "Baby" I sat up completely and wrapped the sheet around me. "What's wrong?" At this point I was in a little panic mode.
"We can talk about anything right?"
"Yes, Ezra. I would like to hope so" I knitted my eyebrows and scratched the back of my head "What's this all about? Ezra, just tell me?"
"I quit my job, and I start working as Professor next month." Ezra, spoke and he started to play with his fingers.
"Is that it?" I rolled my eyes "I thought you were going to tell me you cheated or something" I joked and watched as he shook his head.
"I"m sorry" Ezra, told me as tears started to spill over.
"Excuse me?" My voice was hitched and my heart started to break. "Repeat that?" I asked pushing back my tears. "Ezra?" I yelled when he didn't say anything and I jumped off the bed and started to put on some clothes "You cheated on me? Ezra, is that it?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen. She threw herself on me, I pushed her away." Ezra, stood up from the bed and got dressed "You have to believe me, please. Baby"
"Don't' call me that" I yelled with tears running now my cheeks, pure heart break washing over me. "You slept with me last night. Is that what it was all about? Because you felt guilty?" I yelled again
"Aria, please just let me explain." He pleaded holding me back from leaving. "I'm sorry, please don't leave me. PLEASE" He begged over and over again.
I shook my head and kept pushing him away, but he blocked my only way out. "Just leave me alone, just get away from me." I yelled. "I don't want to even look at you... You cheating son of a bitch. Your, just like my father. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE"
I pushed back and dropped to my knees. Ezra, did the same and tried to get me to look him in the eyes. "I didn't want her, Aria. You have to believe me. I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry too" I spit out "But I knew all this late nights for over the last two years, was something bigger than grants, projects. BLAH BLAH BLAH." I stood up and sat down on the ottoman.
"You know I have been working hard on that. Why would you think that I made this happen? The second she came on to me, I fired her."
"Who was it?" I looked up at him with anger and rage.
"Heidi"
"The girl that came into my house?" I yelled and stood up "You let that slut in my house, and you-" I pointed. "Get out"
"What?" Ezra looked at me and I pointed to the door. "Aria, baby. We can work this out."
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE, YOU CAN HAVE IT BACK AT THE END OF THE WEEK." I yelled.
"I promise it wont happen again. Aria, she's not working for me?" He pleaded.
"That's what my dad said. I heard it all before, so get out" I spat "Now"
Ezra, rose up to his feet "That's were you're wrong, I am not your father. Don't you ever, compare me with him. I did not sleep with her, she kissed me. I may have done the wrong thing by not telling you, but I have never slept with anyone besides you."
I scoffed and wiped my face "I find that hard to believe, especially when you spent countless nights, with this woman. It was only a matter of time before the two of you-" Ezra, cut me off by placing his lips on mines, but I just pushed him away.
"Please don't push me away, you have know idea. How hard it was to tell you... To know that you have that stupid divorce papers somewhere around here. I can't lose you, Aria. I love you" He cupped my face "I love you, till death do us part. Remember that? For better or for worse"
I cried out "This is the death do us part. I'm sorry" Ezra, dropped his hands and shook his head.
"I am not leaving, we are going to work this out. I believe in that. I am not leaving." Was Ezra's finale words before he sat down on the bed and placed his head in his hands. "Aria." Ezra, called as I placed my hands on the knob of the door. "I pushed her away, that has to count for something? I really didn't cheat on you"
"You know what hurts the most. Is that you came home and slept with me, right after she kissed you. She must have really turned you on" I hissed before walking out of the room.
Okay okay. This chapter didn't really turn out the way that I had planned. But what girl wouldn't go crazy?
So the fact that Aria, saw her dad's face on Ezra when he told her that someone kissed him is wrong. But don't worry, Aria will realize that Ezra, is not her father. And everything will be okay again. I promise.
