The Big Game

The big game finally arrived. Noel had practiced for this day all week long so he didn't really have much time to try and get Aria to like him, if that was even possible.

The week had been terrible for Ezra, he didn't get his girl back and still had too many essays to correct. He knew he should attend the game but didn't feel like it at all. However, despite of not being forgiven by Aria, he finally saw some hope. He knew she wanted to forgive him, but didn't know whether it was the right thing to do. Ezra would have to convince her of that.

"Hey girls; I found a good place for us to seat" said Emily, as the girls were looking for a spot on the bleachers. "Right there, look!"

"Yeah, that's good. Let's go before someone arrives", said Spencer

The four girls sat on together to watch the game. It hadn't started yet, so they were still gossiping and eating hotdogs.

"So, Aria, exited to see Noel playing?" asked Hanna with a smirk

Aria rolled her eyes "Actually I'm much more exited to see Mike."

"What happened with that date with Noel? You never really told us?"

"It was what I expected. We have nothing in common."

"Oh, that's bad" commented Spencer

"I know..."

"Maybe you should give him another chance" tried Hanna but failed

"Why are you so eager for me to date him?"

"No... Nothing..."

The game finally started. The Rosewood High's Team, The Sharks, had scored a few more points than the other one. The crowd was cheering and everyone was happy with the results. Mike Montgomery was playing like nobody's ever seen before; he was the star, along with Noel.

As Aria was proudly watching her little brother's game, her phone beeped. It was a little hard finding it inside of her messy purse. When Aria finally reached her phone, there was one new message. She opened it.

Ezra:

Aria, please meet me under the bleachers. I really need to talk to you.

Her heartbeat quickened. She checked that the girls hadn't seen the message but their eyes were too focused on the game to notice anything else. She thought about her options. Of course she could simply deny it and say she was watching her brother playing, but her heart had other ideas.

"Sorry girls, I need to use the toilets."

"Go ahead"

They opened some space for her to pass. Aria pretended to head towards the bathroom but then changed her way to find Ezra under the bleachers.

He was sitting down with his legs crossed, looking concernedly at his phone. Ezra was so concentrate and desperate he didn't even see her arrive.

"Ezra." she whispered and he finally looked up

"You came." he stood up quickly and put the phone in his pocket

"Yeah... I came." Aria looked down not knowing how to keep this conversation going.

"Look Aria, I'm sorry." he got loser to her

"I know you are", she murmured

"If I knew the cops would arrest the boy, I would've never called them. I really just wanted to protect you"

"Ezra, it's still wrong to ask your brother to keep an eye on me. If you didn't want me to go, than you should've said it."

"You're right. I'm a jerk. I am a terrible human being. But I'm in love with you. And I know you might not feel that way towards me anymore, but I love you more than you can imagine."

She was about to tell him what she was feeling when a thought crossed her mind.

"Who was the girl you were having dinner with?"
"What?"
"A blonde. I saw you on restaurant with a girl. Noel told me it was a teacher."

His body stiffened at the mention of Noel's name, Ezra didn't like the idea of them going out together, not even as friends, but tried to act cool."

"Oh, it was just Martha"

"Martha?"

"Yeah, she's a friend. She teaches Science for the freshmen. And by the way, the girl is married."

"Oh. I didn't know." she blushed and Ezra smirked and put his hands on her waist.

"Ezra..." she looked down not certain of what to do

"Aria..." he kissed her cheek sweetly. She didn't move. Then he kissed the corner of her lips and then her lips.

Aria finally caved and put both her arms behind his neck and Ezra pressed her body against his and they kissed passionately. She played with his baby hairs and ears and he put his hands under her top to caress the small of her back. At some point they had to stop in order to catch their breath and Aria put her legs around his waist and he sat down so she was straddling his lap.

He kissed her neck and she nibbled his ear making him groan. The effect she had to him made her smile.

Aria started to unbutton his shirt but he stopped kissing her. A puzzled expression covered her face.

"Maybe we should o somewhere more private", he suggested

"You're right."

She followed him to his silver Toyota. Ezra opened the back door and they got in. It wasn't big but it was enough.

Ezra helped her unbuttoning his shirt and then took it off. She kissed his toned chest while her hands roamed all over his abs. He opened her jeans' buttons and she took them off. Both hearts were beating fast and breath was getting every time harder to get. The couple was so lovingly entranced; they didn't even notice someone arriving.

knock knock knock

Somebody knocked on the window and they turned to see who it was. Jessica was standing there with her iPhone in hands. She had a huge grin on her evil little face. Ezra tried to hide his girlfriend's body with his own. He got in front of her and opened the car's window.

"What the fuck are you doing?" he asked angrily

"Me? Oh, just passing by. But you, my dear, you've just signed your resignation paper."

"You can't prove it."

"It's all on tape." she said and winked. The little smirk on her lips made Ezra too damn angry. But there was nothing he could do.
