Chapter 10 – roll over, roll over

Aria POV

I looked down at the clock as we continued our drive. It was eleven and we were getting ready to pull into another hotel for the night. We hadn't gotten very far on our trip so far we were only about five hours from rosewood but it wasn't where we were that mattered it was just the fact that me and Ezra were away and could spend time together without any judgement.

"Here?" he asked as he pulled into the Hilton hotel driveway.

"Sure" I answered, I loved that he wanted to take me somewhere nice rather than just stopping at one of the many dumpy motels on the side of the road.

We got out of the car and unloaded our bags and walked to the reception desk. After waiting a few minutes a pretty woman came up to the counter which frustrated me. Not that I thought I was ugly but I had just spent a long day outside and then in the car while she looked like she stepped out of the pages of a magazine.

"Hello" she smiled brightly at Ezra and never turns in my direction once.

"Hi, can we please have" Ezra started but I had to make sure she knew he was not available so I interrupted. "A room" I finish faking a smiling at her.

"We only have a queen bed available is that alright?" she said still looking at Ezra probably hoping he would say something along the lines of 'I don't want to sleep in a bed with my little sister' but instead of answering her he turned to me.

"We can go somewhere else" he said quietly knowing the lady at the desk was still listening.

"No that's fine. It's really not a big deal. I mean it's not like we have never shared a bed before" I say the last part a little louder and am glad to see that I've thrown the girl off a bit when I turn back around.

"That's great thank you." I tell her and can't help but think I noticed her glare at me. I grab my purse and pull out a credit card as she types away on some buttons.

"Aria, I'm paying" Ezra says as he notices the card in my hand.

"No you paid last night." I say then lean in and whisper to him "Anyway what will my parents think if they don't see any hotel charges?"

"Okay, but I will pay you back" he says to me stubbornly.

"No Ezra, it's not a big deal. I have money you don't always have to pay for me." I reply not wanting him to think I can't take care of myself.

"It's your parent's money aria" he reply's sceptically

"Well sorry not all of us are English professors" I shoot back sarcastically. "We can talk about this later" I say as I hand the woman my credit card.

I get the room keys and then we start to walk to the elevator. "I don't think your parents would be too thrilled about who your rooming with." He says dryly.

"Well that's my business not theirs." I say annoyed that he's ruining our good mood. As I get to the door I put my bags down and he follows after me.

"Don't worry I can just sleep on the couch" he says and I turn to him frustrated and confused.

"Do you really think I would have said to get this room and then make you sleep on the couch?" I snap at him.

"Well I just didn't think we were back to where we were" he answers and I roll my eyes.

"Maybe not but we can share the bed. It's not a big deal; it's not like I'm saying we have to have sex or anything" I say all worked up and he laughs at me.

"What" I bark back at him.

"You're really cute when you're angry." He smiles at me then walks over and kisses the top of my head.

"I'm going to go have a shower" he says and grabs his bag then walks into the bathroom. I quickly change into a tee-shirt and some shorts then crawl into bed deciding I could just shower in the morning.

I doze off and the next time I wake up I see Ezra in nothing but pyjama pants crawling into bed which causes the corners of my mouth to pull up into a small grin. I notice he stays far to the other side of the bed as if I have some terrible disease. My lips fall into a pout and I decide to show him it's okay. I roll myself further to his side and he continues to scoot over trying to give me room probably thinking I'm asleep. Soon he is to the edge of the bed and I manage to rest my head on his chest. After a minute he relaxes and wraps his arms around my body and before long I fade away into the most peaceful sleep I've had in a long time.

Ezra POV

I wake up to find my arms wrapped around aria and her body snuggled into mine. I feel so peaceful but as she starts to stir I wonder if this would be too much for her too soon. Obviously subconsciously we managed to get ourselves wrapped up like, there was no question there was an attraction between us, but it was the conscious realistic part that was telling us how stupid we were to think this could work.

Before I could convince myself to pull away from her she wakes up and rolls to face me. Instead of saying anything she just leans in and gives me a soft peck on my lips.

"Morning" she whispers once our lips detach.

"Good morning, did you sleep well?" I ask suddenly wide awake.

"Better than you could ever know. Just having you here made me feel safe. And the wake up wasn't too bad either." She smirked at me.

"Oh really?" I ask joking around with her. "Could I have improved upon it?"

"No, I mean it was perfect just a bit too short." She smiled at me still laying only inches away.

"Well I can fix that" I say quietly as I lean in to reach her lips. After about five minutes of rolling around on the bed she breaks the kiss.

"I'm going to go get ready" she tells me as she gets out of bed.

"Fine" I sigh in a joking tone which brings a smile to her lips. "Then we can go get breakfast and get on the road?" I continue.

"Yah sounds good." She says and then walks into the bathroom.

Once we are both dressed and ready for the day we walk out of the hotel room hand in hand. She swings our hands as we walk down the sidewalk looking for a cute restaurant to eat at.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask smiling at her as I see that she's completely lost in her thoughts.

"You" she says and smiles but then it quickly fades as she looks down. "About how perfect this is. About how I don't want to go back home" she continues.

"Aria, this is perfect and I don't want to lose this either, so we won't. Nothing will change when we go back to rosewood." I try to reassure her although I'm not sure I believe the words myself.

Aria POV

"You're a terrible liar. You know everything will be different, we have to hide, I mean if you even want to stay together?" I say hitting the always delicate topic for us, the future.

"Aria I have told you so many times that I love you. Do you really think that I would leave you once we got back?" he says sounding offended and honestly I don't blame him, I basically just accused him of using me for the week and I felt sick for even implying such a thing. I knew we would have to deal with all of these assumptions once people found out about us and I needed to be able to prove to them, to show them with complete confidence that we both love each other and that we are both equally involved in this relationship.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I just want to make sure that we are really together again, I mean we never really discussed it." I say hoping he won't be angry with me.

"Of course we are really back together. And since we are I think that we will need to tell your parents once we get back" he says and as much as I would love to be out in the open I'm not really confident with that plan.

"I'm not sure about that, but we can talk about it later, right?" I ask and press a sweet kiss to his lips in an attempt to end the conversation.

"Whatever you want" he says and we walk into a nice little café to enjoy the morning.

After an hour we decide to hit the road again and I'm having a great time until I look down at my phone. I had been trying to ignore everything back in rosewood but now it was hard to do that, I had twenty-six missed calls. Two from Spencer before we had talked, two from Hannah, one from Emily and twenty-one missed calls from my parents. I knew I was in huge trouble, I knew that they were probably worried, but I also knew that once I went home I would probably never be allowed out of the house again. Ever. Ezra noticed the change in my facial expression almost immediately,

"Honey what's wrong?" he asked nervously probably still thinking that I wasn't sure about us which was funny because he was the only thing in my life that I was completely positive about.

"My parents, they called me twenty-one times, twenty-one Ezra, they are going to kill me." I said dreading the return to rosewood even more.

"It'll be okay babe. Don't worry we will figure it all out." He said and reached to hold my hand on the center console of the car.

"I hope so" I said and couldn't help but smile when he brought my hand up to my mouth and kissed it softly.

"I know so" he said and we spent an hour driving in a comfortable peaceful happy silence.

Yes everything seems happy now but things are about to get CRAZY! let me know what you think... :)
