My new year has been amazing so far. I was able to kiss my girlfriend at midnight. She ended up coming home with me that night and staying the night. She was able to actually stay with me overnight five nights out of the two week break we had for winter. I had so much fun just hanging with her. School started back and even though I still can't control myself around her, we have been able to talk and flirt a little without anyone finding out. I am loving this new year but this song keeps flashing through my head. I don't know where it is coming from but it hasn't stopped for awhile now.

It just keeps playing.

I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me.

Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream.

So I travel back, down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

I know this song but I can't figure out why it keeps playing in my mind. I see Aria coming my way and I can't help the smile that crosses my face. The teacher I was talking to looks at me then around. "Ezra, what are you smiling at?" I look down at her, "Nothing. I just remembered this movie I was watching last night. It was so good and I can't wait to go home and finish it." She nods but looks around before smiling at me and keeps talking about a meeting coming up. I zone her out and look at Aria as walks past us. I look back at her and smile, "Yeah, it sounds good. I have to go." I turn and head towards my classroom knowing soon I can see the dark haired beauty that occupies my mind all day every day.

The time of the day that I love is here. Her class. She walks in with her friends and smiles at me quickly before sitting in her seat and turning to finish her talk with her friends.

I watch as the class enters and the bell rings. I smile and leans against the desk and smile, "Today we are finishing up your newest essay. Since it is due today and I know most of you probably didn't finish it." I see a few glances and a few people slump in their desk. I smile, "That is why I brought the computers in and am letting you guys finish them. As long as I have them in my email or on my desk by the end of class." A few people clap and smile. I see a hand go up and I smile as I see who it belongs to, "Yes, Miss. Montgomery?" She lowers her hand, "What about the people who finished their paper already?" I smile, "Well this is a free period then. Do homework, read a book, work on things from other classes, or just play on the computer." She nods, "What about our cell phones?" I shrug, "Why not." She smiles and I look around, "Okay, any more questions." No one ask so I laugh, "Grab the computers and get started." I sit at my desk and watch as everyone starts something.

Grabbing some papers that need graded I start grading them when my phone goes off. I look at it and pick it up to see a text message.

Can I come over after class?

Smiling I look at my phone,

Of course baby.

My phone vibrates in my hand,

No one is home tonight at my house, maybe I could stay the night.

Smiling I write back,

Your welcome anytime baby. I would love for you to stay.

I put my phone down and it vibrates one more time,

:) Thank you. Love you Ezra. Xoxox

I smile as I see my text flash across my phone.

I look up and see everyone working on something. Aria looks up at me and smiles before opening her book and she keeps reading Gone Girl.

Class is about to be over and I couldn't be more happy. Aria is coming over after and she is staying the night. How much better could this be? I smile as I stand up, "Okay, you have ten minutes to finish and either print it or send it to my email." I receive some mumbles and then watch as people type quicker.

Sitting back down I watch as the clock ticks and the seconds pass. I watch as computers close and students sigh in relief at being done with the essay. I see two minutes left, standing up I clap my hands, "Time to log off and put the computers up." Watching the students stand and walk to the rack where the computers go, I catch sight of Aria and can't help the flutter of my heart.

The bell rings and my students file out leaving Aria and I staring at each other. She smiles at me and looks around before she comes over to my desk and places her hand down on the desk. "Mr. Fitz, I want you to look at something before you go home." I tilt my head and she hands me a piece of paper and I look down to see.

I am going to get groceries and then we are going to cook dinner together. It may be with or without clothes on. We will see but I can tell you how this night will defiantly end and it will be with no clothes on with us in your bed.

Love you,

Aria.

I feel my cheek heat up and I look up at her and she smiles at me innocently. "Was everything in place Mr. Fitz?" I can't help the shiver that runs through my body as I stutter out, "Uh. Um. Yeah Miss. Montgomery, everything was in place." She smiles and flips her hair, "Good. Have a good night Mr. Fitz." Turning on her heel she walks out of the classroom leaving me breathless and wanting to follow after her.

Taking a deep breath I pack up my bag and turn off the light before walking out of my classroom and trying my hardest not to run to my car. I finally reach my car and can't help the smile that crosses my face as I get in and head home. Aria makes me happy. She knows how to light up my day and make everything disappear.

I park my car and get out and walk into my building. Outside my door the smell coming from behind it makes my mouth water. Slowly I open my door and see Aria in a pair of sport shorts with a tank top and her hair pulled into a pony tail as she sings and dances to the music softly playing on her iPod. She is in her own little world and has no idea I am watching her. I slowly close the door and set my jacket and bag down by the door before carefully and quietly walking toward her. When I am right behind her I wrap my arms around her from behind causing her to jump in my arms. I laugh and kiss the back of her head and then her shoulder. "You were so cute, I couldn't help myself." She laughs and turns in my arms wrapping her arms around my neck. "Well, I am glad you are home." I smile and look at her, "Oh really?" She nods with a smirk as she stands on her tippy toes and inches her face to mine. "Because now you can help me." She pulls away and smiles at my shocked face as she goes back to cooking.

I take my stuff to my chair and take my shoes off before washing my hands and walking back to the kitchen. "It smells good." She smiles over her shoulder at me. "Thanks." I walk in and look around, "What can I do to help?" She stops and looks around, "Um." I laugh as we both notice she has everything done and under control. I lean in and kiss her, "I will just keep you company." She smiles and goes back to cooking. "What are we having anyway?"

Turning with a pan in her hands she smiles, "Stuffed shells with a salad and bread sticks." I look into the pan to see the shells before she puts them in the oven, "I could get use to this." Laughing she turns around and leans against the counter as she wipes her hands on a towel. "Get use to what?" I shrug, "Coming home to you. Having a home cooked meal." She smiles and puts her hands on my waist and pulls me to her, "Glad to hear." I smile as she leans up and captures my lips with hers.

Placing my hands on either side of her I pin her against the counter and in my arms. I feel her tongue on my lip asking for entrance which I gladly allow. Moving one hand I tangle it in her hair. I love the feel of her hair. She moans lightly as one of her hands goes under my shirt. I pull her shirt up to reveal her stomach. We stop when we hear beeping. Looking in the direction of the stove we see the timer going off. With a laugh I let her go as she turns the timer off and get the food out of the oven. I grab the salad and make two plates before taking them to the table. I grab us each a soda and put it on the table with the salads. When I look over I see Aria putting shells on plates. Walking over I grab the plates and kiss her quickly before taking the food to put with the rest on the table. I turn and run right into Aria. My hands on instinct grab her by the hips before she falls. "Sorry baby." She laughs and shakes her head, "It's fine baby, let's eat." I smile and pull her chair out for her and then scoot it back in as she sits and puts the bread on the table.

Dinner was amazing. She is such an amazing cook. She laughs as I stand over the stove with a fork in the pan with the leftovers. "Do you want another plate?" I shake my head and take a bite, "Nope, I am good." She laughs and comes over and kisses me, "Your adorable." I gasp and she laughs harder, "I am not adorable, sexy, handsome, maybe but not adorable." She laughs and leans up and kisses me quickly, "You are all of those but you are adorable too." She runs off to the living room before I can catch her.

Once I was officially done eating, I went over to lay on the couch with her in my arms. We watched a movie with her curled up in my arms. As the credits roll she looks up at me, "I am loving being here." I smile and kiss her head, "I love you being here." She leans up and kisses me. Sitting up on her knees she pushes my shoulders while kissing me. Laying on my back, she smiles down at me before lying on top of me and kissing me again. One hand moves to hair and tangles in it while the other moves up the back of her shirt to feel her wonderful skin.

She leans up and I pull her shirt off before she yanks mine off and throws it somewhere. I smile and she leans down and starts to kiss my neck and rake her fingers down my chest. I kiss her neck and play with her breast. This is getting heated quickly. Breathing heavily I pull away quickly, "Should we move?" She shakes her head and starts kissing her way down my stomach. I groan and she smirks up at me before undoing my belt and unbuttoning then unzipping my pants and pulling them with her as she moves her body down mine. I moan and she laughs as she stands behind the arm of the couch now. Smirking I move to get closer to her and undo her pants and pull them down where she kicks them off before I pull her with me back onto the couch.

I am laying with the most beautiful girl I know in my arms. I smile down at the beauty on my chest as she sleeps. I can't sleep. That song keeps playing through my head and it is becoming annoying. I just want to sleep with this amazing girl but the song won't let me. I sigh and kiss her head before lightly rubbing her back. Closing my eyes I let the song play through my head as I daydream about the girl on my chest.

I wake up as Aria moves from under my arms. I look down at her and she smiles slyly at me. "Sorry for waking you. I was just trying to go to the bathroom." Smiling I let her go and sit up, "No problem." She leans in and kisses me before running into the bathroom. Coming back out a few minutes later she curls back up against me and kisses my chest. "I just want to stay here." I smile and kiss her head, "I feel the same way." She smiles and leans in kissing me. "I love you Mr. Fitz." I laugh and kiss her forehead, "I love you too Aria."

I wake up to a wonderful smell. Blinking I see Aria in the kitchen cooking. I smile and rub at my eyes. Getting up I walk into the kitchen and wrap my arms around her and lean my head on her shoulder. She smiles, "Your awake." I smile and kiss her shoulder, "I smelled this amazing smell." She laughs and turns in my arms. "Pancakes, bacon and eggs." Smiling I lean in and kiss her, "Sounds amazing." I go to the coffee maker and laugh as I see coffee already made. "You are amazing."She laughs and turns the stove off, "You are too Ezra." I turn to her with my coffee in hand and laugh, "Food done?" She nods as she makes the plates. I take the two coffees to the table as she brings the food to the table. Sitting down we eat.

Once done she sighs and leans against the counter, while I close the dishwasher. "What's wrong?" She looks down, "We have to go to school." I stand in front of her and kiss her, "I know baby." She sighs, "I hate having to lie and get up and act like I don't have a boyfriend." Picking her up I set her on the counter and place my hands on her thighs as I lean in and kiss her passionately. "I know how hard it is baby. I'm sorry." Placing a hand on my cheek she leans in and kisses the other, "It isn't hard and I love you so much that it is all worth it." I smile and kiss her, "We need to get ready." She wraps her legs around my waist and pulls me closer. Smiling up at me she pulls my head down and kisses me with so much passion that I lose train of thought. Smiling she pulls away and laughs. Pushing me away slightly she hops off the couch and walks into the bathroom. Poking her head back out, she laughs, "Are you coming." Running into the bathroom I strip down and hop in the shower with her.

Aria is dressed in her clothes for the day as I walk around in my pants. "Ezra, wear that sweater vest." I hold the one up she is talking about, smiling she nods "Yes and this tie." She hands me my blue tie and kisses me quickly. " I have to go but have a good day." I smile and pull her to me and kiss her. She deepens the kiss, when air is much needed we pull away and she laughs. "See you later Ezra." I smile and peck her lips quickly. "I love you." She smiles as she grabs all her bags, "I love you too Ezra." I watch her walk out my door. I sigh and sit on my bed. Her smell is all over my apartment, it's like she is still here. Smiling I get up and put my dress shirt on and then the tie she choose. Lastly I put the sweater vest on that she picked out. Looking over at the clock I put my shoes on and grab my bag as I walk out the door and get in my car. Looking up at my window to my apartment, I sigh as I drive to work.

Walking into school I am greeted with hellos and smiles but honestly, I would rather be home with Aria then be here. I hate coming to work anymore because its just time I have to sit there and pretend I am not with Aria. Secretly I am looking at college teaching jobs so I could at least be seen with Aria outside of school. So far I have had no luck and it is starting to hit me. I may not be able to see Aria outside of school or my apartment, until she graduates. I hate the thought of that because when she graduates, she will go to college and she is so smart she could go anywhere. I hate to think I will be stuck here in Rosewood in high school while she goes on and does everything I have wanted to do.

Classes are going by slowly and I want the day to be over. I want to be able to hold and kiss Aria, which can't happen until school is over and we are at my apartment. I know she has to go home tonight but even the smallest time I get with her to ourselves, is what I wait for and enjoy.

The last class of the day, her class. Her class is amazing and I love to teach her class because not only is she in it but the class itself is more awake and involved then my other ones. I watch as the students file in with smiles, ready to hear what I have to say and learn from me. What more could I ask for? My students want to learn.

I smile as the bell rings and look out at the faces waiting for me to teach them. "Today we are going to start reading Romeo and Juliet." The class looks at each other and then me. I nod, "I know you read it awhile ago but you never had me teaching it. I would like for you to read it again or watch the movie and we will work on it different then your other teacher did." They all nod and smile at me, "For today I wanted to just talk about the book some." I watch as the students take out their notebooks and pens and get ready to write what I have to say.

"You know Romeo and Juliet were in love. Their love was forbidden. You know that they killed themselves to be with each other. That is known from the book, however I want you to think. I mean really think about their love and how they were so in love they would do anything to be with each other." I see the wheels in their heads turning as they think about what I am saying. "Now, does anyone have anything to say about it?"

I watch as a female student raises her hand, "The love was forbidden and they knew this. They didn't want to be with each other, they was no one else, they had to be with each other. They did what they needed to do to be together. It wasn't how they planned and it wasn't what they wanted, but then again, in love is anything planned or what you want? You do what you have to do to be with the person that you love and can't imagine being without. You can't imagine anyone else and dying is better than not being with that person." I nod and look around, "That was an amazing insight into this. Does anyone else have anything to say?"

My class starts a conversation on love and how sometimes it isn't normal or what people would want, but it is what the two in love do because they have to be together.

The bell is about to ring and I am utterly surprised at how the students think and what they are saying. They are very insightful and smart for their ages. Some of the guys tried to make the conversation a joke but a few of the guys were serious and showed their sensitive sides. The only person left who didn't talk raises his hand, "Mr. Blake." He looks at me, "I think love is different for everyone and sometimes, it gets to the point where you feel like you would die without the other. However I feel at certain ages, the love we think we feel or felt was not it at all. At the time we would die without the other person but then in a few months or a year, we are over it and soon someone else is the person we would die without. I think love is real and it is out there but I also think that when you truly love someone you would not die without them because you wouldn't be without them. You would die with them if they died. You are so attached to each other that no matter what, you are always with them and being apart would be hard but you know that your love is real and that no matter what, they are your one and only." I look at him surprised, "Well, thank you for the insight, I like your points and think you have a great way of thinking."

I look at my class and smile, "We may just have to do an essay on this topic. You all have a lot to say and a lot to express. I think I will work on an essay assignment and get that out to you." As the bell rings, I hear the class still talking about the discussion we had as they leave. That is what makes teaching worthwhile. When you can get through to someone and even when they don't have to talk about it or learn anymore, they want to. Aria smiles at me as she walks out the door. I sit down at my desk and start writing out the assignment to hand out to the class.

When the assignment is wrote out. I print a sheet out. I pick the piece of paper up and take it to the copier in the office. I hit the button and type in my password and how many copies I need. I stand there and watch as the papers come out. When it beeps letting me know my copies are done, I pick them all up and walk back to my classroom. I put the papers in the folder for assignments and put it in my drawer. Grabbing my bag and turning the light off to my classroom, I walk down the hallway to the front doors. I walk down the steps and to my car. Once inside I throw my bag in the back and put my car in drive as I head to my apartment. Pulling up along the curb, I put my car in park. I grab my bag and am about to get out when my phone goes off. Picking it up I see a text from Aria.

I can only show up for a few.

I type back a quick okay and get out before heading into my apartment building. I stop outside my door as I see a note taped to it with my name on it. I look around but take it off and walk into my apartment. Setting the note on the counter, I throw my bag in my desk chair and lay on the couch needing a nap.

I wake up to Aria shaking me. "Ezra." I sit up and look at her, "Yeah." She holds the note out to me, "Where did you get this?" I shrug, "It was on my door." She shakes her head, "Did you read it?" I shake my head no and she pushes it into my hands. Looking down I see in clear readable writing,

I know what you are doing. Tutor sessions gone too far, Mr. Fitz.

I look at Aria with wide eyes, "Someone knows?" She shrugs, "I guess so." I stand up and start pacing. "This is not good." Aria sits down on the couch, "I know." I look at her and pace, "I don't know what to do." She places her head down, "I didn't tell anyone. I was so careful." I walk over and sit next to her and hold her hand, "I know baby. I know you were. It isn't your fault." She nods and kisses my cheek, "Do we have to stop seeing each other?" I shake my head, "I am not giving you up. I love you too much." I look at the note on my living room table and sigh, "This is just something we will have to deal with. It's an obstacle and obstacles make couples stronger." She nods and lays her head on my shoulder, "I just don't want you to get in trouble." I smile at her, "We are careful. This is probably nothing. Your parents don't know and the school doesn't know, I won't get in trouble."

We sit there with my arm over her shoulder and her curled into my side, just staring at the note. We hope this is nothing and everything will be okay. We just don't want to talk about it. She leans up and kisses me, bringing my attention to her. Turning she wraps her arms around me and kisses me with everything. She puts everything she is feeling into the kiss. I can feel how scared and upset she is along with how in love she is with me. I pull away and peck her lips, "Everything will be okay sweetie." She nods and curls up with me on the couch as we just cuddle and enjoy the time we have together.

She sits up when he phone goes off. She picks it up from the table and sighs, "My mom told me to come home." I nod and lean in and kiss her. "I love you Ezra." I smile, "I love you too baby." She sighs and looks at me, "What if the principle finds out and brings me in for questioning?" I shrug, "Do what you have to do baby. I don't want you to get in trouble. I don't think they even know anything and someone is just trying to scare us but I really don't know and I would rather get in trouble then get you in trouble." She nods and kisses me quickly before grabbing her bag, "I hope you are right Ezra. I love you and will talk to you later." I smile and nod, "I love you too Aria." As soon as the door closes I lose it.

I might lose my job. I might lose Aria. What would I do if I lose my job and Aria? I am screwed. I hope no one knows and someone is just trying to scare me but if someone does know, I am screwed. The school board could find out. I could lose my job and my license resulting in me never getting a job again. Let alone that I could go to jail because we have been sleeping together. Running my fingers through my hair I look at the note on my table. I need to destroy the note.

Getting up I pick the note up and shred it. I sit back down on the couch and sigh. I love Aria and I meant what I said, everything will be okay. If I get news that the school is getting news about Aria and I then I will have to figure something out. It may leave me with no job and looking for another, but I will figure something out.

I am tired and can't deal with this day anymore. I eat a few slices of pizza from the fridge and strip down to boxers before climbing into bed. Aria's scent is everyone and it's like she is lying right next to me. For once I really wish she wasn't on my mind and her scent wasn't here. I close my eyes and take a deep breath as I let everything from today drift away leaving one thing in my head, that song.

I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement.

Damn right. I was at the top of everything. I had an amazing beautiful girlfriend, a dream job where my students loved me and I loved them. Now I am at risk of losing everything. Granted, I knew what I was getting into when I started dating her but I just never thought it would actually happen to me. I thought we could be together and be happy. I thought I could have it all; I could have everything I ever thought and dreamed about. I didn't think as much as I should have. I should have thought about all of this more. I love Aria more than anything, don't get me wrong. I just thought we could keep this secrete until she was older and it would all be okay but I was wrong. I hate to think it but Aria and I may have to take a break.

I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be.

The song plays through my mind as sleep finally overcomes me and my dream is nothing but a nightmare.

I hope you all like it. I have been working on this.

I wanted to give you a long chapter. This is multiple chapters in one.

I started school back last Monday and I don't know how much I will be able to update but I promise to work really hard to update at least once a week. PLEASE REVIEW.
