The morning after the night before.

Hey Guys so I know this has taken me forever to load but so much crap has gone lately its unreal. That's no excuse I know, But either way, sorry.

Hopefully you'll love this chapter and forgive me. Sorry for any mistakes this isn't proofed, p.s please review I love reading your thought and opinions, thanks.

At 10 am the following morning Aria and Ezra were nice and snug, wrapped up in one another's arms under Aria's warm covers. Aria had started to stir awake which cause Ezra to wake up immediately. Once his eyes were open he couldn't help but smile down at the beauty that was Aria Montgomery.

"Morning Beautiful." He softly said once he noticed her eyes begin to flutter open. Aria blinked a few time up at him as she took a second to remember where she was and who she was with. A huge smile spread across her face as she remembered the events that took place the night before, before a slight blush washed over her face too.

As Ezra noticed Aria's face becoming redder he reached his left hand out and cupped her delicate cheek.

"You have no idea how beautiful you look when you blush." He told her, which only made Aria blush even more before she pulled the covers over her head, hiding her face from him. Ezra smiled at Aria's action before changing the subject.

"So I was thinking, why don't we go out for the day?" He suggested. At the change of Aria removed her head from under the covers. "I mean, only if you're up for it." Ezra quickly said realising that maybe Aria would prefer a relaxing day inside.

"Of course I'm up for it." Aria quickly replied. "That sounds nice." She added before giving Ezra a small peck on the lips.

"How're you feeling?" Ezra asked going back to the subject of last night. "I didn't hurt you or anything like that did I?" He asked nervously. He had meant to ask Aria last nice but they had both fallen asleep before he had the chance.

"I'm fine." Aria replied quickly hoping it would put an end to the rather awkward conversation.

"Are you sure because I read…" Ezra began but was cut off by Aria.

"I'm fine Ezra I promise, I'd let you know if I wasn't." Aria said finally putting his mind at rest. Aria couldn't hep but smile at the fact that Ezra had admitted he looked up bout the female body for her, she loved the fact that he cared that much about her.

"What's got you so smiley?" He asked her, unable to take his ocean blue eyes off of her hazel ones.

"Nothing. I'm just really touched you did research about women for me." Aria replied.

"You're more than welcome." Ezra replied as he let out a small laugh before leaning in for a rather heated kiss.

"I should probably get in the shower now." Aria told Ezra once their lips were parted for a split second.

"Yeah…you…probably…should." Ezra replied in between kisses.

"Wanna join me?" Aria asked mischievously once their lips parted again. At her words Ezra stopped kissing her, stunned by her words.

"Seriously?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, why not?" Aria said, loving the fact that Ezra's jaw was almost to the floor.

"You have no idea how much I love you." Ezra said before crushing his lips back to hers.

"I've got a pretty good idea, now come on." Aria replied as she got out from under the covers and headed for her en-suite, quickly followed by Ezra.

Over an Hour later.

"So what were you thinking of doing today?" Aria asked as she slipped on a loose fitting floral dress.

"Well I heard there was an all day carnival at the park today, we could go there, but if you wanna stay in the shower all day that's fine by me." Ezra replied as he excited the bathroom, towel in hand as he attempted to dry his wet hair.

"As much as I enjoyed…that, the carnival sounds fun, let's do that." Aria replied causing Ezra to playfully pout at her. "Come on, it'll be fun. You can even win me a stuffed bear." Aria said as she began making her bed with the help of Ezra, she made a mental note to change the sheets later. At her comment Ezra let out a small laugh.

"What? What's so funny?" Aria asked not understanding what part of what she said had caused him to start laughing.

"You might have to win your own bear; I'm not good with anything athletic." He told her as he finished getting ready by putting his shirt on.

"Neither am I." Aria replied making Ezra feel slightly better about himself. "We can suck at sport together." Aria told him as she sat down on her bed, Ezra joined her so he could put his socks on easier.

"Do you mind if we make a quickly stop by my apartment before we go to the carnival? I could do with changing into some clean clothes.

"Yeah sure that's fine." Aria replied not wanting him to be uncomfortable.

"Maybe you'd like to actually come in this time?" Ezra asked carefully, he knew how sceptical Aria had been the fist time.

"Yeah sure, I'd love to see your apartment." Aria replied enthusiastically.

"Be warned it's not that big, maybe only a foot or two bigger than this room." Ezra warned, he didn't want her getting her hopes up.

"I highly doubt that." Aria replied not believing him.

"Wait till you see it, and then say that." Ezra replied as he got up off Aria's bed, took hold of her hand and walked down the stairs with her.

"Here we are." Ezra said as he opened the door to his small apartment, he thanked God he'd cleaned the last time he was home and that the place didn't look like a pig's sty. "Do you like it?" He asked nervously a mere second as Aria had entered the apartment.

"Do I like it? No." Aria replied toying with Ezra before admitting she loved it as she slowly rotated around taking in as much as she could in.

"Really?" Ezra asked.

"Yes. I love it." Aria told him honestly as she stopped looking around and faced him. "And it's not small, it's quaint."

"Quaint means small Ar."

"No. Quaint, means quaint, small means small. This place is not small it's quaint, cute and 100% you." Aria told him as she walked towards him, placing both of her small hands on either side of his face before she continued. "And just like you, I love it." She told him before leaning up and planting her lips on his.

"Before we have a repeat of this morning, as much as I would like that, why don't you look around whilst I get changed then we can go." Ezra suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Aria said as she patted his chest with both hands before walking over to the rather large bookcase that resided on the other side of the room.

Once Aria finally managed to tear herself away from Ezra's extremely impressive book collection she then walked over towards his desk.

"Hey, your answering machine is flashing, do you want me to leave it or play it?" Aria asked as the flashing had caught her attention.

"You can play it if you want." Ezra called from the bathroom. "It won't be anything interesting, it never is."

Aria's dainty index finger reached out and pushed the small play button on the machine, instantly they heard the machine's voice speak followed by the left message.

(P.s his Mom is nice in this story and so are his Dad and Wes.)

"Hey Ezra its Mom, just in case you've forgot Wes comes home from college the day after tomorrow and you promised you'd come for dinner. I know you've been crazy busy lately but me and your father miss you and I'm sure Wes does too. Oh, and before I forget you can bring Aria with you if you want, we'd love to meet her, she sounds perfect for you, let me know if you'll be gracing us with your presence or not when you get this please, love you, talk soon."

"I'd class that as an interesting phone call." Aria said once the message had finished playing. "You told your Mom about us?" Aria asked, she found it utterly adorable he'd talked to his mother about their relationship.

"She's very nosey, she likes to know things." Ezra explained as he walked over towards Aria.

"Well she sounds sweet."

"She is, I think you'd really love her." Ezra replied as he wrapped his arms around Aria's petite frame.

"Are you gonna go to the dinner she was on about"? Aria asked curious as to weather Ezra would invite her along or not.

"That depends."

"On what?" Aria asked sceptically.

"On weather you'll come with me or not."

"You want me to come too?" Aria asked.

"Yes, and as you heard so do my parents and brother, so will you?"

"I'd love to." Aria replied causing the pair to smile at one another before Ezra spoke.

"We should probably get going to the carnival now, it's almost noon, and I'm starving, aren't you?"

"I'm famished. I could murder a burger." Aria replied as they left Ezra's quaint apartment.

"How about I just buy you one?" Ezra suggested. "Murdering a burger sounds messy." He joked.

"You don't have to buy me food Ezra." Aria told him as they finished walking down the stairs and out of the complex.

"Nonsense, I want to." Ezra told her as he held the passenger door open for her.

"See you don't completely suck at sport." Aria said as she awkwardly carried the large stuffed animal that was half the size of her.

"Yeah, I don't think it counts if you pay the guy to give you the biggest bear there is." Ezra replied as they walked hand in hand through the busy crowds.

"Nonsense. You tried, that's what counts." Aria told him, stopping so she could give him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"As long as you're happy, then I'm happy." Ezra told Aria truthfully as they headed towards the exit.

"I'm more than happy." Aria told him as she readjusted the bear so she wouldn't drop the damn thing.

"In that case then, mission accomplished. Now how about we drop that huge thing they call a bear off at my car and go and get some ice cream?" Ezra suggested.

"That's the best thing I've heard you say all day." Aria replied as a huge giddy smile appeared on her face. No one loved ice cream more than Aria did, especially if it was cookie dough or coffee flavoured.

Ezra couldn't help but smile in amazement at how happy Aria looked at the prospect of getting ice cream. She looked like a small child who was about to meet Santa for the first time. Clearly Ezra underestimated her love for ice cream ads once they arrived at the old fashioned shopee she was practically drooling as she looked at all the different flavours the small store had to offer.

As he watched Aria change her mind for the seventh time, Ezra knew right then and there that Aria Montgomery was it for him, there wasn't a chance that he could love someone half as much as he loved her right now.
