I rolled my eyes and sighed. A was never going to leave me alone. No matter how good everything felt, A was always going to be watching me, keeping tabs on me. I received another text, expecting it to be A. I opened it.

''Come over? I miss you already. -Ezra.''

My face became red and I started smiling until my cheeks hurt. I quickly walked to my car and put the keys in the ignition. I started the car and drove away from the hospital. Before I made it to Ezra's, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up some popcorn and other junk food. Thank goodness my Netflix movie was in my car. I didn't want to make anymore stops, I only wanted to see Ezra. When I made it to his apartment, I had to kick the door lightly with my foot as a knock. He opened it with a confused look on his face.

''I brought us junk food and a movie. Sound like a cliché enough date for you?'' I said with a teasing look on my face.

''Sounds like the perfect date to me.'' he said while smiling. He grabbed the two grocery bags I had in my hand, gave me a quick peck on the lips and shut the door. He set the grocery bags on the counter and unloaded the stuff out of them.

''Wow. Potato chips, popcorn, and ice cream. Healthy choices.'' He said sarcastically.

I walked up behind him and put my arms around his waist. ''Well, word on the street is, you can only cook about 2 things.'' I said, teasingly.

He turned around and wrapped his arms around my waist, accordingly. ''Oh, that cut deep.''

I lowered my bottom lip out in an attempt at a fake apology, trying to make him laugh. ''Oh, Ezra. Please forgive me.''

''Nope, you're not getting off that easy.'' he said as he started to poke my sides gently.

I immediately retaliated and ran across the apartment from him. ''Stop, Ezra. No. I'm so ticklish you don't even understand.''

He slowly started to walk towards me. ''Oh, really now?'' he said with a mischievous hint in his voice.

I nodded my head and smiled. He suddenly half way ran across the room and picked me up and starting tickling me all over. He picked me up and gently laid me on the couch. He climbed on top of me as he continued to poke at me. I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe.

''Ezra! Please, stop!'' I said through ragged breaths. ''Please, I'll do anything!'' I said laughing in between breaths.

He finally stopped and leaned in for a kiss. I kissed him back immediately. His lips were soft and our mouths melted together. After a few minutes, I stopped and pulled back. He looked confused.

''Ezra, do you love me?'' I asked quietly.

''Of course.'' He replied immediately.

''Because I need to tell you something, but I'm scared.'' I said with a crack in my voice.

He cupped my face in his hands.

''Aria, there is nothing you can say or do that could make me stop loving you. You, Aria, you're everything to me. When I left-'' I cringed at the thought of him leaving again. ''Whether you believe me or not, I literally spent every second thinking about you. The way you bite your lip sometimes when you get nervous, the way your soft hair smells like peaches and the way it cascades around your shoulders, the way you speak your mind in class, the way you put everyone else's happiness ahead of yours. You are the most fascinating human being I have ever met, and I don't regret meeting you at that bar. I never will. I love you, Aria. And nothing will change that.''

A single tear rolled down my cheek. No one had ever spilled their heart out to me like that before. I took his hands and intertwined them with mine.

''Ezra, I don't regret meeting you either. Because meeting you was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. When you left, I spent days in my bed thinking about you, about us, about the times that we shared together. The images would constantly play over and over in my head. I love your intelligence, your passion for teaching and writing, the way you steal glances at me during class when you're sure no one is looking, the way you make me laugh. I love you, Ezra.'' He smiled and came in for another kiss. I kissed back of course, but only for a few seconds.

''Okay, so this is what I want to tell you. When I went to break up with Noel earlier, he, asked if there was anything going on between us.''

Ezra's face became white. ''And what did you tell him?''

''What do you think I told him Ezra? I told him that he was crazy and there was absolutely nothing going on. Also, I went to see Hanna earlier today, and she told me that she saw us, that night in your car. Kissing.''

He shook his head, sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

''So, she knows?'' he asked quietly.

I nodded my head yes and looked at the floor, afraid to look him in the eye.

''But, Ezra, I promise you, I know she won't tell anyone.''

''I believe you, Aria. I mean, there's nothing that we can really do now that she has seen us, other than trust her with this secret. And as far as things go with Noel-well, Aria, do you think that he would tell someone?''

I sighed. ''Ugh, I don't know Ezra. Maybe. But, I think he still cares about me, so he's just mad at me right now. I'll talk to him eventually. I mean, I won't tell him about us, but, we'll just see what happens.''

He looked at me seriously. ''Maybe for now, Aria, we shouldn't meet in my classroom before and after school like we were doing. We don't want any further speculation of our relationship than people already think. Is that okay?''

I nodded my head yes. ''Yeah, you're right Ezra. We will only see each other during first block AP English. Which, by the way, you will like my movie selection!''

He smiled and bit his bottom lip. ''What is it?'' he asked curiously.

I pulled out the Netflix DVD and handed it too him. He pulled it out of the red case.

''Ah, To Kill A Mockingbird, one of my all time favorites.''

''I thought that you might like it.'' I said while smiling.

''I love it! Thank you.'' He said and gave me a quick kiss.

I got up and quickly put the DVD into the player and sat back down beside Ezra. He put his arm around me and I snuggled into his chest, feeling happier than I had been in a while.

A/N: Thank you guys sooo much for all of the reviews! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I definitely wanted to write some more Ezra/Aria scenes. Anywho, feel free to give me your personal suggestions about what I should write next and if you think I should add in some scenes with a specific character. Please keep reviewing and let me know what you think, because it's really what keeps me writing on this story. I miss PLL soo much, haha. And there are all of these behind the scenes pictures of Noel (bleh). I want some Ezra (Ian Harding) back in my life :) haha. Thanks a bunch guys! - Haylie
