Thank you sooooo much for all the wonderful reviews. Happy Aday!
Oh my GOD! tonights episode was amazing! LOVED it especially the Ezria scenes!
ARIA'S POV
I have been running for 2 hours straight, I decided I needed to take a break so I sat down in the sand staring out into the water. I love running; it helps clear my head it also helps me think. When I sit down I just take a deep breath and think about everything going on. Ezra and I were both in the wrong here (I know more him than me) but I still hit him and I shouldn't have. I knew I needed to go talk to Ezra so we can work through this, I'm just afraid he won't want anything to do with me anymore. It's probably best I sit here for a bit thinking about what I want to say to him when I see him. I lay back and look up at the stars while figuring it out.
EZRA'S POV
Ever since I talked to Harry I have been sitting here, on the couch watching the minutes roll by on the clock wishing she would be home already. It's almost 12:30am and I'm scared that something happened to her. I would give anything right now to be able to hold her in my arms and kiss her or just hug her. I'm going absolutely crazy without her. After what feels like decades I hear the front door unlock and open. I quickly jump off the couch and turn toward the door. Normally I would run to her and pick her up but she's probably still pissed and wants nothing to do with me. So I just stand here, staring at her.
"Aria, thank god you're finally home. I was so worried! I'm so, so sorry I take back everything I was just jealous." I pleaded with her.
She sighed then looked me in the eyes. "I understand, but there is nothing to be jealous over. I love you! Not him and no one else, just you forever and always."
"I love you too. Please can you find a way to forgive me?" I plead so desperately with her.
Instead of answering verbally she runs and jumps into my arms. Aria wrapped her arms around my neck and legs around my waist and kisses me oh so passionately. The kiss was getting extremely heated. It feels so amazing to have her back; I can't believe I almost lost her.
"Mmmm bed now." She growled on my lips and while kissing me furiously.
I gladly abided by her command and took her to our room. I all but threw her on the mattress and climbed on top of her. I'm sure you can guess what happened next.
ARIA'S POV
I got home a little after midnight. I had to see Ezra; I couldn't go any longer without seeing him. So I ran home as fast as I could. I never thought it was true but people were right when they say make up sex it the best kind of sex. I might purposely start an argument between us in the future if it's garnered to end like that!
It was now Saturday morning well afternoon it was about 12:30pm, Ezra was still asleep. I have been up for about 10 minutes watching Ezra sleep and tracing patterns on his chest. I'm so glad we made up; I can't stand being mad at him even though I was pissed at him for just a day. I noticed Ezra was waking up so I leaned over to kiss him.
"Good morning sexy!" I said cheerfully while I roll over to straddle him.
"It sure is! Good morning sweetheart." Ezra greeted while he caressed my thighs and kissed me again.
"So I was thinking we could stay in bed all day long.How does that sound to you?" I whispered seductively while nibbling on his ear and running my hands down his toned chest.
"That sounds amazing." He chuckled softly.
I started kissing him and grinding on him slowly, after a few minutes he pulled back and stopped me when I tried to kiss him again.
"Aria... Aria, hold on we need to talk."
"We can save the talking for later. We were kinda in the middle of something." I said annoyed and trying to kiss him again but he refrained.
"Ok fine, what do you want to talk about?" I huffed out in annoyance.
It's clear we're not having sex right now so I sit up on top of Ezra, he sat up too and pulled me closer to him; still straddling him. He had his hands on my bare hips, mine were resting on his shoulders playing with the baby hair on the nape of his neck.
"Um it's about yesterday." Ezra said nervously.
"We don't need to talk about it. We agreed last night, you shouldn't have said what you did and I shouldn't have slapped you. Ok there is nothing to talk about." I said reassuringly.
"I know we took care of that. But there's actually something else I need to talk to you about. There are no secrets between us, you need to know this." He said looking me in the eyes. I could see regret, worry and nervousness in his eyes.
"What is it? You're starting to scare me."
"Yesterday I was going to pick you up from school to see if you would talk to me. But before I left work something happened." He hesitated before adding "with a student."
I slide my arms off of his shoulders and looked at him, taken back. "What... What do you mean something happened, what did you do?"
He took a deep breath. "I was packing up all of my stuff so I could leave when Jessica, one of my students came into my office. She asked me out and I immediately declined. But she didn't back down, then before I knew what was happening she kissed me." He said the last part just above a whisper, then quickly added, "I pulled back the second it happened though."
As his words started to sync in, I climbed off of him and wrapped the sheets around my naked body, suddenly feeling very exposed and uncomfortable.
"You, you cheated on me? With a student none the less." The moment I whispered those words out loud tears filled my eyes.
"I promise it didn't mean anything to me! I'm going to The Dean first thing Monday morning to have her removed from my class, effective immediately."
"H- How could you do that to me? I thought you loved me, first you accuse me of cheating then you turn around and cheat with a student!" I said as tears were running down my face.
"Aria I'm so, so sorry. I promise I didn't know she was going to do that, I tried to get her out but she wouldn't leave then she just kissed me. Please you have to believe me!" He pleaded.
I didn't say anything; I just clutched the sheets tighter to me and looked down trying not to cry.
"Aria. Baby please, look at me. Say something anything just talk to me." Ezra pleaded again.
He reached out to put his hand on my face, I quickly slapped it away. "Don't touch me!" I growled sternly.
EZRA'S POV
I knew I had to tell Aria what happened with Jessica, I would never forgive myself of I kept something like that from her. When the words came out of my mouth I saw Aria's face drop, she was so happy 10 minutes prior. I know it's really bad because she won't even look at me right now.
"Aria. Baby please, look at me. Say something anything just talk to me." I pleaded trying to get her to talk to me, just tell me what she was thinking; anything!
I reached my hand out to lift her face to look at me but she just slapped it away again, and then said "Don't touch me!" very firmly.
My heart broke when she said that. I know I screwed up but she wouldn't look at me or let me touch her. I knew I would screw this up one day. She's way to good for me I knew in time I would find a way to mess everything up and lose her.
"I'm sorry; I'll do whatever I can to make it up to you! I want you and only you, please I can't lose you!"
She just shook her head, got out of bed -taking the sheets with her- and went to the closet grabbed some clothes then walked into our bathroom. She locked the door behind her I quickly jumped out of bed and pulled on a pair of boxers and sweats, and tried talking to her through the door. She came out of the bathroom dressed in her usual running outfit 10 minutes later. She didn't even look at me. Aria simply walked out of the room and into the kitchen. She grabbed her phone and keys and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked while following her through the apartment toward the door.
She didn't say anything just kept walking so I reach out grabbed her arm lightly and spun her around. She glared at my hand on her and I quickly let go.
"I said don't touch me." She stated firmly.
"I'm sorry please just tell me where are you going? Why can't you just stay here and talk about this with me?"
"Out. It doesn't matter where I am going, I can take care of myself." She responds in an annoyed voice.
"I know you can, I just want to make sure you're safe. I would never forgive myself if something bad ever happened to you." I said sadly.
"Yeah well too late for that." She stated simply.
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"You're hurting me, I thought you loved me and we would be together forever. I thought you were the one. Turns out I am just some stupid naive girl." I could see the tears in her eyes.
"Of course I love you, how could you ever doubt that? You and I both know you are not stupid or naive, please don't go. How can I fix this?" I begged her.
"Anything else you need to tell me?"
"No, that's it. I'm sorry."
"Just let me have some space, I need to go think and process. I'll see you later, bye."
"But Aria..." she just turned and walked out the door before I could finish. "I love you" I whispered the last part to myself.
I know she's overreacting but there is a reason for it. Things will be better for them next chapter, promise! Thank you for reading, review to let me know how to improve :)
