Thought I would just give you another chapter since I don't know when i am going to update this again... I hope that I will get to end this soon.
Aria's POV:
I woke up to the sound of my phone alarm going off. I groaned and rolled over Ezra to turn it off. He snaked his arm's around my waist and tugged me back over. I started to laugh when he kissed my neck and than my arm's.
"Good, morning sunshine" I joked and kiss his lips. "What time is your meeting?"
He shrugged "At nine I think, I am not sure. But your dad offered to take me and then we will come back here to pick up my car." I nodded and kissed him again, before rolling over him once more and got off the bed. "Where are you going? It's only six, we still have like an hour to lay around?" He pouted.
"Oh come on, lazy butt. I am hungry, I was going to get something last night. But you had a firm grip on my. I couldn't move." I answered as I put my robe on. "Are you coming or not?"
Ezra rolled his eyes playfully and slipped on his shirt. "Fine, but after that. We-" he was cut off by a knock on the door. I giggled and opened the door to my mother.
"Oh, your up. I was just making sure. Byron, told me that your meetings starts at ten. So he wanted to see, if any of you wanted breakfast first."
"I thought you said it was nine?" I asked he with a raise eyebrow.
Ezra, shrugged "I also said, I think. I wasn't sure, but at least we have a couple more hours now."
After breakfast, Ezra and my dad had gotten ready for the day. Anna, my mother and I stayed behind to clean up a little. Anna, was a bit more on the quiet side this morning. My dad told me at breakfast, that he just talked to Anna. He told her his story and why he didn't know about her.
I felt sorry for Anna, that Meredith. Took the chance of meeting her real father away, from both her and my dad. But I also respect, a little about what she had to go through. That guilt about almost breaking up a family, and sleeping with a married man. Although I would love to blame Meredith on this, I know my dad is at fault too. He wasn't so truthful and faithful to us and especially my mom.
"Aria, are you guys ready for lunch?" My mother called as she appeared from the kitchen. I looked over at Anna and saw her nod.
"Sure, mom." I called and stood up from the floor. After a couple of hours, of dusting and folding clothes. Anna, and I sat down in front of the fire place and I brought out some of our old photo albums. I wanted her to see our family, and not just Meredith's side.
"Mrs. Montgomery?" said Anna, as she pulled a chair out next to me. "Can I have some juice?"
I smiled and looked over at my mom. This is the first time that Anna, has ever spoken to her like this. Last night she was screaming, to go home.
"sure, sweetie. Apple or Orange?"
"Apple please"
Ezra's POV:
Because of the tornado, a few of us Professors. Would have to combine our classes. I understood why, but that was just a big inconvenient on the students. I don't see why, they can't just ask the community for help. Set up some tents and chairs and have the classes outside in the fresh air... Although I might just be saying that because my class, was one of them that would have to change.
"Ezra" Byron called, and I turned to face him with a fake smile on my face. "Cruel meeting huh?" He chuckled
"Yeah, I am pretty upset with the outcome. But I guess that's just because it's a big change." I admitted.
He nodded "I know, but it's something everyone is dealing with. If you don't mind." he paused as we stopped in front of his car. "Would you be open, to sharing your class with me? I mean, I can ask someone else. But I figured since we see more of each other now, it would be easier to set something up"
I pressed a thin line with my lips. It's one thing to be working with your girlfriends father, but to be seeing him all the time is something different. "That would be fine."
"Great, so let's head on back."
The ride back to the house was in silence. When we had pulled into the drive way, I texted Aria to tell her meet me outside. I just wanted to get her inside put, because we still had classes together. I didn't want Aria, to feel uncomfortable about Byron being in the same room. I know that I have slept here at the house multiple times, but this is different. For me Anyways.
"Hey baby" Aria, greeted me on the porch. "What's up?"
"Let's go for a walk?" I took her head and lead her off the porch. We walked a half a block down before I started to talk "Well, it seems your father and I will be combining our classes together."
She stopped and looked at me with concern "Are you serious?"
I nodded "that's what the meeting was about. Because of the structure of some of the buildings caused by the tornado. We need to combine our classes. Meaning you might just end up with Jackie."
Aria, shook her head "I cannot believe this. It's one thing to show affection, but when we are in class. You cannot stop staring at me Ezra"
I was a little taken back "Excuse me. You are the one that can't stop making Google eyes at me." I smirked.
"Not true. Even Spencer, see's it. She was the one that pointed it out. Ezra, believe me when I say this. A lot more people knew about the two of us, before we knew what the hell was going on."
I shook my head and pinched the bridge of my nose "Well, I can't help it. You're just so damn beautiful, and I can't take my eyes off you. Besides, the Dean seems okay with us" I pointed out.
"Okay, okay. I will admit that I do make Google eyes" Aria, blushed. "So what about Jackie?"
I shrugged "Do what you feel is right. I thought she was going to be fired, for being a pain in the ass." I chuckled
"So... Let me get this straight "Aria smiled "If she picks on me I have the right to kick her ass?"
I laughed and nodded "Within reason sweetheart, within reason"
She rolled her eyes "Your crazy, if I lay a hand on Jackie. I would get kicked out."
I nodded "See I knew you were smart. Besides, I cannot picture you in a fight with anyone. Your just so tiny, I am afraid for you."
Aria pushed me playfully "Hey" She giggled "did you not know, it's the tiny people that you should be afraid of." She jumped on my back "Now, because of your big mouth. You have to piggy back me all the way home" She bit my ear
"You are very lucky, I am hopelessly in love with you" I chuckled and started to walk back in the direction of the house.
Aria's POV:
Ezra, carried me on his back all the way to the house. I never really knew how strong he was, to carried all 110 pounds of me all the way down the block. But he did it, and I couldn't have been happier cause I didn't have to walk.
Ezra placed me down on the porch, and turned around to wrap his strong arm's around my waist "Want to go out tonight? Maybe a moonlight picnic?" He kissed my lips.
"Where? Rosewood, seem's damage" I told him wrapping my arm's around his neck.
"Well, we can go back to the apartment. Set candles, soft music. Just have a night in" He told me in the most mischievous tone.
"Ezra, as much as I would love that. I thought we'd just stay here the night. Anna-"
"Aria" Ezra, cut me off. "You are not her babysitter, your parents can take care of her."
"That's just mean Ezra. She's 7, and trusts us. We can't just leave her."
Ezra, shook his head "Your not her mother either, Aria. So stop acting like it." I was really caught off guard with his attitude.
I let out a harsh laugh as I just pushed him away and walked back into the house. I went straight upstairs and slammed my door shut.
I know I shouldn't have over reacted, but I feel really bad for Anna. A part of me just thought, what if I was in her position. Left behind, not knowing who my real father was? What would I be doing? I wanted to show Anna, that we are good people.
"Aria?" I heard Anna, call from the other side of the door. So I got up and opened it. "Are you okay?"
I nodded and moved aside to let her in. "Everything is fine. How are you doing?"
She shrugged and picked up one of my dolls. "I'm really bored. I want to play, can we go to the park or something?" She looked up at me with wide and pleading eyes.
"Sure, um. Do you know how to ride a bike? Because I think I still have my old one in the shed out back?" I asked standing up from the bed and walking over to the door.
"Is it a big bike? cause I can't ride a big bike."
I shook my head. "Don't worry, its a small bike. My parents kept what ever they could" I admitted "So are you ready? Why don't you go get your coat"
Ezra's POV:
Aria and Anna, came downstairs in warm clothes. I looked up and knitted my eyebrows at Aria, as she just ignored me. After my little speech, Aria just left me on the porch. I wanted to talk to her, but Byron told me it was time to make our schedule. So I figured I would just leave Aria alone to cool off.
"Where are the two of you going?" I stood up from the kitchen table when Ella, questioned Aria.
Aria, shrugged "A little sister bonding" she looked down at Anna, who was smiling brightly up at her. "Come on, the bikes this way." Aria, placed a hand on her shoulder and walked out the back door.
"I will be right back." I excused myself and closed the sliding door. "Where are you two going?"
"To the park" Anna, squealed "Aria, is letting me ride her bike."
I nodded and plastered a fake smile. "So you can take Anna, out but-"
"Ezra, stop." Aria, glared down on me.
"Well I am just saying. We really haven't spent that much time together and all of a sudden I am just being ignored." I crossed my arm's over my chest.
Aria, let out a heavy sigh before telling Anna to take the bike in the house. "What's your problem? Why are you trying to pick a fight?"
"I'm not. I just want answers, and your not giving them to me." I told her and rubbed the back of my neck.
"Ezra, I want to spend time with Anna. I feel really awful, how would you feel if your mother took you away from your father?"
"I would feel lost. But as far as Anna, was concerned before we brought her here. She thought Jason, your ex- was her father." I retorted.
Aria, smirked "Are you afraid that I might get close to Jason again?"
"No, He is miles away. I have no trouble in believing that there's nothing between the two of you" I told her a little too proudly.
"Just go home Ezra, you can sleep by yourself."
You don't have to review if you don't want to.
