A/N: I'm back! So this chapter is not too long but I don't want to over-think this story to make it longer so I just write whatever comes into my head luckily that'll be enough. Enjoy :)
EZRA'S POV
An hour has already gone by. I got a book from my back s soon as we were in the air tired of hearing Hardy talk about the girls that were next to us.
"Isn't she hot?" he whispered into my ear. "You like her don't you?" He kept saying things like that until I couldn't take it anymore. I closed my book instantly putting my headphones on, giving Hardy a death glare which made him smirk, before closing my eyes.
A few minutes later I was fast asleep and even in my dream all I could think about was the petit girl sitting next to me. When I woke up and looked to my side I was surprised to see Hardy instead of the girl I desperately wanted to see. He was talking animatedly to the blonde girl of the group. To my surprise the two of them were very alike. Hardy took out a pen and handed it to her which stoop up followed by him. As I expected they started to draw in one of her sleeping friends face. I took my headphones out and leaned back in my seat. A sudden movement made Hardy and the blonde girl sit back down giggling.
"You two are so much alike" I said laughing.
"We don't look alike" said Hardy as a matter of fact.
"No you don't but you're both like five year old"
"Touché" said the blonde girl.
"I'm Ezra" I said introducing myself. She instantly offered me her hand and I shook it.
"My friend likes you" she said and I couldn't help but blush at the thought.
"Nice to meet you 'my friend likes you'"
"Hanna" she said. I gave her a nod and gave both of them a look before standing up.
"Don't do anything while I'm gone" I told them laughing. I walked toward the bathroom wondering where she was. Its not like she could go far either. I waited leaning against the wall for the bathroom, lost deep in my thoughts. The door opened slightly and due to the small space a small body crushed against me. I quickly managed to wrap my arms around it before it fell. Her back ended pressed against the wall with my hands still holding her by her waist.
When she looked up those eyes I had been looking for found me. I instantly became in shock, not knowing what to do, not being able to tear my eyes away. She was a real beauty. Those big bright hazel eyes, her long hair falling down until her shoulders, her lips… oh her lips. She stared back at me and then, I guess without even noticing, wet her lips teasingly slowly making me look down at them and then back up.
All I wanted to do in that moment was to kiss those lips of her. They were so tempting. We hadn't even noticed we had been standing there for a few long minutes until an old woman tapped my back asking if she could use the bathroom. I nodded and tore my hands away from the spot they had laying on her waist. We both looked at each other and blushed. Before I could apologize or say anything she was walking back to her seat.
What had happened? I thought. As soon as the old woman came out I went in and splashed some water on my face. Who was this girl and why was I feeling that way? I went back to my seat to find Hardy and Hanna were still sitting next to each other too engrossed in playing flappy bird to even notice my arrival.
"They were too concentrated in the game for me to argue with them" she said from what was supposed to be Hardy's seat. I nodded feeling the awkward tension squeezing my way to the left middle seat. Once I was comfortable, I gathered up all my courage and turned to her.
"I'm Ezra by the way" I told her.
"Aria" she said her voice sweet and soft. I couldn't help but smile at her making her smile back and then look down to hide her blushing.
I got my book out of my back again hoping to read a little now that Hardy was distracted. As I started reading were I had left off, a voice stopped me. I thought it was me hearing things until I realized it was Aria.
"Excuse me?" I asked closing the book and turning to face her.
"You don't seem like someone that likes the classics."
"What can I say, Gatsby is my favorite, and I'm a sucker for classic or once in a while one of those cheesy novels." She let out a giggle and smiled. Even her laugh I liked. "Are you laughing at me" I said pretending I was hurt as my hand flew to my chest.
"Never" she said pointing behind me. I turned around to see Hanna and Hardy making heart with their hand and trying to make romantic noises, which I have to say turned out very weird. I blushed giving them both a look and turned back to Aria.
"Well that's embarrassing" I said. "I'm sorry Hardy is always acting as if he was a child."
She smirked and leaned closer to me, for an instance I though she was going to kiss me, but then she tilted her head to the side to whisper in my ear. "Is it that, or do you just like me?"
"Me? Like you?" I scoffed. "You wish"
She leaned back in her seat. Goddamn, I liked her.
"Oh excuse me, I totally forgot nerds like you are always taken." She said chuckling.
"I'm not a nerd, and how do you know I'm single huh?" I said defiantly.
"So you're not single?" she asked.
"Maybe not" I said teasing. She probably took it the wrong way assuming the worst because she let out an 'oh' and went back to listening to her music. I thought about not saying anything else but an idea came to my head.
I reached out for one of her headphones pulling it out and leaned forward to whisper In her ear. "Are you sure its not you that likes me? Because if you do I could buy an M&M bag so we can share"
She looked at me as a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Sounds good" she said.
Half an hour later we were both listening to her music as we hummed softly to the songs. I got the packet of M&M pouring some into my hand. She reached out quickly, picked out a blue and popped it into her mouth.
"Hey! I like the blue ones" I said closing my hand so she could get anymore.
"But I like them too" she said pouting. She was so cute, I thought.
"Then get your own ones" I said laughing.
"They are better if u give them to me" she said pouting again. Was it possible to like her even more than I already did? Because if it was I was positive it was going to happen.
She huffed taking the headphone I was using and putting it back on her ear before crossing her arms over her chest. I got all of my blue ones handing them to her. She smiled happily as she another one and put the headphone back into my ear. A minute later a new song started playing.
"I love this song" we both said at the same time. Happiness by The Fray was playing. We both turned to stare at each other smiling. We had so much in common.
The flight was coming to an unwanted end and all I could think about was how much I wished I could be with her everyday.
"Is my tongue blue?" she asked sticking it out. I chuckled.
"Very blue" I said.
"Yay!" she exclaimed like a little child on purpose.
"That's not fair" I said with baby voice.
"Who's being a child now huh" she said.
"You have been the whole flight" I said smiling and the crossed my arms over my chest like she had done before. She smiled too and quickly leaned in to give a kiss on the cheek. Before I could even react she was back in her seat blushing, again. My body screamed for more. Her lips had felt so soft against my skin and my urge to kiss her increased as the last few seconds flew by. I was trying to figure something to say that didn't make seem to stupid but before I had the chance one of the flight attendants started talking.
"Dear passengers, we inform you we are about to land at the Punta Cana airport, so please put your seatbelts on. We hope you had a nice flight with our company."
I put on my seatbelt and then looked at Aria. She was holding tight the side of her seat with her eyes closed as she took deep breaths. I reached out holding her hand in mine, which made her open her eyes to look at me.
"It okay, nothing will happen you don't have to worry" I said tried to reassure her. Her eyes never left mine, but she didn't say anything. She kept taking deep breaths. "Listen, when I was little my parents got divorced, and I had to fly to New York every month to see my mom. Nothing has happen, ever, and nothing will happen now."
"That is not going to make me less scared airplane boy" she said. Not knowing what else to do and not wanting to see her like that, I pushed the button of the armrest pushing it down. I moved closer to her and pulled her in wrapping my arm around her. She snuggled closer to me and muttering a thanks.
She looked up at me, the distance between our lips suddenly very small. I looked at her lips and then back at her eyes as she did the same. We began to lean in slowly, savoring the moment. When our lips were inches away from each other the plane landed with a loud noise making us both pull back.
The eight of us got out of the plane as I introduce myself to the other two girl and the rest did the same. They started to walk ahead of us to luggage claim and Aria and I stayed behind. Still not saying anything. Our hands brushed as we walked reluctantly toward the queue of people. We made our way to where our friends where, some of them already with their suitcases.
A few seconds later my suitcase appeared and I grabbed it and let it on the floor. I saw Aria struggling to pick up hers, I chuckled and help her leaving it on the floor too. The boys were waiting for me at one side and I saw them pointing to a cafeteria and then they headed toward there. Aria's friends were behind us waiting to go outside.
"It was nice to meet you Ezra" she said smiling. As sad as I was, I couldn't help but smile. I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek lingering a second longer than I should have.
"You too" I said. She then nodded and started walking toward the exit with her friends. I stayed there staring at her until she disappeared through the door. Disappointment run through me instantly.
The boys were already on their way back. We followed Hardy out the door, as he was the one that had all the information about the hotel. I saw Aria standing with her friend next to a man with a hotel banner. The girls were too busy talking to see us. Hardy kept walking closer to them when he finally exclaimed he had seen our hotel car.
"So look who's here" he said stopping next to the girls. Could this be really happening? Aria turned around with hope in her eyes. We stared at each other without saying anything.
"So we're ready to go" said the man with the hotel suit.
For some unknown reason life had finally been kind to me. It was really happening. I had seven days more to win Aria and I wasn't planning in wasting any of them.
