I do not own Pretty Little Liars. Just a fun story that I was thinking about.

Chapter 2

As he pulled up to the coffee shop, Ezra couldn't help but think about that rainy afternoon when he saw Aria there. He remembered slowing down and the look they shared as they made eye contact through the rain spattered window. He knew he had to keep driving but he just couldn't. He stopped a few feet ahead and opened the door, signaling her to get in the car.

Remembering how they had kissed put a smile on his face as he parked the car. Before he got out of the car, he grabbed his phone.

Thinking about that rainy afternoon. Too bad I'm here with the wrong Miss Montgomery.

Aria looked at her phone and smiled. She too remembered how she felt that rainy afternoon. It was in the very early stages of their relationship and things were so confusing and so very complicated. Not that things still aren't complicated. But at least they seemed to have found a way to be together despite the complexities of their relationship.

If it's not too late, maybe I can come over for a bit after you have coffee with my mom?

Sounds good. No, wait. Sounds great! There's your mom. Got to go. I love you, Aria.

I love you too, Ezra.

Ella waved to Mr. Fitz as he exited his car. Holding the door open for her, they walked into the coffee shop.

After ordering their coffee, they walked over to an empty table in the back of the coffee shop near a large window.

"So," Ella began, "Read any good books lately?" They both laughed at the corniness of her question.

"Not recently," replied Ezra. I have been too busy dating your daughter, he thought to himself and stared out the window.

They began a stimulating conversation about the various authors they enjoyed reading. Ezra found it interesting that both Ella and Aria had the same taste in literature. As the conversation progressed, he realized just how similar Aria was to her mother. Although he had originally been reluctant to go, he was pleased to be able to develop a deeper understanding of how Aria came to be Aria.

An hour passed and Ezra checked the time on his phone. It was almost 8:00, and it was a school night. If he was going to see Aria, he had better get going soon. He set his phone down on the table and turned his attention back to Ella. Five minutes later he excused himself to use the restroom.

As he entered the men's room, he reached for his phone. His intention was to text Aria to let her know he was ready to leave. It was then he realized he hadn't picked the phone up from the table when he left. He decided that he would just text Aria when he got in his car. He washed his hands and returned to the table.

Ella sipped her coffee as she waited for Ezra to return. Suddenly she heard the familiar sound of a text message alert. Absentmindedly, she reached for Ezra's phone, thinking it was hers, to silence it. Realizing it was not, she noticed a text message from someone named AM. She didn't mean to read it, but she couldn't help herself.

Will I be able to see you tonight? In your arms is the only place I want to be. -AM

Ella looked up and saw Ezra come out of the restroom. She laid his phone on the table, slightly ashamed of what she had done. She didn't realize he had plans for later with the mysterious AM.

"Ezra," Ella said abruptly, "I think it's time we call it a night. I am sure you have plans for the rest of your evening"

Ezra, startled, looked at her.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"OK, Ezra, I am just going to fess up now. You got a text while you were in the restroom. I didn't mean to look, I really didn't. Your phone is the same model as mine. It was just habit and…I don't know…I'm sorry.

The color drained from his face as he prayed the text wasn't from Aria. Please, please, please, he thought. Let it be my parents, my brother, or Hardy, anyone but her.

"Who's AM," inquired Ella.

Thanks for all the great reviews from chapter 1! Hope you like this one even though it is kinda short.
