Sorry it's taken me such a long time to post chapter 2. I've been busy with school and that kind of stupid stuff. This chapter is much longer than the last, so enjoy! 3333
Love Nicole.
ARIAS POV:
Why was I walking towards this incredibly hot guy? This was a very bold move. He was the one who giggled at my comment. His sea blue eyes locked with mine as I stopped inches away from him. It looked like he was nervous with the way he was fidgeting with the book in his hands. Then finally the words I wanted to say came out of my mouth. "Watcha got there?" I asked gesturing to his right hand. I obviously knew, it was "To Kill a Mocking Bird" which was one of my favourites. I didn't care what he said; all I wanted to know was his name. "To Kill a Mocking Bird" he said. Then he looked embarrassed. "Listen, I'm sorry I laughed at your conversation over there. I just found your witty remark...remarkable." he gave a little boyish smiled that I'm already in love with. I felt some sort of connection with him even without knowing his name. "Oh that's ok and thank you" I said. Then he spoke again, "Listen, you seem like a really cool and interesting girl who is obviously into literature and I was just wondering if you wanted to I don't know get a coffee next door?" His blue eyes stared into me waiting for an answer. I had the words to answer him but they didn't escape my mouth as I tried to say it but his...his...everything. His dark brown hair with little curls, sea blue eyes you could stare at forever (like I was clearly doing right now), his muscular build that want that muscular, but just enough for me. I wonder what it would feel like to have his arms wrapped around me... I snapped out of it trying not to make it obvious that I was day dreaming about him standing literally right there...oh shit! I was just standing there not saying anything while this guy is waiting for an answer with anticipation in his eyes. Oh those eyes...ARIA STOP IT AND SAY SOMETHING! I tell myself. "Ummm I'm sorry I didn't get your name" I said with question in my voice. "Oh right! I'm Ezra. So I'm guessing that a...no to the coffee?" he said looking saddened. I should go get a coffee with him. I was getting one anyways. Why not with an incredibly handsome stranger? "No! I'd love to get a coffee with you. My name is Aria by the way." I offered out my hand. He took my hand and said "Nice to meet you Aria, I can't wait to learn more about you."
EZRAS POV:
Can't wait to learn more about you? Sure it was true but really? I've NEVER said that to anyone. I must really like Aria. I took her and not letting go. I didn't want to let go. If I could I would probably never let go of her soft little hands. She looked up at me with her big hazel eyes and smiled "It's nice to meet you Ezra." Then she pulled me towards her, our hands still inseparable. "I can't wait to learn more about you too" Aria whispered in my ear. Did that just happen? Yes it did. "Ready to go?" Aria said looking at the novel in my hand while the other was nestled with hers. "I am now" I said as I let the novel drop to the hardwood floor without a care in the world.
They stepped out of the book store hand in hand, into the still ongoing Rosewood rain. Rosewood is quiet on Sundays. People are probably dreading the first day of school which is tomorrow. The quiet surrounding was interrupted by Arias iPhone that beeped meaning she had a new message. Their hands separated as she checked her messages. "Shit" she muttered. She frowned and looked at Ezra's confused face. "I'm so sorry Ezra" she apologized. "I totally forgot that I had to pick up my brother and his friend from their lacrosse practice right now." "Well that's okay. Next time!" he said with a smile. Aria looked relieved as she said "Yes! Next time then and it's on me." They exchanged numbers still in the pouring rain. But that was the thing about liking someone. It doesn't matter where you are, it just matters that you're together. "Well see you around Ezra." She said as she walked towards her car. "Aria wait!" Ezra called catching up to her. She quickly turned around but before she could fully turn around Ezra's lips and body were already pushed up against her. Aria immediately responded and kissed back harder and harder. It was like fireworks were going off. She never felt this way for a guy she had just met and Ezra has never felt this way about any other women. Aria placed her hands around his neck and Ezra wrapped his strong arms around her waist while his hands roamed her back. Aria now knows what it feels like to have his arms wrapped around her...then Ezra gently broke up the make out session and said "Goodbye Aria" as he walked away.
ARIAS POV:
As I turned on my car one thing kept popping up in my mind. Does this guy always kiss random strangers he just meets? Meeting Ezra made me totally forget about picking up Mike...and Noel. I've always had a little crush on Noel. Mike always tells me Noel asks about me a lot which makes me think if he kind of feels the same way. But meeting Ezra and feeling the spark we have makes me wonder if Noel is just a crush and me and Ezra have a real future ahead of ourselves.
The rain started clearing up as I pulled into the Rosewood High lacrosse field parking lot. I wasn't too joyful about school tomorrow but I heard there's a new English teacher this year. I hope he or she isn't a very strict teacher because English is my favourite subject and what I'm going to major in. My day dreaming was interrupted by Mike knocking his fist against the back window of my car. "Open the door Aria it's freezing out here." Mike complained (such a baby) as I unlocked the door then Noel steps in and slapped Mike in the arm and said "Don't be such a jerk" as he winked at me. Sure I'm attracted to Noel but he isn't the type of guy that would go with me to a poetry reading or an art gallery without putting up a fight. Ezra on the other hand...
They both piled in the back seat and buckled up their seatbelts as Noel said "Thanks for the ride Aria. I really apprec-"Then Mike interrupted and yelled "Get a room you two. There's only so much my young ears can handle." Noel blushed and didn't argue. I on the other hand..."Oh really Mike" I started. "Your young ears can handle a lot actually. Remember last night when I walked in on you...under the covers...with headphones and your laptop watching inappropri-"Mike interrupted again looking embarrassed and yelled "ARIA STOP." I enjoyed bugging Mike about being a teenage boy. And apparently Noel did too, he was laughing hysterically and patted Mike on the shoulder "its okay buddy, we've all been there" and then looked at me in the rear view mirror and shook his head. That's what I like about Noel he could always make me laugh. Since Noel is my age not Mikes he's kind of like his mentor. "Noel are you coming over to our house? You're welcome too. Have your last "crazy" night before school starts tomorrow." I said with a laugh. "Of course he's coming over" Mike said as they high fived. Wait. Why did I ask Noel to come over again? I'm still asking myself that.
As I parked my car in the driveway, Noel and Mike quickly ran up to the front door and soon realized they didn't have the key to get in the house...I did. I got out of the car and wondered what Ezra's house looked like. Did he live in a big mansion looking over Rosewood? A nice condo? Or maybe he lived in a little apartment. A very artsy apartment filled with books of literature. "Come on!" Mike yelled. "Did I not make my point that I'm freezing?" Mike was just too easy to make fun of.
Preparing for school tomorrow, I gathered all my notebooks and grabbed my class schedule. Yes! English first period. Everything else was pretty normal. Right when I was about to call Spencer about when her lunch time was I heard a knock on my door. It was Noel. "Can I come in?" he asked. "Of course...so umm where's Mike? He let you out of his sight?" I said with a laugh. He sat on my bed. Where I sleep, well obviously where I sleep. He giggled but had a bit of a serious facial expression. "He went to the washroom. I wanted to talk to you privately, you know how Mike is with his young ears" Noel said. What did he need to say in private? "I came in here privately because I wanted to ask you something...do you want to go to a movie with me sometime, like...on a date?" he finished. I'm just as shocked as you are...
I hope you enjoyed the chapter! And DONT WORRY! There is much more Ezra and Ezria coming up. Noel just asked out Aria on a date. I wonder what her answer will be, after she met Ezra...Anyways please review and follow me on Twitter FutureHarding.
