Aria's POV:

This date was actually going pretty well...so far. Noel picked me up at about quarter after six, roses in hand and looking handsome but casual. He didn't have to bring me roses. It's our first date not our anniversary. But I thought it was sweet anyhow. This whole Ezra and Noel situation is getting heavy on my shoulders and I want the heaviness off my shoulders and to never be seen or heard of again. If only Ezra knew I was doing this all for him. The way Ezra walks, talks, breaths, lives just makes me lure into him and want more. Ugh and his look! Hottest teacher in the history of hot teachers. The sexiest and hottest man I've ever laid eyes on. Noel is a boy and I need a man. Not just any man, the man. And the man is Ezra. I looked at my reflection in the crammed, small bathroom's dingy mirror. This was Rosewood's first movie theatre and now they play classic films, like the one we're seeing tonight for the one hundredth time this year alone. I love watching old movies on fall and winter Saturdays with a hot beverage. It makes me cherish the little things we take for granted. I wonder if Ezra likes doing those things. And if he does we could do those things together and I could replace that hot beverage for a hot English teacher. I told Noel to go ahead and find a seat in the theatre while I quickly run to the washroom before the movie starts. I reapplied my lip gloss and made my way into the lobby. The aroma of freshly popped popcorn filled my nostrils. I went down the hallway to theatre five, where the movie was playing. Right when I pushed the door to enter I was stopped by the feel of a hand on my shoulder. I turned around confused. Standing in front of me was Ezra. This isn't happening I ensure myself. This isn't happening this isn't happening; oh shit this really is happening. "E-Ezra what are you doing here?" I stuttered. Did Ezra purposely come here because of me and Noel being here? It was possible. He was present when I and Noel discussed our arrangements for tonight. Ezra smiled, "I had a free night so why not treat myself. It's one of my favourites too. What brings you hear tonight?" Like he didn't already know. Ezra changed out of his "teacher look" and into a gray Hollis sweatshirt and jeans. I was too distracted by why he was here to matter how good he looked. "I think you already know the answer to that question" I said with a voice that gave out the impression of me saying "I think you know exactly what I'm saying." He raised his eyebrows in question causing little wrinkles on his forehead to occur. It was like he had no idea when he actually did. I whipped around pushing the theatre doors open but was stopped once again. "Aria please wait! We can't leave it like this again. The more ignorance we have the more hard this is getting on us. We need to talk about things. We have to deal with each other and truthfully talk about our feelings. You know that word Aria? Truthfully? I mean come on, sending out mixed signals about us. I don't even know what to think. This isn't fair for me or you for that matter." He looked like he needed to get that out in the open and I'm so glad he did. He really wanted to talk when really I didn't expect to deal with it...right now anyway. Noel was probably wondering what was taking so long. "Listen Ez-" I started to explain myself until he interrupted me once again saying "Oh! And one more thing. Saying Noel is just a friend when you're on a date with him as we speak. I don't find that fair once again. To myself, Noel or yourself." I thought about what he said and I comprehended. All I said was "I totally agree that we need to talk tonight. Im not going to go another sleepless night thinking about you and this sticky situation we are in. I'd explain right now but Noels waiting for me. Maybe let out a little cough as a sign when the time is right during the movie so we can talk in private okay?"Ezra sighed but answered "Okay fine." He didn't seem thrilled because i knew he wanted to talk now. He opened his mouth to speak but stopped as he was staring at something behind me. i turned around and there i was standing in between Noel and Ezra. Noel looked at Ezra then me and then at Ezra again. "Hey! Mr. Fitz! What are you doing outside of school?" Noel asked enthusiastically. "Well Noel teachers do go out in public and have a social life...even though I'm here...alone." Ezra said that with half a laugh that turned into an unsure instinct on whether he should have said that or not."Well just because you're here alone doesn't mean it gives you the right to steal Aria from me. You both have some explaining to do." Noel said in all seriousness not blinking an eye. Oh no. Did he hear our conversation and how much did he hear? Ezra stood there motionless with his mouth open traumatized, absolutely stunned. I didn't even want to know what I looked like right now. After the awkward silence courtesy by Noel he burst out in laughter. Those made me breathe a bit easier. "Wow! It's alright guys. It was a joke." Noel explained. I and Ezra exchanged awkward glances and we both let out a fake laugh. "Ha...ha. That was very comedic Noel. Anyways, I better get a seat in there" he said gesturing to the double doors. "See you in there" he finished. "See ya!" Noel said. I just stood there still confused on what just happened. "I like Mr. Fitz. Seems like a nice guy, don't you think?" No response on my part. Noel touched my hand, "Aria? Hey! If this is about the joke I made I'm sorry. I didn't think you guys would take it too seriously. I mean come on you and Mr. Fitz! Don't make me laugh!" Noel struggled to say that because he was laughing so hard in between words. He grabbed my hand and led me into the theatre. This shall be interesting, and not in a good way.

EZRA'S POV:

I didn't bother getting popcorn for the movie. I would rather not eat my popcorn watching Noel and Aria make out. Me and aria making out on the other hand, I'd take that over popcorn any day. Aria and Noel walked in the theatre and sat a few rows in front of me. Good. Now I have to see them be passionate. Noel is smooth and is probably winning Aria over. Its 6:58pm and the movie should be starting any minute now. Aria asked me to let out a cough implying for me to walk out of the movie so she can follow and we can finally talk. The lights started to dim and the credits started rolling. It was only me, Aria, Noel and some random elderly couple in the very front row. I looked down to see Noels arm around Aria. Was it too early to cough? Cause I really wanted to! Noel whispered something in Aria's ear and she smiled and hit him lightly on the chest. What did he say? Aria whispered something back and he just gazed into her eyes then that was it. Noel pressed his lips to Aria's and they embraced for about 10 seconds. They continued to watch the movie and as Noel was tying his shoe Aria glanced back at me and mouthed "I'm sorry." That was enough to make me cough and get out of my seat. I waited in the lobby until Aria came. I thought about what I was going to do and I knew it was risky but I've learned me and Aria are going to have to take lots of risks if we want this relationship to work. I saw Aria rushing towards me with a guilty look on her face. "Ezra I am so sorr-" I felt bad that I was interrupting her again but his time was very necessary. Hopefully this kiss would make her forget about Noel...for good! She rambled on about how sorry she was and how she has no feelings for Noel like she has for me and about how all this was about making me jealous. The truth came out and I was so relieved. I held my fingers up to her lips and whispered "Shhh. There's no need to explain. I want to forget this ever happened. And since were being honest I need to tell you something. I don't care about the age difference. I know this is wrong on so many levels but...I need you." Before she could speak I kissed her so passionately that, this kiss alone could make her forget about Noel. She reacted right away just how I wanted her to. This felt right. All the words that needed to be said were out and it was the most amazing feeling in the world. "Should we take this somewhere else?" Aria asked seductively. "My car?" I answered. "Perfect."

I kind of felt bad for the guy. Aria just using Noel to get to me but it was a very flattering gesture. I got into the left side of my Toyota in the back and Aria took her place at the back seat right side. We sort of just stared at each other for a while. "Are you sure you want to risk everything for some student Ezra?" Aria said. Was she really calling herself some student? "Aria how many times do I have to tell you that you're not just some student? You're more than that." I caressed the back of her neck and moved a loose hair in the way of her beautiful face. "When I start something as important as a relationship I mean it. You are my everything now." I said. She looked up at me and smiled. "You have a way with words Fitz." "Thank you ." She laughed and she gave me a peck on the cheek. "The cheek? I spill my guts out to you and you peck me on the cheek? I exclaimed sarcastically. "You have more experience. Show me how it's done?" Aria said with a wink. "My pleasure." I replied. I kissed her on the lips, then on her neck a couple times then, lower. "I think I got the gist of things." She replied in between my kisses. She then took of her shoes and I leaned back waiting to see what was next. She straddled on top of me. I took off my sweater and Aria helped. Even though it was a cold fall night I was getting so hot. Off went my shirt. Off went my t-shirt. Aria looked down and smiled at the sight of my exposed chest. Even though I would have loved for it to go farther I know this would be taking things way too fast. I roamed my fingers in Aria's gorgeous hair and she let out a moan as things got hotter and heavier. "I can get used to this" Aria said. I smiled and we continued our passion. It was nice to get all those feelings out. We can finally embrace to each other. Just not in public. Hence why we're in a car. This was just the beginning of a beautiful thing. A very secret relationship...but a truly beautiful one.
