Author's note: Thanks for the reviews, I absolutely loved them AND your guesses! ;)
I know I just updated my story yesterday, but since it's weekend I had some extra time to write and so I thought I'd just put it online now! ;)

Enjoy!

As Aria heard that message, she just froze where she stood and dropped her book on the floor.

She stood there for a couple of minutes, just staring at his answering machine. After regaining her ability to speak again, she said, "Oh. My. God. This isn't happening", whilst shaking her head. If he took that job, then he would teach at her school. Her HIGH SCHOOL. He would find out that she's a student there, that she's only sixteen and he would never want anything to do with her again. "Oh! Why did I lie to him?", she asked herself out loud. "This is…really bad", Aria continued. She started freaking out, pacing back and forth in front of the answering machine. When all of a sudden she took a step closer to the answering machine, pushed a button and the answering machine said "Message deleted".

She sighed and relaxed a little. This problem was solved for now, right? Then all of a sudden it began to dawn on her what she had just done. "Oh no! What did I just do? I just met the guy and I'm already ruining his career, his life!", Aria asked herself. She started panicking again and said, "I need to get out of here". She started gathering her stuff that was all around the apartment. As she picked up her dress from the floor, the door opened and Ezra walked in with breakfast, saying "I'm back!". Ezra saw Aria standing there with almost all of her stuff in her hands, looked at her questioningly and asked, "Were you planning on leaving before I got back?". "What? No…No! I was just collecting my things so I don't forget anything later. I'm kind of a control freak", Aria lied. "Oh! Of course you were! I'm sorry, that must have come across weird", Ezra apologized. "No, not at all. It's okay ,really", Aria replied.

During breakfast, they talked about how Ezra had backpacked through Europe the summer before he started college. He talked about how he had always wanted to become a writer, but that when he went to college, he became really interested in teaching. Aria just listened to him, he was so passionate about it all, and she liked that about him. It also made her feel even more guilty about what she had done earlier. But it's not like he wouldn't be able to find another teaching job, right? Just not one at her high school, were she went, because then he'd find out that she had lied to him. Aria was off into her own little world, but she snapped out of it as soon as she heard Ezra say, "I thought that I would have heard back something from my job applications by now, but nothing. And the new school year starts in two weeks, so I don't really have that much time anymore".

Aria couldn't take it anymore, she would just have to tell him the truth. She opened her mouth to say those dreadful words, but other words came out instead. "Maybe… I can help?", Aria suggested. "My friend Spencer", Aria stopped herself from finishing that sentence. "I mean, my friend Melissa's little sister, Spencer, goes to a private school in Rosewood. She's an honor student there and their family is really well connected. Maybe I can ask them to try and get you a job interview there, if you want?", Aria continued. "Really! That would be so great if you could do that!", Ezra replied enthusiastically. "I am honestly so glad that I met you. You are the most perfect woman I've ever met. I haven't even known you for a full twenty-four hours and you're already changing my life, for the better", Ezra said as he looked deep into her eyes. Aria gave him a big smile, but a fake one. He hugged her and her big fake smile turned into a face full of regret, because she realized that everything he had just said wasn't even in the least true. If only he knew…

After their hug, Aria got off the couch and said, "Well, this was really nice. But I should probably get going now". Ezra looked at her, the disappointment clearly written on his face and said, "Oh, okay…well, you know where the bathroom is in case you want to change back into your clothes, unless you want to go home wearing that?", referring to the fact that she was wearing nothing but his shirt. "Oh right, silly me!", Aria giggled and grabbed her stuff and headed to the bathroom. Ezra got up and brought their plates to the sink to wash them. As he returned, he saw a book of his lying on the floor. Ezra wondered how that got there and walked over to pick it up. Just then Aria walked out of the bathroom, and stopped abruptly, her eyes widened. She forgot all about that book.

Ezra turned to Aria and asked with a questioning look on his face, "Did you drop this here?". Uh-oh, what was she going to say now? "Yes. I dropped it, when I heard the message you got where you were offered a job at my high school", might not be the best answer right now, she thought to herself. Nevertheless, she needed one, and like now. "Uhm, yes, I did. I…wanted to read it", Aria said not really knowing what to say here. "Then why is it on the floor?", Ezra asked her looking confused. Aria cursed herself on the inside, how was she going to get herself out of this one? That was not a question she wanted to hear, or to answer. Until, all of a sudden, a light went on in her head, and she lied, clearly satisfied with herself for coming up with this, "Because I was reading it, whilst sitting on the floor. One of my many quirks. I know, it's weird". Aria looked at Ezra, waiting for his reaction. It seemed like forever. Then Ezra smiled, chuckled and said, "No, that's actually quite cute". Aria sighed with relief on the inside.

Ezra put the book on the bed, walked over to her, gently kissed her on the lips, looked into her eyes and said, "I really like you, Aria". Aria felt weak in the knees when he said that. She smiled and replied, "I really like you too, Ezra". As she said that, she felt an annoying feeling in her stomach. "Guilt, just go away already", she thought to herself. Ezra took her hands in his and asked, "How about you and me go out tonight? Dinner at a nice restaurant?". "I would love to!", Aria said with a big smile on her face. Then they exchanged phone numbers and she gave him her address. "Pick you up at 7?", Ezra asked. "Sounds perfect!", Aria replied. They kissed each other goodbye and Aria left his apartment to go home.

Awww! Now wasn't that just cute! You know, if you look past all the lies…
