Chapter 3

A/N: they are in the aparment in the end of chapter 2 and all of this chapter. :)

"Aria I promise you, it was an unexpected visit. Symone was picking up her stories since she was leaving in the morning. I'm sorry I didn't have time to give the heads up. By the way I meant what I said in the parking lot, I love you and only you. I'm so sorry." Ezra said getting up from the couch.

"Ezra, Symone explained to me that she knows about us. And that we had to make sure not to get caught. I just wish I got at least a text." Aria said smiling, " By the way I am sorry for over reacting like that."

"Well, to be honest you're adorable when you over react. Wanna know how you can make up for it if you feel that bad about it?" Ezra said a sly smile in his voice.

"How?"

"Kiss me, forgive me, and you can help me make something in the kitchen."

(A/N: its prolly like after midnight here but who says you can't cook after midnight )

Aria sat on the counter while Ezra started a cake beside her. The smell of chocolate cake batter was to die for. Ezra put the cake in the oven to bake. He looked her as he eat the batter. Aria ran her finger across the bowl and gave Ezra a taste of the batter using her finger. That was Ezra's cue to sweep her off the counter into a dip in his arms.

"Did I tell you how amazing you looked tonight?" Ezra said looking into her eyes.

"No you didn't." Aria was giggling at this point.

"Well you did. All I wanted was to do what I just did, at the dance to be able to dance the night away with you." Ezra said kiss Aria lightly.

"You were very handsome tonight, babe. Um Ezra?"

"Yea,"

"You may wanna check the cake I think it's done." Aria said.

Ezra put Aria back on the counter and took out the finished cake. He got the frosting and started putting it on it. The smell of the chocolate cake was filling the air it made Aria want to dig in forget about frosting the cake. She decided to let her slipper slide off hoping that Ezra would notice. After he finished frosting the cake and washing his hands, he looked at Aria and smiled. He picked up the slipper that fell and whispered "milady" as he put it on for her. He kissed her.

"So, am I forgiven?" Ezra said kissing her cheek.

"I'm thinking about it." Aria replied getting of the counter to get a taste of the cake.

"Oh come on. You know I love you." He said kissing her neck as he wound his arms around from behind.

"Let me get a piece of cake, then you can distract me all you want." She said. Ezra continued to run his hands from her waist to her collarbone. "Can I get my cake?"

"Yes but I want your attention more." Ezra smiled.

Once Aria cut herself a piece of cake, she started giggling because Ezra's breath was tickling her neck. She let herself loose from his grip and sat down the on the couch. He was after her again.

"Can you control yourself. I want to watch the movie." Aria said kissing him lightly, "After the movie you can let loose all you want."

"Okay okay." Ezra replied.

They cuddled up on the sofa to watch Romeo and Juliet. It was nice, cozy and peaceful in the apartment. Suddenly Aria was thinking of what might happen if anyone other than her friends and Symone had found out about her and Ezra. It'd be catastrophic. She wondered what her parents would think. But she and Ezra agreed that they'd tell everyone after her graduation party. She'd been together with Ezra a year. She planned on moving in with him after they told everyone. With graduation a month or so away she was hoping that their secret wouldn't be out until they were ready to bring to light. That and she knew she wanted the secrecy with her parents to stop and show everyone how good they are together. This is what she wanted.

"Aria? Are you alright?"

"Yea why?"

"Are you thinking of what's going to happen when we tell everyone?"

"Yea. I'm afraid my parents will have you arrested before we get the story out."

"Don't worry about it everyone will be fine. We'll tell the truth and hope for the best."

"Alright." Aria snuggled a bit closer feeling a bit more safe.

Ezra started mimicking Romeo's lines during the balcony scene and whispering them into Aria's ear. She giggled. He turned her face to his and kissed her lips as gently as he could. She put her arms around his neck pulling him close to point where he was on top of her on the couch. He began to get more aggressive with his kiss.

"Ezra…" Aria whispered as his kisses started trailing from her lips to her collarbone. She gasped and moaned.

He said nothing and began to be more and more gentle with his kisses. Aria couldn't be happier. She loved Ezra. Nothing was going to stop them from being together. It would be a matter of time before they could be seen in public together as a couple. The sooner the better, she hated sneaking around. Yea, it had its perks, bit the perks didn't outweigh the cons. She was sure Ezra wanted to stop the secrecy. For now, she wanted to enjoy what they had now: the late nights in his apartment, their make-out sessions, the times they spent cuddled up on his couch or bed and even the stolen moments at school. Of course she enjoyed it all but she wanted to end the secrecy once and for all, so she and Ezra could be seen together in public without worrying about being caught. She also wanted to her mother Ella Montgomery to stop trying to set him up with other girls and see that he is taken. That's why she couldn't wait until graduation, because after that they finally would be able to not hide anymore.

A/N: They have not had sex yet. Though in the deleted scene it gets steamy. I'm posting the deleted scene after the story is finished which should be soon. Warning though, chapter 4 will be a bit long in my opinion. Thanks for reading please review.
