I walked through the crowd once again in search of the love of my life. I scanned the faces hoping those sultry hazel eyes will find mine. No such luck. I sighed. I'd given up hope until I turned and saw Spencer looking at me over someone's shoulder. I smiled. Aria's dark brown curls were facing me. I would recognize that hair anywhere, believe it or not. I paced up to them and nodded to Spencer. Aria was talking to her but Spencer simply walked away.
"Spencer?" Aria shouted unbelievably at her best friend. She scoffed and flew her hands up in disbelief. I took a deep breath before placing my hand on her lower back. Aria whirled around angrily until I grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close.
"You going to keep that promise?" I whispered as I stared her in the eyes. She opened her mouth in surprise.
"Ezra..." she said so quietly I had to read her lips. I smiled down at her knowingly. "What are you doing here?" she shouted over the music. I simply shrugged. We both looked up as it started to sprinkle. In a matter of seconds, it began to pour down. I squinted down at her. She chuckled and wrapped her arms around my neck before jumping into my arms. I laughed as I wrapped my own arms around her waist. I glanced around and saw that the crowd I once had to fight my way through was now watching us from under the pavilion. I pulled back as did Aria. She cupped my cheeks with both hands and placed several hard chaste kisses on my lips before unwrapped her legs from around my waist. I let her slide down so her feet were on the ground. I leaned down and brushed my lips against hers lightly.
"I love you," I told her again. She smiled up at me as she bit her bottom lip seductively. I clenched my jaw as I watched her. I groaned as I pressed my lips to hers with force. I pulled away when I heard a song come on. I smiled softly as I looked to the pavilion where Emily, Hanna, and Spencer all stood next to the DJ with their thumbs up to us. I laughed as I back away from Aria and held out my hand. "May I have this dance?" I questioned her like a gentlemen. She clasped her hand in mine and batted her eyes.
"Why of course," she said back. I smiled and wrapped one arm around her waist and brought her closer. I cupped her other hand and placed it on my heart. She leaned forward and rested her head on my shoulder. I put my head to the side so my cheek was resting on her forehead as I began to sing softly.
I brushed your curls back so I could see your eyes
And the way you moved me was like you were in my mind
I can still feel you lean into kiss me
I can't help but wonder if you ever miss me
I haven't seen you in ages
Sometimes I find myself
wondering where you are
for me you'll always be 18
and beautiful and dancing away with my heart
Aria leaned back and looked at me with a smile. She leaned up and kissed me before placing her head back where it was. I sighed. How could I ever leave her behind? I snuck a glance over at the Montgomery's to see Mike and Byron smiling. For the first time since I told Ella about us, she was smiling also. She gave me a small smile and nodded. I lifted a corner of my mouth at her before closing my eyes. Yeah, this is where I belong.
