2 months later: (May)
The wedding preparations were underway. Jason was busy with work so I was busy at work planning the wedding whenever I went on break or when I got home. I didn't have much time to do anything else.
"You joining us for lunch?" My co-workers gathered around my desk. My desk was filled with books that I needed to go through and wedding plans or ideas. Everything was scattered and I had a book in my hands and wedding plans on my lap.
"No I'm going to finish this and go grab something later." They leave and I return to my book. I finish about an hour later and go outside to grab some lunch. I had my dress designs that I needed to finish to get into the designer. Spencer had connections in Philly. She had represented a designer in a lawsuit and I was having my dress done professionally. I went to the grille and ordered the soup and salad deal and went to sit down to wait. I got out my dress designs when I heard a familiar sound. I look up and see Ezra and Laura waiting in line.
"ARIA!" I get up and grab my food hoping he didn't notice me, but I wasn't so lucky. Ezra turns to look at me and smiles. He looked so happy with Laura and it actually hurt to look at him. I wave and go eat. I throw away half of my food and rush out to get back to work and away from Ezra.
I leave work and go home. I put my dress into a folder with everything else Spencer needs and put it to be delivered in the mail tomorrow. I make myself a quick dinner since Jason was working late and started working on the guest list. I already had Spencer as maid of honor and Emily and Hanna as bridesmaids. I put a few co-workers and my family. I put Spencer's, Hanna's, and Emily's family and then Jason's family. I put Ezra and a question mark next to it and leave it alone for Jason to fill in.
I go outside to get fresh air and grab a coffee.
"Aria?" I turn around and see Ezra coming over to get a coffee too. I wait while he pays and then we walk around the park.
"How are you?" I try to seem happy, but all I wanted to do is run home.
"I'm good."
"Congrats on the engagement. I guess that means Jason isn't hurting you anymore." I nod. Jason hadn't hurt me since he hurt himself and ended up in the hospital.
"We're doing great. What about you and Laura? You seem very happy." Ezra bursts out smiling.
"Laura is amazing. She's smart and funny. And beautiful. She's a man's dream."
"I should get back home. It was nice seeing you Ezra." I smile even though inside I was dying. I didn't want to see Ezra with anyone, but me. I wave good bye and go back to the apartment to find it empty. Jason wasn't back from work. I lie down on the bed and fall asleep.
I will post another chapter tomorrow! Sorry this is short! I'm busy and I sort of needed a filler chapter to get things rolling. Tomorrow will have a lot of Ezria.
