Chapter 13:
"Aria, I'd like you to meet Professor Roberts." Byron said taking Aria by the arm and shooting me a look that read 'the-fuck-are-you-doing-here?-Stay-out-of-my-families-life.' What ever. Aria looked at me sorrowfully and followed her father. Yay alone in a room full of old farts.
"You must be one of Aria's friends. I'm.." I cut off the man before he could introduce himself.
"Ezra. I would say nice to meet you but..." I shrugged walking away. He was probably a pedophile anyway.
"I've never seen you around before." Ezra said grabbing me by the wrist. I shook out of his grip and realized he wasn't going away. I began to walk around the gallery with him, looking for an escape.
"I'm new this year. I'm Nikita." I thrust my hand in his direction and he timidly shook it.
"Blake's sister huh." Ezra's face turned stone cold and I let out a small laugh.
"Well Nikita you look beautiful tonight." Ezra commented on the obvious.
"Thank you." I smiled politely and turned to see Aria staring at us. I mouthed 'help' at her and she let out a small laugh. Turning back to Ezra I could see him closely examining me. He was so close to me that I took the chance to really look at him, he looked like a baby prostitute. I don't know what Aria saw in him. As if on cue Ezra lent down and took my lips in his. Trying to get his tongue between his lips I nearly gagged. I jumped back from him and slapped him hard on the cheek. Ezra's hand hadn't moved from my waist and I quickly shoved it away.
"You fucking pedo!" I screamed before marching off. I saw Aria rush to my side and shoot Ezra a grossed out look.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know he was going to do that." Aria said grabbing our coats.
"It's not you're fault you went out with a fucking weirdo." I said slamming the door as I got into her car. Looking at the time it only read 8:30 and I felt a little guilty. We drove in silence the rest of the ride to Aria's dad's and I could feel her gaze constantly on me. Seeing if I was okay or whatever.
"I'm sorry for ruining your night." I finally said when we had pulled up at the driveway.
"It's not your fault hunny! I'm sorry I made you come tonight, I should have known Ezra would be all creepy." Aria pulled me into a hug and I let out a deep sob. I shouldn't have been this upset, I meant plenty of boys had stolen kisses from me before. But Ezra just reminded me of Mr. Gerald. The one man who I wanted so much to see dead, at least jailed. My thoughts were interrupted by a rapping on the window. I screamed at the top of my lungs as Aria laughed and the shadow opened the door.
"Good to see you to babe." Mike laughed, of course the figure was Mike. How could I have been so stupid?
"You gave me a fucking heart attack!" I screamed playfully hitting Mike.
"I can give you a heart attack while we're doing other things too." Mike mumbled pulling me into a kiss. It felt good to kiss him this passionately, this intensely compared to the freak Ezra.
"If you are going to be doing that you need to get out of my car." Aria laughed throwing me out of her car. Mike and I continued kissing till we got to the door. Opening the door he pulled me over to the couch.
"You took your time." Mike whispered into my ear, letting his fingers trail up my thighs. He placed his lips back on mine and slipped his tongue inbetween my lips. Our tongues moved together in unison and my fingers found their way into Mike's hair. Slightly tugging I pulled myself closer to Mike as he pushed my dress above my hips. He placed his warm hands on my waist as I unbuttoned his top. Shaking it off he moved his lips across my jaw bones and started nibbling on my neck. Moaning softly I pulled on the button of his jeans and Mike swiftly removed them.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Mike asked peeling away from me.
"I've never been more sure about anything." I smiled pulling my dress over my head exposing my practically naked body. I was straddling him, my breasts exposed and a thin black thong being the only item of clothing I wore. Mike smiled and continued with what he had been doing, letting his hands explore my body.
General POV:
"I don't know if Nikita is going to be okay guys." Aria told her friends. They were gathered at Spencer's discussing the recent events that had taken place.
"I don't get why Nikita is all worried. I mean tons of guys have tried that shit on her." Hanna shrugged. Heck her and Nikita had been discussing the amount of times guys had tried to get with them this morning. Why was she freaking out because of Mr Fitz?
"Hanna!" Spencer scolded.
"I know it just seemed different this time. Like she was shaken even when I dropped her at Dad's." Of course Aria agreed with Hanna, but she couldn't forget the look that crossed Niki's face after Ezra had kissed her. She was scared, purely scared. It was a look Aria knew she would never forget.
"We should talk to her before she does anything stupid." Emily spoke out. Emily had been quiet the whole night. Thinking about Paige, about A, about Ali, even about Maya. But the main thing running through her mind was Nikita. She saw the pain in Nikita's eyes every time they made eye contact. She could hear the pain behind Niki's voice every time she spoke. Even if no one else saw it, Emily sure saw the damaged soul of Nikita.
"Why don't we call her now? Get her over?" Spencer suggested.
"Nah she's with Mike." Aria said not wanting to disturb them.
"That's good! It means she's not out doing something she will regret right?" Spencer smiled, glad that Nikita was okay.
"Fuck! She may regret what she's doing now tomorrow morning." Aria exclaimed. Of course they were probably naked now. The very thought of it grossed her out.
"Getting the dick. You go Nikita!" Hanna called out laughing.
"Hanna! She was grossed out from Mr Fitz, I don't think she needs to be doing it now!" Spencer scolded. It was logical if one guy grossed Nikita out, she shouldn't be out looking for another. Hanna mumbled something in response and soon the two girls were in a fight with Aria trying to break them up. Emily sat there wondering what it would be like if A never existed, if Ali hadn't died. Would the four girls still be friends? Would they be discussing Nikita and Mike's sex life or would Nikita be unknown to the four?
"Guys stop fighting!" Emily sighed causing the three girls to shut up and look at Emily stunned.
"Sorry Ems." Spencer mumbled looking ashamed. Of course they shouldn't be fighting over something as stupid as what Nikita and Mike were doing. They should be focusing on the bigger issues, like the text they had recently gotten from A.
"Its nearing midnight guys." Aria whispered. Their hearts were pumping a million beats an hour with adrenaline. Soon it would be revealed to them who A was. Of course they knew about Toby and Mona, but they also knew there was someone else. Grabbing Spencer's laptop, Hanna clicked the chat icon down the bottom of the screen. In a mere few minutes A was going to log on and they would finally be able to find relief.
"What if no one logs on?" Emily whispered speaking what was on everyone's mind.
"We can't think like that. It has to be someone. And they are going to log on." Spencer said, with emphasis on 'are'. The clock stroked midnight at the exact same time the computer made a small beeping noise. Someone had just logged on. The girls all looked at each other, none of them knowing what to say. It couldn't be right.
"Should we chat him?" Hanna asked in a shaky voice. She had never been more shocked in her life, not when she found about Mona, not even when she found out about Toby. This was big.
"Too late." Aria commented pointing at the screen. 'A' had chatted them first.
Ian: Didn't expect this did you bitches?
Spencer: Is this really Ian?
Hanna typed in the question on the girls minds. Wasn't Ian supposed to be, well, dead.
Ian: Yes. Want to know a secret?
"Spencer?" Hanna asked. Of course Spencer would know what to say this was too much for Hanna. Ian was supposed to be dead. Spencer grabbed the laptop and typed something in reply.
Ian: Hi Spencer! It's good to hear from you. Melissa says hi too.
The girls all gasped as Spencer pushed the laptop away from her. Melissa says hi? That must mean... No, no! Melissa would have told Spencer if she knew Ian was alive, right?
"Guys do you think it is really Ian?" Emily asked her voice close to nothing.
Spencer: How do we know it is you?
Ian: Just ask something only Melissa or I know.
Spencer hid the computer screen and typed something for Melissa. A few seconds later Spencer's face went a ghostly white.
"It's them. At least Melissa is there anyway." Spencer sounded like she was going to pass out at any moment, but none of the girls knew why.
Spencer: Are you A?
Ian: No, but we know who is on the A team.
User has disconnected.
"So Ian isn't A?" Aria asked clearly shocked.
"A team? There's more still?" Hanna asked with her voice back. Clearly the logging out of Ian had brought the girls back to life.
"How is Ian still alive?" Emily breathed. Ian was supposed to be dead. Melissa wasn't supposed to be with Ian. Everything was wrong. As Spencer opened her mouth to reply all four of their phones went off causing Spencer's mouth to snap shut.
"Big woop Ian is alive! I came online for a second but you were clearly to obsessed with dead face. Would've been nice to have a chat. Love ya bitches - A xx" Aria spoke the text aloud and the Emily's eyebrows knitted into a face of concentration.
"I saw somebody come online, but didn't think anything of it." Emily mumbled, feeling the gaze of the girls on her.
"Come on, remember who it was!" Spencer begged, but Emily just shrugged and lent against the bed.
"I never read the name."
I never wanted Ian to die so yeah he's not dead! Anyhow read and review. The next chapter will be mostly Mike and Nikita btw. (:
