It was 7 o'clock and Aria was getting ready to meet Noel. She was suprised that she was actually excited to see him. She walked out the door with a huge smile on her face. She arrived at the Pizza Place and Noel wasn't there yet. She got a table and pulled out her cell phone. She had a message from Spencer saying that her friends would come over when she got done with Noel. As she locked her phone and put it up, Noel walked in the door. He had on his long sleeve, blue plaid shirt. Aria had forgotten how attractive he really was. Noel walked up and apologized for being late,he had been with someone from his troop all day and wanted to freshen up. They ordered their food and talked about what happened over the last two years. Noel went to basic training straight out of high school and was deployed to Iraq six months later. Aria had explained how she was attending Hollis College and was majoring in education. After they finished eating they took a walk in the park. After an hour, Noel walked Aria back to her car. They agreed to hang out again soon and Noel gave Aria a kiss on the cheek. Aria drove back to her apartment where her friends were waiting at the door.
Aria walked in the door and was bombarded with questions from her best friends.
Spencer asked," What happened after you ate?"
Aria answered,"We went for a walk in the park and he walked me back to my car."
Spencer,"And it stopped there?"
Aria gave a little smirk,"No,he gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked back to his car."
At the same time Spencer,Hanna, and Emily all hugged her.
They left for the night and Aria layed down to get some sleep when her phone vibrated.
I had a great time tonight and I hope we can do it again soon. Sleep good.-Noel
We will definitely hang out again soon-Aria
Aria went to bed thinking about how cute Noel was and how good it was to see him, but in the back of her mind she still thought about Ezra and how much she missed him. She knew she needed to get Ezra out of her mind, but the only problem was she didn't know how.
