Aria's POV
I look through my closet trying to decide what to wear to Ezra's. I should have said no to Ezra, relationships only end in heart brake for me. Every time I try to reminde myself this, I think about his beautiful blue eyes. I honestly had no idea why I was spending so much time getting ready for this, he means nothing to me. I throw on a cute dress that Hanna bought me for my birthday and head out.
Ezra's POV
Aria is going to be here any minute and my appartment is a mess. I decided to cook fetachini for us. I quickly tidy my apartment up and put a nice shirt on. Is that smoke I smell? Before I can do anything the doorbell rings. It's Aria, she looks stunning.
" Ezra what's that smell?" She asks me.
Before I can respond the fire alarm goes off. Aria runs into my kitchen and turns off the stove. We both start laughing when we see the burnt food.
" So by the looks of things I'm assuming you don't cook to often." She comments.
" No not at all. I thought I would give it a try tonight." I explain.
Both of us start laughing all over again.
" I'm going to order a pizza." I tell her.
" Sounds good." She replies.
The two of us go and sit down on the couch.
" Want to play a game?" I ask her.
" Sure, how do you play?" She asks.
" Well I really would like to get to know you. So in this game I'll start by asking a question and then you ask me a question." I explain.
"Okay you go first she tells me."
I think for a moment and ask; "What's you family like?"
" Well umm I lived with my parents Ella and Byron and my 16 year old brother Mike."
" Do you guys get along?" Ezra asked.
" Nope that's two questions my turn." She says and smiles at me.
" Why did you decide to leave New York and come to Berkeley?" She asks.
" Partly because of their amazing writing program but mostly because I just wanted to get away from my family." I tell her.
I think she knows I don't want to say anything else so she changes the subject.
" Your turn." She tells me.
I hestitate for a moment but then a perfect question popped into my brain.
" So Aria, do you have a boyfriend?" I ask.
Aria's POV
" Wh-what?" I ask him timidley.
" Do you have a boyfriend?" He asks me again.
" Well I umm had a very serious one back in Rosewood but things didn't really work out." I explain.
" Why not?" He questions.
I forgot he only had one question so I answered," He ended up going to Duke and neither of us could handle a long distance relationship."
I really hope he does not realize I'm lying!
He seams to believe me and asks, " So do still have feelings for this boy?"
Before I can respond the Pizza man rings the doorbell. Ezra pays him and hands me a slice.
" Do you wanna watch a movie?" Ezra asks.
" Sure, what movies do you have?" I ask.
" I watch a lot of old movies so those are mostly what I have." He responds.
" I love old movies." I tell him.
" You can pick one." He tells me.
After looking through all of his movies I decide on " To Kill a Mockingbird".
" Good choice." He tells me as he puts the movie in.
About half way through the movie I fall alseep. I start to dream about Ezra and I. We are married and lying on the sandy beaches in Hawaii.
" I love you Aria." He tells me.
" I love you Ezra." I reply.
We are about to kiss when a noise interupts my dream.
" Ezra before you invite girls to sleep over you need to introduce me. Also warn me so I can go to Kelly's." Says a man whom I have never seem before.
It is then I realize that Ezra had fallen asleep too. His arm was around me and I was cuddled up to his chest.
" Hardy this is Aria. She wasn't sleeping over we were just watching a movie and we fell asleep." He explained.
" Sure." Hardy replies. He takes the movie out of the DVD player and says, " You made the poor girl watch one of your old movies? No wonder you guys fell asleep." He says as he walks into one of the bedrooms.
We both burst into laughter.
" I should probably get home." I tell Ezra.
" Okay but it's probably not a good idea for you to drive this late. Let me give you a ride." He says to me.
" Okay thank you so much." I tell him.
My car is still in his appartments parking lot so I have an excuse to come back soon. He unlocks his car and holds the door open for me.
" Sorry about Hardy." Ezra tells me.
" It's okay he seams like a um nice guy." I reply.
" I guess that's one way to describe him." He says.
We both start laughing.
" Your car is in my lot so do you need a ride to class tommorow?" He askes.
" Sure my first class doesn't start until 3 though. I tell him.
" So I'll see you then." He says to me.
Right then we arrive at my appartment.
Ezra's POV
I walk her up to her appartment.
" Goodnight." She tells me.
"Goodnight." I tell her.
Before she can shut the door I pull her closer to me and kiss her. She kisses me back. We stay like this for a minute. All of the sudden she pulls away. I see a look of panick wash over her face.
"See you latter. Thanks for the ride." She says and shuts the door in my face.
Gosh did I mess up! I pushed her way to far. She probably still has feelings for that boy at Duke. I sadly walk back to my car.
Aria's POV
Tears are streaming down my face. Ezra and I had chemistry, there was no denying that. I had so much fun tonight and that kiss was amazing. I want things to work out between us, but there is now way I can go through this again. Ezra probably hates me. I guess I'll just think about tommorow.
