"You almost ready yet?" I yelled at our bedroom door.

"Hold on!" Aria yelled back, "You want me to look nice don't you?"

"You always look nice, hun. You could be wearing nothing and still look perfect."

"You're such a guy, you know that?"

"You say it like it's a bad thing"

"Yeah, I'll be out in one second!"

I sat down on our couch and flipped through the channels for a few minutes when she finally came out.

"Alright, let's go."

"Well, you look nice!" Aria was wearing a short black strapless dress that had a light blue sash around the waist, and she had on high heeled strappy black sandals. She still wasn't tall enough to reach my mouth though, so she went up on her toes and kissed me.

"Thank you, so do you."

"Why thank you, my dear."

"So where are we going?"

"We are going to that new Italian restaurant that opened. Would you want to walk? I mean, it would only take 10 minutes or so, and I feel like it would take longer to find a parking spot."

"Sure, that's fine."

So we left the apartment and started walking to the restaurant. I was so nervous the whole time. When we walked, I held her hand with one of my hands and the other one was in my pocket, the pocket that the ring was in. I wanted to make sure she didn't notice the bulge from the box, but if she did I would just tell her that it was my wallet. However, I hoped she wouldn't notice.

We finally got to the restaurant and enjoyed our food. We even bought a bottle of wine to enjoy, it didn't help that I needed it to loosen up a little either. I was surprised that I was able to eat as much as I did for how nervous I was. I think Aria might have noticed that something was going on, but I don't think she had any idea what was really going on. After we were done eating we started on our way back to the apartment. Whenever we could see the little plaza in the center of town in the distance Aria noticed something.

"Ezra, do you see those lights over there?"

"Yes..." my stomach did a little flip...of course I saw them. I knew all about them.

"What do you think they are?"

"Here, let's go see." She started to hurry closer to them, "Oh! Look how pretty! The gazebo and everything around it is all light up!"

"Do you want to go see it close up?"

"Sure!"

So we walked until we were in the gazebo that was in the center of the plaza. The gazebo had a dusting of tiny little lights all over it, like the kind of lights that you use at Christmas time. The bushes and trees around the gazebo also had lights on them.

"It looks gorgeous doesn't it?"

"Yes it does, Ezra. I've never seen this part of Rosewood look so pretty! I mean, it has always been one of my favorite parts, but it has never been this beautiful."

"You're beautiful." I put my arms around her, and then we started to kiss, slowly but passionately. I broke the kiss after a few seconds when I saw something out of my eyes that I had almost forgotten about. "Here, for you!" I handed her a bouquet of white roses, her favorite.

"Ezra! Put those down! Those are someone else's, they might come back to get them!"

"No, Aria. They're for you."

"What do you mean? We just got here..."

"Aria, this is all for you. One fall day seven years ago I met a 16 year old girl at a bar who I almost instantly fell in love with. It hasn't always been easy, but I love her more and more everyday. Aria, you make me happier than anyone has ever made me, and you fill a space in me that could not be filled otherwise." At this point, I put my hand in my pocket to slowly get out the ring, "I have always known that I have wanted to spend the rest of my life with you and I have been thinking that it is time for us to take the next step and move forward together. I love you more than anything" I pulled out the box and kneeled down on one knee, I could already see tears welling up in her eyes. "Aria Montgomery, will you marry me?"

She nodded her head as I put the ring on her finger. "Of course, Ezra. I love you."

"I love you too." With this I took her in my arms and kissed her. We stood there in each other's arms for a while.

"You're my fiancé now, Ezra. Can you believe that?"

"It's a great feeling, isn't it? You're the future Mrs. Fitz."

"Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Fitz...I'm going to be Aria Fitz!"

I nodded, "Yes you are, my dear!"

"Did you put up these lights and everything?"

"I didn't but Hardy and Hanna did."

"Oh! They're so wonderful! I have to call everyone up and tell them, this is amazing news!"

I chuckled, "I've already called everyone who could possibly need to know, but I'm sure they would love hearing it from you."

We kissed again and it was one of the best kisses I have ever had in my life, however, I knew one much better was waiting around the corner.

Yay! End of story!

Hope you all enjoyed it!
