Aria POV:
Moving into Ezra's townhouse was like one huge party. There singing and dancing, and just basically the 7 of us having fun. Hanna had set up speakers and was blaring music. Right now, "Rolling in the Deep" (my all time favorite song) was shaking through all parts of the house. I was upstairs, putting away clothes and was singing along.
"You know, your voice is lovely," said Ezra soft voice, almost not wanting the moments to be disturbed.
"Thanks," I said, walking to his side and wound my hands around his neck. I pressed my lips against his and my hands immediately went to the hem of his shirt, as I tried to pull it off his body. I was pretty successful until his hands pushed mine away.
"Not now," he said breathlessly, and laid his forehead against mine. "Later. Everyone's basically finished downstairs," he said taking my hand and leading the way.
Everybody had left around 5, and Ezra and I were laying together on the couch.
"So, how does it feel," he asked, breaking the comfortable silence.
"How does what feel?"
"Living with me."
"Oh, well its wonderful. I've waiting for this for a long time," I said, looking up at him.
"Me too,' he said pressing his lips back against mine. "But we're going out tonight. I have a surprise," said Ezra, his eyes sparkling.
"Well, in that case, I think I'll go take a show," I said winking and we both ran off towards the stairs.
By the time 6 had rolled around, Ezra and I were showered, satisfied, and ready to go. We walked excitedly along the streets of the city. I couldn't help but notice that there was a slight change in Ezra's behavior; he went from happy to extremely giddy.
We ketp walking until we reached a subway entrance that would take us to Brooklyn.
"Ezra, whats in Brooklyn," I asked as he pulled me onto the underground train. As we rode, Ezra's protective side came into play. There was something extremely sexy about the way he kept an arm around my waist the entire time until we exited. Maybe it was just because I loved his touch.
When we got outside, Ezra's hailed a cab, and whispered the destination to our driver. I could tell we were close as we got close because Ezra's chattering increased as we neared. In the distance, I could see the bright lights of a ferris wheel, and was only able to think of one place remotely close to the city that had a ferris wheel.
"We're going to Coney Island," I asked excitedly. He nodded his head furiously as our cab pulled over and Ezra and I emerged onto the boardwalk.
The twinkling light of Coney Island's newly opened LunaPark glimmered. I felt like a kid in a candyshop, what will all its bright colors and looking at all the people rushing about. What I wouldn't have gived to be able to see this place back in it's hayday. Standing amoungst the bright lights gave a dreamlike feel to everything. Every ride had a polished glow, and every person had a joyous look on their face.
Ezra and I made a deal to go on every single ride; from carousels to rollercoasters. It was starting to near 10 when Ezra and I had finally wore everything out, and were now walking through the park with our arms around each other.
"Do you want to go down by the shoreline," asked Ezra, leaning down to kis sme.
"Sure," I said.
When our feet reached the sand, I took of my shoes so I could relish the feeling of sand between my toes. I signed deeply at the sensation, causing Ezra to give me a quizzical look and a laugh.
"I love you," he said passionately, while bringing his lips back down to meet mine in a tender kiss. My hands twined into his hair and he lifted me off the ground, carrying me bridal style towards the ocean.
"I love you too," I whispered looking into his eyes. I seemed to have gotten lost into the bright blue that matched the ocean surrounding us for a few moments. Het set me down onto the ground and I lowered myself to a lying position and Ezra did the same. I curled into his side as he wrapped his arms around my frame and pressed his lips to my hair. It was times like this where I felt utterly safe. His arms were my safe haven.
The sea air was comforting and despite the warm weather of earlier, there was a slight chill; maybe because we were down my the water. I shivered slightly, and Ezra pulled his arms around me tighter, trying to give me more warmth. The moonlight casted a soft glow and I looked at Ezra. His eyes were closed, as if he was contemplating something, yet there was a smile on his face. He was incredibly handsome, even with his eyes shut. I loved him so much, that the thought of us ever being apart brought fierce pangs in my chest.
We stayed like that for what seemed like hours until Ezra spoke.
"Aria," he said, sitting up. He stood, and reached his hand out to me. I eagerly took it, and he pulled me up to my feet.
"Ezra? What's wrong," I asked. He smiled and turned away, seeming to be fishing for something in his pocket. When he produced the item, I could make out that it was a small dark velvet box, and tears sprung into my eyes. It was finally happening.
"Aria, I lost you once out of my own idiocy. Looking back on it, leaving you was the worst mistake I have ever made," Ezra said, holding one my hands in his.
"I love you so much and I never plan on being without you again. Those 6 years were pure torture for the both of us. I want you to be the person who goes to sleep with me, and is then the first face I see in the morning when I wake up. I want to be the man who can cheer you up when you're sad, take care of you when your sick, and love you until we ever may part. I wast to continue watching your relationship with our daughter grow, and hopefully down the road, we can do all this parenting right with another little girl."
"I couldn't possible imagine my life going on without you by my side, so I guess what I'm trying to say is," he said opening the little box to reveal a grgeous diamond ring, "Aria Montgomery, make me the happiest man alive and marry me. I don't quite know what I'll do if you don't," he finished, kneeling down onto one knee.
By this time, there were tears rolling down my cheeks. I nodded my head, not even having to ponder about my answer.
"Yes," I said, fining my voice. "Yes, I'll marry you." Ezra slid the ring onto my finger, and carefully brushed away my tears. I crashed my lips onto his in a kiss that was so full of love that it was almost overwhelming. Ezra picked me up and spun me around, while I giggled against his lips.
"She said yes," he exclaimed loudly, which earned an applause from the small gathering of observers that we had accquired.
"We're getting married," I giggled while pressing my forehead to his.
"I love you, Mrs. Fitz," said Ezra, pulling into his arms.
There you have it, folks! The proposal you've all been waiting for! I seriously enjoyed writing this chapter, and I know you all were waiting for it, so I'm expecting quite a few reviews...not giving a number, but still :D It only takes a click, some typing and there you have it, all wrapped up in a shiny little box with a ribbon. And to those silent readers (I know you're out there), don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say!
Let me know if you think they should have an engagement party! Any suggestions are welcome!
love always,
.soprano.
