I need to thank my assistant in writing this chapter, Dani aka LUCiANLOVERxox for helping me through my writers block. Also, I'm not exactly sure what season it is supposed to be in the show right now since Rosewood time is to confusing, so I just said it was fall. I hope you like it! R&R :)

Ella's POV

I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. I checked the time, it was almost 10. I had five missed calls from Aria. Worried, I answered quickly.

"Aria?"

"Hi mom"

"Honey, are you ok? Where are you! You said you were just going to be at Hanna's for a few hours!"

"Mom, I'm fine. But I'm not at Hanna's, I'm with Ezra."

"With Ezra where?"

"Um… in Miami?"

"Miami?" I nearly screamed. "What the hell are you doing in Miami?"

"Well, Ezra asked me if I wanted to go for the weekend and I agreed."

"And he didn't think it would be a good idea to ask your mother first?"

"I'm the one who decided not to tell you, ok. Don't get mad at him."

"And why didn't you think you should tell me?"

"Because I knew you would say no and I just wanted some time alone with him."

"You're right, I would have said no. If you want time alone with him, you go over to his apartment! You don't just run off to Miami!"

"Mom, I'm sorry, but I just needed to do this, ok?"

"No, it's no ok. I'm glad that you are ok though, I was worried about you when you didn't come home."

"I know, I'm sorry."

"We'll talk about this when you get home. Which better be on Sunday."

"It is. I love you mom, bye."

"I love you to Aria"

Aria's POV

Well, that went better than I thought it would. I thought as I hung up the phone with my mother. I was expecting little bit more screaming than that.

"How'd she take it?" Ezra asked

"She seemed fine. She's not too pleased, but that was to be expected."

"Well I'm glad it went ok. The hardest part is over" he said squeezing my hand in his.

We grabbed our bags, got the rental car, and started for the hotel. We stopped to get some food on the way since we had barely eaten anything since lunch time. When we finally got to our hotel suite, we walked around until we finally found the bedroom. We threw our luggage on the floor and smiled at each other. He knew exactly what I was thinking before I even had to say it. I have been bugging him about our first time for what seems like forever. I pulled his lips down to meet mine.

"Are you sure?" he asked me

"Yeah"

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him gently. He deepened the kiss, placing his hands around my waist and lifting me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist, closing all of the space between us. He slowly carried me over to the bed and laid me down gently.

"Are you positive?"

"Yes Ezra, I've never been more sure of anything in my life."

Ezra's POV

When I woke up, I felt Aria's arms around me and her head on my chest. She was still asleep, so I just laid there playing with a piece of her hair. I figured I would let her sleep because we were just going to spend the day on the beach and enjoy the nice weather. It was starting to get into the chilly fall weather back in Rosewood, but it was still warm here in Miami of course. She slept for almost another hour until she finally woke up.

"Good morning beautiful"

"Good morning" she said leaning up to kiss me. She sighed and laid her head back down.

"What's wrong?" I asked

"I just love you, that's all."

"I love you too" I laughed kissing the top of her head.

"Last night was amazing"

"Yeah, it really was." I said smiling down at her.

"So what are we doing today?" she asked suddenly.

"Just going down the the beach if that's ok with you."

"Yeah, that sounds great!" she said. "I haven't been to the beach in a long time."

"Good" I said, pulling away from her. We both got up and started to get dressed.

Aria's POV

It was about 11:00 am, so we had to get to the beach before it got too crowded. When we got there, we found a nice spot with two open chairs right near the water and put our stuff down. He grabbed my hand and started pulling me towards the water.

"Oh, there's no way" I said. "It's going to be freezing in there!"

"I didn't come to the beach to sit in the sand all day, come on! Please?" he begged.

"Oh fine, but if it's cold I'm coming back up here to watch you." I said letting him drag me off towards the waves. As soon as my toes hit the water, I started to turn away. It was freezing, just like I thought it would be. Ezra pulled me to him again and picked me up, cradling me in his arms.

"Please come in with me?" he asked again. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You know I can't say no to you, right?" I giggled. He turned to walk deeper into the water. He was still holding me so my body wasn't touching the water yet. I held on to him tighter and squeezed my eyes shut as we got deeper and deeper and the cold water started to touch me. When almost my whole body was covered, I gave up and got out of his cradle. Shivering, I wrapped my legs around his waist holding him close to me.

"This is nice" he said smiling down at me

"Yeah, I guess. Besides for the cold part."

"Oh stop whining" he said in a playful voice. I dropped my hand and splashed water into his face.

"Hey!" he yelled splashing me back. I turned away and screamed, then splashed him back even harder. He laughed, pulling me back into him. I fought to get away from him, afraid he would splash me again, but instead he pulled me into a passionate kiss. I kissed him back, suddenly forgetting about everything else going on around us. There were kids splashing, and playing, and screaming, but none of that mattered. The only thing that mattered was that I was here, with Ezra, in public, without a care in the world. It felt good to not need to be cautious about who was watching. We didnt need to worry about anything. We were together, and we were happy.
