I hope you're all liking the story so far. Enjoy the chapter! Don't forget to review! :)
Chapter 2:
"So have you heard anything from Ezra?" Wes asked. It had been two days since he'd found her in Ezra's apartment.
"Yeah, he called me this morning. He's coming back in three days and we're having dinner." Aria replied.
"You don't look too excited." Wes observed.
"No, I am. I'm just worried. What if he breaks up with me when we have dinner?" Aria said, biting her lip as she tried not to cry.
"He won't, trust me." Wes said.
"How do you know?"
"Because he loves you."
Aria looked at him for a moment. "How do you do that?"
"Do what?" Wes asked, confused.
"You and Ezra both. You know exactly what to say to make me feel better." Aria said, smiling.
"I guess it runs in the family...just like our awful cooking." The two of them laughed, remembering how Wesley had burnt his lasagne a few nights ago.
When they had finished laughing, they were quiet for a moment, and then Wesley leaned over and kissed Aria.
"Wes, we can't." Aria pulled away immediately, shocked.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what-" Wes started.
"Wes, I love your brother." Aria stated slowly.
"I know, I know. I didn't mean to do that. I don't know what just happened. Can we please just forget about it?" Wes asked.
Aria hesitated for a moment. "Sure, I guess." She didn't want to keep any more secrets from Ezra, especially since he had just found out she had been keeping the fact that he had a son from him. But Wes had been there for her these past few days, and she felt that she owed it to him.
"I, um, I gotta go." Wes said, storming away.
Aria stared after him, confused. How had that just happened? How had she not realized that he liked her? And, most importantly, why did she wish she'd let him kiss her?
Seems like things are always complicated for Ezria. Next chapter, we're going to see Ezra. :)
P.S. Yes I know this chapter is tiny, and the next one is definitely going to be a lot longer. :)
