Chapter 3:

"Wes, we need to talk about last night. Call me." Aria left a message on his voicemail. He hadn't been returning her calls since the kiss, and she really needed to talk to him about it. She didn't think she could keep this secret from Ezra, and she wanted to at least give Wes a heads-up. If only he would return her damn calls!

Aria waited until 7:10 for him to call, but she had to leave for Ezra's if she wanted to be on time. So she got in her car and drove the 20 minutes to his apartment. As she stepped into the elevator, her phone started ringing. The caller I.D. said Wes.

"Hey Wes, I-" Aria started but Wes cut her off.

"Look, I just wanted to say that you should tell Ezra what happened. I don't want to come between you guys and I still don't know why I kissed you, but I did and I feel really bad. But it'll only make things worse if we keep this from him and he finds out. Do you want me to be there when you tell him?" Wes rushed out, barely pausing to breath.

Aria took a moment to let his words sink in. "It's okay, I'll tell him. Everything will be fine, and don't worry, I forgive you." she assured him before hanging up.

Aria walked to apartment 3B and stood there for a moment, mentally preparing herself for what would surely be a very long night.

*PLL*

Aria and Ezra were sitting on the couch, eating Chinese takeout. So far, the date had been nothing but awkward. Aria was sitting there waiting for Ezra to dump her, but Ezra didn't say a word about Delaware or Maggie or Malcolm. They made polite conversation which ended in silence. Finally, Aria couldn't take it anymore.

"Ezra?"

"Yeah?" Ezra asked, looking over at Aria.

"Can you please just get it over with?" Aria begged him.

"Get what over with?" Ezra asked, confused.

Aria stared at him. "Break up with me."

Ezra almost choked on his takeout. "WHAT?"

Aria just stared at him, at a loss of words.

"You thought I was going to break up with you?" Ezra asked, incredulously.

"Well...yeah. I kept such a big secret from you. Plus, you haven't returned any of my calls or texts since you left." Aria pointed out.

"Aria, my world was turned upside down. I was so confused and I didn't know what to do. I just needed to sort things out." Ezra explained. "Did you really think that I would break up with you? I love you!"

Aria's eyes filled with tears. "I love you too. I was just- I was so scared." she said.

"I know. But nothing's ever going to keep up apart. In fact, I was wondering if you would be willing to meet Malcolm. He's staying with me next weekend and I really want the two of you to get to know each other." Ezra looked nervous, as he waited for her response.

"I would love to!" Aria said excitedly, throwing her arms around him, and pressing her lips to his.

When she kissed Ezra, Aria was reminded of Wesley and immediately felt guilty. She broke away from Ezra, who looked at her, confused.

"What's wrong?" he asked, gently.

"There's something I need to tell you but I'm not sure how you'll take it." Aria said, biting her lip, nervously. She kind of wished Wes was here to help her.

"You can tell me anything, you know that." Ezra said, squeezing her hand, reassuringly.

Aria took a deep breath and blurted out "Wes kissed me."

Ezra stared at her, uncomprehendingly. Aria waited for the words to sink in. As she watched, his blank look turned to confusion, which turned to shock, followed by anger.

"HE WHAT?!" Ezra yelled.

Aria winced. She'd never heard Ezra yell like that, and it kind of scared her. "Wait, Ezra, listen-"

"Wes?! My own little brother! That little-" Ezra started, but Aria cut him off.

"Ezra, it was a mistake. I talked to him and he told me how sorry he was, that it was a mistake, and he didn't want to come between us. In fact, he insisted that I tell you. He doesn't want anything to come between us." Aria said, hastily.

This did little to calm Ezra. "That still doesn't make it right! He's my little brother and he knows that you're my girlfriend! Just because I'm out of town, doesn't mean you can kiss whoever you want!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I didn't kiss him, he kissed me! And I stopped him!" Aria defended herself.

"Yeah, and what about Jason?" Ezra countered.

"Jason was a long time ago, and again, he kissed me." Aria said, defensively.

"But you didn't stop him!" Ezra said, angrily.

"You know what, Ezra? If you think I'm just some kind of slut that goes around kissing every guy I see, then think again! I'm so done with this!" Aria said, angrily. Before Ezra could respond, she grabbed her jacket and purse and stormed out of his apartment, heading towards the elevator, tears spilling out of her eyes. She angrily pushed the elevator button repeatedly, willing the doors to open, when she felt a hand on her arm. She turned around, ready to scream some not-so-nice things at Ezra, when he pushed her against the wall and crushed his lips against hers. At first, Aria tried to push him away, but soon her anger was replaced by desire as she kissed him back forcefully, wrapping her arms around his neck. Ezra's hands went down to her waist and he pulled her closer to him.

After what seemed like eternity, but had really been a few minutes, they broke apart, breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped like that." Ezra said, quietly.

"No, it's okay. You had every right to be mad. You were going through all this stuff with your son, and you come back to find out that your brother kissed your girlfriend" Aria replied guiltily, unable to meet his eyes.

"Aria, it's not your fault that Wes kissed you. I shouldn't blame you for that, especially because you stopped him." Ezra put his hand on her chin, gently lifting it up so he could look into her eyes. "Forgive me?"

Aria responded by pulling his face down towards hers and kissing him again.
