Chapter 13:

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Shut up!" Aria said, sleepily, trying to turn off the alarm clock without looking up. She felt Ezra shift beside her as he reached over and felt for the alarm clock, turning it off.

"You know." he mumbled sleepily, lifting his head to look at Aria. "Saying shut up every morning isn't going to magically work one day." he said, chuckling.

Aria lifted her arm and punched Ezra.

"Ow! What was that for." Ezra said, rubbing his arm.

Aria's response was quiet snoring. She was asleep again.

"Oh no, you don't." Ezra said, sitting up and pulling Aria into his lap.

"Stop, Ezra! Let me sleep!" she said, annoyed.

"You have school." Ezra pointed out.

"Please? Five more minutes?" Aria pleaded, giving Ezra puppy eyes.

Ezra stared down at her for a moment. "Nope." he said, laughing.

Aria decided to change her tactics. She reached her hand up and pulled Ezra back into bed. She moved her face so that it was inches away from her own. "Just five minutes?"

Ezra was breathing deeply, trying to will himself not to give in. "Aria..."

Aria moved even closer, pulling her body against him. "Please?" she whispered.

"We're going to be late." Ezra said, trying hard to resist but he could feel his will power slowly giving out.

Aria wrapped her legs around his torso, and kissed his shoulder, slowly making her way up to his face. "Please?" she whispered.

Ezra couldn't take it anymore. He attacked her lips with his, pushing his body on top of hers. They kissed passionately for a few minutes until they had to come up for air.

"You're. The. Biggest. Tease. In. The. World." Ezra said, gasping for air before Aria pulled him back down and their lips reconnected once more. A few moments later, Ezra looked up at the clock.

"Oh crap!" he said, jumping out of bed. "We're late!" He rushed into the bathroom, took the quickest shower possible and ran to get his things. Aria had his breakfast on the table and zoomed into the bathroom as soon as he came out. They were out of the apartment in 20 minutes, each getting into their car and racing to Rosewood High. They made it just before the bell rang.

Aria sat in History class, texting Ezra.

"At the speed we got ready in this morning, we have to have broken some world record. I think we deserve an award. :P" xox A.M.

Ezra texted back after a few moments.

"You already got your award this morning, remember? ;)" -xo E.F.

Aria laughed to herself.

"Miss Montgomery, is something funny?" Mrs. Welch asked, glaring at Aria.

"Um, no, sorry." Aria said, trying to look serious.

"If I see that phone again, I'm taking it away." Mrs. Welch warned.

"Yes ma'am. Sorry." Aria said, biting back her smile until Mrs. Welch turned around. As soon as she was facing the chalkboard, Aria turned back to her cell phone, being more careful to keep her expression neutral.

You just got me in trouble, Mister! Wait till school's over...:P" -xo A.M.

Aria looked back up just as Mrs. Welch was turning around and pretended to be deeply interested in whatever she was talking about, while her mind was really on her phone which had just vibrated again. She waited until Mrs. Welch was writing on the board again before opening it up.

"Why are you texting in class, Miss Montgomery? Don't you know better? ;)" - xox E.F.

Aria silently held back her laughter as Mrs. Welch turned back around. This class was going to be a long one.

*PLL*

"Hey babe." Aria said, shutting the door of Ezra's apartment. When she turned around, she was startled and somewhat embarrassed to see Maggie sitting on the couch and Ezra nowhere in sight. "Um, oops."

"Hi." Maggie said, smiling nervously.

"Where's Ezra?" Aria asked. She was still angry about Maggie kissing Ezra but she tried to stay calm.

"He's picking up Malcolm from school, he should be back any minute." Maggie replied, looking at her watch.

"Oh."

The two women sat in an uncomfortable silence, not really sure what to do. Aria could hear Maggie fidgeting with her bracelet as she texted Ezra, asking him how long he was going to be. His response came a moment later, saying he was just walking down the hall. Aria sighed in relief as she heard the apartment door open.

"Hey." Ezra said, walking over to the couch and sitting next to Aria. Malcolm followed right behind, going to sit in his mother's lap.

Maggie stood up. "Malcolm, we have to get going, we're going to Gramma's for dinner." She turned to Ezra. "Thank for picking him up."

"No problem." Ezra replied.

"Mom, can we go to Gramma's later? I want to play with Aria." Malcolm said, smiling at Aria, who smiled back at him.

"Honey, we have to get going, you can play with Aria some other time, okay?" Maggie said, grabbing her purse.

Malcolm ran to Aria. "Can you take me to the park tomorrow? Please?" he asked, giving her puppy eyes.

Aria laughed. "Sure. If it's okay, I can pick him up from school tomorrow?" she offered, looking up at Maggie.

Maggie thought for a moment, mentally going through her schedule. "Sure." she said finally.

Aria turned back to Malcolm. "So I guess I'll see you tomorrow, buddy." she said, ruffling his hair.

"Awesome!" Malcolm said, enthusiastically. "Bye dad! Bye Aria!" he said, giving them each a hug. Aria bent down and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Gross!" Malcolm screamed, wiping his cheek with the back of his hand. "Girls have cooties!" he said, running out the door. Maggie waved as she left behind him.

When they were gone, Aria turned to Ezra. "He gets his charm from you." she teased, leaning up to give him a kiss.

Ezra pulled away. "Aria, didn't you hear Malcolm? You have cooties!" he said, chuckling.

Aria raised her eyebrows. "Is that so? Well then, I guess I'll just head home. Wouldn't want to infect you or anything..." she said, grabbing her purse and jacket.

Ezra walked towards her, taking her stuff from her hands and pulling her into his arms. "It's okay, I got my cootie shot." he said, laughing as he pulled her towards him.

"Good, because your going to need it." Aria replied, as she leaned forward and pressed her lips against him.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. I remember when I was in elementary school and every girl had cooties haha. Don't forget to review :)
