"You realize half of the English department wants to have sex with you, right?" Aria asked from her lying position on Ezra's bed. The dinner at Aria's house had was a conflate of awkwardness and hilarity watching all the ladies of the English department try to flirt their way into Ezra's pants. Aria had told her mother that she needed to go to her dad's house to retrieve some textbooks that she left there as an excuse to sneak away and spend a few sacred hours with Ezra in his apartment. Ezra was currently in the kitchen making popcorn for their movie night.
"You realize that the women in the English department are twice my age, right?" Ezra countered as he rounded the corner from the small kitchen over to his bed. In his hands was a large bowl of popcorn. Aria quickly scooted over to the side of the bed and propped herself against the headboard.
"And here I thought you said 'age is just a number'," Aria replied with a teasing smile. Ezra rolled his eyes and moved to sit down on the edge of his bed.
"It is only a number. Its not really their age that makes me not want to have sex with them, it's the fact that I'm not remotely attracted to them at all,"
"Okay," Aria replied with a laugh. Aria's eyes traveled down from his face to the bowl of popcorn resting on his lap. Ezra noticed the direction of her glance and chuckled.
Aria eagerly opened her arms toward Ezra to accept the popcorn. Ezra smiled and chuckled at the expression on her face as he handed it over, rolling hi eyes as he did so. The popcorn exchanged hands and the two leaned in for a quick kiss. When Ezra made a move to pull away Aria moved one of her hands behind his head to keep his lips pressed against hers. Ezra scooted farther into his bed closer to where Aria was lying and moved one of his hands to rest on her waist as the two deepened the kiss. Aria moaned quietly against his lips and went to slide her tongue into his mouth, but he pulled away and slid off the bed and headed back towards the kitchen. Aria looked up at him confused.
"Where are you going?" She asked with a pout.
"Getting something to drink before the movie starts," he called from the fridge.
"You make it sound like we're actually going to watch the movie," Aria said teasingly. Aria and Ezra had an unspoken ritual that movie nights spent cuddled up in Ezra's bed always ended up with the two of them scantly clothed, limbs entangled, and increased heart rates as the movie would fade to background noise. It wasn't always like this, but after seeing 'To Kill A Mockingbird' forty-five times, one needs to find other activities to entertain themselves with.
"Do you want something to drink?" Ezra asked her, his head still in the fridge.
"I'll just have some of yours," Aria replied. Ezra quickly returned to the bed and pressed the play button on the tv. As the soundtrack began and the beginning credits rolled, he pulled the covers over top of him and slid next to Aria. She automatically repositioned herself so she was lying against his back, Ezra wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer to him and handed her a beer that he got from the fridge.
"What's this?" She asked examining the can.
"Beer. You're spending the night, right?" Ezra questioned. Aria and Ezra didn't drink together often and when they did it was usually wine with dinner. Surprisingly, Aria had quite a high tolerance for alcohol considering she used to drink it like water when she was in Iceland. The legal drinking age there was twenty, but with the more relaxed Icelandic police force, and a decent fake idea, a minor could easily get alcohol. Ezra always made sure that Aria was spending the night, or at least a few hours, with him to make sure she didn't drink and drive.
"Is this Natty Light?" Aria asked wrinkling up her nose in distaste.
"Yeah, what's wrong with Natty Light?" Ezra asked defensively.
"Have you ever had Natty Light?"
"Umm, I don't know," Ezra said honestly. He probably had sometime in his life during his college years but he had never bought it for himself. Aria looked up at his face and met his gaze. He looked down at her confused.
"Try it," Aria dared. He met her gaze and threw her a devilish grin. He leaned down and stole a kiss from her lips. Aria grinned up at him.
"You better savor that kiss because if you start drinking that," she said indicating the can of beer he had in his own hand, "all night, you're not getting another kiss from me."
Ezra winked at her at sat up straighter. He popped open the top of the can and tilted his head back to chug the beer. He drained the whole can before stopping to cough and sputter.
"Ugh, that's nasty," Ezra said quietly. He crushed the beer can in his hand and threw it off the bed, "tastes like the can was only half full so someone filled the other half with water."
Aria laughed at the grossed our expression in his face and smiled smugly, "Told you it was gross! Why did you even buy this, this is beer for dieting white women and broke college kids,"
Ezra laughed and nudged her with his shoulder, "because it was cheap and I'm poor," he got out before burping loudly.
"Sorry," he apologized quietly.
"Ugh, you're so gross," she said with a laugh, "go brush your teeth, your breath smells like gasoline infused water," she said pushing him off the bed towards the direction of the bathroom, he laughed and made his way there. Aria got up off the bed and returned the beer he got her to the fridge. When she opened the fridge door she saw a six pack of Natty Light, a lime, a bottle 3/4 full of Gatorade, and the leftovers from the other day.
"Hey babe, I'm starting to become concerned about the lack of food in your fridge," Aria called from the kitchen. Ezra stuck his head out of the bathroom, toothbrush still in mouth, and gave her a confused look. "How long has this lime been in here?" She asked him holding up the green fruit.
Ezra removed the tooth brush from his mouth and replied with a garbled, "Don't touch my lime, Aria." She rolled her eyes and put it back in the fridge along with her unopened beer. She moved over to Ezra's dresser and pulled out a T-shirt and a pair if his sweat pants. She reached for the hem of her shirt and went to pull it off when Ezra's warm hands fell on top of hers from behind and prevented her from lifting it any further.
"I want to do that," he said in a low voice. Aria heard Ezra take a step forward and then she felt her back rest against the toned muscles of his chest sheathed behind his undershirt. Aria's senses were in Ezra overload as she felt him strip away her shirt leaving her exposed in only a bra and jeans. Ezra discarded her shirt somewhere behind them as his hand slid up her sides to rest on her back where her bra was clasped. His breath was hot against her shoulder and she could smell the minty freshness on his breath as he breathed deeply. He bit down slowly on her shoulder as he undid her bra and Aria whimpered at the pleasing sensation. He slowly pushed the bra off her arms and let it falls to the floor. Her shoulder still in his mouth he moved his hand up to cup her heavy breasts and squeezed them both firmly and Aria let out a delicious moan the caused Ezra's member to twitch and harden in the confines of his boxers. Aria felt his growing stiffness against her ass and started rotating her hips against him to create more friction. Ezra released her shoulder and sucked in a deep breath. Aria moved one of her hand back to grasp his hardening erection.
"Not yet," Ezra reprimanded, Aria moved her hand back to her side, she could feel herself getting wet at Ezra's dominance. "I've had enough your teasing today," he whispered hotly in her ear. His hands remained messaging her breasts while he planted wet kisses up her neck. Ezra dropped her breasts. He moved one of his hands to lightly pinch and pull her nipple while the other one moved up to her mouth. He trailed one of his fingers over her lips and they eagerly parted granting his fingers access. He slipped the tips of two fingers in her mouth and watched as she sucked on them covered them in her saliva. Ezra removed his wet fingers from her mouth and trailed them lightly down her body and over her breasts until he reached the top of her jeans.
"You okay with this?" He asked quietly, breaking from the dominant role for a moment.
"Fuck, Ezra, Yes!" She consented in a hurry, eager for his touching to continue. With her plea of consent Ezra quickly spun Aria around to face him and attached their lips together. He quickly picked them up and carried them to their bed for their activities to continue.
Monday school day passed just as boring and routine as any other day that Aria faced. Aria hadn't seen Ezra since this morning when they woke up, a tangled mess, in his bed and had parted their separate ways. It was now 1:10 and nearing the end of 5th period, the second to last period of the day, the last period before Aria would get to see Ezra. Currently Aria was struggling to stay awake in the back of Mr. Edward's Calculus class.
Aria began to nod off when she felt Emily shake her from her sleep. Aria rubbed her eyes and groaned and looked over at Emily thankfully.
"Someone's tired," Emily observed with a smile.
"Mmyeah," Aria agreed. She checked the clock, once again, to see how's my more agonizing minute he would have to endure. The answer was eighteen, "Ezra and I stayed up late last night."
Emily gave her a sultry grin, "oh la la, so you and Mr. Fitz got busy last night?"
Aria would have rolled her eyes if she wasn't already pre occupied with trying to keep them open, "yeah we did but that's not why I'm so tired."
Emily's face scrunched up, confused. Noticing her confusion, Aria continued, "we just stayed up until like 3 in the morning talking."
"Ugh, I wish I could have sleepovers with Paige, you're so lucky that Ezra has his own place."
A vibration from her phone caused Aria to turn away from Emily. It was a new message from Ezra. Aria quickly opened the message.
Tell Edwards that you need to leave now to talk to me.
Aria felt herself smile as she read the message. She checked the time and noticed there was only 15 minutes left of class and wondered what Ezra could possibly want. Many times before Aria had texted him to meet up and make out when she knew that he had a free period or lunch time, but very rarely would he do the same.
"Hey Em, I'll see you in English, okay?" Aria said as she started to pack up her stuff. Emily gave her a weird look.
"Where are you heading off to?"
"Ezra texted me," she said before standing up and heading towards the door.
"Ms. Montgomery," Mr. Edwards called from the front, he straightened his think framed glasses as he glared at her from the front of the class, "Class isn't over for another 15 minutes, please remain seated until the bell rings."
"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Edwards, but I forgot to tell you that Mr. Fitz needed me to go over to his class to talk about an assignment," she lied.
"Well, do you have a pass?" He inquired with great sass.
"Um, no, but you can call him or email him," Aria said timidly. Mr. Edwards rolled his eyes and sighed.
"You can go Ms. Montgomery, just be sure to have a pass next time."
"Yes, sir," Aria said quickly before exiting the classroom and making her way toward Ezra's class. When she got there she peeked her head in and saw that Ezra was sitting at his desk at the front of the class with his feet propped up. His sharp blue eyes were glued to the students in front of him, the strong muscles of his arms were tensed and his usual boyish grin was replaced with his lips forming a firm line. Aria had seen this expression many times when she had done something to piss Ezra off. This expression was what would usually cause a fight, or a pile of discarded clothes. Aria timidly knocked on his door, worried as to why Ezra would be upset, hopefully not directed toward her. He looked up and his eyes fell on her figure through the door, he smiled slightly before turning back and addressing the class, "I have to go run on an errand, I expect you all to behave and finish your quiz in silence," she could hear Ezra command, muffled through the door. Ezra turned and walked out of the room to meet Aria in the hallway. Aria noticed the dark circles under his eyes and the way his hair was sticking up as if he had angrily run his fingers through it.
"Hey," Aria started softly, "you okay?" Aria met the pained gaze in his eyes and yearned to be able to reach over and stroke the stubble on his cheek. She could see that he wanted the same thing.
"Follow me to the copy room?" He asked quietly. Aria nodded her head in agreement and followed behind him as he made his way to the copy room in the teachers lounge down the hall. The lounge was empty and the lights were off, Ezra sighed and sat down at one of the tables in the middle if the room and rested his head. Aria had been in the teachers lounge before, usually accompanying her mother and it was never this deserted. Aria wondered why he had brought her here. If it was for some sex thing they only had 10 minutes and Ezra still had a classroom full of students. Guessing from his position on the table, and their current location, Aria was pretty sure that he didn't call her up for a quick sexual act in the dark.
"What's wrong, babe?" Aria asked quietly. She came up behind him and started running her fingers threw his hair massaging his scalp. She heard him let out a relaxed sigh.
"Just a really shitty day. Do you still have Advil with you? I have a massive headache," Ezra grumbled through his arms. His voice sounded tired and pained. Aria quickly dug through her purse and pulled out the bottle of Advil she carried with her and handed it to her boyfriend. He glanced up at her with a grateful smile.
"Do you have water?" She asked as he fumbled with the pill bottle.
"No, but there's bottles in the fridge."
Aria headed over to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water that was lined up against the back.
"There should be an iced coffee in a bag in there with Fitz written on it if you could get that too," Ezra called.
Aria diligently followed his instructions and handed him his things from the fridge. She enjoyed caring for Ezra and the domestic side of their relationship, even though they were 'playing house' in the deserted teachers lounge in the middle of 5th period.
Aria pulled the coffee out of the brown bag and starred at it longingly, she was still about to pass out any moment and being in a warm, dark, silent room wasn't helping much.
"I'm having a sip of your coffee," Aria said before picking up the beverage.
"Oh I already finished mine. I got that one for you. I thought you might be tired," Ezra explained. Aria smiled at him and gratefully rubbed his back while taking a big sip of coffee.
"You're so amazing," Ezra smiled happily, glad he could make her smile, "I could barely keep my eyes open, so I ran out during my planning period and got a coffee. I thought you might need a pick me up too."
Aria hummed in agreement.
"Hey, will you make me some copies?" Ezra asked quietly. Aria nodded and picked up the pile of papers that he had brought with him.
"How many?" She asked scratching his scalp, Ezra leaned his head towards her hand as she massaged away the tension and wished, more than anything, they could be back in his apartment.
"Make like forty of the pink piece of paper and then ten of the essays," Aria walked off into the copy room and Ezra's watched the sway of her hips as she did so. His mind automatically flashed back to what her hips looked like when they were naked and riding him the night before. He literally couldn't believe how lucky he had gotten. The sound of the heavy door of the teachers lounge swinging open interrupted Ezra from his provocative thoughts. He turned around and saw Vice Principal Hackett at the door. He decided to remain seated thinking that bolting up would seem too suspicious.
"Oh, Ezra, it's you. Ms. Harrington thought she saw a male and female student sneak off into the teachers lounge and advised me to investigate," Hackett's eyes surveyed the dark room making sure there wasn't anything he was missing. Ezra stood up from the table as a gesture of respect, and as a way to buy time to find the right words to say. He prayed that Aria could hear the conversation over the noise of the copier and wouldn't pick this moment to profess her love for him or call him by his first name.
"I just sent Ms. Montgomery to go make copies, but she couldn't get the copier to work so I came back with her to take a look,"
Mr. Hackett searched the room one more time with his hawk like gaze, buy seemed satisfied with Ezra's explanation and left. When the door clicked shut Aria returned to the lounge to find Ezra collecting his things off the table.
"The one time we aren't actually doing anything illegal, we get caught," Aria said quietly to Ezra as they walked back to his class room. Ezra raised a curious eyebrow at her.
"Um, I think that's better than being caught doing something illegal. Don't you agree?"
Laughing she replied, "Yes, I suppose you're right."
Ezra gave up on teaching Aria's 6th period English class and instead decided to put on the film version of "To Kill A Mockingbird". Aria suspected that it was mainly so he could sit in the dark and not have to teach but she really didn't mind. About twenty minutes before the end of class the intercom system came on throughout the school and Ezra quickly paused the movie to be able to hear the announcements.
"Teachers and students please excuse this interruption, At this time it is advised that all teachers hand out the pink flyer to those sixth period class. All teachers hand out the flyer to the sixth period class, thank you."
The announcements shut off and the class looked expectingly up at Ezra. Turning on the lights and grabbing a stack of pink papers from his desk he began to hand out the flyers while talking.
"Alright guys I hope you enjoyed the beginning of the movie. That's one of me and my girlfriend's favorites," Aria felt herself blush slightly as she tried to hide her smile at the way he would casually mention her, "so what I'm handing out now is bunch of information on the spring musical, now I know it's only March, but rehearsals start in a week, so the auditions will be Thursday and callbacks on Friday," a murmur of excitement ran through the class, the musicals were just as popular as the sports at Rosewood High, so everyone would usually come out and audition, "this year, the drama department has teamed up with the English department and I think even some members of the Social Studies department for this show. We pulled some strings and the show were doing this year is RENT," the noise level rose in the classroom as everyone turned to their friends to discuss the shocking discovery. Aria looked up at Ezra in shock, similar to the the way she locked at him a few days earlier when he told her that he was taking her to see RENT, an just like that day her gaze was met with the cheeky smile and a wink from the charming Ezra Fitz.
"This show deals with adult themes like drug use, death, AIDs, and discrimination. And If you don't know the plot, you can look it up on Wikipedia," a few students laughed at his jokes which produced the devilish boyish smile to flash across his face. Aria couldn't help but notice it was the same smile he had given her a few nights before after bringing her to a indescribable orgasm from going down on her "In order to audition," Ezra's voice cut through her line of thoughts and brought her back to the present, "you need to bring back that pink piece of paper signed by your parent giving you permission."
The level of noise in the room grew as Ezra took his seat. Aria pulled out her phone and quickly sent Ezra a text, but to her surprise, Ezra had already sent her a message less than thirty seconds ago.
I'm doing this for you, babe. I love you.
