Ezra slumped down on his chair as soon as the door shut carrying his last class of students out into the hallway. The friendly smile he wore while he was teaching vanished from his face and ran his fingers through his hair, letting out a loud sigh. He quickly rolled over towards his desk drawer and pulled it open, leafing through a pile of miscellaneous junk until he felt the cool, solid plastic of his phone. He quickly turned it on and checked to see if Aria had texted him, or a his phone now said, "Scarlett". He felt a little sliver of disappointment when his phone delivered no new messages. Ezra wondered briefly if it was bad how attached he had gotten to Aria. He realized just recently how not seeing her for an extended period of time really messed with his mood. He hated going home and spending the whole night by himself. He craved conversation, and humor, and a sound other than his own breathing to be the soundtrack of his nights. And that wasn't even going into his sexual cravings. Even though his apartment was incredibly small, it somehow felt empty without Aria. After he got off Skype with her last night he decided that he should clean the apartment that was always in a constant state of post-clothes bomb explosion. Oddly enough, the majority of the clothes were hers and not his. He had found so many of her jackets, socks, t-shirts, and underwear that he had cleared out a drawer for her. The enormity action didn't really register until now. She was really a big part of his life now. Although, from the day he saw her, she had established herself as a big part of his life, the only difference now is that his dresser was aware of that fact.

He heard the sound of the heavy door opening and turned quickly to see Aria walk into his classroom with a smirk on her face. She winked at Ezra and threw her back pack toward him. He quickly stood up and caught it mid air and set it behind his desk and looked at her confused. Aria, however, missed the confused expression on his face because she turned her back toward him to draw the blinds across the window of the door and quickly turn the lock them in. Ezra smiled slowly, catching on to why she was here.

She turned to face him and gave him a slow sensual smirk, "I can't stop thinking about you," she said through sensual lips, voice laced with seduction.

Ezra quickly licked his lips as his eyes zeroed in on Aria standing before him. She was wearing tight black skinny jeans that accentuated the delicious curves of her body and roundness of her ass. His eyes followed the cleavage of her breasts down to the lace of a tank top that was covered by a black leather jacket. He watched as her delicate hands moved up to the zipper of her jacket and slowly started shedding. Ezra stood there, paralyzed with wanting, watching as Aria undressed for him. He wanted to say something witty or clever, but the words never came.

"You know that black lacy thong that your so fond of?" Aria murmured quietly. She slowly over to Ezra with a lustful gaze in her eyes. She her arms around his neck and Ezra quickly place his hands tightly on her hips and drew her closer to him, their bodies flush against each other.

Aria was immediately intoxicated by the smell of Ezra's cologne. She loved the way that his hands squeezed her hips firmly and how his chest rested hard against her.

Ezra shook his head yes, that he did know of the specific garment hat she spoke of. He let out an affirmative sound, his eyes never leaving her lips. The way that Ezra looked at her just made her feel so sexy. She was close enough to feel his warm breath lightly fan over her face. The skin of his face was covered lined with coarse hair, indicating his lack of shaving that day. Aria trailed her lips, ever so lightly, over the stubble of his jaw until she reached his ear. Ezra and Aria had never actually discussed with each other their specific turn-ons, but Aria could tell by how his body would react, that Ezra liked when she would whisper things in his ear. She could tell already that he was getting turned on by the way his hands moved up to her waist.

"I'm wearing it now," She said before biting on his earlobe. She felt, more than heard, Ezra let out a strangled moan before attaching their lips together. Aria moved her hands to his back, bringing them closer together as his hands made their way to her thighs. In one swift motion, Aria was no longer standing on the floor and now felt the cool hardness of Ezra's desk beneath her legs. Ezra stood between her legs as she sat on the edge of his desk. Aria wrapped her legs loosely around Ezra's waist and let her arms drop down to her sides. Ezra had stopped kissing her and instead was looking down at her, biting his lip, as his eyes roamed her body. One of his hands rested on her waist while the other traced up her inner thigh.

"Ez-?" She started to question, but he quickly dipped down and reattached their lips with new passion. His hand moved from her thigh up to squeeze her breast. Aria loved the way his hands ravished her body. She moved her own down to his crotch and started rubbing his inner thigh, cursing the heavy fabric of his dress pants. Aria reached in her front packet and felt for the foil package. She had taken some condoms from Ezra's place and put a few in her purse for moments such as this. She moved her hand to Ezra's back pocket and slipped the condom inside, trying to subtly show him what she wanted. She gave his ass a playful squeeze before moving her hands to the front of his body to pull his shirt from his pants. She did admit that she found him, dressed up in his 'teacher clothes' very attractive, but she couldn't stand how many layers he had on.

Ezra moved a hand from her body to go inspect what she had slipped in his pocket. When he felt the outline of the ring within the small package, he didn't even have to look to know that Aria had just slipped a condom into his pocket. He quickly broke their kiss and stood up straight, distancing himself slightly from her.

"No," he said firmly, although his face looked pained to say it. Aria looked up at him a little startled, trying not to let the rejection hurt her personally, "we can do everything else," Ezra continued, still slightly panting, "but we're not doing that, not here."

Aria accepted the rule a little begrudgingly. She knew Ezra could get in serious trouble if anyone caught them, so it made since that he would want to limit the amount of people who could potentially walk in on them during sex, reserving the act for various pieces of furniture in his apartment.

"You can't be quick enough?" Aria said jokingly, trying to get rid of the serious vibe that had started to hover over them. Right now, she didn't want to talk, she wanted to do something quite the opposite.

"It's more of an issue of you not being quiet enough," he said with a devilish smile, before kissing her again. Aria grinned into the smile and pulled on the back of his hair tightly in response. He only laughed and deepened the kiss slipping his tongue inside her mouth. Aria had continued to rub him through his pants until she felt the definite outline of his cock. She lightly pushed against Ezra's chest to get him to move, but he only moved his lips down to her neck.

"Really though, can you be quick?" Aria asked him breathlessly, small moans escaping her lips as he sucked on the skin of her neck. He had told her he had to be in the auditorium at 3:00, only giving them twenty or so minutes. She didn't want to start something that she wouldn't be able to finish in time for him to leave. "I don't want to make you late."

"Y-yeah," he said distractedly, "just, umm," his hands moved to his own body and he quickly stripped off the vest he was wearing and fully untucked his shirt, while he undid the clasp to his pants and reached for the zipper.

Aria quickly swatted his hands away, "I know what to do from here," she said before leaning in to kiss him and quickly unzipped his fly.

Corrie's head snapped back toward the door when she heard a very flustered Ezra walk in. Corrie noticed how his dark hair had stuck up in weird places as if he had been running his hands through it, pulling at the ends frustratedly. The vest that she had seen him wearing earlier that day was no longer on his person. He sat down in the empty chair next to her. Today it was only her and Ezra conducting the auditions. Ella, who had taken the role of the producer, was cleaning her house for them to come over later tonight.

"H-hey," Ezra greeted her, slightly out of breath. His demeanor appeared to be much more pleasant and upbeat. Not that Ezra was a depressing person by any means, but the other times Corrie had interacted with him he had always seemed distracted. It sounded like the man had just gone on a run. She looked over at him and returned his friendly smile.

Now looking directly at his face, Corrie noticed the pink glossiness that was smeared on his lips. She observed how his tie hung crooked and loose around his neck and how he had missed a button when putting on his shirt.

Like the quick switch ofa light bulb, everything clicked in Corrie's mind. Ezra had totally just had sex. The disheveled hair, the breathlessness, the messed up clothes, hell he practically walked into the room with a spring in his step. Something must have showed on her face because Ezra's face scrunched up, confused.

"What?" He asked innocently. She noticed that his hand subconsciously moved to his hair. Feeling it in disarray, Ezra quickly ran his hand through his hair, flattening it down.

"Um, you just have, um, some lipgloss or something on your face," Corrie said quietly, embarrassed for even pointing it out.

Ezra's eyes widened slightly and he quickly began wiping his lips on the back of his palm, erasing away the gloss.

Ezra cleared his throat awkwardly, "just, um, some chap stick or something," he lied lamely.

The awkwardness of the silence that fell upon them was palpable.

Ezra felt his phone vibrate and quickly pulled it out, grateful for the distraction it provided. His smile widened. Aria had sent him a picture of her chest, clothed only in her bra and his gray vest. It hung loosely around her petite frame. She had it buttoned up covering the flat surface of her stomach, leaving only the swell of her breasts, cupped in a dark blue bra, visible. Her dark hair spilled over her shoulders on either side. It was quite a great picture. Sadly, she framed the picture so that only her chest was visible, cropping out her face. His phone vibrated again in his hand as Aria sent him another message to accompany the photo.

"I'm holding your vest hostage until my Beatles t-shirt is returned ;)"

Ezra's hand covered his mouth as he stifled a laugh. He couldn't help the smile that seemed permanently etched on his lips.

"Do you have the scenes that they'll be reading?" Corrie asked him as she rummaged through the stacks of paper on the table in front of them. Ezra placed his phone on the table as he looked at the papers in front of him. The only things that littered the table as of now were, Corrie's notepad, the kids' resumes, and the extra copies of the callback sheet.

"I dropped them off in your mailbox this morning," Ezra answered. Corrie seemed to have remembered and started hunting through her ginormous bag, searching for the scenes. Ezra in the meantime busied himself by rereading over the callback list that Corrie and him had created.

Thank you so much to everyone who tried out. Not getting a callback does not mean you didn't get into the show. This show requires a fairly large ensemble which still needs to be cast. Callbacks are after school today at 3:30 in the theatre.

Mark: Holden Strauss, Lucas Gottesman, David Collin, Mike Montgomery

Roger: Caleb Rivers , Noel Kahn

Mimi: Aria Montgomery, Mona Vanderwaal, Emily Fields

Maureen: Mona Vanderwaal, Hanna Marin

Joanne: Spencer Hastings, Paige McCullers

Benny: Toby Cavanaugh, Caleb Rivers

Collins: Nicodemus Smith, Caleb Rivers

Angel: Holden Strauss, Jahlil Evo

Ezra seemed pretty satisfied as to who they had called back. Originally, Corrie had wanted to call Mike back as Roger, but considering the characters of Mimi and Roger were in love, it would have been awkward if Aria had to read for Mimi while Mike read for Roger.

"Do you think you left them in your classroom? I honestly can't find them," Corrie questioned.

"Um, possibly. I can go look," Ezra said standing up, ready to go back to his classroom.

"Oh, I can do it," Corrie said nicely.

"My classroom's locked. Let me give you my keys" Ezra explained quickly. He bent over the chair started digging through his brief case which sat on the floor.

Corrie saw a small black strap of a lanyard poking out of Ezra's back pocket.

"Found them," She reached out and pulled the lanyard from his pocket. Only, the black strap wasn't a lanyard. Ezra turned around quickly when he felt Corrie pull something out of his pocket. He knew that whatever she had pulled out if his pocket were not his keys, considering his hand had just closed around them in the bottom of his bag. Ezra watched in horror as Corrie pulled out a small dark wad of lace fabric. In the rush to quickly redress himself, Ezra had missed Aria sneaking her underwear into his pocket. Ezra quickly snatched the thong from Corrie's hands and shoved it into his front pocket. Hoping she hadnt had time to realize what she had just found in his pocket. Corrie's face had gone super red and her eyes remained on Ezra's front pocket where he had just put Aria's thong. Ezra, without a word, walked up to the stage and started turning on the lights, while he left Corrie speechless at the table.

"The papers were on the table the whole time," he heard her call to him as he was walking up the isle towards her. Ezra reached the table and felt the need to explain himself to Corrie so she didn't assume he was some sex addict or a pedophile.

"I'm not some pervert. I didn't even know that that was there," he explained quietly.

"That was your girlfriends, right?"

"Right," Ezra answered tensely, who else would that belong to? "we, um- she called me up before school ended and we kinda met up and yeah,"

Corrie watched as Ezra explained himself, slightly embarrassed.

"I guess I should tell you that there's a condom about to fall out of your back pocket," Corrie answered with a small smile before putting the last of her papers in order while Ezra forcefully shoved the condom package deep down in his pocket.

Aria waited anxiously for her turn to go up and read from the script. She sat in the front row of the seats in the auditorium next to Emily. Spencer and Hanna had left already. they had done the scenes for Maureen and Joanne, they only needed the Mimi's and the Angel's to read. Ezra was sitting a few feet in front of her at folding table that was set up infront of the stage before the rows of seats started. When she had walked in Ezra had quickly given her an adorable smile, accompanied with a small wink. Now that the callback process had been going on for about an hour, Ezra had gotten straight to business talking with Corrie, and didn't have time to give her flirtatious smiles and knowing looks. Aria watched what was currently happening on stage. They were finishing the last of the Angel scenes. A few minutes ago, Ezra called up a group a guys to read the scene where Collins was introducing his new partner, Angel, to his roommates, Mark and Roger. They had Lucas read for Mark and Caleb read for Roger, both giving adequate performances. Nicodemus, or Nick as he preferred to be called, was a 6'1' hulking black guy, who's voice was deep and smooth like honey. Aria didn't have many classes with Nick, but he was always really nice and super funny. He was reading for Collins and was doing a pretty good job, however Holden reading for Angel is what really stole the show. He was absolutely hysterical as a wild cross dresser.

"Do you think he's gay?" Mona leaned over and whispered to Aria. He did play the part of a flamboyant cross dresser very well.

"I don't know," Aria whispered back. The boys had just finished their scene and were leaving the stage when Corrie stood up.

"Alright so that's the end of that scene. If you were called for the part if Collins, Benny or Angel, or Mark and have no other parts to read, you can head out." There was a rise of noise as a bunch of guys packed up their things and exited the theatre. While the remaining group waited for the boys to leave and the noise level to return to normal, Ezra shot Aria a text.

Nervous?

I'm shaking. I'm worried that I won't be able I even read the script my hands will be shaking so badly.

She saw Ezra check his phone when she sent the message and smile softy. His long fingers quickly typed back a reply. When he hit send he looked back up her and they met eye contact. He smiled consolingly and mouthed the words 'love you'. Aria felt some of the nerves shake away with Ezra's concern. She looked down at her phone to inspect the message he sent her.

You're going to be fantastic. I love you.

Aria was about to reply when Corrie's voice echoed through the theatre

"Okay guys, so were going to call you guys up for the Mimi and Roger scene, you can leave as soon as your done. It's really short, so we should be out of here in ten minutes," Corrie sat back down. Aria couldn't help but notice when she sat down how her thigh pressed up against Ezra's. A satisfied smirk spread on her face when she saw Ezra clear his throat and move his leg away from hers.

"Aria as Mimi and Noel as Roger," Ezra called from his seat. Aria's heart began to beat frantically as she walked up to the table to grab her script. When Ezra handed it to her their eyes met and his hand covered hers for only a moment. It had a calming effect on Aria and she continued to walk towards the stage. She heard Noel's heavy footsteps echo behind her. When they reached the stage they both stood downstage center, as to be in the light. Noel looked over at Aria and winked with a smirk on his face.

"Don't mess up," she heard him whisper to her. Aria ignored him and looked down at Corrie and Ezra. Ezra gave her a reassuring smile and Corrie gave them a nod telling them to begin.

"Where were you?" Noel asked angrily reading from the script, he was a lot better than she expected.

"I'm-I'm sorry I'm late-" Aria stumbled out as Mimi, now onstage she wasn't as nervous and was actually quite enjoying herself.

"I know. You lost your keys. No, you went for a walk, you had to help your mother. And how's Benny? I'm going to work upstairs tonight,"

"Wait! I should tell you, I should… Never mind…"

The scene continued a few lines more before the lines on the script ran out. When Aria finally got out of character and took a look at the audience, she was happy to see Ezra beaming up at her and Emily, with a huge smile on her face giving her two thumbs up.

"That was great," Corrie said. She hadn't said that to any other scenes that day, Aria didn't want to look to deep into it but she was hoping that Corrie thought it was good, "You guys are free to go, cast list will be posted tomorrow."

Aria quickly left the stage and returned the script to the table. Ezra looked up at her when she approached and gave her his school boy smile.

"See you tonight, Ms. Montgomery?" his smile widened. Unlike a few weeks ago when Ezra showed up to her house unannounced, Aria had some warning this time that her boyfriend was going to come over for dinner. Aria was still trying to find a way to sneak out and spend the night at Ezra's, but so far she had come up with nothing. Maybe, Ezra could somehow sneak up to her room during the get together, and they could finally have the alone time they so desperately desired.

"Absolutely," Aria replied quietly, matching his smile. Ezra gave her a quick wink before she walked away from the table. She picked up her purse by her chair and said goodbye to Emily, before walking back to the parking lot where Mike was waiting to take her home.
