WE DO NOT OWN ANYTHING

All That I'm Asking For- Lifehouse

I can't believe I did this. Three hours before, I walked out of my room, leaving Ezra there. I yelled at him because he didn't tell me that Jackie worked at Hollis. I've always wanted him in my room, and when I finally got that, I walked out of it. Why did I do this? Now I'd never get him back. I've lost him.

I couldn't let this happen! I was running through Rosewood, because I wasn't going to lose the love of my life. I didn't care if he wanted Jackie, he was getting me whether he liked it or not. He's all and everything I've ever asked for, and I cannot throw this all away.

I ran up the steps that I had come to know so well. I walked down the hall just like I had countless times before. I knocked on the door of the one person that could save me from myself. I was drenched from the torrential down pour going on outside and shivering from the cold, but I didn't care. All that I cared about was him and making sure I didn't lose him.

He opened the door in only a pair of flannel pants and breathed a sigh of relief. I could tell that he was happy to see me and that made me feel relieved too. Despite my current state he pulled me in for a tight hug and kissed the top of my head.

"I thought I'd lost you..." he whispered to me.

"I'm so sorry..."

He pulled me deeper into the apartment and walked over to turn up his heat. I was still shivering, frozen to the bone. Ezra went to grab me a pair of his boxers and an oversized sweatshirt from Hollis. He handed me the clothing I loved wearing. I slid off my wet jeans and pulled up his boxers and I took off my soaking wet shirt and switched it with his huge grey sweatshirt. I went to sit on the couch as tears freely fell from my eyes and Ezra went to get us coffee, out routine drink so that we could spend the entire night together without falling asleep.

He came back and set the coffees on the table and wrapped his arms around my trembling body. I kept saying, "I'm so sorry" over and over again. He shushed me and held me closer.

"Its okay, Aria." He held me on his lap and gave me a kiss on the forehead.

I looked into his beautiful blue eyes and said, "All that I'm asking for is that you need nothing more and nothing comes in between our love. It's fragile. You're all that I'm asking for..."

"I know, babe. I know." he kissed me tenderly and held me close. We fell asleep like that.

In the morning I woke up and found Ezra cradling my petite figure to his body. I snuggled closer and wrapped my arms around his neck. I wanted to wake up like this everyday, with the love of my life holding me close. He stirred slightly, and opened his eyes to kiss me. I was attached to him like we were in an embrace. We sat up slowly without parting from each other and looked around. Our coffees were still on the table, my wet clothes were still in a pile, and Ezra was still very shirtless.

Without saying a word we detached ourselves from each other and got up. Ezra walked over to the kitchenette to make some new coffee. I stayed silent. Looking up from the coffee he said, "You know, you look good like that. In my clothes I mean. You should sleepover more often..."

I smiled slightly. Then I remember everything. I was embarrassed at my behavior. First I yelled at him for Jackie, then I came sobbing back, and then I fell asleep in his arms. Wow, I must come off moody.

"Ezra...about last night. I'm so sorry."

"For what? Yelling at me about Jackie? That's way in the past Aria, and I was never mad at you for that. Nothing is wrong. We are okay as far as I'm concerned. I love you more than anything in the world and am a lucky bastard that you decided to show up last night because honestly, I don't know what I would do without you. I've been going crazy since that party at your parent's house yesterday."

He had made his way over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. His lips were inches from mine when he whispered, "And for the record, you're all that I'm asking for, too." He pressed his lips to mine and every nerve in my body felt it. I felt alive. We pulled apart and looked at each other, only briefly, before Ezra led me to the bedroom.

He sat me down softly and pressed his body close to mine. With every beat of his heart, I felt like anything was possible. All the time trying to make sense of it all just fell away and left us in this perfect moment where there was only us. We knew we would make these mistakes again, but they're in the past tense and there's no making sense of it all.

I laid my head against his chest, and wrapped my arms around his waist. At the same time we said, "You're all that I'm asking for..."
