WE DO NOT OWN ANYTHING
Kiss Me- Sixpence None The Richer
Ezra and I were kissing heavily on his couch one summer evening. It felt so good not to have to worry about school or the repercussions of someone finding out though I knew we had to be careful just the same. We were getting close to the line and I knew he would stop me soon, but I wasn't about to let him. I wanted this, him, more than anything. My bottom lip was stuck between his teeth as he sucked on me. I moaned out in pleasure as he started to lean back on the couch, pulling me on top of him.
Suddenly the phone rang. Neither of us made a move to answer it. We were rather preoccupied with each other's lips. Ezra's lips moved to my neck and I could feel the want between my legs. I moaned his name softly, almost as a whisper. His lips cam back to mine and kissed me gently. That's when the answering machine picked up.
Hello big brother! Just wanted to touch base before the wedding! I need you here a few days in advance to help me out. I hope that's okay! See you next week! Love you.
Aria popped up and looked down at her boyfriend, a crumpled and frustrated mess below her.
"Who's getting married?" I asked him, slightly confused as to why he hadn't mentioned anything. He sighed and sat up.
"My sister." He seemed reluctant to tell me. I'm not really sure why.
"That's great Ezra! Why didn't you tell me?" I asked him.
He paused before answering me. "I've been debating whether or not to invite you..."
"Ezra! I don't know what to say-" he cut me off.
"It's just that, it's in Georgia, you would need an alibi for the week, and my family will notice the age gap. That being said, I really want you there."
I looked at him for a moment. I knew this was dangerous, I knew it was risky, but I also knew he needed me there. He didn't say so, and never would admit, that when I asked to go I made him extremely happy. That's how I ended up on a plane to Savannah, GA under the alibi that I was visiting Spencer's grandma with her family. Luckily, Spencer actually was visiting her grandma that week, she just didn't live in Georgia.
The minute we were situated in our seats, I immediately fell asleep with Ezra's arm around me. I dreamed of the wedding and if his parents would like me. I dreamed of the plantation we would be staying on. I dreamed of walks in the moonlight and stolen kisses in the halls. I dreamed of dancing with him. I dreamed of being with him in every way possible. It's what I wanted.
I was woken up by Ezra's soft kisses along my jaw. I sighed and turned my head to him so the next kiss landed on my lips. "No fair," Ezra whispered against my lips with no intention of stopping. "Too bad," I whispered back. Suddenly, we heard an awe come from the aisle. We turned to see one of the flight attendants looking at us. We both blushed a deep scarlet, but she told us not to be embarrassed. "I just love seeing newlyweds on the plane! It's adorable!"
"Oh, miss! We're-" I began, but Ezra cut me off. "We're just married and completely in love." the stewardess gave us one last smile and then headed to the front of the plane.
"So now we're married?" I teased. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer (as if that was possible, I was already practically in his lap and the woman with the window seat was glaring at us).
"If people are going to assume we are married, then I'm not going to correct them. It's better than the alternative in Rosewood."
"That it is."
The plane landed safely and we exited into the airport. His family was picking us up and didn't know I was coming. We walked down to baggage and we spotted his family. They hadn't seen us yet, then Ezra did something that surprised me. He dipped me to the ground and kissed me. It was our first real public kiss. It felt amazing. We were in our own world and it felt like we would never leave. When he pulled me back up I heard clapping around us. We parted and I saw that everyone in the baggage claim was clapping for us. I blushed and buried my face in Ezra's chest.
Ezra's family walked over to us. It was his sister and her fiancé©, his mom, dad, and older brother. They introduced themselves as Annabelle, Steven, Clarissa, Jackson, and Daniel. They were all very cordial and polite, but something seemed off. There was a barrier between us.
Ezra introduced me as his girlfriend (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!) and we collected our bags. As I was searching for my second one, I overheard Ezra talking to his brother Daniel.
"How old is she man?" Daniel asked. Ezra hesitated before saying, "She's turning 17 in 3 weeks."
"Z! That is total jailbait!" Daniel freaked. I laughed internally because that was Hardy's nickname for me. Other than the girls (and now Ezra's family), Hardy was the only one who knew about us.
"Dan! Keep your voice down, she'll hear you! She's already nervous enough without you judging us. We are completely, totally, and utterly in love with each other. Just drop it."
"Fine. Just answer me this one thing. Was she your student?" He had asked the multi-million dollar question. I waited for Ezra's answer. After a long few seconds he said yes. Daniel freaked out, but before he could say anything else something shut him up. I don't know what. I felt Ezra's presence behind me a second before his arms circled my waist. "There's your bag," he whispered before biting my earlobe. I took in a sharp breath and grabbed the bag before I suddenly had a hickey the size of Neptune. Ezra and I tended to get carried away.
We walked with his family in silence to the parking lot. we stopped in front of an old pick-up and a humongous SUV. Daniel tossed Ezra a pair of keys and said, "We drove your old pick-up here because there isn't enough room in he SUV with all of Belle's wedding nonsense."
"It's not nonsense!" Annabelle said as she playfully pushed her brother.
"Thanks, man," Ezra said as he loaded my bags into the car. Daniel turned to me and asked, "So Aria. Where do you go to school? Hollis? Is that how you met Z over here?"
I narrowed my eyes at him because he knew exactly what was going on with Ezra and I. That was made perfectly clear at the baggage claim. He gave me an obnoxious smirk.
"Yes... Dear. Where do you attend?" his mother asked forcefully. I didn't know what to say.
"Ezra! I suggest you come out here right now!" I yelled to him. He cam around the car and wrapped an arm around my waist, immediately comforting me. "What's wrong, love?" he asked me.
"Your family wants to know if I attend Hollis and if that's how we met..." I explained.
He nodded and turned to his family. "Aria doesn't go to college," he stated.
"Oh!" his mother said. She looked down on me as if I chose not to go. If only she knew... "Well that's... Nice."
"She doesn't go to college because she's in high school."
We all stood there awkwardly when the realization of our relationship sunk in. His mother turned on her heel and got in her car. The rest of us were left to stand there. Finally, he said goodbye and helped me in the car. I heard his mom say they will talk about it later and I heard Daniel tell Ezra how to get to the nearest rest stop if we needed "alone time". Right now it didn't seem like a bad idea. Ezra got in the car and pulled out of the garage. We drove in silence for 20 minutes before pulling into said rest stop. I stared at my hands in my lap when suddenly they were wrapped in Ezra's. I looked up at him and saw tears in his eyes.
"Oh Ezra! Stop crying, it's okay!" I told him as I stroked his cheek and kissed him gently. His hand came up to envelope mine on his face.
"Aria... I need to explain some things to you."
"Okay..." I was getting nervous. He never talked like this.
"My parents really liked Jackie. They were devastated when I broke it off with her. As you know, Jackie was certifiably insane. You're the only one I've ever told that to, so my parents think I was insane to break up with her. Ezra and I were kissing heavily on his couch one summer evening. It felt so good not to have to worry about school or the repercussions of someone finding out though I knew we had to be careful just the same.

I blushed and buried my face in Ezra's chest.
Ezra's family walked over to us. It was his older sister and her fiancé, his mom, and older brother. His dad had died a while ago. They introduced themselves as Annabelle, Steven, Clarissa, and Daniel. They were all very cordial and polite, but something seemed off. There was a barrier between us.

"My parents really liked Jackie. They were devastated when I broke it off with her. As you know, Jackie was certifiably insane. You're the only one I've ever told that to, so my parents think I was insane to break up with her." My lip started to quiver as tears threatened to spill over my eyes. Ezra kissed me softly and leaned his forehead into mine. "Aria. You are the most real thing in my life. I never want to lose you. My family will come around eventually. Until then, I have a few surprises for you."
I wiped away my tears and said, "And what would those be Mr. Fitz?"
He kissed me again, but only briefly, and told me I would have to wait to find out. We buckled our seatbelts and drove the rest of the way to his family's plantation.
We pulled into the driveway and I was simply in aw of the house. As it turns out, the plantation was the exact same one where The Last Song wedding was filmed! I was pretty damn excited. Ezra gave me the grand tour (spending some extra time examining his bedroom) before we met his family on the patio.
When I stepped into the backyard, I was wonderstruck. I had never seen anything so beautiful. It was decorated in twinkling lights, there were glowing lanterns everywhere, and each table was decorated in enchanting wild flowers. It looked just like a fairytale.
"Annabelle..." I breathed. She smiled genuinely. "This is incredible."
Ezra looked at me with all the love in the world and I couldn't feel luckier to have him than I did at that very moment. I hadn't realized how long we had been staring into each other's eyes until I heard his sister squeal with delight. "Oh my goodness! Are you two not the cutest thing I have ever seen?" We blushed as he enveloped me in his arms. "You have no idea..." he whispered before pressing his lips to mine. I couldn't help the smile that spread over my face, but I could feel his, too. Cheers erupted around us from his siblings. From everyone except his mother. I let it go and cherished this moment.
"So how did you two lovebirds meet?" Annabelle asked excitedly.
"Well... I was kind of in a bar-" I started, but was cut of by the dragon lady. "How old are you again?" his mother asked.
"I'm turning 17 in 3 weeks. I was getting a bite to eat. It's not like they card anyway. As I was saying, I was a bit jet lagged from just coming back from Iceland and Ezra over here took advantage of that," I said with a smirk.
"I did not! You flirted with me!" he exclaimed. I let out a girlish giggle and kissed his shoulder.
"Anyway, our favorite song came on and we kept talking and before you know it we are making out in the ladies room!"
"And Ezra, you didn't realize she was a high school student?" his mother asked. I tensed, but his fingers brushed my hip and I relaxed.
"No I didn't. In my defense, she led me to believe she attended Hollis," he said in defense.
"He is such a liar. He assumed I was in college," I teased. He started to tickle my sides and I fell right into his trap. I fell across his lap and he kissed my lips. This got another round of "awes" from most of his family.
"When did you find out he was your teacher?" asked Annabelle. I really liked her. She didn't judge us, but didn't ignore the fact that we were very much illegal.
"My first period AP English class the next day. I believe his exact words after seeing me were 'Holy Crap'. We really tried to stay away from each other, but it was love at first sight and there's no denying true love. Even if it can get you arrested," I said. He kissed my temple and I leaned farther into his embrace. There were a few peaceful moments before his mother said, "So! Dinner anyone? I thought we'd go down to see Paula. We haven't seen Mrs. Dean in far too long!" Clarissa said snootily. As if I didn't know who Paula Dean was!
"Actually Mom, I have something planned for Aria tonight. We will be back late so don't wait up," Ezra said. From the reactions of his siblings and his mother, I don't think you were supposed to disagree with Mrs. Fitz.
"Very well," she said. She left the patio and ordered the rest to follow. They gave us apologetic smiles as they left. Daniel gave me the hand sign to call him and wiggled his eyebrows, but Ezra slapped him on the head and that was pretty much the end of Daniel's flirtation with me.
When they were all gone I wrapped my arms around Ezra's waist and asked where we are going. "It's a surprise." he pulled out an old battered map and grabbed my hand. We walked towards the bearded barely on our way to god knows where.
"Wait!" I said, grabbing Ezra's arm.
"What?" he asked alarmed.
"Kiss me. Out of the bearded barely."
He chuckled lightly placed a kiss on my forehead, then quickly headed into the maze of barely. "That's not what I meant!" I yelled before rolling after him.
We made it across the maze and before me was a creek. The grass by the bank was the greenest I had ever seen. On the other side was a gazebo lit up with the same twinkle lights from the backyard. I was enchanted by the sight before me. Ezra's sexy voice snapped me out of the trance.
"Follow me..." he whispered.
"Kiss me! Beside the green, green grass..." I pleaded.
He dragged me down to the bank and kissed my nose, causing Ke to be even more frustrated. Before I could complain, he had slipped out of his shoes and had splashed into the water.
"Ezra! You got my dress wet!" I yelled playfully. He waded over to me and said, "That's not the only thing I want to get wet..." before grabbing my waist and pulling me in. I screamed with surprise as I was engulfed in the frigid, yet refreshing, water. I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself to him.
"Kiss me."
He leaned in and kissed my cheek. He pulled me up to the other side and led me tithe gazebo.
"Ezra! Kiss me! Beneath the milky twilight!" I almost yelled. He looked me straight in the eye and slowly walked towards me. His hand slid up to cup my face and he kissed me. A real kiss. On the lips. with tongue. After a few moments we parted, rearguard, and even more frustrated than ever. I swear, the look in his eyes told me he wanted to have his way with me right here on the grass. I would've let him too, had he tried of course. But Ezra was much too much of a gentleman to do such a thing. Instead, he lifted his open hand. He pressed play on the home he had set up and Happiness blared through the speakers. I felt like Hilary Duff in "A Cinderella Story"! Except Ezra was way hotter than Chad Michael Murray. I swear the fireflies danced and the silver moon sparkled.
"Kiss me," I whispered. And he did. It wasn't earth shattering, and it wasn't passionate. It was tender, and loving. It was exactly what we both wanted.
It was over too quickly and before I knew it Ezra had pulled me down a well-worn trail he found marked on his father's map. It took us to an old tree house. Ezra opened his arms wide as to show me the tree house. I couldn't help, but smile at him. "This is where I brought the first girl I ever thought I loved."
"Gee thanks. I really needed to know that?" I teased. Apparently I did because he nodded.
He walked over to me and took my hand and guided my to a hanging tire. I sat down and felt him place something on my head. My hand flew to my hair and realized it was a crown made of daisies. I turned around and said, "Kiss me." His lips came close to mine, but before they could touch, he said, "Not yet…" and pulled away.
"This is where I had my first kiss," he began as he started to push the tire swing. "It's where I came the first time I got dumped. It's where I came when my dad died. No one else knows it's here except Jenna Mlynowski. She was my first 'love' and kiss. We were 7."
He stopped pushing me and came around to face me. "You're the only other person I have brought here. You're the only person who matters. As long as I have, I know that nothing bad can happen. I love you Aria Montgomery," he said, getting down on one knee, "Will you marry me?"
Tears were pouring from my face as I nodded "yes". I could barely speak I was so happy. He jumped up and I got out of the tire swing. He picked me up and swung me around.
"Ezra Fitz! Will you kiss me?" I asked him.
"Nothing would make me happier." His lips descended on mine as we kissed the way I've wanted to kiss him all night.

I really hope you liked this because I worked so hard on it! I got the idea after I saw a video of Ashley Benson and Shay Mitchell singing this song in the car. Review!
