As the day, was coming to an end. Aria still seemed a little disapointed that I had, went way over our limit. But can you really blame me for that? That ring is a simbol of our love, our devossion to one an other. I wanted Aria to have the best there is...
But for now, I'm just happy that she's talking to me. And were not in silence, I don't think I would be able to handle that. Aria had emerged from the bathroom, wearing nothing but the white fluffy towel. I smiled and stood from the bed.
"I think we need to talk" I spoke out and started pacing the room.
"What's going on?" Aria looked confused as to what I was going to say.
"I... Have you made up, your mind about Hollis?" It wasn't the question, I was going to ask. But it's a breaker.
"Yeah, I think I have" Aria smiled and started to get dress "I'm going to NYU"
"Really? That's great" I wrapped my arms around her waist, and started to kiss her neck.
"Ezra we have to get ready, everyone is waiting for us" Aria giggled. "What's going on?"
"Are you still, mad about the ring?" The question, I've been waiting to ask finally came out. "I know we made a promise, but I wanted my furture wife to have the best. I'm sorry" I apologized and hoped she'll accept
Aria sighed and turned around to face me "I was... well I still am. I just wish you didn't spend to much. As long as it came from you, that's all I want"
"I love you" I said before giving, Aria a peck on the lips.
"I love you too, Ezra. now go get ready." Aria pushed me away, and I just chuckled.
I walked into the bathroom, and took a fast shower. Once I had gotten out, Aria was gone. "Where did she go?" I question myself, as I gotten ready. It was close to seven, and Aria still wasn't back yet. So I called her, but she left her phone in the room. ONce I was ready, I walked out into the hallway to see Caleb and Aria talking in hush tones.
"what's going on?" I asked, as I walked up beside Aria
"Nothing, just some friendly bonding" Aria told me.
"I should see, if Hanna is out of the shower. I'll see you guys, soon" Caleb winked at Aria, and Walked off into his room
"What was that all about?" I question, once Aria walked into our room. A hint of jealousy washed over me. When Aria didn't answered, I stopped her from walking to the suit cases. "Aria?"
"Ezra, it's nothing. Caleb just had a question for me that's it." Aria said squeezed my hand "I'm hungry, are you ready?" She grabbed her bag and the room key.
"What are you hiding from me?" I question her again. "I don't think I'm hungry anymore, why don't you go down."
"Ezra, come on" Aria looked at me with a slight hint of anger "you brought me an expensive ring, the least you can do is let me buy you dinner" Aria took hold of my hand, and dragged me out of the room.
Aria's POV:
Ezra's being a pain in the ass right now, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. It's like a big baby, who couldn't get what he wanted from the toy store.
When Ezra and I made our way, downstairs we wanted a few minutes and were joined by the rest of the group. Caleb looked at me and smiled, and then Hanna looked at me and winked. I'm guessing Caleb filled her in on my plan, I'm just hoping the restaurant we're going to can pull it off. the women at the front desk said, that they usually book it way ahead. But she was able to pull a few strings, and got us a table for 8. once we get to the restaurant, Caleb and Hanna will come into play.
We ended up walking to the restaurant, and checked in. I smiled at Ezra, and he just looked around the restaurant completely ignoring me. I linked my arm around his, as the group went ahead. I wanted Hanna and Caleb to get a head with my plan.
"what is wrong with you?" I asked in a clam voice
"Why are you hiding crap from me?" Ezra hissed "I thought we were going to be honest with eachother? Does Caleb have a crush on you or something?"
I looked at him with wide eyes, trying to contame my laugher. "No. He just wanted some advise, about Hanna. And since she was in the shower, he came to me"
"You sure, that's it?" Ezra asked.
"Pretty sure" I answered and dragged, Ezra into the restaurant. I looked at hanna and she just wiggled her eyebrows at me.
Once we sat down, the waitress came over and introduced herself. The restaurant was beautiful, There's this huge aquarium filled with sharks and all kind of different tropical fish. They also had, divers in the tank. Doing shows, and feeding the fish.
Once dinner had arrived, the table made small talk. Everyone telling and talking about what they did and saw. Spencer and Toby, had ditched what they originally planned and ended up just renting a car and driving around the Island. Toby also said that Spencer, threw her sandwich at him because they got lost. But when they finally asked for directions, the guy laughed. And said as long as you see water, you could never get lost.
Emily and Samara, went to diamond head. They wanted to walk up the 1000 plus stairs that lead to the top of the monutain. They also showed us some pictures, of the whales that they saw. And the differents boats, while they were up there.
As for Hanna, Caleb, Ezra and I we all had plans to go shopping. But we didn't have anything to show for it, but Ezra's ring. Which I still say, I've could have gotten a better one knowning Ezra spent over 20 grand on it.
"Is there a Mr. Fitz at the table?" The hostess asked us, breaking us from our conversation.
"Yes, is everything okay?" Ezra turned in his seat and asked.
"Well, not really. We need your help"
Ezra's POV:
"My help?" I asked not knowing what was happening "May I ask with what?"
"Well, a few people came up to us. They said you always wanted to go diving, and due to your extremly over protected fiancee' you didn't get your chance." At this point I looked at Aria, who was smiling away. "We don't usually do this, but they talked to the owner and made him a deal he couldn't refuse so lets go."
"Your crazy Aria, When did you do this?" I asked as I stood up.
Aria shrugged and looked at the table, who were all laughing "Have fun okay, at least this way I know the shark wont eat you." She smiled.
I shook my head and followed the girl, to the elevator. And up to the top of the tank "So how many people did this?"
"Not many, it's very rare. The owner doesn't want untrained people in the tank, but your fiancee really loves you. She is very determine to get what she wanted."
The woman told me, as I was putting on the wet suit. "So the sharks in here?"
"They are very well fed, you don't have to worry. Just don't step on the sting ray, or they'll get you in a heart beat." I tensed up at this point "Don't worry, you'll be fine. This slate is for you, you can write what you please on it."
Once everything was put together, and I had the wet suit on. Toby and Caleb joined me."What's going on?" I question, and noticed they were also putting on wet suits.
"Were going with you. You didn't think ya'll have all the fun now did you?" Caleb laughed.
"Yeah man, we also pulled a few strings. I'm going to ask spencer to Marry me. Right now!" Toby said in excitement.
"What? Are you serious? I thought you wanted to wait till college was over?" So many question were flowing though my mouth.
Toby and Caleb laughed "Yeah that's the plan, but we can have this long enagement I don't mind." Toby smiled and the women handed him the same writing slate as me. "I'm excited for this, I'm shaking"
"It's a rush, believe me. But you'll get over it the second she say's yes" I told him and at the count of three was all jumped into the water.
It was magically, having all these tropical fish swimming around us. Being able to actually touch the shark and not worry about being eaten by it. Aria was right, this is so much better then what I wanted to do. Which was go into a shark cage, in the middle of the ocean and look at them.
The three of us swam around, going from one reef to the other. Until we finally found the table where the girls were at. Aria mindlessly laughing, with them. And taking a few pictures. Toby looked at me, and gave me a thumbs up. He wrote, on his slate. MARRY ME? Aria, saw us and motioned for spencer to look.
When spencer caught side of us, she spit her drink all over hanna. I started to chuckle, and almosted choked on my restporator.
"YES" Spencer screamed, and the only reason I knew that, was because everyone turned to look at her.
"On my slate I wrote. Forever and always, thank you!" To aria, she blew a kiss in my direction. And the three of us made it back to the surface.
Aria's POV:
Ezra and the guys made it back to the table, with grins the size of the world on their faces. Spencer and Toby embraced each other, working their way into a full on make out session. Caleb and Hanna smiled, she knew Caleb would have a great time. Ezra picked me off my chair and sat me in his lap "I'm so sorry, I thought you and Caleb was having-"
I cut him off placing a chasted kiss to his lips "You have nothing to worry about, I only have eyes for one man." I whispered into his ear, and when I was done I gave it a little nibble.
"Aria, you know I can't resist you when you do that." Ezra moaned out
"I know, but it's fun." I giggled and the owner came up.
"Ms. Montgomery?" He smiled at me "You have know Idea how happy I am, that you could fill in on such short notice."
"What is he talking about?" Ezra question.
"Can I have a minute, then the girls and I will be right there" I said and he nodded. "when you took a nap, I wanted to do something special. So the woman at the front desk told me about this place. And when she mention about the tank, I had asked if you could dive in it, considering how much I don't want you in the open water." Ezra chuckled "She got hold of the owner, and he shut me down. Telling me the million reason's why he can't allow it, and How busy he was trying to find a performer for the night. So I made him a deal, I told him. If he was to make an acception and allow you to dive for just an hour, then I'll perform for the restaurant, but I'm only doing two songs."
Ezra kissed my lips and looked into my eyes lovingly "Your amazing you know that, but can I ask you something?"
I nodded "You can ask me anything"
"Don't get mad, but what are you proforming? Can you even sing?" Ezra asked curious.
Hanna choked on her water, and Spencer turned to look at Ezra in shock. Emily just giggled "No I'm not that good, that's why I need the girls." I turned and gave the girls a wink.
"It's okay, you'll be amazing." Ezra told me and the girls and I went back stage.
As the girls and I went back stage, everyone gave me a confused look "Aria, we didn't know we had to go upstage with you?" Spencer was the first to voice out
"I know, but please you know I have stage fright I don't want to do this alone." I begged, and gave a little pout
"Aria, I love you and all. But this is crazy, what are we going to do?" Emily shook her head.
"Remember the 7th grade, talent show?" I smiled as Hanna's eyes went wide.
"Please don't take me back to that..." Hanna laughed "It was so embrassing, I almost fell off stage."
"Please hanna, you'll sing and the rest of us will do back ground."
"What about the second song?" Emily said
"I'll sing that one solo, just please do this for me?"
"Alright, I'm in." Spencer pulled me in for a hug "Me too" Emily Joined in
"What do you say Han, I can't do this without you"
"Okay, I'm in. But you owe me big time."
"Alright, are you ladies ready?" I nodded and he handed over the mic's "No sexy dancing, and for the love of god please hit your notes."
"Then I think Aria should sing" Hanna said "You know this is not the seventh grade, and I'm bound to mess up."
"Hanna, your fabulous. Your not going to mess up" I tried to reassure her
"NO Aria, I can't. I'm Sorry, but you'll have to sing."
"Fine, just please come on stage with me" I asked Hanna, Spencer and Emily was already down for it.
Hanna nodded "Of course, I might not sing lead. But I sure as hell ain't missing this spot light." She giggle and the rest of us took in deep breaths
"Here goes nothing" We walked out to the curtains just as the owner was making his announcement.
Ezra's POV:
"Have any of you, heard them sing before?" I asked the table once the girls left, I didn't want Aria making a fool out of herself.
"Hanna likes, to put on her Ipod in and thinks she can sing" Caleb laughed
"Spencer hum's a lot, but she can carry a tone" Toby smiled
"Emily, well actually. I've never heard Emily sing, or anything. But I'm sure she'll try her best"
"Aria, hum's too. But it's always a little off key, so I'm a little nervous and confused as to why she would agree to something like this" I said to them and took a sip of my water.
"Dude, Aria has a set of lungs. If she sing's off key, there must be a reason behind that" Toby told me.
"What? I'm pretty sure your mistaken"
"No, I'm not. She did the talent show in 7th grade, and Hanna almost fell of stage." Caleb started laughing. "And Aria stole the show. You should tell her, about the home video Ella has of her."
I sat there shock, everytime were in the car. Aria sing's off, and it's a little annoying. "I have to hear it to believe it" I said and turned my attention to the stage.
"Alright, my orignal performer couldn't make it here tonight. But don't be alarmed, I do have a group of women willing to perform for you. So please give a round of hands. To these brave women..." The owner announced
Aria, Hanna, Spencer and Emily came on stage. Hanna did her little wave to the crowd and the rest of us shook our heads.
"Thank you for that introduction" Spencer spoke into the mic "Although we haven't done this in years. We made a little deal, so we have to sing."
"We will try our best, now to break your ears" Emily smiled and waved over to our table.
Aria glanced over to me and gave me a wink before, hearing the music. It looked like she was staged fright. But I didn't blame her, the place is packed.
"Oh baby, baby" Aria shaked out.
"Oh baby, baby"
"Oh baby, baby how was I supposed to know, that something was it right here"
"Aria is really nervous, are you sure it was her that stoled that seventh grade talent show?" I teased
"Just give her time, she'll open up." Toby said, and I contiune to watch
"My loneliness is killing me I must confess I still believe When I'm not with you I lose my mind Give me a sign Hit my willy one more time"
" Oh baby baby how was I supposed to know Oh pretty baby I shouldn't have let you go "
"I'm still not seeing it man." I said, and turned to face Toby.
"Dude. Where's you faith. And plus I must say this is the song from seventh grade" Toby and the rest of us laughed "But She's doing a pretty good job."
"Yeah, I'll give her credit for that" I smiled and turned back to Aria and the girls
Aria sang, the last of the notes. And some of the crowd clapped, I cheered as loud as I could, along with the table. The song was bad, and I hope Aria didn't get her hopes up. But theres still one more song so, I hope she does well on that one.
"I don't know what happen?" Toby said "she was great in seventh grade" He shrugged his shoulders. "maybe she could sense you'r negativiy"
"I doubt that... You think?" I asked after a while
"Yeah!" The table exclaimed "Well I'm sorry, it's just I've heard Aria sing so I'm going with that"
"So that wasn't what I was expecting, but we do have another number. Please keep in mind I am not a professional." Aria glanced my way "Honey, this one's for you." She gave me another wink. And the song started it was "From this Moment"
"From this moment life has begun, From this moment you are the one Right beside you is where I belong From this moment on"
"From this moment I have been blessed I live only for your happiness And for your love I'd give my last breath From this moment on"
My Jaw hung wide, at this point. "I told you Ezra, Aria is awesome." Toby patted my back
"I give my hand to you with all my heart Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start You and I will never be apart My dreams came true because of you"
"From this moment as long as I live I will love you, I promise you this There is nothing I wouldn't give From this moment on"
Aria Had gotten off stage, and walked over to me. Pulling me to the center of the floor. She was serenating me, it front of all these people. I felt a lone tear roll down my cheek. I felt like an ass for doublting her abilitly. She is a wonder woman.
"You're the reason I believe in love And you're the answer to my prayers from up above All we need is just the two of us My dreams came true because of you"
"From this moment as long as I live I will love you, I promise you this There is nothing I wouldn't give From this moment I will love you as long as I live From this moment on"
OKay I know I haven't updated in a while, but I hope the extra long chapter helps for my lack. I know I have mistakes, but I'm working on it. Please Review thank you!
