Chapter 6

When they arrived, Ezra suggested watching a movie, and Aria agreed as long as he would pick because she picked last time. Ezra picked a movie and soon they were watching it, with Ezra holding Aria tightly to him. After the movie finished they continued to sit on the couch in comfortable silence listening to the other breathe, neither one wanting to break the contact. Ezra finally broke the silence.

"So you're sure you're going to Hollis at the end of summer?" He asked after kissing her forehead.

"Yeah I got the acceptance letter yesterday, and Spencer will probably be in one of my classes and Emily is going to be there too hopefully," Aria smiled at the thought of being with two of her best friends as they go into college. Hanna is the only one not going to college as she got a job waiting for her in Philadelphia in a clothing line after summer ends.

"That's good, let's hope I'm not your teacher this time," Ezra quietly laughed. Even though it wasn't against the rules to date your student or professor, both Ezra and Aria didn't want to be looked down on because of it and it's Aria's chance to escape the reputation she had back at high school. At the thought of her dark times during high school, she shuddered.

"You cold?" Ezra asked as he brushed her hair off her face and kissed her forehead again. He'd been told his apartment was always cold.

"A little, but I was just thinking," Aria replied, shaking her head a little. Ezra got up and went into the kitchen, where he called out,

"Would you like a coffee or something?" Ezra almost fell asleep during the movie, he'd gotten home late last night after dropping Aria off, then when he was finally home he couldn't sleep, so he read a book until about 3am, then was woken by his phone just before 9am when Ella invited him over for breakfast, and he couldn't refuse that.

"No thanks, but I think I'm going to lie in your bed, it's kind of cold out here now," Aria called back, interrupting Ezra's thoughts and she walked past and gave him a quick kiss, Ezra deepened the kiss and she wrapped her arms around his neck and his hands around her waist and pulled her closer, then he hoisted her up and she wrapped her legs around his back and he put her down on the bench, without breaking the kiss. They broke apart when the kettle boiled, scaring Aria with the unexpected noise, and Ezra just grinned as he made a coffee, Aria jumped down and walked down the hall.

"You know where to find me," Aria called as she poked her head around the corner. Ezra heard her flop onto his bed, the springs squeaking. He walked in with his coffee and put in on the nightstand and crawled into bed with Aria who was reading the blurb on a book, and when he came in she put it down with a smile. He kissed her forehead and brushed her hair aside, then made his way down to her lips, without breaking contact she moved so she was under him, and laced her fingers in his.

"Do you have any idea how much I love you?" Ezra mumbled when they finally broke apart, not trusting his voice enough fully to speak with a louder volume. Aria loosened the tie as she pulled him to her, and soon the tie was thrown to the floor, Ezra laughed before capturing Aria's lips in his once again. Aria began unbuttoning his shirt, and he did the same to her shirt, they broke apart to get rid of their shirts, Aria's hand travelled across Ezra's bare back and he once again pushed her hair out of her face and he took possession of her lips once more. Ezra felt her beginning to unbuckle his belt, and his hands travelled to her bra and undid it as she pulled his fly down to take off his pants. He slid easily out of his pants and she disregarded her bra. Once his pants were on the floor Ezra lightly kissed her neck, travelling along her artery and then returning to her lips once more. He tugged at her pants as she tugged at his boxers, and they were quickly thrown off onto the floor. Ezra began caressing her breasts as she moaned quietly, she wound her hand in his hair and gently pulled his head to hers, and they began a deep kiss, and when they were both gasping for air they broke apart.

"I love you so much, and I have you all summer," Aria said as she smiled and ran her hands along his chest, and kissed him again before removing her underwear and throwing them on the floor. He took her hand in his and slowly entered her as they both let out a loud moan. Aria arched against him and soon they were in sync. When they both reached their peaks at the same time they cried out in pleasure. Ezra flopped onto the bed next to her, not letting go of her hand. They both lay there for a minute, getting their breath back, before Ezra turned to her and smiled. He traced his finger along Aria's arm and brushed her hair back.

"I love you way too damn much Aria," Ezra said as he grinned, "My coffee is probably cold now," he teased. Aria laughed and rested her head on his chest.

"I love you way too much too Ezra," Aria mumbled into his chest before giving it a light kiss, that set off a tingling sensation all over Ezra's chest. He was stroking her hair when his phone rang. He jumped out of bed and put on some boxers, then answered. Aria lay in his bed looking at the ceiling, and then decided to put one of Ezra's shirts on. She'd just gotten it on when Ezra came back smiling; they both made their way back to the bed and lay together.

"Why are you smiling so much?" Aria asked, looking into Ezra's eyes, she too was smiling.

"Because I love you, and I just got my job confirmed, I'm still teaching at Hollis next year," Ezra replied, kissing her on the forehead, and then held her head to his chest. She could hear his heart beating as fast as she could feel hers beating. She smiled and then her stomach grumbled. She looked at the alarm clock next to the bed and saw it was almost time for dinner.
"Should I order Chinese or do you want to go out somewhere?" Ezra laughed, and Aria hid her face in his chest, embarrassed.

"Chinese sounds good to me," she mumbled into his soft skin. She couldn't resist the urge to kiss it so she gave it one last gentle kiss before Ezra went to order. Aria found all her clothes and put them in a pile. Ezra got off the phone and came back into the room and wrapped his hands around her waist and kissed the back of her head.

"How long until the food's ready?" Aria asked, turning around in his arms to look at Ezra.

"It's really busy tonight so they said at least 20 minutes," Ezra replied and kissed her forehead, she smiled.

"Okay. Time for a shower then," Aria reached up for a quick kiss and then grabbed her clothes.

"Excellent, let's go," Ezra said and smirked, Aria realized he was serious and nodded.

"Good, I've never been able to figure out your hot water anyway," Aria said, and Ezra laughed. It took him a few weeks until he figured it out too, but he wasn't about to say that, instead, he laced his fingers in Aria's and led her to the bathroom. Soon the bathroom was steamy with hot water vapor and Ezra was standing under the hot water with Aria's head to his chest. They stood like that for a few minutes and then Aria felt how turned on Ezra was on her leg and she laughed sheepishly, and Ezra just grinned and shrugged.

"I told you how much I love you, now you can see," Ezra said and Aria shook her head laughing. She kissed him and let some of the water run into their mouths as the deepened the kiss and soon Aria was hoisted up and her legs were wrapped around Ezra's waist, he had her pinned up against the wall and soon Aria pulled away, gasping for breath, water running down her face and her hair in her eyes. Ezra moved her hair behind her ear and turned the water off. Without moving her, Ezra walked out of the bathroom back into the bed. Something suddenly dawned on Aria as Ezra put her down onto the bed and was on top of her.

"What about the food?" Aria asked, thinking it's been about 20 minutes since Ezra ordered.

"Oh yeah. You can be very distracting you know," Ezra teased as he went back into the bathroom and grabbed two towels and handed one to Aria. Ezra wrapped the towel around his waist and Aria took a good look at him, he'd be working out, you could see the start of a 6 pack forming and his hair still dripping trails of water down his face and chest. Aria smiled and Ezra walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead and then dried himself and got changed. Aria did the same, sneaking glances at Ezra as he did up his belt and shirt. She couldn't help but smile. Once dressed, Ezra gave her a quick kiss on the lips and then headed out to get the Chinese from the best pace in town, down the road. Aria walked around the apartment and waited for Ezra to return. After 20 minutes she called Ezra to see what was taking so long, she thought it was just because of the crowd, he did say it was really busy tonight. When Aria heard Ezra's phone going off in the bedroom she sighed and hung up, he'd forgotten his phone, again. She sat on the couch and waited. Another 20 minutes she began to get worried and started pacing the house. How long does it take to get food, it takes like two minutes to drive there, she said to herself. That's when she heard the sirens.
