41) Cooking
Jason and Aria invited Ella over for dinner the day after they moved into their new home. It was Jason's idea. And he promised that he'd cook. Aria was sceptical but she eventually promised him not to interfere. He wanted to impress his future mother-in-law. Jason had open one of his mum's old cook books. Aria walked into the kitchen, he didn't notice though as he had eyes firmly fixed on the book infront of him. Aria smiled at him. He had in 'concentration face' on.
"Babe?" she said as she walked closer.
He looked up a few seconds later. "I don't know what to cook.."
Aria shrugged her shoulders. "Don't ask me. You're the one who didn't want me to 'interfere' remember." she teased.
"Baby please. Give me a couple of hints as to what she likes, what she doesn't.." Jason looked at her with his puppy dog eyes.
Aria sighed. "Well first of all she's a vegetarian. Second of all, she's on a diet.."
"Okay..." Jason furrowed his eyebrows. That was no help to him as he already knew she didn't eat meat. Aria sat on the island worktop in the centre of the kitchen and watched Jason try to cook. She took out her phone and snapped a photo when he wasn't looking. Uploading it to Instagram, she captioned it. 'My soon to be hubby is cooking for me and my Mama :-)'

42) Tension
Jason had kissed Aria last night. She was still in a relationship with Ezra but that didn't stop her dreaming about Jason. She was sitting by herself, with a coffee and book in a cafe across the street from her school when Jason walked through the door. He smiled at her and she smiled back. He ordered a coffee and approached her. "Is it okay if I sit down?" he asked coffee in one hand, touching the chair with the other.
"Sure." Aria smiled. 'This is going to be awkward.' she thought to herself.
They sat there for a few minutes in silence. Aria sneaking glances at Jason and then quickly looking away when he'd look at her.
"Did I do something to upset you last night?" he finally asks.
"What? No. Why would you say that?" she laughs nervously.
"I can't help but feel like there's tension here." he answered.
"Well, um, I don't quite know how to say this.. but.." she paused.
"Say what? Just tell me." he sipped on his coffee.
"I have a boyfriend."
"Ahh." he put the mug down.
"I shouldn't have kissed you back last night.. but I really wanted to."
Jason furrowed his brows while trying to supress his smile.

43) Drawings
Aria loved Jason's passion for his job but when he brought his drawings to bed, she would get frustrated. All she wanted from Jason when they went to bed was some loving or a conversation about their day but when Jason brought the drawings of his new development to bed - she knew she'd get neither.

44) Pie
"Jase?" Aria called out as she walked through his front door with a dish in her hand. She'd come back for the weekend from college.
"Baby?" he heard him say from upstairs - confusion evident in his voice. Aria stood at the the bottom of the stairs. She smiled when she saw him coming down the stairs. "What are you doing here? You should have told me you were coming back to Rosewood." He jumped off the bottom step and took Aria's face in his hands - kissing her until he needed to breathe. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you more!" Aria answered as she leaned up for another kiss. Jason kissed her back softly.
He looked down to the dish in her hand. "What's this?" he asked.
"My mum made you a pie. She knows how hard you work." she replied as they walked into the kitchen.
"I love your mum." he told Aria as he removed the tea towel which was covering the dish.

45) Friends
"Do I have to do this?" Jason moaned as Aria gave him a shirt to put on.
"Yes, I promised."
"Please baby, let's just stay here."
"No.."
"Please."
"Jason, these are my friends from college and they want to meet you."
"Why though?"
"They want to meet my wonderful boyfriend I'm always talking about." she answered as she brushed her hair in the mirror.
Jason smiled. He was a pretty wonderful boyfriend. And wonderful boyfriends meet their girlfriends friends even if it means he has to sit uncomfortably for an hour or so.

46) Struggle
After Ali's body bag was found on the halloween train, Spencer thought it would be appropriate to give her a second burial. She would call Jason everyday, three times a day, tying to organise something but he'd never pick up. Little did she know he was at home in bed with Aria watching over him and taking care of him. Seeing that bag on the train was just like finding out Alison was dead all over again and he couldn't take it. When he first found out Ali had died, he was still taking drugs although not as much as he used to, so that was all a blur to him and he felt no real, raw emotion. But now, clean and sober for over a year. It really hurt. His heart ached for his little sister.
Spencer was keeping Aria updated with the plans for Alison's second burial and memorial. The night before Ali's second burial, Aria thought she better tell Jason just incase he wanted to come. "I know it's going to be a struggle for you, but we'll get through it together. I'll be with you the entire time. If you decided you can't handle it anymore, I'll drive you home." Aria told Jason as he lay in bed - Aria sitting on the edge next to him, running her fingers through his hair as she spoke.

47) Bound
There had always been a spark between Jason and Aria. Even when Aria was a young teenager and Jason abused drugs. He always seemed to care that extra bit for Aria, than he did for Emily, Hanna and Spencer. Once Aria got older and shared a kiss with Jason, that spark grew. They were spending more and more time with each other. Aria was with Ezra and Jason had just broke up with his girlfriend but they'd still be very close friends. Their families and friends couldn't help but notice the amount of time they spent together and asked if anything was going on. Both denied it. But when Ezra broke up with Aria a year later, she went running to the one guy she knew would always be there for her. Their parents weren't surprised when they were caught in bed together. They were bound to become a couple sooner or later.

48) Bet
"I bet you can't make that hole. If you do. I'll give you $100." Jason pointed to the hole which was four metres away from Aria and her golf club.
"You're on." she smiled. She knew she could do this. After a little decision making, she hit the ball and it rolled directly into the hole. "Thank you." she said proudly as Jason handed her the $100 note.

49) Cheat
Aria was off at college, so Jason decided to go to his friends house party. Little did he know that she was on her way back to Rosewood. She called him to ask where is was and what he was doing. He lied and said that he was at David's new house. The reason for lying was because he was actually at Cece Drake's house. His ex-girlfriend who Aria was always wary about. She had to drive past Cece's house to get into Rosewood. She looked to the left to see what all the commotion was about. She realised that Cece was having a party. 'Of course!' she thought to herself. She drove a little further and saw David. Confused about why he was near Cece's house, she pulled over and called his name.
"David!" she called out of the window.
He looked and saw her. "Hey Aria." he replied as he bent down to her window. "Where's Jason. I thought he was with you."
"Nope. I haven't seen him for a couple of days. He might be here. You should come in and see."
Aria mulled over it for a while. 'Why did Jason lie to me?' Aria sighed and left her car. Walked across the street and into Cece's house.
She pushed past a bunch of intoxicated people, trying to look for Jason. Then she heard someone call his name. She followed the sound and eventually came to a reception room.
She looked through the door and saw Cece straddling Jason. Aria couldn't see his face but it looked like they were kissing. "Jason!" she yelled out. Everyone's head turned to the door where Aria was standing on the verge of tears. She could feel the tears running down her face and ran out. She sobbed as she reached her car and struggled to use her keys. She leaned against the car and cried. She wanted to come back to Rosewood to surprise him. But instead he surprised her by lying and cheating. "Aria!" she heard Jason call. He ran across the road. She didn't want to speak to him, so she turned and tried her best to open the car door. Jason grabbed her arm. "Look at me.." he said softly. She was already upset enough, he didn't want to shout at her. "Aria, look at me please!" he begged.
"What?! What the hell do you want?! I can't believe you would cheat on me!" she shouted as she threw her keys to the ground.
"That wasn't what you thought it was and I didn't cheat - I swear."
"It wasn't?!"
"No, she got on my lap, tried to kiss me, I didn't want to kiss her so I kept moving my head and she just followed."
"Why were you letting her sit like that?" she asked as Jason picked up her keys from the ground. "She'd had a lot to drink, if I pushed her off me she'd have probably lost her balance and fallen head first onto the table behind her."
Aria sighed. "Well that doesn't explain why you'd lie and say you were at David's.." she folded her arms across her chest.
"Because I knew you don't like Cece. Cece's my friend, I can't just not see her. She invited me in person to this party. I thought it would be rude not to turn up." Aria sighed and shook her head. "Whatever." she turned and opened the door. "I'm going to stay with my mom and Mike tonight." she stepped into her car and put the window down halfway. "I'll probably see you tomorrow." Aria drove off quickly leaving Jason standing in the road, cursing at himself for being so stupid.

50) Bond
Once Jason and Aria became a couple, they became inseparable He'd always drive to see her at college. She'd drive to see him. He'd stay for a few days and nights when he could get time off work. During the first few weeks of their relationship it was evident they had a bond which could not be broken.
