Aria and Ezra were currently sitting across from each other playing rock paper scissors. Aria was winning by two games. "What the fuck is that?" Ezra asked, as Aria's fingers wiggled in the air. She chuckled,
"It's fucking fire." She replied, and the couple laughed. "Fire beats everything. It burns everything."
"That's a terrible argument." Aria chuckled.
"I know, but I think we should just stop this, because I know you, and you'll cheat for the rest of the game after I did it."
"Oh, how you know me." Ezra said, pulling Aria onto his lap, and kissing her lips.
"So, I see you've recovered from that headache." Aria countered, brushing his hair out of his eyes.
"Because you're the perfect medicine." Aria rolled her eyes, gently kissed Ezra's lips, and sauntered into the kitchen, flashing him a wink. Ezra groaned, and walked over to Aria who was starting to make a late breakfast. "You little tease," he whispered in her ear, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Oops."
"I didn't ask you, but did you sleep okay at Spencer's." Ezra asked.
"I only had three nightmares, and I only woke Emily since we were sleeping in the same bed, I said sorry, but she said it was fine and we have our fair share of nightmares." Aria replied, turning around to face her secret boyfriend. "You see it on the news, and you know it happens, but you never expect it to happen to you."
"It's scary. I never thought it would happen in Rosewood in the least."
"And I never thought a teacher and student relationship would happen in Rosewood."
"Touché Montgomery. Touché." Aria giggled, and pressed a palm on his bare chest. He wasn't dressed, and neither was Aria. He was wearing chequered pyjama pants, and Aria was wearing his Hollis shirt which was practically a dress on her. The doorbell rang, she hid behind the kitchen table, and he answered the door. A normal routine, which they used to do, and now probably they would carry that on. He flung open the door, and there was Mrs Welch standing there. He fought the urge to roll his eyes, as he caught her look at a quick glance at his chest. "Mrs Welch. What can I do for you?"
"Mr Hackett said we are doing a joint class project, so I'm here to drop off some papers, and to make a start." Mrs Welch started.
"How did you get my address?" He asked, weary she might be a stalker, wouldn't be that much of a surprise.
"Hackett gave it to me." Ezra nodded, and looked over to the kitchen where Aria was still hiding. He could see her little frame, biting her lip, obviously scared they would get caught. "Can I come in? So we can start discussing it."
"Now's not a great time," he looked back over to Aria who was sitting on the kitchen table, swinging her legs. "I've got company for the rest of the weekend." Aria smiled. "I should really get back to her, so bye." Ezra shut the door, and walked back to Aria. "I stand by my word, biggest cockblock ever."
"She was looking at your chest." Aria observed.
"Yeah, at my amazing six pack."
"Don't get too cocky Mr Fitz." He chuckled. "I've heard you've got company for the rest of the weekend." Aria said, smiling, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and legs around his waist, and Ezra wrapped his arms around her hips.
"Yeah, I do." Aria giggled, and attached her lips to his. "Move in with me." He whispered into the kiss. Aria pulled away shocked, and he looked into her hazel eyes, biting his lip.
"What?" Aria asked, not sure is she heard him right.
"Move in with me," Ezra said, running his hands up and down his girlfriend's arms. "Move in with me. I love you, and you practically live here anyways. So, will you?" She smiled, bit her lip, and nodded.
"Yeah, I'll move in with you." Aria said, nodding her head. He chuckled, and kissed her lips. She opened her mouth slightly, and his tongue slipped into her mouth, she giggled.
…
"Hey Mum, can I come over to your apartment?" Aria asked, down the phone.
"Yeah, it's a Sunday though, are you sure you want to come over today?" Ella replied.
"Yeah, I'd like to see you."
…
"You know Ezra's my teacher again." Aria said, and Ella nodded.
"Are you okay with that?"
"Yeah, um, can you promise not to tell anyone? Not even Zach." Ella nodded again. "We're giving it another go."
"Oh right," Ella processed it. "Are you sure about that?"
"Yeah, I am, I love him, and I know Malcolm will get in the way, but he's been really great through everything."
"Through what?"
"You know I was dating that guy called Jake, well one day, he forced me to…" Aria trailed off, looking at her lap.
"He forced you to what Aria?"
"He raped me."
"Oh sweetie…" Ella started, wrapped her arms around her now sobbing daughter. After twenty minutes of sobbing Aria had calmed down, yet she was still crying, and Ella was still holding her. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was scared," Aria whispered, curling up her legs. "I didn't want people to know, and I know you would tell Dad, and he'd twist it around and somehow blame Ezra." Ella laughed.
"That probably would happen, who else knows?"
"Ezra and just the girls know."
"Are you seeing a therapist, I think it would be good."
"I'm already seeing one, I'm having nightmares every night, Ezra offered the idea, and I said yeah."
"Wow, I thought you'd be stubborn."
"I wanted to get help, so, yeah."
"What's been going on with you and Ezra? I thought you guys would kinda be done until graduation."
"I guess we just missed each other. I don't know."
"Do you think it's going to be easier?"
"Simpler, yes. Easier, I'm not sure. I mean I love his apartment, and who knows but it might be good for us to actually go back to where we started, but with his son in the way, it might not be easier, but we might get through this, and I really want too."
"I'm worried about you Aria, you keep bottling things up, and why didn't you tell me everything sooner?"
"I don't know, I'm going off to college in a few months, and I feel like I need to grow up, and not running to you with every single problem."
"Aria, this isn't stubbing your pinkie toe on a piece of furniture. This is some big stuff."
"I know, but I feel like I need to grow up. I need to learn to be a grown-up."
"I know, but you'll always be my baby girl."
…
"How was your Mum's?" Ezra asked, as his girlfriend let herself into the apartment.
"It was good, we talked about college, and Jake, and you, the girls." Aria replied, smiling.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"No, but are you okay with being in Rosewood, are you sure you don't want to get away. Get away from everything." Aria's phone beeped, and she checked it. You can't get away from everything –A. "You okay?"
"Fine."
"Aria, was it…"
"Yes, but you are no way near are you getting involved. I need to keep you safe."
"Yeah, and I need to keep you safe. So, don't go and protect me," Ezra chuckled.
"Girls usually ask for the guy to protect them."
"Yes, but do they get stalked. Listen, I can't have you hurt, especially when you're my teacher, and I can't visit you. Hanna wanted to protect Caleb, he came with us once, and he got shot."
"But he got better."
"What if he didn't," he was silent for a moment, chewing his lip. "I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be a bitch, it's just this is some pretty messed up deep shit with a person or people not afraid to kill people Ezra. They may have killed Alison. They killed Wilden, Garrett, and Ian." Ezra gently kissed her forehead. "These are people who don't care about us, all they care is about getting us dead. Everyone who saw Ali that night is ending up dead and soon it's going to be us."
"Don't say that, please don't say that, I can't live without you," Ezra whispered pulling Aria in for a hug.
"I can't live without you too, that's why you can't get involved."
"Alright, just promise me something. Don't die." Aria chuckled.
"What a way to be bland, babe."
"What you can't die, who else would look at my abs."
"Mrs Welch."
"Not funny, Miss Montgomery." He replied, lifting her up by the bottom of her thighs. She squealed, and wrapped her arms around his neck instantly kissing his lips. He brought her over to the sink, and placed her on the edge. "I love you, so much."
"I love you too, so much," she murmured, and opened her mouth slightly to let his tongue in. She smiled as his hand run up and down her thigh.
Please give me ideas, I'm stuck on what to do next, and for some reason this was really hard to write. Review please.
Bye dolls
