It was past noon when either of the awoke the next morning. Aria woke up first, trying to stretch out the best she could from within Ezra's grasp. He had one arm hooked behind her thighs, whilst the other was around her waist, and he didn't look like he was moving anytime soon.
The last week was a blur, totally wiped out in there opinion and they had both agreed never to speak of it again. Aria, was the happiest about this. Angry Ezra scared her, to a great extent. It was as though he wasn't himself. He was someone else.
After a few minutes of running her fingertips along Ezra's shoulders beneath the shirt, she managed to slowly unlace herself from his grip, and slip from the sofa.
Obviously it was too late for breakfast, so she opted on making something a little more dinner time.
She quickly made a peanut butter sandwich, and pulled herself up onto the counter, childishly swinging her legs back and forth. Aria wanted to do something today, not just stay locked up in the apartment like they usually would. She wanted to do something couply. Not go to a restaurant an hour away. That wasn't it. Something romantic and mushy, and them.
Her mind began rolling with thoughts of what they would do, where they would go.
But she couldn't decide on just one thing, and Ezra hadn't even agreed to it yet.
Ezra was more of the mushy type, and would rather stay curled up with Aria in bed watching a movie. It was cliché, and yes they both loved it; but they did that everyday.
It was her boyfriend stirring on the couch that pulled her from her thoughts, and she couldn't help but let out a small giggle as he tried to search for her, reaching out at nothing.
"Why aren't you here?" Ezra muttered lazily, continuing to reach out, to find something that he could hold in his arms.
"It's half twelve, I couldn't lay there all day and wait for you to wake up, could I?" Ezra opened his eyes then, emitting a groan as he turned to lay on his back.
"Come here.." He whined, stretching his arms out in her direction. Aria slipped from the counter, quickly making her way towards the couch to take a seat beside him.
"Good morning, or should I say afternoon-Lazy butt." She joked, brushing his hair in different directions.
"Shush, I haven't been sleeping much over these past few days."
"I know, I'm kidding."
"Now give me a kiss, a good one." Aria leant down to meet Ezra's lips, pressing a sweet and lingering kiss to it. She tried to pull back, but Ezra but down on her bottom lip, muttering against them. "Your lips taste like peanut butter..." Ezra began, running his tongue along his bottom lip.
"That may be because I had a peanut butter sandwich. I didn't think you liked it." He shook his head, raising a finger to run it along her lips, before placing his finger in his mouth.
"Kiss me again" Ezra demanded, in which Aria kissed him without hesitation. "Okay, I think the peanut butters all gone." She shook her head in amusement, pulling away so that she could look at him better. "What're we doing today?"
"I was thinking about that a minute ago, I want to do something coupley today." Aria said, nodding with her words.
"Like what exactly? Watch old movies?"
"No. I mean like go out, so something coupley. Stuff that normal couples do." She searched for his hands, intertwining his with her own before continuing to speak. "I didn't mean it like that. We're normal, I just.-" Ezra cut Aria off by squeezing her hand, shaking his head.
"I'll think of something, leave it with me." He sat up, scooting closer to her so he could rest his head on her shoulder with a light groan. He was still tired, for some reason and felt like he was still asleep.
"You need to wake up first though, if we want to do anything." Aria joked, her tone laced with sarcasm. He made no attempt to move, instead just wrapped an arm around her waist, whilst his other hand traced patterns along her shoulder.
She allowed him stay like that for a few moments, before her shoulder began to feel numb. "I need to shower, you need to budge." Ezra reluctantly moved from his position, dropping back down on to the couch. It was only after a minute that he shot back up again, glancing around.
"Wait, you're showering? I'm coming."
"No... Just stay there and wait."
Of course, Ezra didn't just stay there and wait. He waited for a moment, until she was almost out of sight before jumping up, and running towards the bathroom door. It was slammed shut in his face.
"Aria, come on..." He pleaded, knocking on the door. It took less than a minute for the door to open again, and she grasped him by the shirt, dragging him inside.
Ezra didn't tell Aria what he had planned, it was some sort of surprise.
"You know I hate surprises... They suck. Just tell me where we're going." It was almost 11, and Aria was getting slightly aggravated as to why it was so late.
"We're going out, stop moaning. You'll get to know in a minute." Ezra rolled his eyes, slipping his phone into his back pocket before stretching out a hand. "So are you coming?" With a groan, she nodded, taking his hand in her own.
Ezra led his girlfriend along the sidewalk, until they reached the park. It was late, so it was empty apart from the few odd people dotted about here and there.
"We come to the park all the time, what's this?" Aria questioned impatiently, folding her arms tightly over her chest. "It's cold, and I'm tired."
"Shush. Just. Shush." Ezra cut in, pulling his phone from his back pocket to put it on shuffle. He then placed it down on the floor, turning it up to full volume. "Now, come here."
Aria was beyond confused. She had no idea what he was going on about, this was crazy.
"What?"
"This is me being romantic, so just come here." Aria sludged towards Ezra, and he pulled her against him, placing his hands on her waist. She just stood still. "You know, usually when the music plays you're supposed to dance, not stand there."
"Dancing?" Aria questioned with a small smirk, slipping her arms up and around his neck. She automatically began swaying from side to side with the music, following Ezra's lead. She had to admit, he was a good dancer himself.
"I told you; Hopeless romantic."
"Thank you, for tonight." Aria said with a wide grin, swinging both of their hands back and forth as they walked. It must have been at least 2am, and neither wanted to ruin the moment but eventually Ezra's phone died, and they realised it wasn't best to stay out all night.
"It wasn't a problem, I really enjoyed being able to go out with you like that." Ezra replied, pulling her towards him as they reached the top of the stairs. He went to pull out his key, but the door was open already.
"You did lock the door, didn't you?" She questioned, pushing the door open a fraction. Ezra pulled at her arm, tugging her backwards, before walking ahead of her.
The apartment was untouched, except the TV was playing loudly, volume turned to full. "What is it? The black and white movie?"
Ezra didn't say a word as he caught sight of what was on the screen.
"No, don't. Just stay there, Aria." The slight break in his voice panicked Aria, and only made her step forward to see what was on the screen.
"I-Is that...?" She whispered, bringing her hands to cover her mouth as she let out a small sob. Ezra only nodded, searching for the remote to turn off what was on the screen. "It's me and Wes... That's me and Wesley.."
