It's morning and the sunlight is shining down on them through the glass window. This causes Aria to stir in her sleep. She began to wake.
Aria pov
I turned and rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand, for a second, I didn't know where I was and turned on my back, I looked under the sheet and noticed I wasn't wearing anything. It was at this point I felt an arm wrapped around my waist. I tilted my head very slowly and saw his face, it was Ezra, I had slept with him. I don't know if I am happy about this but then the conversion we had last night came across my mind so I decided to be happy, so I rested back on my side, tucked myself into him and shut my eyes.
Then I quickly opened my eyes again and realised the time 7:26, if I didnt leave now, I would be late for school.
I rose up, which caused Ezra to wake, I covered myself up with the sheet
"Holy shit! I'm gonna be late for school." I shouted, wandering around the room, trying to find my clothes.
"Here's your shirt." Ezra said while handing me the top.
"I can't wear the same thing I wore yesterday, people will think something's up!"
"To my recollection, something was up."
"Ugh!" I moaned and laughed at the same time.
"Here, take my shirt, just wear your belt with it."
"Thanks. Um I'll come over later to get my stuff, I'll go to the desk now to pay. Bye." I blew him a kiss and left.
I was about halfway down the corridor when I walked back to the room.
"I forgot something."
"What?" He asked
I walked over to him and grabbed his face,then gave him a chaste kiss. "Thank you for helping me." I say, and I meant it.
And I left to pay the guy, got in my car and drove to school.
At school, in the yard. Hanna, Emily, Spencer and Alison are all sitting, discussing Aria's whereabouts when they see her suddenly emerge, looked very dishevelled.
"And where the hell have you been?" Hanna exclaimed, as I sat down.
"What do you mean." trying to avoid their stares.
"Oh please Aria, we know you asked Spencer to cover for you, come on, what's the big secret?"
"Spencer!" I shouted "What part of don't tell the other girls did you not get?"
"Sorry." Spencer said, whilst rolling her eyes.
"So where were you then?" Hanna pestered
"No where."
"Oh come on Aria, your hair is a mess, you smell like a dude, and you're wearing a guys shirt, and oh my god, what is that," She reached out her hand and brushed away my hair to reveal a giant red mark "A HICKEY?!" Hanna squealed.
"WHAT? Where?" I said, desperately searching through my bag, trying to find a mirror and cover up.
"Shit, I can't go into English like this, my mom is teaching!" I say while looking at the mark
"Holy crap, who did that, its huge!" Alison asked, pointing to the hickey.
"Uh..." trying to think of an excuse
"OH MY GOD, EZRA?" Hanna shouted "YOU'RE BACK TOGETHER?"
Shit. Well I can't deny it now.
"Fine, yes, I was with Ezra." All of their mouths dropped
"He did that?" Emily said "Wow."
"Ugh, now will you please excuse me while I go to the bathroom to cover this up?" And I left.
After school, at Ezra's apartment. Aria has just walked in
"Hey." Ezra said, getting up and walking over to kiss me, I kiss him back and then let go.
"Look," I turned my head and lifted it up so he could get a clear view of the lovely mark he left me "look at this, I had to face my mother with this."
He stifled a laugh.
"Hey!" I pushed his shoulder "It's not funny, the girls were interrogating me with questions the whole morning."
"I'm sorry, but it leaves a warning sign to all those horny teenage boys that you are very much taken." He said and leaned down to make the already noticeable hickey, even bigger than before. I let out a small moan.
"Hey guess what?" He mumbled on my skin.
"What?" I pulled back.
"I got a job."
"Oh my god, that's fantastic!" I hugged him tight. After a few moments I let go.
"Where?"
"Hollis."
"What?"
"Ye, your dad came to me during the day and told me that there was a job available there if I wanted it"
"Wait, my dad. The same guy who got you got you fired from there in the first place?"
"Surprisingly yes."
"Oh, so when do you start?"
"Monday, which means I have one whole week of not being tied down to a job."
"Wow, again, professor Fitz, I like the sound of that." I say, whilst running my finger along his chest. I stand up on my toes and kiss him. We stay like this for a few minutes, my fingers in his hair and his hands roaming my body. I have missed this feeling he gives me.
We start to walk backwards, towards his bed. Once my legs hit the end of the bed, Ezra lifts me up and throws me on the bed, I start laughing. He gets onto the bed and crawls to me, and we start our heated make out session once again and I lay down on the mattress and he smothers me with kisses all over my body. We start to undress each other and the events of last night re occurred.
Ezra wasn't yet a professor however, I do admit to screaming out the name 'professor Fitz' a couple of times that afternoon, and evening. And I once again came into school, smelling like a dude, dressed like a dude and showing another matching hickey on the other side of my neck.
Tuesday Morning. In the school yard with Hanna, Emily, Alison and Spencer. Aria again walks in with Ezra's shirt.
"Again, seriously?" Emily asked as I sat down.
"Don't." I gave a serious look to Hanna as I knew she was going to say something inappropriate.
"Another one?!" Spencer said, pointing to my neck of awful cover up, you could still see the red marks.
"Wow, Fitz really likes to mark his territory." Hanna mocks. Much to my surprise, she did.
"You guys suck." I sarcastically say and simultaneously point my folder at the girls.
"Ye and apparently so does Ezra, and I'm guessing...you do too." Hanna smirks. My eyes bulge out my head at her comment.
"HANNA!" said in unison by the other girls.
I get up and walk away to save the rest of my dignity.
After school, at Ezra's apartment. Aria comes in.
"Hey." I say, walking over to him to give him a peck on the lips.
"Hey."
I lifted and tilted my head "Oh, thank you, by the way for another mark. Because of this," pointing to the mark "I was once again the victim to Hanna and her 'inappropriateness'."
"I'm sorry, but it sure does look charming on you."
And we began to kiss again. He reached for the hem of my top.
I pulled away and lifted my index finger. "No way, not again, that'll we the third time this week coming into school smelling like you and wearing your shirt, not to mention even more mockery from Hanna, yesterday and today she made fun of me, who knows what she will say if I come in with your shirt and cologne again."
He smirked and let go of me, gave me a quick kiss and went round to the sofa. He sat down and patted the cushion next to him. As I came closer to him, he grabbed my hands and pulled me down.
"So, what you want to do?"
"I know, hang on." I got up and went over to his movie collection. "Voila!"
"Ah, 'It Happened One Night'. Nice choice."
I put the movie in and made some popcorn, we snuggled for the rest of the night.
