(ARIA POV)


It was Ezra and I's last day in Hawaii and we intended to make the most of it. To start off the day we went to the complementary breakfast in our hotel. We grabbed a table and began to scarf up our food.

"On a scale of one to ten how much are you enjoying this trip?" Ezra asked me smirking.

"50000!" I shouted with a mouth full of food. Ezra started to laugh.

"Don't choke!" He said still laughing. I blushed and wiped the food off my mouth, took a swig of water and smiled.

"So, what's on the agenda today?" I asked curiously.

"Hmm, well there is a poetry reading tonight in the ballroom of this hotel, if your up for that." Ezra said grabbing my hand across the table.

"Oh, Yeah! I love poetry readings. What time?" I asked.

"Around 11:00," He checked his watch "It's 10:45 right now so we might want to hurry." Ezra stated standing up and taking our plates to the trash can. I followed him and grabbed his hand.

Once we arrived to the poetry reading there were a bunch of geeky people bunched around the stage.

"Lets grab a seat." I said leading us over to open seats. As soon as we sat down the reading started, a young guy jumped on stage and began to speak into the microphone in front of him.

"Hey fellow poetry lovers!" He said enthusiastically. A few laughs escaped the audience. He clapped his hands together "So tonight we have some great poets and their very excited to be here, so lets give it up for the first poet tonight David Clayton!" The audience clapped and a young guy with scrappy brown hair, a bright big smile and large, black geek glasses walked on stage. He was wearing a muscle t-shit, and had the type of body where you were 99.9% sure he had a six pack.

"Hey guys so the first poem I will be reading tonight is called Fire and Ice." He closed his eyes, cleared his throat and began.

"My love is like to ice, and I to fire:

How comes it then that this her cold so great

Is not dissolved through my so hot desire,

But harder grows the more I her entreat?

Or how comes it that my exceeding heat

Is not allayed by her heart-frozen cold,

But that I burn much more in boiling sweat,

And feel my flames augmented manifold?

What more miraculous thing may be told,

That fire, which all things melts, should harden ice,

And ice, which is congeal's with senseless cold,

Should kindle fire by wonderful device?

Such is the power of love in gentle mind,

That it can alter all the course of kind."

He slowly opened his eyes and the audience erupted into screams and cheers.

"Wahoo!" I yelled. Ezra clapped loudly and cheered.

"Now that. That was incredible!" I said.

"You got that right, better than anything the brew ever puts on." I laughed and gave him a quick kiss. A thought sundenly popped into my head.

" What time does our plane leave today?" I asked.

"At 5:00..." He said sadly.

"Ezra, that's in 4 hours we need to get going so we can get packed and checked out of the hotel and then check in to the airport."

"I know, but I don't want to leave." He said pouting like a 3 year old.

"Me neither, but I also don't want to go through the trouble of rescheduling our flight." I stated.

"Ugh fine come on" He said picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder.

"Ezra!" I laughed while kicking my legs, but he wouldn't budge. "Ya know what fine. At least I don't have to walk." I said.

"Yup." he said popping the p'.

"Thank you so much for an unforgettable expierence." I said wrapping my arms around his shoulders and kissing him with all the love I had stored in me.

"Anything for the woman I love most in this world, so much,in fact, that I want to spend the rest of my life with her." Ezra said smiling boyishly. My heart skipped a beat knowing what he was about to say. He knelled down on one knee and opened a small box to reveal a diamond ring shimmering in the sunlight.

"Aria Montgomery, will you marry me?"

"Yes!" I screamed jumping into his strong arms. We both inhaled a deep breath the moment our lips meet, we kissed fiercely while some people cheered and clapped behind us. I broke away from his lips and looked him in the eyes.

"I am more than ready to spend the rest of my life with you." I said. He replied by kissing me back and slipping the beautiful ring onto my finger.
