Under a spell

Chapter three

"I'll be right there." Natalie said as she closed the door leaving Ezra and I together. Alone.

"So..."

"Why did you come here?"

"I should leave..." I said at the same time.

"Aria? What's wrong?"

I completely lost it and started sobbing.

"After we broke up, I went to college. Same college that Noel Kahn went to. We began talking again and then we started dating again. He was the worst. He treated me like nothing. He always come home late from drinking and hanging out with other girls-"

Suddenly Ezra pulled me into a big comforting hug.

"I'm so sorry. I should've fought for you."

"I'm sorry I pushed you away." I said into his chest.

He lifted my head to look at him.

"I love you Aria. I always have and I always will."

"What about Natalie?"

"We've been dating for about three years. I proposed a couple months ago. But something felt off. She didn't feel like 'the one' for me, that was always you."

"I don't want to destroy your relationship." I said pulling away.

"It's long gone." He said turning my head, placing a kiss to my lips. He slowly pulled away and looked at me to see if it was alright to continue.

He could practically see the lust in my eyes as he leaned in for another kiss.

I felt him slowly pick me up and bring me over to his bed. He plopped me down onto  his mattress throwing his shirt off. I sank into the feathery pillows as he undressed me too.

Line break.

I woke up reliving last nights tendered moments. I turned my side to find Ezra gone.

A million thoughts raced through my head, was it a one night stand? Where is he?

I sat up fixing my hair, I heard a voice from the hall way.

I swung my feet around the side of the bed,  shivering as my left foot touched the icy floor.

I reached down for Ezra's shirt and stood up.

Humming 'Happiness' by 'The Fray' as I walked over to the kitchen looking for something to eat.

"B26?" I heard spinning around with a smile taking over my whole face.

"What was that about?" I asked tracing his jawline referring to his conversation outside.

"Umm." He started running his hand through his hair.

"I called it off with Natalie. I always wanted to call it of but I just couldn't. It seemed every time I tried something went wrong. Until this morning." He said bringing me closer.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin things-" I started.

"I told you, Aria, it wasn't working. Even before you came back. I love you Aria, with all my heart."

A tear fell down my cheek as I whispered I'm sorry over and over again.

"How did she take the news?" I asked as he wiped a tear off my cheek.

"She told me she had something to confess, that's she's been cheating on me."

My mouth dropped open.

I want to kill her.

I started stuttering not knowing what to say when Ezra put his finger to my lips, telling me not to worry about it. They just weren't right for each other.
