Just Cant Stay Away ( ezria fanfiction)

Your late, Ms......

I still haven't left the bar. I've been sitting in my car, which is still in the parking lot. Knowing that Holden is at home waiting for me makes me want to stay here even more. I just don't want to be with anyone right now. To many things are clouding my head. One thing I want to know for sure is, why is Ezra with Simone? He told me he wasn't interested in her. All they have in common is books, poetry, and art. Then it dawns on me. Simone is the older version of me. But Ezra and I have so much more. Correction, we had so much more. I dont think I can be in the same city as him, especially if I know that he isn't here for me. My phone rings, pulling me out of my thoughts. It's Tori.

"Hello?"
"Aria, where the hell are you?! Class starts in two minutes. Get your ass here!" I stay silent for a few seconds. I look at my car radio. It's 11:28.

"Shit", I whisper. Why do I keep spacing out like that?
"Yeah. Shit is right. You're going to be late. ON THE FIRST DAY!" She yells that last part.

"Umm, I'm on my way. Just save me a seat. I'll be there in 10."
"Make it 5. The teacher is really hot", she says. Where have I heard that before?

Since I was already on campus, I made it to the lecture hall in 6 minutes. Before I walk in, I stop and take a breath. I hope the Professor, whoever it is, isn't too mad. Opening the door, everyone turns to look at me, except the professor. I see Tori waving her hand at me. Taking my seat, I get out my laptop and keep my head down.

"Late on the first day, Ms." The Professor pauses. I look up. Oh no.
"Aria," he whispers, but everyone hears him. The lecture hall is dead silent. Now everyone is staring at him.

"Sorry, Professor Fitz. It won't happen again," I say. Ezra finally stops staring at me and begins talking about Thomas Hardy. I don't know why, but I immediately blame Spencer for this. She told me that there was no way he was going to be my professor. She gave me hope. But here I am. Once again, I'm sitting in a chair and being taught by the one and only Ezra Fitz. I watch him as he asks and answers questions.

Professor Fitz. Why does that make him even hotter? Oh my, I truly do miss him. I just can't deny it anymore. But its just so wrong. He never loved you. He used you. You can't trust him. You have Holden know. My subconscious yells at me. She's right. He hurt me, and I moved on. Holden is a good guy and I need to stop taking him for granted. Tori starts shaking my arm, pulling me out of my thoughts. Ok, I've got to stop blacking out or I'm guaranteed to fail.
"Are you ok, Ar? Class is over in like 20 seconds, and you've been silent the whole time," She whispers. I just nod and put away my laptop. When Ezra dismisses us, I grab Tori by her arm and try and pull her towards the exit. Since she refuses to leave without Jake, her boyriend, I wait with her. When he reaches us, we begin to exit. I don't want to be stuck in this room with Ezra any longer than I have to.

"Ms. Montgomery, can I talk to you for a moment?" We all stop walking. Tori and I turn to face him.
"Now isn't a good time," I say to him.
"Aria, I just want to talk." He says as I turn back around and continue walking.
"Professor, now really isnt a goo-" He cuts me off.
"Pookie Bear," he says. On cue, I turn around, walk up to him, and punch his right shoulder. He laughs. And it's contagious.

I turn back to Tori and Jake. "I'll catch up with you guys later," I say. They leave the lecture hall. Leaving Ezra and I alone.

"That hurt, you know," he says laughing. I giggle, and he frowns.
"What's wrong?" He slowly moves closer towards me, closing the very small gap of space that was between us. He reaches up and put his hand on the side of my face. I lean my head into his hand. This can't be happening.
"Aria, I've missed your laugh. I've missed you." My eyes fill up with tears. My brain starts working again, and I push his hand away. My tears begin to fall.

"Ezra, no. I can't do this. You've hurt me bad enough already. Now, what did you want to talk about?" I say. Im trying my best not to show him how vulnerable I am right now. He stares back at me as if my words wounded him. they wounded me too, but this is how it has to be.
"I just wanted to know if you accept my offer?" He keeps his head down as he speaks.Wiping away my tears, I grab his hand.

"I'd love to have coffee with you," I smile up at him. He squeezes my hand and rubs my ring finger. I gently pull away and grab my bag. "I have to go. We can have coffee tomorrow around 9?" I ask. Ezra just nods. He looks defeated, and I just can't understand why. So, I try to difuse the problem. Slowly, I grab his hand and move closer to him.
"See you later, Professor Fitz," I whsiper in his ear and plant a kiss on his cheek. I begin to walk away, but Ezra pulls me back into a deep, passionate kiss. My hands tug on his hair as he wraps his arms around my waist. Tears start rolling down my face as I pour out my feelings into this kiss. Pulling away, I begin to cry even harder. I look into his eyes, smile, and walk out of the lecture hall.

Once I'm out the door, I just stand there. 'Ezra kissed me. Ezra kissed me' is all that I can think about. Walking to my car, my phone beeps. It's a text message from a restricted number. I hesitate to open it.

*Makeout sessions with the teacher, Aria? Do you ever learn? Just remember, if you kiss, I tell.
