Luke's POV

My heart skipped a beat. For a second she held her breath. But then she pushed a little away so she could look at me. Her beautiful green eyes looked deep into mine. I started to lean in and she did the same. My eyes closed and I pressed my lips gently against hers. Her hands, which just had laid against my chest, slowly slid around my neck. Her touch made me feel warm, just like the kiss. Our lips moved perfectly in sync. My arms were around her waist, gently pressing her closer to me. I longed for her touch, her lips, her love... her. It felt like our lips were made for each other, like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly. Now I understand why movie kisses always look so perfect, I thought. Because it is perfect, passionate, love, everything. I could feel her love and joy. But I couldn't believe this was happening and I wished it never stopped. All of the sudden she pushed me away. My eyes shot open. Aria held her hands over her mouth and looked scared and confused. 'Oh my god! I shouldn't have done this. I'm so stupid. Think before you do something!' She said upset to herself as she moved away from me and turned her head. 'What's wrong?' Was the only thing I could say. What happened? I carefully moved a little closer to her and put my hand on her shoulder. 'I'm sorry, I thought you wanted it too.' I said, my breath stuck in my throat. I started to panic from inside. What have I done?! Her body trembled and she stood up. I quickly did the same and tried to turn her around to face me. 'What's going on?!' I asked panicky. I managed to turn her to me. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she tried to look away from me. 'Tell me... please.' I begged her. She didn't answer. This was killing me. I couldn't believe that I just made her this upset. 'Please, look at me.' I begged again. I felt tears coming but I didn't want to cry. The way Aria looked at me was heartbreaking. All these emotions... I've never felt so many at the same time. 'Please.' I wispered. I put my hands on her cheeks and slowly turned her face so could see her eyes. 'Tell me... Please.' It was quiet for a moment. We just stared at each other without saying anything. She was still crying but she didn't look away. With my thumb, I wiped her tears away. Her body was still shaking as she opened her mouth. 'I- I... He-h-he... it's...' She stuttered. 'Shhhh, take it easy. Catch a breath.' I said, trying to calm her down. She breathed deeply in and out. 'It's a long story' She finally said. 'It all started a year ago. With Austin...'

'And... since then I've always been afraid to fall in love again.' Aria finished. I stayed silent so I could think for a moment. Now I understand.This was probably what Megan wanted to warn me about, I thought. 'This is... I... I would never ever do such at thing to you.' I promised her. This was all so messed up! How could Austin treat her like that!? I wanted to take her in my arms and tell her it's alright, that i'm here for her, that she's safe with me. But I didn't know if she wanted me to. She wiped her tears away with the sleeve of her jacket. To see her like this was horrible. I couldn't restrain myself anymore so I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight. Surprisingly she pressed herself against me. So we stood there for a while until she pulled away to face me. 'Luke, I really like you. More than I've ever loved anyone. And that's why I'm so afraid.' She whispered. 'I don't want to lose you.... I.... I think I need some time... To figure things out.' A short silence followed. 'Can you give me time?' She asked quietly. I looked deep into her eyes and nodded.
