Aria paced around the room. It was the day after she'd seen Ezra on Tv with Nicole. He had texted her and said he'd be coming home today but she hadn't answered. She didn't want to talk on the phone. She needed to talk to him face to face. The doorknob moved as Ezra turned it on the other side. Aria silently prepared herself for this conversation, biting her nails in the process.
"Hey Aria" He calls, dropping his suitcase onto the ground by the door and wrapping his arms around her.
Aria wanted to be straight forward right away. She didn't want to drag on this conversation.
"I saw you and Nicole on Tv" She says and Ezra sighs.
"Ar.." He starts but she cut him off.
"I don't want excuses. I just want to know if you regret kissing Nicole. Was it a mistake?"
"No" He replies.
"Oh my gosh" She runs her hands through her hair. "I can't believe it. I love you! We're engaged!"
"I'm not going to sit here and say kissing Nicole was a mistake" He replies and she shakes her head.
"So you wanted to kiss Nicole? How about you just go marry her?!" She shouts, running towards the door but Ezra stops her by grabbing her arm and swinging her back around to face him.
"No, Aria. Kissing Nicole wasn't a mistake. It was closure. It was goodbye. Goodbye forever" He says.
"What?" She asks
"I beat myself up ever since she went missing. We left on bad terms and i just needed to say goodbye. In order to start our future together, I needed that weight lifted off my shoulders"
"So you still want to marry me?" Aria asks and Ezra laughs.
"Of course I want to marry you! Aria you're the love of my life" Ezra says which causes a weight to lift off Aria's shoulders. "Aria I've loved you since you were in high school and I'm more in love with you now and it continues to grow every single day. Like I said Aria, I want you in my life. For the rest of my life and I don't ever want to let you go"
A big smile crosses Aria's face as she jumps into Ezra's arms and wraps her arms around his shoulders.
"Forgive me?" He asks but was interrupted by Aria's lips smashing onto his.
"Does this answer your question?" She smirks.
