Taking a cruise from Rosewood, Pennsylvania, to Los Angeles, California wasn't exactly something Aria Montgomery had planned to do with her summer fresh out of college. Yet her friends Emily and Hanna persuaded her into going on it with them, to go check out the city with them for an adventure, just the four of them, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer, before they all had to start working their dream jobs. She was going to London, England to pursue her dream of becoming a photographer or a book editor, and since she knew she wasn't going to be seeing much of them after the summer, she agreed.
They were about a day into the 21-day trip, and Aria had decided to get some sun while her friends were sightseeing. She was enjoying her sunbathing when someone accidentally blocked her sun. This irritated her and she took off her sunglasses and opened her mouth to ask whoever was blocking her sun to kindly get their ass out of her way. Unfortunately, no words came out of her lips since her words became stuck in her throat and her voice was nowhere to be found. She gawked at someone she once knew, someone she didn't expect to ever see again. He had definitely grown up, looking so handsome wearing navy blue swimming trunks and dripping wet. He ran a hand through his wet blond hair and looked at her with piercing green eyes.
Jason DiLaurentis looked down at her, which was either a mistake or the best thing he had ever done because she took his breath away. Laying there was someone he had never thought he would ever see again, wearing a pretty purple bikini and a sexy body looking like the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on.
He tried to look unaffected and cordial as he gave her one of his rare charming smiles. "Hey, Aria. Fancy seeing you here."
Aria immediately changed her persona to look more accommodating and tried to resist the urge to stare at his body.
"Nice abs," she blurted and mentally smacked herself for being so tactless. "I...I...mean, Jason. It's been years."
Jason smiled a small smile at her confession and tried not to show he was flattered. He watched her turn a tinge of red and at that moment, he couldn't stop staring at her. She sure has grown into herself.
"Nice tan," he joked and they both shared a laugh.
"So, uh, Aria, we should catch up, join me for dinner?" Jason asked after their moment of fun. Aria seemed to consider his invitation for a while.
"Sure," she answered with a sweet smile.
20 Days Later...
Over the course of three weeks, Aria and Jason had grown unbelievably close and had fallen in love with each other that Aria had been reconsidering moving to London and considering staying in LA with her new boyfriend.
The two were laying together the day before the cruise ended on her bed. They had woken up a little while ago and just finished their breakfast. Jason had been awfully quiet all morning.
Aria looked at him, pushing her hand through his dirty blond hair, giving him a smile. "Something on your mind?"
Jason looked at her and smiled back. He knew he couldn't live without her. Ever. He wanted her for the rest of his life. He pulled her close to him and gave her a kiss. "You, as always."
She laughed, kissing him back. "What about me?" Her eyes sparkled with the love she had for him. She could really see a future with him.
He looked into her eyes, smiling shyly. "About how I want to marry you...today."
Aria's eyes doubled in size at the statement. "Are you serious?" She asked in astonishment, getting a grin and nod in response. Of course, she wanted to marry him too. "But I have nothing to wear."
Jason stared at her, smiling brightly. "Is that a yes?"
"Well, duh!" Aria laughed, jumping out of bed and rushing to her half-made suitcase. She started rummaging through them, trying to find something proper to wear. It was her wedding day!
Jason chuckled as he watched her, the love for her shining in his eyes.
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you can adore
The priest looked at the young couple then gave the groom permission to kiss his bride. Jason leaned in looking straight into Aria's eyes, getting lost in those deep brown orbs. She unwaveringly looked back at him with as much intensity in her gaze as his as he got closer and closer to her pink lips.
Their lips were now only millimetres apart and both could feel their breaths mixing together then suddenly they entered a world of bliss as their lips met in a fiery kiss that sealed their love for one another.
Love is all that I can give you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
The golden double doors leading to the dining room were opened and the other guests on the cruise started showering the newlyweds with white flower petals. Jason and Aria walked through and bowed their heads and smiled and waved as others congratulated the newlyweds.
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone you can adore
There was a firework display and the couple watched it from the port side of the ship. They spent half the time making out and the other half watching the grandeur of the display. Jason watched Aria snuggle into his arms and this prompted him to hold her tighter as he whispered words of love into her ear and she smiled, leaned up and kissed him again.
Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
The couple went back to their reserved seats right after the fireworks and were still cuddling when a waiter approached them and offered them a wine bottle with the words 'where dreams have no end.'
Dinner was scrumptious and the couple spent their time feeding each other and it was a very sweet sight. They were the epitome of the perfect couple in love.
After dinner the two were in the middle of the dance floor holding each other close and slowly swaying their hips since the music was boogie. The couple were lost in their own world and with the exception of a twirl or tow, they were content being in each other's arms and Aria's head on Jason's shoulder.
They went back to their seats right after dancing and a photographer came up to them holding a vintage camera. She asked if they wanted a picture and both nodded their heads eagerly. The photographer asked them to pose and the couple faced each other and started leaning in as if they were about to kiss. The photo was shot as the fireworks outside sparkled in their bright colours.
It was the year 2005 aboard the SS Seabourn II when the nuptial of Jason and Aria DiLaurentis happened. The memory of it was printed on the cruise album; that photograph with Jason and Aria looking at each other with smiles on their lips and live shining through their eyes.
