After all these years

Chapter Eighteen

Ezra's POV
"No..." Aria led on.

"But?" I asked.

"It might've came across my mind once or twice before Vicky took me in. I was struggling with a baby on the way." Aria breathed.

"I'm glad you're okay." I said as I hugged her.

"You ready for dinner?" I asked.

"Yes and to see Maddie." Aria smiled.

I stopped waking for a second

"Aria you sure?" I asked.

"Yes I miss her." Aria said with her head down.

"She misses you." I told her.

"How about we take a rain check on dinner and I take you to see your daughter?" I asked.

"I'd love that!" Aria squealed.

"Speaking of Maddie where is she?!" Aria yelled.

"Relax she's with Emily." I laughed.

"Let's go get her." Aria said as she grabbed my hand.

"I've miss this." I said as I closed the door behind her.

I sat down inside my car and started the car as Aria said "Me too."

As a automatic reflex I turned Aria's head
towards mine and placed my lips against her.

"I'm so sorry." I said as I pulled away.

Regular POV

After a brief silence Aria said "I'm not."

Aria looked at Ezra as he pulled up to a red light. Aria moved closer and closer to Ezra, finally their lips touching. Once their lips touch it was like fireworks went off.

It went from a peck on the lips to passionately making out until someone beeped their horn at Ezra because the light turned green.

"I win." Aria laughed as she pulled away and bit her lip.

Once Aria and Ezra finally reached Ezra's apartment Aria got so nervous.

Why am I so nervous I'm just seeing my daughter? Aria thought.

Ezra could tell that she was extremely nervous.

"Relax. She isn't here yet." Ezra said as he walked inside.

Aria let out a breath she wasn't aware she was even holding.

"This brings back so many memories." Aria said as she looked around.

Ezra grabbed her hand and led her to the kitchen before something caught his eye on her left hand.

"What's this?"Ezra smirked.

Aria blushed as she realized she never took her engagement ring off.

Ezra looked at his fridge and realized it was empty.

"Wanna order in?" Ezra asked.

"Yes!" Aria's eyes lit up.

Ezra went to call the Chinese restaurant as his phone rang.

"I'll be right back." He said as he walked outside.

"Hello?" Ezra asked into the phone.

"Hey. We're on our way." Emily said into the phone.

"Good, I have someone who can't wait to see her." Ezra said into the phone.

"Who?" Emily asked.
