Lost In Translation & Out Of The Woods (Sequel)

chapter 22

Aria woke up her head resting gently on Ezra's chest and it took a few seconds to realise how and why she was here. Memories came flooding back and soon enough she was just looking up deep into the mans eyes that she had fallen in love with in a time which seemed so long ago.
"Good sleep?" The man asked, his fingers tangling into Aria's hair, there was feeling overwhelming her but she didn't know what it was or what she was going to do about it.

There was something about this relationship between them that was toxic, an underlying message that always ended up hurting somebody and most of the time it was Aria. Maybe it was the danger of the situation or maybe it was just the pure thrill of what came along with it but it made Aria realise what she had been missing out on all the time she had been apart from the man she craved. There was something about him that made her never be able to let go because no matter what happened she always ended up here at apartment 3b with Ezra Fitz. This was here home, this was their ending.

Aria hadn't responded to the mans simple question which left him to raise a brow, confused as to what was wrong. Aria was sitting up now, her fingers exploring over the mans cheek, breathing becoming quicker as the seconds passed. Ezra didn't know how to react but he placed his hands softly round the girls small waist, being able to do so without being pushed away was a surprise.
"I have never stopped loving you since I left you." Something she had never believed she would say but it was the truth and it was out there in the open and for a second there was nothing but silence. Only a second.
Ezra already began to lock lips with the girl, his hand reaching to hold onto her head. There was hunger and passion, this is what they had both wanted for so long but Aria never believed that she would be able to forgive, maybe she still hasn't but for this second and for this moment this is everything she had ever wanted.
"I have never stopped loving you since I first met you."
It was enough to make Aria pull away slightly to look at his face, the face she had fallen in love with. The voice that could calm her from anything.
"And I know, I have done so much wrong. I know I do not deserve you but Aria, I can never stop loving you. No matter how hard I try I will never be able to stay away from you."
