"Ella, Byron. I'm so glad you could make it." Ms. Carlson, the office secretary at Rosewood Day, said in greeting to my parents at her wedding reception. "Hi Aria, it's so good to see you!" She pulled me in for a hug. I haven't seen her since June when my junior year ended and it was now the middle of August. Ms. Carlson, well now I guess her name is Mrs. Robinson, pointed out the table we would be sitting at and began welcoming other guests who had followed in behind us.

There was a man already sitting at our table with his back turned so we couldn't see his face, but I would know that curly brown hair anywhere. I walked ahead of my parents and put my purse down on the back of my chair and tapped his shoulder.

"Mr. Fitz," I said suggestively. He turned around and a huge smile appeared on his face. At this point my parents had joined us at the table. Mike claimed to be going to his friend Jack's house for the night and that was why he wasn't attending the wedding with us.

"Ms. Montgomery, I didn't know you were going to be here tonight." He said before he noticed the presence of my parents. "Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, how are you?"

"Oh please, Ezra. Call us by our first names," my mother said with a warm smile. Byron shook his hand before sitting down. Ezra, being the gentleman he is, pulled out my chair for me so I could sit down. I smiled at him as he took the seat next to me and across from both of my parents.

After a lot of small talk dinner was served. During the entire first part of the evening, Ezra's hand remained on my leg. We also played footsie, which thankfully went unnoticed by both of my parents. It was turning out to be really great night. That was until the DJ started playing music and Ms. Welch came up to our table.

"Ezra, would you like to dance with me?" She said flirtatiously. He shot a quick glance towards me before responding. He could see the jealousy, clear as day, forming in my eyes.

"Actually, Ellen. I'm really not the best dancer so I think I am going to sit this one out. I'm sorry." I almost laughed out loud after hearing this. Ezra didn't sound sorry one bit. His smile actually seemed to grow as she walked away. The four of us talked for a little bit longer before my parents began walking towards the dance floor. My eyes followed them and I sighed. Ezra saw and a confused expression took over his features.

"What's wrong, Ar?" He whispered and took hold of my hand under the table in response.

"I just wish we could do that," I said looking longingly at the dance floor. His grip on my hand tightened and he stood up from his seat. He looked down at me with only love in his eyes.

"Why can't we?" Ezra smiled down at me and pulled me towards the dance floor where most of the other wedding guests were. He wrapped his arms around my waist and started swaying to the beat of the song.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked. He tightened his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"I can't dance with my beautiful girlfriend at a wedding?" He said with mock offense in his tone. I looked up at him and smiled. The tables seemed to have turned tonight. Usually, I'm the one who is wanting to make our relationship more open. After swaying silently like this for a little bit longer I put my head against his chest and closed my eyes.

"Thank you," I whispered. Ezra pulled away and looked at me for a second and saw a tear of happiness rolling down my face.

"Anything for you." He said meaningfully as he wiped away the tear. I looked over his shoulder and saw Ms. Welch glaring at us from across the room.

"I think someone is a little jealous of me," I said jokingly. He turned his head to see what I was referring to. I felt him chuckle as I put my head back on his chest. "You know if you'd rather dance with her..." I suggested light-heartedly as I pulled out of his embrace.

"Now where do you think you're going?" He said as he pulled me back in towards him. I laughed and we stayed like this for a few more slow songs. As the DJ began playing dance songs I found out Ezra Fitz could really dance. I was surprised, he never really seemed like the dancing type to me.

"Mr. Fitz, I didn't know you could dance! Did you learn how-to from a book?" I asked teasingly.

"Very funny, Ms. Montgomery. I could say the same exact thing about you." The two of us were having a great time when suddenly he took my hand in his and pulled me close so he could whisper in my ear.

"Do you want to get out of here?" he asked. I looked at him in confusion.

"What about my parents?" I questioned curiously. Ezra was really never this open about us, especially in a place where my parents were too.

"You can just tell them that we're going out for ice cream. I'm not your teacher anymore, maybe this can be the way that they see us becoming friends." He said while pulling me back to our table to pick up our belongings.

"If only they knew," I said with only a smile on my face.

"If only they knew," Ezra repeated as he led me to his car. He opened the door for me before getting in on his side and driving away from the reception hall.

"I'm so glad we had tonight. I wish I could shout it from the rooftops, but I love you Ezra Michael Fitz."

"As I love you, Aria Christine Montgomery." He responded before leaning over to kiss me.

This is definitely one of the best nights I have had in a very long time.
