Behind Those Lies.

When Dan walked into his flat with his bag in his hand he wanted to do two things. One was sleep and the second was calling Aria. He walked into his bedroom and put his suitcase down. He pulled out his iPhone and dial Aria's now familiar number.

It took about four rings for her to answer.

"Hi." She said. He could tell she was smiling just by the way she said it.

"How are you today?" He said as he put her on speaker phone.

"Good. Aren't you tired?" She asked.

"I'm actually but I really wanted to talk to you."

"That’s so cheesy but really cute." She said laughing lightly.

"Well I'm sorry I was cheesy." He said as he took his skinny jeans off. He quickly put on a pair of comfy sweatpants.

"Would mind if I came over and maybe watched a movie?" Dan wanted to say no because he was so tired, but he couldn't bring himself to say no to spending time with her.

"That sounds brilliant."

"I'll be over in about ten."

"All right see you then." He said before they both hung up.

Dan decided to take a quick five minute shower before Aria came over. He quickly put on a clean pair of boxers and the same pair of sweatpants. He didn't have time to get a shirt on when there was a knock at his door.

He opened the door to find Aria with a smile on her face. "Hi." She said before he pulled her into a hug.

"What film would you like to watch love?" Dan asked walking towards the TV.

"Anything is good with me." She said sitting down and crossing her legs.

"Um how about we watch Naria?" He asked holding up the DVD.

"Oh I love the first Narnia movie."

Dan quickly put the DVD before sitting next to Aria on the couch. As the movie played it took everything in Dan not to fall asleep. He barely paid attention to the movie. He watched Aria more than the movie. She was completely into the movie.

As little Aria watch as little Lucy wondered through Narnia. She got a big smile on her face as Mr. Tumnus appeared.

About ten minutes later Aria looked over to find Dan sound asleep. She smiled slightly before standing up and turning the TV off. She walked in front of Dan and lightly shook his shoulder. "Dan why don’t you get up and go sleep in your bed?"

"I'm sorry I fell asleep." yawned while stretching.

"It’s okay. I'm sorry I asked you to hang out I should have known you'd be tired." She said sitting down on the couch next to him again.

"No I wanted to see you."

"Why don't you take a nap and we can hang tomorrow?"

"You should take a nap with me." He said standing up and running his fingers through his blond hair. All the sudden he felt nervous. Like he might be asking too much.

"That would be lovely." She said walking towards his room.

When they got to his room Aria sat on the edge of the bed and smiled. "Dan do you have a shirt I can wear instead of wearing this sweater?" She asked.

"Of course." He reached into his closet and pulled out a simple white v neck for her. She quickly pulled off her sweater and pulled the white v neck on.

"Good thing leggings are comfy to sleep in." She said crawling into Dan's double bed.

Dan crawled into bed next to her and put his arms around her pulling her close to him. She had back tightly pressed against his chest. "This is nice." Dan whispered.

It wasn't long before both of them were out cold.

Aria woke up to the bright morning sun poking through the blinds. She pushed the sleep out of her eyes as she looked over at Dan who had just woken up.

"I think our nap turned into sleeping all night." Aria said crawling out of bed.

"I guess it did." He smiled as he stretched.

Aria grabbed her phone off the nightstand to find a text from Josh.

Josh (mobile)
How about we have coffee today?

Aria looked over at Dan who started getting dressed. She knew that she need to tell Josh that 'arrangement' was going to have to come to an end.

"Hate to leaving, but I got to head home." She said pulling her sweater over Dan's v neck.

"It’s alright love." He said pulling on a Cheer Up baseball tee. "I see you are starting a collection of my shirts." He smirked.

"It’s not my fault you left the first one." She laughed as she put her shoes on.

Aria walked into the coffee shop she told Josh she would meet him in. She found him sitting at a table with two cups. "Ello love." He smirked holding out her cup.

"Thank you." She sat down across from him.

"You're welcome love."

"Josh is there a reason you wanted to have coffee with me?" She asked before taking a drink of her warm mocha.

"Erm love I'm not sure how to say this." He looked down at the table. "I don't think we should continue this."

She couldn't help but laugh at the fact Josh was ending their friends with benefits arrangement. "Aria why are you laughing?" Josh asked with a confused look on his face.

"Because I was going to suggest the same thing."

"Oh." He laughed.

"Josh why exactly are you ending."

"Because I don't want me to ruin whatever you and Dan have." She couldn't help but smile at the fact Josh saw what was going on.

"Well can I just say I personally think are arrangement was success." She laughed.

"I think so too." He smirked.

After her coffee with Josh saw a text from Dan.

Dan (mobile)

She had no clue what was going on with her and Dan, but she liked it.
