She rolled her eyes and stubbornly set her jaw. "She will. She will fall for the flowers, she's going to take you back even if I have to do the begging for you. I don't want you to move back to New Orleans; it's going to kill me." Aya knew she shouldn't have said it but she couldn't help it. It would crush her if he left again.
Aya thought about it and laughed. "Shut up; I'm not a magnet for assholes. And Dan isn't like you; he's really thoughtful and he doesn't have his foot perpetually stuck in his mouth like some people I know." She grinned at Monte. "No ridicule from me; I'm just happy that I know you'd beat him up for me if he broke my heart." Aya laughed and watched his hand lightly tug on her hair. "Only if you hold the fact that I'm jealous of Serena against me." She was honest enough to him and to herself that she could say it without feeling so much shame.

Monte closed his eyes and tried to think of some other reason, aside from Serena taking him back for him to stay. "It won't kill you if I move to New Orleans, it might be a little unpleasant, but Dan will be here fulfilling your romantic needs and Garret will still be here to fill your asshole requirements. I'm not staying here if Serena doesn't want me and you won't have me, I won't. I'll enroll at Tulane and do something with myself."
"I didn't think he was like me at all, he's perfect for you, exactly what you deserve and the rest of us toe suckers will just sit and watch the two of you be happy. And you're right, I'll pulverize him if he breaks your heart, I may need a bat, he's bigger than me, but I'll finish the job." He stopped tugging and combed his fingers through her hair instead. "Don't be jealous, you have someone better remember, she's going to have to deal with kissing a guy whose mouth always tastes like foot." He laughed. "I won't hold it against you."

Aya pouted. "It would kill me. I don't just need a boyfriend and an asshole to bully you know." She closed her eyes as she leaned into him. "I need you too. I know it sounds selfish but I do. I tell you things that I can't tell other people... Not even Dan." She sighed softly and silence enshrouded the both of them. "Why am I talking like this? You're not going to move; Serena will take you back. She'd be crazy not to." I'd take you... I would.
Aya snorted back a laugh at what he had said. "I'm glad I can count on you to finish the job then." She kept silent though. What if I don't want better? What if all I want is you? This? She looked at him and grinned cheekily. "Doesn't matter what your mouth tastes like; you're a good kisser."

Monte rolled his eyes. "Don't you know that Dan will replace me, you'll be telling him things you'd never dream of telling me because I'd just laugh at you and be mean and Dan would never do such things." He grinned, but on the inside he was frowning. She's going to make this decision harder, she'll worm her way in like you wormed your way into her heart and then you won't leave you'll just be stuck here lonely, the best friend, the 'filler' father to Avery's babies, and without her. "Aya!" He was frustrated. "I'm going to drown in this town around you and Avery and everyone." He removed his arm from around her, though he didn't dare move away from her, but stared up at the sky. "I told you I don't love Serena, I told you I love you, she's not going to accept that and you won't have me, what's left?"

The guilt that had been resting in the pit of her stomach had suddenly exploded inside of her and she flinched when he spoke. Her reply however was soft and meek as her eyes met the floor. "I'm sorry, I know I'm selfish and stupid and I want you here even if I can't give you anything in return." Don't you understand that I love you too? She heaved a big sigh and shook her head sadly. She fell silent, she didn't know what else to say; Aya didn't want to beg him to stay for her sake, knowing it would kill him inside. "I don't know what to say..."

Monte let off a growl of frustration when she flinched and spoke softly to the floor. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her all the way into his arms, he would have turned her around and held her even closer, but he couldn't. "You aren't stupid or selfish, if anyone is selfish and stupid it's me. I can't let you go, I can't keep a relationship alive even when everything is set out before me and you are trying to give me something in return, friendship. I'm just stubborn and want more." He sighed heavily and put his face in her hair. "I will do whatever I can to stay here, I'll join the cheerleading squad and perform cheers to get Serena to take me back and then I won't leave. I'm a major pessimist because all I have at the moment is the negative crap to go off." He kissed the back of her head. "Should we get off this roof now before I make you so angry at me you want to throw me off of it?"

She felt his strong arms encircle her and she just gave way and let him do it. Aya missed the feeling of being around him and though they couldn't figure out what was going on between them, she knew that things felt a lot better when she was in his arms. Aya let out a soft sigh of relief as she leaned into him. "I'm going to help you; Serena can't say no to you. She'd be silly to say no to you; I know you care about her. You may not love her but I know that you care." She twisted around in his arms so she could face him. Aya pinched his cheek lightly and smiled. "I missed your negativity. You always wanted to sound so hopeful for me when I was sick; I missed the negative Monte." She laughed. "I'd never throw you off the roof; I'd probably kick your shins but I'd never throw you off." Pulling away reluctantly, she offered him her hand. "Let's go."

Monte made a face as she pinched his cheek, but didn't let her go, if anything his hold on her tightened. "I think you are crazy for liking and missing my negativity, what's so appealing about it?" He asked, letting her go as she pulled away from him and took her hand. "We can't walk off this roof hand and hand." He pulled her back to him. "And if you aren't going to throw me off, I want more time." He was being selfish, he couldn't help it.

Aya shrugged at him in a noncommittal fashion. "Then I'm crazy, so what?" She grinned a bit cheekily at him swung the arm that held his hand. "Well I know that; I won't throw you off this roof so I guess it's safe to say we can have a bit more time." She walked over to him and curled up in his arms again; just because she could and because she missed it. "So when are you going to talk to Serena?" She knew it would probably put a damper on the mood but it was an issue they needed to discuss because she wanted Monte to stay and because Serena would be a downright fool to refuse him.

Monte grinned as she curled back into his arms and without hesitating he pressed his lip to hers, but pulled away immediately once he realize what she'd asked him. "When should I go talk to her?" He asked, his tone reluctant. If it were up to him, he'd stay up on the roof with Aya forever just so he'd be able to be with her and forget about Serena and Dan existed. It was wrong, he knew it, but at the moment he didn't care about anyone but himself and Aya.

Aya was momentarily stunned when her lips met Monte's but her eyes closed and she kissed him back just as lightly before reluctantly pulling away. "Well when did you last see her? She'll probably need a couple of days to cool off but don't let her wait that long; she might think you won't go after her." She wrapped an arm around his waist before resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes. "So how did you two meet anyway?"

Monte kept her close, but looked off to the side. "The picnic." He said. "Right after your song." He looked back at her. "Have I waited too long?" He asked. "She was acting like a complete nut case in the park." He laughed, he'd actually been amused by her little tantrum in the park. "She belittled an ant and said some other stuff and I asked if she wanted a straight jacket."

Aya laughed at the mental picture Monte presented to her and she thought about it, ticking off the days that had passed with her fingers. "Well I'm pretty sure she's waiting for you to show up with a half-assed apology right about now. You could go to her tomorrow, show up with flowers and beg for her forgiveness." She honestly couldn't imagine the 'great Monte Mondego' begging but she knew he was capable of surprising anyone if he really wanted to.

"So tonight would be too soon then?" He asked, though he had absolutely no plans to go find her after school and bring her flowers or apologize. It would seem wrong as if he didn't really want to apologize, not with what he was actively trying to do right now. "What about Dan, how did you meet him? You two looked awfully cozy at the picnic so I know it wasn't there."

Aya shrugged slightly and turned to look at the people walking around below. "I'm not sure, I think tonight would be fine." A tiny smile found its way to her lips when he asked about Dan. "Grocery store actually; he asked me to help him piss off his sister by buying completely useless things for their house. It was pretty funny actually." She bit her lip; she didn't want to tell him that she had went out with Dan the day after the picnic. That piece of information would probably just make things worse and she didn't want that at all.
