Mallory stepped into Noelle's apartment right after her grandfather left and found Noelle still in front of her macbook.
Mallory smiled as she shut the door behind her. Noelle turned to look at Mallory and raised her brow.
"We kissed again. And I really liked it" Mallory smiled as she walked towards Noelle's couch. "Devin?" Noelle asked.
Mallory nodded.
"Well that's cute"
"He was high, both him and Liam were and I know he used to smoke since high school but I never realized how hot and attractive he looks high. Not that I want him to be high all the time but it did give him a little extra touch to the way he smiled" Mallory smiled just with the thought of Devin.
"They do look a little more attractive" Noelle smiled.
"Have you smoked before?" Mallory was actually curious because never in her life did she ever grab a cigarette or a blunt.
"You haven't?" Noelle responded as she shut her MacBook.
"I like how you answered my question with a question but no I have not it just doesn't call my attention" Mallory shrugged.
"It's good but I get that you don't want to try it either. Did grandpa tell you he wants us to have family dinner?" Noelle asked.
"No but if he does I don't plan to attend because Devin asked out on a date" Mallory said as she grabbed Noelle's pillow and set it on her lap.
"Yeah I actually have plans with Liam as well" Noelle said as she put her papers in a portfolio. "Speaking of Liam. He asked me about you then mentioned you two had an argument about Nick" Mallory raised her brow in hopes that Noelle would tell her.
"Nick has been going insane with trying to get my father behind bars and as much as he did me wrong I'm trying to help him. Liam was fine with it at first but Nick tried to kiss me and Liam found out. He said I should probably stop helping him because he's just using it as an excuse to get me back but if you saw Nick, he's not him. His father isn't talking to him either. I can't leave him alone, especially not after seeing him the way I did and-"
"You don't have to justify yourself, I understand. However I get why Liam would be jealous. If you need help with anything let me know" Mallory smiled.

"What the fuck are you wearing?" Liam frowned when Devin stepped out of his walk in closet with a suit and tie.
"Should I wear the black suit instead?" Devin asked Liam as he looked at his navy blue suit and white dressing shirt.
"I'm not taking about the color, colors fine. Take the tie off you're going on a date with her not on a business meeting. Unless, you want to get kinky" Liam chuckled.
Devin took the tie off and unbuttoned the first too button. He looked at himself and felt that he looked better for a date with just his shirt and pants.
Devin put his watch on and grabbed his cologne.
"Alright I'm heading out, are you going to stay here?" Devin asked Liam who was laying in his bed.
Liam quickly sat up and got up, "no I'm actually heading to my girls place too. Good luck with her and remember you can always come back running to me" Liam joked as he left Devins room.

Mallory stepped out of the elevator in a her black Rasario crepe front slit maxi dress with her hair curled. Devin eyed her as she walked towards him.
"You look, WOW" Devin looked at her in awe. Mallory smiled and blushed, "you look 'Wow' too" Mallory said as she leaned in to greet him with a kiss on the cheek but he moved on purpose to kiss her on the lips.
When they stopped kissing Mallory couldn't help but smile, "I like that" she said and leaned in to kiss him.

They got to restaurant that was across the street from where they had breakfast which Devin raved about. Mallory saw that there was paparazzi outside and looked at Devin.
"Are they here for you?" Devin asked. Mallory shook her head no, "at least I don't think so, they tend to follow Noelle more" Mallory said as she put her phone into her clutch.
"We can go in through the back door if you want" Devin said.
"No. This is fine" Mallory smiled. Devin nodded and got off the car to get the door for Mallory. Mallory grabbed his hand to step out of the car and walked beside him when the paparazzi started calling Devins name.
Mallory was just as surprised as he was that they were calling his name and asking him questions and not hers.
'What do you think about your father paying for a guilty man to get out of prison?'
'How does it feel to be the son of the most prestige lawyer in Chicago that now defends rapist?'
Mallory had no idea what they were talking about but Devin had a hint and ignored them.
'Is this your girlfriend?'
'How would you feel if she was the victim who your father didn't give justice too?'
Devin made Mallory walk in front of him so she wouldn't be mobbed by the media.
Once they were inside Devin gave his name and they were taken to the elevator that was going to take them to the rooftop.
"Are you okay?" Mallory asked Devin.
Devin felt embarrassed and ashamed of what his father had done. He knew what case it was and had asked his father not to defend someone who had everything pointing towards him that he was guilty.
"I asked him not to do it" Devin said. "You're not guilty for your father's decisions" Mallory put her hand on his arm.
"He helped him because he was his friend and it makes me sick because it's not like my father doesn't have a women in his life who can run the same risk that every other women does around these sick minded men." Devin felt anger and disappointment.
"How did they know you were going to be here?" Mallory asked.
The elevator doors opened and Devin saw his father in a table having dinner.
"Because he's here celebrating his stupidity" Devin said with a clenched jaw.
