It was the fourth of july and it had been about a month already that Devin and Mallory had been dating. Mallory felt completely different in her relationship with Devin than she had felt with Ezekiel. They were both a good different.
Nobody knew they were dating, only Liam and Noelle.
Things were getting serious between them and she was good with that.
Mallory finished putting on her swimsuit and stepped out to show Noelle. "Is this one cute?" Mallory asked as she stepped in front of the full length mirror.
"It's cute just like all the previous ones you've tried on" Noelle said as she looked up from her phone.
"I just want to look really good, this can be the day" Mallory said as she fixed her hair. "What day?" Noelle asked.
"The day something finally happens between him and I" Mallory widened her eyes. "So you and him haven't?"
"No, every time I try to make a move he simply pushes me off but he does it in the kindest way which is why I never get mad. Sometimes I think he's not attracted to me" Mallory sat besides Noelle.
"Maybe he's just nervous" Noelle shrugged.
"There's literally nothing I can complain about him, just this. He's been really great to me and he's made me forget about- never mind" Mallory said as she grabbed her white cover up to match her swimsuit.
"He's made you forget about Zeke? I didn't want to say anything but Liam and I had dinner two nights ago and we bumped into him. He asked about you but Liam and I both thought it was best not to mention anything about you and Devin dating. For his well being and yours, I haven't seen you this happy and worry free"
"Who was he with?" Mallory asked. "Bellami's biological mother, they seemed to be talking about your parents because they had portfolios" Noelle said.
"I didn't know Brooke was in the country" Mallory responded. "I got to speak to her, she just got here well they just transferred her. You did what you had to do to help him" Noelle said.
"We should go up" Mallory smiled and tried to forget about the image of Ezekiel in her head. They stepped out where Liam and Devin were looking at a bottle of champagne.
Devin turned and smiled when he saw Mallory making Liam turn to see them walking towards them.
"What are you doing?" Noelle asked Liam. "He's reading the label to figure out the percentage of alcohol it has" Devin said as he walked towards Mallory and put his arm over her shoulder.
"Why?" Mallory frowned. "I'm trying to figure out how many bottles I have to drink to have the courage to jump from here all the way down there" Liam pointed down to the water as they were at the top of his parents yacht. "You're crazy" Mallory said.
"You'd jump with me right? You jump, I jump" Liam said to Noelle who shook her head no.
"Calm down Jack this isn't the titanic" Mallory said as she pulled Devin with her to the couch. "Doesn't this yacht have an inflatable slide that takes you from here all the way down there?" Mallory asked.
"Yeah but they're just setting it up" Liam said as he tried to get the champagne bottle open. "We can use the jet skis while they set that up" Liam said once he got the bottle open and began filling up the glasses.
Mallory stood up and grabbed Devins hand to pull him with her. Before they left they both grabbed the glasses of champagne Liam had served. They got to the first floor where the jet skis were floating besides the yacht.
