Ezekiel picked up his phone to answer his incoming call from Liam. They exchanged a few words before Zeke ended the call and smiled at Mallory before eyeing her outfit.
"lets pick up and go somewhere" Ezekiel said.
~
Mallory parked behind Ezekiel who quickly got off his car and opened the door of the passenger side to her car. "You're going to drive me" Ezekiel smiled but Mallory shook her head no as she looked at the house behind him which she figured was where he lived.
"why not?" Ezekiel asked.
"Because I don't know where we are even going" Mallory answered. "I'll set the location on my gps"
"No, you drive" Mallory said and unbuckled her seatbelt to step out and get on the passenger side. Ezekiel got in the drivers side and looked at the steering wheel and the interior of the audi. A car that for many years he found fascinating and now he was seconds away from driving it.
Mallory looked at him as she put her seat belt on. "You don't have an idea of how long I've been wanting to drive a sports car for the only thing I've driven to speed is a KIA" Ezekiel smiled.
"I don't speed but if you know how to control it, show me. But put your seatbelt on" Mallory pointed.
"Speed doesn't scare you?" Ezekiel raised his brow. "Should I be scared?" Mallory asked.
"Not when you're with me" Ezekiel said as he started the car and began driving.

Ezekiel drove into the parking lot and parked besides the grey lamborghini that Mallory knew who it belonged to.
Ezekiel rolled down Mallorys window just as Liam rolled his window down.
"Change of plans, lets race" Liam smirked.
"It's hers so maybe ask her" Ezekiel said as he turned the car off and rolled the window back up. They both stepped out of the car and Liam and Devin did just the same from Liam's lambo.
"Never realized how short you really are were without heels" Liam smiled at Mallory.
"No my height is normal you're just really tall" Mallory answered.
"Hey" Devin said to Mallory then to Ezekiel as he zipped up his jacket.
"What's up" Ezekiel slapped hands with Devin and then Liam.
"Lets go inside" Liam said leading the way with Devin. Devin pulled the black tinted door and held it open so everyone would step in. Liam walked to the booth and paid for the entrances.
Mallory looked around at the indoor adventure park that looked like an obstacle course from ninja warrior.
"This is what you guys do on your free time?" Mallory asked Ezekiel.
"It's better than hanging out at the Alderidge hotel doing nothing but drinking cocktails" Liam said as he walked past them with their entrance wrist bands.
Ezekiel looked at Liam before turning to look at Mallory, "have you been to one of these places?" He asked.
"No" Mallory shook her head. "Well it's a good thing you wore shorts and not a dress" Ezekiel smiled and grabbed her hand to lead her towards the lockers where they would leave their shoes.
"Let's make teams and compete. Whoever loses has to pay for dinner" Liam said.
Ezekiel and Devin nodded but Mallory was just removing her espadrilles and putting on the socks the place provided.
"Are you in?" Liam asked Mallory.
"Yeah" Mallory nodded.
"Alright, Zeke is with me and both you and Devin are a team" Liam said.
"Wait what?" Mallory asked but Liam walked away and pulled Ezekiel with him.
Devin looked at Mallory and smiled with a light chuckle because he knew she didn't hear what they said and simply agreed, "we're in teams to see who can finish the obstacle courses and team who loses pays for dinner" Devin explained.
"I've never done this before" Mallory said. "It's easy but besides it's fun and if you fall off anything you fall into a pool of plastic balls, come on" Devin smiled and guided her.
Mallory and Devin stepped on the course besides the one where Liam and Ezekiel where standing waiting for them. "Are they both the same?" Mallory asked as she walked over to their side to make sure.
"It's the same thing babe" Ezekiel smiled.
"Babe?" Liam raised his brow but said it to tease Mallory as he looked at both Ezekiel and Mallory who blushed. Liam and Devin were aware that they were dating already.
"Go first" Liam said to Ezekiel who nodded.
"Do you want to go first?" Devin asked Mallory. "No you go first so I can see what I have to do" Mallory smiled and Devin nodded.
"Ready, set, go!" Liam shout. Both Devin and Ezekiel hopped to the trampolines jumping from one to the other and continued on to the swings.
Mallory watched as both Devin and Ezekiel were in the same place. She constantly looked at Ezekiel who had a concentrated face but also smiled because of the fun he was having.
She liked how his black tshirt sticked to his arms and torso. They both made it to the other side at the same time.
"Ready?" Liam asked Mallory who looked at all the plastic balls she could potentially fall into.
"Yea-" she was about to respond when Liam interrupted her.
"To lose?" Liam smirked. Mallory flipped him off before looking over at Ezekiel who began the countdown.
"Two, one, Go!" Ezekiel shout. Liam reached for a plastic ball quickly and tossed it towards Mallory but she was quick to dodge it as she jumped towards a trampoline then the other. Liam caught up to her and stuck his tongue out at her making her smile. She jumped onto the swing that looked easy to get on but was slippery and almost fell off. She swung until she felt that she could jump onto the next swing. She barely made it once again and now she had to swing to jump onto what seemed a punching bag but was foam that had a net around it so she could grasp onto if she reached it.
"Looks like you're going to pay for dinner" Liam said as he swung because they were in the same place.
"Humble him down" Devin said to Mallory and she swung harder and jumped closing her eyes and opened them in surprise when she realized she had grasped into the net. She looked back at Liam and laughed when she saw him getting back on the swing because he had fallen into the pit of plastic balls. Mallory continued the course until she got to the end with Devin.
Liam got there a minute later. "What happened?" Ezekiel laughed.
"I had to let her win it's her first time" Liam said as he tried to catch his breath.
"Who's paying for dinner again?" Mallory asked Liam.
"We still need four more courses" Liam pointed.

After the courses that Mallory and Devin had won they sat on the big trampoline.
"Round 2 is necessary" Liam said.
"We won" Devin shook his head no. "In life we're all winners" Liam joked.
"Pay up" Devin answered.
"Pizza or Ramen?" Liam asked.
"Ramen" Devin said. "What about you?" Liam asked.
"Ramen sounds good" Mallory nodded.
They got off the trampoline and went over to get their shoes to exit the place. Ezekiel put his arm around Mallory, "you like ramen?" He asked.
"I've never had Ramen" Mallory answered.
Liam turned as they were walking in front of them and frowned at Mallory, "how boring was your life before hanging out with us" He said making Devin turn to smile at her.
"We're the real cool kids" Ezekiel hugged Mallory.
