Mal's POV
I could feel my cheeks burning with nervousness and my lips started to quiver waiting for his response. I knew that I was probably the last person he wanted to see right but we still needed to talk about everything that happened. I still don't know if were together anymore or not. I waited for a moment and just as I was about to make a quick exit so I didn't look like a complete idiot Ben spoke saying "It's nice to see you out, come to my room tonight around 6 we need to talk about some things?" I smiled and nodded my head then saying "Of course Ben, whatever you want." I collected the rest of my papers and scurried off out of the library and right towards Fairy Godmothers office. She wanted to talk to me about the two classes I had to make up for in summer school, English and Business of Auradon. Once I arrived she asked me how I was doing. I sighed still thinking about my encounter with Ben just five minutes before I got there and said "Things have been better this past week, just trying to keep my focus on school and making sure these are the only two classes I have to take in the summer. She nodded her head and said "Yes they are, here is your schedule and you should be able to complete these courses no later then the first week in July. This will give you some time in the summer so you don't have to be in school all the time." She giggled a bit and I smiled. I thanked her, gathered my stuff and headed back to my dorm room.
I waltzed into our dorm room to find Evie and Doug sitting together on her bed studying for there Curses and Poisons final. They seemed to be getting along and hanging out a lot lately. I guess since the only thing I have been hanging out with these past few weeks was my bed I would be lonely if i were her too. Once the door closed shut Evie's head popped up and said "Hey Mal, where were you after school today?" i threw my backpack onto my desk and said "Stopped by the library to finish up some work, ran into Ben and went to see Fairy Godmother about summer school." She gasped as I said that second part and practically yelled "You talked to Ben! What did he say? Did he even talk to you? Did he look ok? What happened? I laughed at her many questions just about my encounter with Ben. Doug then spoke saying "I guess that is my cue to leave, see you later Evie." Before he got off the bed he leaned over to kiss Evie on the cheek. As he was walking out the door he said "Bye Mal, hope everything works out with you and Ben." I smiled genuinely towards him as the door finally shut and Evie continued to give so many looks trying to get me to spill the details on mine and Ben's brief conversation today in the library. i told her the details and said he wanted to meet me at 6 in his room to talk. Her facial expression seemed pleased and she had high hopes for the evening ahead, she proceeded to pick an outfit out for me and I continued to think about the whole situation. I hope everything goes well but I am still taking into account the chance of him not wanting to be together anymore after I lied to him about being pregnant and ultimately killing our baby that he may or may not have wanted. Evie suddenly appeared with an ensemble for me to wear. A royal purple tank top, cropped leather jacket, black skinny jeans, green converse.
I headed up the stairs to Ben's tower and arrived at his door at exactly 6 o'clock. I lifted my hand up to the door and knocked twice. I stood and waited for quite some time until a sliver of the door finally opened revealing Ben. He told me to come in so I walked into his room as he shut the door behind me. It felt foreign to me all of a sudden being in Ben's room. The last time I was here Ben had found out I was pregnant and I ran before he even got a word in. He touched my arm to snap me out of my memories, gesturing me to sit on the bed, so I sat on the edge and look up at him as if he had something to say. He spoke then "Thanks for coming tonight, I know we haven't seen each other in weeks and I know I should have visited you afterwards but I had a lot of press work to do after everything, plus I couldn't get away from my jobs I had to finish as King i mean Auradon depends on me too." As he finished talking he began pacing with every word he spoke. I stood and put my hands on his shoulders to stop him and call him down. I said "It's fine Ben, I know your busy now with being the King. I understand the pressure that you must be under to get everything done right. I'm sorry that all of this had to happen the way that it did. I had hoped that I would have had the courage to tell you sooner but I guess I was just in denial about the whole thing myself." I was about to continue when he stopped me saying "If something was wrong he should have told me, maybe we would still be expecting our baby..." His voice drifted and I could see a single tear fall down his cheek. I wiped it away and caressed my hand across his cheek one more time before he took my hand in his and kissed it. He spoke softly "I've missed you Mal, so much these past few weeks. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to come over and see you and cuddle for days on end. But duty calls and sometimes we can't wallow on the past, just look towards the future." He gazed down looking into my eyes and said "I forgive you Mal, when I asked you to meet me tonight I was going to tell you how you have lost my trust and that I wasn't sure if we could be together anymore. But now seeing you here, so vulnerable and forgiving of my absence I can't help but feel that same love for you as I did when the love spell wore off." At this point he was staring deep into my eyes and before he could make another move I spoke quite nicely "So your saying were still together?" He didn't even speak but kissed me so passionately that I already knew what his answer was. Magical, literally.
