Ezekiel watched as Mallory looked up at the ceiling . They were both laying on the ground. Mallory was resting her head on his arm as he caressed hers.
Ezekiel began kissing Mallory's cheek until he reached her lips. Mallory smiled and kissed him back as he got on top of her again and hugged her waist to pull her up. He kissed her neck and began moving down.

Mallory stood up and grabbed her stuff. She put on her undergarments and then grabbed her dress. She had trouble zipping it up. Ezekiel stood up and helped her zip it up. She looked at him and thanked him.
"I have to go" Mallory said. Ezekiel grabbed his pants and took his phone out to see the time. "It's only six a.m" He said and put his phone back in his pocket.
"I have things to do" Mallory said. "When are we going to talk?" He asked. "We're not" Mallory responded.
"I know you didn't do it. Bellami confessed" to Ezekiel grabbed Mallory's hand but she pulled away.
"Bellami had to tell you so you would believe me?" Mallory rolled her eyes and stepped out of the cabin. "You walked away with your father the second Matthew had to let go of him" Ezekiel walked behind her as he finished getting dressed.
"I had no idea of what was happening. You called me a traitor and pushed me away" Mallory looked at him. "And I'm sorry!" Ezekiel raised his voice. He stepped closer to her and caressed her cheek. "I want us to be US again" He added.
"Can you take me to my apartment" Mallory said and got into his car. Ezekiel nodded and got in as well.
Mallory didn't speak to him during most of the car ride. They were only a few minutes away from her apartment.
"I want to see you tonight" Ezekiel put his hand on top of hers. "I can't" Mallory responded. "Tomorrow?" He asked.
"No. I can't go out with you anymore" Mallory said looking straight ahead. "Why?" Ezekiel frowned. "You're still dating Hailey and-"
"I'll end things with her" Ezekiel quickly replied. Mallory shook her head no. "Don't hurt her" She responded. Ezekiel drove into the parking lot of Mallory's apartment building. He parked and looked at Mallory.
"I look at you and get this feeling that you are the person I'm destined to be with forever. It's a feeling that I don't get with anybody else Mal. I dated her because I wanted to forget about you but every time I look at her I see you. What happened last night is what we both wanted, right?" Ezekiel rested his forehead against hers.
"I have to go" Mallory reached the door handle but Ezekiel grabbed her arm to stop her. "Answer me and I'll let you go but answer with honesty. You desire me as much as I desire you, right?" Ezekiel looked at her.
Mallory nodded.
"So let's work things out between us, please" Ezekiel said. "Not as long as there's people we'll hurt in the way" Mallory responded and reached for the door.
"I'll end my engagement with her today" Ezekiel quickly answered. He thought about what he had just said to her and wished he hadn't but it was to late. Mallory turned to look at him, "you're engaged?" Mallorys heart began racing feeling as if in one point it would break like glass. "Let me explain-"
Mallory felt a sense of vertigo amd opened the door to get off. Ezekiel quickly removed his seatbelt and followed her. He got a grip of her arm and pulled her to face him. She tried to pull away but he held her tight. "It was the only way I'd get her fathers help to put your father in prison" Ezekiel yelled. Mallory's body began shaking and he felt it. Mallory felt all sorts of emotions, the main one being sadness. She thought about what he had said in the cabin about her still being the only girl he wanted to marry. It was something he had said to her when they were just going out too. "I'll end it with her" Ezekiel said but Mallory wasnt listening, she was to caught up in her thoughts. She was thinking that maybe he had fallen in love with Hailey and he just played her. She also thought that he wasn't the only one to blame for she gave herself to him but she could also blame the alcohol if she wanted to.
