Hey guys, what do you think so far? Do you think Ben overreacted? Can Ben and Mal get through this? Let's find out now, much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.

After me and Ben walked out of the club he then led me to his limousine; I wasn't about to question him as he opened the door and gestured for me to climb in. So I staggered into the car and threw myself onto the back seat before I fell; I then quickly sat up and watched as Ben climbed in and sat on my right hand side before the door closed behind us. As we both fell into a very awkward silence I noted that Ben's driver hadn't got into the car so this is where Ben wanted to talk to me. By the looks of it he didn't want to keep me very long; and my stomach started to burn in panic. Thankfully I had had a drink; so I could hide my feelings from Ben - but tomorrow was going to very hard.

"I'm guessing you wanted privacy" I muttered as I looked down at the floor.

"Yes" I heard him answer.

"Mal I am so sorry; I should have given you time to explain" he said and I couldn't help but look up at him.

"I know it isn't an excuse-" he started before he looked down at the floor. I decided to give Ben the time that he needed; whatever was on his mind was obviously hard for him and I didn't want to rush him.

"But it is always hard to think of you with other men" he confessed.

"It sets off my Beast rage" he added and my eyes widened. I started to feel my stomach fill with hope; did this mean that Ben wanted to give us another go? I didn't know whether this was such a good idea; he was right earlier on - me and him obviously didn't work.

"I know it isn't my place to think like that; it's just you mean so much to me" he urged and my eyes widened in shock.

"And I-" he started once more and his voice broke. I hated seeing Ben like this; by the looks of it he had let his jealousy get the best of him. I didn't want to be too hard on him; if I was being honest Ben didn't like men coming near me in our previous relationship. So I knew that if Ben wanted to start dating again I was going to be wary of this; but I felt exactly the same. I hated the thought of any girls going near Ben; and it took a while for me to get past this after I broke up with Ben.

"Hey" I cooed as I slid closer to Ben. I probably could blame the drink if I wanted to but I wasn't going to; so I used my right hand to make Ben look at me. I then quickly crushed my lips against his in a bid to reassure him. However as I pulled away and looked at his blank face I started to hope that I hadn't just ruined everything with Ben.

"You know how much you mean to me Ben" I muttered as I stared into his eyes and started to defend my actions.

"I couldn't do that do you; to anyone in fact-" I stressed.

"But especially you" I finished.

"Yeah" he said.

"Come here Mal" he advised and he quickly pulled me into a hug and I couldn't help but sigh.

"You don't need to; if you think that my reaction was too much-" he started and I looked up at him through tipsy eyes.

"But can we have another go?" he pleaded.

"I will try and work on my jealousy" he promised.

"Me too" I answered back with a meek smile.

"You too?" he asked as he pulled one brow up in confusion at me.

"Yes" I confirmed.

"I don't like the thought of you with anyone else either" I confessed and I watched as a large grin spread across his face.

"I don't want anyone else" he answered.

"Only you" he said lovingly as he cupped my face with his right hand.

"So?" he asked and I went to pull a confused face at him but I stopped myself as I knew what question he wanted to me to answer.

"Yes Ben" I smiled and he grinned at me once more. We then fell into silence before Ben pressed a long and loving kiss against my lips; I sighed against his lips as his tongue slid against mine. I had my Ben back; yes I felt like I was a glutton for punishment - but Ben was worth it.

"You defended my honour" I chuckled as we broke apart from each other.

"Please don't make a habit of it" I said as I reached over and swept some hair behind Ben's left ear.

"I can only try Mal" he smiled meekly.

"Well that is all I can ask for" I smiled as I snuggled back into him.

"Hmmm" he purred and I smiled against his chest.

"Mal?" he said into the silence after we had been sitting cuddling in silence for a few minutes.

"Aha?" I answered as I rolled my head back and looked up at him.

"I will make it up to you" he promised.

"You don't need to do that" I dismissed.

"I do Mal" he urged.

"And I will; you won't dissuade me on this" he vowed.

"Ok" I said as I knew that I couldn't talk him out of it and I didn't want to argue with him again tonight.

"What do you suggest?" I questioned changing the subject.

"I plan the next date?" he suggested.

"Ok" I repeated.

"I think that should be fair" I nodded.

"I'm planning the next one though" I said smugly as I started to stroke his chest with both of my hands.

"As you wish" he smiled.

"What are you doing? Going back to your night out?" he questioned.

"Hmm" I said as I started to think about going back to the others; I knew that Evie would probably be here now but I knew that Sam and Matt would be telling her where I was.

"Do I have an alternative?" I questioned cheekily. If I was being honest I didn't really want to leave Ben's company; but I knew that he might have to leave due to his constant busy workload.

"Yes" he chuckled.

"Which is?" I asked eagerly.

"We could watch a movie and cuddle?" he offered.

"Is that date number four?" I asked.

"It can be" he smiled.

"However it will be date five where I really push the boat out" he advised.

"Ok" I nodded.

"Yeah; I think that will be nice" I smiled back.

"Can we go back to mine though?" I questioned as he opened the car window.

"Yeah of course" he grinned before he pressed a kiss against the top of my head.

"Dawson!" Ben called out of the window. I then watched as Dawson climbed into the front of the car as Ben closed the window once more.

"Yes my lord" he answered as he turned around and looked at us.

"Can you take us to Mal's please?" Ben asked as he rested his face against the top of my head.

"As you wish my lord" Dawson answered before he turned around and started the car. I snuggled back into Ben as the limousine pulled away; I couldn't help but smile against Ben's chest. I had been given a third chance; I didn't know what was going to happen but I knew that I loved Ben and I didn't want to lose him - ever again!
