Chapter 2

*Mal's POV*

The morning after cotillion I woke up feeling like things were finally starting the look up. Ben and I are back together and I couldn't be anymore happier. I felt as though a weight had finally been lifted off my shoulders.

"I know that look" Evie said teasingly.

"What look?" I asked trying to look innocent.

"The I'm so in love with Ben look" Evie said.

"I have a look?" I asked while blushing.

"Oh yes" Evie said.

"I know this for a fact because Ben gets the same look on his face whenever he's thinking about you" Evie confirmed.

"I'm just so glad that we're together again and that I realized that Ben's loved me for who I was all along" I said cheerfully.

"Well I'm glad you and Ben worked things out" Evie said sincerely.

"Me too" I agreed.

"Well we better get going, History of Auradon class starts in half an hour" Evie said

"You go ahead, I have to stop at my locker and get my books" I replied.

"Alright, see you in class" Evie said on her way out the door.

After leaving the dorms I grabbed a breakfast bar from the dining hall then I headed straight for my locker to get my books for class. As I opened up my locker to get my books I felt a pair of hands cover my eyes.

"Guess who?" a familiar voice said teasingly.

"Well your voice sounds familiar but I can't quite put my finger on it" Mal said playing along.

"I'll give you a hint, it's someone who loves you very much" Ben flirted.

"Well I'm flattered you feel that way but I don't think my boyfriend would like that" Mal replied while laughing.

Next thing I knew Ben spun me around to face him and crushed his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck deepening the kissing as I felt his arms wrap around my waist. After a few minutes of needing air, we broke apart.

"Wow" we both said breathlessly.

"Not that I'm complaining, but what was that for?" I asked while blushing

"Just glad we're back together, and just so you know I'm never letting you go again" Ben said softly while resting his forehead against mine.

"Then it looks like you're stuck with me forever, because I'm not going anywhere" I promised.

"Forever huh? I love the sound of that" Ben said softly while pressing his lips against mine once more. We heard a coughing noise so we broke apart to see Fairy Godmother standing there.

"I hate to interrupt you two but class will be starting soon, and your Majesty if I'm not mistaken I believe you have a council meeting to go to starting in ten minutes" Fairy Godmother said while looking at her watch."

"I was just on my way" Ben replied.

"Good, I'll see you in class Mal" Fairy Godmother said while walking away until she was out of earshot.

"Want to meet up later for a lunch date? I have an idea I wanted to run by you" Ben said.

"Is that the only reason? I asked flirtingly.

"That and I want you all to myself" Ben admitted flirtingly.

"Sure, I'll meet you at your locker at noon" I promised.

"Can't wait" Ben said before kissing me again.

"I love you" Ben said softly.

"I love you too" I said back.

"There's nothing I want more then to stay here with you, but duty calls" Ben said sadly.

"It's okay, we'll pick this up later during our lunch date" I replied sweetly.

"I'm looking forward to it" Ben said while winking.

The bell rang signaling that class was starting. Ben pulled me in for a hug and then kissed my forehead. Before walking off in different directions we both said goodbye to each other until we would see each other again later.
