The Selection Series
America POV
Its like something took over me, I found myself going toward the piano and the music poured out of me, soon I was singing and composing and it was all perfect harmony. All of my feelings about Maxon, Aspen, my family and the rebels, all spilling out of me in song. It was a whole new beautiful composition. Then I heard someone clear their throat and it all stopped. I immediately stopped singing and playing. I heard a few giggles and turned around to see my maids looking absolutely giddy and there leaning on the door was Maxon. He looked ruggedly handsome. he looked disheveled and he had a huge grin on his face. I was conscious of my face turning red. I did a small curtsey.
"Your Majesty" I said. I couldn't meet his eyes no matter how hard I tried.
"Lady America" He replied with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
poor Lucy just couldn't stop giggling . I look toward my maids begging them to go away and thankfully they got the message and hurried away with their laughs echoing through the halls.
"That was beautiful" Maxon said.
"What?"
"That song…." His grin got wider. He came inside and sat on my bed.
"Oh, that" I felt my face grow hotter as I said it.
"Was it about someone in particular" There was a sly smile playing on his lips. Why did I make a huge fool out of myself whenever he was around? I didn't reply, he continued,
"Because I think whoever that song was composed for is a very lucky man" He stood up and moved closer to me. I refused to reply. He cupped my face in his hands forcing me to meet his eyes.
"America, you can end this as soon as you want to...you already know how I feel, what else do I have to do to prove it? Just say it America." I could see it in his eyes, how much he loved me, he had proved himself again and again and again. I asked myself the one question I had been trying so hard to avoid since I arrived at the palace. Did I love Maxon? With a jolt I realized the answer and how simple it was, yes. Yes, I loved Maxon and I would do anything for him, even if that meant becoming the new princess of Illea.
"Yes Maxon" I breathed. " I love you"
"And I love you too"
With that he kissed me, ever so gently. It drove me crazy.
Yes. I was ready to become the queen of Illea.
