Chapter 4

Americas POV

Today was the day when the royal familys would be arriving. I would have to stand by Nicoletta to great them. Which would be easy except for seeing Maxon and Kriss. I had Lucy watch Arie I wanted to tell Maxon in private about her if I had enough courage to tell him at all.

Here they came arm in arm. Once I saw him all the feelings I tried to push away came flooding back how could I ever stop loving him?

Maxons POV

We arived at the Italian castle on the day of the ball. When we got there the Italian royals were there to great us. At first I didn't see America, but I finally spotted her talking to the English royals. I was planning on tuging my ear to her but she never looked my way . In the end we were quickly shown to our rooms and I never had a chane to great her. My room was right next to Kriss. I guess ill have to find America before the ball with out Kriss noticing.

I told Kriss that I was going on a walk around town and would be back in time to be ready for the ball. I rushed out of the palace to find someone to tell me were America lives. I ran into a maid carring towles who told me she lived in the aparments closets to the palace. I have never run so fast in my life. When I got there I caught my breath and asked for America Singer. Then I ran up four floors to her aparments. When I go there the door was open and I could hear America singing but couldnt see her. I knocked the singing stoped " Come on in I'm in the kitchen. The baby was sitting in a high chair facing the door way were I came in and America had her back to me. Her hair was flowing down her back and she was wearing a light blue blouse and shorts. "Aunt Marlee came really early didn't she Arie? Marlee I just found out that lucy can't come help me to get ready for the ball would you mind?" She turned around and gasped.

Americas POV

" Maxon what are you doing here? Who told you were to find me?" " I came to see you a maid told me were you lived." " oh . Why did you want to see me?" Arie started to cry. I had forgoton she was there. " Hush baby its ok. Let me put her down for her nap then we can talk.". As I put Arie down I collected my thoughts. Maxon was here amd if he didn't know about Arie he did now.

"So what did you want to see me about ?" " I think you know ." "Maxon if I knew I wouldn't be asking." He just smiled. "What?" I demanded. " I missed your voice. "Maxon what do you want?" "Whose the father? He asked. " I think you know ." I said sarcasticly. "I think I know to but I need you to tell me." " You." I whispered. By now he was right in front of me and we slowley moved into a deep kiss. When sudenly Kriss stormed into the room
