I don't own The Selection Trio by Kiera Cass
When I woke up the next morning, Owen wasn't in bed. I reached around for him in bed but he wasn't there. I searched around for my phone in my robe and looked at the time it was almost noon. I groaned and threw my head on the pillow. The lights were still off. I closed my eyes again and tried to go back to sleep. I heard the door open and the lights turned on. I groaned and covered my eyes.
"Ames, get up it's almost lunch-time and you missed breakfast." Owen said, and walked over climbing on the bed.
"No, I wanna sleep all day." I told him. Nothing happened for a second but then he kissed my forehead, then moved to my cheek, then my nose, skipping over my mouth and going straight to place pepper kisses along my neck. He then went to my lips, I uncovered my eyes and placed my hands around his neck, kissing him back. He didn't care about morning breath, which I actually rarely had. He laid on his back and I climbed on top of him still kissing him. After a little, I pulled away and stared at him.
"Good morning." he said.
"Morning." I whispered. "What have you been doing?" I asked him.
"Paperwork. Boring paperwork." he answered and rested his hands on my hips.
"Paperwork isn't always boring." I assured him.
"Yes it is." he replied.
"Okay, but admit paperwork not boring when I'm around." I told him.
"Paperwork when you are around, is called making out." he said and I chuckled.
"Can I shower here?" I asked him.
"I'll have a maid go and grab you some stuff." he said, I got off of him stood up, taking off his sweater. He stared at me, because the night-gown was so small. I laughed and shook my head.
"Go. And come back before lunch." I demanded and he stood up kissing my lips and walking out of the room. I walked into his wonderful bathroom and walked to the shower starting it. I slipped of my nightgown and took a quick shower. When I got out there were clothes, makeup and everything else I needed. I smiled and checked the time on my phone. I had twenty minutes until lunch.
Beca left me a seafoam green skirt, with a light gray tank top with glittery design and a darker gray blazer. She left a pair of gray heels and a hair pin for my hair. I got dressed and blew out my hair braiding it. I usually dressed like this and it's either jeans or a skirt. I did my makeup quickly. I put my things in a drawer in the bathroom and threw my nightgown in an empty drawer of Owen's room along with my robe.
"Why are you putting your things in my room?" he asked me walking in the door and looking over at me. I sighed.
"Because I can. You have a problem with it?" I asked him.
"If it gets you to stay in my room more than I am greatly okay with it." he said.
"Good." I said and slipped my hand threw his arm and we walked out of the room. We walked down the hall. "Everyone will be there?" I asked, him.
"Everyone left after lunch, except for Illea, Italy and England." he told me. Italy and England were where all my friends were from. The ones I was almost always with.
"I'm going to practice riding after lunch. Nic got me into a competition." I told him.
"Yeah, she told me about that." Owen said.
"I swear I'm not even ready, but I will be. And we are performing after too." I stated.
"I can't wait. You two singing, I haven't heard that ever." he told me and I laughed and shook my head. He opened the door for me and we walked in, everyone was waiting for us.
"Nice of you to join us." Brandon said, I smiled and Owen and I walked up next to them and sat down. I sat down next to Owen who sat down next to his father at the head of the table.
"How'd you sleep darling?" the queen of England asked me smiling. I looked down towards her.
"Great." I answered, she chuckled softly at me and the maids and butlers started bringing out food. We talked about random things and I was quiet most of the time. We finished eating and I left with Nicolette. We excused ourselves from their company and made plans to go out tonight with Arabella, Dove, Celeste and their boyfriends. We invited Maxon and Kriss along but I think they are two stuck up. The club we were going to was a private one, there is one in every country and it is only for royalty and people high up in the world. Every country except for Illea. Even as royalty we deserved to act like normal people would.
Nic and I walked to our rooms first to change and then to the stables where our horses were already ready. We walked to the outdoor arena and mounted the horses.
"Am I telling Johnny that we are singing tonight?" Nic asked me.
"Of course you are. The last time we sang was last week." I told her.
"Okay, so what songs?" she asked.
"Um, DNA, Wings, Salute, and for Sledgehammer we will bring in Nadia." I suggested.
"Sounds good. Now every pole you knock down you have to do a shot." She suggested.
"Your on. But you go first." I said and she laughed and went over every pole perfectly except for two. "Ha, your at two." I bragged and I went myself. Why did I brag, I just knocked down four poles.
"Oh my god America." Nic laughed.
"Yeah, whatever. Let's just keep practicing." I sighed.
We did keep practicing and by the looks of our progress for the next five hours-yes we were riding for five hours, not counting interruptions-we will definitely win the competition. I had seven shots and Nic had seven. We took care of our horses and went our separate ways until we met up in another hour or so. I took a long shower and sat around in my robe for a little, while I did some last minute paperwork and then I got dressed into a crop top with a black skirt and a pair of cut out heels and then I did my hair and all that.
