Sorry for such the long wait. I have had so many science test this past month but today I thought I would write a chapter. It has been such a long time since I have written for this fic but it will still be good. So here we go…
Maxon POV
I think that I need a break from dating four women. I mean I love spending my time with America and Kriss but Celeste just wants to get in pants. Elise only wants me to make her family happy. I look over at my mom telling me about how I need to send one of the girl's home. I nod but don't pay much attention. America is in my mind. Tonight, the girls each had to plan part of the party. There are three parts to it.
Each year we bring in the mayor's family's and they stay here for a night of fine dining and dancing. Two of the girls have the mayor's and their wives. Then one has the little kids and one with the teens. Celeste and Elise are planning the mayor's and wives one. Kriss the little kids and America the teens.
I hope she does well because if not then she will have to go. My father will make her. Mom stops talking and now is staring at me. "Okay well you need to get ready." I say. I have an hour until tonight event starts. Mom nods and leaves my room. I get on a black crisp suit. A red tie. My hair looks fine so I leave it. Father wants to meet before the event. I might kill him for caning America! But I need to stay calm for this event. Tomorrow I will give him a piece of my mind. He meets me for a few minutes telling me about what I am doing tonight and then I head downstairs where each girl is standing. America is in a pink dress with a lace back. It looks really tight.
"Hello ladies." I say but only look at America. Her hair is curled. "I just wanted to wish you luck for tonight, I know each one of you worked hard on this!" Please let's let America part be good.
"Thank you Prince Maxon." Celeste purrs. I look over at America and see her entire front. My breath is taken away. Her dress has lace all over the chest down to the ribs. And her chest is not very covered. Then there is a split up to her mid-thigh. She looks hot!
"You all look lovely." I smile. Kriss blushes when I say that. Her dress is blue. The blue like what America use to wear. It is knee length. It looks just like a dress America would wear. Silvia pulls America to the side. America nods and nods. "Is everything alright Lady America?" I ask concern in my voice.
"Yes, Prince Maxon. Silvia was just informing me that everything is a go." America smiles.
"I will be at each of your events, the event is three hours. I will be at Lady Celeste and Lady Elise first, then Lady Kriss and lastly Lady America." I smile at America. She nods.
"Okay ladies, I hope you all have a wonderful night." I walk with Celeste and Elise. They are talking really fast. I hope that this part of the night goes by quickly so I can get to America. I want to dance with her. I talk to some mayors and then their wives kept looking at me like I was a piece of meat. I think that I need to get out of here. I check my watch and see my hour is over.
Elise and Celeste did very well, everyone is having a good time. I get to Kriss's part. There are tons of little kids. They are in a circle.
"Prince Maxon." Kriss smiles when she sees me.
"Lady Kriss."
"Please join the circle." I sit beside a little red head. She blushes when she looks at me.
"Hi." I say and the little girls face goes bright red.
"Prince Maxon, it's a pleasure to meet you." She says
"Please call me Maxon, and your name?" I ask and the little girls light up.
"My name is Hannah." She puts out her hand.
"Nice to meet you Hannah." I shake her hand.
"Okay, now we are going to have story time." Kriss starts to read a book with a Princess and a Prince. When she is done all the little girls are giggling.
"Prince Maxon can you kiss Lady Kriss like the prince in the book did?" One little girl asks. Then all the girls are asking. I nod. I can't say no to them. The little boys looks grossed out. I stand to walk over to Kriss. She stands to. Her lips are pink. I place my hands on her hips. Then I kiss her. My lips move with hers. She puts her hands in my hair brining my face closer to hers. I pull her hips to me. We have never kissed like this. It's powerful. Wait, America? I ignore myself and kiss Kriss. She pulls back and her face is bright red.
"They are so meant to be." One little girl says.
"I still think the fives got a chance." Another says.
"But Lady Kriss is perfect, Prince Maxon will choose her."
"Maybe." Kriss giggles at the little girls. We both go back to our spots and Kriss reads another story. I watch her. Her brown hair going past her ribs. Her beautiful blue dress. She would make a good queen one day. The story ends and Hannah gets up going to get food. She comes back with French fries. She keeps looking up at me and then look back down at her plate.
"Hannah what's wrong?" I ask. She looks back at me. Her blue eyes filled with tears.
"You kissed Lady Kriss." She says her eyes full of hate.
"Yes." I say.
"Do you even care about America or do you just play her?" Hannah says. "I mean go for it, be with Kriss if you want but don't pull America along." Hannah gets up and walks to some other girls. She keeps giving me the evil eye when she looks my way. Then I realize that the girls are split in fours. The boys are all together but the girls are split in fours. Hannah and the girls she is with must be team America. That's why she is mad. The door open and a teenager walks in.
"Hannah." She calls. Hannah come running. The girl that walked in has red hair too must be sisters. "Want to come with me for a little bit?"
"Yes but don't I have to stay here?" Hannah asks.
"Tommy Miller is here. He is about to play."
"Okay, I have to tell Prince Maxon." Hannah runs over to me.
"I am going to go with my sister to watch Tommy Miller." Hannah says.
"I will walk with you." I say. Who is Tommy Miller? I say a quick goodbye to Kriss and head to America. When I enter, America is on stage with some guy.
"So here I was when this beautiful red head tells me that I am a jerk face that Kenna will kick me if I hurt America. She was six. We became good friends. Both of us are in the music part of being a five. You know she was going to be in my band?" Tommy Miller, he is a famous singer. Now I know why Hannah was so happy. "But she said no. But tonight, we are a band, so let's get this party started." All the sudden the America is singing her voice is like an angel. She is singing about love. It's not a soft love song but it's beautiful. Her eyes meet mine and she smiles. I wave to her. They stop the song.
"I am also into taking photos." Tommy says. "I have been taken pictures of America for years. You all get see her in dresses but she is so beautiful in jeans." Tommy smiles a bit too much.
"I'm not beautiful in jeans but comfy." America says. Behind America a screen turns on. It's a picture of her in a jean jacket. A white top underneath it. Her hair is in two French braids. She looks so calm, at peace. She looks this way when she is sleeping.
"This is how I remember America. She is so calm here. This is what she looks like when she isn't trying to win a prince's heart." Tommy says.
"I do to look like that when I am here!" America crosses her arms.
"Really is that when you are sleeping?"
"Maybe, do you have more pictures of me?" America looks behind. The screen turns onto America on a chair. She has a tea in her hand and looking out at something. She is in a white t-shirt and jeans. There is a smile playing on her lips.
"I am showing you these because I want to show you America is a real person. She may be in dresses on TV but this is what she looked like when she was a gross five." Tommy says.
"I was the gross five? Do you forget that you are the one that smells?"
"I do not smell; does anyone want to smell me to tell America that she is wrong?" The crowd goes crazy. Tommy picks one girl to come up. She is blonde. In a tight dress that shows too much skin. She smells Tommy and smiles.
"No Tommy you smell nice." She flutters her eye lashes.
"Thank you." Tommy smirks. He says something to the girl and she leaves the stage. "This next song no one has ever heard. America wrote it. Take it away."
"My face goes red
Whenever I see
You
You make my heart beat way to fast
It's like we were made for each other
Because I'm in love with your brown eyes
So
Make me yours
Let's be together
Because I can't be without you" America keeps singing and when the song is done the crowd goes wild. America leaves the stage and comes straight to me. Her face is lit up. It's like she was made for this.
"Hi." She says.
"Hi, how did you get this band to play? They are big with the teenagers." America blushes.
"Tommy boy owed me a favour." America smiles. She takes a step closer to me.
"Is Tommy the guy that broke your heart?" I ask. If he is I am going to kill him! I can feel my blood boil at the thought. How dare he come into my house!
"No, he is just a good friend." America says.
"Good friend? So, you have never kissed him?" Why does things like that come out of my mouth!
"Once but this other guy was trying to get me alone all night, he gave me the creeps so Tommy boy planted one on me and the guy left me alone." America smiles at the memory.
"Was he a good kisser?" I ask.
"Not as good as you." I smile at this.
"Can I come to your room tonight?" I ask. America is about to say something when Hannah comes up to us.
"So you just kiss Lady Kriss and now want to go to Lady America's room? You are such a player! Come on Lady America you don't need him." Hannah takes America hand and I see America's face. She looks so hurt. But I am going to kiss Kriss because I still need to choose a wife! I might not be able to marry America! What is the big deal? America stays away from me for the rest of the night. She talks to anyone other than me. She doesn't even look at me. Before I know it, America is gone.
I walk up to my room and put on some jeans and a t-shirt. I need to talk to America. I go down. Once I am at America's door I knock. Lucy answers the door. "Prince Maxon." She bites out.
"Lucy."
"What do you want?" She crosses her arms.
"May I talk to America?" I ask.
"Why bother you could just go kiss Lady Kriss!" Lucy says.
"I just want to talk to her?" I try. Lucy shakes her head.
"No, have a good night Prince Maxon." Lucy starts to shut the door. I block her and push the door open. America is on her bed. She is reading Her hair is pulled back into a high ponytail. She is in leggings and a tank top with a sweater over top.
"Lucy you may leave." America says.
"If that is what you wish." Lucy says.
"Go on Lucy, you and Officer Legar need some alone time together." America says in a get-out-of-here now voice.
"As you wish." Lucy leaves. I walk over to America. She keeps her eyes on her book.
"How was your night?" I ask. Trying to get her to talk to me.
"Tommy and I had a good time." America says.
"I am glad that you had a good time."
"Tommy and the band asked me to join the band." America says.
"And you said?"
"Maybe."
"What about Nick, she wants you after the selection."
"So I am not marrying you then?" America asks. She is still looking down at her book. "Kriss is the one?" Wait what?
"I haven't made up my mind."
"So when you make love to me you were just testing if you liked my body? Did you do the same with Kriss? Was she better? Did your father cane her too?" America looks up at me. She looks like she could kill me.
"I never did anything with Kriss besides kiss her!" I yell.
"Whatever." America says like she doesn't care.
"Why are you being like this?"
"Sorry for being upset about you making out with Kriss in front of a bunch of kids. Hannah told me the whole story."
"It was just a small kiss!"
"No it wasn't so stop lying." America gets off the bed.
"What do you want me to say. I am also dating three other people. I am going to kiss them."
"Are you going to have sex with them?" America asks.
"If I want then yes." I say and look at America.
"Did you even mean it?" America asks.
"Mean what?"
"That you loved me!"
"Yes, but I may not able to marry you. I need to make sure I can marry one of the other three!"
"Here let me this easier for you." America steps closer to me. "Prince Maxon I wish to be eliminated." America says. "You need to anyways so I wish it to be me." America says without even breaking down.
"No." I say.
"Who do you love more Maxon, Kriss or me?"
I don't know anymore…
So here it is. What is going to happen? Will America and Maxon be together or will America go t Italy? We will see.
