Hey lovelies sorry for the long wait but I had a question for you guys about this story. How to you want it to end? With a wedding? With kids? With a sequel? Cliffhanger? Something totally unexpected? Let me know and I would love to hear some of your ideas for dates for Cameron and Milena.
Love Mackenzie

The next 2 weeks seemed to go by so slow. We were down to 5 girls me, Rose, Juliet, Kim and Laura. They were all really nice but I missed Mzia and Katie.
Because of the attack we aren't allowed outside as much so my jumping lessons with Cameron were done for now. My ankle is all better now and I'm back to high heels. Cameron's been really busy lately I've only seen him during meals. I guess he is under a lot of pressure to choose a wife. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to see the girls get taken off on dates. Before I was selected I just thought it was an opportunity to see how the others live, but now I don't want to leave. I think I'm falling in love with Cameron.
The sky was a beautiful purple, the wind was blowing but other than that it was quiet. I hummed a song my mom taught me when I was little Leaving on a Jet Plane, as I brushed Jazz. The song reminded me of home. I missed home but the palace was just so amazing.
Rachel walked into the stables and interrupted my thought.
"Miss Milena, it's getting late I need to escort you to back to your room."
I put Jazz away, before following Rachel to my room. I got ready for bed but instead of going to sleep I read my new favorite book "Les Miserable". It was helping with my French which I had greatly improved since my arrival. By the time I put down the book it was already pitch black out. I put it down on my bedside table beside a little framed picture of mom, dad and me.
Sundays were relaxing at the palace I usually spend my whole day in the woman's room reading and studying. Silvia was so excited to learn that I wanted to speak French she supplied me with lots of stuff to help.
Since it was Sunday I decided to wear a simple pink day dress with lace overlay. All us girls were sitting on the couches talking and watching sappy romance movies. When the doors opened and a maid walked in, she came over and handed me a note before curtsying and leaving. The girls all looked at me expectantly. I opened the note slowly.
Meet me in the dining room in 10 minutes
It doesn't say who it's from but I know exactly who it is. "Well I'll guess I'll be seeing you ladies later"
I got up and walked out of the women's room towards the dining room. I stepped into the room and closed the door behind me. Cameron came up and wrapped his arms around me pulling me close to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck. We just stood there for a while holding each other. When we finally pulled apart, Cameron gave me a kiss on the cheek and grasped my hand.
"So someone told me that you wanted to learn how to bake a cake so I thought that maybe that we could do it together." He said with a smile as he led me down stairs to the kitchens.
He led me to a little room off the side where we had everything we could possibly need to make and decorate a cake. "This is perfect!" I whispered in his ear. There was a pile of cook books in the corner. I walked over and grabbed the top 3 and sat down on one of the stools. I flipped through the book trying to find a recipe. I found a champagne and strawberry cake that looked good, while Cameron found a hot chocolate cake with homemade marshmallows. We couldn't decide on which one to do so we decided to have a competition. We would have 2 hours to bake and decorate the cakes and then the cooks would taste them and decide the winner.
The timer started I got right into it. After I put my cake in the oven for 30 minutes I looked over at Cameron who was pouring his cake batter into the pan. He put his pan in the oven, I slowly tip toed up behind with a hand full of flour in my hand. I dropped it all on his head, he turned around and wrapped his arms around me and shook his head sending flour everywhere.
I giggled, "Cameron stop!" I was covered in flour. "Look at the mess you made, its everywhere", I couldn't stop laughing.
"You are beautiful" he said, leaning in. He gave me the faintest of kisses
We started cleaning up and making the icings while the cakes cooked and cooled. We talked the whole time. I finished my cake with 5 minutes to spare it looked good light pink frosting with some strawberries on top. Cameron was running around the little room trying to finish his cake it looked ok but mine was definitely better.
We grabbed our cakes and brought them out to the kitchen we placed them on the table on front of everyone in the kitchen. One by one each cook and maid came by and tasted our cakes. Cameron and stood off to the side watching everyone. They seemed to be enjoying them everyone was laughing and having fun, they all had 2 pieces of paper on pink and one brown to vote for the winner. Slowly everyone handed in their votes. The head chef took the voting box and went into his office to count the votes.
"We never discussed what the prize is", Cameron says.
"What did you have in mind?" I asked wrapping my arms around him.
"Well what if I win you have to do whatever I want to tomorrow and if you win I have to do whatever you want.
"Deal", I said right as the head chef walks into the room.
"So I've calculated the results and the winning cake is …. Milena!"
Yay! I won. "Now you have to do anything I want tomorrow" I said with a smile.
