OH A I APOLOGIZE FOR MY WRITING IF MY COUNTRY ROOTS SHOW THROUGH!

I felt a tingling on my lips and a sweet gentle touch, but it didn't stay that way for long. It quickly turned passionate and hard. His arms were around me getting tighter. I was shock I didn't know what to do. With my back against the wall, i was almost trapped. My mind was racing, i wanted to kiss him, but i knew i shouldn't. I would only show affection to Maxon and this wasn't him, Maxon kissed me like i was a flower, so soft and delicate. No, there was only one person who would kiss me this way, Aspen.

Once i realized it i yelled, "NO, stop!" I pushed him away, "Aspen i told you i can't do this" walking away I started to feel the wall for the light switch. I couldn't find it. I heard him breathe in deep and let it out slowly. Ignoring it i kept on looking. I was too busy looking to notice the figure before me, he was tall, too tall. Then i knew. This wasn't Aspen.

"Aspen?!" he responded, and my heart stopped. His voice was shaking and tinted with anger "Who the heck is Aspen?"

I didn't know what to say, i stuttered "I-i-i, U-h, Maxon darling, th-" he stopped me, "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" he yelled, i felt tears in my eyes, "What makes you think that i am still your darling after you thought i was another man. A man you would allow to kiss you that way?!" Then i lost it.

Tears streaming down my cheek, i slid down the wall and curled into a ball. I looked up to see this beautiful brown eyes staring at me, full of hurt and pain. I tried to speak, but he just shushed me with a finger and picked me up. He carried me to our bench in the gardens and sat me down.

"Maxon," he turned his head away from me, trying to hide the tears. "Look at me," i sweetly whispered, putting a finger to his cheek and pushed his head to face me. "This is not it seems, you have to trust me," I cringed wishing to take back the work as i said it .

"TRUST?!" he quietly yelled, "Why should I trust you? You lost my trust already, and just when i start to give it back you do this!"

"MAXON!" this time i am the one yelling, "Aspen was my OLD boyfriend, the one i told you about. He came he as a guard to the place, the very one you put at my room to guard. I was afraid if it told you, that you would send him away or that he would lose his job at the palace and i didn't want that. However, i also didn't want you thinking i still had feelings for him."

I stopped to take a breath when he cut in, "have you kissed him since you were here?" Oh God, why did he ask that?"

I sighed, closed my eyes and mumbled "Yes." With that answer he got up from the bench and started pacing, but i continued, "but Maxon it was only a one time thing, and i was angry, hurt, and mad at you. I know, i shouldn't have done it. I regret it now but i can't change it. I thought you were him because, well i couldn't find him, and i needed to talk to him. About a month had gone by when i saw him just a few nights ago. He didn't want to just talk but i did, i had to tell him something, once i told him he was angry, but he is not the type to give up easily. So, since i had hurt you recently, and we haven't spent much time together, yes that is my fault but, i figured it was him,"

"Really, what did you tell him that he couldn't accept?" he asked a bit sarcastically but more hurt.

"I told him that we were over," i stopped, "and that i wanted you."

He stopped pacing, and looked at me. He looked deeply into my eyes and then broke the gaze. I wanted to run up and let him hold me, but i knew now was a bad time. I was about to say something when he walked back inside without saying a word.

I ran to my room, and jumped into my bed and sobbed into my pillow. As soon as my pillow was soaked with my tears there was a knock at the door, the maid handed me a letter it had Maxon's hand writing on it.

I didn't want to read the letter, i was positive it was saying that i was a traitor. To not only the country but to his heart as well. Still I opened the letter, i read it slowly while my heart dropped and melted at the same time.
