I saw those green, emerald eyes I knew so well. Aspen called out "I found Prince Maxon and Lady America!"

Maxon released me as soon as the door opened. We quickly shuffled out and Aspen whispered "Tonight, I have to tell you something"

I quickly nodded before anyone noticed and Maxon escorted me to my room.

"Maxon?" I asked.

"Yes?" he said

"Why were you in my room before the rebel alarm went off?" I questioned.

"Well, after the meeting I had I thought I should pass by your room and watch you sleep it helps me cool down and think" he said shyly looking down clearly embarrassed.

"Watch me sleep?" I said confused.

"Um yes, your relaxed face makes me cool off. Sorry if I creeped you out. I will just go" he blushed furiously.

"No not all. But it was funny watching you get embarrassed."

He planted a kiss on my forehead and I stood my tiptoes and kissed him hard. Realizing I had to meet Aspen I pulled away.

"Goodnight, Maxon sleep well"

I closed the door and decided to give my maids a break and changed my clothes myself. I sat on the bed waiting for Aspen. Right when I closed my eyes the door slowly opened.

"Aspen look I love Maxon. I can't keep this up. I'm sorry. I hope we can still be friends."

"Mer, are you happy with him?"

"Yes Aspen I, love him more than anything else" I said firmly.

He laughed a bit.

"It's okay, Mer. I was going to ask you about um….Lucy"

"Lucy?" I questioned.

"Yeah um…. I was going to ask her on um a date if that's okay with you"

"Aspen of course it's okay. That's great for you! Where were thinking for going?"

" I don't know yet" he said looking down.

I remembered he give all of his paycheck to his family so I opened my drawer and found my envelope of money and went over where Aspen was. I placed it in his hands.

"Mer, I can't accept this"

"Well too bad you are going to use these on Lucy whether you like it or not. Take her to some place nice" I said ending the conversation.

I followed him out of my room where he was stationed for the night.

"Goodnight, Mer and thank you" he whispered.

"Goodnight Officer Leger" I said as I closed the door.

Okay? Okay. Yay! Two chapters in one day.
