"All of this belongs to you. My heart is yours…America." Maxon said.

He was panting really hard. I was breathing heavily too. We both looked at each other and then laughed and again looked at the stars. His eyes were no less than those beautiful stars shimmering in the night sky. Although, we were a lot exhausted but I wanted him to do more of that….

We were close and I could feel his hand brush against my skin but I wanted him to be closer. I wanted him to revel in me and expose all the mysteries that were hidden inside him. I wanted to be aware of them all. His thrilling magnetism was flowing through my body. I thought for a second if he could feel my heart beating which was, I guess, a bit louder. I've never ever in my whole life got such kind of feeling with any other person.

I was craving for his lure. I wanted more of it. I wanted him to feel my every nerve. I wanted him to touch me like has never touched me before….

I was totally OBSESSED with him….

"What's going in your mind, dear." He asked startling me.

I blinked for once and looked at him…surprised at his question.

He really didn't know that I was thinking about him.

"I…um…was just thinking that who could be at the door." I spoke instantly.

"Probably some guard. Let's check it out." he said.

I stood up and took my dress which was torn but I tucked it anyway with the pins that were in my pouch. It looked at least, okay. Maxon grinned at me. By the time I was ready, he was already done.

I started to move and was about to take hold of the door knob when I turned to see Maxon and he stood there with the box in his hand.

I stopped approaching for the doorknob and headed towards Maxon.

"Hey…I need you to tell me…. Are you ready for this?" he brought the box in front of my gaze.

I was totally stunned at the moment.

"I want to tell you that I could spend my whole life with you if you agree to do the same. I could reach out even for the stars if you want…. But, hey…just for once…say it. I need you to tell me how you feel when you are with me." He spoke coming closer.

The buttons of his shirt were open and I couldn't stop looking at the beautifully sculpted chest of him. I found it really hard to pay attention and was trying that he didn't notice me.

I wanted to tell him that he was special…actually extraordinary for me and nobody could ever take his place. But, now, that I have realized the things and I was onto Maxon so, I needed to sort things out with Aspen. It was really essential. His opinion also mattered to me. I needed a ground first. I can't just assume anything.

"I just…." I spoke but stopped in between and he kept looking at me.

I couldn't meet his gaze. I knew that he was hurt. I didn't want to do this. If I would have known this before then, I probably have sorted things out with Aspen beforehand and none of this would have happened. I wish it were so….

I could feel him….the pain and ache which he was feeling right now. He was on the verge of tears but he held them back somehow.

"Maxon…I…." I spoke but he interrupted this time.

"Have I mentioned that how lucky am I to be in love with you? I like it when you smile but I love it when I am the reason. I find piece of you in every song I listen to. I can't wait to spend my whole life with you. The happiest moment in my life would be when you will tell me that you love me too. All I need is you needing me…." He spoke without taking a single breath.

I also wanted to tell him how I felt. I felt like he owned me and I just wanted to be with him. I wanted him to know I was obsessed with him.

"I want you…and I want it to be an 'us'. I want us to be together and I want all of it with you…only you. I love you and nobody can change that…not even TIME…." He spoke a bit louder this time. His eyes were glittering….

They were not glittering but they were tears in his eyes. He was really crying. He held his tears back in his eyes not letting them drop. I felt so stupid for hurting him so much. He stood there still in front of me. I grabbed him and hugged him real tight. At first he didn't hug me….

"Hey…I love you….Maxon….I love you." I whispered in his ear.

He held me back and looked me in the eye. Now the tears were out of his eyes and I wiped them gently with my eyes. He held me back again and hugged me with as much power he could use to make me get attached to him. I could feel his heart racing. At that moment, I felt like never leaving him. I wanted this moment to save in my heart and replay it whenever I want. He seemed so strong and brave who will protect me from everything that may come up in my life. He put his chin on my head and we were beyond closer. We stood there like that for some time. Then, he took me in front. He was smiling at me and instantly he took me in a kiss….

We both looked at each other and then laughed.

"What was holding you back?" he asked.

"I was just….afraid." I spoke.

I knew that it was pointless. I wasn't afraid of anything. All I worried was about Aspen, but now I will explain it to him.

"You don't have to be afraid…as long as I love you. I promise that you'll be safer than ever with me. And still, if you get scared:

Look me in the eyes, hold me a bit tighter and smile…because I will never ever leave you." He spoke holding me and I giggled.

"I will never have enough of you…." I spoke looking him in the eye.

He chuckled, "I also…never."

"I still remember our first meeting, when I looked into your eyes and my entire world slipped. I have looked at you in millions of ways and I have loved you in each and will love forever." He spoke looking at me like he was lost.

He held me and I felt like I was about to fall.

"I just want to hug you so much right now…." I spoke grabbing him into my arms. I wanted him to grab me as much tightly as he could and do anything and everything that he wanted with me.

My heart was his….

My soul was his….

He completely possessed me.
