Second chance

Chapter 9

America's POV:

I wake up and Maxon is still asleep. I get up to go get ready, as I'm getting up he pulls me back into the bed.
"Good morning darling." He said with a smile on his face.
"Good morning!" I said kissing his cheek. He sits up and leans on one arm.
"I have a surprise for you." He says looking so excited. I can't help but smile back.
"What is it?" I asked just as excited as him.
"Well it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you now would it?" he said raising an eyebrow.
"But I thought we wouldn't keep secrets from each other anymore." I said pouting, hoping to make him feel bad.
"Well my dear, secrets and surprises are two different things." He said laughing. I sat up and crossed my arms. He sat up laughing even harder, I slapped him and he started tickling me. I screamed and told him to stop. A guard came in with his gun drawn but Maxon told him that I was safe. I covered my eyes feeling embarrassed.
"Your going to have to get used to that." He told me kissing my forehead.
"I know."  I gave Maxon a quick kiss before going to get ready. My maids put me in a light yellow dress and put my hair into a Dutch braid. I walked back into Maxon's room and saw rose petals from the door that connects our rooms to the balcony. I follow the rose petals and see Maxon on the balcony standing by a table for just the two of us with a huge selection of breakfast on it. I am speechless. He comes over to me and pulls out a chair. He sits down across from me and reached for my hand. "I love you so much America." He says smiling.
"I love you too!" I said returning the smile. He motioned toward the food and I take two strawberry tarts, some eggs, and a few pieces of bacon. Maxon laughs a little.
"What?" I ask with my mouth full of food.
"You and your strawberry tarts."
"Their good." I say with a huge smile on my face. He laughs again and we finish eating.
We finish breakfast and went for a walk in the gardens. Maxon led me to our bench, we sat there and talked for what seemed like only 30 minutes, but was actually 2 hours. Time goes by so fast when I'm with him. We've gone through so many challenges but I'm so glad I'm with him now. Maids bring us lunch in the garden and we finish it almost immediately. Maxon picked me up bridal style and carried me up the stairs to our room. He dropped me on the bed and started kissing me, before we were able to get to to far there was a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" I ask him. He looks at me with at me with a smile and grabs my arm as he goes to the door. It was a guard.
"Your Majesties, the car is waiting outside for you."
"Thank you! We will be right down." Maxon tells the guard. We start walking to the stairs when he picks me up and carries me down the stairs. We get into the car and Maxon pulls me in for a kiss.
"Where are we going? I ask him once we pull away.
"On our honeymoon!" He exclaims. I smile so big. I'm so excited! I can't believe I get to be with Maxon alone by ourselves!
"Where?" I ask about to jump out of my seat.
"To France! The city of love!" He says laughing at my reaction. WAIT! France? Isn't that where Daphne lives? My smile turns into a frown. Maxon takes my hand and squeezes it knowing what I'm thinking about.
"Don't worry about her. If she does anything I'll make her sorry."
"Maxon!" I yell playfully punching him.
"What?" He asked Like he missed something.
"I don't like Daphne, but I don't want you to hurt her!" I say laughing. He laughs back and before we knew it we were at the airport. We got out of the car and saw so many people there. They were cheering and some had signs. As we were going onto the plane they were chanting "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" We looked at each other and shrugged. He pulled me in by the waist and I put my hands around his neck. We pulled away and walked onto the plane.
