Second chance

Chapter 14

America's POV:

When we got to our destination the driver came around and opened the door for us.
"Right this way darling." Maxon said placing his hand on my lower back. He walked me into a little store with a bunch of little souvenirs.
"Look around, you might find something you'd like." He whispered in my ear.
"Really?" I whispered back
"Pick anything you want." He said smiling
I returned the smiled and ran to one section of the store. He went to the other side of the store and looked. I found a charm bracelet with a camera, the France flag, the Eiffel Tower, and a heart. I tried it on and it fit perfectly. Maxon walked up to me and put an arm around my waist.
"Find anything?" He asked
"Yup!" I said showing him the bracelet.
He smiled and walked me to the counter to pay. As we walked out of the store I realized he didn't get anything.
"You didn't get anything?"
"Uh-no" he said
"Oh ok." We walked down town for a bit until it became lunch. We walked into a restaurant and were seated almost immediately. When we sat down the waitress came up to us jumping up and down. She was a young blond girl, probably about 16.
"H-hi y-your highness. What c-can I get for y-you today?" She asked stuttering through every word.
"Two ice tea's please." Maxon told her.
"Of c-course. Would you like t-to order your m-meal yet?" She asked. Me and Maxon looked at each other before nodding at her. I ordered a chicken salad and Maxon ordered chicken Alfredo.
"Will t-that be all?"
"Yes" I told her.
"Ok it should be o-out shortly. B-but can I get a picture p-please?" She asked really shy.
"Of course!" I told her. She took out a mini camera and took a picture.
"Thanks! Your f-food should be r-ready soon!" She curtsied and ran off.
"That was interesting." Maxon said holding in a laugh.
"Ya it was." I said also trying to hold in a laugh.
I'm having so much fun with Maxon. I can't believe we are actually married! I lost my train of thought when the same waitress comes with the food. As soon as she walks away me and Maxon take a bite. He looks like he is enjoying his food so I reach over to his plate and take a forkful of his Alfredo.
"Hey! That's mine!"
"Why can't you share?" I asked with puppy-dog-eyes. He chuckled and took a bite of my salad. I glared at him.
"What I thought you said we could share!" He used my defense against me. We finished up our lunch talking between each bite. I was just about to leave when Maxon stopped me. He whispered something to the waitress and she nodded as she walked away.
"What was that for?" I asked with suspicion
"Oh nothing." He told me.
He told me to sit back down. I don't know why, if we already finished. We waited for a good 5 minutes before the waitress came out with 2 strawberry tarts. I looked at Maxon, he was smiling so big as he saw my reaction. She set down the plate and scurried away. I picked one up and bit into it. I closed my eyes with delight.
Maxon laughed and picked up the other one. When we were done we walked out of the restaurant to the car waiting for us. The driver opened the door when he saw us coming.

We got back to the beach house within 30 minutes. But during those 30 minutes I fell asleep. Probably from all of the walking. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder and a soft voice in my ear.
"Sweetheart we're here." Maxon whispered waking me up. I opened my eyes and smiled not really processing what was happening. I think he knew that I was still half asleep because he picked me up bridal style and carried me inside. He laid me down on the bed and sat next to me stroking my hair.

I wake up around dinner time really hungry. I reach over to get Maxon's attention but he wasn't there. I open my eyes to make sure. He wasn't in the room. So I went to the kitchen, the living room, I even checked the bathroom, but he wasn't anywhere. I was actually starting to get worried. I went outside and heard someone talking. I went around the house and saw Daphne kissing Maxon. His hands were on her shoulders. I felt so betrayed. Why was Daphne here? Has Maxon been lying to me? I was done with all of this Daphne drama! I was done. I ran inside back to the room and curled myself up on the bed, hugging a pillow. I couldn't stop crying.
I can't believe he would do this to me! I kept trying to think why he would be kissing Daphne. Again! This is our honeymoon! Daphne needs to just stay away! It wasn't long before Maxon came back inside.
"Darling what's wrong?" He asked sounding so innocent. I didn't say anything.
He came over to the bed and wrapped me into a hug. I jerked out of the hug and saw that he looked hurt.
"America, please tell me what's wrong."
"ITS YOU! YOUR WHAT'S WRONG!"
"What did I do?" He asked trying to stay calm.
"OH MY GOSH MAXON! DON'T ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN YOU CLEARLY WERE JUST MAKING OUT WITH DAPHNE!" I screamed, tears streaming down my face. He looked shocked. I didn't wait for him to say anything.
"WAS THIS WHOLE THING JUST A LIE! ARE YOU TRYING TO HURT ME? I TRUSTED YOU WHEN YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T LOVER HER! NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK!" I was done trying to hide my rage. I was so mad at him.
"America! I don't know what you saw, but it meant nothing to me!" He said raising his voice. I couldn't stop the tears. They just kept coming down my face.
"YOU DIDN'T ASNWER MY QUESTION! WHY WERE YOU KISSING HER?"
"I DIDN'T! She kissed me!" He said yelling this time.
"Really?" I asked really annoyed.
"WELL AT LEAST I DON'T CHEAT!"
"You didn't-" I hissed
"I did!"
"Your a jerk!" I yelled back.
"WELL IF I'M A JERK WHY DID YOU MARRY ME?"
"I DON'T KNOW!" I yelled. I see the hurt in his eyes and immediately turn away knowing what I just said.
"Maxon I-I didn't-"
He took off his wedding ring and scowled at me.
I couldn't take it anymore. I ran out of the room and outside to the beach. I kept running till my legs gave out. We have had multiple arguments about Daphne and every time I forgive him, but this time I don't think I can.

If you didn't like that I made another argument about Daphne I can redo this chapter, but I thought that we needed a big argument. I hope you liked it and I promise I won't leave you on a cliffhanger for long.
