The Couple- short novel based of the Selection Series

Chapter 2 The Honeymoon

I woke up feeling so tired. I looked next to me and saw Maxon sleeping. He looked so handsome asleep. I kissed him and hugged him so hard. I lay their hugging him.

"Well good morning my love." he whispered.

"Yes it is a good morning." I whispered back.

I looked around the room. It was so gorgeous. We were on an island. The island was made for me, literally. Maxon bought this little land that was an island and named it The America Isles. He had people build the best vacation house ever here before he even knew me. It was so sweet, and cheesy at the same time. He got out of bed and left the room. I called, "Maxon, what are you doing?"

"I am doing nothing, don't move a muscle, just lay their and relax."

I obeyed. I waited for 20 minutes. Finally he came back and went into the bathroom. He turned the shower on and pulled something out of the closet. He looked at me watching him from our bed. He shook his head, smiled, and closed the bathroom door. I could hear him doing something in there. Finally he came out and and left the bedroom again. A minute later he came back with a note. He handed it to me a left, again. I opened the note and it said to come to the kitchen and come eat your wonderful breakfast made by your amazing husband and then go sit on the deck and watch the sunrise and the ocean waves. I walked toward the kitchen, Maxon was waiting for me in, still in only his boxers. I laughed and he pulled out a chair for me. He pushed me in as I sat down.

"Maxon, thank you for this but you di-"

"No, America, I did. This has to be special so don't be thanking me yet. There is more to this day. If our Honeymoon can only be two days, we have to make it special. So that is what I am doing. okay? So how was last night? Boring? Fun? Did you feel okay on the plane, you looked a little woozy?"

"Okay. and fine. and The Wedding was spectacular, so was the cake, and the reception. It was really fun. And after that, you were there I think you'd know.

We both laughed.

"Oh and Maxon, I forgot to say one thing, I Love You."

"I know. I love you too America."

I sat on the deck, watching the waves crash on the shore. It was so beautiful out. Maxon, who was only wearing a towel, finally came outside after 15 minutes.

"Okay follow me into the bathroom, we need to get you ready for the day."

As we approached the door, I looked inside. It surely is a beautiful bathroom. I stepped inside and walked around. An absolutely gorgeous dress was hung next to a marvelous suit. On a piece of paper attached two both outfits, read:

FOR THE WAY BACK TO THE CASTLE -Lucy

If that's for tomorrow then what shall i wear today. Lucy did say she only made me one gown for the honeymoon. Hmm.

"America, as you know that is for tomorrow, today's clothes are behind you to the right." Maxon told me. I looked and found today's clothes. Mine was a strapless, light blue, lace dress that probably ended a little after my bottom. It looked so comfy. Maxon's clothes were just a plain, blue, long sleeve, button down shirt, with white long pants. How perfect. I turned back around and Maxon dropped his towel as he went into the shower that a baby elephant could bathe in it was so big. I striped down a joined him.

After our shower, and getting dresses and ready. We walked down to the beach. Maxon grabbed out his camera, and we took so many pictures. Pictures of the sky, the trees, the house, the beach, each other. our left hands, everything. It was so much fun just to be silly and just relax. We put the cameras back inside and changed into something else. I put on something called a bikini. It was like a water resistant bra and panties. Maxon put on these shorts that were also water resitent and sort of like his boxers. we ran into the ocean and splashed each other.

"America you look gorgeous. Oh look the sun is setting. Wow this day went by fast dear."

"Thank you Maxon, you look handsome yourself. The sunset is so pretty Maxon. And I don't want this day to end."

"Well me either but unless you have a time stopper machine or something I guess it has to."

"Maxon, when do we have to leave tomorrow?"

"I believe about noon, the jet will arrive to take us back."

"I love this island."

" Me too, well when our first born comes, we can plan a day vacation to come visit and show them outside the castle. If you would like,"

"I would love."

"Well let's hope it will be soon dear. We should go inside and hurry that process up."

"Maxon!" I scream sarcastically.

So with that we went inside and got ready for the night. Maxon made me dinner and we had another amazing night. The next day I woke up alone and wandered to the kitchen where Maxon was sitting waiting for me. We ate, showered, got dressed, and waited. Then at last we jetted back to the castle and were welcomed home, with a surprise, we didn't even know about yet.
