The dates with Hayden and Blaze were kinda monotonous and so I knew whom to dismiss. After eliminating them I walked back to my room
"Sir Aspen had come to see you America. "Lucy said taking the pins out of my hair.
"Yeah.... What did he say. "I say trying to sound less enthusiastic in front of my maids but it crept in anyways.
"Awwww.... Look at you. "Anne said checking the water temperature.
I just smiled and relaxed myself in the bath. The hot water unknotted the muscles in my back and my mind was at peace. I went out wearing my pyjamas and silk shirt which was aqua blue in colour. I saw Aspen sitting on my bed smirking. My maids were not there.
"Hey.... "I mumbled blushing hard.
He came closer and put his cheek against mine. His nose hit the soft space behind my ear and he inhaled deeply.
"Ahhh..... You smell good. "He said his voice vibrating against my skin. I wound my arm around his neck.
"Yeah.... Mister. "I replied biting my lip. He stared at me with his amazing green irises and kissed my forehead.
"Good night beautiful."He whispered before leaving.
I was dazed for a second and then fell on my bed laughing giddily.

I woke up next morning the sunlight streaming through the blue velvet curtains. I rubbed my eyes and then his memory clouded my mind. Ughhhh America stop daydreaming.
That's when there was a knock on the door. I was in a very blithe mood so I was beaming with joy. It was Maxon. His blonde hair was messy and his shirt buttons were open. He. Had. A. Very. Hot. Body.
It was all tanned and abs.
"Hiya.... Morning Maxon. "I said a teeny tiny bit excited.
"Hey America. Morning."He said in a sexy voice.
"Hey.... Max. "I replied kissing his cheek. So cute.
"Will you uh.... Go out with moi "He asked putting on a French accent.
I giggled and put my lips to his ears.
"Sure."I reply kissing his cheek again.
He hugged me.
"See you soon. "He says and then walks away.
I put on a pair of jeans and a yellow top with a cute white bow.
He was waiting for me wearing a red flannel shirt and jeans.
"Movie. What Happened in Vegas. "He said two bags of popcorn in his hand.
I laughed and we went into the room which had a 55 inch TV. He slipped the DVD inside the DVD player and the movie started.
Half of the time I was staring at his handsome face, his sharp jawline, how funny he was and how he laughed at the right moment. Well the movie ended after two hours and it was almost noon.
"Thank you. I loved it."I said hugging him.
"I had fun too. "He replied walking away.
The way he talked it didn't seem like he was a Two.
America you are in deep shit.
Aspen or Maxon
Selflessness or playfulness
Passion or fun
Confidence or bashful.
I was just walking around when I bumped into Aspen who was as always wearing shirts with full sleeves. He had such a fit body.
"Hey.... I wanna take you somewhere."He whispered in my ear.
"Where?"
"Just come"He mumbled taking my hand and walking towards the palace doors. We went and I knew where we were going. The beach. It was very pretty with aqua blue water which looked like liquid crystals and there were many cliffs and the white sand with sea shells."Wow! "I said standing on the edge of the cliff and spreading my arms under the sunlight. It felt warm on my face which was a good feeling.
"I know right. "He said hugging me from the back. I giggled and we sat down our legs dangling from the edge.
"Why do you wear these full sleeves shirts. I bet you have amazing biceps. "I say laughing a bit and playing with the hem of his sleeve.
He shrugged his expression guarded.
"You okay?"I asked putting my hand on top of his.
He gave me a small smile and then sighed as his gaze focused on an invisible spot in the horizon. His eyes looked like transparent orbs of emeralds.
He was beautiful. I noticed that he was sweating. It was a very hot day.I tried to pull his sleeves up but he just pulled his hand away.
"Don't do that ever! "He screamed getting up.
"Okay. Okay. What's wrong?"I breathed out putting my hand on his shoulder.
His eyes were filled with panic and anxiety.
We sat again.
"Please."I said lacing my fingers with his.
He sighed and I waited for a few seconds before he calmed down and spoke.
"I don't know how.... I should explain this to you. I mean..... "His voice broke. This was a whole new Aspen.
"Its okay.... go on."I replied.
He pulled his sleeves up and I saw cuts and scars on his wrist.
I gently ran my finger on the ridges of his skin and then looked at him. They were cut in such a way that it would inflict pain but not kill him. He hurt himself.
"Why?"I whispered holding his wrist.
"After Dad died I didn't know what to do. I was under so much pressure. Ma and then my siblings. I could barely keep my family afloat. I tried my best to help my family skim through life and live easily. I think I am not working hard enough."
His last few words were a whispered rush. He was crying and my heart was breaking listening to him.
"I am sorry."He muttered wiping his cheeks.
"Have you ever been kissed."I asked looking straight into his eyes.
I crawled onto his lap so I was straddling him.
He moved his arm around my waist and leaned his forehead against mine smiling now.
"No..... except that one time when a girl named Brenna.-"
I cut him off before lowering my lips to his. He kissed me back passionately and then moved his hand to hug me close to him still not breaking the kiss.
"So first kiss huh"I asked kissing him again.
"Uh huh. "He replied nuzzling his nose with mine.Guys this is a Maxerica fanfic. I promise. ❤💖
