One Of A Kind Maxon X Reader

14. The First Date

I sighed sadly as Marlee kept glancing around, trying to spot America's red, flaming hair.

Marlee finally looked down after realizing America wasn't here anymore. Her eyes glistened with tears as she ate her remaining food, chewing slowly.

I sighed again and looked at Maxon, who looked very distressed.

   I purposely dropped my fork, making a loud clanking sound.

   "Oops," I said, looking at Maxon.

   He looked up from his food and smiled at me.

   I smiled back and looked back to my food, shoving a piece of cheesecake in my mouth. Being very ladylike in the process, of course.

   I heard a chuckle, and I looked up to see Maxon laughing.

   Maxon cleared his throat and stood up, making all the girls look at him.

   "Ladies, I am pretty sure that you all are enjoying your breakfast, and I am very sorry to interrupt you, but..." He glanced at me, making me confused.

   "I have a proclamation for Lady Y/N," he said, smiling at everyone.

   All the other girls shot me looks, but their looks quickly disappeared as Maxon cleared his throat again.

   "What's your proclamation, Your Highness?" I asked, sitting up taller in my seat.

   He smirked and cocked his head to the side. "If I stop calling you 'dear'... will you do a favor for me?" he said, crossing his arms.

   I blinked and pursed my lips. "It depends on what your favor is," I responded.

   A few girls gasped, some of them whispering about how disrespectful I was.

   Maxon smiled widely. "My favor is for you to go on a date with me. Is that alright for you, my dear?"

   I stood up and smiled at him. "Of course," I said, curtsying gracefully.

   Marlee squealed, making the other girls glare at her.

   "Fantastic! I will come by your room at about six o' clock. Is that a good time, my lady?" he said.

   I nodded. "Perfect, actually."

   The king and queen exchanged a knowing look as Maxon happily sat down, smiling.

   "Perfect."

Time Skipeu~

   Layla, Evelyn, and Fawn all scurried around the room, preparing me for the date with Maxon.

   "Is this dress alright?" Fawn asked Layla. 

   Layla looked at it for a second before waving it off, and Evelyn came with another one. It also got rejected.

   Layla came towards me and ushered me into the bathroom. "Come on, Miss, we will help you take your bath," she said.

   I looked at the clock in confusion. "But it's only four o' clock..." My voice trailed off as Layla whined.

   "Exactly, Miss! It's already four! Come on, you will be late for your date! Hey, that rhymes... Anyways, Miss, we have to hurry!"

   I opened my mouth to respond, but Layla pushed me into the bathroom and turned the tub on, putting some scents and rose petals in it.

   "Layla!" Fawn said, "is this dress okay?"

   Fawn came in holding a light peach dress with flowers on the bottom. (Once again, I am very bad at descriptions... I'm sorry.) 

   Layla looked at it for a few seconds before nodding enthusiastically. "Yes! That's perfect! Thank you, Fawn," she said.

   Fawn nodded and went out of the bathroom quickly before returning with some jewelry.

   Evelyn came in right after with some perfume and towels.

   Layla started pushing me towards the tub, and I stripped off my clothes before sliding in the tub, the warm water covering me.

   I smiled and closed my eyes for a few moments. "You know," I said, "you guys are the best. Thank you," I said, smiling gently.

   "No, thank you, Miss. Without you, we would probably still be working in the kitchen," Evelyn said, bowing.

   Fawn also bowed. "Because of you, Miss, I'm less shy and introverted. Thank you for that."

   Layla smiled softly and bowed. "Thank you for everything you've done, Miss!"

   I smiled at all three of them and stood up in the tub. Evelyn immediately gave me a towel, and I wrapped it around me.

   Layla gave me my dress and undergarments, and they stepped out of the room to let me change.

Time Skip... Again

   A knock came at the door followed by a call for me. 

   "Coming!" Fawn said, dashing towards the door.

   "Whoa! Hello there," Maxon said, chuckling. "Is Lady Y/N here?"

   Fawn stepped aside, and Maxon came in, stopping in his tracks when he came near me.

   I immediately felt conscious. "Is everything okay?" I said, a little worried.

   Maxon shook his head and smiled. "No, no, it's just that..." 

   "What?" I asked, trying to cover myself by crossing my arms across my stomach.

   "You look beautiful," he said, coming closer to me and grabbing my hands gently.

   I blushed a bright red and looked away, a little embarrassed.

   Maxon grabbed my chin tenderly and made me look at him, making me blush even more.

   "Don't hide your beautiful face from mo, my love. It's adorable when you blush because of me," he said, leaning in and kissing the tip of my nose.

   I opened my mouth and looked at everywhere in the room except for him. My face heated up even more, and I started to count silently in my head to calm me down.

   Maxon chuckled and leaned back, taking a step away from me. He grabbed my hand and looked back at the trio.

   "We'll be back before midnight, I promise," Maxon said, dragging me out of my room.

   I was still in shock, and I looked at Maxon. "You..." I blushed when I looked at him.

   I felt him kiss my cheek, and I snapped my head towards him. "Did you just-"

   "What if I did? What are you gonna do about it, dear?"

   "Hey! You said you wouldn't call me that anymore!" I exclaimed, pointing at him. 

   He grabbed my hand again and intertwined our fingers, smiling brightly. "Well... I forgot." 

   I shook my head and moved closer to him, feeling a little chilly due to the strong air conditioning in the palace.

   "It's kinda hard to forget a part of a deal that you made," I stated, letting go of his hand and grabbing his arm instead, making it look more formal.

   Maxon smiled softly. "Well, I was just so... excited, you know? I've never been on a date before. Especially with a beautiful girl like you," he said.

   I looked at him and smiled. "And I've never been on a date with such a charming guy like you."

   "Well," Maxon said, "I guess we both gave each other a lot of firsts."

   I blushed and went on my tiptoes, kissing him on the cheek. "And I'm glad for that."
