America Stitches Her Name in Maxon's Heart

The lunch

"Yes?" I turn back around to face him. "So you're always working when do you have time to eat?" he asks. "Umm well I don't sometimes and other times I'll sneak in a snack, " I say softly. His face falls. "Really it's okay, " I insist. He nods. "So where in the basement do you work?" he asks. "I have a quite large room down the left hallway. It's the only room to the left actually. It's usually just me in there but every morning at 10:00 my assistants come in to make the garment bags and boxes I need and they take out the trash and clean, " I explain. "Okay..." his voice drifts off. "I must be off. I have gowns and suits to make for the German royal family, " I say. I roll the rack out of his room and back down to the basement. I stay up all night to finish the German's outfits. I work on the jewelry all morning. I place the last of the Queen's jewelry and crowns into the velvet boxes and I get to work on the shoes. A knock comes at my door-which is weird because the people that come down here just yell from outside the door or just walk in. I look over in the mirror and my hairs a mess there are pins in my clothes from when I was sewing and I don't have any makeup on(not that I wear a lot, to begin with) and I look exhausted. I don't have time to clean up so I yell, "Come in!" anyway. I'm picking up the queen's heels and I out them in a clear case. I turn back around to see Maxon. Oh my gosh. The prince is down here and I look like this. "Oh, your highness!" I exclaim surprised. "Please call me Maxon, " he says. "Is something wrong with the suit?" I ask. "No! It's perfect...that's not why I'm here, " he says. "Oh why are you here then?" I ask. He pulls out two paper bags from behind his back. "I brought your favorite. After how you raved about Raising Cane's I figured I had to try some too while I was ordering, " he says. He says while I put the pins had on my sewing tool belt back in the pincushion magnet. I pull down my hair from the messy bun and I pull it back into a neat ponytail. "Awww Maxon you really shouldn't have, " I say. "You need to eat, " he says. "Come sit, " I say inviting him over to the two chairs on the area rug with a coffee table in between. We talk and eat. "So what did you think?" I ask. "That was delicious, " he says. "I told you, " I yawn. "Did you not sleep well?" he asks. "Ummm, " I hesitate. "America?" he inquires. "I didn't sleep. With the ball being moved to in 2
days and the Germans coming tomorrow I have to finish everything today, " I say. "Why don't you let us hire you help?" he asks. "No it's just faster to do it by myself, " I say. He nods. I get up and start putting the shoes on the bottom shelf of the clothing rack and the jewelry on top. Then I hang all of the garment bags with all of the clothes in them. I pull my hair up into a bun. "Sorry your Highness but I have to put these in the wardrobes in the room the Germans will be using, " I say. "I can help if you like, " he offers. "That's quite alright. It's my job and all, " I say rolling the cart out of the room. I put everything into their rooms and I go into the room I work in the basement and I open up one of the doors that lead out of that room. One leads into my room. I lay down and fall asleep.
