Hello!
I'm Leah and this is my first Fanfiction piece ever.
I have been a fan of Fanfictions since the tragic ending of Allegiant and after years of reading some awesome stories, I've been inspired to write my own. And of course, my first Fanfiction would have to be a Divergent based story.
This story is a modern A/U because those are my favorites. This story is currently rated T but will most likely be moved to rated M due to language and sexual content.
I haven't decided on the route of this story but I am hoping that with reviews and inspiration this story will take its course. Please comment and review as I would love feedback and I am definitely open to criticism because we must all take the good with the bad.
It goes without saying that I do not own any rights for divergent, its characters or any brands etc., that I might mention in this story.
A vacation finally! I didn't think twice when Christina talked me into celebrating my graduation from NYU with my Masters in Counseling, out of the states. I have worked two long years after undergrad to achieve this goal. There were many sleepless nights, long classes and under paid internships, so I deserve this vacation.
I was hesitant at first when Christina offered to plan everything (because she knew I was swamped with job hunting, capstone and my jobs while also packing to move back home to Boston to be closer to my family and friends) but I must admit that a trip to the Bahamas was definitely a great choice.
"Tris! Of course you needed 5 bikinis! We will be here for 8 days! In fact, 5 might be too little!" Christina waves her arms with bikini tops and bottoms in her hands.
Multi colored straps and stings flinging everywhere. "ok, ok Chris, I get it you are gonna whip yourself in the eye with one of those bra straps".
"Great! Now put this yellow one on and lets go to the beach!" Christina squeals.
We step on to the beach and it is something out of a travelers catalog. The water is crystal blue and the sand it soft and almost an off white. There is a beautiful bar with stools and all the bottles of vodka, gin, and tequila you can imagine.
It is about noon time and although we landed only a couple of hours ago we decide to waste no time and order lunch while we lounge in the cabana assigned to our hotel room. I order a jerk salmon salad that is the most amazing thing I have ever had. Chris orders the lemon chicken, which she is devouring. We order some drinks because I mean we are on vacation, so why not.
Christina ordered her signature drink of an Appletini. I ordered my favorite a Lemon Drop Martini.
By 3pm we decide that we have been in the sun long enough and definitely have had enough martinis, so we head back to our hotel rooms to rest and clean up before dinner and a night out. I personally would prefer a low-key night but I know Christina and she would never let us stay in on our first night in this beautiful resort.
Its 7pm and I have enjoyed the past three hours, taking a bubble bath, reading and taking a small nap. I decide to head over to Christian's room which is connected to my room. We were originally going to share a room with double beds but somehow we got upgraded to a suite with two rooms by mistake and the hotel was nice enough to let us keep it at no extra charge unless someone requests this suite or there is a double bed room available.
I knock on Christians door and she yells "Open!" I open the door to find her applying her lipstick and she looks gorgeous.
"Trisy you look great in that summery pink baby doll dress and that high bun? Gorg!" she says while looking at me through the mirror.
Christina packed for me so most of the outfits I brought are cute with a bit much. I don't mind it as much because I make them work to fit more of my toned down style.
"Thanks Chrisy, you look great too, now hurry I am so hungry." I have to do a bit of whining to get her going.
When we get to the restaurant the place is packed and we have to wait for the hostess to find us a table. It is a five star restaurant, which has great reviews, and if the amount of people here is any indication of that, then we are in for an awesome meal.
Chris says she is going to do a make up check and I decide to wait for our table to be freed at the bar.
I squeeze myself between two people and try to place my order. Since I'm not so tall I stand on the foot rests of the bar and try to get the bartenders attention.
"Excuse me?." I try to call while keeping my balance. He just continues to serve the drinks on the other side of the bar. He walks this way but doesn't look at me.
There is so much chatter, so I speak a bit louder "excuse me?" nothing.
"Excuse me!" He glances up but continues to cut some garnishes. " Excuse me can I get a lemon drop!" He doesn't even look up this time.
A deep voice cuts through all the noise "Hey bartender, two lemon drops!"
I look up to my right to see tan broad shoulders in a blue and white tank top.
I didn't notice there was a man beside me. Was he there the whole time? And is he trying to take me turn?! Oh he better not be!
I realize I am staring at his chest and shoulders for too long so I continue to guide my vision upwards to his face. His face is just as good as the tan shoulders.
He has these dark blue eyes, which are the first things I noticed, then his full lips.
Out of nowhere the bartender approaches with the lemon drops. Blue eyes reaches for the glasses, and in a stern voice say to the bartender "it's on the Four tab." The bartender quickly walks away to input something in the computer.
He hands me over one of the martini glasses of lemon drop. "Here you go, sorry about that, sometimes these bartenders forget majority of their pay comes from tips" he chuckles as he says this and I smile back.
"So a lemon drop huh, didn't think it was a martini, figured it was just a shot or something." He says while examining the other martini glass in front of him.
"Nope it's a martini, my favorite actually." I'm shocked by how easy the words just came out "you didn't have to do that though, put it on the room 4 tab."
"I didn't, I put it on my tab." ugh that smile "Hi, I'm four."Four? He extends his hand and in my head I swear this is all happening in slow motion. I extend my hand and shake his.
"I'm Tris." I have questions as to why his name is four but I decided against asking, as I feel like I've already said a lot yet not enough to this beautiful man.
"Nice to meet you, are you staying in the hotel?" He asks as he gives me another knee-weakening smile.
" I am, just got here, on vacation. You?" I watch as he takes a sip of the martini which he then nods and shrugs his shoulders.
"This is actually not bad, but same, I have been here for a few days with some friends, would you like to join us at our table?" As soon as he said friends, I remembered about my friend, my best friend Christina! which I just left alone to get this drink!
"Thanks but I gotta go meet with my friend, I'll see you around Four." Am I flirting? Oh my, I am!
I began to move away from the bar and head towards where I last saw Chris.
"I hope so, Lemon Drop." He says over the crowd. I can hear the smirk in his tone.
I could not stop smiling as I walked away holding my lemon drop Martini bought by a gorgeous man at this gorgeous resort.
