Ah, I ended my cliff hanger early.
By the way, Tobias is 20, Tris is 18
Just saying
"Does the gasp mean you like it?" Tobias asks with a nervous tinge to his voice.
I nod slowly. I pinch myself, just in case it's a dream. It's not. For starters, he cleaned his room, but that's not the half of it. His room has been completely transformed. Paris is all I see. In one corner, he has an Eiffel Tower cardboard cut out with a lot of Christmas lights around it and all around the room. His windows are covered with a giant scene of the skyline of Paris. He even rigged it to light up. He also has a scene by his bed that looks like a café. There is a table for two with candles and French food. " Come here," I say. I meant to hug him, but we ended up kissing. I don't understand what there was for him to be nervous about. We end up falling onto his bed, still kissing. I guess we did end up finishing what we started. I'm just lucky I didn't put on lipstick today. I pull away first. He sighs. I get up and sit at the table and say, "Dinner for two?" He nods and sits down. The only thing ruining the scene is that we are both in sweats and a tee shirt. Not the vibe I would get from Paris.
"Well, I guess I was nervous for nothing," he said. He still looked a little tense, though. "Have some bread." He's trying to change the subject.
"Why do you still look nervous, Tobias?" I corner him. "Are you hiding something from me?"
"You know, you should try some of this bread. It's really good. I made it myself. At least give it a taste."
"Why do you keep changing the subject? What are you hiding?" I'm starting to get even more suspicious by the minute. "Tobias. Answer me. What are you hiding?" He looks scared of me now.
"I'm not hiding anything." He says. I give him a doubtful look. "Really. I wouldn't hide stuff from you. I will swear to it on my life."
"Alright. I'll believe you," I say. "But, if you are lying, I will get Caleb in here to tear you to shreds for hurting his little sister." He looks really scared now, but he agrees. I take a piece of bread. "There." I say. "I took a piece of bread. Ya happy?"
"Very," he says.
I take a bite of the soft bread. "Mmm. It tastes really good." I say. "Did you really make it, or did you buy it?" That gets him to smile. He doesn't look as nervous now. I take another bite and my tooth hits something hard. Now I believe he made it. He couldn't make something this perfect without having some kind of flaw.
I rub my tooth and examine my bread. I see something shiny and pull out a ring. I gasp. It's nothing fancy. Just two thin silver wires intertwining until the middle where they form the shape of a rose. "Tobias?" I ask. He moves closer.
"Say nothing." he says. "Unless you're saying yes." I move closer to him.
"Yes." I whisper.
He picks me up and takes me out of the room. And we end up back in the elevator on our way to the second floor. He didn't put me down this time. He carries me into my apartment and over to the couch. I sigh. Just the couch. He puts me down and sits down where he was before. "Ya coming? We have to finish this gruesome movie." I get back to where I was, curled up against him. A few minutes later, I tell him I'm going to the bathroom. I whip out my cellphone.
Christina, I text. come over as soon as possible.
I don't even wait for her reply. I just flush the toilet, even though I wasn't on it, and wash my hands.
About five minutes later, Tobias and I are deep in a kiss and Christina shows up banging on the door. Again. She always comes at the worst times. I open the Door and hold out the ring.
Another cliff hanger. R&R
