Free Falling
I have changed tris's age. She is now 23 and Four is 25
FOUR POV
RECAP: I see an unexpected face…
"Christina?" I ask.
"Yes Four?" she responds, sarcastically.
"Since when do you live in this apartment building? I would've noticed you by now if you'd lived here for a while." I feel like I'm interrogating her.
"I just moved in with my friend Tris! I absolutely love this building! It's new, modern, chic… have you met Trissy by the way? I'm sure that she'd love you." Chris keeps talking but I don't hear what she's saying. She lives with Tris? Possibly, there could be other people named Tris in New York, but I don't know so I ask her if it's that Tris.
"You know her? ERMERGHERD its fate! You guys are perfect for each other. Do you wanna come up and say hi? She's been dying to see this guy, but she won't tell me who it is and maybe… maybe she'll tell you! She said something about nice eyes and tall and I quote 'really smoking hot'" Chris says laughing. Is she talking about Uriah? I mean, I guess he's tall, and his girlfriend Marlene thinks he's hot and that his eyes are nice. Could it be him? If it is I hope she's ready for heartbreak…
"Yeah, I'll go up Chris." I finally respond.
She squeals and runs to get ready to take me up.

TRIS POV
I hear my phone and it jerks me out of trance about a certain guy with a number as a name. I read the text from Chrissy: OMG TRISSY! I just ran into Four down here at the gym and he said that he knew you so he's coming upstairs! Be ready in 30! Luv ya, Chrissy.
What? Four's coming up here? Okay Tris get yourself together. I race to my room, and pick out a cute bright blue cropped sweater and black jeans. I hear the apartment's doorbell ring (is that even a thing? hehe back to the story) and I race to the front door. When I open it, I'm disappointed to only see Chrissy. She must've forgot her key again.
"Hey! I like your outfit. Why dressed so nicely?" she asks.
"You texted me saying Four's coming up in 30 be ready by then." I respond confused.
"Shit! I totally forgot. I will be back in 5!" she yells back to me while running down the hall.

About 5 minutes later, she's back with the person that I can't seem to get off of my mind, Four.
"Hello." I say. That seems to break whatever trance he was in.
"Hey" he says back.
We stand there in awkward silence until Chrissy comes out redressed and with new makeup on.
"Seeing as you two are just standing there awkwardly obviously thinking about making out with the other, I'm going to call Will and the rest of the gang; Uri, Marlene, Shauna, Zeke, and Lynn, so we can all go eat dinner." she says, breaking the silence. I blush furiously but agree. Christina has always been one to speak her mind, to put it lightly. While she's on the phone I look at Four's eyes from the corner of my eye. They are a brilliant shade for dark blue, almost black, but if you look close and long enough, you can see a patch of bright blue in one of his eyes. Like an imperfection that makes them even more perfect.
"We're going to the usual place!" Chris yells from right next to me.

When we arrive at our usual place, The Star Diner, we see everyone else already sitting at a table waiting for us. Four goes over to say hi to Zeke and I follow Chris to where Marlene and Lynn have saved two spots, assumingly for us. We chat about random things like work, Marlene's a costume designer and Lynn is another agent at Dauntless, and clothes. Lynn and I talk mostly about work and leave the clothes talk to Mar and Chris. The waiter comes around and takes everyone's orders and I can't help but wonder how Four knows Zeke and I've either A) never met him or B) been sober enough to remember meeting him.
FOURS POV
I go over to Zeke when we walk in, but can't help glancing at Tris going over to Marlene and a girl who I work with, I think that her name is Lynn.
"So, have you and Lauren done anything yet?" he says, wiggling his eyebrows.
"No!" I whisper-yell.
"Why dude? She's really hot, and since she's a dancer, she must be really flexible." He says, his tone obviously suggestive.
"I don't know man, we just haven't yet." I say, implying that this is the end of that discussion.
The waiter takes our orders and we all have a great time. Laughing and talking, all while eating great food with our friends. All is well until I remember that I have to go home to Lauren tonight.
We pay for our meal and then head our separate ways. I walk back to the apartment building with Christina and Tris and we have a flowing conversation going until we reach my floor. I bid them goodnight and go to my apartment. I find Lauren sitting on our bed, trying to look seductive. I don't want anything to go too far, but I need human contact. So, we make out for about an hour and I guess I enjoy it. But, is it a bad thing that I was imagining that Lauren was Tris the whole time?
OMG that chapter was 929 words. That is my longest chapter yet.
