"Tris?" I hear Christina and then see a hand wave in front of my face. I realize we are standing in the dining hall. I shake my head and look up at her.
"Finally you came back. You looked like you were in a simulation," I laugh lightly.
I walk over and get lunch. My favorite, hamburgers. I grab one; put some ketchup, onion, and cheese on it. I grab a bowl of carrots and look around to find a seat. I see Uriah and go sit next to him. I see Chris and Will already are sitting there when I sit down.
"You look like you just woke up Uriah," I say to Uriah whose eyes are bloodshot and his hair is disheveled. It also looks like he's wearing the same clothes as last night.
"Is it that obvious?" he looks up at me and smiles. I nod my head and laugh.
I pick up my burger and take a bite. "Mhh" I say as I finish the rest of my food.
When I'm done I walk over and throw my food away. I walk back over to my table and tell everyone I'm going to go sign up for my job and talk to Tori. They nod and I walk to the ceremony room.
There is an older woman, maybe in here forties at the table. I walk up to her. "Name?" she asks. She has a soft voice, like my mothers.
"Tris Prior," I tell her.
"Ah, you ranked first. You have the choice to be a high ranking official you know." she says smiling at me.
"I know, I want to train initiates." I tell her trying to sound like I know what I'm doing.
"Very well," she says and puts my name down. "You will start to train for the Job in a couple months. Four will be training you, he was your trainer wasn't he?" she says. I smile.
"Yea he was," I tell her smiling and blushing. I hope she doesn't notice. She nods her and I walk out the door. Tobias will train me, and then we will train together. I'm still smiling. He already knows this most likely. I wonder why he didn't tell me earlier.
I walk into Tori's tattoo parlor and see her sitting at the front desk.
"Hello Tris," she says to me smiling, but not taking her eyes off the sketch she was doing.
"What can I help you with?" she asks, now looking up.
"Actually it's what can I help you with. I have signed up to train initiates, but I need something to do till then, so I was wondering if you needed help around here?" I ask her smiling.
"How good are you at drawing?" she asks handing me a notebook and a sketch pencil.
-
We were never allowed to draw for fun in Abnegation, unless it was for school. I was always pretty good for drawings I had to do at school. I would get excited when the teacher would tell us we had to draw a map or do art. I had been working with Tori for about 3 hours just drawing new designs, and requested designs by customers.
I will mostly work the front desk and do designs until I can learn how to actually do a tattoo. It needs a steady hand, which I have, but a lot of practice. Tori says she will teach me how to later. She let me watch her give some tattoos. Even though I have seen we do it before and have had done multiple times I never paid attention. Till now.
It is really an art. Watching just some ink and a steady hand turn a small patch of skin into an art piece. I smile and can't wait to get started. I look at the clock on the wall. It's already 5:30. I stand up quickly, I lost track of time.
"Tori," I call her name.
"Yes!" I hear her call from the back.
"I need to meet Four at dinner can I leave?" I ask her.
"Sure, be here at noon tomorrow. Maybe you can give your first tattoo".
"Thanks!" I grab my purse and walk out the door.
When I get to the dining hall I see Tobias leaning against a table in the back. I half run-half walk up to him.
"Hey, I thought for a second you stood me up." He says to me smiling at my presence. He offers me his hand and I take it and stand up in my tip-toes and kiss his lips. He smiles again under my lips. I step down and start walking towards the food. He pulls me back.
"What? Aren't we eating?" I ask wondering what is going on.
"Yes, but not here. We never got to celebrate your coming in first," he squeezes my hand and is still smiling. "I made reservations at one of the restaurants in the Pit." He says pulling me to the Pit.
"You didn't have to do that, really Four" I tell him, feeling embarrassed.
"Well like I said I made reservations and we are already late for them," he says looking back at me.
"Sorry." I mumble. He pulls me up, so I'm standing right next to him, let's go of my hand and puts an arm around my waist.
"It's okay," he says kissing my hair.
We walk to the top level of the Pit where all the restaurants are. We walk in to one of the nicer places. I didn't catch the name, but Chris and Will have been here before, so I know it is nice.
Tobias walks up to the waiters and says "Four". They lead us to a table in the back corner. They seat us. Take our orders for drinks and leave.
"You didn't have to do this," I tell him again. He grabs my hand which was sitting in the table, and says
"I know, you never got to really celebrate, I mean Uriah's party, but I got drunk. And I'm sorry Tris, you shouldn't have seen me like that, I was with Zeke and totally forgot what was going on." he says frowning.
I squeeze his hand. "It's alright, just don't do it again," I tell him smiling.
"Do you know what you said to me?" He shakes his head.
"I was looking in your pockets for your keys, and you swatted me and said you had a girlfriend!" I tell him laughing. He laughs too shaking his head.
"Well, I do, and she is the most beautiful person in the world," he says. I immediately blush.
He laughs and decides to change the conversation, "So did you sign up for training today and talk Tori?" he asks me looking straight into my eyes.
I nod my head, "You didn't tell me that you were training me for the initiates," I tell him still wondering why.
"I didn't want to get your hopes up, and then you not get the job, because maybe someone might have signed up first. Oh and did you get your room?" he asks me another question.
"Yes, I am in A17," I tell him smiling. I had totally forgotten about that. He smiles too. Man, I don't ever think I have seen him smile this much.
"Perfect," he says.
Two hours later we leave the restaurant. The food was defiantly good, and it was very nice of Tobias to take me there. We decided to go back to my apartment so Tobias can see it, although it is the same as his own. We get to my apartment and I open the door. I walk in and spread my arms out and twirl around to present it to him.
"Nice it's just like mine," he says laughing while he spoke. He is different around me. Like a whole new person.
"Why do you act so different around me? You act like a completely different person than the intimidating Four I meet when I jumped of that roof." I tell him walking over to him and wrapping my arms around his torso.
"Because I'm around you," he says putting emphasize on 'You' laughing like it was so obvious what he said, "You make me laugh, and are always happy. You're beautiful in every way possible, you're smart and you don't hide it. But you still act mature, more mature then most girls your age. You act different. You're brave and a fighter and you don't give up or give in to anybody," he wraps his arms around me.
"I think I might be in love with you," he says softly, almost too soft to where I barely heard him.
I look up at him, and for the first time without even realizing it, I think I might be in love with him too. The way he laughs when I'm being stupid. The way he smiles that crooked smile I love so much. When he tells me everything, and I'm there to help him. When he kisses me and I feel like a thousand fireworks are going off.
"I think I might be in love with you too," I tell him.
He instantly pulls me closer and bends down and kisses me. Not like our usually kisses. This one has more passion. I kiss back without even realizing it. I'm over the fear of intimacy, it doesn't bother me anymore. He runs his tongue along my lips, asking for entrance. I part my mouth slightly and we kiss like we never have before. My hands run up and down his shirt. He pulls back, I do want him too though, and cups my face in his hands.
"I am in love with you," he says looking at me with his blue eyes. He holds me even closer if possible, and I rest my head on his chest. I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
