Happy Holidays Everyone!

I am sorry that I haven't updated in a while, I have been super busy traveling between school/work and visiting my family back home. I have started a winter class which is during the evening so that has been taking up a lot of my time.

I really am going to try to post again before the new year but if I don't I def will post soon after. I really appreciate all the favorites and follows. It feels awesome. Please comment and review as that definitely gets me in a writing and happy mood and with so much going on in my life I definitely need that.

Hope you guys enjoy this chapter and I am still not completely sure where I want this story to go so feel free to share what you hope happens with Tobias and Tris or the gang in general.

Tris POV

Is that a bird? Those are definitely birds chirping. I feel light breeze and heat on my skin but I can't understand why.

As I slowly open my eyes I see the sun shining over me with blue skies. I look to my right and I see palm trees and the ocean at a distance. I look to my left and I see Tobias on a lawn chair, asleep.

Oh my god, Four is sleeping outside and I was sleeping outside too!

It's all coming back to me.

I drank a good amount last night but I wasn't blacked out so I am glad that I am able to recall the night so clearly. I would of hated to wake up next to this perfect man not be able to remember how the night went, what we talked about, if we kissed or even more.

Tobias, as he shared last night, is in a light blue button down and jeans with his muscular chest moving up in down in a rhythmic pattern. Talking to Tobias just felt natural but I let him do most of the talking. I can tell when someone just needs someone to talk to, must be my counseling background.

Tobias Eaton. I would have never thought that Four was Marcus' son. The Marcus Eaton who shocked a nation for being one of the biggest real-estate moguls in the country and successfully convicted for sexually assaulting so many women.

When we studied Marcus' case in class it stuck with me because of all the horrible details we learned and how sick of a person one must be to do those things. There weren't any recent pictures of Tobias or his mother, just an old family photo of when Tobias was 6 that leaked to the media.

I always wondered what happened to the little boy in that picture with the blue eyes. Never would I have thought to run into him especially under the circumstances, which I did.

I am glad to know that Tobias and his mother have reconnected since Marcus' trial began and his sentencing actually brought them closer to her and his younger half sister.

Tobias begins to stir and for some reason I begin to panic. I should have stopped staring at him and gone and brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, or looked at a mirror at least.

He opens his eyes and seems a little startled to see where he is. He looks over at me and I give him a slight smile. I don't want to look like some sort of eager beaver or something.

"Hi" is all I can manage to say.

He smiles a little and says "Hi, uhh did we sleep outside?"

"It seems like we did" I respond.

"Well it was the best sleep I've had in a while because I feel good" he says while he stretches, I see him shifting in his pants a little. I force myself to look away.

"Me too and I woke up really hungry actually" I say as my stomach growls loudly.

Tobias stomach joins mine in a loud growl and we both laugh. "Shower and breakfast?"

"Umm here?" I ask making sure he doesn't mean we are showering together and getting breakfast together.

"Oh no no no, I mean we shower separately in our own rooms and then meet up for breakfast if you'd like" his face is a little red and he gives me a shy smile.

"Oh of course, yah we can grab breakfast together, meet down in the lobby in 40 minutes". I respond feeling kind of silly that I thought he could mean something else.

"See you in forty." Tobias responds as I walk him through the room and see him out the door. I'm not one to take long getting ready but I don't want to make him wait so I grab what I need to jump in the shower.

41 minutes later I am on my way to the hotel restaurant.

Tobias is sitting at a two person table near the entrance of the restaurant. I spot him right away and he looks so good.

I walk over to the table. He lifts his head up when he sees me. He stands up and walks over to pulls in my chair as I sit. I am definitely not used to the gentlemen type so I can't help but blush.

"I still can't believe we slept outside" Tobias says with a laugh.

"I know, I remember all that happened last night except when we fell asleep. I wonder where everyone else is?" I say thinking back to the fact that I did not check on Christina.

"Well its 10am and we probably fell asleep before they did so I am going to assume they are still asleep." Tobias says as the waiter approaches to take out order.

"Good Morning, what can I get you this beautiful morning" the waiter says in a super chipper voice.

Tobias gestures for me to go first. "Can I have glass of orange juice and a ginger ale" it's an odd request so I look up at Tobias where he is smirking at me.

"And for you sir?" the waiter is facing Tobias now.

"I'll have the same" he responds. It's my turn to give him a smirk. The waiter walks away to get our drink order.

"I have full faith in your drink orders after our first encounter at the bar." He says.

I can't help but laugh out loud thinking about the first time we met and when he ordered a lemon drop for himself as well.

"Well this drink is not going to be anything special, I just like ginger ale after a night of drinking." I tell him.

"I'll take my chances" he says.

Just as Tobias is about to open his mouth to say something else Zeke comes around the corner and begins to run towards us once he spots us.

"Four! Where have you been!" Zeke yells at Tobias out of breath. "I have been blowing up your phone"

Tobias cuts him off "I left it charging in my room since it was dead, I didn't charge it last night, Zeke man what's going on!"

"It's all over the news, Marcus escaped, and I figured you should get in contact with your mom." Zeke is still a bit out of breath.

"What! Are you sure?!" Tobias raises his voice as he leaves the table.

"Yes, I receive news alerts on my phone, has your mom called you or your sister?" Zeke continues to talk fast.

"No my phone was dead!" Tobias is visibly angry but I can tell its more panic. "Uh Tris, I uh" he begins to explain.

"Oh god Four no worries, go I understand, go!" I say as I watch him already begin to make his way to the exit.

I want to follow them but I feel it's not my place since this seems too personal. The waiter comes back seconds later with two glasses of orange juice and two ginger ales.

He looks at me confused, seeming to have missed Tobias exit. I give him a tight smile and thank him.

I was no longer in the mood to eat so I decided to go find Christina.

I key myself into the suite and walk straight to Christina's door. I knock on her room door but there is no answer. I turn the knob and realize the door is unlocked so I knock once more.

"Christina?" I ask as I open the door.

Christina is on the hotel phone quiet but then begins to speak. "No yah I can imagine this is probably super frightening for them. Please don't hesitate to call if we can do anything. Have a safe flight. Bye"

"Who was that?" I ask already knowing the answer.

"That was Marlene apparently the situation with Four's dad has gotten out of hand since he can't reach his mom or his sister. Four is already on his way to the airport to catch his flight and the rest of them decided they would too since they don't want to leave him alone during this time." Christina seems genuinely sad about this and I can imagine it's more than just because the group is leaving but because Will is leaving too.

All of a sudden I'm feeling overwhelmed and so I tell Christina I am going to my room for a bit.

I met this perfect man and never got his number or even where he's from and now he's gone.
