Tris POV
I wake up with a warm feeling inside. That along with a pounding headache. But last night was amazing. I didn't realize how much I missed Tobias. The thought of him makes my heart flutter.
"Knock knock" Christina says, opening my door. "Rise and shine sleeping beauty."
"Oh shut up" I say.
"Fine. But I'm serious. We need to go" she says.
"Go where?" I ask.
"It's a surprise" she says.
"No! Stop. Come on tell me" I say.
"Well Zeke and Marlene arranged something. That's all I'm gonna say. Oh, and there's a party tonight so we need to go shopping."
"Ugh" I groan. "Why?"
"Come on get your lazy ass up" she orders, leaving my room.
I groan and grab my phone. Three new messages the screen reads.
Good morning beautiful, hope to see you today (;
-Tobias
I text a quick reply before moving on.
One from Zeke: Guess you had fun last night ;) get ready for tonight
And the last one from Shauna: Sorry about Zeke, but you guys are so cute
I smile and quickly respond to both of them before rolling out of bed. I hop into the shower, trying to be fast so I don't have to deal with Christina's wrath.
I grab a pair of black short shorts and a blue crop top and quickly throw them on when I get out. I only apply concealer and mascara for makeup because whatever I put on, Chris will wipe it away later only to reapply it. I take a pill to ease my slight headache before heading out of my room.
"Not bad" Christina comments.
"Shut up you know I don't care" I say. She smiles, grabbing my hand.
"Let's go!" she squeals.
"But I haven't had breakfast" I object.
"Screw breakfast. We'll jut stop at Starbucks on the way" she says, tossing my shoes at me.
I roll my eyes and pull them on my feet. Christina pulls me out the door and into her cute mini cooper.
"To the mall!" she yells dramatically, causing me to laugh. We speed to the mall, only stopping at Starbucks.
We pull up to the mall and Christina eagerly hops out of the car.
"You're going to pay for this later" I mumble.
"Yeah right" she says, pulling me into the building. The stores blur into different colors and different levels of torture.
"That looks good on you" I comment on a black dress.
"I know. I think I'll get it" she says. "Meanwhile try this on." She hands me a dark red dress and pushes me towards the dressing room.
"This is like the billionth dress you made me try on" I complain.
"I think it might be the one" she says.
I change quickly. The dress is tight and sexy; showing off the little I have. I walk out of the dressing room and am greeted with Christina's squeal.
"It's perfect" she says. "You have to get it."
I look at myself in the mirror. The neckline is so low, all three of my ravens are visable. I turn around and investigate myself.
"I don't know, it's awfully revealing" I say. I see Christina roll her eyes in the mirror.
"Four will like it" she says. "It's cute. You just need to be more confident."
I sigh. "Fine." Chris squeals.
"I'll buy it for you!" she says, happily dancing around me. I roll my eyes and change back to my clothes. Christina has already purchased the clothes by the time I'm done changing.
"Can we go home now?" I ask, checking the time. 2:52.
"One more stop" Christina says, dragging me along.
"Where?" I ask.
"Sephora" she answers. I groan like a little kid as Christina drags me in. I follow her around like I would my mom in the grocery stores when I was five. Every so often Christina grabs my hand and tests a product on my hand before muttering something under her breath.
About a billion minutes later Christina finally decides she has everything she needs.O"Ready?" she asks as we leave the store.
"Oh you have no idea" I say, causing her to laugh. We drive back to the apartment, blasting music. When we get home, I collapse on the couch dramatically. Christina looks at me disapprovingly.
"We need to get ready" she says.
"Why?" I whine.
"The party starts in one hour" she says, pulling me up from the couch.
"Ugh" I grumble. I'm ordered to change into my new dress while Christina changes as well. After, Christina does my hair as usual. Soft waves hang down my shoulders and the small amount of hairspray makes me sneeze.
""You look good" Christina says, standing back to look at her work.
"That's great, you done?" I ask.
"I still have to do makeup silly" Christina says. "Eyes closed."
Minutes tick by as Christina does weird things to my face. When I open my eyes I see she has give me winged eyeliner, red smokey eye, red matte lips, and some mascara.
"Not bad" I comment.
"I know" she says, smiling. "Give me a few minutes and then we can leave."
My phone buzzes as I get a message. (Tobias is italic Tris regular)
How's it going?
Ugh shopping with Christina ALL day.
For the party?
How'd you know?
Lucky guess. Guess I'll see you soon ;)
You're going to the party?
Of course. Better let you get ready see you soon x.
"Ready?" I ask Christina.
"Almost" she replies. The heels I got today are thrown at me and Christina soon follows.
"Put them on" she orders.
"Why do you torture me?" I ask as I put them on.
"I'm only helping" she says. "Ready?"
"Yeah let's go" I say.
Christina drives us to Zeke and Tobias' place in a few short minutes.
"Let's get our party on" she says as we walk in. The house is already half packed filled with a ton of people I don't know. Music blasts and I'm pretty sure the neighbors are already unhappy. I turn to say something to Christina but she's already gone.
I weave through people and hear a few whistles as I go. I manage to get into the kitchen eventually. I grab a beer and pop it open. I take a sip and head outside where I spot Zeke. I walk out and stumble just before I reach Zeke. Someone steadies me before I really fall on my face.
"Woah there." I expect it to be Tobias, but as I look up I see the boyish face that belongs to Uriah.
"Uriah!" I say happily, flinging my arms around him in a hug. I haven't seen him since I left Chicago.
"Surprise!" he says. I pull away from the hug and look up at him.
"You're the surprise? I ask.
"You know it. I'm just that special" he jokes. I laugh and take another drink.
"Have you seen Marlene yet?" I ask. They were high school sweethearts until she moved down here for college six months ago.
"She's not here yet" he says.
"So I hear you and Four?" he prods.
"What about us?" I ask indignantly.
"A little birdie told me you've been inseperable" he says, smirking.
"So?" I ask, smiling a little.
"My little Tris is in love" he teases.
"Shut up. We're not even dating" I say, feeling my face brighten up.
"Uri!"
"Mar?" Uriah asks. A second later Marlene bursts through the crowd and Uriah picks her up and spins her around. They exchange a few words before I decide to continue talking to Uriah later.
I feel a hand on my arm and turn around.
"You look good Tris" Tobias says, looking me up and down.
I punch his arm. "Same to you."
He pulls me close and I can smell the strong scent of cologne. In a few drinks I finish my beer.
"Trying to get drunk are you?" he asks.
"Nothing wrong with that" I say smiling.
"By the way, I have been meaning to ask you something" he says, taking my hands in his.
"Oh?" I breathe, bringing my face close to his.
"Yeah. I was wondering, will you go out with me?" he asks. I close the small space between us and move my lips against his. He returns the movement, moving his hands to my waist.
I pull away and smile up at him.
"So is that a yes?" he asks. I laugh and nod my head.
"You have no idea how much I've missed you" I say.
"I think I have a pretty good idea" he says, winking.
Tobias takes my hand, bringing me to the kitchen. There, Christina and Will make out, Shauna is on Zeke's lap, and Marlene straddles Uriah.
"So this is where everyone went" I say.
"I bet they wish they were alone" Tobias jokes. "Well I bet Will's gonna get real lucky tonight." I punch his arm and he laughs at his own jokes.
"Haha hilarious" I say sarcastically.
"I know. I'm too hilarious to handle" he says as he grabs two beers. Our friends take up all the chairs so I stand leaning into Tobias.
"You guys good now?" Shauna asks smirking.
"I'd say so" Tobias answers.
"That's-" she stops mid sentence as Zeke attacks her neck, murmuring things that cause Shauna to turn red. Tobias smirks.
"Trying to get laid again Zeke?" he asks teasingly.
"Least I'm getting some" Zeke teases back.
"Ohhh" Uriah says, entering the conversation.
"Only when I'm drunk" Shauna snorts. Tobias' chest heaves as he laughs.
"Who's side are you on" Zeke pouts. Shauna laughs.
"You poor baby" she jokes. I finish my second drink and my head buzzes.
"Hit me up with another drink" I say.
"You're really trying to get drunk" Tobias says, reaching for a beer for me and one for himself. His absence behind me causes me to stumble a little in my four inch heels.
"Easy there" he steadies me. I turn around in his arms so I'm facing him.
"Maybe I don't want to take it easy" I murmur boldly. Always bolder drunk. I press my lips to his. He returns the kiss forcefully, causing me to lean against the counter. Our friends whistle behind us. I pull away, out of breath and smile up at him.
I lean over the counter and grab myself another drink. They happen to be very good. My vision becomes a bit fuzzy as I drink more and I can't think quite straight. I finish my drink in a few minutes, probably a record for me but I don't know. I take Tobias' hand and lead him to the living room which is currently being used as a dancefloor.
I place his hands on my hips and put mine around his neck. I grind against him in tune with the music. He leans down to my ear and nibbles on my ear lobe.
"You're getting bold Miss Prior" he murmurs.
"With you around it's hard not to" I murmur back.
"We just got back together" he says. Does he think we're moving too fast? "And I'm glad it feels like we never broke up" he adds.
I smile. "Remember that one night in the pool house?" I ask boldly.
"Oh how could I forget" he answers smiling.
He bends down and touches his lips to mine. I return the kiss passionately. we blend in perfectly with the few people who haven't left who are making out. His tongue asks for permission and I gladly open my mouth for it. My hands slide up his nice button down shirt. They move to their own accord feeling his chiseled chest. His hands caress my small curves, roaming like my own. I pull away for a brief second before connecting our faces again. My hands move up to his hair where my fingers twine themselves in the short strands. He moves his lips from mine and goes down to my neck. A small moan escapes me put I doubt he can hear from the music.
He trails kisses down my collarbone, kissing each raven I'm sure. When he finally pulls away, he has a boyish smile on his face.
"I've missed this. I've missed you" he says.
"Me too. Come on let's go" I say. He guides me back to where our friends are located in the kitchen. Zeke is still peppering kisses on Shauna's neck and Marlene and Uriah have gone back to their make out session. Christina and Will are no where to be found.
"Look who's back" Zeke says. I roll my eyes.
"Where's Christina?" I ask. Zeke frowns.
"They left" Shauna says.
"There goes my ride" I say.
"You didn't really plan on going home did you?" Tobias murmurs, tickling my ear.
"Well I guess you'll never know" I murmur back.
More and more people start to leave even though it's only nine thirty. Eventually Zeke kicks everyone out for the night. Marlene takes Uriah to her place and soon it's only Shauna, Zeke, Tobias, and I left.
I yawn, still feeling a little tipsy from the alcohol.
"Ready for bed?" Tobias asks.
"Oh yes." He leads me to his room after saying a quick goodnight to Shauna and Zeke.
"These shoes are killing me. I can't wait to take this dress off" I say.
"I could help you with that" he smirks.
"I'm sure you could" I say.
His room is simple. Everything is mostly put away and clean. There's a bathroom that is attached to his room.
"You need a shirt to sleep in?" he asks.
"Yeah." He hands me one and give me a slight nudge towards the bathroom. "You first."
"There's only one problem" I say.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah." I turn around. "I can't reach. Do you mind?"
He unzips my dress slowly. "Good?"
"Yes, thank you" I say, looking at him through my lashes before heading to the bathroom. I change quickly and wash my face before leaving the bathroom.
Tobias has already changed into sweatpants and no shirt. He's reaching into the top shelf of his closet. The view is great, but curiosity takes the best of me.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Getting blankets" he says.
"Why?"
"So you can have the bed" he says.
"Nonsense. You'll sleep in the bed with me" I say, hopping onto his bed.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course" I reassure him. We climb under the sheets and Tobias puts his arms around me, pulling me close.
"We're adults" he says.
"Very good Tobias" I tease.
"I mean we're not teenagers. It's hard to believe we were dating when we were sixteen and here we are, dating at 22."
"I know. It's nice I already know you so well" I say lightly.
"Goodnight Tris" Tobias says, placing aa kiss on my cheek.
"Goodnight."
AN: Okay so how did you like it? Constructive criticism is welcome. Please review. How do you guys feel about me starting a second story? Please let me know! Also, I know I originally said they were 20 but I'm not realizing that won't work so can we just pretend they've been 22 the whole time? Sorry for the late update.
