Tris's pov again!
After 30 minutes of sitting like that, Christina came in, disrupting our moment and looking verry very worried. When she saw us, she relaxed, and giggled when I looked down and blushed.
After 2 minutes she was full - out laughing.
I was so embarrassed at her seeing Four with me... I guess it was just the abnegation in me still. But I shifted so we sat next to each other, not hugging, not anymore. I missed his strong, safe arms, and his soothing touch.
I guessed I looked dreamy, which was not at all like me, so Christina laughed again, then told the others to come in. They did, and everyone grinned at seeing us together, even if we were just sitting. But I still did not get the joke.
Then Marlene spoke. "We had a plan, you see, to get you together. It was really elaborate, but I guess you almost dying because you thought Four rejected you would to the trick!" Everyone giggled again, except Al and Four.
Al just looked sad, and everyone left saying "You two should catch up, bye!"
Once they were gone, Four whispered in my ear "Tris, I am so, so so, sorry! I did not know you were there! I never want to hurt you again." I put my finger on his lips and said, "Hush, you are forgiven." Then I leaned in... and kissed him.
It was my first kiss, and it was mind-blowing! He was so gentle, and sweet. He held me carefully, and kissed me gently on the lips.
I felt like I was flying, but then I thought No, what if he thinks we are going to fast? What if he doesn't like me? Why did he choose me anyway?
After the kiss ended, I said, looking down, "Four? Why do you want me anyway? If its for, you know, that, well... If its not, I am plain and ordinary, and I am a coward. I look like I am 12. Peter and Drew should have thrown me into the chasm. I deserved it."
Four looked shocked. " Never say ANYTHING like that again!" I drew back a little, the anger in his eyes scaring me. "First of all, they were wrong. You are NOT pretty." I look down, and tears start to fall.
"You are stunning, the incarnation of pure beauty, inner and outer!" Tears fell from my eyes for a different reason now. "Really?" I said, daring to hope.
He smiled "Of course! Are you really that blind to all those looks boys give you? Peter and Drew were jealous that you could be both beautiful, deadly, and strong, yet caring and kind." The tears fell faster now.
Four continued. " If it was just that, I would not have come to you. You are not like that, Tris. You are not a piece of trash to be discarded after someone has used you! People like that do not deserve you. I do not deserve you. No one deserves you. You are too good for anyone but the best angel."
I sniffled and said "My angel is YOU,Four. You protect me, and the people I love. You saved me so much. I love you!"
At this he gasped. "Tris, I love you too."
Then he looked down. "Tris, there is something I have to tell you, but not here. I will tell you later. It is extremely important, and you may change your mind about me. "
I knew the answer to that. "NO! No, Four, never! You are strong, and brave, Four! "
He just shook his head. "I am not! I am weak, and undeserving. I am a coward. " Then he ran.
I stared after him in shock. I had never seen that side of Four before.
Okay, the last name game is over! It was a) Simmons!
My name is Lisa Simmons!
