Hey my beautiful, amazing, incredible fanatics! How ya doing? I know I haven't update in ages - and I mean this literally. But I've just been so caught up with school work and end of year prep. You'd think that after exams we'd get a break - wrong. Anyways, I love you guys so much; and this is the next installment of Resurgent!
Disclaimer: Guys. Do you seriously think I'm Veronica Roth? Like seriously?
Tobias P.O.V.
As we are running towards our house, I realise something.
"Our house number is perfect." I say.
"And why is that?" Tris asks, looking over at me. We don't stop running though.
"Well you see, you have six fears, and I have four. Our house number is five, which means that it's between both of us. It's both of ours."
She smiles at this and so do I.
"Ok, here we are."
We stop running and I pull out the key to the front door. The house is beautiful on the outside. It's fairly big, with a beautiful big garden out the front, and perfectly placed windows. It looks like it's come out of a fairytale or something.
I manage to get the door open, and as soon as I do Tris rushes in. She stops abruptly though, so I almost run into her.
However I soon realise what she's looking at.
Although Zoe said that the houses had just been built, it doesn't look super modern like the Research Centre. Instead, it's got a grand feel to it. The entrance is wide, with a high ceiling, and there is a set of stairs with smooth wooden banisters leading up to the 2nd level, where it then splits in two, one going to the left, and one to the right. These then lead up to the 3rd level of the house.
Beneath the two split staircases are entrances to other rooms as well, such as the living room and the kitchen; and I can see that out there back there is another expanse of garden as well as a pool.
All in all, it's amazing.
"It's...It's AMAZING!" Says Tris, as if echoing my thoughts. "What are we going to do with all this space?"
I chuckle at that. "Maybe someday it'll come in useful." I say.
Tris has a far off look on her face, but soon snaps out of it.
"Come on!" She says. "I want to go pick our room!"
So I follow her up the stairs to the top floor.
"Which side?" I ask.
"You choose."
"Ok, then right."
We go to the right and realise that there are 3 rooms to choose from.
We peak into the first one and realise that it overlooks the lake. The next room faces towards what used to be 'outside the fence'.
When we walk into the third and last room, we both literally stop in our tracks.
"It's perfect." Says Tris, echoing my thoughts. And she's right.
The room is incredibly large, and the massive bay windows look out towards the navy pier. Towards the ferris wheel.
"Now I'll always be reminded of when I realised that I was falling for you." Tris says. "Both figuratively and literally."
I smile at this.
"So, good memories then?" I ask jokingly.
"Of course." The she smiles and leans up to kiss me, at the same time that I lean down.
We kiss until we are both out of breath, and Tris pulls away. I however, start to kiss behind her ear, and down her neck - paying close attention to her sweet spot, and eventually coming back up to her lips again.
"Tobias…" Tris whispers, her breath hitching slightly. "We should...go...explore...the rest...the rest of the h-house."
I smile at the thought that I am able to make her feel this way.
"Okay." I say, a grin still playing on my face. "Race you!"
I say this, and then sprint down the stairs. It takes Tris a few moments to recover, and then she is hot on my heels. I lead her down to the bottom level, and out the back to the garden.
I stop, and not two seconds later, Tris is by my side.
"It's pretty amazing, isn't it?" I ask, not really expecting an answer, and I don't get one. Tris is too busy admiring the large backyard and pool.
The garden is a wide expanse of trimmed green grass, but the edges near the fence are home to exotic plants and flowers. The pool is also amazing, it's a sort of jelly-bean like shape, with a smaller sauna right beside it, in the 'curve' of the jelly bean. Overall, it's quite beautiful.
"Woah…" Tris finally says. "How did we get this lucky?"
"We deserve it." I say. "We've been through so much, they put us through so much. It's only fair that we get to live the rest of our lives in peace….and luxury."
"Makes sense…"
"Yeah."
Then we head back inside to explore the rest of the house.
Caleb P.O.V.
As I enter the house, I immediately know that I won't need all of the space. It might be different for Shauna and Zeke, or Four and Tris; but I'm just me. It's an amazing house though, it just feels a bit lonely.
I slowly make my way upstairs, and pick out a room. It's the only one that faces both Abnegation and Erudite. Well, the old Abnegation and Erudite. Now I will always be reminded of how far I've come, and the journey it took to get here.
As I'm admiring the view, I hear a knock on the door. I quickly rush down to answer it.
When I open the door, Cara stands there. She is so gorgeous, and she doesn't know it. Just like Tris.
"Hi." I say, trying to keep my dignity.
"Hey. I was just wondering if I could hang out with you for a bit. I still don't feel super comfortable around the others yet."
She wants to hang out with me? She wants to hang out with me! Wait, why am I so excited? Because the girl you like wants to hang out with you dumb ass. Oh right. Wait! I like Cara? I guess I do. I've been quiet for too long, talk Caleb!
"Yeah sure, I was just thinking how this house was a bit big and lonely at the moment."
"Same goes for my house. Hey, can I see which room you chose?" She asks.
"Sure." I lead her up the stairs to my new room, and go to stand at the windows.
"It's amazing. My room looks towards Old Erudite as well, but not Abnegation. You can see some of Dauntless though."
"So that you could be reminded of Will." I say, 100% sure that that is why.
"Exactly. I never want to forget."
"You won't." I say. "It would be impossible."
And we just stand there by the windows, looking out towards this old world which has changed so much.
Tris P.O.V.
Something's going on with Tobias. I can tell. I think the other's are in on it too, especially Zeke and Christina, they won't stop smiling and they seem seriously damn excited about something. I have no idea what it is though. My guess? It's something to do with me. What it's got to do with me, I don't know; but I am definitely involved.
"Tobias!" I shout through the house, our house. "I'm going to go check on Chris!"
"Ok, love you!"
"Love you too!"
Maybe I can get Chris to spill, she's never been really good at keeping secrets; she was brought up in Candor after all - and they didn't hide anything!
Christina's house is right next to ours, which is good. So I don't have to run too far to escape her makeover attempts.
All of our houses are identical pretty much, but they have different gardens and are painted different colours. Ours is a beautiful beige colour, but Christina's is white. I can't help but associate the colour with her candor - Pure and upfront.
I knock on her door. "Chris! It's me - open up!" I shout.
Not two seconds later, Christina is standing in front of me with a wicked grin on her face.
"Come on Trissy." She says. "I have to make you look hot."
I immediately pull back.
"For what valid reason?" I ask, shocked.
"Well missy, you're going on a date." And I am pulled inside without time to protest.
Soooooo...How'd you like it? Ha? Ha? Did you like the Calcara I added in there? (Requested by Bookz4life - thx sooo much for the idea!) Also, what'd do you reckon the date is for? Take a wild guess!
Love yaz!
