Tris P.O.V
We walk into Zeke and Uriah's apartment only to be greeted with an overwhelming smell of beer, I should have guessed there would be alcohol but I never really think about it. I've never been allowed it before so now it just feels unnatural. Chris thinks I'm being a Stiff not drinking at anything but I just don't feel the need. I turn to see Uriah bounding towards us, "Hey Guys! Where've you been? Everyone's been waiting for you!" he shouted, it's obvious he's already drunk.
"You know Christina she took twenty minutes on my make-up alone!" I say smiling. Chris elbows me in the side.
"Well you do look stunning," Uriah says looking me up and down with his eyes. He's definitely had too much to drink! Just then his more sober older brother comes up behind him. "Now, now Uriah that's Four's girlfriend you're talking abou,t you ought to be careful he might hear you," he teases. Tobias is here! I have to find him.
"Where's Four" I ask
"Over there in the kitchen," Zeke motions towards the far end of the apartment "But why don't you," I don't hear the rest of his sentence, I'm already half way across the room trying to spot Four. I see him on his own leaning against the fridge, he doesn't look like he's drunk at all. I walk straight up to him and, nothing I don't say anything what am I doing I came straight over here without even knowing what I was going to say! He looks at me his eyes questioning what exactly I'm doing.
"Hey Tris, everything okay?" he stoops his head so he's more at my level. God, I the being short! "Yeah, yeah sorry I just," I look down waiting for him to say something about how he doesn't want to see me anymore but he says nothing.
I look up and see his face right there in front of me. We're so close that I can feel his breathe on my mouth. He is beautiful, why would he want to… but my thoughts are interrupted by his lips pressing against mine. I'm stiff at first from surprise but I soon relax and kiss him back. I put my hands around his waist feeling the muscles on his side. He pulls away, "I've missed you," he says "I've been so busy at the control room that I haven't had a chance to see you and with you setting up your new apartment I feel like we never see each other." I don't say anything I just smile at him. He grabs my hand and we walk back to the others fingers intertwined, I see Chris, Uriah, Zeke, Marlene, Shauna, Will and even Lynn- I didn't expect her to be here she's not exactly the party type.
"So what are we doing?" asks a nervous looking Will, I'm glad he asked because I'm starting to get anxious myself. There's people all over the apartment having fun, but I don't know how to have fun. "Actually, I was thinking a bit of karaoke," says Marlene. What's karaoke? Shauna sees my quizzical look and explains, "Karaoke is where you sing along to a backing track of a song into a microphone." Oh, that sounds fun but I don't know if I'm that much of a singer. "Who's first?" asks Uriah
"I'll go!" exclaims Zeke jumping up and bounding towards the karaoke machine. I wonder what song he'll have to sing. He selects random and waits for it to start, the music comes on and everyone laughs, I've never heard the song I think its an old one but it must be something good. Zeke starts singing,
Aren't you something to admire, cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side.
He walks over to us, pretending to flick his hair to the side.
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
He stands in front of Shauna and kneels down in front of her, then he brings the microphone back up to his mouth
Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
He takes her hand,
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else besides of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
The music cuts off, Zeke kisses Shauna's hand and then stands up and proceeds to take a bow. We all applaud him as he struts around the room. This is so much fun I really am enjoying myself.
The night goes on everyone taking their turn at karaoke. Uriah offers me a drink but I refuse. I want to remember tonight and how much fun I had because for the first time I've embarrassed myself and watched other people embarrass themselves and I've felt good.
Four P.O.V
I have to admit I am actually having quite a good time, so I don't particularly enjoy karaoke myself but it's not so bad when everyone else is doing it with you- it helps that most of them are drunk. Although Tris hasn't touched anything all night. That's what's made my night so good, not Tris not drinking anything but just Tris. I've never known someone who makes me as happy as she does, just her being here makes me smile. Everything about that girl is amazing and all I want to do is learn more about her. We haven't really been a couple for long, but I already know I love her. I know that lying to her about being busy at work isn't very honest but if I had have been with her I'm worried I would have scared her off. But now, after watching her tonight I don't care, I'm going to ask her to move in with me.
