I'll admit I'm frustrated at myself for how long I took with the previous chapter. I do hope to get at least this chapter up sooner. I appreciate anyone who is still following this story. Please R&R.


Tris POV

"Christina, please tell me you did not hire a stripper." I practically beg, as she, Marlene and Shauna help me get ready for my bachelorette party. Cara won't be able to make it so I invited an old childhood friend, Susan, tonight. We lost touch after she had a falling out with Caleb when we were in high school but she seems to be okay being around me now. She told me she doesn't hold a grudge against him.

"And I haven't had the best experiences at clubs, you know."

"For the thousandth time, Tris, I didn't get a stripper or the plural of that either. You can trust me. And we won't be at the club more than two hours. We still have to come back to my place afterwards to do the games and stuff before it gets late. I promise you will definitely enjoy the surprise I have planned. You have nothing to worry about, right ladies?"

Shauna and Marlene nod.

"Don't worry, Tris. Marlene and I can confirm for you that Christina is telling the truth. You will be very happy when you see what the surprise is." Shauna says.

"Okay. I believe you then."

The five of us head out to have a light lunch at a tea room. It's a nice, quaint place with a bit of privacy. We talk about the wedding and I inquire as to when my friends think the boys will follow Tobias' lead and propose. All of their relationships seem to be in a good place as well. They all laugh lightly at my questioning.

"Seriously, I still can't believe that Tobias and I are getting married before any of you as you all have been in your relationships longer than he and I have."

"Well, Zeke and Uriah have never really been the type to admit their feelings. Four wasn't either but I imagine he's different with you when we aren't around. Zeke and Uriah can be romantic when they want to, but otherwise they don't usually like to get all mushy."

I chuckle. "Yeah, I can see that. They're obviously great guys but from what I can tell in getting to know them, they like to keep things light with humor and stuff."

"Exactly. Four is usually quiet but he is always listening and observing. He's never liked being the center of attention and I guess it makes sense now considering what he's been through. He's different but somehow the three of them get along very well. And obviously you managed to break down Four's walls. You truly bring out the best in him."

"Thanks ladies. I hope one day soon we will be celebrating your weddings too."

After leaving the restaurant we head out to a nail salon and spa. At dusk we head out to the club. Luckily the heels Christina put me in aren't ridiculously high so I can still walk and dance without my feet hurting too much. After a little bit I go back to our table but see Christina on her phone likely texting someone then she gets up and walks over to the DJ booth and says something to him. She comes back to our table and sits like nothing happened. Hmm...

When the song that's playing ends the DJ picks up his mic and speaks.

"Ladies and gentleman, how is everyone doing tonight?" The crowd cheers. "Good, good! Well, before I play the next round of songs for you all I'd like to make a special announcement."

I look at Christina and she just smiles and shrugs her shoulders at me while winking.

"I was told that a very special young woman is celebrating her bachelorette party here tonight. I was also told that unfortunately she didn't come here to see any half naked men - or women for that matter - she just wanted to spend a fun night with her friends."

The crowd groans in disappointment.

"However, there is still gonna be a surprise for this young lady. This surprise is non traditional for a typical bachelorette party but her maid of honor informed me that this is what makes this bachelorette so happy."

Christina leads me to the center of the dance floor.

"So everyone, give it up for the groom to be!"

I turn around and my jaw drops as the crowd cheers. Tobias is standing a few feet away from me in an all black suit with a red tie. I smile from ear to ear. He has a single rose in his hand and wears the same smile as I do. He gives me the rose and pulls me to him with his free hand. I wrap my arms around his neck while his go around my waist. The DJ starts playing a slow song while the crowd whistles and cat calls at us. They go crazy when Tobias dips me and presss his lips to mine as the song ends.

"Everyone raise your glasses to the future Mr. and Mrs.!"

The crowd cheers again with glasses raised. Tobias keeps an arm around me as we walk back to our table. Before we sit down he pulls me to him in a hug as I bury my face in his chest. I am a little embarrassed but still smiling big. The girls all squeal when I finally raise my head.

"So, did you like your surprise?" Christina asks.

"Yes, I did. Thank you, ladies. Really. This was the best surprise."

"I told you that you could trust me. I knew right away that this was the perfect idea."

"It was."

"We can leave in half an hour so you two can spend more time together."

"Sounds good."

Tobias takes my hand and leads me outside, away from the noise.

"I hope tonight turned out to be everything you hoped it would. I hope you don't think I crossed any boundaries."

"Of course you didn't. I couldn't have asked for a better bachelorette party. Obviously we aren't doing everything the traditional way, but that's okay. This is what we want."

"You're right. The same goes for me for my bachelor party. No alcohol, no strippers."

"You better not." I say, teasingly.

"The only woman I wanna look at it is you."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

A/N: I might add more to this chapter if I can think of something since its short.
