Chapter 45
Tris P.O.V
It doesn't fully surprise me, that Christina's intention was to kidnap both Abigail and I. The moment she barged into Tobias' apartment, I could tell she had something up her sleeve. Not ten minutes after breakfast was done, Tobias broke the news that Christina and Will was pulling us into two different directions. He wasted no time in making sure to give his daughter a proper Good bye, and kissed her on her little forehead, Tobias also gave me a lingering kiss on the forehead. Will told Tobias to grab his gym back and they left.
I was slightly disappointed in not being able to talk to Tobias about last nights events. A conversation that I guess will be held for tonight.
The kiss we shared was more then I can put into words. The passion, and the hunger that ignited between us. I wanted to tell him it was something I wanted and not something that just happened in the heat of the moment.
Not long after Will and Tobias left, Shauna arrived. Immediate She looked so comfortable holding a baby, you can see the longing in her eyes to have one of her own.
Christina on the other hand wasted no time, she stated rampaging through my closet looking for the baby bag and anything that she thought Abigail might need for the day. Just when I thought Christina was going little over board with the baby bag, stroller, car seat, portable crib... She announced that we were ready for our adventure. A adventure that I was left out of knowing about.
"Girl, you are just going to have to trust us." Christina said sharing a smirk with Shauna.
I'm sitting in a big leather chair, finding myself being tortured by a woman named Jill. She continues to say something about lines, skin, and no good. Everything else sounds like gibberish... She spent what felt like a eternity torturing my cuteicals and sanding my feet. I drew the line when Christina told them to paint my nails pink. I think I place fear into the lady when I gave her the death stare. Finally I won or at least settled with Christina with the color dark blue. She still wants me to get my hair done... Grrrr What is with this girl. I settled with a trim with extreme layers through my hair.
Shauna is enjoying her much needed message, manicure and pedicure. Christina had the full work up too. "After saving all of our asses, it's well needed she said." I gotta love her way thinking, I guess.
No one pushed me once I told them that I wanted no one to touch me... Finally an argument that I won easily.
I guess I shouldn't be too surprise when our torture didn't end there... after our three hour beauty torture came the shopping torture. If it wasn't for the needs of Abigail, Christina probably would argue with us stopping to take breaks, between the shoe, lingers, and clothing stores. To my amusement I enjoyed the baby store, picking out cute little outfits for Abigail.
"So how are things between you and Four?" Christina asks, as we sit around a table outside of a cafe. I have Abigail attached to my right breast while I sip on my lemonade. Shauna seems interested in this answer just as much as christian. Who ever knew my love life was their entertainment.
"Everything going OK. I think. We had really nice day yesterday." I say as my face betrays me, I feel the blush raise on my cheeks.
"Seems like things are little more then just NICE!" Shauna says grinning at me.
"We kissed last night." I confessed.
"Kissed?" Christina asks.
"More like Kisses." I correct myself.
"Oh.. Kisses. Sounds juicy." Shauna says leaning in little more.
"Seriously?" I laugh.
"I'm glad that things are looking up for both of you. You both deserve happiness and together." Christina says with a generic smile.
"Thank you." I say
"Yea, this past year has been... Jeez. I'm glad that's over." Shauna says.
"What\s that suppose to mean? How bad?" I ask.
"It.. it got really bad, Tris. We all had to take care of each other specially, Four. It was hard enough for him to get out of bed. When he did the last thing he wanted was to be in his apartment. He became a workaholic. He didn't, couldn't move on. It was like he was moving through the everyday motions but being empty." Christina says. "He would have these dreams, that would make him very disoriented when he woke up. It would almost re break his heart every time." She added making a clear picture for me. I nodded, the guilt starting to eat at me.
I remember how I was suppose to die. I remember taking Caleb's place, entering the weapon lab, passing the death serum, and bag shot by someone. They tell me that, that someone was David. Of course instead of dieting, my memory tells me I woke up in a hospital bed. Eric by myself holding my hand, tears in his eyes. I know now that my memory I have was planted and the reality was more terrifying then I can imagine.
I may not be able to remember my life with Tobias, the war, our ups and down in our relationship. But the physical need and pull, the electricity jolts when we touch is all I need to know. I know what we had and still have runs deeper then physical, it's emotional and spiritual for the both of us.
The dreams I had in the Bureau of Tobias proves that. And from what it sounds like, he experienced the same as me if not stronger. Something like that, that strong, no matter the lack of memory I have... IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR! Like Tobias says "New memories can be made."
Tobias P.O.V
I was hesitate to leave Tris and Abigail for the day. But I know Will is right. Sometimes it's ok to have some time apart, to give each other some room to breath and think. That she will be there at the end of the day, and that was something I needed to adjust to. That I needed to learn to trust her, trust that she will keep Abigail and herself safe in my absence. It would be good practice, after all I have to eventually return back to work. Although I would love to, I am pretty sure I can't drag Tris and the baby to my office every day.
We head to the gym just a few floors down, already Zeke, Amar, and George are there. I can't help but excited and at home. I haven't worked out in so long, my routine totally thrown out of the window. It would feel nice to rid of some pent up energy. Specially after last night with Tris.
We all start with warm ups.. Pushups, treadmills, stretching and then came the most exciting part Sparing. George took Will and it wasn't long until Will got the hang of it. Although it's been years since he spared you can tell he so enjoyed and needed it. I of course got Zeke, like always it takes more then twenty minutes before I finally pin his ass down. After we hit the showers and decide to go get a drink at the bar to buy is some time.
"So things good between you and Tris?" Zeke ask.
"Yea, they ok. We spent the day together yesterday. I showed her the "NEW" Abnegation. Then we ate lunch at the park." I say.
"That's great dude. Is she recalling anything yet?" Zeke asks.
"No. I have a feeling thats something I might just have to learn to deal without. I have her.. and Abigail is my bonus. All I need." I say taking sip of my beer. All true.
"Great to hear, dude. You nervous about going back to work?" He ask.
"I don't know. Cross that bridge when I get to it, I guess." I say.
"Hey guys we better get going... we all gotta take some kind of showers and get dressed. Unless we want Christina to kick all our asses." Will says already wiped by Christina.
We all finish our beer and start heading out.
