Chapter 46
Tris P.O.V
Dinner with the gang was amazing! We all got dressed up and met at the restaurant. Sure I felt like I spent the day in the torture chamber, but at the end it was worth it.
Christina was overjoyed with dressing both Abigail and I. Abigail's outfit was so beyond adorable. She has a long, light purple gown, just like a princess.
I on the other hand, Christina some how talked me into a getting a blue almost to tight to breath, so short I can't bend over kinda dress. Shauna was the lucky one, she got a silky, red, long dress. Christina picked out a black, knee high, low cut dress.
When us girls arrived at the restaurant, the sun was just setting. The sky was lite with purple, pink, and blue colors, the site was breathtaking. The men all stood waiting for us outside the restaurant, all having smiles as they saw our car pull up.
Tobias stood out from all of them, he looked so handsome dressed in black pants, black and dark gray strips button down shirt. He looked good enough to eat!I wonder if we could ditch dinner and get home, but I knew that wasn't going to happen for more reasons then just one.
The guys slowly made their way towards our car, to greet us. Tobias though was the first one to reach us, he opened my door anticipation written all over his face. I noticed his eyes scanning me from top to bottom, bottom to top as I stepped out of the car. The look on his face, tells me I was right in trusting Christina with picking out my dress. "Wow... you look amazing, Tris." He says leaning in to kiss my forehead. I secretly wished his lips would reach my lips instead. "Where's our girl?" He says with a even bigger smile. He really did miss her! Not trusting my words I glance back in the door, signaling where she is. He wasted no time reaching in the backseat and releasing the car seat from the restraints. He then follows through on kissing her sleeping forehead, and telling her how much her daddy missed her. My heart stretches watching Tobias with our daughter... he is so gentle, and loving to her. I am so grateful for him finding us and bring us home, where we belong. I may still be hesitate in some ways, but I know our home is where ever Tobias is.
The restaurant is a breathtaking on it's on... the lighting is a nice romantic tone, with candles lite through out the tables and walls. We are seated in a wonderful large round table, which I love. I ordered Chicken Parmesan, and Tobias ordered a Lasagna. Both dishes were so savory, Tobias and I feed each other bites from our plates. I didn't want for the last bite to ever come. We all talked and joked in between bites.
Zeke ordered a bottle of wine for everyone, and when we were all served. I stood with his glass raised "I wanted to say that I love all of you! I'm really happy to have all of you in my life. Welcome back Uriah, Will, and Tris. We missed you so much and so blessed to have you guys back. To Happy Ever After!" "To Happy Ever After!" We all say after him and clank our glasses together.
Luckily Abigail was an Angel through dinner, she slept soundlessly in her car carrier between Tobias and I, thankful she nursed before leaving the house.
Abigail became fussy the moment we got home, which I was so thankful for. "I have a surprise for you." Tobias says grinning.
"Yea?" I ask, he points to my bedroom. When I enter I see a brown wooden rocking chair, with purple cushions. "Oh Tobias, thank you." I smiled at him.
I took a seat and situated Abigail to be comfortable, placing the rocking chair to good use already. I slowly rock us back and forth watching Abigail nurse.
"I was wondering, if you are not to tired... Maybe you and I could talk?" Tobias ask leaning against the door frame.
"Of course, I would love to. Let me finish with her and I'll meet you out there." I say. I really would like the chance to talk to him.
"Ok, would you like something? Cup of tea, waiting for you?" Tobias offers.
"That would be wonderful, thank you." I say smiling. He turns and leaves us.
When I walk out, I see Tobias seating on the couch relaxing. He no longer has his shoes on, and he has undone a few top buttons of his shirt.
"Hey, Abigail asleep?" He ask when he notice my presence. I nod in response.
"Come seat down." He offers.
I take a seat next to him, noticing my tea on the coffee table. I thank him and take a sip of the delicious hot liquid.
"Of course, no problem." He says smiling.
"Tobias, I just... want to say-" I couldn't finish my thought he cut me off.
"Tris, I know what you are thinking. I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have kissed you last night. It was in the heat of the moment and you may not be ready." He says, this time I cut him off.
"No, Yes." I take a deep breath. "Tobias, yes we were caught in the heat of the moment but I liked it. It was nice. I don't regret it. Do you?" I ask. He looks shocked by my words.
"No, no. I just don't want to push you into anything. I don't want you to feel obligated or forced. I'm ok to take it slow... I want you to feel happy and comfortable no matter what." He says.
"I wasn't obligated or force. Yes we were caught in the heat of the moment. But I liked it, it was nice. I do feel something for you Tobias. I'm here for a reason." I say our eyes connecting. I hope he can see through my eyes into my soul and know that what I say is the truth.
He slowly caresses the side of my face with his hand. He glances between my eyes and my lips, asking for permission. I don't protest to his touch or advances, slowly he leans in softly brushing his lips on mine. He stops for a moment looking into my eyes. He searches for something in my eyes, asking a wordless question. He must get his answer, he leans back down kissing me with more confidence. I can feel him putting all he has into this kiss, the love, devotion, earning that he has for me. I feel his other hand on my lower back pushing me more into him. My arms find refuge around his neck holding his face close to mine.
