A/N: Tris's dress can be find in my bio. Tobias kind of looks like Jamie Doran in those Calvin Klein Ads in my everchanging mind.
Tris's Dress is in my bio
"Tris Prior, will you be my girlfriend?" Tobias asks
I was stunned, knowing he is risked his friendship with Zeke for this.
"I-I-," I stutter
"Oh it's fine, um," he says looking away
"No, no, I-I-I do it's just Zeke and-,"
"What do you want, Tris?" he says cutting me off
"To be with you but-,"
"No buts," he says
"I want to be your girlfriend," I say
"Than be my girlfriend," he says
"Okay,"
| TRIS POV |
We sat here looking at the waterfall for countless minutes. It was pure silence. We were embracing our decisions and the choices we have made. I place my head on his shoulder, our legs dangled over the edge of the gravel 'pathway'.
"Why me?" I ask quietly
"What?"
"Why did you choose me?" I elaborate "You could have any girl and you chose me, I'm just an average girl whose fucked up her life, plus I'm two years younger than you,"
"You may be an average girl to others but to me, your something different," he reassures "You make me a better person, you make me think twice, you make me follow my morals, it's as if my life has shifted to orbit around you, you are my everything, loosing you would be a fate worse than death because I would shatter into a million pieces"
Our foreheads are against each other but I still look into his endless eyes. I lean forwards barely brushing my lips against his before lightly kissing him. I pull back, our eyes return to our never-ending eye contact.
"I think I might be in love with you," Tobias says, he smiles a little. "I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you, though."
"That's sensible of you," I say, smiling too. "We should find some paper so you can make a list or a chart or something."
I feel his laughter against my side, his nose sliding along my jaw, his lips pressing my ear.
"Maybe I'm already sure," he says, "and I just don't want to frighten you."
I laugh a little. "Then you should know better."
"Fine," he says. "Then I love you."
"I love you too," I reply
"You're incredible," I breath "you are brave, kind, selfless, intelligent and truthful all at the same time, you are unique, you make me crazy and happy, my heart jumps at the mention of your name, all I wonder is when I get to see you again, you are humble and yet so talented, you are a role model to many but you do not boast,"
"and that is why I love you."
I feel his warm lips kiss my forehead before we look back towards the waterfall.
I look up at him, smiling. Our fingers interlocked as we hold our hands going back to the car.
Tobias puts the basket into the boot as I place the mat in too. It was silent, no words were exchanged. I was now the girlfriend of Tobias Eaton.
I hop into the car.
"We should do that more often," I say
"Oh we will," he reassures.
I get a text from Christina.
Hey where are you? I have to get you ready for the ball?
"How far away are we from home?" I ask
"Around 10 to 15 minutes," Tobias replies focused on driving.
Around 10-15 mins away
"Tobias we have to discuss the situation with Zeke and stuff," I say
"I know, I know, just-just let me think," he says
"Okay," I say softly
"I just don't know how to tell him," Tobias says
"You're scared of how he'll react," Tris responds
"I guess, I just don't want to loose a friendship that literally got me through nineteen years of my life," he says "But at the same time, I don't want to loose…us,"
"If he was a real friend he would understand," I say
"You're his sister and he's willing to do anything to keep you,"
"You've known him longer than I have, he values you just as much," I say
"But you're his family,"
"And so are you,"
"Let's just enjoy this when we can," he says pulling into the garage.
"I agree," I say caressing his cheek, looking at him.
He looks back. I lean over and kiss him. I feel his hand flow down to my waist. He easily lifts me over the consul in the car. I straddle his waist. I let out a chuckle before returning to his lips. I feel his fingers play with edge of my sweater.
A knock on the window made me jump back from Tobias. I look and see Christina.
I quickly get off Tobias and get out of the car.
"I'll see you in an hour," I say to him
"Took you long enough," Christina says
"Sorry,"
"Well let's start," she says
I had a smoky eye and a red lip to match my dress. The dress Chris chose was so pretty. It was silk and red that had a V-neck that showed a bit of cleavage. (Link in my bio)
My hair was pinned up into a fancy updo and I have a V-shape diamond necklace.
"Thank you so much," I say "Where are you going?"
Christina was dressed in an elegant black dress.
"Oh you know, just going out,"
"Okay?" I say a little suspicious
"Now you go have fun," she urges.
Strange, I thought she liked Tobias.
"Okay?"
"Bye,"
"Bye," I say before walking out.
I get in the car.
I give Tobias a quick peck on the cheek.
"Let's go,"
"You look…. gorgeously exquisite?" he says
"Gorgeously exquisite?" I ask
"I wanted to be original, but you look beautiful," he says
I feel blood rush to my cheeks.
"Stop it, your making me blush," I say
I hear Tobias familiar chuckle.
He was dressed in a navy blue tux which went incredibly well with his glowing tan skin.
"You cleaned up nicely," I say
"Why thank you,"
"So what is this ball for?" I ask
"Well, it's congratulating some contact they signed with Sony,"
"Shit, that's pretty good,"
"Meh," Tobias replied.
"Tobias is your going to act like that the whole time, I'd rather us not to go,"
"Like what,"
"Like a five-year-old child," I say seriously
"Well, I am Four," he jokes.
I see him in the corner of my eye with a smug smile on his face.
I laugh lightly shaking my head at his immaturity.
"I'm just a little nervous," he says
"For what,"
"Nothing in particular, just that'll act out and do bad stuff, I don't know," he says stressed.
"That's why I'm here," I say
"We're here," Tobias says
We arrived at a Johnson's Enterprises Hotel. The place was surrounded with luxury cars and people dressed fancily.
Tobias parked the car and we hopped out. Our hands were interlocked.
I feel his lips on my temple.
"I love you," he mumbles
"I love you too," I reply.
We walked up the red carpet the was neatly rolled down the stairs. We arrived at the front door.
"Name?" the doorman asks.
"Four," Tobias says
"Sorry, no Four here," the doorman replies.
"It might be Tobias Eaton instead,"
The doorman looks at Tobias and plasters a very fake smile on his face.
"Oh Mr Eaton, I am incredibly sorry I did not recognise you, please-,"
"Cut the act, can I just go in?" Tobias says agitated.
The doorman looks a little stunned and scared.
"Ye-Yes of course," he says before opening the rope line.
As if it does anything.
"I'm sorry," I apologise for Tobias to the doorman.
He gives me a smile and a nod before attending to the next guest.
"That was a bit rude," I tell Tobias
"I know, I know, I just want to get this over and done with," Tobias says fidgeting
"Stop,"
"Stop what," Tobias asks avoiding contact with me
"Look at me," I say, "Tobias look at me,"
I reach my hand up to the side of his face and turned his face to look at me. I slid my hands down to his neck.
"Calm down," I say softly.
I look into his eyes. His hands skim to my waist.
I hear him take a deep breath.
I place a light kiss onto his lips.
"I'm sorry," he says
"Stop apologising,"
"Sor-,"
I let out a chuckles and places a kiss on jawline before returning to hold his hand.
I look around and see everyone wearing modest formal dresses with luxury brands plastered all over it.
I move my dress a bit to cover a bit of my cleavage.
"Why didn't you tell me this place would be so fancy," I ask
"I did," Tobias asks confused.
"No, I know you did but everyone's dressed so," I do a hand gesture.
"I'm confused,"
"I'm the only person in this ridiculously large hall with there boobs popping out of their dress," I say
Tobias smiles "and what's wrong with that?"
I punch him in the arm with him laughing.
"Tobias?" I hear someone say.
Tobias and I both look.
"Evelyn," Tobias says.
"Son," she says.
Ohh the infamous mother.
"And who is this?"
"Beatrice Pedrad," I say shaking her hand.
"My girlfriend," Tobias says possessively
"A pleasure to meet you," Evelyn says
"Likewise," I reply
"I see you got my memo about the black and white theme," she says to Tobias.
I look around and see everyone wearing black and white.
"Well, you know me, always following the rules," he says
"Oh, stop with the attitude Tobias," she says
"The attitude I got from Marcus?" Tobias says menacingly
"Tobias!" she scolds
"It's Four," Tobias says
"I refuse to call you that disgusting name,"
"Than don't call me at all,"
"Tobias," I whisper, gripping onto his hand "calm down,"
"How old are you?" Evelyn asks
"I'm-,"
"None of your business," Tobias cuts her off
"Tobias she's a kid," Evelyn replies
"Excuse me?" I say
"Oh sorry did I offend you," Evelyn says innocently
"Yes, you di-,"
"Stop being a bitch, Evelyn," Tobias defends
"Tobias!"
"It's Four for fuck's sake," Tobias raises his voice.
I cower a little from how intimidating he is.
"Say sorry to Tris," Tobias demands.
I feel like a child. I can fight my own fights, and I don't need him to fight my own fights. I hate feeling weak.
"Tobias, stop," I say
"Apologise," Tobias growls "Or I'll make your life hell,"
"Four, you can't go around and throw senseless threats around," Evelyn scolds
Tobias goes does a sadistic chuckle "You and I both know that I can kill anyone in this room in the blink of an eye,"
Evelyn looks shocked.
"Hmm, have you ever heard of Four Eaton the prodigal dauntless agent?"
I see Evelyn's eyes widen.
"I have the tattoo to prove it," Tobias says
I am currently really confused. Tobias is acting like a psycho while being incredibly scary.
"Day by day you are slowly turning into Marcus," Evelyn says
"Don't you dare compare me to him," Tobias growls.
I see flames in his eyes as if he's a lion stalking down his prey.
"I just say the truth," she says
"Don't ever contact me again unless you want to see this company crumble to the floor right before your eyes," Tobias threatens before walking away.
I look around and see people staring at us. Well obviously, it's a black and white theme and Tobias and I are dressed in Navy and Red.
"Tobias what was that?"
"I don't know, whenever I'm near that woman I-I," Tobias stutters sounding frustrated.
"Shhhh it's alright," I console.
Tobias and I walk to the bar and he orders a couple shots. Drinking them within ten seconds.
I know this is selfish but I can't get over the fact that Tobias fought my fight. Oh well tonight is his night.
"You need to relax," I tell him.
Tobias smiles. OHH no
"I know something that can make me relax,"
"Tobias stop," I say
He pokes out his bottom lip. I lean over and kiss him, slowly. I disconnect with his lips and make my way to his ear.
"I might give you a blowjob if you stop being a narcissistic asshole," I whisper into his ear.
I see him roll his eyes.
Tobias gets a call.
"Hey Hunter,"
"Sorry can't out right now at my mother's business event,"
"I know, I'm sorry, you know med school,"
"I promise soon,"
"Okay Bye,"
"What did Hunter want," I ask
"Nothing important," he says "Come, I'm going to crash this party,"
Tobias walks toward a door.
I follow him like an obedient child. Evelyn was a bitch.
We sneak behind the door, behind it is a long concrete hallway.
At the end was a large board of power switches.
Tobias suspiciously is familiar with all the switches and works on them like a professional.
Within seconds the lights went out and it was pitch black before the emergency lights went on.
I start to laugh
"Oi!" we hear someone shout.
"Come on," Tobias says running.
I quickly kick off my heels before running after him. I feel the adrenaline rush through my veins as I take quick breaths in running with Tobias. This familiar feeling that I get before I shoot. Tobias pushes open the emergency exit door as we run into the packed car park. We quickly run behind a car.
I spot the security guards open the door.
"Fuck, bloody reckless teenagers," one of them curses.
"Come on let's go," the other says.
Excuse we're actually in our young twenties
I hear the door slam.
I start to laugh.
"That was awesome," I say getting up.
I feel Tobias's lips against my own.
"Thank you for tonight," he whispers "I'm a mess around her,"
"That's what girlfriends do," I say
We both smile as we walk back to the car. Our hands were familiarly interlocked with each other. On the way home it's a comfortable silence but I can't stop but think about what Tobias said. A dauntless prodigy? And I'm still quite pissed that he fought for me. Everyone thinks I'm a defenceless little girl and it's quite annoying. But tonight is his night.
