AN: Again, sorry for the slow updates. But I hope you like the story. I know it's dramatic, but I hope it's okay. Let's try to get to 45 reviews. Thanks so much!

Tobias POV

I'm angry now. Angry at myself and her. I mean trying to kiss her? That was cringe worthy. But her getting that angry? That was unreasonable. Adele plays through the car as I drive home. I laugh as I realize how similar my situation and her song relates.

I pull the car up and walk into the house.

"How was it?" Zeke asks immediately.

"Good until I tried to kiss her and she blew me off completely" I say bitterly.

"Ouch" Zeke says. Shauna stays silent, leaning on to the counter, clutching a steaming mug.

"Yeah. I can't believe I tried" I say.

"Oh, don't talk bad. Give her time Four" Shauna says.

"Give her time? What about me. She's the one who walked away" I say angrily.

"I know but you two are like goals. It'll work out" Shauna says.

"She's right" Zeke agrees.

"I'd slap you if you said otherwise" she says slyly, taking a sip of her drink. Zeke doesn't say anything, just shoots a playful glare at her.

"And just think, you're badass ways are rubbing off on her" Zeke jokes, earning a glare from Shauna and I.

"I'm gonna get to bed" I say, dismissing myself. I head to my room, faintly hearing the whispers of Zeke and Shauna.


The alarm goes off but I choose to ignore it. I don't have anything important going on today.

"SHUT THAT DAMN THING OFF" Zeke bellows after the beeping goes on for ten minutes.

I turn it off and roll over in bed.

"HAPPY" I bellow back. No response. I stare at the picture of Tris and I on my nightstand. I'm still a little upset at both of our irrational actions but, I'm determined to make amends. I stretch and hear a few pops as my muscles relax. There's a loud banging at the front door but I ignore it, deciding Zeke can get it.

"Four can you get that?" Zeke yells.

"No!" I yell back. I'm far too lazy to walk all the way to the front door. A minute later the knocking stops and I close my eyes as I lay on my back. I force myself to get up for a run. I pull on a shirt and shorts before heading out.

I pull my shoes on and open the door. A single rose sits on the porch, a picture of Tris and I sitting on top of it. I pick it up and flip the picture around.

Four, I'm sorry

-Tris

A small note written in Tris' neat handwriting. At least she realizes her mistake too. I go back in the house and set the rose and picture on the counter before heading out once again.


By the end of my run I'm drenched in sweat and it's only noon. I walk through the front door.

"Fo-ur" Zeke says in a sing song voice.

"Yes?" I ask.

"What's this?" he asks.

"What?" I ask. I walk towards his voice to find him in the kitchen leaning on the counter over the rose.

"Uh, I don't know I think it's from Tris" I say stupidly.

"No shit" he says.

"What's going on?" Shauna walks into the kitchen, still wearing pajamas.

"Lover boy got an apology" Zeke answers.

"Aww you two need to talk" Shauna says.

"I know but I don't even know where she is" I say.

"I do. She's at the little café, you know which one. Take a shower then go" Shauna orders.

"But-"

"No I'm making you. Go" she orders again. Zeke laughs loudly sliding the picture towards me. I glare at him as I leave to my room.

I take a quick shower and dress casually.

"I'm going you better be happy!" I yell, hoping Shauna can hear. I put on my shoes as I hear a faint "good." I start the short walk to the little café. It takes about five minutes to get there and my palms are sweating as I stand in front of the building. I take a deep breath and open the door. The bell rings and several people turn to look at me. Two of which are Christina and Tris.

Christina wears her black apron. She leans on the counter next to the cash register, talking to Tris. I walk over to them, receiving a light glare from Christina.

"Um, hey" I say.

"Hi" Tris says shyly.

"I need to check on table two" Christina dismisses herself.

"Uh, did you get my note?" Tris asks once Christina leaves.

"Yeah. It was sweet" I say. The conversation is already awkward.

"Um I just wanted to apologize. I don't know why I acted up. I'm really sorry" she says.

"I wanted to say sorry too. Um, would you like to sit down?" I ask.

"Sure" she says, giving me a small smile. I lead the way to a table in front of the window. I pull out her seat for her, receiving another smile.

"I'm really sorry" I say.

"You shouldn't be. I overreacted. I don't even know what I was thinking. But honestly I still have feelings for you and I want to become friends again" Tris says.

"Me too. I obviously still have feelings for you" I say sheepishly.

"Can I get you anything?" Christina asks, approaching our table.

"A coffee please" I order.

"Green tea please" Tris orders.

"Alrighty" Christina winks as she leaves.

"I know we're just reconnecting, but I would to take you on a date" I say, stating it somewhat as a question.

"I would love that. When?" she asks.

"How about tonight? Eight o'clock?" I ask.

"That would be great" she says, smiling.

"Great" I say, returning the smile.

Christina comes and delivers our drinks. The warm cup of coffee warms my clammy hands.

"I'm really sorry again" Tris says.

"We both made mistakes" I say.

"I left you and then I got mad at you for no reason. I was just overreacting and it was stupid" she persists.

"I shouldn't have gotten so mad either" I say.

"At least we have a fresh start" she says. We continue to talk until our drinks are gone. Tris checks her phone for the time, a smile still on her face from my previous joke.

"Shit! I have to go sorry" she says, standing up.

"Alright. See you at eight?" I ask.

"Yep" she says. She gives me a peck on the cheek, a faint blush on her cheeks. I smile and she smiles back.

"See you soon" I say.


I button up my shirt and pull on some shoes.

"Good luck" Shauna says as I stand up.

"Thanks" I say rushing out.

I take a deep breath and knock on Tris' door. A moment later, the door opens.

"Hey" I say.

"Hey. You look good" she says, smiling.

"Can't say the same to you" I joke. She smiles and gives me a light punch to the arm. "I'm just kidding. You look amazing."

"Aw thanks. Like these shoes?" she asks, laughing. Despite the nice dress she's wearing, her feet sport casual Vans.

"Fancy" I laugh. "Shall we go?"

"We shall" she answers. I offer my arm and she gladly takes it.

We walk out to my old truck and I open the door for her.

"Where are we going?" she asks.

"It's a surprise" I say, knowing she hates that answer. As I predicted Tris scowls at me.

"Not funny" she says although I can see a smile trying to poke through her scowl. I start the car and pull out.

"Of course it is" I say.

She laughs and turns on the radio.

"Somethin bout, somethin bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman" she sings dramatically.

"Didn't know you liked this music" I say, laughing.

"I guess I've just been into it lately" she says.

Within a few minutes we're at our destination.

"The Lounge. How fancy" Tris comments as we pull up

"I thought you would like it" I laugh.

Once I park I help Tris out. She has to jump to the ground to get out.

"I see you haven't had that growth spurt" I tease.

"Oh shut up" she retorts.

"Hey Tris" the bouncer greets.

"Hey" she replies.

"Who's that?" I whisper to her.

"Al. Don't mind him" she whispers back.

We walk into thee club, it's just as busy as always.

"You want to start with a drink?" I ask over the noise.

"Why not" she answers. We head to the bar, weaving our way through the masses.

"What would you like?" I ask.

"I'm gonna take a Bloody Mary" she says.

"Fast start. Alright" I say.

"Hey Tris. What can I get you?" asks the bartender who I think is Ally.

"Two Bloody Mary's" I order for us.

"Coming right up" she says. I catch her winking to Tris and I smile. Soon enough, the drinks are here.

"How much?" I ask.

"It's on me" Ally says.

"Ally, you don't need to do that" Tris objects but Ally waves her off.

"Really, I got it" I say.

"Oh relax. It's one time. Now, enjoy your drinks" Ally says.

"Thanks Ally" Tris says.

"Yes, thank you" I say and she smiles at us.

We take our drinks and leave to a more roomy part of the building.

I take a sip of the drink, the alcohol making it's way into my system.

"This is good" I say.

"Of course. We have the best drinks" Tris smiles.

We finish our drinks and Tris says to just leave the drinks there.

"Shall we?" I ask, offering a hand.

"Let's go" she says, a smile on her face once again.

She takes my hand and leads me through the crowd. In the middle of the dancing she stops.

"The dancing style is very free here" she says.

"I think I know how it goes" I say. Tris bursts out laughing.

"I saw you and let me tell you, your dancing needs work" she says.

"It's not that bad" I say, smiling. She gives me a look that causes me to laugh.

"Ready like this" Tris says, guiding my hips as she moves hers with mine to the rhythm. "Baby I like your style" she sings as she guides my dancing.

"I think I got it" I say.

"I'm glad" she says.

She turns around so her back is against my front. She moves her body against mine and I have to admit, it feels good.

"You're a good dancer" I murmur in her ear. I feel her smile.

"You are too" she says.

A minute later, the song ends and she takes me to the bar again.

"Do you want another drink?" she asks.

"I'll take a shot of Vodka" I say.

"Hey Tori!" Tris calls.

"Yeah?" someone calls back.

"Two shots of Vodka. Hit us up!" she yells at Tori.

"Coming right up" Tori says.

"Don't worry these are free since I work here" Tris says before I can ask how much I need to pay.

"Okay."

The shots are here in a second.

"Ready?" Tris asks.

"1... 2... 3" Together we down the shot in one gulp. The drink burns my throat as it goes down.

"I'm going to have another free drink. Want one?" she asks.

"I'm good" I say.

"Tori, a margarita please." The drink arrives it seconds.

"Let's go" Tris says.

"You want to go back with your drink?" I ask.

"Don't worry I'm pretty good at not spilling" she says smiling.

We go to the dance floor again, bodies moving around us. I keep my claustrophobia in check as we start dancing again. Tris finishes her drink within minutes, faster than I could have.

She stumbles, obviously getting drunk.

"Easy there" I laugh, catching her.

"Thanks" she says breathlessly. She moves her arms to around my neck. "I have to tell you something."

"What?" I ask.

"Come closer" she says. I bend down more so I can smell the alcohol she was drinking.

"I missed you" she says. Before I can reply, she pulls my head down into a kiss.

She kisses me fiercely. By now I know she is drunk. I kiss her back, our mouths moving in sync. We push our bodies together and her hands move from my neck to my chest. My hands make circles on her waste, pulling her closer.

She pulls away, breathing heavily. "I missed you too" I say, also out of breath.


An hour later and the Lounge closes. Tris had another drink and is tipsy.

"I wore these shoes for a reason" she says as she stumbles again. I laugh.

"Let's get you home."

The drive is short, full of small talk. When we pull up to her building, I get out and open the door for her.

We walk to her place and as we walk down the hall, I grab her hand. Tris looks up at me and smiles.

"This was a great night" she says once we get to her door.

"I agree" I say.

"Sorry I got drunk" she says smiling.

"It was entertaining" I say laughing. She also laughs and opens her door.

"Bye Tobias. Thanks for the great night" she says.

"Thank you" I say. She laughs and gives me a peck on the cheek.

"Bye" I say as she closes the door.


I get home, exhausted. The house is dark and I turn on the hall light.

"I'm guessing it went well" Zeke says quietly from the couch, the TV casting light on his face. He has his arms around Shauna who is passed out. He's pointing to my shirt. I look down and see a couple buttons undone, probably unbuttoned during Tris and I's make out session.

"Very well" I say. He smirks.

"Good."

"I'm heading up. Goodnight" I say, dismissing myself before he asks more questions.

I head to my room, turning off the hall light. I undress and climb into bed, too tired to brush my teeth.

At least this night ended well.


AN: So sorry this update took so long. It's cliché I know. But I hope you liked it. The bits of songs were Dangerous Woman- Ariana Grande and One Dance- Drake. Please review. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you so much for being patient with me!
