AN: thank you so much to those of you reading! Please, please give me some ideas because I really don't know. Also, please REVIEW and give your advice. I am thinking about starting a second story so please give ideas.

Tris POV

I wake up in an unfamiliar room with a pounding headache. The events from last night come flooding back- the drinks, dancing, and music. Tobias is no where to be seen though I do remember falling asleep next to him. I feel the nausea that comes with hangovers but I choke it down. I don't want to throw up in Tobias' toilet so soon. I look over and find a cup of water along with a pill and note.

Thought you would need this. I'm downstairs.

-Tobias :)

I smile at the thought and quickly take the pill. I climb out from under the fluffy blankets and stretch. As I stand, a wave of dizziness passes over me and I stand still as it goes away. I take a double take of his nightstand and sure enough, my eyes weren't fooling me. I sit on the edge of his bed and take the picture frame within my hands.

He still has the picture of us. We were at the typical high school party when Christina got a picture of us laughing, me in his lap. He later asked her for copies and I still have the one he gave me somewhere. Back then I was so conscious of how I looked. I always wondered why Tobias chose me. Since then I've become so much more confident. I have no idea why I worried back then. I smile and set the picture back on the nightstand and head downstairs.

Tobias stands in front of the stove whistling.

"Good morning" I say, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Morning" he says, turning his head and smiling at me.

"Watcha making?"

"Eggs in the middle" he answers, flipping over the piece of toast in the pan revealing the heart cut out in the toast with an egg in the middle. He scoops it up and places it on a plate where there are already four pieces. I remove my arms and go to inspect the breakfast.

Fruit sits in a separate bowl as well as hash browns. Tobias quickly chops up a few greens to put on the toast while also getting out orange juice.

"Does it suit your expectations?" he asks jokingly.

"Very much so" I answer, smiling. Tobias takes all the food to the table and pulls out a chair for me. "Thank you."

He smiles and grabs cups and plates. He pours me orange juice and passes the toast. I take a piece for my plate and get some fruit and hash browns. Tobias sits across from me and serves food for himself as well.

He raises his cup of juice, "To us."

"To us" I repeat. Our glasses clink together and we both drink. I take a bite of the toast first. "When did you become such a great cook?"

He chuckles. "I'm naturally talented." I roll my eyes and continue my meal. We make small talk until our plates are pretty much clean.

"Did you save any for us?" Zeke walks in, holding Shauna's hand.

"No, make your own breakfast" Tobias snorts.

Zeke glares. "You know I can't cook." Tobias laughs, clearly remembering a cooking incident. Zeke scowls but eventually smiles.

"Come on, I'll teach you" Shauna says, leading him to the kitchen.


Tobias takes my dishes and puts them in the sink. I check my phone to see it's 9:30. Ugh I have work at 10. Tobias leads me back to his room.

"How was breakfast?" he asks.

"So good" I say, dramatically flopping on the bed to get my point across.

"I'm glad" he says, climbing on top of me. He pecks my lips and moves down to my neck. He peppers kisses on my neck and then blows against my skin like you do to babies to make them laugh. I shriek, laughing as he catches me by surprise. He tickles my sides, making me squirm and laugh. He joins my laughter, his eyes sparkling. He stands up and pulls me to my feet.

"I have work soon, I need to go" I say sadly.

"Aw." He takes my hands and kisses my knuckles. "I put your dress in my closet." He retrieves it and hands it to me.

"Thanks" I say, heading to the bathroom. I finish getting ready and put on my torturous heels.

"Ready?" Tobias asks as I leave the bathroom.

"Yep let's go."


We arrive back at my place soon enough.

"Thanks for the ride" I say, leaning over, giving him a peck on the lips.

"No problem. I'll see you soon."

I smile and get out of the truck. I wave as I walk into the building and he waves back overly dramatic. I roll my eyes and the smile remains until I get to the elevator.

I open the door to the apartment to see Christina and Will sleeping on the couch. Their shoulders are bare and I'm sure the rest of their bodies are as well, but thankfully they are covered by a blanket. I pull off my shoes and leave them by the door. I try to be quiet but I trip over Christina's heels. "Shit."

Will's head pops up but Christina stays asleep, only shifting a little.

"Sorry" I mutter.

"Oh hey Tris" he says quietly, red tinging his cheeks.

"Don't worry I'll be gone in a few minutes" I say, winking. Will blushes harder and I smile, leaving to my room. I quickly pull off my dress and change into black shorts and an olive green Henley tank top. I brush out my hair and add mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick to my face. I pull on my converse and grab my purse and head out, taking my bike with me. I bike to the record store and check the time, seeing I'm going to be five minutes late.

I walk in the small shop and Susan glances up at me as I enter.

"Late again" she teases lightly. I set my purse and bike down behind the counter.

"I had a-" I yawn, interrupting myself, "late night." I head to the back, grabbing records to start sorting. She laughs.

"I can see that." I start sorting, dusting off a few of the records. I don't know why we even sell these, hardly anyone still has a record player. "So how are you and that lover boy?" she asks, giving me a smug look.

"Good."

"That's it? Are you like friends or-" she makes a profound movement and I feel my face burn.

"We haven't slept together yet" I say, crossing my arms. Susan laughs.

"It must be nice having already dated him. I mean, you already know limits and all that."

"Yeah" I sigh.

"Ooh, she's in love" she teases.

"Shut up" I grumble.

The bell above the door jingles as a group of young adults walks in. They disturb the quiet peace of the store. Susan greets them as she normally would.

"So what's he like?" she asks.

"Who?"

"Your boyfriend. Duh."

"Uh, he's tall. Brown hair. Blue eyes" I say stupidly.

"I know that, what about him as a person?" she probs.

"Sweet?" She rolls her eyes.

"You know what, forget it." she laughs. A young man purchases two records. I guess only weird people still buy records. The group leaves and the store seems eerily quiet.

Susan and I continue to work until 12, making small talk. A few people come in but we only make a few sales. We wait for the employees that will replace us. Late as always. I grab my purse and bike, ready to leave as soon as they come.

The bell rings and Tobias walks in.

"Are you working the next shift?" I ask, recalling he recently started working here.

"No" he says, giving me a peck on the cheek. In my peripheral vision, I see Susan smirking.

"Good otherwise you would have been in big trouble for being late." He chuckles.

"Hi Susan" he greets.

"Hello. How are you?" she asks, polite as always.

He glances as me quickly, smiling "Great. And you?"

"Pretty good."

"Here, I brought you lunch. Will told me you rushed out" he says, handing me a paper bag.

"Aw, thanks" I say, reaching up and kissing his cheek. The bell rings again and the replacements come.

"Finally" Susan mutters. The three of us walk out together. I see Tobias' old truck parked right out front. "See you Tris, Four" Susan says, heading the other way. I wave goodbye and yawn.

"Still tired?" Tobias asks, amused.

"No" I say and he gives me a look. I smile sweetly up at him. "Well I have to go."

"Where?" he asks.

"Café. My next job" I say.

"Aw I was hoping to spend some time with you" he pouts. I laugh.

"I wouldn't mind if you had a bite to eat at the café" I suggest. He smiles.

"Sounds perfect. Let me drive you."

He takes my bike and I climb into the passenger seat. He starts the truck and we drive off.

The café is quite busy today. I grab my purse and jump out. "Can I leave my bike here?"

"Of course." Tobias takes my hand and we walk in.

"Hey Tris" Christina says, sounding half dead.

"Busy night last night?" I ask, wiggling my eyebrows. She laughs.

"You have no idea" she says dreamily. Tobias smirks.

"Will told me all about it" he jokes. Tobias takes a seat at the counter where I will be working as I put on my apron and wash my hands. I hand him a menu.

"What can I get you started with?" I ask, trying to be professional but yawning at the end. He smiles and looks at the menu.

"Two iced teas" he says.

"Dang, you thirsty" I say playfully. He snorts and rolls his eyes. I make the iced teas and when I come back, a gorgeous brunette is sitting next to Tobias and talking to him. "Two iced teas." He smiles at me.

"I really don't need two" he says casually. I give him a 'seriously' look. He laughs. "One for you." I give him a small smile which grows when I see the brunette roll her eyes. I take a sip and can't help but be impressed by my skills.

"Need anything else?" I ask.

"Just a vanilla ice cream in a cone please" he says, a smug smile on his face. I get the ice cream and from the corner of my eye I see the girl try to make a move. Why do all the California girls try to make a move on him?

"One ice cream" I say, handing him the cone. I may have added a little extra to the scoop and it starts to drip.

"Why thank you. Want a taste?" he asks. I nod and lean in to take a lick. I smile as he gives me a look that makes me feel special.

"Can I get you anything?" I ask the girl as I catch her staring.

"I'm good" she says curtly. Well okay then. "So what's your name?" Tobias merely glances at her.

"Four."

"That's hot" she flirts. He ignores her and turns to me.

"So I came to ask you something too" he says.

"Yeah?" A couple takes a seat at the other end of the counter as he opens his mouth. "Wait a minute I got to get their order" I say, grabbing two menus.

I take their order of two coffees and hurry back to Tobias where the girl is talking to him once again.

"Anyway I was saying, Zeke and Uriah want to go to the little fair, you know, at four" he says. "Then dinner at our place at six. You in?"

"Yeah, sounds fun" I smile. "I'll be right back."

I go to the cash register a few feet away to where Christina is talking to Will, who showed up about ten minutes ago.

"Can you ring this up?" I ask, handing her Tobias' order.

"Yeah. Who's that chick?" she asks, eyeing the girl.

"No clue. Trying to flirt" I say. She rolls her eyes, smiling.

"You know her?" I hear the chick ask Tobias.

"She's my girlfriend" Tobias answers roughly. Christina smiles, obviously listening to the conversation as well.

"He's doing it right" she says, handing me the bill. I laugh and head back to Tobias. I hand him the bill and he gives me a light smile. The girl rolls her eyes and leaves. "Good riddance" he mutters. He pays the exact amount plus a tip.

"I don't need a tip" I protest. He rolls his eyes.

"Just accept it" he persists.

"I'll take half" I say. He gives me a stern look as I hand him five dollars back. I give Christina the bill and she gives me the receipt in return.

"I gotta bounce, but I'll see you soon. When's your shift over?" he asks.

"Three thirty" I answer.

"Okay. Do you need your bike? I can just pick you up" he offers.

"Sounds good, thanks." I give him a quick kiss and then he leaves. I sigh, excited for when my shift is over.


Three thirty finally rolls around. Christina and I laugh as she comments on how Marlene and Uriah haven't answered her texts all day. Tobias walks in the café for the second time today. I untie my apron and hang it back up.

"Are you coming to the fair?" I ask Christina.

"Yeah. I have to work fifteen more minutes though" she says.

"Oh, sucks for you. See you soon" I say, laughing as she glares.

Tobias takes my hand in his and leads me to his truck.

"Do you need anything from your apartment?" he asks. I think for a second.

"Yeah but I'll be quick."

We walk into my apartment and I lead us to my room.

"I just need to grab some things" I say. Tobias looks around my room, analyzing every inch. I grab a small leather back pack for the fair knowing I won't want to carry anything. I pack my wallet, water, sunglasses, my camera, and my emergency beauty kit.

I head to my bathroom and open my makeup drawer.

"Where are you going?" Tobias calls.

"Makeup. You can come in" I answer. A few moments later I have pulled my makeup out and Tobias comes in the bathroom.

"I didn't know a girl could own so much makeup."

"You should see Christina's collection" I mutter. I clean my previous makeup from my face and sit on the counter in front of the mirror on the medicine cabinet. I start with a little bit of foundation and highliter. Tobias bumps me as I start blending and I glare at him.

"Sorry, sorry" he laughs. He watches me as I start my eyeliner. "How do you know what to do?" His eyes are wide as if he can't believe it. I laugh.

"Practice." Soon I'm on lips, putting on a slight pinkish nude matte. "All done" I announce.

I pack the lipstick and eyeliner as well as makeup removal wipes in my bag as well.

"Let's go" he says eagerly. We leave the apartment and head back to the truck.

We arrive at thee fair shortly with ten minutes to spare.

"We're here early, what should we do?" Tobias says cheesily with a mischievous smile on his face. He leans in, but I put a finger to his lips.

"Lipstick" I remind him. He gives me puppy dog eyes and I can't take it. "Eh, screw it" I smile, closing the space between us.

The kiss is hungry and fierce. Our lips move in synch as if we've practiced and in a way we have. We separate when we run out of breath and Tobias places kisses on my neck. He sucks on a particularly sensitive spot, earning a moan out of me. Our lips connect once again. Tobias nibbles on my bottom lip and I grant him entrance to my mouth. My hands hold his face to mine and his go to my waist. We break apart soon, out of breath. He gives me a boyish smile and I can tell he's quite proud he managed to coax the kiss out of me.

I pull down the mirror that's on the shade thing. (You know what I mean?) My lipstick is smeared and I glance at Tobias to see some of it smeared on his lips. I grab a makeup wipe.

"Come here" I order.

"Yes?" I don't answer but wipe off the lipstick from his mouth.

"That felt weird" he complains. I laugh.

"Suck it up." I wipe off my own and reapply it. I check the time to see it's 4:05. "Let's go."

The fair is already quite busy. We find Zeke and Shauna waiting at the entrance.

"Do we need to pay to get in?" Shauna asks.

"Nope" Zeke grins.

"Where is everyone?" Tobias asks.

"Christina and Will are almost here and Uriah and Marlene just left Marlene's place of course" Zeke answers. I pull on my sunglasses and get my camera from my bag. I put my camera over my head so it hangs off my neck.

After fifteen minutes of waiting, everyone has shown up.

"C'mon let's go" I say eagerly, pulling Tobias and Zeke's hands.

"Woah there" Zeke says, pulling Shauna along with him. I came to the fair last year with Susan and it was absolutely great.

"What are we going to do first?" Uriah asks.

"That" I say, pointing to the rollercoaster that is clearly visible over the crowds.

"Alright let me buy tickets" Will says. We all pull out money, but Will stops us, "Don't worry I got it. I do have the best job anyway."

Everyone reluctantly puts away their money. As we stand in line, I snap some pictures that I will have to edit later. I get several pictures of swaying palm trees and a great picture of Christina putting on sunglasses with her hair blowing.

"Chris, look" I say, eagerly showing the picture.

"Damn, I look good" she laughs.

"You should be a photographer" Marlene says, looking over Christina's shoulder to see the picture.

"Maybe, you never know" I laugh. We finally get out of line and split up the tickets. We head to the rollercoaster but I get distracted along the way. I can't resist the smell of churros.

I get in line as everyone goes ahead, not noticing I left. In a few minutes I have a huge churro in hand. I leave the stand as my phone buzzes. I take it out of my pocket and answer thee call with churro in my mouth.

"Herro?" I ask around the churro.

"Where are you?" Christina says from the other end.

"Relax, I only got distracted. I'm coming right now. Bye." I end the call and find them standing in line in a minute.

"You can't just wander off" Christina scolds me.

"I couldn't resist it" I defend, knocking the scowl off her face as she laughs, shaking her head.

Tobias leans over my shoulder and takes a giant bite of my churro.

"Ooh" Uriah says like a little kid.

"Tobias!" I shriek as he laughs. I slap his arm playfully.

"I couldn't resist!" he mimics me dramatically. I roll my eyes and laugh. "Can I borrow your camera?"

"Be careful with my precious" I say, pulling it over my head.

"Will do" he laughs, putting it around his neck. I continue to eat my churro as Tobias snaps pictures of the rollercoaster.

"Lemme see" I say. He pulls up the pictures, showing me the blurry images.

"Not bad" he muses.

"Tobias, those are terrible, they're so blurry" I laugh. The others peer over to see the blurry pictures laughing as well. He pouts dramatically as he realizes the truth. "Here, hold steady like so" I say, adjusting his arms to take a better picture.

He snaps the picture and it turns out much better this time.

"Ah" he admires his own work. We laugh, continuing our small talk. I eat more of my churro and jump as Tobias snaps a picture of me. He laughs, showing me the product which turned out pretty good. Soon enough we get to the front of the line. We all put away sunglasses and I put my camera back in my bag.

We are on the ride soon enough. My palms sweat as the car climbs the hill. I grin at Tobias next to me and he gives me a nervous smile back. The heights. I'm caught in his eyes and I can't look away. I scream as we go downhill, not ready because of Tobias' eyes. The ride loops and spins and too soon it's over.

We spend the rest of our tickets on rides and games. Uriah discovers how good the churros are and eats a ton. Soon enough, he's sorry. He gets sick on one of the rides and glares everytime someone laughs.

I buy a giant lollipop that turns my mouth blue causing me to look like I'm turning into a smurf. The four of us girls decide to get our hair temporarily colored at a booth. The ends of my hair turn vibrant purple, Shauna's a bright blue. Marlene's hair is light enough for the green to show up but Christina pouts as the pink won't show up on her dark head. She convinces Will to get the hot pink for her and I must say, he works the look. I snap pictures of us with our bright hair before giving the camera to Christina. She captures more pictures, telling me some are for the scrapbook she's making. Six rolls around quickly and we all leave, eager to spend more time together at Zeke and Tobias'.

AN: Please, please, review! I know the ending was a little blah but I wanted it to be like she's kind of just recapping events if that makes sense. Longest chapter yet, I hope it didn't seem boring. Thanks for everyone who's reading.

Please give me any feedback, I would appreciate anything!
