Tobias POV
I drive with Tris to my place to meet up with the others. She's nibbling on yet another cotton candy and I smile as some sticks to her chin.
"What?" she demands, catching my smile.
"Nothing" I say. Her eyes and cheeks are still bright from our time at the fair. She stares at me before deciding there's nothing worth her effort.
"If you say so..."
We arrive at the house soon and in the few minutes of driving, Tris has fallen asleep. She looks so peaceful and beautiful in her sleep, I hate to wake her. I tickle her nose with a finger. She twitches a little and smacks my finger away. I laugh and her eyes open. She yawns and looks around. "Oh, we're here."
"Great job figuring that out" I tease, getting out of my truck.
"Why thank you" she retorts. I open the door for Tris and she jumps out. We're the last to arrive which means the house is already loud when we walk in.
"Ah there are the lovebirds!" Christina says, snapping pictures on her phone as we walk in. Tris blushes and tries to cover the lens of the camera, laughing as Christina fights her.
"Who's cooking?" I ask.
"Dunno" Zeke says. I roll my eyes.
"Then what are we going to eat?" I say smartly.
"Calm your face someone will step up" Zeke teases. "Who's cooking!" he yells out.
"Tris and I!" Christina yells back, her hair messed up from her fighting with Tris.
"Told you" Zeke says.
"I don't know if I trust them in our kitchen" I laugh.
"I'm sure you and Will wouldn't mind watching then" Shauna says slyly.
"Wouldn't mind at all" Will says.
The four of us head to the kitchen and Tris and Christina start cooking.
"Beer?" I ask, opening the fridge.
"Hit me up" Christina says.
"Same here" Tris adds. I look at Will and he gives me a 'why are you asking' look.
I grab the beers and open each for everyone. I take a seat on the barstool next to Will. We sit in silence just watching our girls cook. Tris reaches in the cupboard for something and struggles when it's too high up.
I walk up behind her and lean on the frame of the cupboard. "Need some help?"
"What do you think?"
"Alrighty then" I say, reaching above Tris' head to reach the small bottle of whatever.
"Thanks" she says, pecking my cheek.
"Whatcha making?" I ask, looking at the meat inside a pan.
"Spaghetti" she answers, adding the spice I got down.
"Tris and I have the best spaghetti recipe" Christina adds, chucking a noodle at the ceiling. The noodle sticks and Tris laughs.
"Why is there a noodle on my ceiling?" I ask. They laugh again.
"It's to see if they're done cooking" Christina explains as the noodle drops off the ceiling and on to my head.
"Great."
I sit back down next to Will and take a drink.
"I've learned to stay out of their cooking" he laughs. From the other room, someone turns on music and Tris and Christina dance around the kitchen.
"Almost done" Christina says. The smell of the spaghetti makes my stomach growl. I get up again and lean over Tris who is stirring red sauce on the stove, a towel slung over her shoulder.
"So you made this all from scratch?" I ask.
"Yes we did" she says, smiling a goofy smile up at me. I give her an obnoxious smile back and a laugh bursts out of her. "Here try it." Tris holds the wooden spoon up to my mouth and I take a taste just as I hear a click. Christina and her pictures again.
"Very nice" she says in a ridiculous accent. I roll my eyes and laugh.
"The sauce is very good" I say, returning my attention to Tris.
"Why thank you" she says, dramatically flipping her hair. I laugh and roll my eyes.
"Dinner!" Christina hollers.
A line forms behind Tris for sauce and I'm lucky to be first. I'm served my share of sauce along with a smile from Tris. I take a seat and soon the table fills up.
We stuff our mouths with the heavenly spaghetti. Even Uriah is eating instead of talking. Too soon, the spaghetti is gone and there is a pile of dishes in the sink.
"Who's clean up?" Tris asks.
"I say everyone" Christina says.
"Good call" Tris muses.
"Alright people. Get your lazy asses up and clean those dishes" Christina orders. Everyone groans and makes their way to the kitchen. Christina opens a bottle of wine and pours some for her and Tris.
"Good idea, Chris" Tris says, clinking their glasses together.
"I know" Cristina says, taking a sip of her wine.
I get to work drying dishes and we're eventually done. Shauna and Zeke got in a water fight and now everyone's socks are wet. I swear it's the most disgusting feeling.
We head to the living room where everyone settles either on the couch or the floor. I'm on the couch with my arms around Tris who has her head on my chest and her legs stretched out. I trace random circles on her skin.
"I've been meaning to tell you, I'm leaving the radio store" I say.
"Why?" she whines.
"I got a job at the hospital. I'll miss working with you" I say, planting a kiss on her nose.
"I have to admit, I've been thinking about getting a real job too. I mean three jobs is a lot and I've already decided to quit the Lounge. Chris threw a fit as you can imagine" she tells me.
"Everyone, everyone, gather round" Zeke calls from the middle of the living room. Candles have been lit and the music turned off. Tris and I get up and join our friends in a circle. "Shauna." Zeke takes her hand so they are standing in the middle of us.
"Yes?" she asks.
"I love you. I've loved you for seven years, ever since I laid eyes on you junior year and you thought I only wanted you for sex." Tris giggles and I look down to see her filming. "And I will always love you. You're my other half, my love, and I never want to be apart from you. So," he drops on one knee and pulls out a small box. I hear Marlene gasp and Christina has watery eyes. "Will you marry me?"
Shauna nods furiously, her hands covering her mouth, tears in her eyes. Who would've known that Zeke would be the first to get married and at only 22. But they've been together for so long.
Everyone cheer as they kiss.
"Congrats, man" I clap Zeke on the back. The girls go to Shauna, squealing and hugging her.
"You're going to be my sister" Uriah squeals, mocking the girls. We laugh and continue the congratulations to the newly engaged couple.
I wake up on the couch , Tris passed out on top of me. Christina and Will and snuggled in an arm chair, Marlene on Uriah's chest with Uriah drooling on the carpet. Zeke and Shauna retreated upstairs and no one wanted to be around them where they were, with no doubt, getting it on. I shift a little and try not to wake Tris but I'm just unlucky enough to wake her.
"Morning" she whispers, looking down at me with a smile.
"Good morning beautiful" I whisper back. She blushes faintly and smiles.
"I need to call work" she says quietly and stands up. She pulls out her phone and leaves the room, leaving me with nothing to do.
I watch my friends sleeping while waiting for Tris. They're my friends and everything, but they're the ugliest sleepers in the world. Uriah has a trail of drool down his face and Will has the strangest snore. Christina occasionally mutters something in her sleep. Even in her sleep she has to talk.
Tris comes back a few minutes later. She takes my hand without saying a word and leads me to my own room.
"I quit the Lounge and the radio store" she tells me.
"Good for you" I praise.
"And," she says with excitement, "I got a job interview!"
"Really? Where?" I ask.
"You'll never believe it. I sent in a picture to Vogue for Fall styles of Christina and they loved it! They offered me a job interview as a photographer!" she squeals.
"That's great! When did you find out?" I ask. I have a smile on my face from her excitement and accomplishments.
"Just now when I took those phone calls" she says. "Of course I'm not a huge fashionista but I don't need to know-" I cut her off with a kiss.
"No matter what, you'll do great. They'll love you" I tell her. She blushes.
"Tobias..." Tris kisses me and I push her against the wall. When we pull back for air, I move down to her neck. Our hands roam over each other. Her hands move from my hair to under my shirt and back. Every second I'm with Tris is amazing, whether we're doing what we're doing now or simply talking.
Tris' hands move under my shirt and soon it's over my head and on the floor. Soon we're interrupted my a knock on my door and before I even move to open it, it opens.
Christina gives a quiet scream and Uriah covers his eyes. I feel my face heat up and I'm sure Tris' face is bright red.
"You know, you're supposed to knock and wait not knock and walk in" I say gruffly.
"I know I regret that decision" Christina shudders.
"Anyway lovebirds, breakfast" Uriah says somewhat awkwardly, laughing for some reason. I roll my eyes and pull my shirt back on.
The kitchen is filled with the smell of bacon, eggs, and pancakes. I pull Tris under my arm as we walk into the kitchen. There's still no sign of Zeke and Shauna. Not that I'm surprised.
"Guess what" Uriah says eagerly once we're in the kitchen.
"What?" asks Marlene.
"Four and Tris were totally getting it on! Looks like Zeke isn't the only one gettin' some" he yells, laughing.
"Oh my god" Tris says, laughing but with a bright red face. I roll my eyes and smile. I can't be mad, after all it was pretty fun. Tris smacks Uriah, her blush still on her cheeks.
"Uriah stop being overdramatic" Marlene scolds.
"I'm not!" he whines. I laugh.
"Well we weren't really getting it on" I clarify, laughing.
"I never would have thought" she laughs.
"Well" Tris speaks up, "I have to admit, if we never got interrupted he probably would have gotten some."
"Well I'm glad we didn't walk in any later" Christina laughs, dramatically shuttering.
"Really?" I murmur in Tris' ear.
"Really." she winks.
"Order up!" Will calls out, signaling breakfast is ready.
Out of the whole world, there's no place I'd rather be.
