Chapter #2:Meeting and Greeting's
Tris POV
I can hear the music as soon as we walk out of the elevator. Walking to the apartment that Christina directs me to, I knock on the door twice. knock knock.
When the door swings open and we are faced with tall, dark and handsome. He has chocolate curly hair and brown eyes. He flashes us his perfect smile. He sees Christina and pulls her into a teddy bear hug. She giggles. Is this her boyfriend?
"How's it going Uriah?" Christina asks Uriah, I know for a fact that she is dating 'a' Will not 'a' Uriah.
"Good thanks. Who's your friend?" He says and points to me. I smile.
"Am Tris, Christina's friend. Nice to meet you" I shake his hand.
"Uriah, well nice to meet you too. Well see you in there" He disappears through the door. Christina and I soon follow.
Walking into the living room I only see like 10 people. They all stop talking when they see me. Awkward.
"Hey guys this is my friend Tris, I don't think you guys have met her before" Christina says, all of them seem nice.
"I am Zeke, nice to meet you" Tall, dark and handsome number 2 says. He looks like an older version of Uriah.
"Hi Zeke, nice to meet you" I say, I shake his hand then we smile at each other.
I haven't notice before but everyone is sitting in a circle. So Christina and I sit down and join the group. Christina starts naming people .
"This is Shauna" She points to the girl sitting next to me. "This is Will my boyfriend" She points a tall handsome blond with blue eyes.Thats her boyfriend "This is Marlene" She points to the strawberry blonde holding Uriah's hand. "You already met Uriah" I nod. "Zeke" I nod. "This is Lynn" She points to a girl with short blonde hair. "This is Lauren" She points to a long red head.
We all say quick hello's. Then conversation starts flowing easy, for everyone but me. Uriah must had noticed because he stands and sits down next to me.
"You look a little lonely" He says with a sad smile.
"Yeah….. So do you work at the hospital too?" I ask trying to change the topic.
"No I am a construction worker. What about you?"
"I work at Heather's coffee House" I say. "Is this your apartment?" I gesture around us.
"Yeah I live here with Zeke" He begins. "So what do you like to do on your free time?" He asks.
"Not much is going on lately, just trying to find a roommate, who knew it would be so hard" I let out a small depression laugh.
"Yeah same thing happened to me in college. Zeke was roommates to his best friend and I had no-one but the silver lining is that I meet Will" He points to Christina's, we both laugh when we see Will and Christina all over each other. Ewwwww.
"Thats gross" We both make a sour face. We continue to talk until I look at the clock and see its almost midnight.
"Well I should get going" We exchange numbers and say goodbye. I go in search of Christina for my ride home.

The next morning I waking up on the couch, I guess I was to lazy to walk to my bedroom. I decide to make some coffee. Since I don't have work today I let myself sleep in, its about 10 o'clock. I grab my coffee, laptop and walk to my bathroom to take a bath because sleeping on the couch has made my back very sore. When the water starts to get cold I decide to get out.
I grab my laptop and my phone and start calling possible roommates. I start with my number 1 choice. Four. The phone rings twice before and deep voice answers the phone.
"Hello my name is Tris Prior, am I speaking to Four?" I ask nervously.
"Speaking" The deep voice replies.
"Well I saw your roommate ad online and was wondering if you want to grab lunch because I am looking for a roommate and you happen to fit the bill perfectly" I say as nicely as I can.
"That would be great. When do you want to meet up?" He asks.
"Well I am free today if you are?" I ask hopefully.
"It just so happens that I am also free" We both laugh at the coincidence.
"Great, I'll text you the details later today" We both agree then we end our call.
Thinking I should start getting ready I change into a Black jeans, white t-shirt and light blue jean flannel with black booties. I forgo makeup today.
A couple hours later I am walking into the living room my phone rings, signalling a text message. Bing!
-Do you want to meet at Tori's cafe at 11:40-Four (11:14)
-Yeah sure. See you then-Tris (11:15)
I grab my bag and start walking to Tori's cafe now because it will take a good 20 minutes to walk there. Once I arrive, I order a coffee and take a seat by the window. I check my phone for the time. 11:39.
The sound of a chair moving across my table makes me look up. I see an extremely hot man. About 6"3 tall, and deep blue eyes and perfect jaw line. When I stand up and shake his hand, I feel an electric shock. What? He is a clear foot taller than all of me but being 5"2 everyone is taller than me.
"Tris" I says still trying to recover from the shock. He gives me a pantie dropping smile.
"Four, nice to meet you" He says. I smile back at him.
"You too" We both take a seat.
"Why don't you tell me about yourself" I say wanting to know more about this beautiful stranger.
"Well basically everything you need to know was on my ad… I work for Raymond Tech Inc, I'm a software programer. I just graduated top of my class at MIT. I have no living relatives. What about yourself ?"
"I work at a cafe much like this one" I gesture around the cafe we are sitting in. "I never finished college due to financial problems, there is not really much to talk about"
"So lets talk about the apartment. 2 bedroom, 2 bath, living room and kitchen conjoined, nice sizes living room, fully furnished, and storage garage. Rent is 1,050.00$ a month. Any questions?" I give him a quick summary.
"Nope I think you covered everything"
"Do you want me to show you the place?" I ask. He nods. I give him the address and we start walking to his truck. He's going to drive me because I don't have a car.
We walk into the my apartment and I show the kitchen, living room, his bedroom and his washroom, my bedroom, then I show in the storage garage in the basement. He looks happy with the place.
"So do you want to move in?" I ask.
"I would love to. When do you want me to start moving stuff in?" He asks excitedly.
"The sooner the better" I says.
"Well, I would like to move out of the hotel as soon as possible"
"How about this weekend?" I offer. I need the rent money by the end of the month.
"That sounds great. I can't wait to be your roommate" He smiles.
"Well new roommate. Give me a call on Friday and you should be moved in by the end of the week" We say goodbye and we go our separate ways.
I can't believe this is happening! This extremely hot man is my new roommate. Whyyyyy! How am I going to keep my feeling straight?
This is just Great, so great.
