Tris POV:
I wake up the next morning, but refuse to open my eyes. My head is pounding like a drum. I tighten up into a ball, and I let out a long sigh before stretching back out. I shoved my head farther into what appeared to be a pillow. I opened one eye and took in my surroundings. I was halfway on the overstuffed chair, and covered in Four's blanket. I took notice of the other people, well girls, in the room. The boys must have been in the bedrooms, or gone already. I saw the rest of the girls sleeping around the room with their bodies also in uncomfortable positions. I sighed and pulled my ratty hair up out of my face. I saw I was still in that insanely tight dress from last night and I sighed. I shook my head and tried to wrack up an image of what happened last night. I shrugged and decided to wait to see if any of the other girls remembered.
I rolled off the chair, which was a big mistake. I fell right onto a pile of heels. I oofed and rolled off the shoes. I pulled the blanket around my body and smelled it once again. God, I couldn't get enough of his scent. I shook my hair out of my face and tiptoed to the kitchen. I planned on grabbing a yogurt or a banana, but what I got when I entered the kitchen was better than any food. I was met with a shirtless Four.
He had his back facing me, and he probably had no idea I was in the kitchen. I saw he had a tattoo on his back, a really big one. There were various lines trailing off of a row of chinese symbols. The lines appeared to be all symmetrical and curved upward when they reached his ribcage. I had no idea what the five symbols meant, and I figured I should ask him, but right at that moment he turned around and seemed startled by my presence.
"Morning." he said smiling sleepily. "Morning." I said. We stared at eachother for a bit while longer, and I could see he was looking me over. "What're you doing?" I asked him, cautiously moving forward to the barstools. He looked down at the pan he was holding, and seemed to remember what he was doing. "Oh, I was making some breakfast for everyone. In a little bit, you'll see, is their usual waking up time." he said focusing on the omelets he was working on. "Oh." I said sliding onto a stool. "Yeah, did you enjoy yourself last night?" he asked me carefully. I could tell this was his way of asking me what I remembered, and what I didn't. "Your guess is as good as mine." I said in a hushed voice, letting him know I had absolutely no idea what happened last night. He swallowed and nodded his head.
I shook my head a bit at myself, he clearly remembered something important that happened last night. "Would you want to tell me about it?" I asked him. He stopped stirring whatever he was stirring in the pan and looked up at me. His dark blue grey eyes locked with mine and I felt my throat go dry. By the look in his eyes, I clearly did something interesting last night. He leaned forward on the island, and stared at me. I felt myself tense up a bit at the closeness of us, but then realized that this was Four. This was not a stranger. "Tris. I'm sure you can remember by yourself what happened last night." he said pulling away from the counter. I felt my mouth drop open at this. He couldn't be serious right?
I tapped my finger on the counter "No, no, no. That's not fair." I said, my eyes wide open. "I'm sure you don't need me to help you put the pieces together." he said, I could tell he was obviously smug even though his head was facing the oven once more. I stood up and tightened the blanket around my body. I walked over to him by the oven and leaned a hip against the counter. "Four." I said looking up at his blank expression as he continued cooking. "Four." I said a bit more serious this time. I was getting fed up that he was ignoring me.
I pushed my hip off the counter and placed my hand on his shoulder to turn him around as I repeated his name again. I only got it halfway out of my mouth though, because as I placed my hand on his shoulder he whipped around. I was surprised by this sudden motion, but not as surprised by the way he grabbed my face. The way his eyes burned into mine for a quick second before he pushed his lips to mine. Suddenly I remembered what happened yesterday.
How I had kissed him on the cheek the night before. The way he looked at me as I walked down the stairs in my dress. How he ran his hands over my hips in the car. How he protected me from Peter. How he kissed me goodnight on my forehead.
I felt the blanket drop to the floor, and it was like my walls I had built up around me. He somehow broken through. I reached my hands up around his neck and clenched his hair. I pulled him closer to me as he held my face steady. HIs lips were warm and soft, but the way he kissed me was firm and sure. I felt my body press closer to his and he let go of my face, reaching down to my hips. I could have stayed there forever, in his arms and in his lips.
"What's burning?" we heard a voice say. We broke away suddenly to see everyone else had walked into the kitchen, and were also standing there with wide eyes. I soon realized that was Uriah, who was the last one to walk in. The first to walk in was Caleb. I felt my face burn and I reached down to grab the blanket and pull it around my body. Four bit his lip, and I felt my face flush, remembering that my lips were there just a few mere seconds ago. "Oh that's what's burning." Uriah said.
No one laughed.
Oh damn, this is going to be it. "Four." Caleb said with a blank expression. "Yeah?" he asked, nearly cringing. There was no real reason for Four to be afraid of Caleb, he was much more muscular, as well as taller. "Please just, not right in the morning. I haven't had my coffee yet." Caleb said grumbling and walking over to the coffee maker. What?
My brother was concerned about his coffee?
He wasn't worried about the fact that one of his best friends and his sister just kissed, in front of the rest of our friends, while one of them was half naked?
I shook my head and looked over to the rest of our friends who were all smiling and smirking at us. I gave Christina a questioning look, asking her if she knew why Caleb was acting this way. She opened her mouth but Zeke stopped her. "Jeez Four, Caleb gives you the go ahead, what seven hours ago? And you're already making a move on her? In the kitchen of all places? You dog." Zeke said slapping Four's shoulder as he quickly tried to save breakfast. What? Caleb gave him 'the go ahead'? What did that even mean? I shook it off and followed the girls into the dining room.
We all sat in our spots and they waited for me expectantly to stop shifting around. I ended up sitting with my back against one armrest, and my legs over the other. I tightened the blanket around me, then looked up at them. They were all hiding smiles. "So…" Susan began. "You and Four huh?" Shauna said snorting. We all broke into laughter and started crying from watching each other laugh so hard. We all eventually calmed down and wiped our tears. "Yeah well.. I had no memory of last night, and then I asked him about it. All of a sudden he was attacking me with his lips and it was like a switch turned on." I said shaking my head at my own stupidity.
"Were you surprised Caleb gave him the go ahead to be with his little sis?" Marlene asked me, her eyes shining. "Well yeah, I had no idea Caleb knew or any memory of that part." I said shaking my head with my eyes wide at the memory. "You guys looked pretty cozy there this morning." Christina said with a smirk. "Well yeah I mean he did just pull me to him-" I began to explain it in more detail. "No, no, no. This morning before that. In the living room." Christina said furrowing her brow, clearly confused as to why I had no idea of what she was talking about. I looked at her, and gestured for her to continue.
"This morning Four was still sleeping, in the chair with you." Christina said. I looked down at the table, my eyes wide and my brain in thinking mode. I tried to remember what happened but I was at a loss of thought. I looked back at her, and she continued to explain. "He had his arm around your waist, and his nose was in your hair. You were lying on top of him on your stomach. You had your hands on both his shoulders, and your head was buried in his chest. Your legs and feet were intertangled and you guys were both halfway under the blanket." she said smirking at me. I looked down at the blanket, that's why it smelled so strongly of him this morning.
"Oh." I said. Susan was about to say something, but at that moment Buster walked into the room and started barking. "Oh god." Marlene said holding her head in her hands. "What is he barking at?" I asked, wincing every time the noise came out of his mouth. "I don't know." Shauna said, also annoyed with the dog. Suddenly Caleb burst into the room "Bea, the rest of the boxes of your stuff from Mom and Dad's is here." he said. I nodded my head. I sent over a ton of boxes before I flew over here, it was just some things that were too big to have brought on the plane. I stood up and tightened the blanket over my body again as I practically skipped to the door.
I opened it to find the UPS man not very pleased with all the boxes. "Good morning." I said as I took the clipboard from him. He looked me up and down, and disapproval showed on his face. He silently took the clipboard and nodded to me. He walked back to his truck and I rolled my eyes at him. I excitedly looked at my boxes, and I tried to remember what I packed in them. Some cookbooks, some pillows, blankets, pictures, random things they had lying around the house, posters, and much more random things. Zeke, Uriah and Caleb showed up and brought all the boxes in. The girls were in the living room and Four was passing out omelets.
"What are we doing in here?" I asked them. "We figured we could help you open your boxes." Susan said smiling. I rolled my eyes and shook my head, but smiled at them. "Thank you." I said as Four gave me my omelet. I took a big bite, and the cheese seemed to melt on my tongue. I smiled and we all reached for a box. We all opened them at the same time and we all found the most random things. Uriah held up a picture frame that he stuck his head through. "Hey look! I'm Mona Lisa!" he exclaimed. We all giggled and we continued to open and sort the boxes throughout the whole morning. "Thanks guys, this would have taken me all day!" I say as I finish stacking the cookbooks. "Dang girl, I can't wait till you start opening those." Will said rubbing his hands together. I giggled and Marlene opened the last box. "Tris, you play guitar?" she asked before lifting my acoustic guitar out of the box. I grinned and ran over to her.
I took it from her hands and slid the strap over my head. "God I missed this." I said running my fingers across the strings. "Four plays the piano, you know. He's such a pansy." Zeke said shoving Four playfully. Four shoved him back and muttered something along the lines of 'shut up'. I looked up at him and he smiled at me. "Well Bea, you gonna play something for us?" Caleb asked me. They all nodded their heads, but I declined. "Sorry guys, I haven't played in weeks," I said. They nodded their heads in understanding. "But I would love to hear Four play." I said shyly. He locked eyes with me, and slowly nodded his head.
He walked over to the piano and ran his fingers along the keys. I smiled as he played a slow song that I had never heard before. It was beautiful. When he was done, we all applauded him and he shooed us off. "You were really good." I said. "Yeah, yeah." Four said dismissing the praise. I placed a hand on his shoulder and peered up into his eyes. "I mean it." I said before beginning to put the rest of my stuff away. I spent The rest of the morning cleaning up after our morning adventure. Once I finished I decided I would go out and start job hunting.
I got dressed and I told Caleb I was going to borrow his car since mine was still in Chicago. I drove out and I looked down at the list that Four gave me of places that I could work out. I started at the closest one to home. It was called 'Beachside Bonfire'. I shrugged at the name, I mean with a name like that, it had to be pretty decent. I saw the help wanted sign in the window of what appeared to be a big restaurant on the beach. The floor was the beach sand. It was a tiki style kind of place, with a big bonfire in the middle, where I could see people torching various different kinds of food. I smiled, this was my kind of place.
"Excuse me," I said to a tall burly guy. "Can you help me?" I asked him. "Sure." he replied with a smile. "I'm looking to apply here." I said with a smile, he seemed nice. "Oh sure, come let me introduce you to the boss. My name is Al by the way." he said leading me into another room. I was met with a hawaiian looking woman with dark hair and tattoo's. "Yes?" she said looking from Al to me. "We have an applicant here Tor." he said with a grin. "Oh thank god." she said with a sigh of relief. "Here. Take this, and apply for which ever position you need. We're short on practically every position there is." she said handing me an application. I smiled at her and began to fill out the application. Once I finished she looked it over and smiled at me. "Welcome Tris! I know this is very short notice, but you're hired! Any chance you can come in and start tomorrow?" she asked me. I nodded my head very fast. "Yes ma'am. I have a totally free schedule!" I said grinning. "Welcome to the family, hey Al! Come look at our new Sous chef!" she exclaimed. "Great job Tris!" he said with a thumbs up. I smiled and giggled a bit. "By the way, call me Tori. None of that Boss or Ma'am stuff." she said shuddering at the sound of the words. "Sure Tori." I said grinning even more.
I checked the time, and saw it was already 4. "Excuse me, but I need to get home about now." I said smiling. "Of course, bright and early at eight tomorrow morning Miss Tris!" she exclaimed as I walked out of the restaurant. I gave her a thumbs up and I skipped over to Caleb's car. I grinned and drove home. When I walked in the house, I saw no one was on the main level except Buster. I smiled and rubbed his head as I walked to the kitchen.
I decided I was in the mood to cook, so I pulled out one of the cookbooks that arrived this morning. I pulled out a recipe for a random pasta dish and started to cook. I turned up the music on the radio, which was sitting on the counter. I started dancing around as I began to prepare the bread and I sang along to a random pop song. I smiled and Buster came into the kitchen at the sound of the noise and laid on the ground by the island. "Hey buddy!" I exclaimed. He wagged his tail and I continued to cook for everyone.
People slowly started to drift into the kitchen from the smell of the pasta and the noise of the music. They congratulated me on my new job, and were impressed I found a job this quickly. I smiled, this was how life should be. Four walked in, he was wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt, and was fresh out of the shower. I figured he had finished working out. I looked down at my denim shorts, t-shirt, anklet and side braid and huffed a little bit. I should have put a bit more effort into my look today. I rolled my eyes and continued cooking dinner. Four went through the same process as the others did and I grinned, it felt different with him. It always felt different with him.
Four POV:
I am drawn to the kitchen by the smell of pasta, and the sound of laughter and music. I push the swinging door open and find the most beautiful sight before me. Tris cooking, all our friends around the counter laughing and drinking, and the dog wagging it's tail on the floor. This was how life was supposed to be I thought.
I ask Tris about her day and she shyly tells me about her new position at Beachside Bonfire, and I grin. I knew Tori would love her. I congratulate her, and she just smiles and turns back to the chicken and pasta dish she continues to work on. "Is that one from your cookbooks Trissy?" Will asks her. I begin to feel a bit possessive, he shouldn't be calling her Trissy. Then I look over and see his arm draped over Christina, and I am shot back to reality. What is happening to me? Will and Christina are obviously into each other, I think it was just from not really seeing her this afternoon. I want to scoop her up and have her all to myself.
She nods her head and I watch her hair bounce around. Oh god, I sigh, this was going to be so much more difficult once we both start to go back to work. It is going to be a nightmare all day, all I'm going to be able to think about is her. The way her anklet shakes with every step she takes, the way she lights up a room, and how she creates a fire in my stomach. Tris tucks her hair behind her ear in concentration, but it falls back into it's rightful place in front of her face. She finishes the dish and pulls the bread out of the oven. She shoo's everyone into the dining room, but I stick behind and help her finish up.
"Thanks for making dinner." I say placing various pots and pans in the sink. She nods her head, and smiles tiredly. "Hey, you okay?" I ask her, grabbing her waist. I watch her inhale, and nod her head quickly. I peer down at her face. She looks up and smiles at me, I can see how tired she is. It has been a long day for her, I can tell. "How about I finish up in here okay?" I ask her, not really giving her a choice. She sighs and nods her head again. I lean my forehead down and place it gently against hers. I can tell her face relaxes. She leans up and kisses me gently on my lips, and I kiss her back. She was amazing, her lips were so small and sweet. I wanted to deepen the kiss and go farther, but she pulled away and smiled at me. A real one, that reached her eyes. "Thank you." she said, and swayed her way over to the dining room.
I smiled to myself and finished up her task. I carried dinner into the dining room where I found everyone laughing and waiting impatiently to be fed. I rolled their eyes at their hoots when they saw dinner. Everyone dug in the minute I set it on the table, and everyone gave Tris high praise for her abilities. "Thanks Tris." was sounded throughout the dining room. She blushed and nodded her head. God, why did she have to be so modest? She should know that she is amazing in every way possible.
Once we finish we all spread out among the house. Uriah and Marlene were on dishes tonight, Caleb and Susan went up to the roof, Shauna and Zeke went to the basement to play some darts, and Will and Christina went to the living room to watch their show. Tris went out to the porch and brought her guitar. I stood in the kitchen by the sliding door watching her. She was sitting on the steps, and the wind was blowing her hair out of her face. She was playing the guitar and I could see the sunset over the beach in the distance. It was truly the most beautiful picture I had ever seen.
I slid the door opened and I walked out to the porch where I could hear her strum along to the guitar. The warmth from the wind and the smell of the beach surrounded the air around us. I sat down beside her, and she was unfazed. She continued to play her guitar and I smiled. I watched the waves of the beach, and I waited for her to be done. Once she stopped she looked up at the beach. I watched her every move, before she turned and locked eyes with me. "Four." she said after a while. "Yeah?" I asked her. "Why me?" she asked me. I was taken aback by this. Why not her?
She was gorgeous, smart, funny, caring, and kind. I didn't know what to say. We stared at eachother for a long time. "I could write a book with all the reasons why." I breathed out quietly. I noticed we were subconsciously moving closer together. "That's a lie." she whispered back. I shook my head no. "You know it's not." I said, and then she leaned in and closed the space between us. I locked my lips with her, she was warm. I felt my lower anatomy approve at this feeling. The warmth from our place, and from her. I slid my tongue into her mouth and she welcomed it. I knew that in that moment that I was a goner for this girl.
Suddenly Buster ran out of the sliding door and we saw Uriah and Marlene in the doorway giving us knowing looks. We laughed and they walked back into the house. Tris and I watched the sunset, and we talked about everything and anything that came to mind. Eventually the sun did set though, and we were forced to go back into the house and go to bed. Everyone said goodnight, and we all went to our own rooms. My room, was black, white, and grey. I didn't really have a drive for warmth before, but now it was all I wanted. I wanted her to paint it, decorate it, stay in it. I had no idea why I was going crazy, but I was. I found my wonderland.
It was her.
Tris POV:
The next morning Christina and I wake up bright and early around six a.m. She warned me last night that week day mornings were usually crazy, especially Mondays. I rolled over and fell right asleep, not really heeding her warning.
Boy was that a mistake.
Everyone was running around the house, some of us half naked. Marlene had her pants on but forgot a shirt as she was running around in a sports-bra, Will forgot his shirt, and Zeke was running around looking for a pair of matching socks.
The kitchen was even worse, Everyone was trying to find something to eat for breakfast, and someone was yelling out about pouring orange juice in the cereal, and it was a mess. I quickly ducked out of the kitchen once I was finished eating, I slipped on my shoes, and yelled for Christina to hurry up. I honestly do not think I could manage another minute in this house. It was more like a circus. Duke ran out of the kitchen with a strip of Bacon in his mouth and I sighed, this was crazy! "Christina!" I yelled again. "Five more minutes!" she yelled from the bathroom. I checked the time, it was already 7:30.
Four ran into the living room and jumped over the couch, he ran over to me and scooped me up in his arms. He spun me around while I giggled. "Four!" I exclaimed laughing. "What? You weren't planning on leaving without saying goodbye, were you?" he asked me setting me down and grabbing my hips. "Of course not, but what do I owe the honor of this extravagant farewell?" I asked him bringing my arms around his neck. "It's a Monday, and everyone needs a good Monday. Plus it's your first day of work." he said resting his forehead against mine. I smiled "Thank you." I said running one of my hands down his chest. "Can I count on making dinner with you when I get home?" he asked me with a sultry smile. I felt my heart flutter. His simple words woke me up, it was better than any kind of coffee you could have given me. "Of course." I said. "Mmm, what are we making?" he asked me, leaning in, running his nose down my neck. "Whatever, you, want." I said clenching his hair. He leaned back up with a smile. I leaned in and kissed him. "See you tonight Trissy." he said, kissing my nose and then walking out to his car.
I caught my breath and yelled for Christina to hurry her butt up. She came thundering down the stairs, and ran out to the garage pulling me with her. We drove out to Beachside Bonfire, and she dropped me off before going to her office. She runs a scrapbooking company, and loved every minute of it. Uriah ran the gym that Four talked about working at a few times a week. Zeke and Shauna are both police officers. Marlene is a hair stylist. Will is a personal trainer. Caleb is a therapist. Susan is the librarian at the country library. Now it was time for me to contribute to the house, as a chef.
I make it through the day learning the basics of the kitchen at Beachside Bonfire. I make several new dishes as I learn the club classics, and customer favorites. Al tells me about the usual customers that come in often, and he lets me know how to act around certain ones. He is very helpful and he seems like he could make a great friend. At six o'clock, I hang up my apron and I wait in the parking lot for Christina to come pick me up. I hop in the car and she interrogates me about my day, draining every last drop out of it. When we pull up to the house, it makes me smile and relax. I made it.
I step in the house and Buster walks up to me and wags his tail. He licks my thigh and I pat him on the head. I step into the kitchen where I smell seafood. I take in the smell of oils and garlic. There's just a tint of lemon in the air. "Hey." I say smiling and hopping over to Four. "Hey you!" he said smiling, pulling me into a side hug and kissing my temple. "What are we making?" I ask him. "Shrimp, and Salmon." he says shooing me off to the counter. "I want to help." I protest bumping him with my hip and taking the pan. He laughs and shrugs. "Okay, I'll get the salad ready." he said grinning.
I shook my hips around and started dancing. He turned up the radio and started dancing with me. I laughed as he twirled around me to get to the fridge. He threw a dish towel at me as I laughed. "Do not make fun of the dance master." he said. I threw the towel back at him and giggled. He danced around with the blueberry vinaigrette. I rolled my eyes, and he laughed at my expression. I was almost done with the seafood, so he grabbed the rolls out of the pantry and poured them into a bowl. "We're done." I said turning off the stovetop. I poured the shrimp into a serving dish, and placed the salmon on a platter. Once they were done I put my hands together and smiled at the view in front of me.
Suddenly I felt two big hands on my hips. I leaned into Four, and he leaned down into me. "Tris." he mumbled in my ear. "Yeah?" I asked him. "Is there anyway possible that you could want to go on a date with me on Friday night?" he asked me slowly and deeply. I felt a slow smile spread on my face. "I would love that." I said quietly. He wrapped his arms around to my front. "Thank god." he said laughing. I felt myself come undone from the inside, and I grinned. "What made you want to ask me this?" I asked him. "Well, I kind of have a thing for you." he said resting his chin on my head. I shook my head. He was ridiculous. "It's a good thing I have a thing for you too then." I said. He threw his head back in laughter and nodded his head. "Yeah. I guess it is." he said. We fed everyone dinner and then we watched a movie with everyone else.
It was nice.
Four POV:
I pull into the driveway on Friday night, and walked into the house. I was buzzing with excitement. Tonight Tris and I were going to a movie, and it was going to be amazing. Deep in the city, there's a movie theater that has two seater loveseats up and down the rows instead of chairs. I told her to wear something comfortable, like leggings or jeans.
As I entered the house I saw everyone was waiting in the living room, including Tris. We did what we always did when someone entered the house and yelled "Ayy!". Buster barked and walked up to me, I patted his head and he sat back down on his dog bed. "You ready to go?" I asked her. She nodded her head and stood up. She was in a pair of black leggings, and a bright blue sweatshirt. She had her hair down, and barely any make-up on. She was perfect.
She slid on some UGG boots, and we started to make our way out to my truck. "Hold up!" Caleb yelled from his spot where he was cuddling Susan on the couch. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Caleb yelled. I saw Tris roll her eyes. "So anything?" she asked him. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Susan said, and we nodded. I grabbed her hand and led her out, she giggled and followed me. I opened the passenger door for her, and she hopped in. I pulled out of the driveway and we sped off. "So, where are we going?" she asked me. I turned down the radio as we entered the city. "A special movie theatre." I told her, I could see the question in her eyes, but didn't go on any further. I still wanted her to be somewhat surprised when we got there. We laughed and joked around for the entire way there, once we pulled up to the big movie theater, the lights shone brightly outside.
We walked in and got our tickets, to see some chick flick that was playing. Tris protested against watching a chick flick, and wanted to watch a comedy instead, but I told her I was going to do this the right way. She rolled her eyes and smiled at me. I offered her my arm and she slid her small hands through it. I felt the electricity in her veins that woke me up, and started a fire every time I touched her. I got her some popcorn, and of course the first thing she did when she had it in her hands was throw a piece at me. I gasped in mock shock, and proceeded to take it away from her. She just laughed and ran to the theatre with it in hand. I laughed whole-heartedly. She was something that completed me.
I saw her enter the room we would be in, and she stopped short when she saw the place. It was exactly like it had looked online. There were comfy-looking black loveseats lined up and down the rows. I slid an arm around her and whispered in her ear "Surprise.". "I can not believe this is real." she whispered back. I looked around the room and saw there were only a few other couples around the room, very spread out. I took her by the waist and led her to one that was remotely away from the others.
I sat with my back against one of the armrests and stretched my legs out the rest of the couch. She didn't even hesitate to slide between my legs and lean her back against my chest. I took in the scent of her hair again and smiled, it was distinctly her. She held a piece of popcorn up to my lips and I took it from her. She giggled and I wrapped my arms around her stomach. The movie started and she settled into me, completely relaxing. This was exactly how we should be around each other. Not worrying about being caught by Caleb or any of the others.
We watched the movie and Tris laughed through half of it. I shook my head and tried to shush her, but she couldn't help herself. My girl was a tough one. Hold on. My girl? Damn, I was getting possessive. I needed to regroup a bit, and remember that just because she agreed to go on one date with me did not mean she was my girl. I shook my head, but I was overtaken by her scent. It filled my mind and my heart, and she was the only thing I could think about. I tightened my grip around her and she rested her head on my shoulder. I looked down at her head, and I realized just how hard I was falling. This was insane. I felt the lights turn on after the credits were over, and I knew that we had to go.
I knew that I had to do something.
Tris POV:
I sighed contentedly. This was the perfect date, aside from the chick flick. Four and I had been able to be close and relax around each other. We laughed and talked, he shushed me through half the movie. It was honestly the most comfortable situation I had ever been in on a date. The lights flicked on, and Four tightened his grip on me. I turned back to see his expression, he had a small smile on his lips and a thinking look on his face.
"Come on." he said. "Where are we going now?" I asked him. "I have no idea, but let's go anyway." he said holding my hands in his. "Four are you sure?" I asked him laughing. He turned and looked at me with a smile on his face and in his eyes. There was some sort of fire in him. "Do you trust me?" he asked me. I knew this was a question with way more meaning to it. I looked into his blue-grey eyes that sent electricity throughout my entire body. I nodded my head "Of course." I said squeezing his hands. "Good. Go somewhere with me." he said. I laughed and nodded my head. He laughed and threw me over his shoulder. "Four!" I exclaimed laughing. He laughed harder and ran out to the truck where he threw me in the passenger seat and ran to the drivers seat. He turned the radio on and flipped the bass up all the way.
I grinned as he sped off, he seemed to know where he was going now. "Where the heck are we going now?" I asked him. "You'll see." he said, excitement in his eyes. We ended up pulling up to a beach shore. It had a little bit of vegetation, but other than that it was all sand. "Come on." he said. I laughed and we ran out to the deserted beach. He left the doors to the truck open so we could hear the radio play. He picked me up and spun me around on the beach, and then he began to dance with me. I laughed and kicked off my socks and boots, my feet on the sand.
I saw him look out to the ocean and he looked at me with a wicked grin. "Don't you even think about it." I said giving him a strict look, but I knew it was no good. He picked me up and carried me into the ocean. I screamed and wiggled, but he was too strong. He laughed as he placed my feet in the cold water. I jumped back up and clung to him. "Don't drop me!" I screeched, soon realizing what I said. I looked him in the eyes. He stared into mine with such a deep intensity. They were filled with hope, lust, relief and something else that I couldn't quite put my finger on. "I'll always catch you." he said before he crashed his lips onto mine.
I tightened my legs around his waist and clenched his hair. He slid his tongue into my mouth again, and I felt my heart hammering. He tasted so good. I slid my tongue into his mouth and he sucked on it for a quick second. I felt my breath hitch. I felt my panties grow wet, and I knew it wasn't from the ocean. I bit on his lower lip and a groan came from his throat, and I was impacted so hard by the noise that came from him. It was like jumping out of a moving car, this feeling of adrenaline. I never wanted it to end. I realized that I had just as much power over him as he had over me. I wasn't sure what to make of this, but at this point I couldn't think straight anyhow. I leaned back and gasped for breath.
"Four, Four." I said shaking. He was trembling too, I was sure it wasn't from the cold ocean floor either. "This is crazy." I said. "Then be crazy with me, just for tonight." he said. I nodded my head, and he grinned. This time, it was me who crashed my lips onto his. We stood there for several minutes, sucking, biting and tasting each others mouths. Then he moved us onto the beach and laid me on the ground. He held himself above me as he rained kisses upon my face and neck. He slowed to a stop.
"We should probably go now." he said scooping me up. I pouted a bit at this, but realized he was probably right. Knowing our friends they're probably up waiting for us. I stood up and realized my back and legs were probably covered with sand. I quickly brushed off and turned around so my back was to Four. "Do I have any sand left?" I asked him. He rubbed my ass off then whispered in my ear "No, but you have an amazing little butt." he said slapping it. "Four!" I laughed and exclaimed, squirming away from him. "Hey little miss. You don't get a choice. This is what happens when you need me to catch you." he said wrapping an arm around my shoulders and leading us to his truck. I laughed and rolled my eyes. "Come on, you know they're probably waiting for us." he said as he and I got into the truck.
We drove home and talked about the movie and how ridiculous it was. He laughed as I rolled my eyes and scoffed in disgust. I laughed at his expression of laughing. The way he showed almost all his teeth when he smiled, and the corners of his eyes crinkled. We pulled into the driveway, and as we suspected, all the lights were on. We both groaned "God, it's like we're still teenagers." I mumbled. he laughed, and nodded his head in agreement.
We walked into the house through the garage door, where we found everyone still sitting in the living area. "Jeez, did you guys not move at all?" I asked them, shrugging off my blue sweatshirt. "No, we had to arrange some stuff for the two of you." Will said with a devilish sort of smile. "What kind of arrangements?" Four asked, serious mode. "We're all going camping. Leaving bright and early tomorrow, and coming back Monday. I talked to Tori, and she said you deserved a day off after your first week there. Besides, she said it would give her a chance to see how much pressure one of her other new chef's handles pressure." Christina said. "And we talked to Joe, he said you're off the hook. Said it was about time you take a damn break." Zeke said smiling brightly at Four. Four sighed and I threw my hands up in the air. "We're going. No if's and's or but's about it." Caleb said eyeing us up. We both sighed and nodded our heads. "I'm exhausted, and now I have to pack for this, so goodnight." I said, and Four led the way up the stairs. "Bea?" Caleb asked me once I turned around. "What?" I asked him. "Why is there sand all over your ass?" he asked me. I turned bright red. "Four!" I exclaimed and ran up after him. He ran into his room and I let out an aggravated sound, that was followed by a giggle. I sighed and headed across the hall to my room. Once I shut the door I felt a big smile spread across my face.
I wanted this feeling to last forever.
