Four POV:
I quickly hop out of the car and run into the house. It was tuesday night, and we were going to start charting out our rooms. I walk in the door and slam it shut behind me to let everyone know I was home. Everyone in the living room yelled "Ayy!" as we always do, as a greeting. Buster ran up to me barking and wagging his tail. I dropped my briefcase on the floor and fell to my knees. I ran my hands all over his body, rubbing him up and down. He licked my face and I winced. "Aww Buster, come on now!" I laughed.
"Hey man, welcome back." Uriah said from the couch. "Hey." I said standing up. Everyone was in the living room except three people. Tris, Chris, and Will. I sniff the air and a grin spreads across my face. Tris has been cooking again. I take off my coat and hang it in the closet. I run across the living room and everyone laughs. I run straight into the kitchen where I find Chris and Will sitting at the island with a bunch of papers across the whole thing. I smell chicken, and corn. I can tell Tris has something else cooking too, I just can't put my finger on it yet. Then my eyes fall on her.
Dear God.
She's so beautiful. Her auburn hair falls over her shoulders, and she is wearing a t-shirt and jean shorts again. As she turns around to face me, I hear her anklet jingle. Her caramel eyes lock with mine, and her face spreads into a grin. I run over to her and scoop her up. She squeals "Four! Put me down!" she laughs. I laugh and spin her around. "Nu uh, hun." I say, kissing her nose. She scrunches her nose in such a way that has me weak in the knees.
I put her down and she turned back to cook. "What are we making?" I whisper in her ear. She pulls away and grins at me. "Chicken, sweet corn, and mashed potatoes." she says lifting a spoon to my mouth. I take a bite of her potatoes, they're warm and buttery. "Perfect." I say when I swallow. She bumps me with her hip and smiles. She refuses to take compliments for any of her food. I wrap my arms around her waist from behind her, and sway her back and forth. She leans her head against my shoulder and I lean my chin on hers.
"Hey you two! Enough with the sweet hello's now, let's get to business." Chris says from her spot at the table. I groan loudly and kiss Tris on the neck before turning around to face Chris. "Alright, what are we doing?" I ask her. "Tris and I measured your guys' rooms this afternoon while you two monkeys were at work." Chris says sliding the blueprints over to me. I look at her in disbelievement. "Did you, uh, find anything interesting?" I ask the girls a bit concerned. "No, why?" Tris asks me turning around to stand by me. "Just wondering." I say smiling in relief at her. "Well don't worry, it was all clean." she says, whacking my butt with a dish towel before turning around to face the stove again. "Hey you, focus." Chris says reprimanding Tris. "Yeah yeah." Tris says before sticking her tongue out at her.
"Okay, you two go over this, and get a game plan of what you want before tomorrow night. After all, our baby is going to be here before we know it!" Christina squeals. "Our baby?" I ask quizzically. Will sighs, and the girls describe to me how all the girls have started calling it their baby. "Wow." I say, unsure of what else to say. "It's cute." Will says wrapping an arm around Chris. "Definitely." I say smiling at Tris who rolls her eyes at me.
"Okay, okay we'll go over it." I say giving Chris a piece of mind. "Thank you!" she says. "Shoo. Out of my kitchen." Tris said shaking her whisk at Will and Chris, who throw their hands up in surrender. "Whatever you say Trissy." Will says helping Christina pick up all the papers. They exit the kitchen and I lean up against the island while Tris continues to cook.
After a few moments of silence she turns and looks up at me. "What?" she asks me. "You sure you're okay with all that's going on?" I ask her. I know that this is probably a big step, and she's probably scared shitless. "Oh yeah, it'll be nice to have a new roommate." she says with a smile. I feel a sense of relief. I also am starting to feel a bit prideful that she wants to share a room with me.
"Alright how about we go over it after dinner?" I say setting the papers down. She nods her head and turns back to the stove. I watch her cook for a little while longer before I start to feel an immense desire to kiss her again. She's humming and stirring the corn, and her little butt is swaying from side to side. Before I can talk myself out of it, I'm standing up and walking over to her.
I wrap my arms around her and she nearly drops her spoon. "Mmm. I missed you today." I whisper in her ear. I sway her back and forth and she leans back into me. "I missed you too." she says in a small voice. "I want you to stay in my room now." I say rubbing my nose against her neck. "Sorry Four, I can't until it is time." she whispers. I sigh and kiss her neck "I know." I murmur against her soft skin.
Suddenly a timer goes off and Tris jumps back into cooking mode. She grabs everything out of the oven and places it all on platters. I carry out everything to the dining room and tell everyone to get in there. Once everything is all settled we all sit down and eat dinner. "So, how was everyone's day?" Susan asks us. I roll my eyes, she is like a mother to all of us. We all mutter our responses and jump into different conversations. I talk with Uriah about the gym, Zeke about the dog, and Caleb about the baby. Everyone has a story to tell, and we all have two ears to listen.
We finish dinner and Shauna and Zeke are in charge of dishes tonight. I grab Tris' hand and lead her up the stairs. She grabs the blue prints and magazines, even some paint chips. I drag her up into my room and shut the door behind us. "So I was thinking that we-" she began, but I couldn't help myself. I twisted her around and pressed my lips against hers.
I felt her relax and wrap her arms around my neck. I grabbed her ass and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around my middle and I slid my tongue in her mouth. "Four." she says out of breath. "Yeah?" I ask, kissing her collarbone. "Put me down." she says out of breath. Total cockblock. I sigh and place her down, but she grabs the collar of my shirt and pulls me down onto the bed.
I loose my balance and fall on top of her, and she kisses my neck. I feel a grin spread out on my face and I kiss her lips again. "Four." she murmurs between our kisses. I run my fingers along side her torso. I can feel the straps of her bra underneath her t-shirt. I slide my hand underneath her shirt and she gasps for breath. I move my lips from her mouth to her collarbone. I kiss her over and over again. I spread out my hand across her stomach which is shaking so badly right now. I slide my fingers up and trace the underlining of her bra.
"Please." she whispers. I run one finger across her cup. I feel my pants grow uncomfortably tight. I nod my head and slide my fingers underneath her bra. I cup her warm skin and it feels so soft. I squeeze her a little bit and she lets out a gasp. I feel her hips jerk upward and I know that if I keep going, we're going to regret it. I slide my fingers out from her shirt and grab her hips. I kiss her once more on the lips, then roll over on my bed.
She sits up and shakes her hair out of her face. She grabs the papers and then sits back down beside me. She shows me all the papers and her ideas. I smile at her, she is so bright when she's passionate about something. "So what do you think?" she asks me once she's done talking. "I think, it's a great idea." I say with a grin. Her face bursts into a grin and she jumps on top of me. "Good!" she laughs and I roll over so she's on top of me.
"Just so you know, once you move in, there is no moving out." I tell her, kissing her on the nose. "That won't be a problem." she says scrunching her nose. "You sure you can't just move in now?" I ask her. "Sorry, I don't think so bud." she says sitting up . I grab her hips, and realize she is right above my lower anatomy. I look up at her, and she is looking at me with such confusion on her face. She doesn't even realize how much she turns me on.
"God, you're so sexy." I say before pushing myself up and kissing her. She runs her hands down my back and I run my fingers through her hair. She is such a turn on. "Babe." she says out of breath. "Hmm?" I ask her. "Come on, they'll be wondering what we're doing up here." she says leaning back. I kiss her cheek. "So?" I whine. "So, come on. Let's go tell Chris we have a plan so we can go shopping on Saturday." she says jumping up.
I fall back onto the bed. "You go tell her then, I'm not going down there." I say with my eyes closed. "Four Eaton." she exclaims before slapping my butt. "Hey!" I exclaim pulling away from her. "You can't do that!" I whine. "Just did, now if you wanna do that to me tonight, you'll be getting your cute ass out of bed." she says opening my door. I sigh, but get up out of bed. The wicked woman knew how to play her cards. "Come on then." I say grumbling.
We go downstairs and I sit down in my overstuffed chair. Tris shows Chris all our plans and Will looks over at me with a knowing glance. What the hell have we gotten ourselves into. Once Tris and Chris are done exchanging ideas Tris walks off to the kitchen to put away our plan. "So Four." Will says waggling his eyebrows. "What?" I ask him. "What were you two uh, doing up there?" he asks me. I look around the room and see knowing smiles, and Caleb looking like he's about to puke. "Nothing you douchebag." I mumble.
Everyone bursts out laughing, and Tris walks back into the room. "What's so funny?" she asks us. "Nothing." Caleb says grouchily. It just makes us laugh harder. Tris shrugs and walks over to me and hops into my lap. She throws the blanket over us and snuggles against me. I smile as she shoves her ass against my hips. I roll my eyes at the way she slides her legs between mine. I nearly shiver at the way she runs her fingers down my ribcage. God Tris, you can't do this to me now. I squeeze her butt as a warning and she immediately stops. I know that she knows how to play dirty, but so do I.
"So, we'll go shopping on Saturday, and then we should be able to move in around next Monday night." Chris says from her spot on a couch by Will. "Great!" Susan exclaims. "Does that mean Buster can sleep in the baby's room until we have to do that one?" Zeke asks us. Shauna nods her head and both their eyes plead. We all laugh and nod our heads. "Sounds like a plan." Caleb says shaking his head, and wrapping an arm around Susan.
"So Marlene, I was thinking about cutting my hair this weekend." Shauna says, and then begins the conversations. It doesn't matter who they're with, or how long they are, there's always one to be had. I run my fingers through Tris' hair and realise she is lazily drawing shapes on my hand. I smile and talk to Uriah about the new yoga class he is installing. It ended up being a pretty perfect night.
Tris POV:
After we all said goodnight and hopped into our beds, I realized how cold it was in mine and Chris' bed. I needed the warmth of Four. I was about to crawl out of bed, when I heard Chris rustling on the other side of me. I stayed very still until I realized she was crawling out of bed too! That little rebel! She was going to go sleep with Will! I nearly suffocated from trying not to laugh, and waited until she left the room. Once she was gone, I slipped out of bed and padded over to Fours room. I didn't knock, I just opened the door.
Once it was shut behind me, and the lock clicked I turned around to see he was standing right behind me. His eyes were dark now, and I could feel the warmth radiating off of him. "Four?" I whispered. "Tris?" he asked me. I nodded my head and he took my hand. "I was just going to get you." he whispered tugging me under the blanket. I smiled and snuggled in with him. "I couldn't sleep without you." I said. "Me neither. I can't wait until you move into here." he said excitedly. "Just think, we'll have all the privacy in the world." I said smiling.
"I'll be able to do whatever I want with you." he said deeply, running his fingers over my hips. "You're able to do anything now." I whispered back. He slid his fingers down to my front. He dragged his fingers over the front of my shorts and I could hear my breath hitch. "It's been a long day, how about we do this tomorrow huh?" he says pulling me into him. I nod my head and breathe in his scent. Perfection.
I wrap the warm blanket around us both, and I run my hands up and down his arms. "I've got myself a pretty sexy boyfriend." I said squeezing his muscles. "The feeling is mutual about my girlfriend." he said tracing his fingers along my butt. I kiss his nose and tell him goodnight. I bury my head in the pillow and let sleep take me under.
The next morning I awake in what I am pretty sure is heaven. Four is shirtless in his bed, clenching to me for dear life. He slams his hand down on the alarm clock and I see it's 6:30. He groans and I giggle. "Good morning." I say smiling. "Morning." he says turning to me. "You're not allowed up out of my bed." he says wrapping both arms around my torso. "Four, I have to go to work." I say shoving him playfully off. "Work Shmerk." he says pulling me closer to him.
I laugh and snuggle back down "Only for a few minutes more." I say sighing. "I want all day though." he says yawning. I smile at him. I kiss his nose and he sits up. He lays on top of me and kisses my face all over. I laugh and giggle "Four!" I exclaim. "Come on Tris, no one needs us today." he says with a pleading look in his eyes. "Soon, okay? Someday soon we'll have all day. For now, we have to work though." I say sitting up. I stretch and stand up. "I'll see you when I get home okay?" I say before leaning down and kissing his tired lips. He nods his head and flips over in his bed.
I sneak out of his room and get ready for the day. As I'm eating breakfast with Marlene, Zeke, Will and Susan, Chris comes down into the kitchen. "Good morning everyone." she says perking up. "Morning." we all respond like zombies. "Hey Tris?" she says scooting in by me once she has her breakfast. "Yeah?" I ask her. The others had all returned to their own conversations. "Where did you go last night?" she whispers to me. I feel my heartbeat increase. "Where did you go last night?" I shoot back at her. "I went to go get some water, and when I came back you were gone." she said looking at me with concern. I nearly slapped myself in the face. "I thought you snuck out to be with Will, so I snuck out to be with Four." I mumble back to her.
She bursts out laughing and everyone in the room turns to look at us quizzically. "Damn Tris! That was a good one!" she says slapping her knee, playing it off as if I told a joke. I sigh, I knew she would keep my secret, but she would also tease me about it. "So did you two uh?" she asks me once she calms down and everyone returns to their conversations. I shake my head no. She slumps her shoulders. "Damn it Trissy, I need you to get some." she mutters. I roll my eyes at her, she tried so hard to play cupid. "Nice try Chris, not gonna happen for a while." I mutter throwing my dish in the sink.
I finish getting ready and Caleb drives me to work. "Have a good day." he calls out as I shut the door. I smile back at him and wave, he was such a sport. I made it through my day with gusto. I loved working at the bonfire.
I made it through the next three days with passion in the kitchen, and Tori tells me she's impressed. When I make it home Friday night it is a mess. I walk into what appears to be a mess of what's happening tomorrow. "What the?" I mutter as I slip off my booties. "What is going on?" I ask Zeke who is sitting with his head in his hands. "Chris and Caleb can't agree on a damn color." he said rolling his eyes. "What?" I ask him.
I turn my attention to those two. "For the last time, the baby's room is going to be blue." Caleb said with a tone that our father used to use. "I'm just saying, it would be much smarter to make it brown, that way you can decorate it for either gender." Chris said shrugging. I rolled my eyes and went into the kitchen where I saw Four cooking dinner.
"Hey hun." I said walking over to him. "Hey sugar." he said kissing my cheek. I gave him a real smile and sat down at the island. "You ready for tomorrow?" I asked him. He nodded his head and gave my a cheeky smile. "Ready for you to move into our room." he said. I rolled my eyes and watched him continue to cook.
"Do you want to do something tomorrow night?" he asked me, occupied with cooking. "Like what?" I ask him. "Like go clubbing with me?" he said, I could tell he was smirking even though he wasn't facing me. "Just you and me?" I asked him. "Yeah, it could be fun." he said turning around and leaning up against the stove with a grin. I nod my head "Yeah, that sounds great." I said with a smile. "Okay, don't let the others hear you though. It'll become one big group date." he said rolling his eyes. I laughed at his expression, but knew he was right.
"Alright sounds like a plan hun." I say sliding off the counter and back into the living room where the argument has finally stopped. I talk with Susan about how she's feeling until Four calls me back into the kitchen to help him set up dinner. Once everyone is eating in the dining room I feel myself breathe. I glance over my shoulder at Four who's laughing at something Caleb said. I smile, he has such a nice smile. We all go to bed, and I sneak into Fours room again. It has become a regularity for us, and it'll be so nice to just be able to sleep with him.
When we wake up in the morning however, and Chris and Will come barging into our room, I feel angst. "What?" I exclaim. Four pulls me close to him and groans. "Come on, up! We're leaving in fifteen. We'll get breakfast on the way there." Chris says ripping the covers off of us. "Come on now, let's go so she can stay on schedule." Will says opening the curtains. We both moan but get out of bed.
I move over to Chris and I's room and throw on a pair of jeans. I throw on a tight floral v-neck and grab my aviators. Chris is sitting on the bed and going over how much money we have to spend. I nod my head as I slide some foundation under my eyes. I tie my hair in a low ponytail behind my head and slide on some flip flops. She pulls me downstairs where I see Four is standing at the door sleepily. He has a black and white baseball style tee on. He's also wearing my favorite pair of his dark blue jeans and his tennis shoes.
He smiles at me and holds the door open for us girls. Four and Will ride up in the front of Four's truck, with Chris and I in back. She's going on and on about how we'll get things and how many to get before I finally snap. "Okay Chris, thank you. I think we understand." I say with a tired smile. She nods her head sheepishly, let's get some coffee into you." she mumbles. I nod my head happily. Coffee is definitely something I need right now.
Four pulls up to a Caribou and we all get coffee and a muffin. We eat our breakfast as Four continues to drive to the nearest Home Depot. When Four finally pulls up into the parking lot, we hop out and walk quickly to the entrance. When we make it in, Four and I duck off and leave Chris and Will alone. "Come on." he says laughing, shoving his hand in my back jean pocket. I can feel every time his fingers wiggle around in my pockets. It makes me wake up better than the coffee I had. That's for damn sure.
I smile as he leads me off to the paint. We both decided on a blue, with brown furniture. I grab a few buckets of the paint color we decided on , as he pushes the cart up to me. I place them in the cart and we move on. We pick up a small bookshelf, and a big dresser. We grab a few more closet rods, and then we move on to decorations. We grab a bunch of random plants and things to hang on the wall.
"How about this?" he asks me. He holds up a picture frame that is the most disgusting color of green I have ever seen. I wrinkle my nose and he laughs. "Kidding!" he exclams. I laugh "Good!" I say and we move on to comforters and sheets. We get a dark brown comforter and some lighter brown pillow cases. We throw a few more random things in the cart like a standing mirror, a rug, and some throw pillows. We finish what we need and we walk up to the front and wait for Chris and Will since Chris has the card.
"What is taking them so long?" he murmurs in my ear. "Please, they're probably still at the paint." I sigh. He groans and leads me to a little bench they have for people to wait. I rest my head on his shoulder, and he wraps an arm around mine. "Ugh, I just want to go home." I say sighing. He just smiles and doesn't say anything. "Someday soon." he murmurs to himself. I roll my eyes at him and continue to search for Chris.
When she does show up, she and Will are loaded down with two carts. We walk over to them and both our eyes are popping out of our heads. "Wow." I say. Christina holds her head up proudly. "I know right?" she says happily. Will sighs and shrugs his shoulders. We check out and load up Four's truck. With a few bungee cords, we're able to fit it all in one trip. We drive back to the house and when we arrive, everyone is waiting happily for us to come home.
They all greet us and help us unload. The men bring all the heavy stuff up the stairs, and all us girls coo over our cute decorations. Susan pulls me aside "I just want to thank you." she mumbles. "For what?" I ask her confused. "For moving in with Four, I know it was something we kind of pushed upon you, but you're taking it very well." she says with a grin. "It is totally fine with him and I. We understand we have to do what we have to do, but it is also something we both wanted." I say smiling at him as he throws his head back in laughter as Marlene trips over a pillow. "I just wanted to let you know how much we both appreciate it." Susan says smiling at Caleb. I nod my head and smile as he blows a kiss to her. They really do love each other.
"Alright, that's everything. Tomorrow us four will paint, and then Monday night we'll open all the boxes and get everything settled." Chris says smiling happily. "Well that didn't take us long." Uriah says rolling his eyes at her. Everyone laughs as Chris playfully whacks him on the shoulder. "Well what can we say, our baby is less than eight months away from us." she says grinning at Susan.
Everyone returns to conversations and I sneak upstairs. I look at the clock and see it's already one in the afternoon. I sigh and take a shower in the bathroom. Once I'm done with that, I blow dry my hair and paint my nails. I realize I'm starving at this point so I go downstairs and eat a sandwich and some fruit. I return upstairs and do my make-up and hair. I change into the last clubbing outfit I had and I search for my purse. Once I find it, I cram all my crap in it, and I walk down the stairs where everyone is talking.
They all stop when they see me walk downstairs, and I notice Four isn't down there. I feel my face burn red as all their mouths drop open. "You know Tris, we're kind of casual around here." Zeke says jokingly. They all laugh and I run my fingers through my curled hair. "Where's Four?" I ask through a smile. They all point behind me, and I see him walking down the stairs in a tux. "Well where are you two going?" Marlene asks all dreamy eyed. We both look at each other and shrug, it's safe to tell them now. It's not like they could come with us even if they wanted too.
"Clubbing." we both say at the same time. Everyone in the room groans. "Why didn't you tell us?" Will asks. "Because I wanted to take Tris." Four says leading me out to the garage. "Don't stay out too late! You two both have to paint still tomorrow!" Chris calls after us. "Yeah yeah Chrissy." Four says shutting the door.
He spins me around in the garage to face him "You look stunning." he says with a grin. I place a small kiss on his lips. "Not as good as you." I claim. I walk over to his truck and I hop in. We drive to the club we were at last time, and I find it exactly as I did last time. Four walks behind me, his hands leading my hips in the direction to go. We find a little table and decide to claim it as ours. "Dance with me?" he asks me. I grin and nod my head quickly.
I take his hand and he leads me to the dancefloor. He spins me around and presses me up against his body. I move my hips against his waist. He runs his hands up and down my front while he kisses my neck. "God I shouldn't have taken you here." he mutters. "Why not?" I ask increasing my speed. "You're too sexy. All these other guys are staring at you." he whispers. I look up and see several people watching us. "It's a good thing I'm not into them then." I whisper back. He nods his head and smiles.
He runs his fingers over my tattoo and the simple gesture has my body going crazy. I didn't understand what it was with his touch on my bare skin. We danced around for a bit for a few more songs, and then we walked back to the table. "I'm going to go get us something to drink." he said leaving me at the table. I suddenly realized how crowded this place actually was, it was swarming with guys. I kept my eyes on my hands and ignored all the eyes I could feel on me.
Suddenly Four returned to our table with shot glasses. "Drink this." he said glaring at the other guys who seemed to have disappeared. I gave him a thankful look and downed the glass. I downed another and my good mood returned. "Come on." I giggled. I took his hand and led him to the dancefloor. We spent the entire night dancing around and laughing with each other.
"Let's go home." he says after a song ends. I nod my head and he leads me out to the truck. When we get home we see the main level is empty, everyone must have already gone to bed. "I'm not even tired." I whine. "Me either." he says sighing. "How about a movie?" he asks me. I nod my head and grab a movie. Four takes off his jacket and hands me his dress shirt. I shimmy out of my dress and slip his shirt up over my spandex. "God I love when you wear my clothes." he says smiling at me. I roll my eyes and pop in a movie.
"Come here sugar." he says patting his lap. I hop onto him and he falls over. Tonight, we're laying on the couch together instead of his chair. I lay on top of him with my head on his chest, and he has his hands resting on my butt. "Thank you." I say through a yawn. "For what?" he says looking up at me. "For everything." I say before kissing him. He grins and turns his head back to the movie. We fall asleep with the tv still on.
I wake up to Buster licking my face. I groan and shove him off, which only results in him licking Fours face. Four opens his eyes and suddenly we hear a flash go off and we both look up disoriented. "Chris?" I ask with my eyes half opened. "How perfect, this will look nice!" she says. I slump my head back into his chest and he pulls me tighter to him.
Throughout the morning we hear people come in and out of the living room, but we both refuse to move. Even when I'm ready to get up, Four refuses to let me leave. "Come on, we've gotta paint." I say. He sighs and nods his head. He lets me go upstairs where I change and shower. I peek in his room where I am met with his back again, and his tattoos.
"Four?" I ask him. He turns around to face me with a shirt in his hands. I lean against the doorway and cross my arms. "What does your tattoo mean?" I ask him. He grins and walks towards me. He turns around and I run my fingers down the symbols.
"The top one, represents bravery. The second one selflessness. The third one honesty. The fourth one intelligence. The last one kindness." he says as I trace my hands down his back. "They're all things I strive to be everyday." he says through a strained voice. I rest my hands on his shoulders and he turns around. "Things I strive to be throughout my life." he says pulling me to him.
"I think it's beautiful." I ask him. "Just like you." he says before kissing my nose. "I'll go get some breakfast, if you want to start taping up the place. He nods his head and grabs the roll of tape. I walk downstairs into the kitchen and I grab the fruitbowl out of the fridge and set it on the island. Zeke walks into the kitchen at that moment and I look up at him. "What happened to Four? None of you will tell me." I say. He stops abruptly and stares at me.
"Because Four told all of us on his own, and we respect that he'll tell you when he's ready. Trust me Trissy, it's not an easy thing to talk about. He doesn't want you to be afraid of him." he says leaning against the counter. I look off out the window at the ocean. "Is there anything I can do?" I ask him. Zeke sighs and shakes his head no. "Sorry hun, I don't think so. Just be good to him." he says as he grabs a gatorade out of the fridge. I nod my head and bring the fruit up to the bedroom.
He's still shirtless when I walk back in the room and I roll my eyes. His eyes light up when he sees what I've brought. "Thanks." he exclaims. I smile and set it on the floor. I grab a brush and we spend the morning painting the room. We mess around in the room and go over where we plan on placing things again as we wait for it to dry. Once it's dry we begin the second coat.
I turn around to get more paint, and my cheek is suddenly swept with paint. "Four!" I exclaim. He giggles like a four year old and runs away from me. I laugh and chase him with the brush until we're both covered with paint. He scoops me up and I laugh. We stand in the center of his room and look around at what we had accomplished. "It's beautiful." I say wonderstruck. "It's ours." he says. I smile and nod my head. I kiss his nose and he pulls me close to him. We are very quiet for a minute until he speaks.
"Tobias." he says quietly.
"What?" I ask him softly, looking up at him. He seems to be straining to speak. His eyes are closed in concentration. "Tobias is my name." he says looking down. I break out into a grin. I lift his chin up to look me in the eyes. "Tobias Eaton is mine." I say, he grins. He presses his lips against mine and we stay that way for a long time. Warm, and Kissing.
Suddenly Buster breaks into our room and we laugh. We both pet him all over his body and I roll my eyes when Tobias let's him lick his face. Tobias. I roll the name around in my mouth. It's so him. I love it. "Tobias?" I ask him. He looks up at me with a grin. "Yeah?" he asks me. I realize I didn't even have a question. I just wanted to say his name. However now he was looking at me expectantly so I had to come up with something quick. I just let the first thing I could think of slip out of my mouth, big mistake. "Will you stay with me forever?" I ask him.
I look down at the floor and clamp my mouth shut, I can not believe I just asked him that. He drops his paintbrush and holds me in his arms. "Of course I will. I never want to let you go." he says latching on to me tightly. I throw my arms around his neck and he swings me around. "I've never had someone I knew I needed in my life Tris. Now I do. I don't know what would happen to me if you left." he murmurs into my hair. I tighten my grip around him.
I don't know what happened to him, but I know that the feeling is one hundred percent mutual. "I need you." slips out and he leans back. We lock eyes and then in one big motion we're all over eachother. Kissing eachother, and feeling all over.
"Woah!" Caleb says from the opened door. We both turn our heads to face him and Susan who are standing in the doorway. Tobias looks at them sheepishly, and then shuts the door. "Four!" I exclaim. He bounds over to me and scoops me up. "From now on, you call me Tobias. It sounds so beautiful coming from your lips." he says with a grin. I roll my eyes but nod my head. "Even in public?" I ask him. "Especially in public." he says still grinning. I laugh "Sounds like a plan Tobias." I say. He grins and kisses me on the nose again.
Someone calls out "Pizza!" and we both look at eachother and run to the door. He beats me to it and runs out of the room. I laugh and speed up to him, I jump on his back and he carries me all the way down the stairs. When we get down there everyone is already eating. They all stop and laugh at our expressions when we arrive.
We both grab a slice and snuggle down in our overstuffed chair. "Hey Four, how's the room going?" Uriah asks him. "It's great! Tris did most of the work though." he says sheepishly. "Yeah because someone kept painting on me!" I exclaim. They all laugh and he turns bright red. "Well I hope you guys like your room." Marlene says with a smile. "I think we will." he says with a grin. "Yeah I mean, Four finally sharing a room with a girl?" Zeke says with a waggly grin. "Hey man, she insisted." he said pointing at me. "Tobias Eaton!" I exclaim giving him a punch on the shoulder. He pretends to be hurt and we laugh.
We didn't even notice the room dropped silent. "Dude!" Uriah exclaims with a grin. "Tobias?" Susan asks with a questioning face. I look over at Tobias who is smiling at Zeke. "Yeah. Tobias Eaton is my proper name." he says with a grin. Zeke jumps up and picks Tobias up and starts shaking him. "Dude! That's your name!" he cries out. We all laugh and Tobias shoves him off. "Tris! Whatever you did to him keep doing!" he says scooping me up and spinning me around. I laugh and Tobias yells at him to put me down. "Bro! This is great! I'm still calling you quartz though." he says shrugging. "You have a great name Tobias." Shauna says grinning. I laugh as Zeke puts me down and kisses Tobias on the cheek. "Man!" Tobias says laughing and shoving him off.
"Thank you Tris!" Zeke says with the biggest grin I had ever seen someone have. All these people clearly cared as much about Tobias as I did. I would do anything for any of them. I had been here for a month, and I already felt so attached to them.
I knew I wouldn't trade any of it for anything in the world.
