My family left about forty minutes after that. They told me that they had missed me, even if that might be considered selfish. Julianna told me that her initiation was going rather well. My father and mother informed of rumors going around about that not only Marcus Eaton, Andrew and Natalie Prior aren't the only Abnegation to abuse their children, but that my parents did as well and that resulted in my transfer.
I walked around after my parents left, thinking about the rumors. I found an empty hallway.. I walked to the middle of it and sat down. I put my legs in crissed-crossed way and made sure that the skirt of my dress covered a vast majority of my lightly tanned legs. I put my elbows on my knees and put my head in my heads. I closed my eyes and started thinking about the rumors a little bit.
After what seemed like eternity, I heard heavy footsteps come towards me. I didn't bother to look up, knowing that the person wouldn't even bother looking at me or asking me what's wrong. I thought that the person would just walk on down the hallway.
"Ari? Are you okay?" asked a deep voice. It startled me. I lifted my head and found myself staring into Tate's beautiful gray-blue eyes. There were tints of gray everywhere around the iris, but the blue dominated the eye.
"Ari, are you okay? Why are you crying?" He asked. I moved my left hand to my face since my right hand was occupied by Tate's. I hadn't realized I was crying in the first place. I shook my head and responded with a quiet murmur of "I'm fine."
Tate looked at me with disbelief. The he closed his eyes and let out a sigh. He opened them again and gave me a cute side mile.
I gave Tate a small smile in return, but I could feel tears threatening to spill over. I bent my head down because of the tears.
"I know I met you about four weeks ago, but I can't ignore this feeling anymore..." And in that moment, Tate lifted my chin and looked into my eyes.
His lips met mine. I felt a spark. Not a spark, an explosion. I closed my eyes after a moment of shock. I kissed back, even though I had very little experience. I put my arms around his neck and my hands on the back of his head. Tate put his hands on my face.
It was probably the best first kiss ever.
After a few more seconds, the lack of air made us pull away. Tate's forehead was against mine for a moment before he broke the silence.
"I've got a question for you, Arabella." Tate whispered.
"What is it, Tate?" I responded softly.
"Would you like to meet my parents since I've met yours?" He asked.
I nodded my head slowly. He laughed softly and he stood up. He extended his hand in my direction and I grabbed it. Tate pulled me up into an embrace. He let go and grabbed my hand. He led the way.

Tate kept looking at me on the way to meet his parents. He gave me his adorable side smile and I gave him a small smile in return.
We walked into the meeting room for the Dauntless- born and I fitted right in with my black outfit. We stopped for a second and Tate looked around and started moving forward.
"Mom, Dad." Tate said as we got closer to a couple. They looked familiar, but who knows. The couple turned around and I stopped in shock. It was Four and Six!
He let go of my hand and hugged his parents. I wished I could've done that with my parents. Tate introduced me to them and we started talking.
"So, you're the girl he ran into on the day of the test." said Six.
"I guess I am." I responded, give a look towards Tate, who was giving me a nervous smile.
"Don't expect us to go easy on her, Tate, she's really good." said Four as he put his arm around Six's waist.
"I won't and I don't think she wants you to." Tate said as he grabbed my hand.
"Bye, Mom." He hugged Six. He practically towered over. Much like Four does.
"Bye, Dad." They gave each other a handshake. After that, Tate led me out of the room.

Tate led me into an empty hallway. He, then, pulled me into an embrace and captured my lips. When he pulled away, I looked up into his eyes. I loved them. They were probably more beautiful than my dull blue eyes. Tate, then, put his forehead on mine.
"If I survived meeting your family and you survived meeting my parents, I think we could do this." He gave me a wink.
We sat down for the rest of Visiting Day just telling each other about ourselves. It was perfect.

A/N: I felt like I rushed the kiss, but a certain friend complained to me about Aratate at school. Also, I didn't update at the beach because the hotel we stayed at had crappy internet service. At the FCCLA state conference, I participated in the FCSA's and I placed, but If you place you get silver unless you get the top three, you get gold then. So I got silver. I was proud of it. I hated the seven hour drive back, though.
