Chapter 21
Tobias/Four's POV:
I wake up and look at the clock. It's 10:00. I get in the shower and think about what's going to happen today. I am going to go pick up Tris and then Samantha. We are going to go to the movies and knowing Samantha, she's going to beg to do something else after that. I hope Samantha likes Tris. I get out of the shower and put on a tight black t-shirt, some black jeans, and my black Nikes. It's 10:55. I get in my car and head for Tris' house. I pull up in her driveway right at 11:00. I walk up to the door and knock. Her mom opens it. I remember her mom. Natalie Prior.
"Hi Mrs. Prior, is Tris ready?" I say smiling.
"Yes Four, she is." She says smiling back and then screaming upstairs for Tris to come down.
"You know Mrs. Prior, you can call me Tobias. I'm sure either Tris told you who I was or you recognize me."
"Yes Tris told me and I recognize you too, but I was heard that you prefer to be called Four."
"Only by people who don't know me." I say right when Tris gets down the stairs. She looks amazing. She has a black v-neck shirt on, black skinny jeans with a few rips in them, and her black combat boots.
"Let's go." She says smiling at me and walking out the door. I say goodbye to her mom and walk back to my car.
"You made sure you could see your tattoos with that shirt on didn't you?" I say raising my eyebrows.
"Actually I forgot about them." She said blushing. I start the car and head for my sister's house.
"Okay so what movie are we going to see?"
"I have no idea. Samantha likes to make all the decisions." I say laughing.
"Well okay then. How often do you do this? Take her out to a movie or something?"
"Every Saturday. We do whatever she wants to do. It's just me and her."
"Oh. You don't think she'll be mad that I'm here?" She says with worry in her eyes.
"No she won't. She likes making new friends." I say looking at her and smiling. "She told me to ask one of my friends to come."
"Okay. That makes me feel better then." She says smiling back at me.
We start talking about random stuff and I tell her everything I miss about California and she tells me everything she misses too. Fifteen minutes goes by fast though and we pull up to Alex's house. We both get out and I ring the door bell. Josh opens the door and Samantha runs around him to me.
"Uncle Toby!" She screams.
"Hey Sam." I say hugging her and kissing her on the top of the head. "This is my friend Tris."
"Hi Tris I'm Samantha! If I like you, then you get to call me Sam."
Tris laughs and says, "Well it's nice to meet you Samantha. You are very pretty."
"Thank you, so are you!" She says before turning to me and saying "come on Toby let's go!"
"Wait, where's your mommy?" I ask confused.
"Oh she went to the store. She'll be here when you get back though." I nod and Sam starts dragging me to the car.
"Samantha you can sit in the front if you want." Tris says before getting in the car.
"That's okay!" She says jumping into the back seat.
"So what movie are we going to see baby girl?" I ask looking at her through the mirror.
"White House Down!" She screams almost instantly. I laugh and head to the mall.
I don't know why, but I really want to sit by Tris in the movie theatre. Maybe I'll get the courage to make a move or something, I don't know.
When we get there, I go get the tickets and Sam stays there talking to Tris. I have no idea what she's saying and I'm kind of scared of what she's telling Tris. I walk over to them and Sam says:
"Toby, I like Tris! Can I sit in-between you two in the theatre?" She says excited.
"I guess. If that's okay with Tris."
Please say no, please say no, please say no.
"That's fine." She says smiling.
Dammit Samantha! I knew she wasn't going to say no, but I really wish she did.
I get some popcorn and some drinks and we head into the movie.
It was really long, but I have to admit, it was pretty good.
"You know Toby? Channing Tatum's character reminded me of you!" Sam said taking my hand.
"Oh really, and why is that?" I say raising my eyebrows.
"Well, he was really bold and he was really good at shooting a gun! Oh and he risked his life for his daughter and I know you would do the same for me."
She smiles up at me and I smile back. We walk to the car and she never lets go of my hand.
"I want to hang out with the two of you longer!" Sam says right when I opened my mouth to tell her it was time to go home. "Please Toby?"
I look over at Tris, waiting for her to answer her.
"Well I would love to do something else with you Samantha and I'm sure Tobias wouldn't mind doing anything else either." She says smiling at me.
No I wouldn't mind. Hanging out with Sam longer means hanging out with Tris longer.
"Sam. Call me Sam and let's go to the park!"
"You got it little munchkin." I say starting the car.
We get to the park and I sit on a bench while Tris goes and swings with Sam. She's been so good with her and Sam really likes her. We'll have to do this more often.
Two hours go by and I tell Sam that it's time to go home. She doesn't object because she's worn out. I notice she's not talking and look in the back seat. She is passed out. I pull into Alex's driveway and see Tris take a deep breath.
"Hey are you okay? I ask. Without thinking I reach over and put my hand on her thigh.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
"Tris, you don't have to come in if you don't want to."
"No I want to." She says smiling.
"Alright then, I'll get Sam and then we'll go inside and you can say hi to Alex."
Well, Samantha stopped anything from happening at the movies so blame her, not me. I know nothing really happened in this chapter and there was a lot of dialogue, but I hope you still liked it. Review please!
