You know the drill, all rights go to Veronica Roth.
There is no doubt that that is him. His dark hair glistens off the sun. I don't know what to do or say. I know he knows I am behind him, but he refuses to turn around. I step out of the shadows so I am only five feet behind him. He still does not move, this is really starting to piss me off.
"Tobias," I finally say, I do my best sing song voice.
"What the hell were you thinking," he spits at me. My jaw drops open. I didn't except him to be happy, but I sure did not except him to act like this.
"What is up with you?" He turns around to look at me, finally. Now I am really confused. His face is set in a straight line and he tries to make it impossible to read his face. He does an extremely good job.
"Tobias, please." He sticks his hands in his pockets and walks toward me.
"I was scared," He mumbles. I make a puzzled look. Scared? Of what?
"Of loosing you," he answers reading my mind. What? Is that it? I feel like laughing, but I know that would hurt him.
"But you know you were never endangering of loosing me." He is stiff and refuses to move.
"I know I was just being an idiot. I over reacted and hurt when you needed me the most. I am so sorry." I never thought I would hear that. I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair.
"Tobias, I don't want to fight. I want you back." He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me close.
"We good," he asks pressing his forehead to mine. I press my lips to his. His hands move up my back and tuck a strand to lose hair behind my ear. We break away from a second and get lost in his eyes. Dark blue, almost black, it is captivating. Light drops of water start to fall.
"One condition", I mumble as he kisses my nose. "You have to carry my back to camp." He laughs and scoops me bridal style in his arms. He leans down once more and gives me a light kiss on the lips. I hadn't known how much I missed to have Tobias's arms around me until they are back around me. I kiss his cheek and rest my head on his shoulder. I feel myself start to drift off, sure now I am sleepy.
"Tris, I love you," He whispers. I am too far away to answer.
"Tris," Christina screams, "what happened, are you hurt? I will go get a first aid kit!" Tobias sets me down.
"Chris, I am fine."
"Where the hell were you?" I point to the tree right above us.
"Holy crap!"
"Where is everyone else?"
"Caleb is looking for you at the river, Zeke is still somewhere in the woods, Uriah and Tori are somewhere around the town," Tobias says hugging me from behind. I let a smile creep across my face and Christina rolls her eyes.
"It is not like you and -," I let I go when I see Christina push back tears at the thought of Will.
"I'm sorry," I whisper. I put my hands over top of my chest right where I have Will's name tattooed over my heart. I guess it was kind of a way for me and Christina to move on. She has the same one tattooed over her heart. I wish he was here, Christina was happy with him.
"Tris!" I whip my head and see Caleb, Uriah and Tori running at me.
"Where the hell -," Tori starts, I just point at the tree.
"I guess you guys made up," Caleb motions to Tobias who still has his hands wrapped around my waist. I smile and nod.
"Come on you panyscakes, I am hungry," Uriah shouts.
"Don't worry Uriah, we have enough cake for everyone," Maggie says. I notice when Christina taps him on the back he turns red. I make a mental note to ask him about that.
"You hungry," Tobias whispers into my hair.
"Starving." He laughs and takes my hand; it feels good to have our hands linked together again. Ahead of us Maggie leads from the meadow where we have our tents set up to the town. We moved our tents so we were closer to the town and did not have to cross the river. Tori and Caleb seem to be talking and Uriah is giving Christina a piggy back ride. Really mature.
By the time we reach the Dining hall in the centre of town the Rain has forced us to run for shelter. The hall looks like most of the other buildings, except bigger. Rows of tables are set up inside and a large kitchen on the far side. Most of the other people are in there homes or tents. A table on the far end is full with a group of girls giggling and painting nails and another two tables on the left side is home to a group of guys and three girls. It seems like they are having a late lunch too, like us. One last table close to kitchen has one guy sitting there; it looks like three slices of cake in front of him. Zeke!
"I thought you said Zeke was looking for me?"
"I thought he was," Tobias answers sending a glare in his direction, I don't he has even noticed that we walked in.
"Dude, seriously," Tobias shouts smacking Zeke upside the head. Now he knows we are here.
"They got cake," He says excitedly, "Where's Uriah and Christina?" I whip around and find only Tori Caleb and Maggie.
"Damn it," Maggie whispers under her breath.
