Tris POV
I wake up the next morning to the sound of whispering. I am about to sit up and open my eyes, but resolve on staying still with my eyes closed to see what the voices are saying.
"No, no Tris wouldn't do that," a voice says. Was that Christina?
"Four has no shirt on and her bra is on the floor," another voice, I think it was Shauna, says. Darn, I must've forgotten to put a bra on before I put back on my shirt last night.
"I don't see any other clothing, and there is no condom wrapper," Christina defends me. Oh, they think that happened… well, it almost did.
"But the box is open!" Marlene, I think, says.
"That means nothing!" Christina says, "They're not the first people to ever sleep in this room!" Ok, that's a mental image I didn't need. I snuggle further into Tobias's bare chest, and he lets out a small groan.
The girls in our room gasp. "They're waking up!" Shauna shrieks.
"I've been up," I mumble, eyes still closed, "Why are you in here?"
"Breakfast is ready, and I came to wake you up," Marlene says, "But then I saw… some… things and I got Christina and Shauna."
"Leave, now," I say firmly, and I hear the door close behind them.
I contemplate getting up, but I stay in my place. I soon feel Tobias's grasp around me tighten, and I look up to find open eyes.
"Good morning," I say with a hint of a smile.
"I love you so much," he says.
"I love you too," I say, and give him a quick peck, "We should head upstairs for breakfast."
"Not yet," he says, "I don't want this perfect moment to end."
And so we lay there still, taking in the time spent together but separate in our thoughts. After a few minutes, Tobias says, "Do you know what I just remembered?"
I turn his way. "What?" I ask.
"The first time I sang karaoke for you, on the first Friday night of school," he says, and I smile at the memory, "I had already fallen hard for you, but I knew that you were still doubting yourself, so I sang Wanted to you."
"I loved that day," I say.
"And afterwards, I went up to you, and you said that I did a great job," he says with a smile.
"I had an idea it was for me, but I wasn't sure," I say.
"It was, I remember seeing you blush when I finished," he says, and I blush a little now. He laughs.
"I asked you why you wouldn't sing, and you said that you were no good but I knew that you were lying. And then you said that you might sing for me one day," Tobias says hopefully.
I sigh. "You know my dad taught me to sing," I say.
"I know," he says, moving a hair out of my face, "but we all have things we have to move on from, and I think that you need to let go a little, even if this is just a start."
I take a deep breath.
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
I pause for a second, and look back up at Tobias. His eyes will me to continue on.
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
I stop, only have planned to sing one verse. "Keep going," Tobias whispers. And so I do.
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
So take my hand,
Tobias wraps his hand around mine.
And take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows so surely to the sea
Oh my darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
So won't you please just take my hand,
He gives my hand a small squeeze.
And take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help falling in love, in love with you
'Cause I can't help falling in love, falling in love,
I keep falling in love with you
(A/N: Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley, version by Ingrid Michaelson)
I finish, and Tobias pulls me into a kiss. Captivated, I kiss back passionately. Tobias moves his hands down to my waist, resting his hands on the bare skin under my shirt. I pull back when he starts to inch upwards, and give him a small smile.
Getting the hint that things wouldn't be going any farther, he brings me with open arms into a warm and loving hug, the type of hug that makes you wonder how you lived your whole life without it.
"That was beautiful," Tobias says with his mesmerizing whisper, "I can't help falling in love with you either."
"My dad always used to sing that song to my mother as she played the piano in our living room," I say, good memories now filling my thoughts, "He really loved her."
"I really love you," he says. We sit together for a minute or so longer until we decide it is time to get dressed and go upstairs for breakfast. I quickly throw on some sweatpants and a different t-shirt before Tobias and I head out.
As soon as I open the door, I hear sounds of pain behind me. I turn around to find the entire gang lying on the floor on top of each other. They must've been listening in on us that entire time.
"Seriously?" I question as Tobias just shakes his head.
"We just wanted to know what was taking so long!" Uriah shouts, "Zeke, get your fat ass off me!"
"I can't move at all until Will stops sitting on my feet!" Zeke exclaims.
"Well, Christina's on top of me!" Will defends.
"Oh, how awful, now all of you get up! I'm on the bottom, and running out of oxygen!" Uriah screams, and soon they are all off of each other and somewhat normal.
"What did you think was going to happen?" I ask, "What would be worth listening in on?"
"Maybe we'd get a moan, a thump, something interesting," Zeke says in a suggestive way.
"You are truly perverted, if that's what you want then I'm sure there's plenty of porn magazines in this house," I say, and Zeke flushes red.
We all go upstairs and eat breakfast, then watch Disney movies for the entire day.
This is my life.
A/N: Awful chapter, I know, I know. I honestly have no idea where I'm going with this story, I'm thinking there might be a time skip next chapter. Leave suggestions in the reviews!
