(I do not own Divergent)
When I wake up on Saturday morning I look over and look at the ring on her finger and I smile wide and the feeling that I have in my heart reaches even further to my soul. I move a little and find that my muscles are extremely sore. I shift from underneath her and go out into the kitchen. "Ugh... it's a mess." I think to myself. I reach into my pocket and pull out my comm device and send messages to Zeke and Four and tell them to let all of our friends know that we are going to be throwing a party. I have decided that I want to tell everyone together that way we don't have to repeat things over and over.
After doing that I set about cleaning our mess from last night up. I leave the flowers and the tablecloth on the table, but take the dishes to the sink and begin to wash them. I get everything cleaned up and turn to head back into the bedroom but I see her. I stop dead in my tracks, she is just in her bra and panties. I love when she looks like this because I can see the Mockingjay tattoo she got on her hip as our little secret, because we love to watch the old Hunger Games movies together. I have been trying to find the books for weeks but am having a very hard time of it. She also doesn't know that I am getting a matching one on the inside of my arm today.
I walk over to her and kiss her on the top of her head and then go into the bedroom to clean up a little and make the bed and get dressed. "Babe, come here for a minute." I yell in her direction. "I'm right here." she says standing directly behind me. I turn around and say, "So, we are having a party tonight to tell all of our friends that we are engaged and I want it to be a surprise so if you could hold off on telling anyone until then, that would be great, Here is your ringbox if you decide to go out just put it in here." I take a deep breath at the look on her face. "I have some errands to run for the party tonight so I shouldn't be too long."
Her face kind of twists a little and I can tell that she wants to say something and then she opens her mouth. "Can I come with you?" she asks seductively moving her hands up her torso. "Mhmmm." I say licking my lips. "There is one rule though, you cannot ask any questions. Do you understand?" Tris nods her head and starts pulling on my favorite jeans. I reach over and smack her ass and she giggles and bites her lip. "We don't have time for that right now." I say as I smack her again. "I have an appointment in 20 minutes." Her eyes narrow and she crosses her arms.
"What appointment?" she asks. I look at her and tsk. "I said no questions." I say with a laugh and she rolls her eyes at me. I finish making the bed and put the laundry in the washer and pull on some clean clothes from the dryer. Pulling a tank top over my chest completes my outfit and the only reason I am wearing that is so Tori can have better access to my arm. I slip on my converse and grab the keys. "Are you ready to go?" I ask looking at her expectantly. "Almost." she says and takes her ring off and puts it in the ringbox and I am flabbergasted at how much it bothers me that she isn't wearing it. "It's only for today." I tell myself as she puts her hand in mine.
We walk towards the pit and when we turn to go into the tattoo parlor Tris raises her eyebrow at me but doesn't ask. I walk us over to Tori's station and sit in the chair and Tris sits in a chair next to me. "Hey Tori." I say as she approached us. "Are you ready to do this?" I ask winking at her. She laughs and begins preparing everything that she will need to make it perfect and then moves to the inside of my arm. "Oh, I forgot to tell you and Bud and George that we are having a party tonight and if you guys want to come you are all invited. It starts at 7." Tori looks at me and smiles and says. "Definitely, you guys are our two favorite customers and we are very happy to call you our friends." At this Tori places the needle to my skin and starts tattooing. Tris has her hand in mine and is moving her thumb across my knuckles and it feels so normal I am so happy in this moment.
When the image begins to take shape she gets a very wide grin on her face and looks at me. "Really?" she asks joy sweeping across her face. I nod my head and she stands up and kisses me. Soon Tori's brother George walks in and Tris goes over and talks to him. She tells him about the party and then sits down in his chair. Five minutes later he is shoving a needle through her lip and she gets a very tiny, very subtle diamond stud. "It looks great!" I say as George puts the healing ointment on it so it doesn't swell or impede her speech.
I feel the needle leave my arm and look down to examine Tori's handiwork. "Woman you never cease to amaze me." I say "You have have outdone yourself yet again." She grins evilly and says. "I know, you need to stop sounding so surprised." As she hits my arm. I wince a little and she laughs as she cleans it up and wraps it. "Thank you." I say as I hand her my card. I look over at Tris and admire how beautiful she truly is. "Ready?" I ask holding out my hand to her. She places hers in it and we make our way to the little grocery down further in the pit.
We pick up some snacks and cola and then make our way to the liquor store. We grab two 30 packs of beer and a fifth of each whiskey, vodka and rum. As we are walking through the halls she hits me playfully. "See, you couldn't have done all of this yourself, where are we going now?" I look at her and bring my face to hers and plant a kiss lovingly on her cheek. "We're going to go to the coffee shop and grab a little breakfast." We make it to the shop and set our things down and look at the menus when the waitress comes over we order coffee and banana nut muffins and enjoy each others company as we eat.
Finally we make our way back to the apartment and deposit the bags in the kitchen. Immediately she moves to the bedroom and places her ring back on her finger. "That's better." she says walking back into the kitchen. I beam at her and begin putting things away. After that we sit down and watch Catching Fire and cuddle not losing contact once. By the time it is over it's like 3 o'clock. I rise from the couch and begin to prepare the dough that I am going to need to make the pizzas that we decided on together.
Tris sits on a stool and watched me carefully her chin in her hands. Every once in a while I lean over the counter and kiss her. I set the dough in the fridge to rise and decide to go get the laundry into the dryer. I am walking by the bed and suddenly I feel myself falling into it and the next thing I know she is on top of me assaulting me with her lips. She pulls away from me quickly. "I love you." she says and kisses me again. "You made my life better, I never thought that I was able to love the way I love you."
I pull her face to mine and roll us over so that I am on top of her. "I can't wait until you are mine." I all but growl at her. She smiles widely "I am yours..." I move myself from over her and lay next to her on the bed. "You have changed me in ways I never saw coming. I thought I was always going to be angry on the inside, always alone, never knowing true happiness. I still get angry and sometimes my thoughts scare me but I have learned what it is to love and now I do better at controlling myself. You did that for me. Don't ever underestimate yourself. Do you understand what it does to me when you think things about yourself that are untrue? I just want to shake you and tell you that you are better than you know but I don't because the way to show you is to love you, just like you do for me." She wipes her face from the tears that have begun to form and tells me she loves me again. "I need to start cooking." I say moving from the bed. Tris nods her head at me and we both move to the kitchen.
The food is all prepared, the drinks are lined up on the counter. Four is bringing the ice so all we have to do is wait. Seven o'clock rolls around and there is a knock at the door. Zeke, Shauna, Four, and Lauren all walk in. Four sniffs the air and says, "Dude, please tell me that smell is your pizza, we haven't had that in ages." I point towards the kitchen and say, "leave some for everyone else Four." He laughs and then I hear it, the first gasp and it came from my best friend. She runs up and hits me hard in my arm. "How come you didn't tell me you asshole?!" She says. I look at her and smile. "What do you think the party is for, it literally just happened last night!"
Everyone else looks confused and there is another knock on the door before either of us get a chance to explain. Christina, Will and Uriah walk in followed by Tori, Bud and George. I move to let everyone in and tell everyone about the rundown. Food, drinks, and there is one more knock at the door and Max and his wife Brandy are there. I grab our glasses and a knife and bang on the glass to get everyones attention. "Hey guys, just wanted to make a little announcement for anyone that doesn't know. We put this party together to announce that Tris has agreed to be my wife." Everybody cheers and passes drinks around and the party is in full swing. The drinks flowed until the last person (Uriah) left at around 1 in the morning. Without looking back once to clean up Tris and I fall into bed exhausted.
