***I DO NOT OWN THE DIVERGENT SERIES
Chapter 8:
I wake up again to no Tobias. He has to work again. I role out of bed and begin to hop into the shower, but I remember what happened yesterday and go to lock the door. I decide to push that though out of my mind. I jump in the shower use the same shampoo I used the day before. It smells like Tobias. Yum.
When I get out of the shower, I walk to our bedroom to put on some clothes: black jeans, black top. Dauntless clothes. From the corner of my eye, I see a note on my bedside table. Tobias.
Good morning, Love.
Had to go to work again.
I'll be home around the same time.
Christina will be over at 10:00am.
I love you.
-Tobias
The note makes me smile. It's 9:56am. I guess Christina will be here any minute, probably because Tobias doesn't want me to be home alone for a while. I hear a knock on the door, there she is.
I walk to the door and check the peep whole just in case. Yep, it's her. I open the door.
"Good morning!" She walks on in.
"Morning." I smile.
She walks straight over to the kitchen and puts a pile of books and magazines on the counter then continues on to the cabinets, probably trying to find something to eat.
"Pancakes?"
"Sure." I walk over to help.
Thirty minutes later, we sit on the bar table stools and eat our mouthwatering pancakes.
"So…what are the books for?"
"Today…we are planning your wedding. Tobias told me we should get started."
I smile.
"I suppose so."
"Tobias told me he'd wear a tux, which is amazing. You need to wear a white dress."
"Tobias…a tux?" I laugh.
"Fine. I'll wear a dress-"
"Great. I was thinking it would be tight around your bodice, but flowy around your legs. That way your legs can move more freely."
"Okay."
"Here are some pictures."
She pulls out a magazine where some dresses are already circled in red marker. My eye catches one. It's white and long, with a sweet heart neckline, and fit around the bodice. It's classy and elegant with a pinch of sexy. I like it. I like it a lot.
"This one."
"That was fast, but nice choice."
"What do we need to do now?"
"We need to get your measurements, so that your dress can come in time of your wedding."
She gets a tape measure out of her pocket and she measures my waist, my chest, and my legs, pretty much every part of my body.
"Ok. I'll send those in today."
"Thanks." I smile.
"Now…where is your wedding going to be?"
"Hmm."
We sit on the couch and ponder. After a long while I have an idea.
"I know! You know when we first entered Dauntless we jumped of the train onto that building? Well, I think it would be fun if we get married on the roof, then Tobias and I can jump down into the net together!"
"Hmm. I like the way you think, Prior—Eaton!" she winks at me.
I imagine the wedding and I smile. I think Tobias will like it too. I hope.
"Now…who do you want to invite?"
"Hmm. Caleb, Cara, Zeke, Shana, Mathew, You, Amar, George, Uria—" Our faces sadden and tear pours down my face. Christina blinks her tears away.
"Lets not think about it." She whispers. I try to think of something else.
"Anyway…is that enough people?"
"Yea. I'll be the maid of honor, and Zeke will be the best man."
"Perfect."
"Reception?"
"I want something simple. Like…we could all jump down into the net and have the reception in the pit."
"That works. I'll get it all taken care of." She smiles.
"Thanks. Oh my gosh! I have to get Tobias a ring!"
"Well…Let's go."
We both head out of the apartment, and I am sure to grab my keys. We head to a small jewelry shop about a twenty-minute walk from our apartment.
"Welcome." Says an older man behind the glass counter. He is short and chubby, with huge glasses.
"Hi. I'm looking for men's wedding band."
"Great." He points toward a glass case with hundreds of wedding bands. Christina lingers at the women's wedding ring section. I guess I don't need her help with this one.
"Did you have a particular style in mind?"
Mine is silver. We should match.
"Silver." He pulls out a row of silver bands.
"Any of these pop out at you?" He smiles.
One does. It's silver and matte, it looks sleek and strong, like Tobias.
"That one." I point to the ring. He hands the ring to me and I stare at it, tears gathering in my eyes. I'm getting married.
"Excellent choice." The man says smiling. Christina walks over.
"Nice. Definitely Tobias."
I smile.
"I'll take this one."
"Great. Would you like it engraved."
"Yes. How about just Tobias and Tris."
"Simple. I like it." Whispers Christina.
We sit down at a table and fill out some paperwork so I can officially buy the ring. Tobias did this…not to long ago. By the time we finish the paperwork the ring is finished too.
"Here you go. Thank you." He hands me a small black box.
"Thank you."
We head back to the apartment.
