A Better Life-Divergent FanFic

Chapter 5: The Proposal

Tobias POV

"It's perfect I say" staring at the diamond engagement ring I picked out for Tris.

"She's gonna love it dude." Zeke says clapping a hand on my shoulder.

"We'll take these two rings Zeke says to the cashier."
She hands us both our engament rings in their boxes and we leave.

"Good luck to you tonight man." Zeke says.

"Thanks...you as well for whenever you choose to pop the question." I reply grinning.

Zeke and I part says and I go start setting up every horns for tonight.

Tris POV

Christina and I are chatting as we finish decorating my apartment.

"So what are you and Four's plans for dinner tonight?" Christina's asks as she sets the last pillow on my bed.

"I don't know. Four told me to meet him on the ROOF of Hancock building for dinner tonight. So whatever it is must be pretty special for him to be going to 100 stories up on a rooftop just to have dinner with me." I say.

"Ooh I can help you pick out and outfit and do your makeup and hair if you want!!" Christina says almost squealing. "Pleasssssseeeeee can I???"

"Alright alright!" I saw laughing.

Christina gets to work immediately, going through my closet and picking out an outfit. When she comes back she hands me my tight fitting black pants with a semi- revealing, charcoal colored blouse along with some high top boots.

"Looking gOOd Tris!" She says after I change.

I look at myself in the mirror. I do look pretty good don't I?

Half an hour later my hair is loosely curled and my makeup is on point thanks to Christina.

"I wanna hear every detail about it tomorrow morning." Christina says, already halfway out the door.

"Ok." I say with a nod, a smile appearing on my face.
I fluff up my hair a bit, grab my jacket and just like that I'm off to get another romantic surprise my boyfriend has planned.

Tobias POV

I am on the rooftop of Hancock building. I try to distract myself from the fact that I am a hundred stories up and could fall to my death at any given moment. I finish lighting the last candle and make sure everything is set up for to proposal. I have champagne and hamburgers set up for dinner tonight. I figured the fanciness of dinner won't matter when Tris sees the ring I'm about to offer to her.

For the next few minutes I try to focus on my breathing, my heart rate getting faster and faster. I'm about to ask the love of my life to marry me. Worrying thoughts start crossing my mind. What if she says no? What if she doesn't like the ring? I push the thoughts out of my mind. A second later I hear someone walking up to the door to the roof. This is it. I think to myself.

My beautiful girlfriend, Tris, walks through the door. Her jaw drops when she sees all the candles and strung lights on the rooftop.

"Four this is-" she's speechless, and can't even get out the last word.

"So you like it?" I ask nervously

"Like it?! Tobias I love it!! It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."

"Mind if I show you something even more beautiful?" I say taking her hand. With that I get down on one knee and look into Tris's beautiful, bright eyes. I take the ring out of my pocket. Tears spring into her eyes.

"Tris...from the moment I saw you in your Abnegation clothes, your hair put neatly into a bun I knew there was something special about you. I saw bravery in your eyes and determination. Determination and bravery that got you through initiation. I've never felt the way for anyone else like I have for you. I love you and have ever since I took your hand and helped you out of that net. I love your adventurous spirit, your bravery, your selflessness, your divergence, and how you don't treat my like I'm some kicked puppy. What I'm trying to say is I love you and there was no one in the world that I would rather ask this question. Beatrice Prior will you do me the biggest honor of my life by marrying me?"

                                         ****

Tobias's question still rings in my head. "Beatrice Prior will you do me the biggest honor of my life by marrying me?" I cannot believe it! I only just turned 17, I met Tobias 5 months ago. A million questions burn through my head but one thing is certain that I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

"Tris?" Tobias says, started to get a worried look in his eyes. I quickly snap out of my trance of thoughts.

"Oh-...yes! Of course yes! A thousands times yes!!" I say tears now streaming down my face. Tobias puts the gorgeous, diamond ring on my finger. He stands up and hugs me. He then picks me up and swings me in a circle.

"I love you so much." He says setting me down on my feet. I press my lips to his smooth, warm lips. He gladly kisses me back. I run one hand up to his neck and through his hair, my other arm wrapping around his back. His arm curls around my waste the other cradles my head. Electricity and warmth pulse through my body. We are so close I feel like we are one thing, one thing so strong nothing can separate us.

                                         ****

"OH...MY....GOD!!!!!" Christina's screams as I hold out my left hand, which exposes the ring on my finger.

"This is amazing congrats you guys!" Uriah says.

Al, Will, Zeke, Shauna and Marlene also offer their congrats to Four and I.

"I wanna hear the WHOLE story and I mean the WHOLE THING!" Christina says excitedly.
First though I wanna have a quick chat with the future groom." Christina says staring into Four's soul.

"Have fun!" I giggle as Christian leads Tobias off to the side.

When they return Four looks slightly more terrified than he did going into the chat with Christina.

"What'd she tell you?" I whisper into Four's ear.

"Oh you know the standard stuff like if I break your heart she'll break my neck." He replies casually

"Sounds informative." I smirk

                                         ****

We all decide to go get drinks and celebrate.

Christina's around two beers in when she asks "Hey when you gonna get me one of those rings Will?" Christina's says gesturing to my engament ring.

Will's face reddens.

"Oh RELAX I'm just joking." Christina says giggling
"Oh my gosh!" She adds

"What?" I ask, my attention snapping to her.

"We need to start planning your wedding!!"

"I think we've got a little bit of time." Four says grinning.

"We'll let's at least pick a date to do get Tris's dress."

"And don't forget about the bachelor party!" Zeke says. We all laugh.

I continue to enjoy my night surrounded by all my friends but I can't keep my mind off of my amazing future husband.
