Chapter 6: Choosing Day

*7 months later from previous chapter*

Tris POV

Today is the day before choosing day. Tomorrow is first day of my job. I still can't believe it's been a year since I arrived here at Dauntless and met Four. He and I are getting married in 3 months and Christina won't stop talking to me about it.

"Ok let's talk cake flavors. Chocolate or vanilla? Wait is that even a question?!...I'm doing both." Christina says jotting down some notes on the wedding checklist.

"....Helloooooooo earth to Tris??" Christians says waving a hand in-front of my face

"Huh?..." my mind snaps to attention. "Oh yah um whatever is fine." I say.

"Are you worried about something Tris? You seem to be a bit...distracted." She says.

"Oh it's nothing I'm just anxious about choosing day tomorrow. And the wedding is in three months and I'm starting to get stressed not gonna lie." I reply

"Well that's what I'm here for silly!!" Says Christina.

"I knooooow, and I wouldn't be able to do it without you." I say, exaggerating my words.

"OOH that reminds me!" Christian squeals. "The wedding shop called and said you could come in and try on your dress! They finished the alterations. They also said Marlene's, Shauna's, Lynn's and my dresses are ready." She adds.

Marlene, Shauna and Lynn are my bridesmaids and Christina is my maid of honor. Uriah, Will and Al are Four's groomsmen and his best man is Zeke of course.

"Sounds good!" I say a little less anxious that some things are finally coming together. "Hey do you think we could talk more about this later? I wanna get some sleep and rest up my voice before yelling at initiates tomorrow."

"Sure thing." She says chuckling. "I can't wait to whip some Dauntless borns into shape. We can finally put our skills from leader training to use!"

"Yah." I laugh, "Well, see you at choosing day!"

"See you at choosing day." She winks

"Do you think I'll be a good trainer?" I say snuggled against Fours chest. We decided to go cuddle in my apartment tonight.

"Is that even a question?" He says, playing with my hair. "You're gonna be the best trainer we've had yet."

"Not nearly as good as my four-fears-Fiancé" I say giggling.

"I still think 7 fears is pretty dang good." He adds, "And soon...maybe I can help you get over that 7th fear."

His statement sends a slight tingle through my spine. Through the last few months Four and I have gone through a lot of ups and down because of my stupid intimacy fear. It's not that I'm afraid of being with him...it's that I'm afraid of what I want. He's always been so kind about it though, and made sure to never cross the boundaries of what I'm comfortable with.

"Then," he adds, "you can finally be Six."

"Four and Six." I sigh
