The Way I Loved You {Divergent}

Part XI

"But I miss screamin' and fightin',
And kissing in the rain,
It's 2 AM and I'm cursin' your name,
So in love that you act insane,
And that's the way I loved you."

I settled on to the blanket Tobias had put out on the roof. He was inside, getting us lemonade; my favorite.

I hear the window to his bedroom open, and he slips out, with an extra blanket and two cans of pink lemonade.

"The stars are beautiful tonight." I tell him.

He lays down next to me and looks up at them. He stares for a few moments, before looking back at me. His blue eyes shine into mine, and he smiles slightly before sipping his lemonade.

"Almost as beautiful as you," he says after a few moments, and I roll my eyes and sit up.

He follows, and takes my hand, running his thumb over the palm of my hand. He leans in and kiss me, and I gladly except his lips on mine.

We kiss until I need a breathe, but he keeps his hand on my cheek.

"Are you sure we should be doing this?" I ask him, quietly. "I mean, it ended badly last time, I don't want to go through that again."

He frowns. "Then we won't break up."

I scoff. "What about all of our fights? What about the way we argued and fought and hated each other's guts until one of us stor-"

He gives me a kiss, to shut me up. "Tris I never hated you. Sure we got mad, but at the end of the day, we always made up. That's what being in love is about."

"Fighting?"

"No, love is about realizing that love is more important than a silly argument; that being with that person is more important that winning a fight and losing them."

I nod, and lean my head against his chest, feeling his heartbeat.

"How about we go on a date?" He asks. "We can catch up and talk and laugh and it will be just like old times."

"Okay." I say, and we fall back on to the blankets and stare off into the stars.
