This takes place two years after...

Proposal: Tris POV

"I don't know...I mean you two have been dating for two years now. You know it just might be time" I smile.

"Well what about you with Will?" She laughs

"Yeah but, that's different" I stop dead on tracks. Probably not the best idea at the mall. I mean...

"Omg walk faster!" A girl says underneath her breath. I roll my eyes. Christina takes me by my forearm and sits me on a bench.
"How is that different?" I ask with a smile.
"Because...I've...I'm not a virgin anymore" I feel myself stiffen. I cough a fake cough. "It's alright...call me stupid if you want to"

"No, why would I?"

"Tris!" I turn to see Uriah and Marlene running up to us. They got married a year ago. The sick thing is that a year ago I recieved the bouquet of flowers. We huddle into a hug "it's been so long!" Uriah exclaims.

"We see each other every day of the week" Marlene says looking strangely at Uriah. I laugh.

"I know but we just need to add that dramatic tension" Christina nods in all seriousness. I laugh again as Marlene punches Uriah's shoulder.

"You just interrupted a serious conversation Uriah" Christina almost yells.

"Hey, it's okay calm down" I say. Marlene laughs.

"Anyway...I heard fours taking you out to dinner" Marlene claps. I nod.

"Again" Uriah adds. It's true. Tobias has gotten the hang of this romantic thing that he takes me out every weekend. I laugh at this.

"Hey, don't judge him...he's never been exposed to so much romance" I smile.

"Can I help with your dress" Shauna and Lynn say making their way over. I smile.

"Why not"

"Don't you buy a dress every weekend?" Uriah asks.

"I rent them...Christina gives me these tips" I say lifting an eyebrow. I shrug.

After all the arguing I won. No dress for today. I just wore something elegant. I fiddle on my phone while I wait for Tobias to come. He should be here any minute.

I look up to see him wearing a button up shirt and jeans. I look at myself and back at him. He holds two bottles of wine.

"Uhh...that stuff is disgusting. I will never in my life like that stuff"

"It's what amity use to be happy" he comes in.

"I think I'm happy enough" I stand up.

"Right and that used to be me until I met you" he smirks. I smile. He leans in and kisses my cheek. Sparks and everything. "well, I'm glad you didn't wear a dress...it would be hard for you to hike" he leans back.

"Hike?" He shrugs.

"Well..."

"It's late Tobias...I am not about to walk in the wilderness" what is he thinking!

"It's not really hiking...it's more like Tobias way of being romantic" he says trying to act all cool.

"Oh and what is his way? Getting drunk and flirting with death" he laughs.

"If that's how you want to call yourself...but you're not deadly" I open my mouth to say something.

"Of course I'm not" I walk past him "shall we go" he shakes his head and heads off after me.

We step into an alley. I look around in every direction.

"Are we doing something illegal?" I whisper trying to match his pace.

"Maybe" he smirks. I tug on my jacket. He stops infront of a ladder.

"Oh" I say. He lets me go first. I climb the steps little by little and sit on the metal once I reach it. He climbs after me and sits next to me. I hand him the bag I was carrying with me "so...this is Tobias romance"

"Yeah...you don't like it?"

"No, I do...I like it a lot. I mean it's..."

"Daunting?" He questions taking the bottles out.

"Yeah, I guess you can say that. Oh and for the record I am not drinking that so if I choke..."

"You are not a little girl though" I stare at him. He smirks.

"Stop repeating history" I look at the building in front of us.

"History? This was two years ago"

"Exactly...anything that happens or that has happened now will be set in history...learn from it" he pulls out a few subway subs. I laugh.

"What? You don't like subway?" I can see he tries not to laugh but he ends up doing it. "Look it was the only thing I could think of"

"Right" I roll my eyes. He takes my face in his hands and pulls me closer to him. His lips are fresh against mine. I try to break the kiss but he only pulls me closer. I laugh he does too "mmm...we should eat" I say finally pulling back. He hands me a sub.

"Okay..." I unwrap my sandwich "I know how much you love chex mix"

"Oh and I thought you knew nothing about me" I say biting into my sub.

"I'm smart so..." I roll my eyes and chew. I swallow down my food before I talk.

"Right and I'm stupid so..." he laughs.

"Anyway, before I was rudely interrupted..." I nod "I brought you these" I look at the bag and almost spit out my food.

"Jumbo size?!" I yell.

"Yes" I quickly open the bag. Shoot.

"How did you do that?"

"I have money so..." I smack his arm.

"So...?"

"Yeah...?"

"Can we stop with this" he laughs.

"Okay, I'll stop" I grab a chex. I feel his eyes on me. I turn around.

"Stop staring at me!"

"Okay" he puts his hands up in fake surrender. I laugh. I place the chex into my mouth. I bite a- ow! I spit it out into my hand to find a ring. It has a single black pearl. I gasp.

"Wha-" I manage to get out.

"It was one of a kind..." He says. I look at him. I hear someone clear their throat "right" I hear him mumble stupid to himself. I stare at the ring in my hand "like I said before I suck at romance and I just totally skipped that line...will you...will you marry me?" I swallow. My lips dry. I wasn't expecting this...I turn to look at him.

"Are you kidding?" He looks at me "why ask" I throw myself at him and hug him. He laughs on my shoulder.

"I think we both suck at this" he admits.

"You do..." I say. He shakes his head "what about my dad..."

"I spoke to him...he actually helped me with this" I look at the ring. He takes it from my palm and places it on me. I understand why would need guidance.

Hey. There you have it. I will post a wedding and many other short chapters. Comment. Vote. Stay tunned.
