Divergent High

Chapter 69~ Gestures

Tris POV (Time lapse- 1 week)
It's been a week since the big game and the night that made me realize how committed Tobias truly is to this relationship.

I sit up and fix the messy bun in top of my head, then grab my sweatshirt-or Tobias's off the chair and make my way to the kitchen. We have a couple hours till school starts, so there's no real reason to rush.

"There's my sunshine." I hear Tobias say as I walk over to one of the metallic bar stools. "The sunshine's out there." I say pointing out the open window to the rising sun.

"Nope. It's in here, and right there." He says and kisses the top of my head. I laugh softly and he returns to the stove where he's cooking something. "It smells good." I say getting up to retrieve and water bottle from the fridge. "Thank god." He says and I smile sitting back down.

"Can't believe we graduate next Friday." I say thinking out loud. "I know, it's crazy isn't it." Tobias says handing me a plate full of delicious looking food. "And proms next Thursday." He adds. Today's Friday, and next week is our final week of high school.

"Shauna's going with zeke." I tell Tobias taking a sip of orange juice, which he poured for me. "Well I'd hope so, since she's pregnant with his baby." He jokes.

"Yeah, she's so excited. She keeps sending me pictures of baby clothes she bought." I tell him and he laughs, and his smile says all that he's thinking. "I know you want one." I say to him. He looks up at me, his bright blue orbs staring at me. "And you'll get one." I tell him. He smiles bigger if it's possible,

"But we'll wait." He says finishing my thought. I go over and kiss him on the lips before going to get dressed.

I walk with Christina to my locker. Tobias dropped me off, he said that he had to go somewhere fast before first period. I get to the ugly navy colored locker and put in my combination.

"And he packed a picnic and everything!" Chris says gushes about how will asked her to be his date to prom. "That's sweet Chris." I say smiling to her. She opens up her locker as I do with mine. But when I do I find myself looking at something I normally never find in my locker.

Red Roses.

I bunch of red roses, "Oh my gosh!" Christina squeals looking at them. I pull them out and they have a small card attached. It's simple and reads, Beautiful Flowers for a Beautiful Girl.

Honestly it's cheesy, but so sweet. It's obviously Tobias's doing, or at least I hope so. Otherwise he'd have a reason to be jealous.

"Come on we're gonna be late." Chris says and I put them back in my locker, grab my books and head to class.

**********
It's after school, and all day I've been finding small romantic things from Tobias, except I haven't seen him all day. I'm walking in the small field they have here that leads to the parking lot. I had to ask Chris for a ride because Tobias never came back, I'm not upset though. "So did you find anything else?" She asks, I hadn't told her what else he left for me.

"Well in gym, he left me a Boca of white roses in my gym locker. With the note, Lucky to have you." I tell her getting in the car. "That's so adorable." She replies and starts driving.

"Yeah, and during sixth period some guy came in, he worked at some flower shop. And he delivered a dozen pink roses to me." I tell her remembering the romantic feeling to it, mixed with the embarrassment. "The card said I love you."

"That's.. awwww!" Chris gushes and the smile I've had on all day just keeps growing and growing. "Here you are!" She says and I say goodbye while getting out. I head up to our apartment and unlock to door, walking in and turning around to close it. I turn back around and it doesn't look like anyone's here. Which makes me wonder, where Tobias could be.

But then walking into the bedroom, I find him. The room has my favorite candles lit and spread around the room, and the floor and bed are covered in rose petals. The exact colors that he left for me today. "Tobias!" I gasp looking at all of it. "Hey." He says walking towards me with one single red rose in his hand.

"This is beautiful." I tell him and he goes in for a kiss but bends onto his knee instead. My hand moves to cover my open mouth. "Tris, will you go to prom with me?" He asks and a single tear runs down my cheek. "Yes." I say, my voice creaking. "Yes." I repeat and he stands up and hugs me.

"I love you." He says and all I do is kiss him hard on the lips. That night we made love, on a bed covered in roses.
