"Hi Tris long time no see," Al says.

Al is the head chef of his cake business. He designs and makes all these wedding cakes so I always bring my clients to him for their cake testing.

"Hi Al! I think I saw you about a month ago," I say accepting his hug.

"Yeah I'm Four and this is Lauren," I head Four say from behind me.

"And I'm Zeke!" Zeke says.

I pull away from all and turn to see Four there with his arms crossed. Lauren was slightly behind him scowling at him.

"Yeah this is the happy couple and Zeke, I'm sure you remember them from high school," I say to Al while he nods. I rearrange my flowy black skirt and smooth my top out that was messed from the hug.

"Well ladies and gentlemen if you will follow me we have cakes here for you to test," Al says walking into the testing room.

"How about this? Or this?" Lauren says pointing to various white coloured cakes,"Sweetheart I'm not going to try anything because then I'll get fat."

"Lauren try some , it tastes great," Four says with a bit of a white cake in his mouth.

"Are you saying I should be fat?" Lauren asks with controlled anger.

"No I'm just saying try some," Four says.

Zeke stands beside me and nudges me every time those two start having an argument. I roll my eyes and went to get a cake I'm sure one of them will love.

"Here try this one," I say offering a piece of brown cake to each of them.

"Ew what is that?" Lauren asks inspecting each bit of the cake I handed to her.

"It's Dauntless cake. Your favourite," I say looking at Four.

He look at me as if he were trying to recall something.

"I can't remember the last time I had Dauntless cake," he says taking a bite into the cake.

"Yeah Tris I don't think he's ever had a slice ever since, oh when was it? It was at some kind of birthday," he says. Zeke tries to hide it but it is clear that he remembers exactly when Four had his last piece of Dauntless cake.

"I think it was-" Four starts.

"My 18th birthday... Wasn't that the time when I-"

"Smashed the cake into my face," Four finishes.

All four of us stand there in silence after that. I can practically feel Zeke's stare on my back and on Four's face.

"Four I don't want to try this..." Lauren whines.

"Fine, then don't," he simply states.

"Okay so Dauntless cake it is then?" I ask and Four nods.

I smile and walk to find Al to input the order when Zeke catches my arm.

"What now?" I ask Zeke.

"Did you not see that entire thing? He completely ignored Lauren and focused on you and you guys pretty much finished each other's sentences," Zeke says in a hushed tone.

"Well that wasn't the most awkward thing that has happened to me. I saw his mum yesterday and she thought that Four and I were engaged. He lied to her," I say to Zeke.

"Now that totally means that he is hooked on you. He is falling in love with you all over again," he says to me.

"Zeke that isn't true," I say and walking off to find Al.
