When I come back from lunch I walk to my office. The task that I got assigned to is to arrange all the supplies imported from other factions so people can do their jobs. I get emails from people, I send emails to people and I make a few calls when things can't be delivered or when something is wrong. It's just an office job and when you get the hang of it it can be pretty fun although some things are boring the life out of me.

I make a list of things that I need to do and get to work. After writing a few emails I hear a knock on the door. A very cheery Kelsey walks into my office with a cup of coffee in her hand, exactly what I needed! I take it from her with a very grateful 'thanks', take a sip and watch her walk out the door with a big smile.
I went on with the email I was writing. When I look at my list I see that I need to make a few calls to other factions.
There seems to be a problem with the cleaning supplies I tried to order from erudite.
Oh, and the amity have accidentally watered their apples with peace serum which gives the apples the same effect as amity bread. I guess that I won't be eating apples for a while. I give the amity a call and make a deal with the lady that they won't be giving Dauntless apples until this problem is resolved.

I dial the number to Eriudite and hear a strangely familiar voice say. "Eriudite complaints desk, how can I help you?" "You're speaking with dauntless ambassador Tris Prior, I'm calling about the cleaning supplies I've tried to order" "Prior? Beatrice?" The voice says confused, well so am I right now "Yes...", who knows my abnegation name in erudite? It feels like there is a lightbulb above my head that flickered on, "Caleb!" I exclaim, who else could it be? Who in Eriudite would know? "It's been way too long since I've heard your voice! How are you?" I hear him say on the other side of the line. "I'm good, I have a boyfriend and I have a good job, so yeah, I'm good. How are you?" "Wait a minute did you say you have a boyfriend?! Beatrice, you're way too young to even consider having a boyfriend!" "Caleb, calm down. Yes, I have a boyfriend and no I am not too young. In Dauntless it's normal for people to get married at 19! And at that age, I don't think that we will be anywhere near that point." I hear him taking a few deep breaths. "I heard that people in other factions can see each other at Christmas do we get to meet him then?" Wait a minute did he say we? "We?", "Well yes obviously Mom and Dad would want to meet him too." Oh shoot, I haven't thought about them, well I mean of course I have thought about them, I think about them every day, but I never really thought about them meeting Tobias. "I really should discuss that with him first" I finally say after a little while. "Okay but if he does something to you give me a call, then I will come and ge-" I cut him off by laughing "Do you really think you could fight a Dauntless? And if you think that you can do you think you could fight a dauntless prodigy?" There is a silence and just when I think he just left he says "Beatrice? What do you mean by dauntless prodigy? You mean that he like came in first and is super good at fighting and all that stuff?" My answer is almost instant "Well yeah, he came first in his initiate class but so did I, and yes he is good at fighting, he kinda taught me as an initiate bu-" "Beatrice! You not dating your instructor, are you!? Because that would be totally inappropriate! And he would be way too old for you!" Is he too old for me? I don't think so and he doesn't either so we're good I think. "Yes I am dating my FORMER instructor and no he isn't too old for me he is just 2 years older." I hear him scoff. "Two years? Beatrice, do you hear yourself? Well, I guess I will meet the guy at Christmas or something if he hasn't already dumped you by then... Alright, you called about the cleaning supplies?" I sigh "Yes I did I got an email that there was something wrong and that I needed to call the complaints desk, so I was hoping you could tell me what is wrong?" I ask "Honestly I don't know. I'll ask and write down to call you back okay?" I rub my forehead out of frustration "Yeah okay that will have to do. Wait a minute did you say write down?" "Well yeah there were not a lot of people who scored low in initiation, there were a lot of ties this year so obviously no one chose the complaints desk. Now we need to take shifts on the complaints desk till next initiation." There can be ties?? "Oh okay take care and I will hear from the complaintsdesk sometime soon. Bye Caleb" "Bye Beatrice take care of yourself" and with that the line is cut and it is yet again completely silent in my office.

The silence is almost deafening, after a while though the silence becomes comfortable I'm rubbing the sleep out of my eyes when I hear a loud thud on my door and cheering. I don't think a lot of it but after seven times I'm getting kind of curious, yes I counted don't judge. When I open my door a ball comes flying to my face and I duck just in time I smile triumphantly just to let that smile fade when I hear a crash like glass breaking. Uriah, Ian, Fabian, Maximus, and Wolf are standing in front of me and are looking guilty at me with their pleading eyes in an expression that tries to say sorry. I laugh because of how funny it looks, they are looking at me like I'm crazy but they also look a bit relaxed. "Does that count as a goal?" Uriah asks quietly and Ian shoves his shoulder playfully. "Alrighty everyone back to work!" Ian says. All the ambassadors that were playing also go back to their offices. "I thought we were working on our officeball technique here?" Ian says, a cheer more sounding like a roar fills the hallway. 

I shake my head and walk back into my office to see a vase that stood in the corner, lying in shards on the floor. I sigh and search my office for a broom or something. When I find nothing I walk out of my office and walk into a broom closet but of course there is no broom or dustpan there.

I walk out of the broom closet and look for another one. That goes on till I come at the broom closet next to the control room. When I open the door I close it and turn on the lightbulb. I look around the closet and see someone standing in the shadows. I let out a high-pitched scream, but when the person comes out of the dark corner I see it's Tobias. "Again, you can't scare me like that!" I say teasing. He has a dustpan in his hands. "How did you know I was looking for that?". "I look at the cameras you know. It's kinda my job... and I saw that the vase broke and you couldn't find a dustpan and I knew here was the closest one so I waited for you." I stand there in aw about how creepy but só sweet that is. "Well thank you." I try to het ahold of the dustpan but he holds it above his head. "A dustpan for a kiss" he states like a toddler. I hum and get closer to him. When there is almost no space between us I look up, stand on my tippy toes, and press my lips to his. I smile into the kiss knowing that he is mine and I'm his, and that will never change. We break apart and while handing me the dustpan he says "Your dustpan your highness". I chuckle "Thank you, your Majesty". I give him another peck on the lips and walk out the door. To clean my office.

Hey everyone! I see my story has got a read and even a vote! So thank you very much for voting and reading, I didn't expect that someone would actually read my story so I'm very excited. I hope to post once in the two weeks or so because I don't have much time, but I really enjoy writing this. I love you all and am very grateful that you're here. Stay posted for more chapters!
