Eric's POV
Standing outside in the back room where all of the serums are being loaded here; I watch and go over the plan in my head. Not the plan where we shoot up the Abnegation; the one where I give my life a new meaning, make it actually true.
"Delilah, nobody is watching us," I mutter, watching her pace back and forth and making sure that there isn't anyone watching from the roofs. She should be watching the workers load in all of the serums.
"There you go. That's the last of the shipments. You're all set to go." One of the workers say and Max gives them a send off.
"So what would you like to do? I was thinking we could go somewhere." I say, grabbing her hands.
"Whatever you want to do," She says.
"You guys going on a date?" Max asks me when she heads inside for something else to do.
"Yeah, I'm gonna take her on a last date as my girlfriend." I say.
"Girlfriend? What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"It means I'm gonna marry her." Max gives me a surprised look. "Wow... Seriously? I didn't think you would last that long with her but congrats."
"Thank you. It means a lot to me. I just want her to be on my side for when the world blows up."
"Is that all you're marrying her for?"
"No, I love her, I just want her by me to know that we care for each other, that's all."
"Well I think you mean to say you love her for who she is whether she is by your side or not. Now, what is your date gonna be?"
"A picnic on the rocks in the pit; boring I know; but I just want it to be special, that's all."
"Well whatever works for you, congrats anyways." He turns and shakes my hand. "Why don't you go in there and work on your picnic?"
"Yes sir." I head inside to not find Delilah anywhere. She mustve gone to her apartment.
Walking around the pit, I find the door to the kitchen and find three cooks working.
"Can I help you, Eric?" one of them asks.
"Yes, can you make some sort of picnic food? I'm going to take Delilah on a date."
"Aww, certianly. Why don't you take a seat over there---" He points to the table. "And help me out. What kind of food do you want for this date?"
"Anything that is sweet and easy to make. Sandwiches, cake, something to drink?"
"Coming right up." I watch earnestly as they get to work, getting fizzy drinks and sandwiches and cake made from this morning. He puts in a basket and hands it to me. "Here you go, sir. Enjoy your picnic with Delilah."
"Yes sir I will."
As I walk out of the kitchens, Delilah is walking into the pit.
"Ah, there you are," I say. "Come with me."
"What have you got?" She asks, spying the basket carefully.
