Second Chance

Chapter 18

I couldn't help but smile. I could never love hearing that name when it comes from her mouth. I looked at her. Standing here with her. Having Tris know everything now. It just felt perfect. It just felt right.

"We should be heading back. Before everyone starts wondering where we went off to." She said to me.

I didn't want to head back. But I know we had to. Reality had to come back and find us. We then headed back to them. When we got back, everyone was looking at us. I just walked past them like it was nothing.

*Tris' POV*

I went to take a quick shower before the girls came and attacked me with questions. When I got done and changed, I saw Four standing there. I have let my friends use my bathroom to shower or clean up. I gave him a small smile.

"It's all yours." I said.

"Thanks." He said.

He went in and shut the door behind him. I headed downstairs where everyone else was. I saw Chris, Lauran, and Myra waiting there for me. They were waiting to question me about what happened with me and Four.

"So, that was a long run?" Chris said to me.

"Yeah. It was. Just lost track of time." I told her.

"Sure." Lauran said sarcastically. I know she probably didn't believe me. But I didn't care if they did or didn't. I will talk to them about it later. When it's just us girls.

So, a lot has happened since that day. Four and I have been by each other, except when the girls steal me away. Those are Chris's words, not mine. But I do love being beside him. Christmas is getting close. Indeed, it is about two days away.

I am so ready for it. I have been shopping for a while now. I don't like doing last-minute shopping. I think that is horrible. So, I never do it. I always make sure I have everything done and ready. I am currently relaxing in the living room on the window seal.

"Hey, are you busy right now?" I hear behind me. I turned to see Four standing there.

"No. Why?" I asked him.

"Good. I have something planned for us. The girls are waiting for you in your room to help you get ready." He told me.

I looked at him. He has something planned for us. What does he have planned for us? It makes sense now why I haven't seen him all day. I gave him a look but headed up to my room. I opened my door to see Lauran, Chris, and Myra there. They helped me get ready for this mystery date. I was nervous and excited. I kept asking the girls questions, but no one would answer.

"Tris, can you just be excited for a surprise for once in your life." Lauren said, smiling.

"I can try, but I do not do well with surprises. But I trust Four and know that he won't hurt me." I stated.

"So, have you found his present yet? You said you were having difficulty figuring out what to get him." Chris asked.

I shook my head. I said I was always ahead of the game, but when it came to Four, I did not know what to get him. But now that I know him for who he is, I think I have a few ideas on what to get him.

"Kind of, but I want it to be special and personal for him. Do you think I am just making a big deal out of nothing?" I asked the girls.

"Of course not. I know you mean a lot to Four, and he is doing something special for you, but I am not allowed to say anything. But he would love anything from you that you put your heart and soul into it. I am sure he will love it." Lauren stated.

I nodded and knew that Lauren meant it. I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror. I like how the girls did my hair and makeup. They put it in light waves and then put that in a half ponytail. It looked nice. My makeup was light, and you could barely tell it was on. I smiled at them and thanked them. They, indeed, were great friends.
