Tobias's POV:
We have a few more days left of winter break so the gang is still at Tris's house. We don't have any plans for today. Just relaxing and hanging out with each other. Then I get an idea.
"Hey Tris?" I say turning to face Tris who is sitting next to me on the couch.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to go on a date?" I ask. We haven't gone on a date for at least two weeks other than Christmas Eve, but on Christmas Eve we never actually left the house.
"Ummm, OK?" She says like a question. "We could go somewhere tonight or..."
"No I mean now," I cut her off.
"Alright. Where do you want to go?" Tris asks.
"Do you want to go bowling?"
"Sure!" she replies.
Together we stand up and grab the keys, our jackets and some money. Then we walk out the door hand in hand to the car. As we are on our way to the bowling alley Tris texts Zeke and Christina to let them know where we went and to tell the others.
I pull up to the front of the building and we enter. Once we get a lane and our bowling shoes Tris and I start a game. She is pretty good at bowling. At one point about half way through the game she gets a strike and screeches jumping up and down excitedly. I can't help but stare and think about how adorable she is.
"Why are you staring at me?" she asks curiously.
Oops! Busted! I blush and look at my feet.
"You are just so adorable I couldn't help it."
Tris laughs at me and kisses my cheek lightly.
"You're adorable too," she says jokingly.
I end up winning but only by a few points. We return our shoes and go get some ice cream. The one person I really did not want to run into shows up to talk to us.
"Tobias!"
Tris looks at me confused. No one except her and my dad knows my real name and she has never met my father. No. I shouldn't even call him my father. Marcus has never been fatherly to me at all.
"Tris let's go," I say.
"Is that your father?" she asks. Tris knows what Marcus has done, and when she sees him walking over her face turns serious and concerned.
Marcus reaches me and then notices Tris.
"Who is this?" he scoffs with a look of disgust.
"My girlfriend Tris Prior," I reply trying to stay calm. Then I look at Tris."We should get home."
"OK. Our friends are probably wondering where we are," she replies.
"Now if you'll excuse us," I say, standing up and grabbing Tris's hand. I know Marcus has no power in public. He won't be able to hurt me or Tris.
"Tobias you can do better than her," he says.
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"Your girlfriend," he says. "You could get a pretty, smart, brave girl but instead you chose this piece of garbage. Come on Tobias. A son of mine can do better than that."
He just crossed the line.
I get all up on his face and say,"Tris is the best thing that has ever happened to me! She is beautiful, selfless, smart, brave and so much more. I could go on and on listing every amazing thing about Tris but I can't because I would be here forever and we have to leave now."
My face is red with anger when I finish my ranting. Marcus stands there gaping at me clearly shocked. I have never stood up to him like that before.
Tris is clearly ticked off as well.
"Close your mouth. You're catching flies," she says to him agitated.
Then I grab her hand and we storm off in the direction of the car.
Once I get the engine started and the car is locked we start the drive to Tris's house.
"Tris, I am so sorry about Marcus. None of the things he said were true. Well, except for one thing," I say.
She whips her head in my direction with a nervous, angry, surprised look on her face.
"Before you get mad let me finish!" I say. "He was right when he said I chose you. I did choose you. And I love you Tris."
She relaxes in her seat.
"I love you too" she replies.
"I love you three," I answer, a smirk making its way onto my face.
She rolls her eyes when she realizes what I am doing.
"That is so cliché!" Tris says, trying to hide the smile creeping its way onto her face
"Just say it!" I argue.
"Fine!" she gives me an exasperated sigh. "I love you Four."
"Yes!" I shout.
Tris just laughs at me and I forget all about the encounter with Marcus thinking about the perfect date with my perfect girl.
A/N I hope you liked it! Sorry I haven't updated in forever!!!!
