You And Me Against The World | ✅

Chapter 51

In the morning, I wake up first and look over at Tobias's side. He is still fast asleep and I decide to go take a quick shower before heading downstairs to make us breakfast. However, the moment I turn on the shower two strong arms wrap themselves around me and I lean back enjoying the feel of Tobias's naked body pressed against mine.

"Good morning, love," he says into my ear and I shudder.

"Good morning, honey. Did you sleep well?"

"Wonderful. I was a little disappointed when I woke up and my beautiful fiancée wasn't there," he says and I chuckle.

"I thought of taking a shower before starting the day," I say and turn around in his arms. "Hey," I say smiling.

"Hey," he says back, before he leans in and kisses me. "Mind if I join you?"

"Did I ever?"

We shower together (a.k.a. fool around) and about 40 minutes later we step out and head downstairs just in our bathrobes. Thankfully the apartment is well heated otherwise we might get a cold. Although I'm sure Tobias would say that I would get a cold. Not him. No, sir. We decide to eat some cereals, since neither one of us is in the mood to make a fancy breakfast.

When we're done, Tobias cleans up and we start opening our Christmas presents. Tobias got me a cute new dress and some black diamond earrings. I kiss him gently and thank him. He opens his boxes with the two new outfits and the boots. Although we both like the presents, the ones we gave each other those from last night are more special, more personal. Christina got me a silver friends-forever-bracelet and Will gave me a book on computers. I remember that I once complained about them. I chuckle at the memory. They both got Tobias a brand-new shaving set, although sometimes a five o'clock shadow isn't the worst thing in the world. It's kind of sexy. But I do like him shaved. Shauna and Zeke got for us a book on love making called the Kama Sutra. We both blush, but decide to give it a try. Marlene and Uriah got us a set of twelve frames and a note that said: You guys need to put up pictures. Tell your story. I almost started crying when I read that. Tobias and I decided to start it with our wedding picture and then one by one fill each frame until we have twelve pictures. Caleb and Cara got us each a book on faction law and leadership. Boring. But they are Erudite. They don't know any better. However, the most amazing gift came from Tori and Dwayne, although I guess Tori did most of it. It's a framed drawing of our tattoos. Right in the middle of the paper is the faction tattoo that Tobias has on his back and in the right upper corner are my four ravens, with Tobias's attached to the Dauntless symbol. We decide to hang it in the bedroom since it's very personal and I honestly have no intention in either explaining the meaning of it nor sharing it with anyone other than Tobias.

Tobias immediately does that, hanging the drawing over our bed and since he had the hammer I made him set up the twelve picture frames behind the entertainment center. This way even when the TV is off we can look at something other than the wall. The biggest frame goes in the middle and is surrounded by eleven smaller ones. I can practically see our entire life there: our wedding day, our first child, our second, maybe even a third, kindergarten, school, Choosing Day – hopefully Dauntless and then their weddings and their children. It all sounds so wonderful that I can't help it and start crying. When Tobias sees me, he rushes over to me to comfort me, confused probably as to why I start crying for no apparent reason. When I tell him the reason he smiles and pulls me closer to him, telling me that that would be wonderful.

We have nothing planned for today so we decide to just stay in and watch movies. By lunch we are not really hungry, having eaten so much popcorn. We decide to prepare something for later. Tobias wanted some Carbonara pasta and I make it for him. When I'm done cooking we sit down and eat. Sometimes even smelling a good home cooked meal makes you hungry. Since I cooked Tobias cleans up and I head upstairs to brush my teeth. The rest of our afternoon is pretty much filled with movies and making out.
