City of Chicago High (Divergent)

Chapter 31

Tris P.O.V.

Tobias pulls open the door of his car and grabs my wrist. I begin to fall out but he catches me. He gives me a small grin before grabbing my wrist and running away, pulling me behind him into a large park.

"Where are we going?" I ask between giggles.

He turns his head and looks at me with a large smile on his face. "I can't tell you. This is top secret information," he explains.

"But I can see where we're going to it isn't going to be secret for too much longer," I complain.

"You're right. Can I see your scarf?" He asks me, stopping at the edge of the woods on the outside of the park.

"Um, I guess so," I say before unwrapping the scarf around my neck. It's the first week of December and it's freezing. The icy wind hits my neck and I zip my coat up to my chin.

Tobias takes the scarf and wraps it around my face, covering my eyes. Suddenly, someone arms meet my back and the backs of my knees and I'm being lifted off the ground and carried bridal style. My arms immediately wrap around the person carrying me, though, in fear of being dropped.

"Tobias Eaton! Let me down this instant!" I complain.

I hear his deep laugh before he says, "Tris, I'm afraid I can't show you where we're going. And, to be fair, you're kind of the one who suggested that I cover your eyes and guide you so you wouldn't see where we're going."

"That's not fair!" I exclaim.

"But, you made a point that this is a place that is full of secrecy and it should stay that way. So, I'm being a good boyfriend and doing what my girlfriend wants," he exclaims. I smack the back of his head and his yelps out, "Ouch!"

"Now, I will repeat this one more time! PUT. ME. DOWN," I furiously say. He laughs at me and continues to walk.

"Nah. I think I'm good," he says.

"I guess we know who isn't winning the boyfriend of the year award," I mumble under my breath. I leave a scowl on my face until I'm put down and the scarf is no long tied behind my head.

I gasp at the view. We're standing in a small cove. There is wall of rocks with a waterfall flowing down over the side. The water flows into a small stream that trickles below a small bridge and then disappears into the tree's. Large rocks are scattered around the tiny clearing. Set up in the middle of the dirt floor is a picnic.

I turn around and look at a grinning Tobias. "This is amazing," I tell him before I give him a quick kiss. When we pull apart he grabs my hand and leads me to the red and white blanket.

"Well, I'm glad that you like it," Tobias says. I sit down on the blanket, the cold no longer nipping at my neck now that it is covered my the scarf.

"So, what did you bring for us?" I ask.

Tobias grabs the basket and opens it up. "Well, I did have spaghetti but it has kind of gotten cold," he says with disgust masking his face. The look on his face causes me to giggle. He plasters a smile on his face and begins to laugh too.

"Well, it's better than nothing," I say. I grab a fork from the basket and put it right in the container. He laughs and follows my lead.

"We're you trying for a scene like in the lady and the tramp?" I ask. I divert my eyes from the spaghetti and look at his blushing face. In my giggles I manage to blurt out, "You did didn't you?"

"Hey. There is nothing wrong with that. But, I am kind of a hopeless romantic," he says. I kiss his cheek.

"There is nothing wrong with that. But if you start to push meatballs around with your nose don't be surprised when I tell all of our friends about it," I say. We both laugh. We talk about random things for a little while and then we snuggle up together under the black fuzzy blanket that I love from his house.

Suddenly, Tobias leans up and gasps. "OH. MY. GOSH. I totally forgot something," he explains, leaving out any important details.

His actions cause me to jump up, too. "What's wrong?" I ask. I can feel my hear pounding in my chest.

"I almost forgot about our cake," he explains. I give him a dirty look.

"This was all about a piece of cake?" I ask. He gives me a cheesy grin and nods. I sigh but still accept the cake. We sit in silence as we watch the water fall move down the wall of rocks.

"Do you think something is back there?" Tobias asks me. I look at him and he nods at the water fall.

"I don't know," I reply. He stands us and grabs my hand, pulling me up.

"Come on," he says, dragging me to the small streams edge.

"Where are we going?" I ask as he finds a trail of rocks that make their way across the water.

"On an adventure," he says as he looks back at me with a smile. We walk across the rocks and end up on a small ledge right in front of the water fall. Tobias let's go of my hand and runs through the water fall. "Tris, come here!" he exclaims.

"I think I'm good out here!" I yell through the water. Suddenly a hand shoots through the waterfall and grabs my arm and pulls me through.

I look at a soaked Tobias. He has water dripping off his drenched coat and jeans. His dark hair shines with beads of water. I begin to shiver due to the cold water that covers every inch of my body.

"What was that for? We're going to get ammonia!" I yell He laughs and hugs me.

"Well, it will be worth it," he says. I put my arms around his neck and stare into his eyes.

"And why is that?" I ask.

"Because I got to go on an adventure with my favorite girl in the whole entire world," he explains before crashing his lips onto mine.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I thought it would be nice to have a little fluff. I'm still in need of a ideas and Christmas gifts for Tris and Four. There is no bad idea! Just message me if you don't want to share it with the world. I'll try for another update today. :) Also, sorry about the quality. I wrote this on my kindle.
