Chapter 6

Tris' POV

I'm currently sitting across my dinning room table staring Luke straight in the eye. "Have you had any... Weird, dreams lately?" He asked cautiously. I slowly nodded, "Why? Why do you ask? Is there something going on? Something being hidden?" I asked trying to hide my excitement.

Around 10 minutes ago Luke just randomly appeared at my door, asking to speak with me. Kenzie, not wanting to interrupt went to the grocery store to buy whatever she needs, giving us some 'privacy'. I think she secretly wants us to 'do something' if you get what I mean. No matter, that's I not what we- or at least I intend to do with this time.

Luke squints at me as if trying to see if I know something I shouldn't. He leans forward resting his elbows on the table and gently grabs my hands, securely holding them, as if he thinks I'm going to run away in a matter of seconds. "No. No. The hidden things in the world with eventually be revealed. We will see what has been concealed. And there are many things going on in my life." He speaks carefully. His words sound rehearsed, but natural and flowing at the same time.

"Any things I should... Know?" I copy Luke's position, holding his hand the way he is mine. "Anything I need to be informed of? A secret maybe? Just a suggestion." I study his features. I see stubble. It makes him look really hot. Had it always been there? "Are we thinking of the same thing?" He suddenly looks strained. "Perhaps. Maybe. It's likely" I laugh. "Sounds like some lame-ass, four-word riddle."

A small smile creeps onto his face as he stares at our interlocked hands. "Have you ever loved someone? When you first saw them, your world stopped for a moment? And it only took that second for you to fall in love? But each time you see them, it's like you fall in love with them again and again. It makes you want to get to know them, make them happy. It's all you'd ever want... For them to be happy. With you preferably, and love you as you love them..." He seemed to drift off into a daze as he spoke, the end of his little speech thing seemed more like statements then added questions. I wonder if he ever felt like that.

"Have you ever felt like that?" I asked genuinely curious. "But to answer your question no, I haven't. I suppose I'm still waiting for that special someone." His smile only seemed to grow. "No. I haven't felt like that. I feel like that." He answers smiling, and once again makes eye contact with me. I pursed my lips and looked at our hands suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

The few seconds of thought that I had made me consider that those feelings he feels might be for me. I smiled and looked up at him noticing he no longer wore a smile, but a glum look. As soon as he saw me look at him, it nearly looked as if he mimicked my actions. "Sorry to ruin this moment, but back to the whole 'secret thing" I said. He just leaned back in his chair and laughed.

"Do you have any suspicions?" I playfully glared at him and crossed by arms. His body seemed to slump in the chair at the loss of our hand's contact. "Perhaps. Should it? Is there anything to be suspicious about?" He looked at the table, considering what to tell me. "I would think not. Let's see... How about you tell me a secret of yours and I'll tell you one of mine." He looked back up at me, seeing me nod in response.

"Ask me a question or something. Something you think would be a secret. If it's about like, first kiss and that virginity shit you get to ask 2 questions. In return, you must tell me some 'life changing' or your most hidden, deep secret. Deal?" I raised my left eyebrow to show a questioning look. He stared at me for a minute or so before replying, "Deal."

It was set.
