Chapter 8~ Dinner with a side of truth

Tris POV

"Bea! Get dressed for dinner tonight! They'll be here in 15 minutes!" My mom says from the living room. "Mom I'm getting ready right now!" I say back and go to my closest. I finally pick out a navy blue dress with a bow on the side, brown heels and some gold accessories. I keep my hair down but with beach waves. I add some navy eyeliner and eyeshadow, mascara and some nude lipstick.

I come downstairs and see caleb and my dad dressed up. Caleb look so funny in dressy clothes. My mother wears a lilac dress and white flats. I hear the door bell and my dad had me go answer it. I open it up to reveal Marcus and four.

"Hello beatrice!" Marcus says and shakes my hand. "Hi. Um.. Come in." I say letting them in. Four and I meet eyes and he looks nervous for some reason. Marcus and my parents greet each other and we all go to the kitchen to eat. I sit in the middle of four and caleb, across from my mother.

"So beatrice, you must know to-four, from school. Do you have any classes with him?" Marcus asks me. He stumbles to say his name which I find odd by I answer the question. "Yes actually, his lockers next to mine and we have 4 classes together." Marcus nods and I glance at four and he smirking. We all talk some more, well everyone but four. My parents excuse us since they want to talk about adult things, so four and I go to my room.

"I didn't know that you were Marcus's son." Four closes the door behind us. "Yes. And id like it to stay between you and me." He says. "Our little secret." I say and he smiles. He comes and sits next to me. "Four.. I-" before I can finish he cuts in. "Don't call me four." He says. His brilliant bye eyes looking into mine. "What should I call you?" "Call me by my real name. Tobias" he says and I smile. "What?" He asks. I shake my head, "I just like that name." He puts his arm around my waist. His touch send shocks of electricity through me. "So tobias, I wanted to say that I really like you. And that I'm excited for tomorrow." I say. "Me too. Your an amazing person tris." I blush and he kisses my cheek. "Four!" I hear Marcus shout from downstairs. "I better go. See you tomorrow for our date." He says and I nod. "Night tobias." I whisper. "Night beatrice." He says smirking.

That night I lie awake with tobias in my head. I've never had a feeling like this before, I like him. I really really like him. I love him.
