Ch. 10: Kissing Uriah

Tris POV:

"Come on, Tris." Christina says. "You love shopping."
"Remember in High School when I didn't want to attract boys?" I ask her.
"You wore 'Boy Repellant.' I remember."
"Well, I should start a line. Because I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life."
"Aww honey. No you won't. Let's go out. I can do your make--"
"No make up."
"Eyeshadow."
"Nope."
"Blush."
"No-uh."
"Eyeliner."
"No."
We look at each other, standing awkwardly.
"Just a tiny bit of lip gloss. Please, please, please!" Christina pleads.
"Ugh fine." I say.
"Yay! But you are soooo changing."
"Alright, alright."
I change into a blue crop top and black jeans, and (A/N: Wait for it....) blue converses. I only apply lip gloss and leave my hair down.
"Now let's go."
We walk to mall.
"Soooooo. We have a party to go to." Christina says.
"Christina!"
"Sorry."
"I'd rather change baby diapers."
"No you wouldn't."
"You're right I wouldn't."
She pulls me into a store and we look for dresses.
A gray cocktail mini dress catches my eye. I take it off the rack and try it on.
I look at myself in the mirror.
"Tris, you look beautiful." A voice says behind me.
I turn around and see Uriah. I blush and smile.
"Thanks." I say.
"Uriah!" Zeke yells.
"Uh...That's my brother. Uh..I'll see you later."
"Bye."
"Bye."
While he's walking he trips a little and I giggle.
"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." He says whispering and I smile.
I take off the dress and put my regular clothes back on. Christina and I walk to the clerk and buy the dresses.
We go to the shoe store and I get black strappy heels.
-------
Christina and I are headed to the party.
We go inside and the room is filled.
I dance around a little but I'm not really feeling it.
I walk outside to the balcony and Uriah is already out there.
"Hey." I say softly.
"Hey." He replies.
"Not feeling the party. I thought you loved parties, Uri."
"I do. I just wasn't, like you said, feeling this one."
"Me either. Did you hear about me and Tobias?"
"No."
"Uri. I know you heard. He told you. Right?"
"Yea."
"I thought he loved me."
Tears start to fall from my eyes.
"Tris. Please don't cry. Please." Uriah pleads.
"I'm sorry. I'm a wreck."
"No you are not. You are beautiful. Really beautiful. Gorgeous."
I look down while I blush, letting my hair cover my cheeks.
He uses my thumb to tilt his chin up.
I look into his brown eyes. He looks like he is debating something. Then he kisses me.
He pulls back.
"Sorry." He says.
"Uriah. Don't say sorry."
"But you--"
I cut him off by balling his shirt in my fist and pulling him towards me. We kiss.
I like the kiss.
