Never too Late (Fourtris AU)

Chapter 6

Its been a few days since I told Tobias. I'm so glad I don't have to carry that burden anymore.

When I told my parents and Caleb about Tobias they were ecstatic.

They even offered Tobias a place to stay here, since he was always alone.

My parents talked to Marcus and he agreed.

The best part? My parents knew I was afraid of doing 'it' again so they let Tobias sleep with me at night.

I haven't slept so peacefully in years.

Plus I think my parents were happy that I smile and talk more.

So here, Tobias and I lay on the couch watching tv. My back resting against his chest.

I flip over so I'm facing him. I stare at him until he looks down, a smile playing at his lips.

"Well hello." He murmurs quietly.

"Hello." I mumble, snuggling against his chest closing my eyes.

"If your doing something I don't want to see stop in 5..4..3..2..1." My mom says walking into the house. My eyes remain closed.

"Evening Natalie." I hear Tobias greet quietly. His chest vibrating slightly.

"Evening Tobias. So she crashed on you eh?" My mom questions.

"Guess so."

I can't help but giggle. The vibration tickles my sensitive stomach.

"Did the Beatrice Prior just giggle?" My mom asks faking shock.

"I don't know. I guess we will have to fdind out." Tobias says tickling me.

I squeal and hobble away, falling off the couch in the process.

I yawn and stretch.

Tobias comes and picks me up gently.

"We are going upstairs." Tobias tells mom.

She nods, admiration dancing in her eyes.

We walk upstairs to my room, crawling into bed.

"Tris?"

"Hmm?"

"I think I'm in love with you."

"You think? Maybe you should make a list or chart or something." He laughs .

"Maybe I already know and don't want to frighten you."

"you should know better."

"Fine. I love you."

"I love you too."

He kisses me lightly, knowing how sensitive I am about kissing.

I realize now that I am not alone. I never was alone, but now I have a best friend to love.

Actually Tobias is a package deal.

He's got the looks, the fatherlyness, the kindness, the bravery, the selflessness, the smartness, the honesty and he's my best friend and my boyfriend.

He is mine and I am his.
