Stay With Me

Epilogue

I almost growl. She's so beautiful.

"You sure?" I don't want to do anything she'll regret.

"Yes. Now shut up and kiss me." She grabs my neck forcefully and we kiss, just like that, and I'm lost.

I wake up in an empty bed with a blanket thrown over my bare body.

The last hour's activity seems to hit me real quickly and I can't seem to get rid of a stupid smile that's makes it way on my face.

I'm such a lucky man to have such an amazing woman in my life. She mends my wounds. She's the light that I use to guide me everywhere. She's my sun.

I hear water running form the bathroom and I assume that's she's showering.

5:37

Our reservation is at six fifteen. I make my way out of her room and into the spare bathroom.

I freshen up and walk back into Tris' room wrapped in a towel. I grab my suit and head back to the bathroom to change.

I didn't hear the shower when I went back so I know she must be getting ready.

I slip the dress shirt and bands on. After buttoning it up, I wear the blazer and tie a bow tie around my neck.

"That's such a turn on." I hear.

"What?"

She bites her lip. "I have a bow tie fetish. I go nuts when I see a guy wearing a bow tie."

"Really?"

"Yeah." She flushes pink as the words leave her mouth.

"Then I should wear them more." I tease.

"Good." She straightens the bow and pats my head.

It's when I really take a good look at her. My heat pounds in my chest. She wears a red dress. It hugs her body perfectly. Her hair is curled into sort curls and her lips and painted dark red. Her nails are done so they match the color of her dress.

"You look- you look, wow. Just wow." I stutter.

"Thank you. You look quite dashing yourself. She smiles.

"If we don't leave now we're going to be late." She tells me.

"Then let's get going."

Dinner was magical. We talked forever earning some glares during it because we laughed too hard.

I've never felt so close to her than ever.

We walk back to her apartment laughing a little too hard.

"You're such a terrible person, Tobias!" Her giggles are cute, it brings a smile to my face.

"Go change into so pjs I'm going to put in a movie." I tell her. She gives me a nod and smiles before going back to her room.

I skim through her DVD cabinet scanning for any movie that appeals to me.

The Breakfast Club.

I take the disc out and insert it into the DVD player. I turn on the television and switch the input so we will be able to watch the movie.

While figuring out how to use the remote, I hear footsteps behind me.

"Hey how to do-" I start.

"Give me that. Go make the popcorn." She takes the remote from my hand.

I mumble incoherently and nod my head dragging myself into the kitchen.
