{9} What is love?

As the credits appear on the screen, I sigh in content. Tobias' arm is slug lazily on my shoulder as my head is buried the side of my face into his shirt, the position that we've stayed in for the last hour of the movie when Tobias put his arm around me and I automatically started to snuggle against him.

We sit in silence while watching the credits slide up the screen, the Harry Potter theme filling our ears but neither of us wanting to move.

"Tris," Tobias say, interrupting the silence. I hum against his chest to signal him to continue. "Do you want to go somewhere with me, this Friday?"

Feeling happy he can't see the harsh blush on my face, I shakily answer. "Like...a date?" My heart pounds at the possibility and I gulp nervously.

He pauses, placing his chin onto of my head. "Well, yeah."

I smile shyly, moving my body so I can look up at him, just double checking it's not some joke. His has his mask on yet again, shielding his emotions with a blank expression, I guess he doesn't want to let on what's going on in that head of his. "Um, okay."

As soon as the words slip softly past my lips, his mask slips away and he grins, making me automatically grin back. Then, he gently manoeuvres me so he can stand and does so, leaving me feeling rather empty without his warm presence as he walks over to turn off the TV.

"The sofa turns into a bed," Tobias explain, holding his hand it for me to grab and stand up which I gladly take. He then pulls out the sofa bed and opens his arms out in a jokey way. "Voila!"

I laugh lightly before falling back on the bed and lifting my right hand up to cover a rather large yawn that I can't supress. Although I'd love to stay up wth Tobias all night, my body betrays me, obviously needing my beloved sleep.

Tobias raises an eyebrow, an action that makes my tummy weak. "Tired?"

I nod, smiling softly up at he beautiful man in front of me as I stay in my lying down position.

"You better be off to bed then." He sit next to me, his hand leaning over me to grab a strand of hair that's fallen down my face and slowly places it behind my ear lovingly. "You know where the bathroom is, my bedrooms on the third floor, so just shout if you need anything."

"I will. " I say, sitting up and becoming face to face with him. Exhaustion was beginning to take it's toll on my body as my eyes droop heavily.

Tobias leans forward and I'm surprised to feel his soft lips graze my forehead with a kiss. "Goodnight, Tris." He whispers and then he disappears before my eyes.

My left hand lifts up, my fingers lightly touching the smooth skin of my forehead as a small smile grazes my lips. I am really falling for this man. And there's no going back from this.

Not that I'd want to anyway.

"Come on, Tris!" Tobias' yells from outside the lighthouse as I pull on my other boot. I roll my eyes at his inpatient nature and stand up walking outside. It's Friday now- the day of our date.

To say I was excited would be an enormous understatement.

Living with Tobias has been better than I could've ever imagined. We contacted Miss Claudia to let her know the day after I left and she wasn't really bothered, more pleased that I have finally found a friend. To be honest, I was too, this summer has been full of surprises.

"Took you long enough." Tobias huffs when I make my way to his truck, hauling myself inside as I roll my eyes yet again.

"Are you going to tell me where we are going then?" I ask, ingoring his attitude and looking at the beautiful scenery that surrounded me as we drove out the harbour.
