Tris's P.O.V
"So Tris, maybe we should go out for dinner next week to discuss how we can defend . Or maybe drinks to clear your mind?" Al says.
I struggle to not roll my eyes at Al's third attempt this week to make me go out with him. I must be crazy to ever put myself in that situation.
"Al I've told you before, I'm busy this week... with some stuff. I totally have this case covered so you and Max don't need to worry," I say gritting my teeth.
"What kind of stuff?" God is testing me right now.
"Not that it concerns you but my brother is going to be in town that week."
"Oh.. well the-"
"Hey Al, its almost five so I think I'm going to head out early and get a good night's rest," I say standing up from behind my desk to grab my purse, "I'll see you tomorrow".
I head to the door and I hear him sigh in defeat following me out my office. I wonder if Uriah still has any brownies left.
My stream of thoughts are interrupted when my phone rings and the caller id informs me that it's Tobias.
"Hello?"
"My lucky charm, happy hour at The Tavern start in twenty. Meet me there?"
"Did you have a rough day?"
I hear him groan and I laugh.
"Was it Nita? No wait let me guess... Lauren? Did she ask you to meet her parents? Is she insisting for you to get matching tattoos?"
"It's nice to see that you find some amusement in my failed relationships."
"I don't know how you do it, every girl that you fuck turns out to be psycho bitch."
"God Tris isn't your candor shining bright today. Now I'm wondering if I should revoke my offer for drinks and ask Zeke instead. He probably won't be as bad as you; he'll just laugh at Lauren's crazy antics and buy me free drinks."
"Yeah. You go right ahead and do that but we both know that's not true. Anyways I'm walking down Yonge Street right now. I'll pop in at the Dauntless bakery and pick us up some cake. Sound good?"
"Of course. See you soon." he says then hangs up the phone.
I sit at the booth waiting patiently for Tobias to arrive. My hair is now let down and my blazer is strewn across the seat exposing my tight fitted blouse. I get stares from the men sitting at the stools with rum or scotch in their glasses. They seem to like my legs in this pencil skirt. I knew that gym membership would benefit me one of these days. Ohh the one with the blondish hair looks really sexy. God it's been so long since I've gotten laid.
"Lucky Charm, you order anything yet?" Tobias asks startling me.
"No I just got here but seriously Tobias, why do you always sneak up on me like that!" I say hugging his muscular figure.
"Not my fault you're not attentive to your surroundings, don't blame me," He says laughing, "So I think I need to get drunk tonight. Lauren is a fucking pain."
"It's fine by me as long as you're paying. So talk."
"I can't do this relationship thing Tris. They're so stupid. We've only been dating for three months and she clings to me like I'm her husband. That, by the way, will never happen because marriages are a waste of time and money. I'm going to break up with her."
I look at my best friend. I mean really look at him. The thought of him having a functioning romantic relationship terrifies him. Though sitting before is a grown man, his eyes makes me see the 16 year old boy whose scarred by his parents marriage. It's the scars of his parents' marriage that makes him swear of commitment of that sort. Tobias grew up watching Evelyn suffer at the hands of Marcus, convinced that marriage is detrimental to the well being of a person.
Tobias is definitely attractive with his dark blue eyes, spare upper lip and muscular figure. It's not hard for him to get the girls, he knows it himself. Christina says he can make a girl orgasm just by staring them in the eyes. Well not me.
"So basically you want to lead a bachelor's life consisting of only one night stands... for the rest of your life? Tobias you're 27 and a software engineer. You just wait, one day the girl will come along and show you that not every marriage is like Marcus and Evelyn's."
"You keep thinking that. Go ahead and be brainwashed by the idea of love. Speaking of which is Al still trying to make the moves on you?" He says trying to lead the conversation away from being so intense.
So I let him,"Yeah he is. I swear it's the third time this week!"
"You realize you're a criminal lawyer right? Why can't you muster up the courage to tell the guy to lay off?" Tobias says smirking while he takes a mouthful of beer.
"You're an asshole Four"
"If I remember correctly you said that's why we're best friends when we we're stoned off of Uriah's batch of brownies."
"Fuck you."
"I love you too."
I'm pretty sure Tobias was set on getting wasted tonight, but I don't know how I ended up drunk as well. His tie is loosened and his hair is disheveled due to him constantly running his hands through it. His shirt is unbuttoned exposing some chest... so is my blouse. He looks really hot right now.
"Tobias... it's almost time for America's next top model. I need to get home!" I slur.
"Hmm... ok. Do you have cheetos at home? I don't have any. Lauren fucking ate all of mine." He mumbles.
I lean over to get my purse and I nearly fall but I feel a strong hand wrap around my waist.
"Careful Tris", Tobias whispers into my ear. He's so close right now it makes me feel something in my lower belly.
He gives me a lazy smile while ushering me out to the dark street. The taxi comes almost immediately and then we're heading to my apartment.
"Tobias the door won't open." He grabs the keys from hands and takes a good minute to unlock it. I stumble my way over the threshold and kick of my heels.
"Why'd you take them off... they're sexy."
"My feet hurt Tobias and my head is spinning," I giggle and then throw myself on the couch, laying my head against the armrest, "you coming?"
He grins and strips down leaving him shirtless with his pants. I see the flames on his sides; my hand reaches out to touch them. The fingertips graze along the black ink...slowly towards his pants.
"Take these off Tobias, I don't like them."
"Are you asking me to undress Tris?"
"Yes."
"And you won't take anything off? What about that skirt?"
I huff, "fine they're coming off."
His eyes follow the black material as they drop to the floor. Now I'm laying down in my black cheekies. Tobias slips of his pants too then lies beside me. He's so close I can see some tiny freckles, and his eyes darken. There's a tingling between my legs.
Suddenly he presses his lips to mine and kisses me. I don't hesitate to kiss back, slipping my tongue in his mouth. His hands grab at my lower cheeks and I moan.
"God Tris you look so good." Tobias says while licking his way down my neck. Slender fingers unbutton my blouse revealing the lace bra that doesn't cover much.
I straddle him and hold his package through his briefs.
"What are you going to do to me Tobias?," I ask rolling my hips, "are you going to fuck me?"
"I'm going to make you sore baby"
My eyes flutter open to see a bruised neck full of hickeys instead of sunlight. What the fuck.
My head is pounding and it takes me a minute to recognize that there is a fucking dick in my vagina and belongs to Tobias.
"Oh my fucking god" I whisper horrified. He's my best friend and I slept with him. I gently slide him out me, determined not to wake him up.
How the fuck did this happen?
I stand there gaping at him before I realize that I need to get the hell out of here. Running my fingers through my hair I text Al and tell him I'm not going to the office till later today. I pull on some clothes and leave the apartment quietly. My feet kind of just lead the way and I don't know where I'm going till I ring the doorbell. The door opens and Christina greets me saying, "What the fuck happened to you Tris?"
I don't know Chris. I really don't fucking know.
A/N: First chapter... should I continue? Some feedback would be nice :)
