Author's Note: Here's the second chapter. I probably won't be able to update for two weeks because I'm going on vacation. Thanks so much for reviewing, Angel1D98! Enjoy!
Chapter Two
Four's POV
Tris looks at me as I mention I want to be quarterback. In her eyes I see curiosity and a bit of sadness, but no anger at me, which surprises me. I smile at her. She gives me a tiny smile back, and then turns to Christina.
I think I stare at her the rest of lunch period. I don't know. It's kind of hard to keep track of time when you are staring at an impossibly beautiful girl. They other guys must notice, because Will stares pointedly at me and then Tris, and then looks back at Uriah and Zeke. Zeke nods to Uriah, as if to say, I'll scare him into treating her well.
"Hey, man, you need a ride?" Zeke calls to me from his car.
"Nah, I got my car." I yell back.
"Come over here!"
I walk over to his car, wondering why he needs me.
"Look, Four, I saw you staring my little sis the whole lunch period. You like her?"
"Well...I…"
"Four, I already know the answer. Just say it."
"Okay, uh, yes. I do. I like Tris." Zeke practically growls.
"Look, man, she hates me. I know you don't want me to go after your little sister, given that I'm two years older than her. I get it. She's just so...perfect in everyway...and her laugh..oh, God, her beautiful laugh…" I trail off realizing I saild that out loud. My cheeks redden.
Zeke looks at me. "I'm not saying not to go after her. I think she may like you. But if you hurt her in anyway, I swear, I will kill you."
I nod, completely expecting the threat. But the part I wasn't expecting, the 'I think she may like you' part, left me speechless. I nod dumbly. I turn to walk away when Zeke calls to me.
"Annual 'Start of the School Year Turth or Dare' party at my house!" he calls. "Be there at seven! I'll text you the address!"
"Okay, cool, man, see you at seven, then!" I yell back. I hop into my silver car and drive to my house, thinking about Tris the whole way.
I step out of the shower at 6:30, my mind still on Tris. I know she'll be at the party because, after all, it's at her house. I quickly change into dark jeans and a clean t-shirt. I hop into my car and drive to Zeke's house using the address he texted me.
I knock on the door and am welcomed by Uriah.
"Hey, man, good to see you've come. Come in, we're just about to start." he says, stepping aside to allow me to enter.
I follow Uriah into the living room, where Zeke, Shauna, Lynn, Marlene, Will, and Christina are seated in a circle. I'm disappointed Tris isn't there. Where could she be? I wonder.
"Hey, man, take a seat," Zeke says when he sees me. "Uri, go get Tris. I bet she's studying in her room." he says to his little brother. Uriah nods and turns towards the staircase.
"Tris! If you don't get down here this instant, I'll drag you down!"
he yells. I hear a muffled, "Coming," as I sit on the empty couch and Uriah joins us again.
"What to you want, Uri?" Tris asks, appearing in the doorway.
"You to come play with us, duh," he responds, rolling his eyes. She shrugs, and steps into the room.
My heart flutters at the sight of her. She's wearing the same clothes as earlier, and she looks more beautiful than ever. She glances around the room, scowling when she sees that the only empty seat is by me.
"Okay, let's get this party started!" Zeke shouts after everyone is seated. "Just a reminder, you can always take off a piece of clothing if you don't want to answer the truth or do the dare. And it can't be shoes or socks. It's my house, so I get to go first," he continues, but is cut off by Tris and Uriah.
"I live here, too!" Uriah complains.
"So do I." Tris smirks. "Ladies first."
"Fine," Zeke concedes. I know he has a soft spot for Tris.
"All right." Tris looks around the room, selecting her victim. Her eyes settle on Christina. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Who do you like?" Tris asks, waggling her eyebrows. God, she is cute!
Christina reddens. "Will," she mutters.
"What was that?" Tris teases.
"Will." Christinas says louder. Attempting to get the attention off her she says, "Shauna. Truth of dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to lick whipped cream off Uri's stomach." Shauna wrinkles her nose and pulls off her sweatshirt.
"Okay," Shauna continues the game. "Tris. You know the question."
"Dare," she says levelly. Shauna smirks.
"I dare you to straddle Four the rest of the game," she says coolly. Tris turns bright red and walks over to me.
"Woah, woah, I wasn't done. He has to put his arms around your waist, and you have to kiss." Tris turns a deeper shade of red. She slowly climbs onto my lap. I feel my pants bulge. She must notice, too, because she turns scarlet. I wrap my arms around her waist and draw her close. She looks up at my with those wide, innocent eyes. I smile and lean down. I press my lips to her's, gently at first. Her arms lop around my neck, drawing me closer and deepening the kiss. I smile against her lips and kiss her hungrily.
After a moment she pulls back, looking uncertain. I try my best not to look disappointed.
"Four. Truth or dare?"
I can't risk choosing truth. She might ask me who I like. I can't afford that.
"Dare."
"I dare you to tell me the truth." What!? Not fair! "Who do you like?" How does she not know? I don't hesitate. I pull my shirt off in one swift motion.
Tris's POV
The second Shauna tells me to straddle and kiss Four, I know she knows I like him. I know I turn bright red when I sit on him, and an even brighter red when I feel his pants bulge.
I have to admit, it surprises me when Four doesn't tell us who he likes. It's probably one of the cheerleaders. I bet it's Molly. I think he was staring at her today.
The game continues, and I find myself dozing off on Four's shoulder.
"Tris. Tris!" someone calls.
"Huh? What?" I must have fallen asleep.
"Truth or dare?" Marlene asks impatiently.
"Uh, dare." Marlene grins evilly. Oh no.
"I dare you to play seven minutes in Heaven with Four." I feel my cheeks heat up. I look around. Zeke and Uriah look angry, though as overprotective brothers, I'm not surprised.
I stand and walk to the spare bedroom with Four on my heels. He closes the door behind him and I quickly say, "We don't have to kiss. I know you don't want to." He looks taken back.
"No. I want to." he says, surprising me. Why would he want to? Oh. I think Of course he wants to. He doesn't want to be seen as a chicken.
He walks towards me and connects his lips to mine. I throw my arms around his neck and kiss him back fierecly. He grabs my butt and lifts me into the air. I wrap my legs tightly around his waist as he pushes me againts the wall.
"We're coming in in ten seconds!" Zeke shouts through the door. They begin the countdown, "Ten...nine...eight…"
I'm not sure that Four heard them. He's still kissing me.
"Seven...six…"
He begins to pull away slightly, though his lips are still on mine.
"Five, four, three, two one!" they shout in one breath. The door flies open and they catch us still making out, Four's hands on my butt, and my legs around his waist. We pull apart quickly, both turning red.
"Four!" Zeke snaps. I look up at him surprised. "What were you doing with your hands on her butt? She's only sixteen! Take it slow!" he yells. Four just stnds there and takes it.
"Zeke," I say sharply. "Stop. It was just a dare. It's not like he would have done anything like that if it wasn't."
