I kissed back, and suddenly I remember one of my fears when I was an initiate: intimacy.
I thought about how much I'd grown since then. And suddenly, I wasn't afraid of it anymore.
I kissed back more, but he pulled away. My heart went ka-thump.
"Not here, Tris." He muttered into my ear. I understood. We went into a room and I saw Christina kissing Will in the room across from us.
Tobias closed the door.
I suddenly remembered that I had no idea what to do. I knew I loved him more than anything, but I didn't know how to do this.
He made it easier by slowly pulling off my top, making sure not to damage my wings in any way.
This time, I kissed him.
There was a calling in my heart, telling me what to do. He kissed me and we fell back on the bed, our lips intact.
It became more intense. I unbuttoned his shirt and he pulled it off. I looked up into his eyes and saw the Tobias I had seen when I kissed him, before I died.
"Are you ready?" He murmured.
I nodded.
He picked me up and pushed me against the wall.
-after this scene-
Tobias walked me home. We were both a little bit drunk, and I even enjoyed it.
I replayed the room in my mind. He had been so gentle, and he kept reminding me to tell him when to stop. I never did tell him to.
We dropped Christina and Will off at their apartment and were at the gate of my parent's house when he spoke up.
"Hey, I was just thinking that it would be easier, maybe, if you moved into my apartment." I could see the flush of his cheeks even at 2 am.
Our foreheads touched. "I'll have to ask my parents." I said quietly.
He nodded. "Are you coming to the club tomorrow?" (He called the bar a club) He asked. "Tomorrow is Saturday."
"Will you pick me up at four thirty?"
He smiled. "Deal."
We kissed goodnight and I ran into the house to ask my mom the question.
She said yes.
