Tris pov
Tobias walks me to the door, holding my hand.
"Can I see you tomorrow? I mean I know we've been seeing each other a lot, but I like being with you." He states and I smile.
"We kind of have to, Tobias" I say and he just looks at me, puzzled. "We have a project about each other due Monday" I state and he seems to be catching up.
"So where and when?" He asks me.
"Your place? I don't really care what time" I tell him.
"Okay and how about I pick you up in the morning? That way we'll have all day" He tells me. I smile at this, he really wants to spend all day with me.
"Okay" I say still smiling. His hands go on my waist and he pulls me into a soft kiss. It depends soon after, his tongue soon finding mine.
"Bye, Tris" He says letting me go.
"Goodbye, Tobias" I say going inside.
I walk around for a moment looking to see if Caleb is home, he isn't. I get into the shower and take my time.
Once I get into my room I quickly change into leggings and a hoodie. I hear my phone buzz and get up to grab it. It's a message from 'number boy' and I laugh remembering putting Tobias in as that.
I open my phone and read the message
Tobias- I miss you
I grin to myself.
Tris- I miss you more
Tobias- I highly doubt it
Tobias- Maybe we should start working on the project tonight. We can have all night and day
My smile grows and I'm shaking my head to myself.
Tris- I don't want you to start getting bored of me
Tobias- I don't think that's possible
Tobias- Comeeeeee on. You know you want to
I laugh at his over use of "E's".
Tris- I guess I could do you this one favor. But you owe me
Tobias- I'll see you around 5?
Tris- I'll be waiting
Tobias pov
I'm smiling at my phone and Tris' witty responses.
"Hey. Where did Tris go?" Zeke asks.
"I took her home. But don't worry she'll be back tonight. You don't have to miss her for much longer"
"You guys have been together a lot lately" He states, smirking.
"Yes, I know." I say back.
"I'm happy for you. Ever since Jemma, I never would have thought you'd find love again. Oh and by the way Tris is great. Way better than Jemma" He states.
"I don't know if it's love, Zeke. And I know Tris is better than Jemma. I feel like a better person and happy. Maybe I do love her? It's too soon" I say, towards the end I'm mostly talk to myself.
"What time are you getting her?" He asks.
"Around five. I'm going to shower and then clean up a bit downstairs."
"Well damn you must really like her" Zeke states.
Tris pov
Still no ones home. I think Caleb will be home in about an hour, but I won't.
I hear a knock at the door. I run down and open the door. Tobias pulls me into a hug in no time at all. I squeeze him back. He kisses my cheek while still in our embrace.
"Ready to go?" He asks, still holding me.
"Yeah" I say smiling and pulling back. We go to the car and in no time were at his place.
"Tris!" Uriah says and pulls me into a hug.
"Uri, I'm squished" I say giggling and he lets me go.
"We're about to order some food. You guys want some?" Zeke asks. I look toward Tobias.
"Sure" Is all he says while taking my hand guiding me downstairs.
"Hi" He whispers, looking back at me.
"Hi" I say back with a wide smile.
"Want to watch a movie?" He asks me. I laugh and shake my head.
"No, Tobias. We have work to do" I say sitting down on his couch.
"We have so much time to do that"
"And every minute we have less" I respond.
"Ooh, no, don't say that." He says, sitting down beside me wrapping his arm around my waist.
"The faster we get this project done, the faster we can put a movie in and relax." I say.
"Fine" Tobias says dramatically sounding like a sigh.
I get out my notebook and we start asking questions. We're at this for at least 45 minutes.
"Okay, one last question" Tobias says.
"Okay, shoot"
"How are you so perfect?" He asks and I chuckle out of nervousness.
"I'm serious, Tris"
I get up and look at the movie collection.
"What movie?" I ask him, avoiding his gaze. I hear him chuckle.
"Pick whatever you want to watch" He calls. I grab the wolf of Wall Street just because I don't think I want to look like a wuss when I can't see anything scary and I don't know how he feels about romance. We put it in the movie and get cozy on the couch.
"Tris?" He calls.
"Yeah?" I ask him back.
"You're staying tonight, right?" He asks me.
"If you want me to" I say looking up, to see him already peering down at me.
His lips catch mine for only a short moment.
"Of course I want you to" He says in a breath. After that I lean in closer and lay my head on his chest. I want to be as close as possible to him, and he must feel the same because he lifts me into his lap. His arms wrap around my waist and my head goes into the crook of his neck. He pulls the throw blanket and puts it over us. I have never felt more at home than right in this moment. His thumb is gently rubbing my side where his hand rests. I can barely keep my eyes open when the movie finally finishes. He kisses my cheek.
"Are you hungry?" He asks. I just nod. I am hungry, but I also want to stay like this forever. My arms squeeze him tighter, letting him know I would like to sit like this for a few moments. My eyes slowly become heavier until I can no longer control them and they shut.
I wake up in Tobias' bed. I see Tobias sitting on the couch watching the T.V. I get up and walk in front of him. He smiles at me and take me hand, pulling me down to sit on his lap again. He leans in to kiss me and we do. He pulls back and rest his forehead on mine, looking into my eyes.
"What time is it?" I break the silence.
"It's 1 a.m." He responds.
"Why are you still awake then?" I ask him.
"I didn't want to bother you or make you uncomfortable and it's a little stiff on the couch" He chuckles.
"Why would you sleep on the couch?" I ask him.
"I just wasn't sure if you'd be okay with it" I roll my eyes at him.
"Of course I'm okay with it" I respond to him "It's not like it's the first time"
He laughs a little and nods.
"Yeah, I know, but I would never want to do something that would make you uncomfortable."
Instead of responding I just lean into his chest and he holds me close. We stay quiet for a while until Tobias yawns.
"You tired?" I ask him.
"Yeah, are you?" He asks me back.
"Yeah, let's go to sleep" And with that we head to his bed. We get in and he pulls me close to him and holds me tightly and my head lies on his chest while my arm holds his waist.
We lie in silent before Tobias blurts "I like sleeping with you here"
I can't help but smile. "I like sleeping here, too" I say and his arms tighten around me and he places a kiss to the top of my head.
"Let's sleep, we have a long day planned" Tobias speaks.
"What are you talking about? We were supposed to work on the project"
"Yeah, but we finished. I have a little surprise in mind" He says.
"Can I have hint?" I ask him.
"Nope" He says before continuing "I can't ruin the surprise"
I groan and it causes Tobias to laugh. He kisses my head again.
"Goodnight" He says.
"Goodnight" I repeat.
Tobias pov
I wake up and Tris is already awake. She's drawing circles on my chest softly with her index finger.
"Good morning" I say while I peer down at her. She looks up at me shocked at first, but soon turns to a smile.
"Good morning" She responds to me. I lean in and kiss her. We kiss innocently for a while but I want to deepen it. I run my tongue over her bottom lip but instead of opening like normal, she pulls away. I can't help but be a little hurt.
"Don't look at me like that. I have morning breathe" she says, smiling at me.
"I don't care" I tell her and lean back into her. This time she kisses me back with the same fire. We don't let it go far before I pull away. I can't help but smile at her pouting once I pull away.
"Want me to drop you off for a bit so you can get ready?" I ask her.
"Sure, but it would be easier if I knew what we were doing" She says.
"Dress casual, more than school, less then prom" I say and she chuckles some.
"That doesn't help much, but okay" She responds.
"How about this; take a shower, I'll make breakfast, we'll eat, I'll drop you off so we can get ready, then we'll go" I tell her.
"Sounds like a plan" She says.
"I'll get you a towel"
"Okay"
I get her a towel and she heads to the shower. I go up to the kitchen and start cooking pancakes and frying bacon.
"Since when do you cook?" Uriah asks.
"Since I need to feed Tris" I respond flipping a pancake.
"Would you do this for Jemma?" Uriah asks.
"Tris isn't Jemma" I say coldly.
"Calm down, Tiger. I was teasing you" Uriah says.
"It'd be nice if you and Zeke stopped comparing Tris to Jemma. Jemma is a cold hearted, soul eating bitch. Tris is caring, compassionate, loving, selfless, and beautiful." I say.
"Well, you're screwed." Uriah tells me.
"Why?" I ask him.
"Because you're in love with her" He tells me.
"I'm not sure yet" I respond to him.
"Well, I am. But don't worry, she digs you too." He says stealing some bacon.
"I think I'll wait for her to more than just 'dig' me to proclaim my love for her" I respond lightly.
"Well, I need to hit the gym. You pansies have some fun" He says.
I don't respond I just keep cooking until I feel arms wrap around my waist. Tris kisses my back through my shirt and I take one of her hands and kiss the back of her hands.
"Are you done yet?" Tris asks, referring to the cooking.
We eat for a bit and soon it's time for me to drop her off so she can get dressed. I go home so I can get dressed myself.
Okay so semi-short chapter. I am so sorry it's been a while. My cousin just came to visit and I was gone all weekend and it's been a blast, but I've missed writing. I wish I didn't have school tomorrow so I could write more and make it up to you. I'll write more tomorrow and if I can't upload then, than I promise no later than Tuesday. Thank you guys sooo much for reviewing. I try to respond to all of them because I absolutely love reading them, so encouraging.
Please follow, favorite, and review! Love, love, love you all! - Vanna
