I saw my brother today and i knew that i would be in trouble when i got back i was just hoping four would be the one to reprimand me but just my luck it was Eric. he caught me just as i was walking back into dauntless headquarter. "Where you were you?" he said in his quiet scary tone.
"I left, i know i shouldnt have" i looked at the floor i explained but i wasn't saying sorry. "Why" he pushed. i couldn't tell him that i went to erudite to see my brother. the one thing dauntless loves to promote is faction before blood. telling him i went to see caleb would be like a betrayal.
"I-" "She ran off because i rejected her" four said standing behind eric. i was thankful he was here but i was not happy about what he said. Eric still looking at me watched my face and i tried to look embarrassed. "What did she do?" he asked turning to four but keeping his hand on my shoulder holding me against the wall.
"kiss me" he said calmly, i felt like shrinking into a ball. i do want to kiss him but lately i don't know if that's something he would want, he's hard to read. "Well next time don't run off initiate" he let go of my shoulder and i nodded. "And four take your little love sick puppy back inside before someone gets the wrong idea about her" four walked over and grabbed my arm but only as a show for eric because the minute we entered and passed a hallway he let go.
i hated the feeling i got when he did, i almost felt cold. "Why did you leave?" he asked sort of grumpy "Didn't you hear? apparently i tried to kiss my instructor because i'm such a love sick puppy that when he rejected me i ran off crying" i said very sarcastically. he stopped and looked at me "Tris you know i was lying" "Could've come up with a better lie" i mumbled my face getting red. truth is all i could think about was kissing him. out of nowhere i felt his fingers lace through mine.
i looked down at our intertwined hands and then back up to him. he cupped my face with his hand and looked into my eyes "i wouldn't reject you" he said and just as i thought he was going to lean in he pulled away. "I'll see you tomorrow" and at that i was left standing in some random hallway confused as all hell but i knew one thing that made me happy four wanted to kiss me.
