Chapter 9
"Max, why do you need to see my brother?" I asked with clenched teeth.
"That's none of your concern I assure you. I'm going to have someone bring him in to talk to you, I will send for you when he is present." Max spoke.
"As far as the interrogation goes, you did very well for your first day. You are dismissed for the day until Caleb arrives." Max bellowed.
I was honestly surprised he was letting me go already; it was only 2 in the afternoon. I had no one to talk to because everyone was at their jobs, I assumed. I then remembered Tobias was on temporary leave for his job, for working so hard all the time his boss let him off for 2 days' time. I headed back to his room and didn't bother to knock. It had easily become OUR room after my spending so much time there. My room I never used, except for the fact I kept all of my clothes there. I was wondering if some day he would ask me to move into his room with him, but that wasn't going to happen soon. I opened the door lightly and walked into the room to find Tobias not there. The bed sheets were still strewn across the mattress but I knew Tobias was already up and out. Humidity hung in the air from a hot shower. I decided it was time for lunch and that was probably where Tobias was, in the cafeteria.
I made my way to the doors and swung them open. I was right, everyone was in the cafeteria to eat. I saw our table and went to take a seat next to Tobias who was in the middle of having a slice of Dauntless cake, he was devouring it. At the table sat Zeke, Shauna, Christina and Uriah. I wasn't sure where the others were but that didn't matter, I was starving. Apparently, Tobias had heard my stomach grumble, and he looked over at me, about to take a fork full of cake into his mouth.
"Hungry?" He asked
I nodded slightly.
"Let me go get you some burgers." He smiled
After he got up he leaned down and landed a peck on my lips. I giggled after he walked away.
"How's the job coming?" Christina asked.
"Thrilling." I replied with a touch of sarcasm.
In a way it was, constantly trying to hide my self has a bit of adrenaline to it that was thrilling.
"Max treating you well?" She laughed, already knowing the answer.
I scowled at her,
"I had to interrogate Will's sister, Cara today." I murmured
"Why was Cara here?" She exclaimed.
At this point everyone at the table was listening.
"Apparently Caleb sent her, he had a message for me." I muttered
"What was the message?" Christina asked, full of curiosity.
"He wanted to meet me, a guard was there and found out and told Max."
"That's not good, what did Max do?"
"He's bringing Caleb in, I'm worried." I whispered as Tobias came back to the table.
I didn't want Tobias to know quite yet, he would worry about me. He set a tray with two hamburgers, a carton of milk, and a piece of cake down in front of me.
"Eat up." He said poking my tummy.
I giggled and unwrapped the first burger and began munching away. I had both burgers and half a carton of the milk downed with in ten minutes, I then moved to the cake. I caught Tobias eyeing it and let him help me finish it, though, to his disappointment, I ate most of it. After eating lunch Tobias and I said goodbye to our friends and headed back to his room.
"How's the job going, Max isn't catching on?" Tobias asked
"It's good, and no he isn't." I said trying to avoid the interrogation that would lead to bigger things.
"What did he have you do today?" Tobias asked, full of curiosity.
"Oh just helping out around the building." I lied
He could tell I was lying though. His brow furrowed, I knew I was a bad liar and he knew it as well. My voice always cracked when I was lying and this time it did the same thing.
"You're lying, what did he really have you do?" Tobias asked with a serious expression
"I had to do an interrogation, an Erudite wandered around the compound and that brought them in." I muttered
"Who was the Erudite?" He asked
"Cara." I murmured
"Why was she here?"
"Came to say hel-"
"You're lying again."
"Someone asked her to deliver a message to me."
"Who asked her to deliver a message to you, do you know what the message was?"
"Caleb, he wanted to meet me."
"Did Max find out?"
"Yes…"
"What did he do?"
"He wasn't to bring Caleb in." I bowed my head into my hands
"Why did you lie to me Tris?" He asked
"I didn't want you to worry about me. You know as well as I do that Max could easily kill Caleb or forbid me from seeing him, my own brother, again." I murmured
"I'm with you, of course I'm going to worry, no matter what you do you can't stop me from worrying. I love you Tris." He muttered reaching for my hand.
I sat at the edge of the bed trying to keep myself together, this was starting to stress me out.
Tobias grabbed for me hand to pull it away from my face, and I let him. He put a hand on my cheek and kissed me, slowly at first and then more passionately. He grabbed my waist and pushed me back on the bed against the head board. He licked my bottom lip and then slid his tongue in. I grabbed at his shirt and scrunched the fabric in my hand and pulled it over his head. He came back and kissed my neck, sucking lightly and leaving a love bite. He moved down to my collar bone and kissed each raven on the way up. He then slid his lips against my shirt and I bent forward letting him pull it off over my head. We continued this for a long time until a knock came at the door.
