"See that wasn't so bad. I mean nobody made a scene, except for Shauna and Marlene choking on the nachos." Tobias says as we walk towards his car, hand in hand.
I giggle remembering the look of shock on everyone's face. Despite the sounds of Shauna and Marlene choking, they were silent. How could Tris get knocked up by Tobias. We weren't even dating. I'm sure though by the end of my pregnancy these girls will try to make us fall in love with each other. At this point, I believe anything can happen.
My hand tightens around his before I can stop myself. But say if I do fall in love and he leaves. Tobias wouldn't hesitate if he ever found out about me and Evelyn.
"Hey. Hey lucky charm, what's wrong?" His voice sounds distant.
Tobias pulls me to a stop standing tall in front of me.
My head falls as guilt eats away at me. Technically I haven't done anything wrong only calling her to see what she wanted with our lives. I'm sure if I hadn't called, she'd make her way down here and I couldn't have that. Tobias shouldn't have to see that bitch ever again. I haven't responded to her though, not knowing what to do or who to even talk to. I can't disclose Tobias's private business with Caleb or Christina. But I can't tell him. He cannot find out.
"Honestly Tobias, I'm just feeling so tired and I'm thinking about all the work that I have to do tomorrow."I Iie through my teeth.
Tobias lifts my chin up so I can look him in the eye.
"I thought we talked about this I don't want you to feel stressed. Its not good for you and the baby. "He frowns.
"How about you and I take tomorrow off and we can head down to the beach. Think about it, sun, sand and a shirtless Four" He suggests raising his eyebrows.
"Oh so you're bribing me to come with you being shirtless... deal" I grin before throwing arms around him. He really knows how to make me feel better. How can I ever let him go?
"You're the best Tobias... now will you take me home so I can pee? You know I hate public restrooms."
The drive to my apartment is not eventful, with Tobias serenading me with a Top 40 song. His voice is smooth like velvet. And it made me want to jump him. Best friends aren't supposed to think that.
As I unlock the door and rush to go relieve myself, I hear him shuffling around the the kitchen. Probably looking for some cheetos and soda. We just came back from dinner but that boy can eat.
I strip and step into the stand up shower, turning the water to lukewarm. Sometimes some Abnegation values run deep while others don't.
Out of nowhere, Tobias appears in the bathroom.
"Tris do you want tea?" He asks.
"Fuck Tobias are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
"Sorry Tris" He says sheepishly.
"But to answer your question, make a cham-"
"A chamomile tea with milk no sugar, have the honey on the side in case if you're feeling it" Tobias finishes for me, leaving to make it.
The ac is on blast in my apartment and its causing my nipples to pucker through the lavender silk tank top Christina gave me last Christmas. I try making them less noticeable but failed miserably. Who gives a shit, he's already had his fun with them already.
My slippers flap against the floor as I walk to the kitchen. I lean against the wall admiring him in nothing but his pants, his tattoo bold against his skin.
"You're not going to take the pants off too" I ask smiling at him.
"If my drunken mind recalls, you said you didn't like them, I took them off and now you're pregnant. Drink up before it gets cold."
I snort taking a seat at the breakfast island "God Tobias, so blunt as always."
"But what I meant was to relax because I feel like we need to talk some things through. Like how are we going to raise this baby" I mention while rubbing my flat stomach.
"Of course. Why don't we take this to the living room?" He says and grabs my hand, gently pulling me of the stool. I am quick to make sure my tea isn't left behind.
He plops down on the couch, me right beside him.
He takes a deep breath before facing me fully, "Tris... today when we told our friends that you were expecting they were surprised that we weren't together. We talked about this before in the car but you can't say that there might not be anything when-when we didn't at least try. I know I'm not the best guy out there but there could be something more between the two of us."
My heart beats frantically in my chest as he presses up against me.
Be Brave Tris
I take a deep breath. "Yes Tobias, we can try to see if there's something but first promise me. Promise me that if this doesn't work or I do something stupid you won't leave me... or the baby."
"Beatrice..." He looks distraught.
"Promise me... Please?" I whimper overcome with emotion. Tears burn in my eyes.
"I promise you Beatrice. I promise that things won't ever change. I won't ever leave." And he kisses me hard, pushing me into the couch.
I finally break away from his lips for air and rub my thumb across his slightly swollen bottom lip. He looks so damn sexy.
"If we're going to do the deed, please take me to the bedroom. I rather not ride you here again."
"Not even for old times sake?" He asks smirking.
I go to punch him in the arm but he laughs and pulls me into his lap, my feet enclosing around his waist.
"Okay, okay. I guess there's always next time right?"
Tomorrow morning, along with the hickies will be a nice big fat bruise.
Oh well.
A/N: Surprise! Sorry for the extremely late update. Thanks for all the support :)
