Dauntless Academy Part II Chapter 14: Love Somebody, a divergent trilogy fanfic

The middle and ending of this chapter suggests sex. Rated M, just to be safe, so please use caution.

This is rather short chapter, so sorry. But hopefully you'll love it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Divergent or any characters, plots, places contained in the book. Those belong to Veronica Roth. Credit to her for other ideas. I got the idea to name Veron High and Roth High (mentioned in Part I) after her as well. Not sure if there really is such a Veron or Roth HS, but if there is, I'm not talking bad about you.

Enjoy!

ERIC

I knocked on the door and waited for Alex to answer. She opened it and got off the phone.

"I was just about to call you," she said moving on the side for me to walk in.

"Yeah?"

"My parents said they'd love to have you over earlier. Of course, they're sending a van to pick us up, so we have to leave like a couple hours earlier, which is fine, because I'm already packed."

"That's great. I should have asked your parents myself."

"No need, Eric," she said leaning up to kiss my cheek. "You should hurry back and finish packing. I'll see you in the morning."

"Where's Christina?"

"She's staying the night at Will's," Alex shrugged. "She apparently has to stay back at home. So to get her to shut up about not seeing him, I suggested they go and spend the night together."

"Will must be happy about that," I started to chuckle.

"Uriah isn't."

"That's right. Marlene left already."

"They're actually coming on the van with us. I didn't realize this but Zeke folks live not too far from us, so my Dad said it works out for both my parents and Zeke's mom."

I let out a bit of a sigh.

"What's wrong?"

"Your brother, Uriah, Zeke, and Four made plans to do something one weekend."

"I'm sure they'll include you."

"That's why I'm a little irritated. I wanted to spend a lot of time with you."

"Me too," she kissed me again and we both sat on her bed. "But my parents will be there as well. And that weekend they were going to do something, I already called Lynn and said her and I could do something else." I rolled my eyes.

"I don't know if I want you hanging out with Lynn."

"Why?"

"Do I really need to answer that question?" Alex rolled her eyes this time.

"Lynn has a girlfriend, you don't need to worry about her."

"Yeah, you're right. It would take a lot to take you away from me anyway," I pulled her into my lap as she giggled. Like actually giggled. I wanted to laugh, but started to kiss her instead. I didn't want to get this too far, seeing that I came here with other intentions. "I have something for you," I told her stopping the kiss.

She pulled back and I saw that same look in her eyes. There was denying it right now. I moved down and so did she, so that we were both sitting on the side of her bed. I handed her a small box. She looked at me questionable.

"I was going to wait for Christmas, but wanted to give it to you now."

"What is it," she asked as she shook the box.

"Just open it."

She slowly pulled on the wrapping, handing it to me to throw away. She opened the small lid and pulled out the plastic container. As soon as she saw it, she smiled and then started to laugh.

"I remember seeing the state of your old one," I told her as she pulled out the brand new iPod touch. "And you mentioning that you had to get your own so you wouldn't have to listen to Christina's music."

"It's not all that bad actually. Some of it grows on you, kind of like Christina." I gave her a look and she started to giggle.

"What's with the giggling?"

"I don't know," she whined. "I'm starting to act like her too now! Argh!" She threw her head back.

"A little giggling is fine," I made her look at me. "Just don't overdo it and please don't ever lose that headstrong, easy going, sexy, fearless, confident, sassy girlfriend that I have."

"I won't," she said softly and gave me her innocent smile.

"Now, is my sassy girlfriend going to take care of this iPod?"

She jumped on me, hugged me, and then kissed my cheek.

"Thanks. And Yes. I promise I won't break it, especially since it came from you." Alex gave me another kiss and then took it out of the plastic case. "Oh, you already opened it?"

"I put a song on it, too," I said clearing my throat. Why was I suddenly panicking?

"Just one?"

"Just like how you said you don't want to hide what you feel for me anymore. I don't want to hide how I feel for you. And this song makes me think about us." She looked at me confused. I grabbed the iPod from her hand and put it in the dock and let the song play. I turned her around to straddle me once it started. As the lyrics came on, I stroked her cheek.

I know your insides are feeling so hollow
And it's a hard pill for you to swallow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I'll never recover
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same

We made out the second the song started. I wanted to pour everything I had into this moment. I wanted it filled with nothing but passion.

I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only half way there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I'll think about you every single day
I know we're only half way there
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way

You're such a hard act for me to follow
Love me today, don't leave me tomorrow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I'll never recover
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same

She leaned arching her back, allowing me to move my lips down to kiss her chest. I ran my hand slowly up, reaching her neck, and pulling her back to kiss her neck again. I pulled her into an even closer straddle and started running my hands on her back under her shirt.

I spent time just moving slowly over her face, lightly touching her, memorizing every little curve and tracing every little piece of her skin.

I don't know where to start, I'm just a little lost
I wanna feel like we never gonna ever stop
I don't know what to do, I'm right in front of you
Asking you to stay, you should stay, stay with me tonight, yeah

I pulled her head closer to mine and we started kissing again. I let the rest of the song play out as we continued to make out.

"Alex," I whispered as the song ended. She pulled back and we both smiled and I knew this was the perfect moment. I kissed her softly again.

"Alex, there is no one else that I want to be with, no one else I can picture standing beside me, no one else I want to hold in my arms, no one else who could make me happy, strong, fearless, and smart. No one else but you. I feel like a fool for not telling you this sooner but, Alexandria Kent, I love you."

She immediately pulled back and stared at me. "Eric?"

"I am in love you, Alex. I never should have waited this long to tell you. I never should have let anything doubt my feelings. But as certain as I am that the sun will rise in the sky tomorrow is as certain as how much I love you." Her smile grew and her eyes lit up and that look that she had in them was one that I would always want to see. She threw her arms around me and started to kiss me harder. Alex pulled back quite abruptly and started to laugh a little.

"I love you, Alex."

"I love you too," she whispered. My heart almost leaped out of my chest. I leaned our foreheads together.

"Tell me, just one more time."

"I love you," Alex whispered again. I pulled back just a little, enough to look her in the eyes.

"I didn't think I heard you," I raised an eyebrow at her and gave her a smirk. She shook her head and then kissed me once.

"I love you, Eric," she stated more loudly. We both started to laugh. "Honestly I don't know why I waited so long to tell you how I felt about you either. We were both so stupid. So stupidly in love, I guess," she shrugged. "I have no shame in saying it now. Eric Matthews, I am in love with you," she said as she ran her hands along the inside of my shirt and that was all the encouragement I needed to lay her down on the bed and keep her there for the rest of the night.

I moved, laying her down on the bed, resting my body on top of her as we started to kiss. After a few moments, she pulled at my shirt. I sat up and pulled it off. She snaked her arms pulling me closer on top of her. She started to sigh with every kiss. She hooked her leg around me and pushed hard back on me, making us flip over. Alex smiled and I just had to look into her eyes. Yup, she wanted to misbehave.

Alex sat up and took off her shirt. I sat up too and started to kiss her. I wanted to push her back down on the bed. But she held her ground, determined to keep her dominance over me. She pressed her lips harder to mine. When the hell did she get so aggressive? I didn't care. I loved it! She exerted everything in her to stay in the straddle and hold power over me. Even when I started to suck and nibble at her neck, she still wouldn't fall back. She pressed her waist harder down into me, letting out moans here and there.

I pulled on her hair trying to see if it would give me any power back. No. She just exerted herself more into keeping her position on top of me. I was beyond turned on. And no matter how much I thought about a dead dog, there was nothing that could block out the excitement, the desire, the sensuality of everything she was doing right now. This was the most passion I ever felt, and we still had majority of our clothes on. After a while, she pulled back, exhausted from the intense kissing. I ran my fingers over her lips. They looked swollen.

"That was by far, the hottest, sexiest, best make out ever," I told her. That was no lie. She smiled.

"I'm glad you liked it," she said moving to kiss my neck. She started to suck hard as she pressed her waist with such force down on me. I squeezed her waist to keep her there. I really wanted this to continue on, but knew that even though her body may have screamed for it, she didn't say she was ready just yet.

"I love it, actually. I love this right now," I responded breathless from fighting for control and nuzzled her neck. All this caressing, you would think I would have gotten soft. In actuality I had fallen in love.

"I love it, too," she responded pulling back. I felt her body ease up and she slowly laid back down, pulling on my arm to follow her. Was she going to let me have control now?

"I love you, Eric," she whispered, relaxing her body back on the bed. I guess I did have the control now.

"I love you, too, Alex," I replied and started our next passionate make out session.

I woke up feeling Alex move slightly in my arms. Someone's phone was buzzing. I opened my eyes and saw that she was still sleeping. I slowly eased her head to rest of the pillow instead of my chest and got up to look for where the beeping was coming from.

It was coming from Alex's phone that got kicked under her bed. I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"So you did sleep in my sister's room?" It was Aidan.

"Yeah, we were talking and we got tired..."

"Are you sure about that? You two were talking? Never mind, I don't want to know. Is my sister up?"

"She's still sleeping."

"When she does wake up, can you tell her to call me back?"

"Okay," I answered.

Then Aidan hung up. I hope he wasn't going to get upset that I slept down here. I almost started to laugh remembering that Alex and I forgot to ask permission. I turned to look at Alex still sleeping peacefully. I smiled remembering last night. There was still some time left before the cab was coming to pick us up, I thought when I looked at the clock. I climbed back under the blanket and moved Alex's head back onto my chest.

"Eric," she started to stir.

"Sh, I'm here."

"What time is it?"

"It's okay," I said rubbing her lower back. "Go back to sleep, Alex." She cuddled closer to me and I felt her body relax.

After half an hour, I was planning on waking her, but I ended up falling off to sleep, too.

I felt Alex jump out of my arms. I looked to see what was going on. She leaned over my body and grabbed her phone. Shit! What time is it now?

"Hello," Alex said into the phone. She picked herself up from leaning against me and looked at me shocked.

"What is it," I whispered. She shook her head. I scanned down her body looking at her with just her bra on. There were two hickeys on her neck and one on her chest. I wanted to reach out and touch her, pulling her back to me. But she was on the phone. Not now, Eric, I shook my head.

"No, Aidan." There was a pause. Then she started to laugh.

"Why else do you think he slept here?" It almost sounded like she was mocking her brother.

"Well, we didn't use protection last night," she said jokingly. Why would she joke about that to her brother? He's really going to kill me. "Because, nothing happened Aidan. That's why! There was no need for it."

I wanted to yell, yeah cause we only made out! I thought back to last night and remembered all the intense and heated moments. But that definitely would not be something Aidan would want to hear, especially since he said he didn't want to see it.

"I know, Aidan," Alex responded. Aidan must be scolding her. She rolled her eyes.

"Really," she sounded irritated at whatever he was telling her.

"Well, if that's the case I guess I'm going to miss the airplane, too," she said smiling and looking at me.

"Yeah, yeah," she looked the other way.

"Okay." There was a pause. "Okay." Another pause. Man Aidan must really be upset about me sleeping down here. It kind of didn't help that she had to joke around about the protection thing.

"I understand, Aidan. Yes, I'll be ready for the cab!" Alex hung up and stared at the wall across the room.

"I'm sorry," I said sitting up. "Your brother called earlier. I should have just woke you up, then."

"No, it's alright," she said leaning back into me.

"What did he say?"

"He knew you were here, which was surprising, until just now, because I didn't know that he called earlier and you spoke to him. He asked if we had sex," she said slowly and turned to look at my reaction.

"I gathered that much form the conversation," I answered her smiling. She smiled too with a hint of naughtiness in her eye. "You just had to mention that we didn't use protection, didn't you?"

"Well, we didn't," she answered laughing lightly.

"Your brother is going to kill me, Alex."

"He knows we didn't have sex and that I was just joking with him." She pulled herself into my lap and ran her arms around my neck. This was bringing back fond memories of last night.

"Unfortunately, he reminded me that you won't be able to sleep with me for the next three weeks. And that when we return, he doesn't want us to have any more sleepovers for a while."

I started to chuckle. "Probably shouldn't have joked about us having unprotected sex."

"Probably," she said looking down. Then her eyes shot up and she smiled mischievously. I gulped suddenly frightened by the wicked look in her eye. "It's true what they say," she asked still smiling.

"About what," I said cautiously.

"That a guy has a boner in the morning."

"What makes you think I have boner," I said trying to play around with her. Although there was no denying that right now I felt really turned on for her. She just had to scoot harder onto me, too.

"I thought I felt it all the other times we woke up next to each other, but after making out a few times, including the times last night, I know that's what I'm feeling poking me right now."

"Why do you look so proud, like you've accomplished something?"

"I never thought I could give a guy a boner," she responded softly. Almost like she was embarrassed.

"You're kidding, right?"

"No, actually," she looked sad. "I never really had that much attention from guys at Amity Prep. And I know that you've had other girls before. I just didn't think I would compare, sexually." I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "I know we said we wouldn't bring it up. But I guess, yeah, I'm proud that I gave you one, because it makes me feel special," she shrugged. "Like I can turn my boyfriend on."

"Well, Alex, you don't have to worry. Because actually, you've given me one lots of times." I kissed her softly. "Yes, almost every morning we slept together I woke up with one and yes, almost every time we made out I had one." She put on a smile and scooted back a little. "Alex, I don't want you to ever think about that, okay?" She nodded.

"It's just that..."

"Alex, you make me happy. We've covered this so much times. I'm with you and only you. I've waited for so long to love somebody and have them love me back. And I've finally met that one person. You're the one, the only one."

"I love you Eric."

"I love you Alex." I continued to rub her back soothingly, until I felt her relax and I saw her smile return. "You okay now?"

"Yes."

"Good."

We started to make out again. And it wasn't until she pulled back and looked at me evilly that I wished she wasn't pressing against my dick so much. She wiggled in my lap and I groaned.

"Can I see it?"

"WHAT?!"

"I want to see it," she motioned to my boxers.

"No."

"Why not," she asked as she moved her hands to take off my boxers.

"Alex." I grabbed her hands and held them to her side.

"Please Eric. I just want to see it."

"Alex, not right now. You're brother is already upset with me about sleeping here and thinking that we had unprotected sex. Not to mention, we have a cab to catch back to your house. If we miss that, how are you going to explain to your parents what made us late?"

"I guess. But it wouldn't take that long, would it? I just want to see..."

"Alex," I cautioned her.

"Can I touch it then?"

"You have no idea how much I want you to do that. But not now Alex, okay?" She was about to pout. "Don't you dare give me that face. If you do, we might not leave this room."

"Fine."

"I love you, Alex," I whispered and kissed her softly.

"I love you Eric." She jumped back into my lap. "I still want to see it." I shook my head, lifted her off as I stood up too, and walked us to the door.

"I'm going to leave now, before you get me all excited again. Go and get changed, I'll be back in a few minutes to get you and your stuff."

She leaned up and kissed me. I had to resist the urge to push her against the wall and continue making out. I knew that PDA would be even more limited now that I was going to her parent's house for three whole weeks, might as well get used to it now. I kissed her forehead.

"I'll see you soon," I whispered and walked up to my room.
