Tris POV
I knew it. I knew it. I told you so. I knew it. It takes everything in me not to burst into a grin and laugh like a creepy idiot. I try to remain calm. Zeke is his best friend and he told me himself that he likes me but I still didn't fully believe him. I'm quite the idiot. But I don't fret about it. He likes me.
"Look, I'm sorry I said that when you're into someone else. I just needed to say it to get it off my chest. I'll go now."
I realize that I was just sitting there not speaking. Before he gets up to leave, I grab his hand and pull him back to sit by me, but a little closer. I do not let go of his hand.
"No, don't go. I uhm. I don't know how to say this but I sort of kind of might like you too?" Of course my awkwardness only happens in situations like this.
He smiles and holds my hand firmer, placing a small kiss on my knuckles. My stomach flip flops and I feel dizzy. He has such an effect on me. We slowly scoot towards each other even closer until our bodies are smushed together. We don't speak. Our hands are laced and lay in Tobias's lap. He is no longer Four. Four is a completely different soul. He is Tobias and only Tobias.
His face somehow becomes closer to mine. I think I know what's going to happen.
Do I want it to happen? Of course I do. But on several different occasions, I have kissed someone I thought I liked and it turned out horrible. But he's not one of those guys.
His lips are now only an inch away from mine. I can feel his breath on my nose. My long and unattractive nose. I'm not pretty enough for him. I don't think he really cares about pretty though.
I feel his lips on mine. They've been there before but that was when I was drunk and everything was blurry. I couldn't feel the heat, or taste his mouth, or wrap my arms around him and tilt my head like I am doing right now.
He pulls me onto his lap and I wrap my legs around him. He puts his hands on my waist and deepens the kiss. I run my hands through his smooth, soft hair and I feel him smile.
Everything is perfect. I don't think anything could ruin this moment.
However, I have no luck and am remarkably incorrect.
I hear her purposely clear her throat and we both quickly untangle ourselves and stand up. Its that chick. The one Tobias was making out with at the party. Everything that was happy 16 seconds ago is long gone. All I feel now I raging fury at what is about to happen.
"Mia. What are you doing here?" Mia. That's a pretentious name. I scoff silently.
"What am I doing here? More like what the hell are you doing? You said to meet you at your place but I find you with some skank? You're such a manwhore!"
Tobias POV
I am an idiot. In her defense, I did say that I would meet up with her later. I admit I led her on. But I thought she was too stupid to understand anything. I was wrong. She is smart, but she plays dumb which is even smarter. I'm not sure if she is doing this because she is actually mad that she caught me with Tris, or if she's just a bitch that wants to ruin my life. It was a miracle that Tris actually liked me back and now everything is a mess.
Tris turns to me and she looks so broken. I broke her. The amount of self loathing I feel right now is incredibly high.
"Y-you did that?" She looks like she's about to cry. It hurts to look at her hurt. It hurts even more that I'm the cause of all this.
"Yes, he did." Mia butts in. She smirks, which only confirms that she is purposely doing this.
"Seriously." She no longer looks sad, but furious. She clenches her jaw. It's hot.
I tend to check her out at the wrong times.
"Yeah he gave me a good ear nip too. Wait." She laughs. "You didn't actually think that he'd be loyal to you, right?"
Tris doesn't say anything but nods her head down. I feel so stupid. I feel like strangling Mia. But I can't. I can't move, or speak, or do anything but stand there.
Mia laughs even more. "Aww, you did? That's so cute! Well then I'd watch out blondie because let me tell you; that wasn't the first time he and I have done anything, and no matter what he says, it sure as hell won't be the last. Four over here can't resist me. No one can." She smiles, flips her hair and struts away. Bringing my dignity and chances with Tris with her. I'm still immobile. We don't move or do anything for minute or two. Then she slowly turns to me.
"Is what she said all true? All of it? Don't you dare lie to me." Her voice is quiet, almost tranquil. It's scary as hell.
I can't lie to her. I can do a lot of things but I will not lie. Not to her. I've already screwed things up beyond fixing. Nothing will make this better and nothing will make it worse. I have nothing to lose.
"Yes." I say. I bow my head down. I don't feel good enough to even look at her.
"I thought you had a massive crush on me." She snickers.
"I do. I really do Tris, you gotta believe me. I don't care about Mia."
"Then why did that just happen? Why do you look so ashamed?"
To explain what happened with Mia. Is extremely complicated. And I don't think she'd want to hear about her. So I will tell her the truth, but dull it down a little.
"Look. We kissed at the party, sure. But I was totally wasted and didn't have control of myself. Then when I was trying to leave to go see Evelyn, she wouldn't let me leave the gates. I had to butter her up and lie to her about meeting me later so I could go through. That's what happened. I have feelings for only you."
She looks up at me and I think she's going to take me back. Boy, m I wrong. She's too strong minded.
"I don't know what to think, Tobias."
I internally groan. As much as I like her, she pisses me off a lot. I just gave her the truth. Nothing even went on between Mia and I so what is there to think anyway?
"There's nothing to think about Tris. Why don't you believe me?"
"I never said I didn't believe you."
"It was implied."
"No, I just said I needed to think."
"Think about what?"
"You, us, I don't know. If Mia is going to be a problem, I don't know if I want part in whatever this is."
"She won't be a problem. She only did that to piss us off. She's evil."
"I'm not sure, Tobias."
"Oh my god. What the hell is wrong with you?!" I shout. It's too late to take it back. My mouth is so impulsive. She looks horrified, and enraged and crushed at the same time.
"I don't know, Four. Maybe it's that I've never been in a serious relationship before and starting one off with some whore threatening me is a bad way to start one. Maybe I'm not sure if I even want to be in a relationship in the first place. Maybe you should've asked me that before kissing me. I don't know, maybe you should tell me what my problem is." She screams and runs away before I can do something.
Crap.
Idk I just really enjoy cliff hangers. Sorry. Ill update tomorrow if you want. But theres only two chapters left and its sad. Dont panic though. Fourtris WILL come. Anyway if you want to know more about Theo's gf, Shes Irish and her name is Ruth Kearney and tbh Shai is wayyyyy prettier and he should just date her. It said they were together in some interview he had( you can probably find it on tumblr or something). Im never going to get over it. Also funny story. I paid six dollars on a large cup at the movie theater just so I could get their faces on it. It was the best six bucks ever spent. Its sitting on my desk right now. Its beautiful.
REVIEW PLEASE!
