Chapter 7
I planned on getting stuff done tonight because I was way behind getting my reports filled for my job. Peter was more than pissed that I was going to be gone for such a long time, so he took advantage of me telling him that I can work on my break by sending me in email by email by email. My inbox was filled to the brim with orders that had to be filled and reports that had to be dated. When I had gotten out of the shower, I put on a pair of comfy black leggings and my rose gold sweater with socks and left my hair down. Just as I had got situated on my bed, my stomach let out a rumble because dinner was at least 2 hours ago and I really, surprisingly, hungry after that delicious food. My mind was telling me that a chocolate croissant was in store for me, but when I turned that corner I wanted to vomit all over that floor when I saw Tobias' tonuge shoved all the way down to Victoria's toes and my appetite instantly went away and I went back to my room.
How he ended up in my room, begging for me to talk to him. . . I don't know. It all ended up happening in a fast blur. I slammed the door in his face before he could try and tell me wrong when all I wanted to say was. . . I told you so. He might not know his emotions, but I know them and I know that he likes Victoria. Me forgetting that he has keys to every room in this cursed palace, he came inside and now I decided to lock myself in the bathroom and pick through my damp curls, paying attention to the various curvy patterns while he continued to ramble on the other side of the door.
"Are you even listening to me?" I gave him a grunt that told him yes, and to get the hell away from me. He chuckled to himself and I can imagine him leaning against the door, smiling, "You are so infatuating, malyshka. I can go all night." Of course his meaning and my meaning are two different things. I can't help but to sigh and look at my flustered face in the mirror.
"What is wrong with you?" I whisper to myself. One moment I'm fully of tough emotions and blocking people out, now I can't help but to cry or giggle when something happens. I've been through so many encounters with him in the past week that I don't know where to start. Tobias asks me what I said but I groan again which causes him to laugh, "There is nothing to talk about, Tobias. I'm not mad at you for liking her and you shouldn't care if I care. Now, go tend to your woman because it looked like I interrupted something."
"You don't even know the full story. Who says that I'm wondering how you feel?" Yes, I will admit that, that hurt. "If you weren't so mad then why can't you face me?"
I bite my lip and push my hair out of my face before I open the door and give Tobias an impatient look, "What now?" Tobias placed his hands on my shoulder and I shrugged him off of me, I heard him ramble from behind me on and on about him needing to fully grasp my attention before we had an actually conversation. I sat on the edge of my bed and crossed my legs over each other, "Okay, Tobias. You have my attention." I said sarcastically.
"Tell me why you are upset and slammed the door in my face and continued to tell me you weren't mad. . . when you were-"
"-Oh my goodness. Tobias, I'm not mad that you're dating someone else-"
"-I'm not dating someone else-"
"-I guess it's different in Russia, but back in America when you kiss someone on the lips who is the opposite sex and who isn't family means there is a relationship brewing."
Tobias remains silent while I try to find my laptop, "Tris, I don't like her. She honestly just told me that she just wants to end it." Didn't look like it, "Are you mad at me?"
"No, there isn't a reason to be mad at you about." Hell yes, I mad at you, you put me through so many emotions that I don't even know who I am anymore. I'm supposed to be Tris―the girl who exercises and has a straightforward vibe to it, the girl who doesn't think getting a tattoo is painful, the girl who rather drink whisky than champagne, and the girl who doesn't get attached to a guy and care about their feelings. What am I turning into?
"Just know this Tris, I will get what I want by the end of this trip." My heart gradually picks up speed at his words and he leaves my room. Each step he takes not only brings him closer to the door, but it also leaves me in anticipation. What is he talking about? What will he get? Sex? Relationship? or Apology? This is all too confusing!
Tonight is the night that we go to the club, finally the awkwardness between Tobias and I vanish into the air as we will drink and dance the night away. And I thought things will be awkward with Eric and I. . . if anything he teases me about Tobias. Of course I catch him staring at other places that is not my face, but then again he got to have all of this at one point. To go out to the club tonight, I decided on something really cute.
"Saucy, mámi, saucy." Christina wiggles her eyebrows as I turn the corner and see most of everyone sitting there. I stop and take a moment to pose for them and all start making noise like I'm taking pictures for some vogue magazine. I chuckle and just relax for once and decide to enjoy myself.
"Let's go." Victoria mutters angrily as she storms past us in a flashy, dress. Tobias follows behind shaking his head slightly and I raise my eyebrows and follow behind them. I'm not going to let their pissy mood ruin my last couple of nights of fun. I got all dressed up; a crop top that has a connecting choker collar and a pair of matching black high waist jeans with rips in them. The crop top is black along with the jeans so I put on nude colored shoes and I filled that same color in my lips and put on some mascara, eyeliner, and did my inner corner with silver. I spent over an hour straightening my curly hair and I tucked it behind my ear and shrugged on a black jean jacket before I changed all my piercings to black jewelry and I was complete with my outfit. . . I'll be dammed if I wear a dress or skirt.
"Who pissed in her butterbrots this morning." Zeke mutters and I completely loose it, most of us laughing like a total maniac. It wouldn't be as funny if he said something about cereal but considering that butterbrots is a Russian breakfast, it makes it much funnier than anticipated. We get inside the truck and guess who I am beside? Eric, I honestly thought I would sit beside Tobias but he actually wants to sit in the front..
It's no one back here but he and I and I would lie if my heart was beating a little bit, but seeing his smug smirk made me scowl and glare at him, "Come sit on daddy's lap." He pats his lap and I hear Christina chuckling as I glare at him and sit as far away from him as possible, I don't know why I was getting all riled up in the first place, the car starts to move and I feel Eric rub my thigh softly.
"What is your problem?" I know he has no intentions of getting with me, he just likes pissing me off for the hell of it. Throughout the whole ride we all talk and laugh with high hopes of having a great time tonight. Maya sounds a little too enthusiastic when she tells us that the first thing she is going to do is take a shot. I've always known her to be a lightweight drinker so I go ahead and get myself prepared to hold her hair back tonight.
We pull up to a nightclub where it looks like it's more american's than Russian's here tonight, not that it matters, and by the muffled sound of Roses by the Chainsmokers it seems like it's pretty lit. It doesn't take long to get into the club with having Tobias there. Lights flash by quickly in the dark room and the music is loud, people are talking, laughing, drinking, dancing, and even smoking as they vibe together. Already, I feel someone slap the hell out of my butt and I nearly fall forward and if it wasn't for Tobias' broad back then I would have fallen on my face.
"Want to dance already?" He turns around, cockily as ever as our group descends to one of the tables and starts ordering drinks. I roll my eyes at Tobias as he smiles and places his hands on my shoulders, close to my neck and I can only image him wrapping his hand around it. . . damn, fifty shades of grey has really changed my life. I look up at him and he gives me a smile and before I can even process it he leans down and f_cking kisses me! I freak out inside as a total look of shock crosses across my face once he pulls away. His hand travels down my back and squeezes my butt making a gasp slip past my lips, "Don't always be mad." He presses one last kiss on my lips before he leaves me standing in the middle of the dance floor and people start squeezing towards me making me a grind sandwich as I watch Tobias' perfect head fade into the darkness.
I promise myself that this will be the last shot of the night as I down it and it joins the rest of the alcohol in my stomach. The sting of the liquor burns my already scorched throat and I honestly instantly feel the difference as I feel myself starter to lighten up and I take a sip of my long island iced tea and just as I am about to turn around and vanish back to the dance floor where my friends accompany but there stands a man a little bit taller than me, his jet black hair is messy and his eyes are nearly bloodshot. I see he has a few tattoos on his arms and he gives me a sly grin, "You here alone?" What takes me back is his crystal clear american accent, well not crystal clear, but american accent.
"No," I glance towards Christina dancing on Will with a smile on her face. She catches my eye and waves at me, giving the guy a funny look as he steps closer to me, "I'm with friends."
I give him a smile and stupid curtsy before I start to walk away when he grabs my arm tightly, restricting me from walking away. Before something could even pop off, one single glance from Tobias, he unhands me and walks away. Tobias laughs and wraps his arms around my waist, "Did you just curtsy?" He laughs again as a blush forms across my face.
"Leave me alone." I mutter, looking up at Tobias and before either one of us could say anything Marlene's arm clasps down my wrist and she glances between the two of us. She gives me a smirk and wiggles her eyebrows making me roll my eyes at her.
"Maya is sick in the bathroom, puking everywhere." She shivers in disgust, "We're all going to call it in for the night, is the driver still outside?" She turns to Tobias.
It seems as if something clicks in Tobias' head and he nods his head, "How about all of you stay? Tris and I will take her home," I go to protest but the look he gives me sends shivers down my spine and I decide to be quiet for once. It takes quite a while to get a glass of water from the bar and give it to Maya, we calmed her down, cleaned her up and got Edward to go with us. No one really noticed that we were gone since they were having so much fun, I am honestly dissapointed that I couldn't stay back and dance with them but something tells me that we're just not going to bed and my daring side wants to push and see's what happens.
We pull up to the home and help out a drunk Maya to her room and Edward takes it from there, "Thanks guys, it's going to be a long night." He glances at Maya who is currently face down on the couch, moaning.
"Yeah, no problem. Just don't get puke on my carpet." Tobias narrows his eyes at Edward who laughs and shuts the door. Tobias takes my hand and leads me to his bedroom, we go down the hall and through a small door where I would have never guessed it would be and we go up a flight of steps and into his bedroom. It's pretty big with a large window that show's the icy landscape of Russia. Toias tells me that it gets absolutely warm in the Spring and Summer and I can't wait to see it. . . if I come back. His bed is a king size and it sure is fit for a king with a sheer black canopy and gold satin sheets and pillows, he has a large fluffy rug and a fireplace right in front of his bed. It's absolutely magical in here and I would love to just lay in bed all day with no worries.
My thoughts get cut off when Tobias slaps my butt and I jump, "Have a seat." He gestures towards the bed, pulling back the canopy and I marvel at how it looks like there was never a canopy.
I cross my arms and stare at Tobias with disbelief, "I want to go back to the club and dance, you totally killed my vibe." I narrow my eyes at him as he chuckles and his deep voice sends shivers down my back and to my toes, he walks towards a small wet bar and pours a amber colored liquid into two small glasses and hands me one, "And don't expect to have sex with me because I don't trust your bed, I don't know how many girls have been in there." I ball my face up in disgust at him as he steps towards me and we both drink our drinks.
"So, you mean to tell me that if I didn't have girls after me you would have sex with me? That is hysterical, malyshka." he throws his head back with laughter as we place our empty glasses on the bedside table and he has a seat on the edge of the sofa as I remain standing in front of him with my arms crossed, "This is my bedroom and no one comes in here, not even the maids because I am capable of cleaning my own room. You are the first one to be in here for a while, even when I used to fly Zeke out here, he's never came in here. And Victoria has never step foot in here or that secret passage to get up here. I don't like her and I've never had sex with her."
Happiness courses through my body because I know that Tobias would never lie to me. Honestly, I want to jump in his arms and go at it like bunny rabbits because I've been on edge for some time and it's almost like a sin for me to orgasm here. After those last few words leave his mouth a whole different atmosphere falls into the room and to lighten the mood Tobias gets up and cuts on his bedside clock radio and some soft music begins to play throughout the room, Tobias grabs me by my waist and starts slow dancing with me, "This might be opposite of what you mean to dance but we're dancing." He laughs as I feel him rubbing against my chest and I fight my best to not let my nipples harden at the slight touch.
We slow dance in a comfortable yet slightly tense aura and I feel his hands slide down my back and they rest on my butt and I shake my head at him with a chuckle, "Why do you have such a big place with you only living here?" I honestly would be scared to death at the thought of the house being so empty with the exception of workers.
"Well, this house is passed down for many generations from my family and each adds on a modern touch. Of course as modern as you can get in your era, but I tried making all of the maids and workers leave because I don't like that. I can do everything I need to do myself," He shakes his head, "I'm by myself, why in the hell do I need maids for the mess I make? I spend a lot of time here with my mother and like you know my father is long gone and I couldn't be happier, I also live a lot in Queensland, Australia on the Gold Coast. But, all of this is for another time."
He grabs my face in between his hands and he does what I've been waiting for a long time, he kisses the hell out of me.
Damn, I'm trying to get this out within a few minutes before I have to leave for school. I hope you enjoy it and I also think that Tris and Tobias have been on edge for the past couple of chapters and finally. . . or hopefully. . . the next chapter will be what we're all waiting for. Next chapter should be out pretty rapidly, I'm going to be gone this weekend so I will update as frequently as possible this week. Enjoy! Ps: I'm just going to stop telling you it's not edited because you all get my drift that I don't edit because I don't have the time .
