Sorry for taking so long to update but I couldn't do much about it when my laptop got attacked by virus and took so long to get repaired. To make up for it, I have posted a longer chapter. Hopefully you like it.

Thank you so much to everyone who read and reviewed. I got to more than 100 reviews on this story so yay! Thank you so much all of you.

Chasing her?

Tobias' POV

I take a step back from Nita in surprise but also recoiling from the thought of me kissing her.

I need to go! Tris may have seen that unfortunate kiss at the countdown and maybe that is why she is keeping her distance from me. Maybe she does like me after all.

I rush out of my cabin, heading straight towards the stairs when I am stopped by Amar, my boss and mentor.

"Hey Four, hope you had a good break and Happy New Year. I hope you are done with the blueprints for today's meeting and have briefed your team fully" is what he says.

This meeting is important to Erudite architects, this contract could mean making it or breaking it on an international scale. I know I have to stay for a few more hours, I can talk to Tris later.

"Thank you and yes, we are ready Amar" I say with a sigh, work comes first.

After a long meeting talking about the project and staying away from Nita, I finally get to leave.

Amar chuckles as I look at my watch for the thousandth time since morning and tells me to go to whatever is making me so antsy.

I rush out of the office building, desperate to talk to Tris now.

I walk over to Tris' apartment and see Lynn just getting out. She sees me and glares crossing her arms over her chest shutting the door behind her.

"What is it now, Four? Came to see how Tris is fairing? Because let me tell you she is just fine" she says spitting out Four like it leaves a bitter taste in her mouth.

"I-no! I-I didn't. I didn't mean to kiss Nita, that was just me drunk not knowing what I was doing" I say trying to justify myself but still wanting to see Tris. "Please just let me see Tris and explain it all to her" I beg Lynn and am surprised by this vulnerable side of me.

If Lynn is surprised by me begging like this she doesn't show it on her face. She just stares at me like she is trying to figure out if I am telling the truth or not.

Lynn is hard to read because like me she knows how to control her emotions, but I don't even try to put on a mask now. I just want to talk to Tris.

"How do I know you are telling the truth though?" she says.

"You don't but I am really telling the truth, you just have to trust me" I say, my voice an octave higher, now really desperate to see Tris.

"Do you love her?" she asks me, her voice definitely not soft but somehow kinder, and I am surprised by this question and also by the change.

"I don't know if I do love her yet but this is definitely more than just attraction" I say, the words less than a whisper. It's true, I don't know if I do love her yet but I do think that I am getting there slowly. Just the thought terrrifies me, the thing I have been avoiding for so long, the thing I never thought I could have seems to be in just arms reach and the scary thing is despite all of that I want to go for it, fall in love because I don't think there will be anything better than being in love with Tris, she lights up the whole world.

Lynn searches my face and she seems to find what she is looking for because she pulls me away from the door of her new apartment.

"I believe you but also know that if you hurt Tris, I won't spare you", she says "also, it would be better if you give her some space for awhile."

I nod my head, not wanting to argue against Lynn now, not when I don't have the energy to. I run my hand through my hair again. I understand what she is saying, and really seeing Tris when she is calm will be better for me too than going to see her now, but I really want to see her.

Tris POV

I was not able to sleep all of last night, mostly tossing and turning around in bed until early this morning when I finally did get to sleep. It's only when Lynn comes to wake me up that I do, she tells me its noon and that I should haul my ass out of my bed soon. I am grateful that I don't have work today but I still do need to get up.

Grudgingly, I do wake up, sleepily making my way to the kitchen. There is not much there though, so I just help myself to cereals deciding to go for grocery shopping later.

Lynn is in a hurry, almost out the door before she remembers to grab her wallet, and has to rush back in.

I continue my breakfast without really paying attention to everything that Lynn is upto. Only when I hear another voice do I look up.

It's To-Four, it's Four.

I can't see him because Lynn has walked out, shutting the door behind her, probably so as to not let me see him, especially after yesterday. But I would recognize that voice anywhere.

I can't deny my curiousity so I walk up to the door peeking through the peephole to see Lynn's dark pixie-cut hair and Four, standing there talking to her. He looks good like always, but this time wearing his office clothes.

He looks like he ran a marathon to get here and keeps running his hand through hair, a nervous tick of his.

I can't hear what they are saying despite being less than two meters away so I silently edge closer to the door, straining my ears to hear Four say, "I don't know if I do love her yet but this is definitely more than just attraction."

Please review and let me know what you think.
