Amaya P.O.V
Four had stopped the simulation just in time. No Abnegation had been hurt throughout all of this and I was just happy that everyone I cared about and loved was alright. I hadn't spoken to Eric since he saved me from dying two weeks ago but I also hadn't seen him since. So, I wasn't avoiding him. He must have been avoiding me. I spent all my time either training to become stronger or with Tobias and his new girlfriend and her friends. I found that I actually got along with them. Even Peter had become less of a dick. But I could feel that something was missing. That someone was missing. I needed him in my life, even as just a friend I didn't care but there was something in my heart missing.
"Mya hurry up were leaving!" I heard Tris yell from my front door, we were going to a pub so that I could drown out my sorrows with alcohol. Even my brother was coming along, which was rare now that he and Tris, or Six as she started to be called, had both started in the control room alternating shifts.
"Please don't call me Mya anymore." I asked her as I walked out of my apartment and locked the door. She nodded before Tobias swung his arm around my neck.
"I can still call you Mya, though right?" he asked me.
"Maybe, well see. That's what he called me too so I kind of want to stop anything that is going to make me think about him."
"Ah so you lied to me the day before initiation I see." Tobias nudged me closer to him. I pushed him away from me before walking ahead and catching up with Christina and Will. They wouldn't tease me. Although I always feel like a third wheel around them.
I had lost everyone about two hours in and the only person I could find was Peter.
"Hey Amaya! I just wanted to apologise about how awful I was during initiation," he placed his hand on my shoulder, I nodded up at him as he pulled me closer. Over his shoulder I noticed a pair of grey blue eyes watching for afar, beer in hand sipping slowly. "I just hope there's no hard feelings?" Peter asked me.
"No Peter! Were good." I ended up sculling the last of my drink before placing the empty bottle on the closest table to me and Peter.
"Good, dance with me?" I giggled and took his hand as a faster song came on and I became the best stripper in the world.
Suddenly nothing else mattered, I didn't care that the man I loved was with someone else, I didn't care that I was a Dauntless leader becoming a stripper on a bar, and I also didn't care that the man I loved was watching me from afar as Peters hand made their way to my hips to help me off the bar and to dance with just him. He pulled me close and my hips swayed to the best of the song, causing Peter's to follow my lead. I could feel the glare being shot at us through the back of my head. He was close to exploding. The first time in weeks I had even seen Eric, and this is what I do? I was riling him up, I knew what I was doing, I was putting on an act to get a reaction out of Eric. I spun around I Peter's arms and planted a kiss to his lips. I felt him tense up but then he relaxed and his found my hips again before I pulled away and walked back over to the bar.
I ordered myself another drink before I felt a presence beside me.
"Put it on my tab too please, and the rest of her drinks for the night. Don't drink too much tonight." I felt his arm wrap around my waist.
"Aren't you dating someone Eric?" I still hadn't looked up at him instead going for my drink and downing half of it before I turned around to him.
"We broke up, now let me buy you drinks and then make sure you get home safely please." He pleaded with me as I pushed his arm off me and downed the rest of my drink ordering another one.
"Whatever Eric, just do it from a distance. Tonight was supposed to be about me forgetting about your stupid perfect blue eyes and that stupid smile that only I ever get to see, or about how Erudite you actually are for the toughest man in Dauntless!" I watched his shoulders slump in defeat before he walked off to his spot at the edge of the dance floor. I noticed Ange dancing with a random on the dancefloor, but Eric's eyes never left my body as I manoeuvred my way through the jumping bodies.
Maybe they had broken up because the next time I saw Ange she had her tongue down someone else's throat. I scrunched up my face before walking over to Eric.
"Look I'm sorry about before. Wanna dance with me?"
"I don't dance." He didn't look at me until I grabbed his large hand in my small one and started to drag him to the dancefloor with me. His hands found my waist, but he was gentle with me. I started to grind my hips against his as the atmosphere of the dancefloor us, suddenly I was Eric's personal stripper and he was loving it.
The next morning, I couldn't remember a damn thing from the night before as Tobias came to open my blinds and he handed me a mug of steaming hot strong coffee.
"Good morning sunshine. Good night last night?" he asked as he perched himself on the edge of my bed. I had no idea what he was talking about and refrained from kicking him off my bed.
"What did I do this time?" I held my head in my free hand as Tobias laughed out loud.
"Everyone saw you with Eric. Also, Eric brought you home before he came to get me." I groaned and flopped back on my bed.
"I can't remember anything Tobi, did I do anything with him?" I rubbed my sore head before there was a knock on my front door.
"I'll get it." I heard Tris say from my lounge room. I shot my brother a glare before there was a gentle tap on my door frame to my bedroom.
"I'll leave you two to it then." Tobias got up from my bed and Eric replaced it.
"You don't remember anything to do you Mya?" I shook my head him and nearly finished my coffee.
"Did we…?" I asked gesturing between the two of us. He shook his head.
"I would never take advantage of you like that Mya, you mean too much to me, and I should have said something to you earlier, but I was afraid, you know me too well. Well you know about the Erudite part of me that still has a strong hold. Ange and I are no longer together, happened about a week ago. Because truthfully, I never loved her, I realised there was one person that I did love, and only that one person will forever hold my heart. And no matter what I will always be weak to her smile, and when I watched my father try to take that beautiful smile away from me, my whole world crumbled and that was when I knew I loved you. I love you Amaya Eaton. And I always will." I knelt up to him as he looked me in the eyes.
He wasn't going to back down from this. I knew he meant it. I could see it in his eyes. I felt his hand caress my neck as he pushed my hair over my shoulder. I melted at his touch and leaned up to his face where I rested a hand on his face feeling the stubble that was just barely there. His eyes fluttered closed and mine followed as he pulled me closer to him, his lips ghosted over mine gently before my hands laced into his hair at the base of his neck and pulled him closer crashing my lips against his. It's not like I had waited for this moment since I arrived at Dauntless or anything. But it felt so much better than it did in my dreams. He tasted faintly of coffee and mint with a slight air of cigarette smoke. I breathed in his scent as the kiss heated up. I gently pushed Eric away not wanting to go any further and loving every minute of this kiss.
"I love you too Eric Coulter."
It finally happened! OMG who was hanging out for this scene to happen?
