A/N: I'm not sure that my updates will be as frequent with assignments and all but I'll try. Love you all and a massive thank you for those who review. It makes me day.
| Tris POV |
I woke up convincing my self not to open my eyes. I tuned into the sounds around me; the birds singing their morning song before flapping away; the aeroplanes flying above and the occasional sound of a car from the road.
I remember last night. Tobias and I fell asleep at five in the morning after a whole night of fooling around. We did it on every inch of the house. The walls, the living room, the kitchen, the pool, the bedrooms, the bar, the car, the floor and the gym. It was one hell of a night, full of sexual fantasies, costumes, handcuffs and ropes.
A warm kiss on my neck distracted me from my thoughts. They were going lower and lower and lower before I turn around to see him.
"Good Morning," I gasp as he nibbles on my collarbone.
He kisses back up to my ear.
"So do you know where the key is to this handcuff," he whispers.
I let out a small giggle remembering last night.
I straddle his waist with him still lying down. I trail my finger from his glistening chest down to his abs, I lean over and place a kiss on his jaw, I trail his impeccable jawline with kisses, proceeding down to his neck. I place a lone kiss in the middle of his chest. I slowly move towards his ear and whisper
"Hmm, I don't know, you've been a bad" I walk my hands lower "bad," and lower "bad," and lower "boy,"
I hear the door close and my eyes widen as I look at Tobias on top of me.
"Tris, Four, I'm home," Zeke shouts from the front door.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck," I chant as I run out of Tobias room, stark naked, into my room. I toss on the robe on the floor and slide into my desk chair. I put my hair up and put on deodorant, trying to get rid of the smell of sex. I frantically move my mouse waking up my iMac. I place on my beats, not even listening to music and nod my head as I hear Zeke going up the stairs. I press the play button and it blasts hard punk music. What the fuck, I never listen to punk music. I flinch from the full volume music (screaming) in my ears. I slam the volume button lowering it and pretend to do something on a word document. I hear a knock on my door.
"Come in," I say
"Hey, just checking up on you, you didn't respond so I didn't know if you were out or anything,"
"Nup, finishing this up," I say having no idea which document this is.
"I wanted to talk to you about something," Zeke says closing the door behind him and sitting on my bed.
I stand "Matthew?"
"Yeah, what he said to me, it kept me up and I was really thinking, I just have one question, can you promise me that you'll answer me truthfully,"
I bite my lip and nod. He knows about Tobias and I.
"Am I really the overprotective?" he asks.
I let out a sigh "Yeah, its gets quite annoying,"
"Well, I promise that I will be…..less protective," he says more like a question.
I let out a small chuckle and roll my eyes.
"Oh and did Four have a girl over?" he asks
Fuck.
"Because I saw a bra hanging off the TV and a pair of lace underwear on the kitchen counter," he says.
"Now that you mention it," I lie "I did see a blonde girl sneaking out this morning"
"Niceeee," Zeke drags out before standing up.
"Oh and Tris, we're going to head out to Venice today and staying at Four's, you want to come?" he asks
"Yeah sure," I say before he leaves, making a beeline towards Tobias's room.
I put on peach coloured bikini and cover it with some distressed shorts and a striped tee. I toss a towel into my beach bag along with sun cream and water. I pick out my favourite sunnies and a clean outfit for the next day before walking out of my room. I smile to see Tobias at the end of the hallway. I wait for him to walk towards me before going down the stairs.
"So how did you get rid of the boner?" I ask
"I didn't, I hoped in the shower after I saw your cute little ass run out of my room," he say before giving my butt a pinch.
I yelp a little before swatting his hand away.
I look up at him and he gives me genuine smile with his ocean blue eyes glistening.
"You have nice eyes," I blurt out. Idiot
"Thank you?" he says more like a question.
"I mean it, it's like a sorrowing deep ocean with a sparkle,"
"You jelly?" he says completely ruining the kind-of-romantic moment.
"Totally,"
"To be fair, I like your eyes too," he says "they remind me of a storm, there is a fleck of yellow, the sun, the other dark rims, the storm and the rest of it, is the transition,"
We start to lean towards each other for a kiss but we hear foot steps.
"Okay, Uriah and I will take the Range Rover," Zeke says "You and Four can take the Porsche Macan,"
When did we get a Porsche Macan?
"It was Four's gift to Zeke," Uriah says reading my mind.
I look slowly turn my head to Tobias with a look.
Where did that money come from?
He shrugs his shoulders before getting in the blue Porsche.
The drive there was silent wandering if Tobias was some drug lord as a side job.
We got to the beach. I placed my towel and sneakily watch Tobias taking his shirt off. He turns his head, catching me staring. I smile, biting my lip.
I toss off my shirt and shorts revealing my peach pink bikini. I get the sunscreen out.
"Zeke can you put sunscream on my back?" I ask him, not Tobias.
"Get Four to help you or something, I'm going in," Zeke says running off with Uriah.
"Do you mind?" I ask.
Tobias encircles his muscular arms around my bare waist and places him chin of my shoulder.
"Of course not," he whispers in my ear.
After Tobias puts my sunscreen on we head down to the beach. I notice his tattoo. Obviously I've seen it before but I never actually thought about it. There were flames creeping from the sides onto his back. There were five symbols with the flames being the biggest. There was a small piece of writing on the top of his back saying "We believe in small acts of bravery". The flames crept up to the nape of his neck.
My thoughts are cut off with him turning around and scooping me up, throwing me over his shoulder and dumping me in the water.
"Dick," I shout at him before flicking water at him.
"Right now?" he teases "We're in public, you little horn dog,"
This causes me to flick more water at him.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry," he apologises and walks closer to me.
I place my arms on his shoulders and lean in.
"Tris, were in pub-,"
I push him underwater and run away.
I feel him grasp onto my ankle and bring me down too.
We stand back up. We hear Zeke shout out for us.
I hop on Tobias's back as he runs to Zeke as fast as he can, but with the water he's not too successful and he trips over sending back to the water.
We finally get to Zeke and Uriah.
"Volleyball?" Uriah asks us.
We all nod.
"Pedrad Twins verses the Pre K brothers?" Uriah says
"That's cringe worthy," I say
"I kind of like it," Zeke says shining with pride.
"Whatever, let's go,"
We ended the Volleyball game with the Pedrad Twins winning. Uriah and I give each other a high-five and a hug. We get back to Four's apartment….well penthouse. Ahhh filled with glorious memories.
"Yeah we don't have any groceries," Uriah says, checking the fridge before flopping onto the couch watching CSI with Zeke.
"I was planning on shopping when we got here," Tobias replies.
"Your apartment, your shopping," Zeke says
"Agreed," Uriah mentions.
"I was planning on going anyway," Tobias says "Tris?"
"Yeah I'll come, I don't really like CSI anyway," I say before leaving with him.
We take the lift down to the car park. I see a sky blue Koenigsegg Regera.
"Holy shit," I exclaim as I see the car. I run to go and touch it.
"I will sleep with any person that owns this car," I say, hugging the masterpiece.
"Luckily, you already are," Tobias says.
I look up at him.
"You-you own this car?" I ask
He nods.
"This car is worth a house," I exclaim "Are you like a drug lord as a side job or something?"
"No, my dad gave this to me for my 20th birthday, so I'd forgive him," he says
"Did you forgive him?" I ask
He shakes his head.
"What did he do?"
"No here, Tris, let's go for a walk," he sighs.
We get into the spontaneous Koenigsegg Regera and he drives out.
It was a silent drive and I didn't know where we were going. We finally arrive at some forest terrain which was restricted. The sign says Johnson Cooperation's. I get out and follow him.
"Where are we going?"
"I want to show you somewhere," he says unlocking the gate and letting me in.
He closes the gate behind and than I feel something warm around my hand. It shoots sparks throughout my body. I look and see he's holding my hand; I interlock our fingers.
It had been a five-minute silent walk on some bumpy terrain. I start to hear some water gushing. A waterfall.
We walk for a couple more minutes before arriving at a beautiful waterfall with a small lake with clear water. There is a log for us to sit on. I hear Tobias breath in and out.
"My father abused me and my mother when I was a child,"
I stop everything, my thinking, my breathing, my emotions.
"My mum's family was the CEO of a business cooperation and Marcus, my father, was the marketing manager of the business and my grandfather really liked him, my mum and him got married, Marcus took over the cooperation and than the money got to him,"
"He would drink countless bottles of expensive scotch daily and was easily agitated, my mum was begging him to stop, one night my mum threaten to leave him if he didn't stop, he lashed out and hit her, I could hear her screams and cries behind the locked door,"
"I remember I woke up one day and my mother was gone, she had run away without taking me, so Marcus put his frustration on me, beat me, locked me in closets, hung me from heights and told me my mother left because of me, for years until the police came and took him away and I saw my mother, I had just graduated from high school and she gave me her families company to me, I didn't want it, so I did what she did, I ran, I went to the army and was recruited as a Dauntless undercover agent before quitting last year,"
"But this woman ran away, leaving a six-year-old by himself exposed to this monster and didn't come back for years and suddenly gives a multi-million business to her 'son', anyway apparently I had no choice, so I receive the incomes even though I don't work for it, I don't want the money so I spend on things for others and donate it to charity, I haven't seen her for a couple months, normally she's the one the contacts me,"
I can feel hot tears streaming down my face, I quickly wipe them away but they just keep coming.
"Don't cry," Tobias says cupping my cheek.
"You shouldn't have to endure that, you're-you're so brave," I sulk
"Shhhh," he shushes me as he wipes my tears away.
I place a light kiss on his lips, not one of hunger but one of passion, one that should be allowed since we're only friends. With benefits.
"Come on let's go and get some groceries," he says smiling before make the trip back to his car.
The mood in the car had lightened as we listened to the radio with an occasional laugh.
"I don't look like I've been crying right?" I ask
"No, you look as tough as nails," Tobias says before kissing me on the cheek.
We get out of the car and start to shop.
"Tris?" I hear a familiar voice. Kashani.
"Fuck," I say
"What," Tobias asks
"You know the girl that's calling my name," he nods "ummm, I kind of, maybe had a fling with her, it was a year ago,"
Tobias's eyes widen and his eyebrows raised.
"Oh, shut up, stop judging me, it was one of those, finding my sexuality one-time thing," I say
"Oh I'm not judging you, I'm aroused," he says gruffly into my ears.
"Beware, she's quite touch,"
"Tris!," Kashani says.
"Kashi!" I exclaim with fake joy "How have you been?"
"Good, good, still waiting for your call," she says with a flirtatious look on her face.
"Um, yeah about that, you know our…thing was an experimental…thing," I say awkwardly.
"Oh yes, I know, I just thought you'd come back for more after that," she asks
"Uh no not really," I shake my head.
"Oh bummer, any who, who is this stunner," Kashi says looking at Four.
"Um," I panic "my boyfriend, Four,"
He looks at me and I give him a pleading look.
Argh fuck. I owe him,
"So you're straight and taken," Kashi says
"Who's straight and taken?" I hear a new voice say. Matthew
"Oh Tris this is my brother, Matthew," Kashi says.
I look at Matthew's black eye and bruised cheekbone.
"Matthew, I'm sorry about Zeke," I say
"No, it's fine," he says only looking a Four, cowering a bit.
"So you and Four a thing?" he asks
I don't say anything.
"Yes silly, she's the one that's straight and taken," Kashi gushes.
"Oh okay," Matthew says quietly.
"Well, we got to get going, right?" I ask Tobias
"Yep," Tobias says
"Great catching up with you two," I lie before speed walking away.
FUCK.
