| TRIS POV |

"Rise and shine kiddos," my brother Uriah, walks in "Oh ew, shit, seriously its seven in the morning and you guys still have enough energy to have sex in the morning, ugh, I'm leaving,"

"Knock on the door next time," Tobias shouts.

"He's such a diva," I pant as I collapse beside Tobias.

I feel him engulf me in his arms.

"I love you, you know?" he asks

"I do, and I love you too," I reply.

I feel him nuzzle my neck before kissing me on the cheek.

"Where are you going?" I ask childishly.

"To have a shower and head down, it's a little suspicious if we walk down at the same time and smell and look like sex," he replies, hopping into his shower. He doesn't even bother closing his bathroom door.

I sigh and sit up, not wanting to leave Tobias's familiar bed.

"Baby, I'm going to head to my room and have a shower, see you there," I say.

I put on my underwear and the button up shirt I had on last night. I bunch my hair up into a bun. I exit Tobias's room and I turn to see Zeke down the hallway.

"Tris?" Zeke asks

I panic, "Uh hi," I look, smell and glow like sex.

"What were you doing in Four's room," Zeke asks "Only wearing that?"

"These are my pyjamas!" I fake being offended "Are you calling me a slut?"

"No, no, no!" Zeke quickly responds falling for my act.

I huff.

"I want to know why you were in Four's room," Zeke says with a stricter tone than usual.

"Uh, um," I stumble "I had to return his, uh – jersey,"

"The game was like a month ago," Zeke points out

"Uh, yeah, I forgot to give it back,"

"Are you going to our next game, you haven't been to one in a while,"

"Uh, I'll have to see,"

"Okay, well you want to stay for breakfast?" Zeke offers "I'm going out to grab some takeaway for the guys,"

"Yeah sure," I smile

I speed walk the rest of the way to my room.

I have a speed ass shower and place on an oversized shirt and some Nike Pros.

I walk downstairs to see Uriah and Tobias on the couch.

"Hey, where's Zeke?" I ask

"He just left," Uriah says

I nod as I sit beside Tobias on the couch. He begins to nuzzle my neck. I instinctively tilt my head to the side. He places small open-mouth kisses along my neck. I let out a moan.

"Okay, ew, ew, ew," Uriah says abruptly standing up "I'm going, please not the couch, we sit on that,"

I don't respond to Uriah, instead I straddle Tobias and kiss him. Our lips move in sync, full of passion and lust. I sink down on his lap more, Tobias releases a groan.
"Careful there Pedrad," Tobias says with a lower voice than usual.

"Hmmmm, being careful is not my best," I say seductively as I start to take of his belt.

I feel his hand creep up to my bra clip.

"Hey, hey, hey, we're on the couch, I only do oral on the couch," I say slapping his hand away from the back of my shirt.

"I'm fine with either," Tobias says unbuttoning his jeans.


Within minutes of Tobias and I finishing our moment, Zeke comes back with our food. He looks gloomier than usual.

"Hey what's wrong?" I ask

"Yeah, you look worse than usual," Tobias adds

"Just shut up," Zeke snaps

"Aye, aye, aye, calm down," Uriah adds

"You on your man period or something," I interrogate.

Zeke just looks at us and walks off.

"Gosh, he woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," Uriah gushes

Once I finish eating breakfast, I plan on stopping at the shooting range before I head off to my lecture.

"Yo baby, where you heading?" Four shouts, running toward me

"Shhh, Zeke still in the house," I exclaim

"Yeah about that, I really think we should tell him," Four says "Its better for us to tell him than him finding out, I mean we've been together for nearly six months,"

"Yeah, I guess, look can we talk about this later, I have to head home," I say "See you tonight at our shift?"

"Sure baby," Tobias says before giving me a peck on the lips and a grab of my ass.

I quickly get out of the house into my Porsche before heading to the shooting range. On the way I get a call from my dad.

Hi dad

Hey sweetie, you got a job yet?

Yeah, two actually

Really? What is it

Well I am a gym instructor and a barista.

I guess I promised you a car, what do you want?

Actually, keep the money, I really though about what you said and I-I think I'm going to start managing my spending's and pay for stuff myself.

Okay sweetie, but if you ever need help just call me, okay?

Yes, I know dad

You coming home next month with your brothers for Thanksgiving?

Of course, you know mums stuffing is irresistible.

Yes, it truly is, I love you baby, take care

Bye Dad

I arrive at the range after the call finished. I get to the front desk and find Amar.

"Hey Tris!" he says "You going to your shift tonight right?"

"Yes, yes, of course, first official day of work," I say

"Just to be clear, does Four know you shoot?" he asks

"Uhh, no, I was wondering if you could, well, you know keep it a secret," I say

"My mouth is shut," Amar says

"Here," I say handing him a fifty-dollar bill "For the next two hours,"

"No, no, my employees shoot free,"

"Are you sure?" I ask

"Yes," Amar reassures "Scurry along,"

I get in a inhale the familiar sent of smoke and metal. The feeling of a gun in my hand makes feel in control. It's not that I am a control freak. It's just I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.

I look at the target and focus before starting to shoot.

Hours later, I'm rushing into my lecture and I grab a seat next to Matthew.

"Hey Tris, you haven't been coming to the classes of like a week," he says

"Yeah, I've been busy, but I've been watching them online so I'm up to date, but I mean I'll never be as good as you," I say flashing him a smile.

"Well I am flatter, Tris Pedrad," he says

"Hey I was wondering about section five on book two, I didn't understand the criminal defence,"

"Oh yeah we covered that in class," Matthew says "It was talking about a strategic argument that attempts to challenge the validity and sufficiency of the prosecutions evidence,"

"Hol' up," I say "I am so confused,"

"It's really quite simple, the argument in on the defense side and …" Matthew rambles on.

Once he was finished talking what I was pretty sure gibberish I ask him something.
"Hey Matthew, uh, I was wondering if, this is embarrassing, if you would mind tutoring me," I ask

Matthew is silent for a second, "YES," he shouts "Sorry, uh I mean sure, yeah that's cool,"

I feel Matthew lean closer to me. His head enters the last layer of my bubble, a place where only Tobias has entered lately.

"Um, uh cool, hey look, I'll text you, I got to go to my shift where my boyfriend also works, see you later," I say

Matthew coughs "Yeah sure,"

I grab my bag was drive off to the gym. I change into my gym gear and I hear Tobias's familiar laugh.

I swear I feel my heart crack slightly as I see the cause of his laugh is a beautiful brunette.

I walk up.

"Hey baby," I say as I place a quick kiss on his lips

"Oh Tris, this is Lauren, she was apart of my high school group, she also did some modelling with me for a while," Tobias introduces her.

I look at this Lauren, who clearing is crushing on my Tobias, holding his bicep and all. But boy is she gorgeous. She has her wavy brunette hair up in a pony tail. She has these piercing jade eyes and perfectly pulp lips. She's got more of a curvy figure compared to me and is a solid three quarters of a head taller than me. (Imagine Taylor Hill)

"Hello, I'm Tris Pedrad," I say shaking her hand

"Your Zeke's sister?" she questions

"Yep,"

"Your dating Zeke's sister, wow," Lauren mentions "Well, I'm Lauren,"

"Well, I'm going to start the class," Tobias mentions

"You doing Four's boxing class?" Lauran asks "It's amazing,"

"Oh no, I instruct the aerobics class," I say partially bragging

"Maybe I should sign up someday," Lauren says

"Tris is a fantastic instructor," Tobias says "And a hot one too,"

"Says you Mr Hot Shot," I say

"Why do you think so many guys started aerobics," Tobias asks "I should just stand in the corner and death stare them all down,"

I roll my eyes.

"Bye babe, I love you," I say giving him a quick kiss

"I love you too, baby," he says.

I run off to my class.
