| TRIS POV |

I sit on my couch in my small condo with my books sprayed out on the coffee table. I hear my door open behind me. I see Tobias walking in with an open black backpack slinging off one of his shoulder. In his hand he is holding my spare key which I gave him when we both each other our keys.

"Hey," he says flirtatiously with a charming smile.

"Hey, how was your day?" I ask from the couch.

"Good, yours?" he asks

"Meh, it was alright,"

"Yeah well, it going to be spectacular now," he says with his low voice he uses when he is turned on.

His mouth engulfs mine; he climbs on top of me, on the couch. His hands start to go under my shirt, I pull back.

"Uh-." I'm cut off by him taking his shirt off.

I stop and stare shamelessly at his perfectly toned body. I bite my lip as he flashes me a cocky grin and a raised eyebrow. He continues to kiss me.

"Tris, uh, um, okay, I'll leave-" Matthew stutters

Tobias looks up from the couch and sees Matthew.

"Why is he here," he asks confused.

I push him off me and sit up trying to fix myself up.

"I told you, he's tutoring me and I was going to tell you but you were being a horndog," I say

"I thought he was tutoring you on Monday's and Wednesday's," Tobias asks

"I had to change to Tuesday because on Wednesday I had fencing training," Matthew buts in.

Tobias places back on his shirt, totally noticing that Matthew is hard-core staring at his muscular upper torso.

"I'll make some dinner, you guys can continue," Tobias says before standing up and walking around the corner to the kitchen.

"Yeah sorry about him," I say to Matthew

"Uh, it's alright." he says with some shock into his voice.

"Okay, can you explain question 6." I ask

"Have you told Zeke?" Matthew asks out of the blue

"Excuse me." I respond slightly offended

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that um."

Matthew begins to explain the question

"I haven't." I say "You deserve to know that, seeing as you did get a punch from Zeke for kissing me."

Matthew blushes and looks down. He awkwardly laughs.

"But I really should tell him before he founds out a different way and goes crazy." I say

I sigh "Anyway, times up, I probably shouldn't bother you any longer."

"Yeah." Matthew says quietly

I stand up as he packs his books up. I walk to the door and give him a hug. I see Tobias walking from around the corner in a cute pink apron that is too small for him. Matthew hugs me longer than acceptable.

"Yo Matthew!" Tobias's voice projects.

Matthew literally flinches and throws himself off me. "Uh, yeah?"

"Sorry about before when I interrupted your study session." Tobias bullshits.

"It's fine, uh bye," Matthew says before leaving my condo.

I close the door and turn around to see Tobias with a goofy grin on his face.

"I guess I'm seeing you at Uriah's birthday party tomorrow night," Tobias says

I hum a yes

"What?" Tobias asks

"Why did you scare the poor guy?" I ask

"He hugged you for like a solid minute," Tobias defends "I already told you that I am not comfortable with him tutoring you."

"He's a good guy, he tutoring me for free."

"Because he is falling hard for you." Tobias says "For God's sake, he literally kissed you."

"But I don't like him!" I say "I love you."

"I know, I know but I am still not comfortable that he is tutoring you."

"Then, I'm not comfortable with you hanging out with Lauren."

"What?" Tobias exclaims "She's a friend."

"And so is Matthew." I huff as I stomp off.

I walk up to my bedroom and slam the door shut. A few minutes later I hear my front door shut. I creep out of my room and find a quiche.

I just annoys me how much Tobias and I are arguing lately. I mean I try not to argue with him obviously but I mean it's not like I not going to stand out for myself and my opinions.

I am an independent woman.

I sigh as I slump down onto my chair and eat the quiche he made. I look at the quiche and it looks familiar. I grab my cooking book I needed to buy to teach myself how to cook, I turn to a page, Bacon Quiche. On it was a stick note with a smiley face.

I slowly eat my dinner before going to study.

My phone dings about two hours into studying. I have look at my phone.

Hey Tris! It's Cara from the coffee shop. Are you able to head down tomorrow to do some trails?

Ahh shit I just realised that I also applied for other jobs.

Sorry Cara! I already received a job from somewhere else and I think two part-time jobs would be too much for me

Oh okay, that's fine, I hope to see you again.

| NEXT DAY |

I wake up and check my phone. I have no messages from Tobias

What a stubborn asshole

I do my normal morning routine before I place a white t-shirt and some black ripped jeans. I get my Herschel Backpack and fill it up with my books. I go in fresh faced with my glasses. Today is one of my bad days where my eyesight is worse than normal. I hate wearing my glasses, they remind me so much of high school. I drive to school and park a few blocks down because of how full the carparks normally are.

I walk to school with my shoulders slumped and me looking to the ground. I hear someone whistle. I give them a 'fuck off' look. I start to walk to my lecture room. I hear a familiar laugh. Tobias.

I crane my neck to find him. I see him decked out in his football gear talking to another brunette. Holy fuck. How girls like him?

"Tris!" I hear another voice say.

I look and spot Matthew waving a hand at me from behind Tobias. I walk past Tobias not making any eye contact. I feel his hand enlace into mine. I mentally roll my eyes.

"Babe!" Tobias exclaims. He leans into kiss me on the lips, I turn my head so he ends up kissing my cheek.

"This is Juanita, she did a few modelling gigs with me," Tobias introduces the brunette.

"Please call me Nita," Nita says (Nita looks like Miranda Kerr)

"Tris," I say.

I see Matthew run up.

"Hey Tris," he says "We have 2 minutes till the lecture start,"

"Well, I've got to get going," I say giving them a blank face before walking off.

"Thanks for saving me there," I say to Matthew

"Yeah, I saw you looked a little uncomfortable," he says "We have about ten minutes until the lecture starts,"

"Thank you Matthew," I say

There a was small silence.

"Hey, do you want to come to my brother birthday party?" I ask

"You-you mean Uriah's birthday bash?" he stutters

"Yeah,"

"I don't really belong there," he says

"Come on, what do you mean?" I say

"Well you see, I shouldn't even be talking to you, it breaks the unwritten rules of social status," Matthew says "I'm a nerd, you're a pretty girl, your boyfriend is the school's football star and your brothers are jocks,"

"Well, you're a pretty attractive 'nerd'," I admit

Matthew looks at me with a slight flush. His hand goes to stroke my cheek.

"Remember I have a boyfriend," I say as his hand quickly snaps back.

"Come on, come to the party, you can pick me up at my place and we can go together," I say "We'll have fun!"

"Okay," he says "If you insist,"

I let out a small chuckle before we head to class.

I had three lectures in a row before I headed back to my apartment to get ready for Uriah's birthday party. I wore a nude crop top with a matching nude midi bodycon skirt. The outfit accentuated my small curves. I put on some nude heels and let my hair out. I put on some glam makeup before grabbing blush fur jacket.

I hear a small knock and I open the door. It was Matthew. He was wearing a white shirt with some black pants.
"You-you look absolutely jaw-droppingly stunning," Matthew says

"Some would think you would be my boyfriend," I tease "You cleaned up nicely yourself,"

I head down to his polished black Audi a3.

I whistle "What a nice car,"

"Parents gift," he explains.

I swing into his car. I press the button for the roof to fold up.

I pump up the radio. I look at Matthew who is driving. He's smiling and shaking his head.

Kamikaze by MØ plays and I start to sing and bob my head.

I nudge Matthew to get into it. After a little bit convincing he starts to bob his head in time with me. We roll up to the party.

"Come on," I say dragging him into the party.

We enter through the door.

"TRISSSSSSS," Uriah shouts "Matthew, is it?"

Matthew give him a firm nod.

"Welcome,"

I drag Matthew into the middle of the dance floor and grab two beers.

I throw my hands in the air and sway my body. I encourage Matthew to dance with me.

"Come on, let loose," I say

He shows me is perfectly white teeth before placing his hands on my hips and swaying with me.

"Tris?" I hear a feminine voice say

"Oh Lauren!" I say

"Can I steal him?" she asks

"Sure," I say surprised, I thought she had a crush on Tobias.

"Matthew, this is Lauren, Lauren this is Matthew," I say "Have fun,"

I dig my way out of the party near the bar. I spot Nita whispering into the Tobias's ear. He starts to laugh. Nita's hand is gripping onto his solid bicep and her other hand is on his chest. Tobias spots me. He untangles himself from Nita and excuses himself.

"Baby, I'm sorry about Matthew," he says as he stands in front of me "I'm just not keen on another guy touching and kissing you,"

He nudges my neck.

I smirk grows. "You were jealous,"

"No I-," he gives up "You know what, yes I was jealous,"

"Tobias, you know I love you and only you," I say holding his gorgeous face in my hand.

"And to be fair I was getting a little jealous of Lauren and Nita," I say looking down a bit and biting my lip. I lean in to kiss him.

"No Zeke's here, maybe later at my place," he says.

Uriah walks over.

"How are the love birds," he asks

I roll my eyes.

"Uriah come with me,"

I give Tobias a confused look too.

We follow him outside.

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT" Uriah screeches.

Outside was a custom matte black Audi r8 with a large red bow on the top.

"Happy Birthday," Tobias says.

"I love you man, I love you so fucking much, holy shit," Uriah screams. He gives Tobias a large and rough hug before running to his new car. Tobias tosses him the keys and Uriah revs the engine.

Uriah turns it off.

"EVERYONE OUT APART FROM MY FRIENDS AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE," Uriah shouts.

I hear people groan as they file out. I see Matthew start to walk out. I grab him.

"You're staying,"

"Okay," he says

We are left with a circle with Matthew, Lauren, Nita, Uriah, Zeke, Marlene, Shauna, Tobias and I.

"We're playing strip truth or dare, pretty self-explanatory," Uriah says "I'm the birthday boy, I start,"

"Zeke, truth or dare?"

"Dare, duh,"

"I dare you to lick my armpit," Uriah says with a cheeky smile

"Fuck no!" Zeke exclaims "You shower like once a fortnight,"

Zeke takes his shirt off.

"Four, truth or dare,"

"Truth," he says

"Who is that blonde that you slept with,"

Tobias rolls his eyes and takes his shirt off. I see Nita eyeing him down.

"Marlene, truth or dare,"

"Truth"

"Have you ever faked an orgasm with Uriah?"
Marlene blushes and looks down. She takes her shirt off.

"WHAT!" Uriah says, "You said I was a sex god,"

I burst out laughing at the thought of Uriah being called a sex god.

"I wasn't in the mood and you wouldn't shut up, so I thought if we just did it, you would stop nagging me," she confesses.

Uriah huffs

"Tris, truth or dare,"

"Dare," I say

"I dare you to kiss Four,"

I decide against it as it would be a little obvious. I swiftly take my shirt off. I see Tobias ogling at me. I also see Matthew take a slight glance at me before looking at the floor.

"Zeke, truth or dare,"

"Dare,"

"I dare you to give Marlene a strip tease,"

"Marlene? Why not my bloody girlfriend at least," Zeke exclaims

"Hey, why my girlfriend," Uriah complains

I just shrug my shoulders.

Zeke takes his shirt off. What a pansycake. But he does it in a weird way. Oh, shit he's actually doing it.

I look away not wanting to see my brother striptease. I lean into Tobias's shoulder to conceal my eyes.

I hear him say done and I open my eyes.

"Nita, truth or dare,"

"Dare,"

"I dare you to kiss Four," OH fuck no. He is mine

I see Nita move towards him and kiss him. Her hands are gripping onto his hair. But what hurts is Tobias kissing back. What the fuck

I feel Uriah looking in my direction and I just shake my head.

"Okay, ew, that's enough," Uriah says thankfully, stopping them.

Tobias looks at me and takes my hand. He enlaces his fingers in mine but I quickly take my hand back, not ever glancing at him.

"Matthew, truth or dare," Matthew lifts his head at the sound of his name.

"Uh, um, dare?" he says more like question.

"I dare you give Tris a strip tease," Nita says smugly.

What a skank, she even knows that Tobias and I are together.

Matthew blushes slightly before taking his shirt off as a forfeit.

He reveals his lean and freckly upper torso that has some visible ab lines. I can see Matthew is self-conscious as his shoulders are hunched forward and he has an arm in front of him trying to cover his bare body.

I hear Lauren wolf-whistle. I let a small woo, hoping it makes him feel more comfortable. I see him blushing.

"Tris," Matthew starts

"Dare," I say cutting him off

"I dare you to have seven minutes in heaven with Four," he says

I glance at Tobias. I'm currently mad at him and don't want to talk to him but I don't want to be loosing by having the least amount of clothes on.

"Come on buddy," I say as I grab Tobias's hand and lead him to a nearby closet.

Tobias immediately places his hands on my hips and lean in to kiss me.

"No, nup, I'm mad," I say leaning my head away.

"What? Babe," he moans as he nuzzles my neck and peppering kisses. His hand moves from my waist down to my butt.

"You fucking kissed Nita," I say "What the fuck?"

"It was just to reassure Zeke, that nothing is going on between us." Tobias says

"You sure looked like you enjoyed it," I say pushing him away and folding my arms.

He walks closer to me and leans down to whisper into my ear.

"Because I was thinking of you,"

"Sit," I say "We need to figure out how to tell Zeke before he finds out another way," I say

"I mean we could just confess," Tobias suggests

"No, no, no, he'd freak and then do something he'll regret," I answer "How about we like 'start' our relationship now,"

"Go on," Tobias says

"I'll say that I like you but I don't know if you like me back," I say "So it isn't such of a big blow and then when we announce we're dating he'll be expecting it,"

"But in the end, he'll find out eventually that we've already been dating for six months," Tobias points out.

"On the brighter note, I'm going home tomorrow for Thanksgiving and staying for the Christmas break, you should come," I say

"Oh yeah, I'm coming, Zeke and Uriah invited me again,"

"Again? But I didn't see you last year,"

"I spent the actual day with Evelyn, totally shit day," he groans

"That explains, I was partying every day except for the actual day,"

"TIMES UP LOVEBIRDS," Uriah shouts sliding open the door.

Everyone looks slightly disappointed at the fact that we didn't even kiss.

I fake yawn, "I'm tired, I'm going to head up and sleep in my room,"

"I should get going," Matthew says.

Lauren joins him. I give Matthew a hug before leaving to go upstairs with Tobias.

"Night babe," I say giving him a slight kiss before heading to my own room and sleeping in my own room.

Bang. I wake up at around 1am to the thunder and lightning. I groan. I turn to the other side and try get to sleep until I hear a thump downstairs. I don't worry as I'm probably just paranoid until I hear another bang and then the door open. I sit up and grab the large candle on my bedside table. I quietly shuffle down the stair and when I pass the kitchen I grab the knife. I notice the backyard door open. I do a swift turn with the knife in front of me. I see Tobias sitting in the chair, smoking.

"Tobias, what the fuck is this," I say pointing to that cancer stick.

"Calm down Tris, it's just weed," he says looking up at me with his bloodshot eyes.

"Stop," I say as I snatch it out of his hand "I'm going to break up with you if you smoke again,"

"I only smoke when I was to distract myself,"

"What's going on?"

"Dauntless called and they want me back, something about me being the best agent or some bullshit, they said the faction are starting to form again and they're trying to find some stupid chip that contains billions of money and confidential reports on the country spending, they want to assign me to the mission so they can return it back to the government."

"Well, are you going to do it?" I ask

"I don't know," he says truthfully.

"Come on, let's get you to bed." I say

He holds my hand as we walk up to his room. Tobias heads straight to his bar in his room and reaches for some whiskey.

"No," I say taking it away

"Please," he says pouting.

"No, put that lip away,"

Tobias leans in and kisses me, it was rough and hungry. His hands lace underneath my pyjama top and he kneads my bare breast.

"Tobias," I moan "What are you doing?"

"Please, I just this one time," he groans

"Tobi-,"

"Please," he cuts me off "Just this one time, I need you,"

"I-,"

"Please baby," he whispers into my ear causing an ache between my legs

"Okay," I say quietly.

Within a second Tobias lifts me onto the bar table. He strip all clothing away in seconds and plunges himself deep within me as I try and muffle a scream.
