Chapter 3- The Interruptions

Tris

I slowly drift into consciousness after a much needed sleep. My entire body feels weak and exhausted. I don't know whether it is from the poison that was just in my system, or the fact that once again I have almost died. As I sit up, getting ready to being my slow climb out of bed, a warm hand grips my shoulder.

"Tris, where do you think you are going?" Tobias! I had completely forgotten he was here. I turn around so quickly I make myself dizzy.

"I was going to… I don't really know." As I stare into his eyes I realize something. "Tobias, do you realize this is the first time in months where I don't have anything to do? I don't have to get up for training, or an initiation fight, there is nothing to scheme about, and no evil people to kill. It's just…"

Tobias speaks the words before I can, "just you and me."

I can't help but embrace the warmth in my heart. This is all I have wanted. No more war, plotting, and bloodshed. There is nothing that matters except the beacon of perfection that happens to be lying in my bed. The thought triggers something in me, and I begin to feel heat rush to my face. The last time Tobias and I were alone together we… well we…

"Tris…Tris… what is it? You're all red. Do you need me to call the nurse?"

I suddenly snapped back to the present. "Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about things" I pull the covers back over me and cuddle closer to him. Taking is face in my hands I lean in, and as delicately as possible place a kiss on his waiting lips.

Feeling the already minute distance between our bodies is too grand, Tobias wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer. "I was thinking about that too. Being in this bed with you, all I can think about is that night" I could hear the smirk in his voice.

It all seems so silly now. How could I have ever been afraid to be intimate with him? I can't help being mad recalling all the time I have wasted because now, all I want is to give him all of me physically, mentally, and emotionally. Before he can even register what I am doing I shift so quickly. Straddling him, I claim his mouth as mine.

After a few moments Tobias breaks away. "God Tris, what's the rush?" I can tell by the look on his face, he is confused by my sudden outburst of affection, but I don't care. I pull his face back to mine, and continue where I left off. Tobias stops me again. "Tris stop! I just want to know what is going on. This isn't like you." Looking into his eyes, I know I owe him an expiation.

"Tobias, I have wasted so much time not trusting you, myself, or the love we have. I have been so cautious, and timid. I say I am brave, but when it comes to you I have been nothing other than weak. Now I just want to show you in every way I can that… that, I love you."

"Baby you have nothing to prove. I know you love me, and we can take this as slow as you need. I'm not trying to rush you into anything."

"You're not rushing me into anything." I place my hands on both sides of his head, lean down, and kiss him as passionately as I can. "Tris" Tobias says so softly I can barely hear

"I'm sorry; do you want me to stop?" I say as I kiss my way down his neck

"Hell no," and with that he shift so I am lying beneath him. Tobias kisses me like he never has before; with such ferocity my whole body tingles. I am ready; I am ready to give myself to him.

I am so consumed it takes me a moment to realize Tobias has stopped kissing me, and is now staring mouth wide open at the door. I finally look up, and see Uriah standing in the door way.

Yes, I my version Uriah isn't going to die :)
