Ch.10 Tris Pov
Going home was a little hectic. Everyone was on overprotective mode and were treating me as if I was dying which I am 100% positive I am not. My brother was ready to wrap me 5 million times in bubble wrap and walk me home because being in a car was "too dangerous". Plus all the questions people kept throwing at me were very repetitive and I have pretty much had it with everyone. My parents were going to get me a personal nurse but I dismissed that idea immediately. I am more than capable of taking care of myself and plus I have Christina and Tobias. Tobias was even driving me a little insane. He would be no less than 5 feet away from me at all times asking me the occasional "how are you feeling". And when I say occasional, I mean every 5 minutes. Zeke, Uriah and Shauna took Tobias home after I got settled in mine. I honestly wish he would stay in my guest room, but didn't want to make him feel like he had to do I never asked him even though that would make me feel better about his wellbeing. I'm worried about him. He should be resting and healing, but I can tell that he doesn't like sitting around and doing nothing all day. His boss, Amar, gave him 2 full weeks off of work and would've given him more, but as stubborn as he is, he wouldn't allow it. I just want to be able to take care of him, but I can't do that when he's 15 minutes away. My parents had to reluctantly leave because my dad has an important meeting tomorrow morning, but they didn't leave without knowing Caleb would be here for a day to take care of me and Christina would be my nurse. I promised them I was fine and they eventually made their way out the door. The medication for pain makes me really drowsy and even though it's 4 pm on a Saturday I decide to curl up in bed and take a nap because I really can't keep my eyes open any longer. But not before taking a shower to wash the hospital smell off me and slipping Tobias' sweatshirt over my head. He smells so good.
I hear a soft knock on my door which wakes me up.
"Tris?" Caleb says walking peeking his head into my room. He comes in and sits on the foot of my bed.
"Sorry for waking you, Mom told me to check on you every couple hours." He says apologetically as I stretch my arms above my head.
"It's fine, what time is it?"
"623. So many people were calling you and I didn't want to disturb you so I told them you would call you later." He says handing me my phone.
"Thank you. How's Susan?" He tries so hard to keep any emotion off his face so something must be going on that he's not telling me.
"She's great. She really wanted to be here for you, but she just couldn't take the time off. Jeff said he was going to come down too, he's moving into his new apartment soon." I look at him and narrow my eyes.
"What aren't you telling me?"
"Why do you have to be so good at reading people?"
"You're not answering me."
"Fine, you can't tell our parents or anyone for that matter yet, okay?" And I nod and roll my eyes.
"We're engaged." He says with a grin that could split his face in half.
"C! That's great! OMG this is awesome, I'm so happy for you two!" I say sitting up and hugging me tightly.
"We were going to have a family dinner this weekend and tell everyone, but then.." And he trails off.
"I'm sorry I ruined your engagement announcement." I say frowning.
"Hey, stop that. It's really okay, we just have to reschedule. You didn't put yourself in a coma so it's not your fault. I'm just glad you're okay Bea." He gives me a sad smile and hugs me tight for a moment.
"Now you and Jeff have to get engaged and we will be the perfect family." He says jokingly and I shove him away.
"Caleb, you know that will never happen."
"I know, but a brother can dream." He sighs dramatically and gets up to walk out my room.
"Plus you have a different boytoy anyway so I guess some dreams you have to give up. What's his name again? Three?" He tries so hard not to laugh.
"Get out!" I yell and throw a pillow at him, but it misses because he shuts the door and I hear him let out a full on laugh. What an idiot.
I decide to call some people on my balcony because right now it's not raining, but it looks like it will soon. I plop down in my chair and check through my recent calls. 128 calls?! Looks like I'll be busy for a while.
An hour later and I have called everyone from old professors to family and now I'm onto friends because I know I'll talk to them the longest. I called Al finally and he said he's still in Colorado, but Will called him and he will visit as soon as he comes back. He asked me about "this Four dick" and I told him not to judge before he meets the guy. He said he had to go and hung up. I called Jeff, but it went straight to voicemail so I left him a message. I talked to Uriah, Marlene, Shauna, Zeke and now last, but not least Tobias. I find his name and press call.
"Hmm, I don't know if I like that you called me last out of everyone." His smooth, manly voice flows over the speaker.
"If you knew my reasoning you would like it."
"Oh? Well then what's your reasoning?"
"Well, say, hypothetically, if you wanted to have phone sex with someone, would you want to call one of your friends right after?" I hear him take a sharp breath and then he starts a coughing fit. I hear him walking up some stairs.
"Jesus fuck Tris, next time warn me so I can go to my room before everyone sees my... Well.." And I laugh a little bit.
"How are you feeling?"
"Well if I could be with you I would be 100%."
"Tobias, you just saw me like a couple hours ago."
"Babe, if I could be with you every second of everyday I would."
"I know what you mean. You can come over if you want." I say in a shy voice.
"I can't drive a vehicle until I'm off the pain medication so Zeke or someone will have to bring me and they will want to stay too."
"That's fine."
"Are you sure, shouldn't you be resting?"
"I just took a nap and I want to see everyone, especially you."
"Alright, but promise you'll tell me if it gets too much and you want us to leave okay?"
"Tobias I'll be fine..."
"Just promise?"
"I promise."
"Okay babe, I'll see you in 20."
"Okay, bye." I say hanging up and grinning from ear to ear. He makes me feel like a giddy teenager. I go back inside and go to my bathroom to refresh and oh god did I need it. I splash some water on my face and brush my teeth, but decide against makeup. Next onto my hair which happens to be all over the place. I run a comb through it and throw it up in a messy bun. I head out of the bathroom and into my closet. I decide on a plain white t-shirt with a pocket and ripped boyfriend jeans and wrap a flannel around my waist just in case I get cold. Then I remember I should probably tell the others in the house that people are coming so I head out of my room and see Christina sitting on a stool and Will and Caleb standing opposite her with takeout on the island.
"Hey guys, some people are coming to visit in like 5 minutes. I hope that's okay?" I say sitting next to Christina on one of the stools as she gives me a one armed hug.
"Oh great this place was starting to get boring." Will says jokingly. Christina flings a noodle at him, but she's never been too good at sporty type stuff so it misses him by a couple feet.
"Who's coming?" She asks.
"Four, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, and maybe Marlene. I think you met them all last week at the graduation Caleb." He just nods and takes a swig of his beer. He's still not entirely comfortable with Tobias yet which is probably because he hasn't had a lot of time to get to know him, but I'm sure he'll warm up.
The doorbell rings when we're all talking in the living room except Caleb who went in his room to take a call with Susan. Will goes running down the stairs to answer the door. He knew all of them from previous parties so he has become pretty good friends with them, especially since Al has been gone for a while now. I hear them coming up the stairs and get really excited thinking about seeing Tobias even though I saw him this morning. Just then Caleb comes back in the room and hands me his phone saying Susan wants to talk to me. I reluctantly take the phone.
"Hi Susan."
"Oh my god how are you? I'm so sorry I can't be down there right now."
"Oh it's fine, people shouldn't drop what they're doing to see little old me. I'm alright." I say as I watch everyone come up the stairs and greet everyone. I watch very closely as Caleb shakes Tobias' hand and even though he's a couple inches shorter, you can tell Caleb is trying to intimidate him. Tobias glances over to me and I give him a smile.
"What are the extent of your injuries?"
"Well, I had a small brain bleed so I'm on lockdown for a couple weeks. I have a mild concussion and a broken nose so I have a nasty bruise across my face. Let's see, a shard of glass tore up my kidney so now I only have one aand that's it."
"You poor thing! If you need anything, just tell Caleb, you know how protective he is over you. I promise to visit as soon as I can."
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine! As much as I love seeing your beautiful face, I don't want you to miss anything because of me. By the way congrats on the engagement sis!"
"He told you! Eeek! I'm so excited! I've already started looking at locations and..." And I really try to pay attention saying a mhmm or two when necessary, but I get a little distracted by how well Tobias' jeans hug him. He has such a cute butt I just wanna squeeze it. And the tight shirt that hugs his muscles perfectly where you can see the definition, but it still gives you room for imagination. Oh boy don't even get me started about his arms or hands... He must sense me checking him out because he turns his head from his conversation with Caleb and looks at me. I look away from him, but I can tell he's walking over here
"...Anyway Tris it was good talking to you. I hope you feel better and I'll talk to you later. By the way I saw the pics you posted from graduation and you and your boyfriend are the cutest couple ever! Okay, I won't keep you longer so love ya"
"Thanks for checking in, talk to you later love ya too." I hang up and Tobias is laying down on the couch with his head in my lap.
"Hey babe." He says looking up at me with an adorable glint in his eye. I lean down and give him a kiss.
"Hi. Did ya miss me?" I tease.
"Believe it or not, I absolutely did." I smile at him because I missed him as well.
"How do you feel?"
"I'm fine babe, you don't need to worry about me."
"I'll always worry about you Tobias." I whisper. He gives me a small smile and buries his head in my stomach. He's turning me on and he isn't even trying to.
"Hey little lady." Uriah comes in and gives me a hug followed by everyone else and they all get situated.
"Do you guys remember getting hit?" Shauna asks. Well I guess we're getting straight to the point. Tobias sits up and I lean into him careful not to hurt his ribs. He wraps his arm without the cast on it around me.
"I remember screaming at Four to watch out and then him unbuckling his seatbelt which was a dumb move."
"I was just trying to protect you, which I didn't do well enough."
"You know Tris, the truck only hit your side so I'm guessing your injuries could've been more substantial if he didn't, well, you know." Zeke pipes up and I feel Tobias tense up next to me. I draw circles on his thigh to try and relax him, but I stay quiet.
"Okay enough about the accident, I think the Blackhawks are going all the way this season." Will says and everyone starts talking about hockey which is a good distraction.
A couple hours later and everyone is pretty much asleep watching the end of a horror movie. I told everyone they could stay here for the night because they all looked exhausted and even though it's a short drive I didn't want to take any risks. Plus I really don't mind their company. Christina and Will have already wandered into her room.
"Do you want to go in my room?" I whisper up to Tobias. He looks at me for a second before he yawns really big. I get up and go to Uri and Marlene who are cuddled on a recliner.
"You guys can go on the couch, I'll bring out some blankets and pillows." And they nod. Caleb is knocked out snoring on the other recliner and Shauna and Zeke are on the floor where they set up a cocoon of blankets so they look pretty comfy. I go into the guest room with Tobias following me and he helps me with the blankets and I get the pillows. I spread one over Caleb and hand the rest to Marlene and Uri. I grab Tobias' hand and lead him to my bedroom.
"The bathroom's in there if you need it." I say pointing to the door and he heads in. I go into my closet and change into his hoodie which is long enough so I can just wear panties. I head out of the closet and slide into my bed, checking my phone to see if I have any messages. Tobias comes out in his boxers and I drop my phone on my nightstand as I gape at his incredible body. You can also see his bulge and that's impressive considering he's just wearing boxers and not briefs. He just chuckles and climbs under the covers spooning me. His minty breath hits the back of my neck making a shiver run down my spine. His fingertips brush my bare lower thigh. He slowly runs them up stopping just below my hip, fiddling with the lace of my panties. He kisses my neck.
"You're beautiful." He whispers in my ear, gently biting my earlobe. His touch puts my senses on high alert and his words turn me on even further. I turn in his arms and kiss his lips running my fingers through his thick hair. His hand makes it's way to my butt, pulling me closer and deepening the kiss. I feel his massive erection grind into my core and we both let out a groan. His right hand snakes under my shirt and I am suddenly very aware that I am wearing no bra.
"We can stop anytime you want, just say the word." He says which gives me reassurance that he will not do anything that I don't want to do. But I want this, I want him and right now I want to push past my fear. I look into his eyes hopefully showing him how much I want him and kiss him hard. His hand continues to snake its way up my shirt until it reaches my breast. His thumb circles my erect nipple making me moan.
"You're so perfect baby." He whispers against my lips. Holy shit does this feel good. He moves to the other breast giving equal attention then his hand starts dragging down my stomach. His fingertips brush the inside of my thighs slowly creeping up. They brush over the lace covering my womanhood and I moan into his mouth. He rubs me gently over my panties, teasing me, until he slips his hand into them. His fingers slide up and down my slit.
"Fuck, you're so wet baby." He breathes against my neck. He slips a finger in and starts pumping slowly in and out. I really try to hold back a moan, remembering we have guests, until he slips another finger in and one slips out of my mouth so his lips move to mine again. His speed increases and his thumb brushes against my clit and I just about lose it then.
"Right there, right there." I moan and he applies more pressure and quickens the pace. The deep sensation in the pit of my stomach increasingly tightens the faster he goes.
"Oh fuck, Tobias!" I bite my lip trying to sustain the whimpers trying to escape my lips as I feel my climax rapidly approaching.
"Let go baby." He breathes in my ear and I cum hard on his fingers. I had to bury my face in his shoulder a little to make sure I didn't make too much noise. He kisses my neck trailing up until he reaches my mouth as I come down from my high. He slips his fingers out of me and I immediately miss their warmth. He rolls onto his back and puts his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him and I put a leg between his and a hand on his stomach.
"Wow." I manage to say when my breathing returns to normal. I look up to him to see that he's already looking at me.
"Wow good?"
"Definitely wow good." I say on a yawn and he smiles at me.
"Get some sleep baby." He says kissing me on the forehead. I snuggle into him more and drift off into a deep sleep.
When I wake up, Tobias is covering me like a blanket making it 1000 degrees hotter so I'm pretty much sweating. I look up and see Tobias' very sexy face and messy hair. His body is literally on top of mine so I won't be able to snake my way out because I really have to go pee. I start kissing his neck and trail my lips down to his chest. I make my way to his face kissing his cheeks before lazily putting my lips on his. I feel him smile against my lips before kissing me harder and shifting his body so he's hovering over me. I'm almost about to lose myself in him when I remember the task at hand. I slip out of his grasp and run into the bathroom.
"Tease!" I hear him yell from the bed.
Tobias' Pov
I bury my face in her pillow breathing her in. She smells so good, it's like a drug and I don't mind getting addicted. I'm lying on my stomach which surprisingly doesn't hurt my ribs as much as I thought it would. Thank fuck they are healing fast, I don't think I would be able to take any more of this not doing anything shit. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to the gym and work sometime next week. I hear the bathroom door open and peek out from the pillow. She looks at me and smirks before walking into her closet while pulling off my hoodie. I get a glimpse of her toned, naked back. My eyes take over the subtle swell of her hips making her femininity accentuated to an incredibly sexy level. I finally get down to her pert ass which is half covered by this cheeky sensual lace, but don't get enough time to appreciate it because she disappears in her closet. I audibly groan and I hear her laugh.
"Babe my brother is going to be leaving soon so you might wanna get dressed unless you want him to see you half naked. With that sexy back tattoo." She mutters the last part probably thinking I didn't hear it, but I heard every word. I really try to answer her, but I'm speechless because she left the door a little open and I can see her changing in the mirror in her closet. I really have to tear my eyes away when pulls her panties down. I turn my phone on to try and distract myself and see that it's 1030. Holy shit I never sleep this late.
"I think I'd rather stay in here and let you check out my sexy back tattoo." She comes back in the room looking cute as hell with a camo shirt and some dark skinny jeans rolled up on her ankles. She climbs on my back kissing the symbols as she goes. Fuck is she turning me on.
"What do they mean?" She whispers in my ear wrapping her arms around my neck. I stay quiet for a minute, trying to figure out how I want to formulate my sentence and she waits patiently giving me kisses every so often. Focus Tobias.
"They remind me about what I strive to be, everything that my father isn't. I want to be brave, selfless, honest, intelligent, and kind." She stays silent for a little while, holding onto me and I welcome her warmth.
"I think that's incredible." She whispers softly.
"Really?"
"Really." I roll over and face her. She kisses my nose.
"Do you want some fresh clothes, I'm pretty sure Will has some that will fit you in Christina's room."
"I'm fine, I'll just wear my shit from last night." I say sitting up and stretching. She kisses my shoulder and crawls over to sit next to me.
"You sure?"
"Yah, I'm sure. Go to your brother I'll be out in a minute." I say kissing her quickly on the lips because if I do anything else I will not be able to stop and I don't want to take her away from her brother. She heads out of the room and I take a minute to calm myself down. I'm falling for this girl hard and fast and it kinda scares the shit out of me. Or maybe I already fell in love with Tris, but how would I know? I've never had a girlfriend so I really don't know what the hell I'm doing, but I guess I'm doing pretty well considering she's still with me. What's freaking me out a little is that I don't know where she's at or how she feels and I really don't want to push her or scare her off so for now I'll just keep it to myself. I go into the bathroom and splash some water on my face and put my clothes on and head out of her room.
Apparently everyone left already to get breakfast at ihop or something so it's just me Tris and Caleb.
"Do you guys want to go to a coffee shop and then I'll get back to my lovely fiancé." Tris' eyes pop open so I'm guessing he wasn't supposed to tell anyone, but she doesn't look too surprised so I bet he already told her.
"You're getting married?" He nods his head. "Congratulations man. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." I say shaking his hand and patting him on the back. I think he likes me better since we talked for a while last night. I never used to have to do all this socializing shit. I didn't care what people thought of me and now I actually enjoy talking to Tris' family. It doesn't take a lot of effort to be nice to them because they are genuinely good people. It's not that I was mean before, it's just I wasn't very good at socializing and most people just pissed me off so I didn't have a reason to talk to them.
"Okay so we can go in my car and then I can drop you guys back off."
"We can just walk back or take a cab. The cafe is on the way to the highway you need to take to get back to Michigan so I don't want you to back track."
"I don't want you to walk, I'll just drive you guys back."
"You don't have to waste gas on us, Caleb we'll be fine."
"I'm not letting the two people that recently got hit by a truck to walk home."
"I can just text Zeke to pick us up its no big deal." I pipe in not wanting them to argue about a stupid disagreement.
"Works for me. Look at you Four. Who knew you could be such a compromiser. You picked a good one sis." He says chuckling as he makes his way down the stairs. I wrap my arms around Tris' waist.
"We can walk back if you want." I whisper in her ear and she grins at me.
"Risqué move tiger. Who knew you could be so naughty?" She says with a seductive smirk set on her face.
"Oh, I can't be very naughty." I murmur kissing my way up her neck. She lets out a shaky breathe and I know I'm turning her on already.
"Let's go before your brother gets suspicious." I kiss her cheek one last time and chuckle as she pouts a little bit.
"I'll be back in a minute." Tris says standing up from our corner table by the large windows and walking away.
"She loves you." Caleb starts off and I just look at him not knowing what to say. "She thought she loved that Peter dick, but that was nowhere near love. This time you can actually see it in her eyes and it's just pretty obvious. You can see how happy she is when she's with you and I don't want to get sappy and shit, but I like you man. As long as you keep her happy I will like you, but the minute you fuck around I swear I will kill you. Now I'm guessing you wouldn't want that to happen, I wouldn't either, but my little sister deserves a real man who will treat her like she's the most precious thing on the earth, which she is. And I see in the way that you look at her that you already do, but if anything changes I'm going to fucking rip your head off, do you understand?" He says in a deadly low voice which is actually pretty intimidating. I look him dead in the eyes and shake his hand and pull him in.
"It's a good thing you won't have to worry about that." I say in his ear. He gives me a slap on the back and a firm nod as Tris comes back.
"Everything okay?" She says looking from Caleb to me and I look towards Caleb.
"Everything's great." He says and I smile at her.
"Okaay... Well are you guys ready?"
"Yeah Zeke should be here any minute so Caleb you can go if you want." We walk out of the cafe and Caleb and Tris hug and he whispers something in her ear which makes her grin. He shakes my hand next.
"Alright I'll see you guys sometime. If you need anything, call me. Get better, rest up, don't do anything stupid. I love you Bea." He says before taking off in his car. I put my good arm around Tris shoulders and kiss her forehead before starting our mile walk back to her apartment.
"My whole family is in love with you." She says smiling at me.
"Only because I'm so charming." I say jokingly and she just shakes her head with a small smile playing at her lips.
"You say it jokingly, but you don't realize that you are absolutely true. Anyway, did my brother strike fear into your heart?"
"Yes I almost pissed myself from fear." I say rolling my eyes and she laughs.
"Did you know that sometimes you have a little hint of an English accent?"
"Well I did live in the UK for a while." She looks at me a little shocked and curious so I continue.
"As you know my mom died when I was nine and Marcus is a businessman so he travels so much and didn't want to take me with him because I was too much of a burden. My grandfather lived in the UK so he shipped me there for another 9 years of my life until I turned 18 then I came back to live with Zeke. The Pedrad's would visit me once a year, but it still sucks being pulled away from basically your brothers. I would have stayed with them, but technically they couldn't be legal guardians without having to go to court and Marcus thought they were a bad influence anyway. I picked up a British accent, but now it's kind of hidden. No one has ever mentioned it so I thought it had totally gone away, but I guess not."
"I think it's sexy."
"Oh really?" I say using a full on accent and she giggles.
"Wanna play the question game?"
"Sure."
"What is your favorite color?"
"Dark blue or black how about you?"
"Mine's light blue or gray."
"What's your middle name?"
"Beatrice Kendall Prior how about you?"
"Tobias James Eaton."
"Birthday?"
"December 16, 1989, you?"
"September 18, 1992."
"Favorite song?"
"Well it changes quite frequently, but I'm going to say The Wolf by Mumford and Sons."
"Really?"
"What?"
"Nothing, I'm just happy you didn't say Taylor Swift."
"Just cause I didn't say her doesn't mean I don't like her. Honestly my taste in music is everywhere from The Rolling Stones to Drake." I chuckle a little bit at how adorable and perfect she is.
"What are you going to do about your truck?"
"Hopefully my insurance will pay for a new one, but they still haven't found the guy who hit us so I'll probably end up paying for half of it."
"What an asshole. I mean what kind of person almost kills two people and ups and leaves?"
"A person who has something to run from…"
"You aren't saying someone did this on purpose? Are you?"
"No babe, I'm just saying it seems a little suspicious." She stays quiet for a while, lost in thought. I've been thinking about this a lot as well. I just hope my thoughts are wrong.
A/N: What do you guys think? Did someone really crash into them on purpose or is Tobias overthinking it? Let me know what you guys think! Check my pinterest kenziepatt16! You guys are beautiful3
