Chapter 4
Finally after a surprisingly long week, it's friday. After school, Christina almost had to put me on a leash to keep me from running away from her. No, she did not have onion breath or anything. She wanted to go shopping and insists that I have to go with her. I let out a sigh as Christina parked her Mercedes.
"Don't give me that look Tris, loosen up and let the inner feminine side of you take over." she says in a soothing voice like a yoga instructor.
"Remind me why do I have to come again?" I asked her. "Well, I needed to go buy a pair of heels to go with these seriously cute dress I got last week, which I'm going to wear to Zeke's party. But then, I realized you're probably going to show up in some horrific combination of a casual top and jeans. So now you're coming with me so I can get you something gorgeous to wear," she told me, "preferably sexy too!" she added after a short pause.
I shot Christina a horrified look. "What?" she asked "Obviously you need to wear something a bit revealing for you know who!" she said while giving the wink. I put on a blank expression. "Oh for god's sake, Tobias!" Christina shouted, throwing her arms in the air then dragging me into the mall.
It was one of the biggest malls in the area, mainly for fashion and accessories items. I felt like we've stepped into a clothes heaven. Loud music blared out of the speakers as we hit a sea of giggly excited girls.
Christina maneuvered her way through the mall like she memorized the complete layout by heart. She bought all her stuff in less than half an hour and started throwing stashes of clothes at me to try on. After that, she examined each outfit and critiqued it like Heidi Klum on Project Runway.
After almost two hours, I stepped out of the changing room with a black denim corset dress that has a flowy floral bottom. Christina squealed with delight and signaled me to twirl. I groaned as I looked at myself in the mirror. "Oh my gosh Tris! You look amazing in this dress! It's dauntless with a touch of feminine, like you!"
Actually the dress looked pretty nice, I thought to myself. I wonder if Tobias would like it. Wait what?! I did not just think that, ugh!
In the end Christina matched the dress with black pumps and a clutch with a butterfly clasp on it. We got back into Christina's car and she drove me home.
The door bell rang early next morning. One of my parents must have opened the door because in the next moment, I see Christina standing on the end of my bed screaming for me to wake up. "Get out Christina!" I moaned and threw a pillow at her. "Wake up Tris! There's tons to do before Zeke's party! Hair, makeup, nails.. Come on!" she yells in return. "You do realize there's like 6 hours before the party right?" I told her. "Exactly Tris! We don't have all day, get up you lazy bum!" She said, then she grabbed my arm and yanked me upwards.
"First Tris, take this and go take a shower." she hands me a razor and shoves me into the bathroom. "Are you telling me to shave?" I asked holding the razor in horror. "Yes! Under your arms, your legs, you get it!" Christina replied. "Is this really necessary?" I asked. "Absolutely. I refuse the bring a hairy monster to the party." We argued like this another for 15 minutes and I gave up. After that, Christina painted my nails, applied my make up, and did my hair.
Finally, Christina decided we were both ready to go. She was wearing a red mini dress which showed off her curves perfectly.
By the time we got to Zeke's party, it has already started for a little while. Zeke grinned when he saw us. Beside him, Shauna's jaw dropped. "Tris in a dress? Zeke, hand me my phone! I need a picture of this." she demanded. I slapped Shauna's arm playfully. "Okay okay Tris. Still you both are lookin' good!" she said.
As we made our way through the crowd into the living room, Uriah popped out of nowhere and dragged Christina away to dance. Before she left, Christina promised she wouldn't be gone for long but knowing her, she'll probably be making out with Uriah in no time so I wouldn't be keeping my hopes up high.
I grabbed a beer off a counter and started drinking a bit. I usually can tolerate drinks. Suddenly, I saw Lynn and Marlene not far away form me, gesturing for me to join them. So I ditched my drink and went dancing with them. I guess it must have been the loud music or something, because my mind started to go a bit woozy. I tripped and before I could do anything I felt myself falling backwards. Then, a strong pair of arms caught me. To my surprise I was staring in those familiar blue eyes again.
"Are you okay there?" Tobias asked with a little smirk. "Yeah, I think so." I replied sheepishly. "You look really nice in a dress." he complimented. "Not bad yourself." I told him. We continued to exchange small talk until Zeke announced that they were going to play Truth and Dare.
Not everyone was interested in playing, only some people wanted to play. But Christina, Uriah, Lynn, Marlene and a few of my other friends decided to join in, so I turned to Tobias to ask whether he wanted to play too.
"Sure," he smiled, "Let's go." We shuffled through the crowd. I sat next to Christina and he sat next to Zeke. Uriah asked "Does anyone not know the rules? Basically, you an chose to do either a truth or dare, if you really can't do the one you pick, you have to take off an item of clothing." "That doesn't included accessories, shoes, socks and stuff like that." Zeke reminded in the group while Uriah nodded in agreement.
"Okay let's start." Zeke scanned the circle of people and grinned wickedly. "Christina, truth or dare?" Christina sat up in surprise but after a second of thought she replied, "Truth."
"Have you and Uriah done it yet?" A round of Ooos erupted from the crowd as they lean in to listen to Christina's answer. Christina looked over to Uriah and they both exchanged a quick look. "Yes, We have done it before." she stammered. What? They've done it already? Why haven't I heard about it? I shot Christina a look, but she grinned and gave a half-shrug in return.
"Okay, my turn." said Christina. "Tobias, truth or dare?" "Dare." he replied confidently. "7 minute in heaven with Tris in the closet over there." Christina said without a thought, which makes me suspicious she's been planning this all along. I glared at Christina while everyone looked back and forth between me and Tobias as if we've been dating secretly or something.
I looked over to Tobias and see that he's already stood up and gesturing me to follow him. I pretended to roll my eyes but I can feel my heart beat faster and faster and my legs wobble as I walk towards him. The closet closed behind me. It wasn't the most spacious closet in the world, I found myself squashed up next to Tobias.
What do I do now? I put on a brave smile and looked at Tobias. I took a deep breath, knowing Christina and some others and probably listening outside, I whispered "What should we-" but before I can finished my sentence. Tobias's lips came crashing down on mine.
My eyes widen in shock as I comprehend the sudden events. Tobias pulled me closer towards him and wrapped his arms around my waist. A wave of courage washed over me as I put my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. Without any warning, he slowly traced his fingers up my spine, pushing up my dress slightly. I shivered at his touch. Tobias let out a low chuckle as he continued gently ran his fingers along the sides of my dress and the top of my cleavage. I reached up to grab his hair while his soft lips trailed down my neck. I moaned uncontrollably in the ear.
Just when I thought I was at the state of pure bliss, Christina yelled, "7 minutes is up lovebirds!" and knocked on the closet door. Tobias and I sprang apart instantly and I quickly pulled down my dress and fixed my hair.
A few people wooted as we exited the closet.
The truth and dare continues next chapter..
