Tris' Christmas

by Where Pigs Fly

Ahh... Christmas. It is a time of gift giving, and merry making, and joy. but for Tris, it is a day of disarray, confusion, and secrets, although, in the end - or middle rather - everything seems to go just fine... or decent enough.

6. Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Merry Christmas, Tris!

"Tobias!" I scream.

"Shh… we're going to the room," he says.

"Where's everybody?" I ask.

"Somewhere," he replies.

"They just left? We didn't even exchange gifts!"

"Calm down," he says. At that he drops me on the bed and lies next to me.

"What are we going to do?"

'Shhh…" he strokes my cheek with his thumb and stares at me.

"What?"

"I'm glad we're alone," he admits.

I kiss him, expecting that's what he wants. He's hiding something. I kiss him, playing along with his game. I kiss him, distracting myself from anything but Tobias.

He pulls back from the kiss and stares at me again. After a minute, he breaks the silence.

"You know I'm hiding something don't you?" he asks.

"What are you talking about?" I tease.

"Tris…"

"Yea, I know you're hiding something. I won't ask what it is though."

He sighs and gets up.

"Where you going?"

"I need to check something."

"Let me guess, you want me to stay here?"

"Yes, please."

I nod. I guess I'll just wait.
