~Tris's POV~
After the shopping trip with Christina, I head home with a sliver lace matching set. I quickly run to my room once I get home. Not wanting Tobias to see it. I stuff it in my sock drawer, hoping Tobias has no reason to get into my socks.
"Tris?" I hear Tobias walk into the room. I slam the drawer shut and turn around to face him.
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing?"
"Uh, putting socks away…." I say, trying to keep my voice level.
"Fine, where'd you go?"
"To the mall with Christina, why?" I ask slowly.
"Because I missed you." He says, walking over to me. His flirtatious side is back. Great.
He comes up behind me and pulls all my hair over to the right side of my face. Then his mouth descends onto my neck. He pulls the sleeve to my loose shirt over my shoulder and starts kissing the bare skin revealed.
This….this is getting weird. 'Tobias," I try to say normally but comes out as a moan when he kisses the spot where my shoulder and neck meet.
I hear him hum in acknowledgment of his name being said.
I pull away from him and fix my shirt. "What was that all about? What is with you recently?"
"I told you, I missed you."
"I was only gone for, like, 2 hours!" I say, my voice rising a little.
"Fine. Sorry for trying to show you affection. I just won't kiss you anymore if that's what you want."
"No! That's not what I meant! You've been a lot more flirtatious and intimate with me lately, why is that?"
"I'm not doing anything unlike myself!"
"Yeah, you are. You have never kissed my neck like that or like Monday when you put your tongue in my mouth! You've never done something like that, and just to kiss me goodbye? Really?"
"Fine," I watch him leave the room. I then hear the apartment door shut. Is he mad? Did I say something wrong? Should I have just dropped it? What if he doesn't come back? I walk out to the apartment door and open it, but don't see him anywhere in the hallways. I close the door and slide down it, tears threatening to spill out. I hope he comes back.
~Tobias's POV~
I don't get it. I'm not doing anything different or wrong. I see her point with Monday, but I was just trying to see if she was ready to start going further. After tonight, I guess not. I barely saw her on Tuesday and on Wednesday, I would kiss her when she was talking and she seemed fine with it. She wasn't pulling away or telling me to stop. If she did, I would have. I would have stopped immediately, understanding I had pushed her to far, but she didn't tell me to stop or show any signs of being uncomfortable.
Tonight, I wasn't expecting her to have cooked, but what I found weird was when she started massaging my shoulders. It was strange and not something she usually does. It was unexpected and not something she normally does, then when I ask her why she was acting strange, she got defensive and asked me why I was being strange.
I just left. If she wanted to get mad at me over something, then fine. Maybe it was her time of the month. No, wait; she was complaining about that a week or 2 ago. Whatever.
I head for Zeke's room just to vent about this fight I just had with Tris.
After Zeke's I head back to the apartment. I noticed it was quarter till 1 when I left and by the time I get to the apartment, it should be about 1 and Tris should be asleep. I knew Zeke would understand and after talking about everything, we just sat around and talked about whatever. Zeke sort of made me realize that I had been acting weird but he also said that Tris was over reacting.
I get to the apartment and fish around in my pockets for the keys. I find them and put it in the lock and push. Expecting the door to open immediately, I walk right into it. Wait, did she barricade the door? Did she lock me out?
I push on the door a little harder, feeling whatever was holding the door fall over. I peek my head around the door to see what had been keeping me out and see Tris rubbing her eyes on the floor. Oh, God. She had been what was against the door and it looked like she had been asleep too. She looks up at me and I see how red and slightly puffy her eyes are. Shit. I had made her cry, hadn't I?
"Tris?" I ask gently walking over to her. I crouch down next to her. "Are you ok?"
She tackles me. "You came back! I thought you left and weren't coming back!"
I feel my shirt start to get wet where her face is. "Of course not! I just needed some time to cool off and you did too. I would never leave you." I say gripping her to me harder. I kiss her on top of her head. Then I pick her up and carry her to our room. I lie her down on the bed. I go to leave, but she grasps my arm.
"Please, please don't leave me again." I guess leaving her after something like that was not a smooth move. I crawl on the bed, behind her and whisper, "Hey, I'm not going anywhere." She snuggles in to me and falls asleep. I guess…. I don't know. I guess that Tris is more easily hurt then I thought.
