Tris POV
"So, you did fuck her." I spit and Tobias looks at me with guilty eyes.
"Tris, I'm so, so sorry." He steps towards me and I scoff.
"Fuck you." I shout and walk out of the apartment. Great, I have no where to go. I walk to Eric's office and knock on the open doorframe. He looks up at me and I instantly get lost in his grey eyes.
"Tris." He says, snapping me out of my trance like state. "Are you okay?" His eyebrows furrow is concern and I shake my head.
"Honestly, no, I found out T-Four slept with my ex-best friend. I need a new apartment." I run a shaky hand through my hair and Eric does something unpredictable. He walks up to me, and hugs me. The heartless, cold, Dauntless Leader Eric hugged me.
"There are no more apartments open yet. But, if you want, you don't have to, but if you want you can stay with me until an apartment opens up." He mumbles into my hair while rubbing a calloused hand up and down my left arm soothingly.
"Why are you being nice to me?" I whisper and he stiffens then pushes me away, as if realizing he was letting his walls down to a former Stiff.
"You looked like you were hurting like hell on the inside or whatever and I don't need anyone else jumping into the Chasm this year." He says all too quickly and I can tell he's lying.
"Oh, okay, I'm going to live by the Chasm though, you know, until an apartment opens up." I say, tuning to walk out the door but Eric grabs my arm, turns me around and kisses me. I freeze and he pulls away, looks in the hallway, and smirks. I turn around and see a completely heartbroken Tobias looking at us. My eyes go wide then narrow. I turn around and kiss Eric again, his soft lips taste strongly of peppermint gum. Eric's tongue swipes along my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I hesitantly part my lips and his tongue darts into my mouth and massages mine lightly. I let out a light moan and hear pounding footsteps going away and I pull back.
"Is he gone?" I ask, trying to catch my breath and Eric nods.
"You're better at that than I thought you were Stiff." Eric winks and I roll my eyes.
