Tris POV
I am startled awake by my alarm. For fucks sake I hate that alarm so fucking much. I turn to my beside table to look at the time; its 6 am. Alright, time to be up and at em'. Ughh, I'm so tired, I rub my eyes to try and wake myself up but it doesn't work , I sigh and turn to Tobias to wake him up.
"Tobias" I groan still half a sleep. No response; I swear to God this guy can sleep through a fucking war.
"Tobias" I say more sternly and loudly, whilst shoving his shoudler lightly and he finally starts to stir. Thank God, because I would've dunked ice cold water on him. He groggily opens his eyes amd wearily smiles at me.
"Morning, love" he yawns. stretching his arms out. I lean in to kiss his cheek
"Morning, babe" I reply smiling. He then brings me into his chest and starts attacking my neck with kisses. I moan at the feeling and I can feel his smirk. I would love to but not this morning, I have an early meeting with Max and the professional dickhead at 7.
I pull away and shake my head. He pouts at me, making me laugh at his reaction.
"Sorry babe, got an early meeting " I smile as I get out of bed to go the dresser.
"Your mean" he groans.
I roll my eyes and bend down to get my tank top, which at the bottom draw of my dresser. I hear a wolf-whislte as I bend down. I turn around and glare playfully at him.
"Its a nice view" he wiggles his eyebrows. I laugh at his silliness and say I'm gonna get ready.
I finish my shower, put my black tank top and my black jeans, which Christina said my ass looked amazing in. I got to the bathroom sink and start to do makeup; which is some mascara, concealer and chapstick. My favourite makeup routine, as it's so quick and easy! I tuck the front peices of my hair behind my ears. I smile to myself and walk out to the bedroom, to find Tobias back asleep! Oh my God, seriously!?
"BABE" I shout with my arms across my chest, he's gonna be late and then he is gonna get stressed; I hate to see him like that.
He get startles awake, he yawns and mumbles something incoherent and he finally gets up out of bed and walks towards the bathroom . Finally, I shake my head and grab my phone and walk out to the front door to put my combat boots on. When I finish putting my boots on, I feel a vibration in my back pocket, who's calling me? I shrug and take my phone out of my pocket to check, oh its mom!
"Hey, mom" I greet excitedly, I love hearing my mom speak.
"Hi, sweet girl"
"So whats up?"
"I was going to ask if you and Tobias want to come over for dinner tomorrow." That would be nice, going back to my childhood house and seeing my parents, of course. However, Abnegation food doesn't do my mums cooking skills justice.
"I would love to; I'll ask Tobias what he thinks, and then this evening I will get back to you" I smile
"Ok, no problem honey, I'll let you start you day and I will speak to you later"
"Ok, bye mom, love you"
"Love you too, Beatrice " and with that she hangs up and Tobias comes strolling in. She still calls me Beatrice and I let her because it feels natural with her.
"Who was on the phone?" Tobias asks as he bends down to pull his boots on.
"My mom, she was asking if we want to come round for dinner tomorrow night, do you want to go?"
"Yeah" he nods and stands up.
"Cool, I will call her back to tell her you said yes" I smile. Suddenly, my stomach growls.
" I will get you some you a muffin from the pantry, as you don't have time to eat breakfast in the cafeteria." He flashes me a pantie dropping smile and walks towards the kitchen. I watch him walk away in awe; he is literally the perfect boyfriend! I love him so much and I can't wait to grow old with him, for him to be my husband and for him to be the father of my children! He would be perfect dad, I know he won't be like that sorry excuse of a human; Marcus. Even hearing his name makes me want to punch a wall. I can't believe I have to face him every two days, its literally torture.
"I got you your muffin" Tobias says, drawing me out of my thoughts. I grin up at him and take the muffin then I stand on my tiptoes to kiss him. I kiss him lovingly and he wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me closer, kissing me back with the same passion. He pulls away after a few moments and rests his forehead on mine.
"You look beautiful" he sighs lovingly,
"I'm only in my usual clothing" I laugh
"Babe, even if you were in covered in mud and looked like you were run over by a train, I will still think you are the most beautiful woman in the world." I blush at his words, he knows how to make me know I'm the only woman that can make him turn his head.
"I love your blush and I love you" he strokes my cheek.
My heart swells with adoration "I love you too". He kisses my forehead then I unrwap myself from his arms. I check the time on my phone and see that its 6:45 am, shit we got to go!
"Walk me to my meeting" I grin, he smirks and grabs his keys, takes my hand in his and we are out the door, walking in hand in hand to meeting room which is about three floors down from our apartment.
"I really don't want to face Eric today" I complain as we get in to the elevator.
"Yeah, I hate that guy so much, I don't know how you do it, baby" He shakes his head.
"Me either, I must be fucking super woman or something" I joke, he laughs and kisses my temple.
"Your my superwoman" and the elevtor dings.
"Yeah, I know and your my superman" we step out the elevator and continue walking down the hallway to the meeting room. Hey, superman and superwoman, great Halloween idea!
"Oh my God, we can be superman and superwoman for Halloween" I gush. Me and Tobias have been planning our Halloween costume early as we are both planners and hate do things last minute, although it is only March, so you could call it excessive.
"Thats a great idea" he gasps.
"Yeah, much better than your Fiona and Shrek idea" I tease. A week ago, Tobias came and asked me if we should be Fiona and Shrek, as he just saw the movie.
He rolls his eyes "Whatever" and I laugh at his reaction and we are face to face with the meeting room.
"I really don't want to go in" I groan
He kisses the crown of my head "I know babe, but your strong and you got this"
I sigh heavily, I give Tobias a goodbye kiss and we say our "byes and I love yous" to eachother, he gives me another kiss and walks away . I frown as I see his body retreating, I take a bite of my blueberry muffin and check my phone to the see the time; its officially 7am. Yaayy, I take a deep breath to calm my hostility towards Eric and walk in to face the music.
As I walk in, I see Max and Eric sitting down discussing and pointing at a sheet in Erics hand. I can see the pig has his tea cakes on a little white plate. I mentally scoff at him but I wonder what they could be talking about. I clear my throat to make my presence known and both pairs of eyes snap up to meet mine.
"Good morning, Tris" Max greets as I plop my ass down on a chair opposite them. But I don't Eric quickly dash the sheet under the table. I wonder what that little elf is hiding, I make a mental note to check it out after the meeting.
"Good morning Max" I reply, "Eric" I nod my head towards him, trying to keep the peace.
"Hi, bitch" he waves and smiles sarcastically. Fucker. But I'm gonna gonna be the mature one, and I bite my tongue so I can't insult him back. I'm not gonna stoop down to his level.
I just roll my eyes at his behaviour and turn my attention to Max. "So, what are we discussing today,?"
Max starts explaining how we need to discuss my recent report and how him and Eric are suspicious of divergants in dauntless. Oh for fucks sake! I keep my poker face , but I notice that Eric's eyes darts to me when Max utters the word divergant, checking to see if I have any reaction to see if I'm one of them. Asshole. A hairy one I might add.
Max asks me what I put down in my report. I explain, I put down all the recent fights in Dauntless, trading with other factions, how initiation went down, the ex-initiates jobs and who has been assigned to the factionless, how you and Eric have been leading our faction. While I'm talking I can see that Eric is stuffing his fat gob with tea cakes! I would never thought that I would feel sorry for an inanimate object but I do.
"So whats this about, divergants" I ask taking a bite of my muffin.
Max balances his elbows on the edge of the table and clasps his hand together "We have a few suspects"
"Who" I wipe my mouth with my hand to clear away any crumbs.
"Charlie and Uriah" Eric smirks, knowing that they are my friends.
I feel my mouth drop open a bit but I quickly compose myself. Charlie and Uriah!? I mean Charlie is really kind and intelligent, Uriah is also smart and I can't lie, he is really honest, a bit too honest sometimes. For instance, he will tell you your breath stinks if he is talking to you and will proudly announce when he needs to take a shit, he will also call you out blatantly.
"Why" I clear my throat
Max sighs "Charlie seems to be to kind, too Amity according to Eric" I can hear the venom in his voice when he says Amity. I roll my eyes, what a bunch of five year olds.
"Yeah, like in ititation I saw his fear landscape he has a fear of hurting people" Eric snorts, with his mouth full of cake. Fear of hurting people? But when he was in initiation, he was a year before me, he was one of the best fighters, he would tear people down in a fight, he literally came second in the final rankings! But then again, Eric is apart ruthless dauntless, the sadistic side of Dauntless. So the fear of hurting people is unnatural to them. I don't know where Max stands but I know I'm part of noble Dauntless, the kind which fight with good intentions.
"That doesn't mean, anything just because he has a fear of hurting people doesn't mean he is divergant" I huff
"Then why does he, huh? Only Amity people are scared of hurting people" Eric snaps
He's pissing me off now "Thats not true, I thought you came from Erudite, just because someone is afraid of hurting someone doesn't make them any less Dauntless, most likely the people they are afraid of hurting are innocent people and those they care for; so Charlie probably isn't afraid of hurting fuckers like you!" I fire back with a smirk on my face.
Eric look likes he is about to burst, he opens his mouth to say something but before he can get any words out Max cuts him off.
"That makes more sense Tris, thank you" he nods. I shrug as a response.
"And Uriah?" I inquire
"The dude, is the most honest person in Dauntless, his honesty is like Candor level honesty!" Eric huffs
I nod "It is true, but that doesn't mean he is divergant either; just because he doesn't like lying doesn't mean he is Candor. To be honest also takes bravery, so one could argue that just another field where he is acting Dauntless."
"That is a very intelligent and analytical approach, Tris; well done" Max gives me a small smile. I nod in thanks.
"Almost too intelligent" Eric sneers, he thinks I'm divergant! Well I am but there is no way in hell I'm exposing myself, that would be stupid.
I roll my eyes "What is it now"
"Eric are accusing Tris of being divergant" Max asks
"Well if the shoe fits..." Eric raises his eyebrows and takes another bite of cake.
"Yeah like I'm divergant, if I was why would I be a leader knowing there is a greater risk of me being supposedly found out" I scoff
"I don't know, intelligent people work weirdly" Eric spits.
"Aww, you think I'm intelligent;how sweet" I pout mockingly. I can see Max start to laugh but covers it as a cough when Eric shoots him a glare.
Max clears his throat "But she is right, she would be at greater risk if she was divergant and why would she do that"
Max stands up from his chair "Well, I best be on my way to he weapons area; to see how people are doing down there", he walks out of the meeting room and shuts the door behind him.
"I best be on my way too." Eric rises from his chair and walks quickly towards the door, like he has somewhere to be.
"Planning to take over the world are we" I joke
"Something like that" he winks and walks out the door. I don't think he was joking, what could he mean? I remember where he put that peice of paper he and Eric were discussing earlier. I rise from my chair, get on the floor on my hands and knees to swipe it from under the table. I crouch on the floor and stare at the paper.
Its a blueprint sheet. Why would they need this and it looks like a blueprint of some kind of weapon. I mean this isn't unnatural, its just why would they need to be discussing a weapon? It could be just checking what the people who are weapon makers make, as they do look after this faction properly. But that conclusion doesn't sit right with me. I decide that I'm gonna talk to Tobias about this. I let out heavy breath, folded the blue print sheet and I put it in my back pocket. I get up and walk towards the control room, which is a whole block away.
I reach the control room and knock on the door and Tobias opens the door, smiling once he sees its me.
He opens the door wider so I can come in "Hey, baby"
"Hey, yourself" I smile as I come in. He shuts the door behind him, turns and faces me with a big grin on his face. He walks towards me and snakes his arms around my waist, pulling me close to him.
"Where are Zeke and Bud?" I question look around, noticing their absence.
"Oh there on a snack run; so that gives us some time " he smirks mischievously, I can see his eyes flash with lust and before I can respond he presses his lips to mine, I give in and kiss him back. Our kiss starts of slow and gentle but then gets very hungry and passionate. His tongue lick my lower lip and that's when I pull away.
He pouts at me, I laugh and cup his cheek.
"Baby, I can make love with you all the time but that's not the reason why I came here"
He nods, probing me to continue. I unlock his arms from around me and take out the blue print from my back pocket.
"When I walked into the meeting room, I saw Max and Eric where pointing and talking about this peice of paper and when I sat down, Eric dashed it under the table so I couldn't see. Eric and Max left leaving the paper behind, so I went to look at it and I discovered that is was a blue print sheet of some kind of weapon it could be innocent but I don't think it is" I explain and I unfold it and hand it to him. He takes the sheet and studies it carefully, his eyes analytically scanning the whole sheet.
"Its a blue print of a nuclear weapon; it says it has the weight 9 kilotons which is pretty dangerous. Judging that the bomb that took out Hiroshama was 15 kilotons." He explains
I pull my eyebrows together, what could they be possibly planning? I mean its obvious that its some evil scheme but what could the be doing with it? If 15 kilotons took out Hiroshama, 9 kilotons could wipe out a faction or two. Is that what there planning, to take out the factions, but why? Control? That's always the main reason for past tragic historic events. But its something more deeper then control, I have a feeling that there not just planning just to take out a faction or two.
"Tris?" Tobais, asks pulling me away from my conspiracies.
"Yeah" I walk backwards to his desk and lean back agasint it, folding my arms across my chest.
"What are you thinking?"
I rub my face with my hands "Considering, that 15 kilotons wiped out Hiroshama, a nuclear weapon the size of 9 kilotons could eliminate two factions. I think Eric and Max are apart of some scheme but its hard to say because they could just be protecting the city from potential attacks but I'm not fully convinced with that justification. If they are, the plan could be to take out two factions it and it would obviously be stemded from control, but something makes me think they don't just want to take out two factions. Because if they wanted that they could've done that by now as they aren't waiting on anything."
Tobias fold his arms against his chest and nods his head slowly, trying to make my theory make sense. He clears his throat.
"You are definitely onto something; as Eric is a sadistic maniac so it makes sense for him to be apart of this but Max.. I'm not sure, he is a very closed man, he is not the person you can read like a book. And who's to say that blueprint isn't one of many weapons. Your right aswell, if they wanted to take out a faction they would have done it by now as initiation ended months ago. " He walks up to me and hands the paper back, I fold it and slip it inside my back pocket.
I nod my head and take a deep breath. I don't want to deal with this but I have no choice. If what they are planning is true then, I'm gonna take a stand and fight it like a real woman, and I can't just let innocent people be hurt. I don't want my Mum and my Dad and Caleb, in fact anyone getting hurt. This is gonna stress me out and I'm afraid it might be my fault if I don't solve this.
Its like he can hear my worries "Baby, what's wrong" he strokes my cheek with his thumb.
I sigh "I just feel like its gonna be my fault if I don't figure out what their doing and they end up hurting people, I will never forgive myself" I feel tears start to collect in my eyes.
He raises my chin up to meet his calm, blue eyes. He presses a kiss to my temple "Its not going to be your fault if you don't figure it out, and don't think like that; you are going to figure it out your the most intelligent person I know, don't doubt yourself. Even if it gets tough you will still fight because you are a fighter and you never back down from a challenge."
I give him a small smile, still not confident in myself. He notices and continues "Tris, I will always be here for you, you complete me. You are such a fighter, you got first in Dauntless initiation; you are pretty much one of the toughest people in the city. You are also incredibly smart, I read your grades from high school when I found out about your Divergence, you got so many A stars in AP Physics which is pretty much impossible also you are full of smart remarks, which take a high IQ. Even if you don't figure it out, which I know you will because I believe in you, I will always look at you the same; the women that takes my breath away, you won't seem any less intelligent to me. It also won't be your fault, but I can understand how you feel."
I kiss him lovingly, thankful for his encouraging words. I feel more confident in myself. I will figure this out; all thanks to Tobias. He kisses me back, our lips cresting a loving dance.
I pull away and rest my head on his chest. "What would I do without you" I sigh.
"I should be saying that to you, my love" he kisses the crown of my head.
"But I do think you should look into this more; Scooby doo this shit up!" He laughs, breaking the serious atmosphere.
"Your such a dork, that line was from a Spiderman movie" I roll my eyes playfully
"I know but I'm your dork"
"Yes,you are; I will look into this more , something fishy is going on here" I sigh into his chest.
"Speaking of fish," I laugh at the random topic "Do you like it?" Tobias asks, his arms tighenting around me.
"Yeah, I do, why?" I ask
"No reason" he shrugs quickly.
"Okay" I eye him up and down suspiciously, he laughs and kisses me eagerly I kiss him back, as we kiss I can feel his hands travel down to my ass, he rests them there giving a slight squeeze at times, making me moan into his mouth. I break the kiss and he assaults my neck with kisses, I moan softly at the sensation, I can feel myself starting to get wet. My fingers find his brown curls and tug at them. Then I hear the door swing open, standing there, is a Zeke grinning ear to ear. We jump apart and blush at being caught.
"Did I Interrupt something?" Zeke laughs as he kicks the door shut, with a brown bag in his hand and plops himself on his desk chair.
"No" I blush even harder.
"Uh huh, the look on your faces says you were about to get it on" He wiggles his eyebrows.
Tobias rolls his eyes "Go and suck your mum"
"You wanna do it for me" Zeke bursts out laughing, banging his hand on his desk.
I can see the corners of Tobias' mouth twitch, but he quickly composes himself, putting his Four mask on and clears his throat "Where's Bud?"
Zeke calms his laughter down "Oh he went to go and visit Tori" Visiting Tori?
"Does Bud like Tori?" I gasp
"Yeah, he keeps asking us how to smell good, look good and act, also the fucker is always sneaking off to go and see her" Zeke chuckles. I think its sweet though that he has a little crush on her, Tori is awesome girl aswell.
"I think its sweet"
"Hey what's in the bag, imebcile" Tobias motions towards Zeke's brown bag.
"I got us some cakes from Charlie's bakery" Zeke snorts. Oh that reminds, I need to visit Charlie today.
"Thank you, Teddy bear you have just reminded me I need to visit Charlie today after dinner" I smile. He gives me a nod and a smile.
"Got some Dauntless cake in there" Tobias asks walking over to Zeke's desk.
"You know it" Zeke smirks and pulls a slice of Dauntless cake out of the bag.
Tobias grins, gives him a fist pump and takes the Dauntless cake slice and puts it on his desk.
I smile at their broship. Its so cute. I take my phone out of my back pocket to check the time, shit its 9:15 am, I need to get back to my office before Eric tells on me to Max, idiot.
I clap my hands to get the attention in the room, "Right, I gotta go guys" I put my phone in my back pocket and walk towards the door.
At the door, Tobais walks over, hugs me and plants a kiss on my head. "Love you, Tris"
"Love you too, Four" I sigh and unwrap my arms from him, I open the door and step in to the hallway. I turn around to face them and I decide to do something cringe. I take my imaginary baseball bat and stand in a baseball player position. I kiss my right hand, my left still holding the bat. I take
the "kiss" ,which was from my hand, and throw it in the air, I swing my bat and bat the kiss towards Four.
Thankfully, he catches on; runs back, jumps up, catching my kiss and hugs it to his chest. I start laughing at Zekes horrified expression, I wave at both of them and walk down the hallway to my office.
As I'm walking, I hear Zeke ask Tobias "What the fuck was that" and Tobias laughs as a reply. I love his laugh.
