Dancing and Singing with You

Are you sure Chris?

Tris POV

I....Wha.....I'm not really sure what to say. Uriah quickly gets into his car and drives off. I grab all of my groceries, and begin to walk inside the building.

Christina comes towards me. She starts saying me name and asks me to stop walking. When I pretend to not hear her she gets frustrated and quickly grabs my arm before I can go anywhere else.

"Look, Tris, you can't tell anyone anything. If people find out, do you know they types of things they will think or say?" She says

"Look Chris I know this is really none of my business, but in all honesty, Will is one of my best friends. And I'm really disappointed in you. Especially now that you want me to keep this a secret." I say.

"Tris..." She starts. I shake my head and start to walk towards the elevators.

Once I get to my apartment, I unlock the door and put my bags in the dining room table. I see that Rosalina is about to leave.

"Hello Ms Prior. How was your day today." She asks.

"It was great," I say, half lying.

"Oh well that's good, did you want me to put those away before you go?" She asks politely.

"Oh no, I'm okay to do it myself thank you." I say

"Okay well I'm on my way out then. I'll see you tomorrow. Have a good night." She smiles.

"You too, Rosalina," I say and smile as well.

I close the door. I walk over to my dining room table grab the bags and walk towards the kitchen. I quickly put away all of the groceries.

I decide to go take a shower. I walk to the bathroom and turn the shower head on. I play some music and 'Bad Girls' by M.I.A starts blaring from the speakers. I undress and just as I'm about to enter the shower, the door bell rings.

I turn off the shower and music. I grab a robe to wear. I walk over to the door and look through the peep hole. I see Four.

With a groan I open the door.

"Can I help you?" I ask.

"Yeah," he says. He looks at me from head to toe. I feel slightly uncomfortable, so I cross my arms over my chest. "I was coming over here to discuss the duet you are going to do with me. I texted you and asked if I could come over." He says

"Well I don't really use my phone anymore..." 'for bullying reasons,' is what I want to tell him, but then he'll just keep questioning it.

"Oh well I didn't know that. If you want I'll just come back another time or something." He suggests.

I sigh."No you are already here, might as well come in and discuss this quickly." He walks in and walks toward the couch. "Want anything to drink?" I say from the kitchen.

"Yeah whatever is good," he says. I grab him a beer. He takes it, but not without saying a small thanks. He looks at the bottle. "Oh....ummm....I'm not allowed to drink," he says

"What why not?" I ask

"Oh Lauren doesn't like me drinking," he says. I stare shocked. Who the hell does Lauren think she is?

'His girlfriend,' I think 'so you really have no say,'

I know that the little voice in my head is right, I just stings.

"Oh well okay then. If there is anything else I can get you just ask." I say.

"No I'm okay thanks."he says.

I sit across from where he is sitting. I look into his very blue eyes. They make you feel like if you stare a little to closely that they will swallow you whole, but you can't help but keep staring.

"Okay," he starts. "So we need to practice the song. But first off the song is something I wrote, it's called 'A Team' (the song is really by Ed Sheeran, he is amazing check out his other songs!!!), I write it for one person but I'm going to make it into a duet." He tells me.

"Okay," I say.

********

After discussing everything, Four leaves. Now I can finally take my shower!

I walk to the bathroom an once again right before I'm about to get in, the door bell rings.

"Why can't people just let me shower?!?" I say

I put one my robe again, and walk to the door. I look through the peep hole and see Christina. She has her Pajamas on. I open the door a crack and look out.

"Hey," she says.

"Hi," I say quietly.

"Look Tris please, hear me out, I just want to tell you that I ended things with Uriah. It was a mistake and, I know I shouldn't have done it. But both Uriah and I agreed that we should just keep it between the three of us." She says

"You want me to lie to Marlene and Will?" I ask in disbelief. Well I'm okay with lying to Marlene, but will? Why can't she just be honest with him?

"I know, I know, it isn't the smartest idea, but Id Will were to break up with me, I.....I....I don't know what I would do." She starts to tear up.

'Please, don't start crying!' I think. Any time someone starts crying I feel so awkward.

"Okay Chris, this is just between us three." I say before she starts to cry a lot more. She smiles at me instantly.

"Thank you so much Tris! I knew I could count on you!" She says with too much enthusiasm. She hugs me.

'I may have to keep it a sercret, but that doesn't mean I will have to like it.'
