les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

37. Cleaning Lady

Imagine being a janitor in Dauntless and the leader of Dauntless, Eric, takes a liking for you.

*************************************

Today was another long day on the job, and instead of getting to go home at 4:00 pm, like every other day, you were assigned to clean up after the initiates. Yes, you work in Dauntless as a janitor, and no, it's not the best job, but when you're a transfer from Candor and have over 30 fears, it's the best you can get, you're just happy that you got through initiation.

You walk into the training room at 6:00, just as the initiates are leaving, and you see him. Eric, the youngest Dauntless leader and one of your fellow transfers from your own initiation. He is hot as hell, and you may have had a crush on him during your initiation, but you also know that he is a complete asshole. Once all the initiates leave, you are left alone with Eric, and there he stands giving you sympathetic looks, like always. What is his fucking problem?

Eric's POV

I see her walk in with all her equipment, and as always, I feel myself being drawn towards her. I know I shouldn't be, I'm a fucking leader after all, and she's just a lowly janitor. I can do so much better than a girl with over thirty fears, yet, I still want her, and I don't know why.

I find myself staring at her again, like I always do, but this time, she's staring right back, the only difference is that she looks very annoyed.

Y/N's POV

That's it, this constant staring needs to stop. You put down your mop and walk up to Eric, you look up at him, trying to make yourself seem intimidating, but fail.

"Do you need something?" Eric raises his eyebrows at you.

"Yes," you say confidently, "I need you to stop staring at me as if I'm some fragile little girl who you feel bad for."

Eric smirks down at me as if to say 'Oh really?' so I continue, "Just because you're a leader, doesn't mean I need your sympathy."

"What make you think you can talk to me like that?" He says gripping your arm tightly, "You said it yourself honey, I'm a leader, and what are you? Just a petty little janitor. So next time, think twice before trying to sass me."

"Fuck you," I mutter.

He clenches his jaw, his grip on your arm tightens, and he hisses, "What was that? You'll have to speak up."

You roll your eyes. Bad decision.

"Don't ever roll your eyes at me Y/N!" Damn, he actually knows your name, "Why don't we put your little cleaning skills to the test. Be at my place, tonight at 8, and if you don't show up it might be the end of your life as a member of Dauntless."

You nod quickly and he walks away. You knew Eric was an asshole, but you never thought he would threaten to make you factionless. You continue cleaning the training room thinking, 'What have I got myself into?'

You get to Eric's door five minutes before 8:00, and you slowly knock, he opens the door, staring down at you.

Eric stands shirtless, in loose lounge pants that hang low on his hips, he looks like a fucking God, and you have fight the urge to throw yourself at him, "You're early."

You shrug your shoulders, "Better than being late, right?"

He leads you in and your jaw drops at the mess in his apartment, you curse under your breath knowing that he made this place extra messy just for you. He gestures at you to get started and makes his way to his kitchen.

It takes you just over an hour to clean the entire living room and by the end of it, you are absolutely exhausted, you have never worked so fast in your life.

Eric finally walks out of the kitchen, and nods in approval, "Impressive."

You smile back at him, and he asks, "You hungry?"

At that moment, you realize how hungry you actually are, so you nod at him, and he gestures at you to follow. You walk into his dining room with him and notice two plates of pasta salad sitting on the table.

Eric sits down in his chair and you stare at him, this has to be some kind of joke, why would a Dauntless leader make dinner for a girl like you?

He shoots you a questioning look, then demands, "Sit."

You quickly sit in the chair across from him and start eating, "Wow, this is really good."

Eric smirks, and you realized that you just boosted ego even more, "What did you expect?"

"I don't know, like burnt food, maybe a kitchen on fire or something," He rolls his eyes at your pathetic attempt at a joke.

"Alright well I should go," You say putting your dishes in the sink and walking out of the dining room, towards the door.

"Okay, well I'll see you around Y/N," Eric smiles, like actually smiles, not the malicious smile he gets when he is torturing an initiate, but a legit, happy, smile.

Your Candor side suddenly shows through and you blurt, "You should smile more often, makes you look hotter."

He chuckles, and your eyes widen when you realize what you just said, "I-I mean, I'm just gonna go now!"

You walk out the door, and Eric stands in the doorway, looking at you, you can't help but stare down at his Greek God body.

"Like what you see," He smirks, and you turn a bright shade of red. He suddenly squints at you, "You have a little something on your mouth."

You touch the side of your lip trying to get it off, "Where?"

"Here, let me get it," He leans forward and places his lips on yours, kissing you roughly, eventually he pulls back, leaving you out of breath, "God knows how long I've been waiting to do that."

He walks into his apartment and shuts the door behind him. Leaving you in the middle of the hallway, stunned and in awe. You should sass Eric more often, if it leads to these kinds of punishments.
