les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

106. Jealous

Imagine: Eric getting jealous when another initiate asks you out and not knowing what to do about it because you're not actually dating. 

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

Eric's POV

Training is over for the day and the initiates make their way towards the door when a kid makes his way towards Y/N, "Hey pretty girl!"

"Um, hi Kyle," She replies awkwardly, her friends give her a quick look and tell they'd wait outside.

"It's the weekend, I was just wonder what you were doing," Before she can answer, he arrogantly says, "Well whatever it is, you should cancel and go on a date with me instead."

I feel my face heat up in anger and I have the urge to pull him away from her. What am I thinking?! She's nothing to me, at least I'm nothing to her. She'd probably just laugh in my face if I showed any sign of jealousy. Stop! I'm Eric, feared leader of the Dauntless, I shouldn't be so affected by the opinion of one girl. Especially not an initiate.

So lost in trying to talk myself out of pouncing on the kid, I don't notice Y/N approaching me. I'm taken aback when she stands next to me, grasps my arm, and places her free hand against my chest.

Y/N's POV

Your heart pounds so hard you're sure everyone can hear it. This is such a stupid idea Y/N! You had noticed Eric glaring at Kyle, so you decided to put an end to his relentless flirting once and for all. You grasp Eric's arm and place my free hand against his rock-hard chest. You'd only dreamed of a moment like this, but you never thought you'd be stupid enough to actually make it happen. You take a deep breath and put on your best smirk, "Actually, I have plans with Eric tonight."

You feel Eric take a sharp breath. Stupid, stupid, stupid! He's gonna be furious. Kyle's smirk falters and his mouth falls open in shock.

"I-I didn't know, I'm sorry!" He stutters quickly before rushing off.

When the door shuts, an intense moment of silence settles in the training room. Eric finally breaks it, "What was that all about?"

"S-sorry sir," You quickly release his arm and step away, refusing to look him in the eye, "Kyle's been flirting with me ever since initiation started. I thought the best way to get rid of him would be to scare him off! I didn't mean to cross a line!"

Eric smiles coolly, "Well, I guess you'll be meeting me for drinks in the Pit at 8:30 tonight."

"W-what?" You stare at him wide eyed. Is he serious?!

"We need to make your story believable don't we?" He smirks. You nod quickly, and he gives you a subtle wink before leaving the training room. Well that went better than expected.
