Secluded

Surprise!

Secluded Chapter 8

Tris POV

What in the world has gotten into Eric? All day he has been giving me looks and I've caught him staring at me even. Did I not brush my teeth this morning? 

I rushed into the house when he dropped me off, I went into the bathroom to check myself out in the mirror to check my teeth and face. Hoping I didn't have dirt or something on my face. But then again, if it wasn't my face then why was he staring? And then there's this surprise he has decided to do out of nowhere tonight.

I'm waiting here on the steps of the front porch for him to get back. He said he had to "set up some things". I have no idea where he went. I thought maybe he meant the barn but I searched for his bike from where I was sitting but didn't see any sign of him over there. 

I lean my left shoulder onto the post and begin wondering when he will be back. My mind wanders to how I felt on that bike with him and how he felt between my legs. It's the first time I've ever been that close to a man. A hot man. I tighten my legs just thinking about how freaking toned he felt when I had my arms around his stomach. I wonder if he works out every day. With that body, he must work out every day. He probably has women all over him at Dauntless. I become suddenly jealous of those women who have gotten to see his body without a piece of clothing on. He's probably had many women on top of him, and on his bed.  They've probably tasted him and I bet it's exactly how he smells...

I hear a roar of an engine coming closer that drags me out of my daydream I was having of Eric's body. I stand and fix my shirt and wait for him to park.

He looks at me with a smile and says "Ready?"

I hesitate and take small steps toward him "Where exactly are we going?"

He rolls his eyes and says "Just get on, Stiff. I'm not gonna hurt you."

I swing my leg onto the bike and wrapped my arms around his stomach and lace my fingers together.

"Hang on, I'm going to go a little fast this time" he yells as he takes off.

Woah, I hang on tighter and pray I do not fall off. I don't notice where we are going and I place my head on his back to rest. I look out onto the fields as we pass and drink up the beautiful scenery we pass. Ten minutes later Eric slows down and I look up to see where we are at. I suddenly recognize where he has taken us and am instantly surprised.

"Why are we here? I thought you didn't want us out here..." I say getting off the bike.

I stand waiting for Eric to say something but he gets off the bike and walks towards the tree. I hadn't even noticed what was under the tree until now and my mouth hands open in shock. He's placed a bright blue blanket under the tree with a small plate of cookies stacked on it and two beers. I notice a small lantern that hasn't been lit on it.

"Are you trying to seduce me or something? Why did you do this?" I ask trying really hard not to make this anymore awkward then I suddenly feel. And I can tell he feels weird about this now too.

"This is going to sound not like me. But you know I owe you. And I just thought I'd do something nice for you for a change. You had said you wanted to get to know me.  So I thought this would be the perfect way. I'm not trying to get into your pants, I swear" he laughs.

"But you said we couldn't go out this-"

"I know what I said, Tris. I changed my mind, alright? If there are any monsters out there I think we are both more than capable of getting away quickly on that bike" he said interrupting me.

"Well now you just jinxed it..." I joke trying to hide my smile.

He laughs and sits down on the blanket and rests his back against the tree.
