You And Me Against The World | ✅

Chapter 36

On Sunday Tobias and I locked ourselves in our apartment and texted our friends that we needed some time to ourselves. Tobias surprised me with breakfast in bed, we watched a romantic comedy, then we started cooking lunch together. After lunch we watched an action movie, but didn't pay much attention to it since we were otherwise occupied. We made love five times and by ten p.m. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow.

The next morning, I wake up before Tobias. He holds me in his arms and I watch his handsome face still peacefully sleeping. I know it's still early, but somehow I'm really turned on right now. I lean forward and kiss his full lips gently. Before I can pull back he tightens his arms around me and starts kissing me passionately. He pushes his tongue inside my mouth exploring it like so many times before. We give in to our carnal urges and make love. Twice. I send him into the bathroom to take a shower while I go downstairs to make our breakfast. I decide on scrambled eggs and bacon, but also some fruit salad. By the time Tobias comes down all clean and dressed for work breakfast is ready and he sits down at the island. I pour him a mug of coffee and put a plate in front of him. I then do the same for me and sit down next to him.

"So, what is on your list today?" he asks smiling.

"I have a meeting with the girls, as well as Ms. Stone, Ms. Aubrey and Mr. Walsh regarding the Halloween party. Afterwards I would like to come to your office to continue reading the files. Unless you have meetings," I say before sipping from my coffee.

"I have no meetings. At least none in the morning. I have a meeting with Dwayne after lunch and then with Zeke. Do you want Tori to sit in your meeting?" he asks.

"No, it's not necessary," I say. "But she's more than welcome if she wants to," I add.

"We'll ask her. You can use my office after lunch to continue reading," he says.

"I have some things to prepare for the party myself. Besides I need to go to the Hub."

"Why? There's no meeting scheduled for today," he says furrowing his eyebrows.

"I know. I need to check something in the bylaws. It might take a while. But I'm confident I will be back before supper," I say.

"Take the car," he says.

"Alright," I reply.

"What? No argument? Who are you and what have you done to my Tris?" he asks all serious.

"Oh, shut up and eat your breakfast," I say smacking his arm lightly.

"It's not every day you agree with me," he says amused.

"That's so not true, Tobias. I agree with you a lot. Just this morning I agreed with you," I say grinning. "Twice actually."

"If you recall it correctly I agreed with you," he says smirking.

"Tomato, tomato," I say and he laughs. We finish eating and while Tobias cleans up I take a quick shower and hurry downstairs. He already waits for me at the bottom of the stairs and when there are two final stairs left I launch myself into his arms and giggle when he catches me. We kiss tenderly before he puts me down and we go to work. We kiss goodbye for the time being and I enter my office. I sit down at my desk and turn on my computer. A knock on my door announces the first person. I tell the person to enter and am a little surprised to see Tori.

"Good morning, Tris," she says.

"Good morning Tori. I see you decided to join me today," I say getting up and shaking her hand.

"Yes. Four told me you had a meeting at the Hub after lunch and asked me if I wanted to join him for his afternoon meetings with Zeke in the control room," she tells me.
