All The Better

Chapter 2

- 3 weeks later -


I wake up freezing. I start to sit but but then a arm pulls me back down holding me tightly.

I smile and hide my face in Seth’s warm, bare chest. He kisses my forehead and hides his face in my hair.

I rest my hand on his hip, playing with his sweat pants.

“We have work in…” I glance over at his clock on the side table “50 minutes.”

He groans and gets up and so do I.

“You shower first, I’ll go get something us to eat.” He says and starts to walk out.

“Seth!” I say, “Maybe a shirt?”

He chuckles and goes to put a shirt on while I hop in the shower and do what you do in showers.

As I’m getting out I hear the front door open.

I wrap a towel around me and walk out to see Seth with a muffin in his mouth and another in his hand.

“I’ll put it on the table.” He mumbles with the muffin in his mouth. His back is turned to me.

“Okay.” I say and walk past him to his room.

As I shut the door he whistles. I laugh and throw my towel at him while hiding my body behind the door.

I dress in my skinny jeans and his black t-shirt that goes past my butt.

I walk out and ring out the remaining water in my hair in the sink while he goes to take a shower.

I eat my muffin and sit on his couch.

Me and Seth decided to get together the day after my birthday. He both like each other and we’re best friends so why not.

He treats me better than anyone ever has. He doesn’t push me into having sex with him and he doesn’t make me uncomfortable.

He’s fun and lovable and smart and I love him.

He steps out with clothes on and wet hair.

I frown and look at him.

“What?” He questions.

“No fair. I wanted to see you shirtless!” I whine

He laughs and walks over to me and kisses my head “Later. I promise.”

I narrow my eyes at him and get up slipping my shoes on. “Alright.” I agree.

He puts his shoes on and hand in hand we walk to the control room.

He slides his card to open the door and we both enter, sitting at our desks and turning the computers on.

I’ve always had this thing with computers.

We watch until our shifts end and we go to lunch.

I sit down and pick up a hamburger and the red sauce then eat, while Seth just eats cake.

Soon Nova, Christina, Uriah, Zeke, and Marlene sit down at the table. We all converse until It’s time to go home.

Me and Seth walk home in a comfortable silence. That is until we hear Uriah running towards us “SETH!!!!” He yells.

Seth turns around and Uriah reaches us, panting.

“You have to follow me. Someone just got hit by a train on the cameras and I need you to help me find out who it is.”

“Why me?” Seth questions.

“Shes Abnegation.”
