Enigmatic - Divergent/Eric Fanfiction

Chapter Fourteen

I awoke the next morning to the sound of quiet humming. I knew instantly that it was Talulah, and that she was in a good mood.

I poked my head out from under the sheets to see that she was tying her boots up, smiling away whilst humming. She was in a very good mood.

"Someone's happy..." I said, trying to cover my grin with the sheets.

She looked up at me and grinned, and I thought that she was going to burst. "I had such a good night, Jac!!!"

I rolled my eyes jokingly. "Spare me the gory details." I pushed the sheets back and sat up. "What happened?"

She sat up properly and held her arm out to me. "Well, look at the bracelet Nathan got me!"

I looked down at the small silver bracelet that was wrapped delicately around her small wrist. It had two small charms hanging on it, one red, and one black and white.

"He said that the colours of the charm represent us, and where we come from."

I smiled. "That's so cute!"

"I know!" She squealed. "Did you know that Lu had given him her keys for the night?? We had such a good time!! He gave me this, then we sat and talked and cuddled for a bit, then he asked me to be his girlfriend..."

I pretended to be surprised and let out an excited gasp. "What did you say??"

"Yes, of course!!"

I let out a girly squeal and grinned. "Then what happened?"

"You wanted me to spare the gory details..." She pursed her lips, trying to smother a smile.

My jaw dropped open and then I grinned again. "You guys..."

She nodded.

"No way!!" I cried.

She threw her head back and let out an excited giggle.

"Oh my gosh!" I laughed. "You dirty little..."

She giggled again.

I shuffled off of the bed and grabbed some clothes out from the small compartment underneath it. "How many times?" I asked. When it came to sex I only knew what I'd heard from other people, and read about, but I figured it was enough to have a conversation about it with her.

"Twice." She answered, still smiling away.

"Was it good?"

"It was great."

I laughed and searched for my shoes "I'm really happy for you, Tee."

"Thank you." She smiled at me.

"Oh, you ranked third by the way... Nathan was first!"

"Really??" She cried. "Oh this day is just getting better and better!"

I laughed again. "You're a lucky girl."

"Aren't I just?"

After everyone had finished eating their breakfast, Four stood up and paused between the two tables that all of the initiates were sat on.

"Transfers, we're doing something different today. Follow me."

We all got to our feet and followed him as he led us out of the dining hall and along the path that surrounded the Pit. Talulah and Nathan walked directly behind him, their fingers interlocked, as Freddie and I dawdled along just behind them, and James trailed along at the back silently. Sometimes I felt incredibly guilty that James was so alone, but he always had that look on his face that made you stay away. He was the type of person that you feared would eye strike you just for saying hello.
