**Four Months Later**
These past months since I completed initiation have been the complete opposite of a smooth ride: it's been super hectic. I've been learning my new job with Four, and that's been a lot to learn, but I'm managing. Eric and I spend our nights together, but that is about all the time we have for each other. Between his leadership job and my control room job, it's been busy busy.
Tobias and I have been working together a lot, because he is passing on his experience to me. I have also grown closer with Zeke as well, as him and Tobias both work in the control room; hence whenever Tobias isn't around, I spend my time with Zeke. And there is never a dull moment with Zeke.
Tonight, on the first evening we have off together, Eric and I are going on a date. Where? I do not know, he refuses to tell me. Apparently we are waiting until dark though.
Blake insisted on taking me shopping for an outfit even though I have more than enough clothes.
"How 'bout this one?" Blake asks, and she holds up a fit 'n' flare dress.
"I already have one that's similar. It needs to be something different." I tell her, and she nods, resuming our endless search.
"How about this one, girly? Just came in, brand new." Hayley approaches us, with black and red hi-lo dress. She works here as a part-time job. The top portion is a maroon, and the skirt flares out, and is high in the front and lower in the back. The front reaches just above my knees, and the back reaches my heels.
"Oh my god, Hayley, its gorgeous! Yes!" I tell her, and just before I pay, Blake pulls me towards the lingerie section. "Blake, what the hell are you doing?!" I whisper, looking around for anyone who might see me.
"Oh, c'mon, you can't tell me nothing is going to happen tonight. He suddenly gets the idea to take you on a 'special' date after four months together, and nothing will happen? Yeah right, so let's find you something sexy." Blake says, and my face turns beet red.
"I hate you." I mutter, and continue to look. Not long after Blake dragged me over here, I find a black silk slip with matching black panties and a bra. The slip has a little bit of red and black lace right around the breast area. "Here it is, let's go." I mutter, and quickly get to the till where Hayley is waiting for me. She sees the lingerie and giggles, shoving it in a bag.
"Oh, hun, you are so getting some tonight." Hayley mutters, and my jaw drops and my eyes widen to the size of saucers. Blake and Hayley just kill themselves laughing.
Hayley hands me my bag of clothes once I pay with my points, and we leave the store, heading back to the apartments. Just as Blake is about to go into her and Cole's apartment, I pull her into a hug.
"Thanks, Blake, for everything." I tell her, and she smiles as we pull away.
"Anything for you, A. Have fun tonight, use protection." Blake tells me, and I laugh.
"Protection for what?" A deep voice asks from behind me, and I feel arms slide around my waist from behind.
"Nothing." I say quickly, and Blake shuts the door, laughing her ass off. That girl is getting her ass kicked later.
"C'mon, I want to see what you got." Eric says, leading me towards my apartment.
We walk in, and I take the bag to my bedroom, hiding it in my closet.
"I can't see?" Eric asks, pouting, and I shake my head.
"Not unless you tell me where we're going tonight." I reply, and he shakes his head, smirking at me.
