Tris's Contenders

ch 9

Tris....I miss you- Eric
Tris. Text me.-Eric

I rub my thumb over my phone's screen making circular motions over the reply bar.

Hey. Sorry left my phone at home today. -Tris

It is 7 where have you been all day? -Eric

At my house. I forgot my phone under my pillow. -Tris

Okay. Tris what happened with Nita wasn't anything. She means nothing. She is nothing. And what I did idk what came over me.  -Eric

I don't know what to say. I really just do not want this. He is not what I want. My vision goes black and I relive the night that Eric showed me his true colors.

I lay in bed feeling the ghost of his touch. I had snuck back in from seeing Eric tonight and all I can focus my thoughts on is his warm rough hands caressing my sides. Remembering the trail of heat his hands left tingling my skin. He was finding all of me and my body loved every inch of his touch. I had stopped his hand at the edge of my bra and we looked at one another. He had looked at me with so much hunger in his eyes. I moved his hand up under my bra and he lost control kissing every ounce of my bare skin.

I open my eyes, sit up and slip my shoes back on. I need to see him. I get my legs out the window right when I hear my  door slowly open. "Tris what are you doing?" Caleb said starring at me with disappointment.

"I will be right back. Don't tell mom and dad." I take the jump before he can object and my feet hit the plush grass. I stare down the street towards Eric's place and break into a sprint. I know I told him I wasn't ready earlier, but I want his touch. I need his touch. I am going to give him my virginity. I want him to take me. All of me.

After running over a mile I find myself in front of his window. It is still open from when I climbed out about an hour ago. I reach up and pull myself in to see it dark. I am about to whisper his name when I hear it moaned instead.

My decision to whisper his name became an abrupt scream. "ERIC!"

"Tris!?" He jumps off of the girl in his bed and I can see his naked body glimmer with sweat in the small amount of moon light that peeked through. "Tris let me explain."

"You can't explain this Eric. It is pretty damn obvious."

The lights turn on and I see Nita wrapped in his black and red comforter that I had just been laying on an hour ago. She is a junior at our school and her curves out curve mine any day. "It. Is. Obvious sweetie." She says smiling.

"You. Shut up." Eric shoves her clothes at her as he pulls his pants on and her smile disappears. "Tris.."

I don't bother climbing out his window I just walk pass him and out his door. I head through his dark house finding the entrance door and make no effort to open it quietly.

I hear him running down the street after me and I tell my feet to keep going. He is faster then me and catches up quick colliding with me making us fall to the ground. "Don't touch me you asshole!" He has flipped me over pressing me into the ground holding my arms over my head with just one of his hands.

"Stop Tris! Stop!" His lip ring shines from the street light on the corner of Candor and Green. I see his eyes starring down at me with pain and I don't understand why. I am the one in pain not him, he did this not me.

A couple minutes pass and I have calmed myself. "Eric let me go." He stares at me for a few seconds longer before deciding to let my arms free. He gets off of me and holds out his arm to help me up. I ignore it and get up brushing dirt from my hands. "This is done Eric."
