Tris's Contenders

ch 16

Four POV

I had sat there watching her disappear into the trees. I don't even know what came over me, but I do know I want it to happen again. It all felt so right. Her mouth on mine. Her body against mine. The images won't disperse from my mind and the whole walk home all I wanted to do was run through the woods and take her in my arms. Take her away from here to where we can be alone together and indulge in one another.

I sit on the edge of my bed dressed and ready to leave for school. Rubbing my neck I make my hand's way to my hair and feel her hands running through it. The door swings open, I look up to see Marcus standing in the mouth of the door. "You should be leaving by now son."

"I am." I say it as I get up and grab my backpack. I get to the doorway and he doesn't move. I haven't put much effort into noticing our heights, but I stand the same height if not taller in front of him.

He brings his hand to me shoulder. "I do all this to make you better Tobias." I just look at him until his hand falls and he turns around letting me pass.

Getting into my car I take out my phone and see a message from Lauren.

I'm ready.-Lauren

You should drive yourself to school today. -Four

You are kidding me right!?
What has been with you this week?-Lauren

Nothing I just think you should take yourself to school. I'm running a little late. -Four

Whatever. You owe me a real explanation later. -Lauren

I rack my brain trying to understand why exactly it is that I don't feel guilty for technically cheating on Lauren. Maybe I was right all along; I am with her to just pass the time, but I don't really have any feelings for her. She is fun to fool around with, but I don't want that. I don't want her.

--------------------------------------------------------

I park in my normal spot and as I am getting out Zeke runs up to me. "Man what did you do to piss Lauren off?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean… the moment I saw your car pulling in I ran to give you warning because she is beyond pissed at you. She came in cussing and every other word was ‘Four’ and any minute she should...”

"What the hell Four! I thought you were running late!?" Lauren stalks up to me and Zeke gives me a concerned look as he bows back.

"I thought I was."

"No! The other day you left me at school and now today! What is up with you! Ever since school started you have been different!" She is screaming at me which has definitely brought us a large audience of all our friends including Zeke’s brother and his friends.

"Would you just calm down? Please."

"No I won’t CALM DOWN! I want to know why you are being different!"

"I'm not." I say shrugging my shoulders. I know it is a lie at least to her I have been acting different. Distant.

"Bullshit." She shoves her hands into my chest pushing me back against my car. I see Zeke back farther away as she continues to pummel her hands into my chest.

Irritation builds up inside me and I grab her wrists. It is time to end this show. "Stop." I throw her hands down and she stares at me with hot tears in her eyes. "You are right I have been acting different. Only to you though. And you know why?" I pause waiting to see if she answers, but she just stands there. "Because you are a self-centered, spoiled little girl and this" I move my index finger from me to her, "is over. I'm done. We are done." Everything is quiet and I see peoples’ mouths hanging open. She walks up to me and before I can stop it her hands flies through the air and meets my cheek. Stinging pain surges through my face and the whole crowd makes "oh" or "owe" sounds. She stomps away crying as her followers cling to her.

"Well that escalated real quickly." Zeke walks back up to me patting me on the back.

"Apparently." I say half laughing as I rub my cheek. "Let's get inside."

----------------------------------------------------------------

I lay my head down in homeroom ignoring the chatter all around me. I can hear the gossip starting to extend about my break up with Lauren. I shut my eyes and try to focus on anything, but their words. Her voice eases into my mind “Tobias”. I feel my whole body vibrate at her saying it. “Tobias”. I replay it imagining all the ways I could make her say my name. Every where I could kiss her to make her moan. Taste her. Touch her. Feel her. “Tobias.” “Tobias.” “Tobias.”

My body gets jerked back and Professor Smith or as everyone else calls him Bud looks down at me. He is wearing a plaid shirt with half the sleeves rolled up exposing his vast amount of tattoos. Just at his elbow flames reach around burning a cross that is bleeding followed by someones entitles.  “Tobias. The bell rang, homeroom ended a few minutes ago.”

“Oh shit.” I look up at him wide eyed as I just realized I cursed in front of him.

He laughs. “That’s right ‘oh shit’ now get to class Tobias.”

“Ugh Bud I told you it’s Four.” I say exchanging another laugh.

“Not on my roster it’s not.”

I turn down the hall from Bud’s classroom and see Uriah and Marlene holding hands. I give them a nod and Uriah taps his cheek and laughs. I haven't seen Tris today, not in the halls or at her locker. She hasn't texted me after she left this morning and I'm worried she is regretting everything. Walking down hall A I see Chris cuddled up with her boyfriend against the lockers. "Hey Chris." Her and Will look at me with questioning stares and then I see a smile scan across Chris's face.

"Tris isn't here today."

I smile and look down to my feet as my cheeks grow hot. "Okay. Um where is she?"

"Um." Her smile has faded and her eyes are shooting from side to side. Then it dawns on me that Eric hasn't been around today either.

"She's with Eric."

"Yeah."

With that I start to walk towards my locker and dig in my pocket for me phone. Hot and cold are mixing inside me and I can’t tell which is worse. My mind fells hot with anger and red thoughts as my body feels cold like it is shutting down. Looking at my phone my vision his shaky or maybe it is my hands that can’t stay still.

Hey where are you? –Four

Tris POV

His kiss sends fire through my lips and I can’t stop moving my lips to his. I can taste the strawberries on his tongue, so sweet and so tart. He picks me up from the chair and without breaking our kissing he carries me up the stairs to his bedroom. He gently lays me down on his bed. He looks down at me out of breath and smiles as he leans his head down placing his lips on my neck. My whole body wakes up. Shivers of excitement scatter through me. His lips trail down my neck going lower and lower until the reach the neck line of my tank top. He lifts up my shirt keeping his eyes fixed to mine and starts kissing down my stomach. I break our eye contact as a moan escapes my mouth and I clench his blanket from the pleasure.

I hear my phone go off and Eric pauses as I reach into my pocket to look at it. His hand stops mine "Ignore it." My breathing is quick and my mind is blank. His hand moves to the button on my shorts without trouble they come unbuttoned. I lift up and he pulls them off of me looking at my black cotton panties. He traces the top with his index finger and before he goes any farther he moves up to me kissing me hungrily. He pulls away and I feel the cool air touch me there and then his lips. I throw my head back moaning from the erotic pull he is having on me. As I reach down to run my fingers through his hair Tobias's face flashes in my mind. The memory of him pulling me to him and the feeling of his warm hold on me. He sets something off in me and I try to push his image away, but he keeps appearing and before I can even think to stop myself I moan his name.

"Tobias."
