My shift at the hospital is finally over, I slip out of my scrubs and into a little black dress and a pair of red ballet flats. I add some darkness to my plain work makeup and let my hair fall over my shoulders. The dress I am wearing is more revealing than my typical attire but it makes me look like a woman. I don't stop my mind from wandering to Tobias while I'm getting ready, even though I know should. He has a girlfriend and he's 10 years my senior. I remind myself that in Dauntless age is just a number.
I pull up to the pub, the spring air is cool but I know I'll warm up soon when the dancing starts. I order a drink and proudly flash my ID to the bartender. Christina quickly finds me and engulfs me into a happy birthday hug! Will and Uriah also embrace me after Christina finally releases me from her grasps. We find a spot at the bar by the band, they are still setting up when I catches Tobias's eye for the first time. I could swear he winked at me.
I scan the busy pub but I don't see Marlene anywhere. If I were dating Tobias I wouldn't miss a second of his show. We work at the hospital together. She if perfectly nice but a tiny part of me resents her for being with Tobias. The last time I saw Tobias I admitted to him that Peter and I were no longer seeing each other. We dated for a few years after initiation but it wasn't going anywhere.
The band starts to play and I easily get lost in the music. Christian, Uriah and I dance until we're short of breath. Will needs a couple more drinks until we can drag him onto the dance floor. I drink more than usual in celebration of my birthday and I'm feeling extra brave. I dance like no one is watching even though I know everyone is. When the band stops for a break my momentary disappoint disappears when I realize I still have yet to see Marlene.
I'm waiting in line by the small back bathroom when Tobias approaches me.
"Happy Birthday Tris" he exclaims pulling me into a bear hug.
"Thank you" I say, enjoying the moment of being wrapped in his arms
"You, Zeke and Eric sounds great tonight. I think we'll even get Will onto the dance floor later" I say with a laugh
"I'd pay to see that" Tobias says grinning
"I've seen everyone tonight except Marlene" I say "is she here? I'd love to catch up with her" I hope I don't sounds too pushy.
His eyes shift from mine.
"We're actually not seeing each other anymore" he says his voice dropping. Using the same words I used when I told him about Peter and I.
"I'm sorry to hear that" I say softly, giving him a sad smile.
At this he put his hand on the wall behind my left shoulder, slowly shrinking the gap between our bodies. His lips practically brushing my ear.
"Are you really?" he whispers coyly
I pause.
"No" I say in a barely audible voice
"Why is that?" Tobias asks, his hot breath on my cheek sending fire through my veins
I look up at him, his face closer than I was expecting.
"I think you know why Tobias" I say, looking away again
"I want to hear you say it" he whispers, this time his lips intentionally brush my ear
I inhale sharply at the feeling of his soft lips on me. I stand on my tiptoes so that my lips are now positioned by his ear.
"Because I like" I say so quietly I hope he doesn't hear me, but I know he does
"And what would you do if were to say I liked you too" he says and I can hear the smile in his voice
On a normal night I would probably take his hand or give him a kiss on the cheek, but tonight feels different. Instead of telling him what I would do I decide to show him.
With my left hand I reach behind me and push on the handle of the now vacant bathroom. I wrap my right arm around his neck, pulling us closer together and stumbling into the bathroom. As soon as the door closes he push me up against the wall. His hot breath moving rapidly against my cheek and ear. I feel him press a kiss to my ear and work his way to my lips.
I never dreamed that I would actually get to kiss Tobias let alone pressed together in a tiny bathroom. His kiss engulfs me and I pull him into me. One of his large hands travels from my neck, down my arm and to my hip. Deepening the kiss further he moves the hand on my hip behind me, lifting me off the ground. I wrap my legs around his hips and kiss him further. I run my fingers down his muscular back until I reach the hem of his tight black shift. Feeling brave again I slip my hand under it, breaking the kiss I lift his shirt over his head. It's been a long time since I've seen him shiftless, his muscles are more defined than the last time.
I run my hands across him toned chest and arms. His kisses me again with passion that shows no sign of letting up. I am holding myself up on him so his hands are free to roam. One hand slips over the front of my dress, softly and slowly kneading my left breast. I let out a quiet moan that causes him to bring his right hand to my chest as well. His hands feel so good on me I let my moaning get louder, not caring that we're in public.
I tighten my legs around him and for the first time I feel how hard he is through his pants. I shift my dress so it is no longer between us. I slowly start to move, rubbing my minuscule lace panties against the tent in his pants. He moans and I grind my hips into him further.
"Fuck you're hard" I pant as his hands continue to work their magic
He walks over to the sinks and sets me down. My legs are spread so that he is still in between them. His mouth never leaving mine. I feel him drop his right hand from my breast onto my thigh. Slowly he works his way up my legs, caressing my inner thigh. I moan again. He runs his fingers over my panties and I shiver.
"Oh god you're already wet" he shudders
Just as he's about to slip his fingers into my soaked panties the alarm on his watch goes off. We both huff frustratedly.
"Shit, I thought we more time" He says angrily "But Eric will kill me if I'm late"
"It's okay, maybe we can pick up where we left off another time" I say, giving him a quick kiss.
"I'm going to slip out, I'll see you on the dance floor. You better take a moment to adjust" I say, glancing down at the throbbing bulge in his pants. I wink at him and leave the bathroom.
