Having Eric confess his love to me was a happy memory. As I woke up I was filled with warmth beyond compare; it was if the sun was shining from within me. Ok maybe I'm over exaggerating but the idea is still the same. Anyway, I woke up to a peachy dawn flooding in the apartment, with a heavy weight on my stomach. Slowly I peeled open my eyes to see Eric sleeping soundless next to me, his arm slung over me protectively. His face was in my direction and he looked peaceful. If I had ever though a when I was first in here that this would happen I would have never believed it. However here I am, and here I'm happy.
Eric groaned, shifting around before his eyes too opened; a smile gracing his lips. I stared into those grey orbs becoming captivated in an instant. "Morning love" his voice rumbled. My heart melted at his pet name, singing to the harmony only angles could hear.
"Morning" I whispered, grinning like mad. "How are you this fine morning?" I giggled with my question."
Eric rolled over onto his back, slipping an arm behind me back and bringing me close to him so I was tucked in the junction between his arm and shoulder. His breathing was even as his hand stoked through my blonde locks. "Very good Tris. Probably the happiest I've felt in a long time. The warmth I wanted all my life, I finally found. It's you Tris." His words tugged my heart strings. I ran a hand lovely over the plains of his chest as he continued. "If I'm being honest Tris, it's always been you. I hated Four and you relationship. I hated the way you were in initiation but I always loved you."
I lifted my head up to gaze at him, my hand going to caress his cheek. "You mean I could have had all this so much earlier" I huffed but he knew I was joking. He too my hand on his cheek, engulfing it with his own; relishing in the warmth my hand gave.
Suddenly our precious moment was cut short when a knock sounded on his door. With a sigh Eric got up, replacing his boxers before stropping over to the door. I watched him, bringing the sheets up to cover me. "What?" Eric snapped as the door opened.
"I need to find Tris, she didn't come back from meeting her brother last night." Shit! It was Christina. Panic started to settle into me and I jumped out of bed shoving my clothes on. "Eric please, can I come in this would be easier if I wasn't in the corridor." My wide eyes glanced to the bathroom they only secure place to hide. It was too far and I had to cross the door to get to it, so that was a no.
"Certainly" I heard Eric say. He was being the arse he always was, just knew he wanted me to be caught out. With one leg in my pants I was hopping, my underwear and bra thankfully on.
"Tris?!" Christina's voice startled me and I fell onto the bed, my cheeks inflamed in embarrassment. "Tris?" she said even more. There she was standing in Eric's apartment with the best view of me lying on his bed after falling, very exposed.
I got up, pulling the rest of my jeans on. I ran over to her hugging her tightly so I could explain; it was the best way. "I can explain." She was rigged in my arms but her huff indicated for me to continue. "Basically when I came up her to die Eric told me he wanted me. We had sex, really good sex." I glanced to Eric who winked and I blushed once again like a little school girl. "Our relationship as fuck buddies continued and it was just so nice for me to have some fun you know. Something with Four happened, he nearly assaulted me and Eric saved me. Then he took me away and feelings started to happen but I brushed them off. Then my mum died, I thought I was pregnant but I'm not. I embarrassed myself before being on speaker phone in front of the faction leaders confessing my love for Eric then I fell asleep. I came here yesterday after seeing my brother and Eric loves me too." My words were such a rush I didn't know if she heard them all. It wasn't until she moved out of my embrace and stared at me I knew she heard me.
"Love? Eric?" She said slowly as if processing. I nodded and she turned to Eric. "You love Tris?"
"Always have."
Then I was surprised. Christina ran to Eric giving him a hug. "You fucking hurt her like Four and I will personally castrate you before I feed you your dick understand." Eric nodded actually a little afraid of her tiny frame. "And you" she turned to me. "How fucking dare you keep that assault from me? Did Four hurt you? Why didn't you come to me when you thought you were pregnant? Was he the mysterious guy I smelled your knickers because off?
I heard Eric mumbled under his breath. "Sniffed her knickers?"
"It wasn't a big deal, plus I thought you would hate our relationship." I was honest and it finally felt good to get stuff off my chest.
"You're really love him?"
"I've fallen."
"Oh Tris" she hugged me with tears in her eyes. "You deserve to be happy again. Oh my what about everyone else? They need to know" she said in a babble.
"No, not yet" I almost screamed. She huffed again but I gave her a pointed look. "Please just not yet Chris."
"Fine but you owe me. Like one of these new bra's you keep wearing, they look good by the way." She waved her hands at my boobs and I instantly crossed my arms over trying to shield them but failing.
"Fine. Thank you." I gave her a kiss on the cheek before she turned to walk out the apartment. "See you later and we'll talk more."
"Yeah defiantly Tris." She winked with a smile before leaving.
I sighed with relief just as Eric's arms encircled my waist, bringing me into his chest. "You do know she will be planning our wedding now" I laughed.
"As long as it's a good one I don't mind."
I looked up at him, his gaze on me. "Did you just propose Eric Coulter?"
"No. But one day. One day we'll get married and have kids. I told you I've wanted you for so long now. I love you Tris. I will take care of you until the day I die."
