Chapter 13
Tris' P.O.V
I just kissed a multi-billionaire. Swoon.
The next morning I wake up to my alarm playing the song "Closer" by Halsey, ahh the feels. With a smile on my face, I get up and reach Dauntless Enterprise, all before the clock hits 6:00 am, as requested by the one and only Four.
Mmm... Four. I haven't ever been this happy since I first found out about my mom's breast cancer, two years. Oh god those two awful years, heading into bed with tears, masking the pain, covering my scars. Screw Peter and Breast Cancer. Thankfully I got to meet Tori and Christina, the ones who got me up onto my feet, unmasking my true potential.
Peter… Peter was my boyfriend throughout college, he was sweet, loving, and caring at first. He took me out on sweet little dates, and surprised me with beautiful flowers, poems, and all the cheesy lovey-dovey crap. We had been dating for 3 years then, and he wanted a little more, he knew I wasn't ready and said he would wait forever as long as he me. Fucking bullshit. Then something changed in him, in senior year of college he made some new friends and changed. Completely.
I arrive at Four's office, through the back entrance, slightly worried about our current situation. Many if not all, know about his strict no dating co-workers policy. But it's one of the reason his company has become so large, due to absolute, no distractions. Fuck.
"Hey Tris." I jump, startled by his sudden presence.
"Hey." I say giving an awkward wave. God what's wrong with me.
"I have your first assignment ready, I want it to be completed and on my desk by noon today, no exceptions." He demands in his strict Four tone. Then dropping a stack of papers and files into my arms.
"Your office is over there in the right corner, you have access to the mac desktop computer, and the instructions for your task is written in the files." He says then heads straight to his office, slamming the door behind him.
Jerk, I murmur to myself, he was being so nice to me before, wonder who spit in his morning coffee. I walk over to my new office hidden in the corner and look around, my eyes land on the crystal clear glass wall to my right, with breathtaking views of the city and then ocean to the left, the ocean still looking gloomy in the early morning weather.
I get situated on the comfy white leather chair, and get started on reading the files. Oh, so this is what the file Tori gave me to deliver to Four was about. Tori wants to form a partnership with Dauntless Enterprise for Benefit Fitness, to take Benefit Fitness to the next level, a worldwide chain.
Also attached to the folder is a brief page covering lunch breaks, normal breaks, work policies and rules, etc.
I work on typing up the all the notes on and about the project, as well as, type up important details from the pre-recorded meeting audio.
As I complete the last of my notes, I see the clock strike 11:59. Damn that was close...File...Print.
I place the neat stack of notes into a manilla folder. I walk up to his desk and see his hand ruffling through his hair. His tie loosened and shirt unbuttoned, his abs peeking through the fabric. Yikes, he looks stressed… and hot. Stay professional Tris, he is just your boss at work, nothing else.
I place the folder on his desk and he looks up from his computer, a little grin appearing.
"Hey Four, got the notes done as requested." I say spotting him a smile.
"Nice. Did you want to take your lunch break now? I was just going to go make some pasta in the kitchen, you should tag along." Ahh. Someone had a change of heart, kinda liked intimidating Four though.
"I'd be honored." My grin now reaching my ears.
I watch as prepares the pasta, his muscles rippling against his shirt. I watch as his tie almost catches on fire, but he is quick to move away from the burner.
"Here let me get that." I say heading over to him, my hand wrapping around his neck as I loosen the tie further and pull it off him.
"Thanks." His face only a few inches away from my face. "Oh fuck it, we're on break." He says before slamming his lips onto mine, startling me. His lips move against mine in perfect sync. His tongue slides against my lips begging for access. Of course I oblige, parting my lips. His tongue massages mine, erupting a soft moan from me.
We pull away, catching our breaths, while he catches a few sweet pecks on my cheeks. "Mmm. I love doing that." Four says his lips still glistening from our make-out session.
I feel my cheeks heat up in response. "You seemed stressed earlier, did something happen?" I say my curiosity getting the best of me.
"Just some work stuff. Plus I'm always come off as intimidating to my new employees, have to keep them in check. But I think you'll take care of yourself just fine."
"Well… I have to say intimidating Four is kinda sexy… I might get distracted." I banter.
"Yeah you think so? Maybe you should keep it in your panties, at least until your lunch breaks that is." He winks, then throwing me over his shoulder and ruffling my hair.
"Put me down! I think the pasta is ready." I say changing the topic, getting distracted by the delicious aroma of herbs.
"We'll continue this later," He teases.
We spend the next 30 minutes devouring our food and talking just about anything. Our conversations flow easily and he's always making me laugh. These next few months are going to be great.
Four P.O.V
"So, I was wondering are you free Friday night?" I ask as we finish up our lunch.
"Yeah, I think so. How come?" I saw with a wink, knowing where this conversation is going.
"Thought we'd go on our first date." He says seeming nervous?
"I'd love to. Who knew The Four would every be my… boyfriend." Hmm. I like the sound of that.
"And who knew I would ever meet a girl as special as you… strong, sweet, caring… the list goes on."
