So, we meet again huh?

Chapter six

After Eric and I talked, he and I walked down to the pit. His hand stayed on the small of my back while we were walking. His touch felt nice against my body and I tried not to blush. We made small talk about random things.
"I'm thinking of getting a couple tattoos tonight. What do you think?" I asked
"I think you'll look badass with a few tattoos on your body. Where you thinking of getting them?" He asked
"I was thinking the ribs, thigh, chest and somewhere else."
"That'll be cool. You should stop by after getting them and let me take a look." He suggested
"You know I will!" I smiled at him

Once we entered the pit we went our separate ways. I grabbed some fruit, a water, salad and a burger.
"Took you long enough! Where the hell were you?" Peter asked
"Eric wanted to talk to me about my sass. Told me I could lose points if I wasn't careful with my attitude" I said. Okay so I was kind of lying. He didn't mention points and he didn't scold me but I wasn't gonna tell him that in front of the others.
"Ahaha that sucks" as someone cleared their throat. "Oh right, Lily this is Sam, Luke, Arial, Mike and you know Tori. They're all Dauntless born."
"Hey, nice to meet you guys." I said shaking their hands
"Nice to see you again Lily." Tori said "you should come by the shop and let me tattoo you!"
"I was actually going to stop by and get a few tonight." I responded.
"Sweet! Let's head out then" Tori got up and dragged me with her.

"Alright what were you thinking about getting?"
"Well on my chest I want a geometrical human heart above my heart. On my thigh I want a bunch of roses. Then on my ribs a clock that says 'until the very end' and then lastly I want one on my hand and it's the Ulanome."
"Alright, let's get started!" Tori responded
The feeling of the needle on my skin was weird at first. I thought it would hurt more than it actually did. Once I got used to it it felt like the sun was kissing my skin. It was a warm burn, but not in a bad way.

By the end of the process I was so happy. They came out amazing. Like, really amazing.
"Oh my god Tori! These came out perfect! Thank you so much!"
"Anything for you! Thank you for sitting so well. You barely moved" she said and rubbed some cream on it
"What can I saw. I have a high tolerance of pain" I giggled "now I have to go show Eric,"
"Wait, are you THE Lily? The one Eric is friends with from Erudite?" Tori asked
"Yeah, how'd you know?" A little surprised
"He never shuts up about you! It's always 'Lily' this or 'Lily' that."
Wait, he talks about me? Like actually talks to me.
I couldn't keep the blush off my face
"So what's going on between you two?"
"Nothing, we're just fri- I mean, initiate and trainer, nothing else"
"Uh huh, sure. Keep telling yourself that," she smirked but before I could respond she butted in "I see the way you two look at each other. But be careful. Now go and show him, cause he can get impatient." She said

After waving by to Tori and leaving the shop, I couldn't help but think about what she said. Why did he talk about me? And what did she mean by the way we look at each other.
While walking down the hallways I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.
"Watch where you're going initiate," I heard a snarl
"Oh sorry," I said as I looked up
"Oh, Lily, didn't know that was you" Four said while smiling
"I was wondering if you've seen Eric? He asked me to meet him after I was done getting my tattoos" I smiled up at him
"I just left his place but he was passed out," he said.
"Oh okay, guess I'll head to the dorms and sleep,"
"Good idea, you'll need it tomorrow. Night Lily."
"Goodnight Four," I said while turning on my heal.

When I got back I tried to sleep. Really I did. I just couldn't will myself to. I kept thinking about what Tori had said. I sighed and looked at the clock. 1:45 it read. Well, I'm not sleeping anytime soon, so I pushed my sheets off and and grabbed my boots, walking out with them in my hands.
I walked for a little while and reached the chasm. I sat down and looked at the rushing water, trying to clear my head. My thoughts kept drifting back to Eric though.
"Not going to jump are you?" I heard a voice behind me, causing me to jump. I knew that voice anywhere
"Nah, not into the whole suicide thing, you know that." I said not turning around. I felt his presence sit next me
"What are you doing up?" Eric said as I finally looked at him
"Couldn't sleep, so I decided to go for a walk," I told him.
"Why didn't you come to mine after your tattoos?" He asked a little frown on his face
"Cause I ran into Four and he told me you had fallen asleep. I didn't want to wake you" I replied honesty.
"Well, let's head to mine. I wanna see and I'm not leaving you to your thoughts all alone" he he said while taking my hand, pulling me to stand and leading me down the hall
Once we arrived at his apartment I walked in and went right to the couch.

"Well let me see!" He said
"Okay, okay, give me a minute." I said "I have to pee!"
I got in the bathroom and remembered that o would have to take my shirt and pants off to show him them all. I mean, I wasn't nervous cause I shower and change in front of 25 other guys and girls. But Eric has never seen me like this.
I let out a huge breathe that I didn't even know I was holding.
"Well here it goes" I mumbled to myself while take off my shirt and pants leaving me in just my black bra and black underwear.
As I walked out Eric was at his desk looking at some files. So I cleared my throat so he'd turn around.
To say he was shocked to see me half naked was saying the least. His jaw was slightly dropped and I could see him swallow. He stood up and examined my new ink
"I-uh wow. They look good. So good." He said, his voice a little husky. He reached his hand out and looked at me for approval. I nodded my head and felt left his hands run across my ink. I shuddered under his touch. His hands were warm and I was suddenly cold.
We stared at each other and I saw his eyes flick to my lips.
"Are you cold?" He asked, it was barely above a whisper.
I couldn't form words so I just nodded my head. He pulled his hand away slowly, like it pained him to do so. He walked into his bedroom and came back less than a second later with a black sweater and some sweatpants. He handed it to me and I silently thanked him. He walked back over to the couch and patted the seat next to him.
I walked over and sat down.
"What about your tattoos? Can I see them?" I asked
He nodded his head and pulled off his shirt. I saw this intricate maze on his skin. I ran my figure along his skin a he shuddered.
I guess he could feel me staring cause all he said was "take a picture, it'll last longer" with his famous Eric smirk on his lips. I playfully shoved him and and smacked his head.
"You'd like that wouldn't you" I laughed.
"Will you read to me? Like you used to? You know it helped me sleep," I asked sheepishly
"Of course," he got up and grabbed a book
When he returned he got a pillow and put it on his lap, pulling me down so my head was against it.
"It's was the best of times, it was the worst of times" and that's the last thing I heard before I fell into a dreamless sleep
