Ch.17: Work Hard

Tris POV: 

Tobias knocks on my door. 
"Go away Tobias." Christina and I yell in unison. 
I hear him curse and I laugh. 
"Man, he really wants you bad." Christina says. 
"And I don't care. He's not gonna get me back that easily." 
"I'm tired of doing homework. We've been at it for hours." 
"Only two." I say. 
"You sound like Will." 
"That's not good." 
We laugh.
"Hey. Wanna go to the Dauntless Diner?" I ask Christina. 
She nods. 
We change and walk out the door. 
"BOO!" Tobias yells. 
I pin him against the floor with his hand behind his back. He starts laughing and Christina does too. 
I let him go. 
"Tobias, you know better than to scare me." I say laughing. 
He gets up still laughing. 
"Yea. I know. That's why I did it." 
I roll my eyes and walk off with Christina. Tobias catches up to us. 
"Where you guys headed?" He asks us. 
"The nail salon." I say at the same time Christina says, "The mall."
We look at each other. 
"The mall." I say at the same time Christina says, "The nail salon." 
We both sigh. 
"The Dauntless Diner." We say at the same time. 
Tobias laughs. 
"Fine, I'll call Will and we'll call it a date." He says. 
"No you, jerk-off. It's a simple dinner." I say.
"Call it what you will sweetheart. But I'm calling it a date." 
He calls Will. 
"Hey Will. Tris wanted me to invite you to dinner. What? Oh, yea. Sure. Okay." 
He hangs up. 
"3, 2, 1." Tobias counts and Will runs up to us. 
"Hey guys." Will says. 
"Hey." Christina and I say. 
"Can we move now?" I ask. 
We start laughing and we walk into Dauntless Diner. While we are eating our food, I zone out. 
"Tris, do you love Dauntless Cake? And say it loud." She says to me in a whisper. 
"I do?" I say in a questionly manner. 
"Okay." Tobias says smiling. 
He goes up on the stage for Dauntless Diner, takes off his shirt, and starts doing the 'Grind on Me.' 
When he's done, I realize I was staring at him the whole time when he winks at me. 
I let my hair cover my face and I bite my lip. I am blushing really hard.

"Didn't Tobias look hot on the stage?" Christina asks me once we are back in our dorms. 
"Yes, but it doesn't mean I am taking him back so soon." I reply. 
"So you are taking him back?" 
"No, not necessarily. Maybe." 
I hear a faint 'yes' beyond the front door. 
"Go home Tobias." I say. 
He pretends to leave. I open the door. 
"Go home Tobias." I say with a smile on my face.
Genuine.
