Stay

Chapter Fourteen...

"What are you doing here?" he asks with a smirk as he walks up to his desk. I put my feet down and sit up straight. "Are you lying to me?" I ask and his eyes flash with nervousness and confusion. "What?" he asks. We sit there in his office not saying a word just looking at each other. "I was cleaning up and leaving you notes around your house and I walked by your closet and saw a bra and I opened the drawer and saw a few more. What are they for? Whos are they?" I ask leading back in the chair. Tobias takes in a deep breath and looks down. I feel my heart leave my chest and fall into my stomach. My face falls and I feel a tear on the brim of my eye. I stand up and take my coat off the back of the leather chair. I walk to the door and Tobias stands up and takes my hand. "Tris, those are probably Lauren's. I use a small part of my closet and I probably didn't check if she left her stuff," he tells me as he looks into my eyes. I wanna believe him but I'm not sure. "When Lauren and I ended things we quickly dived into a relationship after you and I called it quits I busied myself in work and tried to forget about my love life. I swear to you I have not talked to Lauren since that night at the mall. The night-" I cut Tobias off and finish his sentence. "We met." I kiss him. His hands run down my back and stop at my waist. I wrap my arms tightly around his neck and that seems to intensify the kiss. He slides his tongue in and it quickly comes back out when we hear a knock at the door. "One minute!" Tobias shouts. I get my coat and put it on over the exposing dress. Tobias runs to his desk chair and takes a seat. I kiss his cheek and whisper something in his ear. He gives me one last smirk before I turn around and walk out. "Mr. Eaton is ready for you," I say insolently with a sweet smile. I walk down the hallway with confidence and step into the elevator. I pull out my phone and text Christina.

It's a quarter till five and is just now leaving Chris's apartment and walking over to mine. I drove back to my complex after my confrontation with Tobias. Chris and I sat down and talked about everything that's happened, both of us sharing stories. I also explain to her what to expect at her bachelorette party. The look in her eyes I thought she was gonna cry. I pull out my keys and let myself in. Tobias comes to mind as I think about what to make for dinner. I decide to go over to his place and make him something. I change into loose ripped jeans and a bandeau top. I keep my heels on and throw a cropped jean jacket on top. I keep my hair curly and my makeup the same. I pack an overnight bag contains makeup remover wipes, hair ties, a toothbrush, toothpaste and work clothes for tomorrow. I get my charger and lock my apartment door and head out to my car.

I turn onto the street of Tobias' penthouse and look at the clock. 5:34. Just enough time for me to cook something for dinner. I turn into the parking lot and find an empty spot near the front of the building. I get out and pick up my bag from the passenger's seat. I'm walking towards the door when I hear my name being called by a high-pitched voice. "TRIS?!" I turn around and there stands Nita, my awful co-worker. I roll my eye and turn back around signaling that I don't wanna talk to her. "What are you going here?" she asks as she catches up to me. "I'm here to see my boyfriend," I say blandly. "You have a boyfriend?" she laughs. I keep walking towards the door until I hear, "A slut like you can't get a boyfriend. So who are you screwing?" I turn on my heel and walk back to her. It's so quiet all you can hear is my pointed toe heels on the pavement. "I'm the slut? Really? I'm not the one who works part-time at a lingerie store and pole dances on the weekends." I turn back around and walk into the complex leaving Nita, hopefully, stunned. I approach the elevator and hit the 'up' button on the wall. I pull out my phone from my pocket to check the time and it reads 5: 41. I walk into the elevator and push the button for the top floor, Tobias' floor. As the door opens I start to think of what I could make that would be quick and easy considering Tobias will be home in about 20 minutes. I take off my jean jacket and throw it on my overnight bag that's now sitting in the corner of his master bedroom. I return downstairs and head straight for the kitchen to begin cooking.

I'm cooking noodles and chopping up tomatoes when my phone rings. I put the knife down and look at my phone that sits on the island. Tobias' name glows on the phone and I feel a smile come to my lips. I press the green button and put him on speaker. "Hi," I say sweetly. "Hey baby" he answers. I let out a giggle and smile. "I wanted to know what you were doing for dinner and if you aren't busy I'd love it if you came over," he says and I hear a car door close. "Are you leaving your office?" I ask hoping to drop the dinner topic and not ruin the surprise. "Ya, I should be at my place in about 10 mins if you wanna meet me there I could pick up a pizza if you want." Damnit. "Babe I'm sorry, but I made plans with Marlene so I cant." I hate lying to him especially after what happened last year but I don't wanna ruin this surprise. "Oh ok" I can hear the hurt in his voice. "I guess I'll just make something when I get home" he informs me. "I'm sorry babe," I say holding back a laugh knowing he'll be stunned when he sees me here.

I'm looking for bowls in the kitchen when I hear the elevator ding. I open the cabinet on the left in the island and grab two bowls. I scoop the noodles with tomatoes, chicken, mushrooms, onions, and spinach into the bowls and place them in front of the two chairs at the island. "Hello?" Tobias calls. I pour some expensive red wine into glasses and run into the living room. "Hi," I say leaning on a chair. His head quickly turns at the sound of my voice. Tobias' whole face lights up when his eyes meet mine. He sets his briefcase down and walks towards me. I walk to him and when we meet in the middle he picks me up at the waist and kisses me. Tobias' massive arms wrap around my torso as my small arms wrap around his neck. He pulls back and smiles. "What are you here? I thought you had plans?" He asks. I peck him on the lips and he sets me down. I walk into the kitchen and sit down at the island. "I made dinner" I smile and he sits down beside me. "I wanted pizza" he jokes. I laugh and kiss him again. I think back to the incident in the parking lot about twenty minutes ago. Should I tell him? It's not that big a deal, right?
