Hey guys this is my first fanfic soo please be nice to me and obviously I don't own THG because if I did Gale and Katniss would have ended up together. Ok enough chit-chat enjoy.
The Bet
It was the beginning of the opening ceremonies for the 75th annual Hunger Games. I'm dressed in nothing but a net tied at my groin. I want to go home to District 4. I want to swim in the ocean one last time. I miss Annabelle Cresta – the love of my life. I wish I was with her but instead I'm petting horses and eating sugar cubes.
"Hey Finn," Johanna says. She's dressed like a giant tree. District 7 lumber it makes sense but it's still stupid.
"Hey Jo," I reply.
"Want to bother Fire Girl?" she asks. Of course I'm not surprised she asked me this she always has been one to play practical jokes.
"Ooohh sounds interesting."
"Ok let's make a bet whoever makes her the most uncomfortable wins," she explains.
"Alright you're on," I say grabbing some more sugar cubes –who cares about the horses anyway? "What happens when I win?"
"Uh…I don't know I'll give you a strip tease," she says.
" shouldn't that be the penalty for if I lose?" I ask jokingly.
"Very funny Finnekins, Oh I forgot you're taken by the mad girl," Johanna says slapping her forehead.
"She's not-"
"Yeah yeah of course not," Jo says. "Okay I got it whoever loses has to walk around the floors of the training center naked."
"You got yourself a deal, start stripping Mason,"
Johanna snorts.
I walk over to Katniss. She looks at me and snorts in disgust -probably because of my out fit but then again I don't really blame her.
"Hello Katniss."
"Hello Finnick."
"Want some sugar?" I say in my well-practiced seductive tone or, as Annie likes to call it my Capitol voice.
"Uh…no thank you but I'd love to borrow your outfit sometime," she says sarcastically.
"Okay," I answer. I begin to slowly untie my knot.
"OH MY GOSH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Katniss yells.
"You said you wanted to borrow my outfit…" I say handing her my net, leaving me in the buff -not that I mind. "So hear you go."
She stares at me with her mouth and eyes wide open.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU! PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON!" she yells.
"Wow usually I get request to take my clothes off," I say sarcastically. "But if you say so."
I just finish tying my net when I see Peeta coming towards us.
"Well it was nice meeting you," I tell her popping a sugar cube in my mouth and walking towards Johanna.
"Nice one Odair," she says between fits of laughter.
"You're on after the ceremonies Mason," I tell her.
"Deal,"
Ok so now its Johanna's turn to make Fire Girl –sorry Katniss- uncomfortable. I wonder what that psycho has in store. I have a feeling that I lost this bet but for now im walking towards the elevator.
"Ah much better," says a familiar voice.
I walk closer to the elevator and see Jo, Katniss and Peeta inside. Jo has taken off her tree costume and she apparently wants wearing anything underneath. She winks at me as I walk inside.
"Katniss, Peeta. Hey you guys look amazing. I love your outfits. Cinna's a genius, unlike my stylist. She sucks, why is she even a stylist? Well anyway it's better than that awful red dress you wore on the Victory Tour I literally wanted to rip it off you red is definitely not your color." Johanna blabs.
Peeta's laughing so hard his face is as bright as cherry tomato and he's basically crying. I'm holding back laughter. Katniss is staring at Jo wide-eyed.
She looks at me and mouths "Help me,"
I shake my head.
"Please," she mouths.
Peeta's now laughing like a mad scientist and Johanna's still blabbing.
"Finnick please tell your girlfriend to put on her tree," Katniss pleads out loud this time.
"She's not my girlfriend," I explain to Katniss "My girlfriends name is-"
"Oh baby don't deny it you know you love me," Johanna says jumping on me.
"Uh…no I'm in love with-"
"ME!" Jo says jumping off me. Now she's on her knees.
"No I love-"
Before I'm aware of what's happening I see my net fall to the ground. Katniss is staring at me mouth and eyes wide open. Peeta's still laughing he's on the floor by now.
"Oh my gosh!" Katniss screams. She's blushing and I catch her sneaking an occasional peek.
When she looks again I put me hands behind me head, wind my hips and say, "You like what you see?"
She blushes and turns around sheepishly.
"I think the elevator's stuck," Peeta announces –Finally he stopped laughing I was getting worried.
Katniss and I groan in unison.
"YAY! Now me and Finnekinns can spend some time together," Johanna says.
Before I can stop her she's on top of me kissing me lips and pulling my hair.
"JO STOP!" I say pushing her away.
"Why?"
"Because I love Annie" I announce.
"Annie Cresta?" asks Peeta.
"Who?" questions Katniss.
"Annabelle Cresta. Victor of the 70th Hunger Games and the love of Finnicks life. I simply refer to her as 'the mad girl' " Johanna explains.
"I don't think she's mad just traumatized," Peeta says.
"Thank you," I say to him. "She just gets confused sometimes that doesn't make her crazy,"
"That's exactly what I think," Peeta agrees.
"Finnick?" a voice says.
"Yeah,"
"Can you put your net back on?" I recognize the voice as Katniss.
"No I have to make you as uncomfortable as possible," I reply.
"Why?"
"So I can win the bet," I say simply.
"Johanna wins. Now please get dressed," Katniss pleads.
"Sure thing,"
I put my net back on.
"Thanks,"
"You're welcome,"
I feel the elevator go up again.
"Did you guys feel that?" Peeta asks.
"Hell yeah," Johanna cheers.
The elevator opens on my floor.
"Well nice meeting you two," I say.
"OH NO FINNICK YOU STILL HAVE TO-" Johanna yells after me but the elevator closing cuts her off.
I walk into my room and shower all the glitter off.
"Hey babe what took you so long?" asks Annie. She agreed to be and Mags's mentor for the Quarter Quell.
"Elevator got stuck," I tell her.
"Oh," is all she says. She thinks I'm lying. What else is new? She thinks I was with a "client".
I grab her chin and tilt it up.
"Honestly Ann,"
"Ok," she says skeptically.
"Annie would I ever lie to you?" I ask.
"YES! You have before and how do I know you're not lying to me right now? Just tell me the truth, were you with one of your little Capitol ninnies? I won't get mad! But if you like to me I will?" Annie yells.
"Babe c'mon I don't want to fight," I plead.
"Of course not I'm going to my own room," she says getting up but I grab her arm.
"Babe come on you know you're the love of my life right?"
"I'm sorry were you talking to me or one of your Capitol chicks that so happen to have the same name as me?" she asks bitterly.
"Ann stop!" I plead.
She releases my grip on her elbow and walks towards the door.
"Bye Finn. I'm sick and tired of you lying to me," she says walking out of the door.
Did she just break up with me? Oh forget it I think to myself. I just go to sleep and have dream about Annie.
