A/N; Hello, my prettys. This is my 2nd story, and i just wanted to say that it will not be rated T all the way to the end. We all know Finnick was in the prostitution buisness, so that means it might become an M chapter a few times. I will warn you when there is an M chapter.

ANYWAYS. This story is about what Finnick and Annie had to go threw to get to where they are at the end of the books. It skipps and jumps around alot, so dont think I'll be writting it like its a day-by-day thing. Happy reading(;

I stole a quick glance at the small 6 year old girl next to me. Feet dug into the sand under the water; head back, tilted so perfectly to receive the light from the sun; eyes closed in enjoyment. I was only seven, but I knew I was a goner.

"Hey, Finnick?" her beautiful voice asked, gentle and kind like and angel.

"Yeah, Annie?"

"Do you believe in love?"

I was a bit shocked by her question. She was a year younger, so I didn't think she knew what love was yet.

When I didn't respond fast enough, Annie sighed and opened her gorgeous eyes, directing them at me.

"I mean... Do you think it's real? I don't see it from my mommy and daddy a lot, but your parents must be in love. They hug and kiss all the time."

This was very true. My parents hugged and kissed every day. It was gross.

"Yeah.. I guess I do believe in love." I say, smiling brightly in her direction. She blushed a pretty pink color, saying "Finnick Odair, are you saying you love me?"

"Only if you love me too." I respond, smirking and tilting my head to the right a bit.
Annie blushed a deeper color, grabbing my hand and smiling.

"Then I guess we love each other." she paused, looking out over the ocean, then she continued. "You... You don't have cooties, do you? Because my older sister told me boys have cooties. But you don't seem like the kind of boy who would have cooties."

I giggled while she talked. It was so cute the way she would rant about things so silly.

"Nope!" I replied, "No cooties on me!" Shaking my butt, I stuck out my tong to the right and smiled. Annie laughed, leaning in and kissing my cheek. I blushed deeply, wondering if we would one day kiss like my mommy and daddy do.

Leaning in, Annie whispered, "Do you think my parents will find out?"

"Not if we don't tell them." I smiled, hip bumping her gently. She giggled again, "I love you, Finnick Odair."

Okay, this was my chance. Just do what daddy does with mommy. Nice and easy.
I leaned in and kissed Annie, right on her lips. She pulled away in shock, and then blushed again, hiding her head in her chest.

"I love you, too, Annie. Now common! Let's go tell my older brother that we're in love!"

A/N; AWW. Puppy love.(:
