I stared up at my ceiling in the same position I had been in for the past three hours. Sleep would never come to me. "I'm going to be a zombie tomorrow but Myles with surely give me a break." I muttered. Oh, just forget it! I rolled over and stood up. I went out of my room and saw Myles, arms crossed, talking to Addren in a low and harsh voice. I stood there, two feet away from my wide open door staring at them.
"If you ever mess with her again, I swear I will disqualify you from the games and send you back home and publicize why you're back in District 4." Myles hissed.
"She's a little slut, though." Addren argued.
"Do you want your neck snapped?"
"No…sir."
"That's what I thought. Now, go to bed and stay out of my way." Addren walked stiffly back to his room.
"What was that all about?" I asked.
Myles looked at me, "You."
I went over to him and looked up at him. "It's fine. Don't worry about it." I said.
He grabbed my hand and held it up to his heart, "It's all done now." He leaned in and kissed me softly, and I kissed him back as my arms went around his neck and his hands on my hips. My back hit the wall as I ran my fingers through his hair. I put my hands on the back of his neck as Myles stopped kissing me and looked into my eyes.
"I love you, Danielle." He whispered.
"I love you, too Myles." I whispered back.
"Win the Games and come back to me." He said.
"I will. Just for you." I put my hands on the side of his biceps and up the sleeves of his shirt. That, sadly, was a lie to some extent, and it hurt me to lie to him. He didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve a girl who the Peacekeepers never cared for, and who did bad things to see people's reactions and not feel guilty about them. He deserved perfection and beauty, not someone who doesn't like people or is violent. And most of all, he didn't deserve a girl who also would like to have another man: the brooding bad boy with spikey blond hair from District Two, Cato. I kissed him again and he kissed me back. I put my hands up his shirt and felt his abs.
Make me forget about Cato. Make me forget about him, Myles.
He put his hands on the back of my legs and pulled me up off the ground. I slid my tongue down his throat and grabbed the front of his hair. Myles grinned.
We parted a few minutes later. "You need to go to bed." He said, breathless.
"Ok, let's go." I said.
"Believe me, I'd love to, but after the Games. Ok?"
"Fine." I grumbled. I kissed his check and got into bed. I may not be able to keep that, because what if Cato gets to me first? I wouldn't stop him, either. Sadly. What if Cato and I…messed around a little during the Games, and then Myles would see and he'd hate me forever. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt Myles, but I also wanted to have Cato. Life isn't fair, and I knew that. So I'd have to choose between the two of them. The Game Makers would be doing flips if someone had sex in the arena. The cameras would be all over us. It would be worse because he and I are careers from rival districts. The only thing that would top that ever is if the media ever found out about my relationship with Myles. If anyone found out about that, it would be hell for both of us. That was, technically, forbidden for some reason. I loved Myles, and he evidently loved me, too. But, I was drawn to Cato for some reason also. Why do they both have to so freaking sexy? I mean come on! I rolled my eyes and stared up at the ceiling. Sleeping was overrated.
Why couldn't one of them come in here and make me forget about the other? And by that, I meant make out with me or get me naked! I laughed at the thought of me having the slightest relationship with Cato. Maybe Addren had been right earlier, maybe I am a slut.
There was a knock at my door. I got up and opened it. Cato. Thank god.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hey." He said.
"Why'd you come up here?" I asked. He came in and sat on my bed.
"What happened earlier with Addren?"
"He accused me of having a thing for you and Myles and saying I should have a threesome." I said.
"Ew. Do you have a thing for me?" He asked. I froze and my heart went up my throat.
"Y-yes." I confessed.
He stood up and looked down at me. "Truth is… I've got a thing for you, too." He whispered.
"You do?" I asked feeling even more slutty.
He nodded. "Yup."
I smiled and stared into his blue eyes. "Prove it." I said as my arms went around his neck.
Cato grinned. "Gladly." He put his hands on my waist and kissed me. I am a slut. I kissed him back and ran my hands down his arms. He put his hands on my butt and I smiled. I laid down on my back with Cato on top of me in my bed. I ran my fingers through the back of his hair. I actually didn't feel bad because he was hot, and screw it, hotter than Myles.
Cato and I stopped. "Why'd you quit?" I asked, staring up at him.
"How about we continue this in the arena and give the game makers and ourselves an even bigger thrill?"
I grinned. "Whatever you want." I said. Cato grinned back. Leave it to me to jump into bed with the hottest tribute in the history of tributes.
"I'll see you then, hot stuff." He said. I grinned and kissed him.
"See you then." Hot stuff? YES! YES! YES! Cato had just called me hot stuff! I smiled as he closed my door back. Sleep was so going to be impossible now.
