Chapter #4

"What kind of woman do you think I am?" I ask him.

"Woman? Are you sure that such a strong word is a right definition for you?" He asks with a smirk.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Seriously, why are you bothering me?"

He stares at me with a mischievous look. I feel myself blushing again so I start staring at the floor.

"I don't think I am bothering you. I just imagined that you had a rough day, and thought of helping you calm down." He answers.

I honestly don't know why his words made me feel so comfortable, and I hesitantly accepted his offer. I told him I wouldn't receive him in my room, but we could go somewhere else. After a few minutes of walking we entered a wagon that looked like a living room. It had a really fancy couch and even a TV. He sat down on the couch, but I decided to keep my distance and sit on the floor. He started pouring vodka in two glasses and set them on a small table. He started drinking, but I just stood silent for minutes. Finally, like always, he broke the silence.

"I am starting to believe you hate me." He simply said.

"I don't hate you. Honestly, I feel nothing for you. You could say that I nothing you" I said with honesty.

"Well, that's a shame." He responded." Any kind of emotion whether good or bad is a good sign. I will just have to start being more flirty with you."

"What are you talking about?" I ask with confusion.

"I am going to be pretty straight forward." He said, and made a pause before speaking again. "I feel very attracted to you. You are quite hot, but you must already know that."

"You have only known me for a couple of hours" I answer with surprise and a bit of anger.

"My attraction to you was extremely quick. Just like a click, and I can't help feeling like I have known you for my whole life." He said without looking at me.

"The feeling is not mutual." I said coldly. "Now, if you excuse me I will return to my room."

I started to get up, but just as I was making my first step towards my room, Flynn took my wrist. I struggled to set myself free, but it seemed impossible. In a blink of an eye, I was sitting on his lap. I look directly into his eyes and said, "Please, just let me go! You Idiot!"

"That is not possible, not now not ever." He said

I was extremely confused, and angry. And just when I was about to start fighting again, He gave me a quick kiss on my right cheek. I tried to be strong, but I blushed anyway. He obviously took advantage of my confusion, and pressed his lips against mine. He deepened the kiss, but at that time I was not able to kiss him back.

"Why would you not respond to my kiss?" He boldly asked.

I was still in shock. I mean, what the hell had just happen right here!

"I won't kiss with passion someone I don't love" I said while tears were starting to stream down my face. I couldn't help crying. The kiss just brought me memories of Belmont. At my words, Flynn immediately let me go.

"You know that you are just making me fall deeper into you." He said.

I ignored his final words, and started running towards my room. In my way, I was drowning in my own sea of thoughts. Flynn is a capitol man. Why is he interested in a plain girl from District 5? I mean, I am sure that more than one girl will be willing to be with him. Is he playing with my emotions? Is he only expecting to take advantage of me? Is he conscious that in a few weeks I will probably be dead?

I kept on thinking until I finally reached my bed. Thankfully, I didn't have a single drink, and I was very lucid. At the end, I was truly tired and finally fell asleep.

The next morning, I heard knock on my door again, but I was reassured when I heard Cressida's voice telling me to get up and join them in the dinning wagon. I suddenly, got up and started searching for something to wear in the closet. I found a really simple, yet pretty white dress. The dress had subtle pink details. I immediately got into the shower.

After a brief shower, I started dressing myself. I looked at myself in the mirror, and was quite pleased with my reflection. My black hair was arranged in a half-updo with curls falling down, and my skin had no pimples in it, luckily. Fortunately, I had no bags under my light brown eyes. I was committed to do a good entrance today at the Capitol, and I decided to go out. My life depended on it.

When I was opening my door, I was not so surprised to see Flynn smiling at me. He was holding a sunflower, and handed it to me in the most chivalrous way possible. He bent down, and kissed my right hand with a gentle kiss. This time I was more in control of myself and I didn't blush. I ignored him, and started walking into the dinning wagon. He followed my lead. However, before I could walk any faster, I felt how my waist was being wrapped up by his arms.

"I am going to win you heart Lucida" He said. "And, I will work hard with you so that you can get out of the arena and come back to me."

I analyze his words for a while, and if he liking me meant more chances of getting out alive. I will definitely play along with him.

"I dare you to do so. I kind of like determined people." I responded.

He smiled and turned me around with what seemed the strength of a titan. Then, he lifted me up and kissed me with such a passion, that I would have sworn it was real. Then without any further words, he placed me down and guided me to the dinning wagon.
