The next morning I wake up in Effie's bed and wonder what happened last night. Oh, now I remember. My cheeks flush red. Beside me is sleeping Effie. Her hair is all over her face and her blankets are covering her naked body like mine. He chest rises and falls under her blankets with each breath she breaths like when I saw her on the sofa.
"Effie?" I whisper.
She starts to move and flutter-open her eyes. "Haymitch?" She yawns. "What is it?"
"I just wanted you to...wake up" I say nervously. "How did you sleep?" I stutter, seeing her nipple through the thin, white sheets.
"Fine," She says, covering her chest nervously. "You?"
"Fine..." I say, looking down. I look at her chest and down to her waist, imaging her body underneath the sheets. "So...?"
"So...?" She says, giggling and smiling.
"What?" I say amused. "What is it?"
"Nothing." She answers before giving me a soft sweet kiss. "It's nothing, just last night."
"What happened last night? I know what happened but I mean...what your talking about." I blush.
"It's just that...you were such a gentleman. I thought you would be all mean and rough but you were really nice and considerate." She beams.
"Oh..." I say awkwardly. "You're welcome. I always treat a lady right." I grin awkwardly.
"Haymitch, you okay?" Effie asks.
"I dunno," I say. "...yeah I'm fine."
"Okay, just asking. You seem...distracted." She says.
I am distracted, all I want to do is ravish her like I did last night. To lay on top of her and kiss her neck. To suck on her soft skin.
"...Uh...what?...ohh, yeah its nothing." I stutter. "Want to get some breakfast?"
"Yeah." She grins before kissing me on the cheek softly. "Come on." She stands up without the sheets and I see her perfectly round ass. I realize I'm staring and blink a few times to stop. She turns and I see the whole thing. Everything, her waist is small, like herself, her hips are big. Not a fat big, but I beautiful big. "You comin'?" Shes says, realizing I'm staring again and she grins. "Come on!" She grabs my hands and pulls me up out of bed.
We dress silently, I occasionally look over to see her body, feeling like a total pervert. I get done first and watch her dress. She is wearing a red tank-top, pink pajama pants, and a red robe. She coaxed her curly blond hair into a braid and put her bangs back with bobby-pins. "Ready?" She asks.
I nod and follow her into the penthouse. The avoxes have put out our breakfast of eggs, pancakes with fountains of syrup, cereal, and many other foods. For drinks there is orange juice, milk of every kind, and water.
Effie grabs and plate and serves herself. By the end she has 1 pancake, and 2 eggs on her plate. She drinks water for her drink and sits in on of the chairs by the table. I have 3 eggs, 3 pancakes, 2 waffles and chocolate milk. I sit and dig into the mountain of food while Effie eats her small portion of food carefully and slowly as if she won't see an other meal. "Good isn't it?" I say with my mouth full of pancakes and eggs.
"Haymitch, please don't eat with our mouth full." She says timidly.
Shes different. She wasn't like this when we were just sitting in her room. "What's up? Why are you acting weird? Are you feeling bad about last night? Regret it?"
She looks up at me. "No Haymitch that's not it. I don't regret it one bit, its just...Katniss and Peeta. While we were in my room making love, they were and still are fighting for their lives." Effie frowns. "It doesn't feel right to feel great when they feel horrible. It's...wrong...so wrong for them to have to go into that damn arena and have no say on wether they go or not!" She sobs. "I hate how unfair it is!"
"I know sweetheart. Its unfair and they shouldn't have the right to put human beings into that damn arena, but they do. They do it without anyones consent. Its wrong and unfair and dumb but they do it anyway because Snow is a bastard. A dirty, cruel, bastard." I hold her fragile body close to mine and her tears drip down her chin and onto my t-shirt.
"Haymitch, you mean so much to me. I feel that I have to say that. Something is gonna happen, I can sense it. Something horrible and crazy. Chaos and hatred will be everywhere. I can feel it." She says meaningfully. "You just mean the world to me, I don't know what I'd do without you." Her tears slid down her cheek and make a tiny splash on my shirt.
"Don't worry Effie, if something like that did happen, I will be there for you." I say to her and kiss her passionately.
Suddenly what seems to be million of peacekeeps come into the room with guns and shout, "Don't run!"
I know exactly what is happening, the revolution has started.
