This is love – CATO'S POV
Chapter 5
Today is the day we show the game makers what we can do. As all the tributes sit in the calling room, I glance around at everyone to see their faces wracked with fear. I look over to Katniss and she is biting her lip. Is she nervous? She glances up at me and I give her a reassuring smile. Before I know it my name is being called. I stand up and look behind me one last time. I see Katniss and she mouths "good luck" to me, I wink at her then walk into the training room. I walk over to the sword station and pick up the sword slowly feeling the weight, and then I begin slashing the dummies. I do then some other weapons for a while then they say I can go.
I wait outside the door for Katniss and after a while I hear her name get called. While I'm waiting for her I think of her lips and how they felt on mine. My fingers trace my own lips where she had hers yesterday. I hear I thud and I'm brought back to reality. I look up to see Katniss racing through the doors.
"Katniss wait" I call out for her. She hears my voice and turns around. I see her face she has tears flowing from her metallic eyes down her olive cheeks. I open my arms up for her and she runs into them. I stroke her hair telling her it's ok. After a while she looks up at me.
"What happened Kat?"
"I just got so angry at them, they weren't listening to me so I…" she mumbles the last part
"You what?" I ask in concern
"I shot an arrow at them and now I have screwed things up and I'm not going to get a good score and I'm not going to able to stay with you in the careers and then I won't be with you and-"
I cut her off by pulling her lips to mine and lifting her up by her waist not breaking the kiss. I finally pull away and look into her eyes and they are full with tears of fear. She looks down in shame but I just put my finger under chin and tilt her head up to look at me.
"Hey look at me it's going to be ok? I'm not going to leave you we are in this together" I tell her this not to calm her down but because it's the truth.
"But clove and-"I cut her off again
"I don't care about clove you are with me till the end ok? Come on lets go to the roof" I grab her hand but she doesn't move so I just pick her up bridal style.
"Cato!" she exclaims while she is giggling
"what do you want me to put you down?" I raise my eyebrow
"no" she says shyly
We walk up the stairs laughing like crazy but I can't help but be mesmerised but he laugh her smile. Her. I could listen to her laugh for the rest of my life which isn't long but I know that it is the right thing to do for her and her family.
I kick open the roof door to see 2 people already there I put Katniss down and look to see who it is and I'm surprised to see clove kissing….bread boy!
