Hey guys! I'm back, that was quick wasn't it? :D I had this chapter planned out in my head and it was too perfect for me to stop writing. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, they all belong to Suzanne Collins. I also don't own the song "You're Mine". It's a great song by Maybe Next Summer and I totally recommend you to listen to it.
Finnick's POV:
"Hey Kit Kat is it okay if I just order pizza for dinner?" I yell from the living room to the kitchen. "Actually, let me re-phrase that, what would you like me to order for dinner?"
"Give me a second, I'm trying my best not to burn the popcorn," she yells back.
I laugh to myself, this is why I'm in love with her. "Good luck with that, I think if I went and helped this whole house would already be up in flames."
"True, just hurry up and find a movie we can watch on Netflix and I'll hook it up to the big TV."
I go back to my search of movies trying to find the perfect romance movie. Hmm there's Dear John, The Notebook, and I stop on The Fault In Our Stars. Perfect, I think to myself. I am sucker for sweet love stories and this is one of the only movies that had me in tears. Now that I've chosen the movie, what should I order for food? Maybe Chinese food?
"Kit Kat, does Chinese food sound good?" I yell back to the kitchen.
"I'm down, it sound delicious," she says walking into the room with a huge bowl of popcorn in her hands.
"Well after this bowl of popcorn I'm not sure we'll need any more food," I say jokingly.
"Please, one can never have too much food," she tries to say wisely.
We both burst out in laughter.
"So, have you found a movie yet?" she asks.
"Of course I have, it's the perfect movie, The Fault In Our Stars."
"Oh yes, that movie," she says slightly bitterly, "I've never actually watched it. It seemed way too over-rated honestly."
"What!? Well you've never given it an opportunity to prove itself to you. You have to give it a chance before you say no," I say hinting at something.
"It just seems too predictable. Everybody said it was sad so you can just assume someone dies."
"I mean I guess. Come on, just give it a chance? Please, for me?" I say pouting my lip.
"Fine, I'll give it a chance but just know it wasn't for you," she says smiling.
"YAY! Now we just have to set it up and order the Chinese food and we'll be all set."
"Great, can you figure this out?" she says holding up the remote to the TV, "I'm gonna go change."
And with that she walks out of the room leaving me with just a remote. I'm sure I can figure this out, I'll just order the food first. After I call the Chinese food place, I go back to trying to set this up. After a couple minutes, I figure it out and it starts to play, I hit pause and just sit on the couch waiting for Katniss. Hmm it's been 10 minutes and I'm starting to worry. I get up and start walking towards the stairs, "Hey Kit Kat? Are you okay?" With no response I decide to walk up to her room. I knock on the door three times before opening it, there's no one there. Perhaps she's on the third floor? "Katniss?" I yell again worrying more and more as each second ticks pass. "Katniss? Are you there?" I try once more. I hear a shuffling of feet then a distant, "I'm up here." I walk down the hall of the third floor and open the door. I start sneezing because of the dust and sigh in relief as I see the distinct grayness of Katniss' eyes as she peaks through the shelves.
"Oh my goodness, you had me worried sick about you. This house is so big I thought I lost you," I say.
"I'm fine, but check out this huge wine cellar."
I look around and there are probably over a hundred bottles of wine in this room. It kinda reminds me of that one wine cellar in The Parent Trap.
"This is crazy. Your aunt has such a large collection," I say.
"Yeah she does. You think she'll mind if we take a bottle?"
"Uhm, I don't think that's a great idea…" I start to say but am cut off.
"Besides you said so yourself, she has such a large collection, I'm sure she won't notice."
"This must've been so expensive…"
"Stop being so uptight, just chill," she says and continues looking through the collection.
I realize I am so tense, calm down Finnick, just like the waves.
"You're right, one bottle of wine won't hurt, right?" I say trying to redeem myself.
She pulls out a bottle and inspects it, "This looks pretty good to me. Let's go."
I follow her out of the room and I see a room I didn't notice on my way up. It seems to be a music room of sorts. I pause to take a look and Katniss notices me eyeing it.
"Ohh yes, my aunt, along with her wide collection of wine, also has a wide collection of instruments."
I couldn't help but admire the big grand piano in the center of the room. I walk over to it and start stroking the lid and keys.
"Do you know how to play?" she asks.
"It's been a while but I was pretty pro at it," I say cockily.
She takes a seat on the bench and pats the space next to her. "If I remember the tune correctly, I could play your favorite song for you."
And with that, she begins to play the song, and from that moment on, it has become our song. She sings just as well as she plays the piano. Her voice is like an angel, but better. I cannot stop myself from melting as I watch her play with great focus and concentration; the way her gray eyes focus on the sound, the way her fingers hit each key, the way her voice sings each note perfectly. By the time it gets to the chorus, she nudges me to sing along with her:
'I could write a million songs to say how I feel,
'Cause I felt it from you,
And you know that it's so real.
I'll dress it up to emphasize,
I'll tell the whole world that...
You are everything I could ever dream,
You are the part of me I could never see,
You are the force behind a kiss that makes me move,
You know it's you.
You are the sparkle in a star-filled sky,
You are the how's and when's,
You're my perfect alibi.
And nobody gets me like you do,
You know it's you.
Oh, it's you who has stolen my heart,
And my weakness is your strongest part.
I could write a million songs to say how I feel,
'Cause I felt it from you,
And you know that it's so real.
I'll dress it up to emphasize,
I'll tell the whole world that you're mine...'
She finishes the song and we are staring deep into each other's eyes. I move my hand so it is gently touching her cheek. My heart is racing and my brain is pounding, I couldn't think straight being this close to her; this close to her gray eyes, this close that I could smell her minty breath, this close to those lips, those lips I so badly wanted on my own. The longing was too much, and Katniss closed the small space between us. An electric current ran through my body as she moved her arms to be around my neck. Her soft lips, and her minty breath was all I could think about. That moment seemed to be frozen, to last for eternity, yet before I knew it, it was over. We both just sat there, forehead to forehead, still looking into each other's eyes, taking deep breaths thinking about what had just happened. In that moment, it was perfect, it was everything I could have ever wanted.
*sigh* That kiss was perfect, almost too perfect… I hope you enjoyed and don't forget to leave a review :D
