A/N Hello my dear readers. Tis me again, Alberta! I have arrived once more, delivering to you another chapter of let's start all over. This chapter has been proofread by my dear Kat1054. Okay, so this chapter is the beginning of the whole Finnick/Katniss relationship. Okay, I have been waiting to say this... THE CATCHING FIRE TRAILER CAME OUT YESTERDAY! AHHH! This movie will definitely be better than the Hunger Games. All of the cutouts from the movie were so powerful. I cried every time I watched it. And then Gale and the public beating. Ahh! Too much. Finnick was sadly enough not in the trailer, but Sam Claflin better make better make the perfect Finnick or all hell is going to break loose when I go see it. Okay. Oh! And one more note.
ToriTwilight504, who I just realized is following this story, wrote my favorite Finniss story. Go! Read it! Now! Okay, I am done talking, READ!
I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES!
Katniss POV
I don't know if I should go. Finnick seems obnoxious and cocky. I don't know if I could deal with someone like that. But he is truly gorgeous. Where could he have gotten such good looks?
My daydreaming is interrupted by the vibration in my pocket. I slip my phone out of my pants and read the screen.
1 New Message
Unknown number
I press the envelope icon on my phone and see a text message.
Hey Katniss. Was wondering if you want to change where we are going. My place perhaps?
Who is this?, I think to myself. I've barely given anybody my new number, only Uncle and Aunt have it. Was someone prank calling me. Wait a second...ugh! How could I be so ignorant, it's obviously Finnick. But why would he want me to come to his house? I shudder at the thought of having my virginity taken away from some boy toy. Something inside of me stirs, though. He wants me to come to his house? I don't know...
But apparently my body does, when I start pressing reply, writing down a four letter word, and pressing send just as I grab my jacket and zoom to my car. Wait, where does he live? I hear a ringing at the door.
"Ugh!" I say, louder than I intended.
I almost run to the door and yank the knob so hard, it almost falls off. But my angry demeanor soon changes as I see a pair of sea green eyes.
"Hey Katniss. I saw you walking to your house the other day. What a coincidence that we live so close to each other." he says, giving his heart-melting smirk.
"Oh, hey Finnick. I was just getting in my car to go to your house. But I don't see any, umm, point in that any more." I say, surprised at how unsteady my voice is. I am not even close to his talent of speaking like a human to other people, unlike the scared chihuahua I am. What this boy can do to me.
"Well then, let's go milady." he says as he gently picks up my hand. I feel electricity coursing through me as he loops it through his arm. I have never felt this way before. What is happening to me?
We walk in silence to his house, when he breaks it. "So, tell me Katniss, what do you want to do over at my house. My parents are on a business trip, and Cassie is over at Felicia's, so-" he says before I rudely stop him.
'"Who's Cassie?" I ask. I feel shivers going down my spine whenever I talk to him.
"My little sister of course. She really is a joy. Aren't all siblings just angels?" I detect the sound of sarcasm in his voice, and understand his emotions.
"Yeah, I feel ya. I have a little brother of my one. He's a huge pain in the ass to care for, but they come through in the end." I say.
"Yeah. Anyways, welcome to my humble abode." he points out his house. It is magnificent. From what I can see, there are beautiful chandeliers everywhere you look. Portraits of people on each wall, and I think that there is one of him there too. And in the corner, lies a huge flat screen T.V. Piles of video games everywhere. It is heaven.
"Wow, your house is really nice." I say, astonishment still lingering in my voice. I look down from the ceiling and Finnick is staring straight into my eyes.
"Yeah, it is." I feel the lust in his eyes staring me down, and I want to run away and hide, but I want to see where this will lead.
"Come on, let's go to my room." Uh oh. I hope this is not what I think it means. "I got a great movie, it's called Paranormal Activities. You're cool with horror movies, right?" I simply nod my head in agreement. He grabs my hand again and leads me up the stairs. There I go again. Heart beating so much faster and louder than it should, I'm afraid it will beat right out of my out of my chest.
Finnick POV
This is going so much better than I thought. She's not mad at me! She isn't! And now she is willing to watch a horror movie with me! Oh god. I am sweating everywhere. What is happening? I am usually super smooth with the ladies. But Katniss, she just makes me want to rip off all of her clothes and make love to her, right there, on the spot. I have been a male stripper for quite some years now, so I am not self-conscious. But Katniss is definitely an exception. I want to open myself to her, but I feel like she would judge me. But all of that is left to worry about later, not in this moment.
I open the door to my bedroom, a place that holds such terrible memories. My parents beating me, forced sex. I don't want to think about it. So I don't. I just think about the beautiful woman who stands before me. Katniss.
"Where do you wanna sit?" I ask, hoping to make her as comfortable as possible.
"On the floor is fine with me." she says calmly and collectedly. How does she keep so calm...and beautiful...get it together Finnick!
"Okay." I sit down slowly, refusing to let go of her hand, worrying that if I do, I might never get it back again.
I find the remote sitting on my bed and stretch my long arm to get it. When I do, I quickly turn on the movie, hoping that Cassie won't get home too soon. Day turns into night when the movie is starting to come to an end and Katniss is slowly starting to lean on my shoulder. I am so happy. I can't express myself in any other words.
When the movie finally comes to an end, I gently shake Katniss, trying hard not to wake her up. Thank god today is Friday, or I would be up until 6 o'clock doing homework.
"Katniss. Katniss..." she slowly flutters her eyelashes and stares at me with those grey eyes.
"Yes Finnick?" she says in her soft angelic voice.
"It's 12 am, do you wanna go to sleep?" I say as quietly as I can, hoping not to startle her.
"Can I sleep here? My house is too far away." she says in a voice so low, I can hardly call it a whisper.
"Sure, whatever you want. I'll set up a bed for you-" I am stopped when she gently places her arm on my leg.
"I wanna sleep next to you Finnick." she gives a light chuckle. I am so surprised by the bravery in her request.
"Whatever you want Kat." Kat? Where did that come from?
"Let's got to sleep...Finn." she says.
I slowly pick her up and place her on my bed. I climb in next to her. Just when I am about to fall asleep, I feel slight pressure on my lips.
"Goodnight." she says, her lips moving against mine.
Wow. She is amazing.
