Chapter 6: Snow's Visit

CHAPTER 6 SONG: Diamonds, By Rhianna. VOLUME: Medium

Finnick POV

Miss. Trinket's words ring in my ears.

Shit!

Everyone at the table is silent. "I'll get it." I say calmly and quickly head to the living room and putting pants and a shirt on. I then head to the front hall where President Snow was waiting. He looks shocked at my arrival and says, "Mr. Odair, fancy meeting you here."

I nod and say, "Can I help you?" trying my best to act nicely in front of the man who had personally seen to my family's death.

"What are you doing in Miss. Everdeen's room?" He asks suspiciously sitting down on a stiff chair next to the elevator.

I'm at a loss for words. "I was visiting her." I say truthfully and fold my arms over my chest.

He is at a loss for words and appears to be deep in thought as Katniss barges through the hallway looking beautiful as usual wearing red shorts and a black tank.

She looks worried for a split second but then puts on her Girl on Fire attitude.

"President Snow." She calmly acknowledges him.

He smiles. "Hello Miss. Everdeen. I had a business proposal for you-"I flinch and glance at her to see her biting her lower lip. I walk to her and pull her to my chest. She brushes me off and stands straight facing President Snow.

President Snow smiles and says, "I had a proposal for you dear. I would hate for something to happen to your poor little sister." He says looking at her with snake eyes and stands up. Katniss tenses next to me and looks straight back at him.

"But. I think I have found something much more profitable. You and Mr. Odair are too be in love. You must stay together in the Capitol for the next few months, and attend many social events. Put up a good show, and Mr. Odair?" he looks at me with a ghost of a smile.

"You will not have to continue your appointments anymore as long as you do as I say."

I feel like I want to jump for joy. I was done. NO longer had to sleep with random women. And all I had to do was act in love with a girl I was in love with. Katniss squeezes my hand and I realize that she was a teenager. A young teenager and I was a man. It seems weird, but I guess we are only 7 years apart.

"Are we clear?" Snow asks raising a hairy white eyebrow.

"Yes sir." I answer with a smile

"Miss. Everdeen?" he asks Katniss as he presses the elevator button.

"How many months do we have to be together?" Katniss asks, nervous.

"As long as I see fit." He snaps and steps into the elevator.

What was she thinking? She actually wanted to leave me? I look at her hurt and see she has a sad face on.

"Good day Mr., and hopefully the future Mrs. Odair." Snow says with a pointed look at Katniss.

The doors close and the awful smell of roses leave with him.

"Well, that could have been-"I start as I see Katniss run to her room.

"Katniss, wait!" I tell her and chase after her. She makes it to her door first and slams it.

I bang on her mahogany door. "Katniss, please?" I plead, desperate.

"I need to think. Go away." Comes the muffled voice.

"Okay." I say with a plan.

I stomp loudly to make it sound as if I had left, then quietly tip toe back to her door.

I press my ear to the crack and hear sobbing. Several, "I'm sorry Peeta! I have too!" and a few, "Gale's".

The door opens and I fall backwards to the floor. She glares at me and I scramble to stand up. I was caught.

"Awkward." Haymitch says as he passes by and heads to his room.

She glares at me again and then briskly walks away to the elevator.
"Where are you…?" I trail off as the doors of the elevator close, taking an annoyed Katniss with them.

Why was she so mad? I mean. Come one, I was Finnick Odair! How could she be mad that she had t be with me? But I guess that was partly why I admired her. She didn't care about who I was.

I sigh as Haymitch walks in the hall and sighs. "I never wanted this to happen." He groans and sits down with his bottle.

I sit down near him. "What to happen?" I ask curiously.

He sighs. "You. You, no offense, are not good for her. First, you're too old. Second, she has a good 'friend' back home. I can't thank you enough for helping her out, but I didn't think you'd fall in love with her!" he spits out his beer.

"How am I too old? C'mon Mitch, you're just trying to come up with excuses."

HE was caught. "Okay that's not the point. It's just-never mind. Go find her." He tells me and leaves with his bottle clutched close to him.

"Why don't you marry you're bottle?" I ask him smirking.

"Don't push your luck pretty boy. I can kick you at easily." He slurs smugly.

I walk towards the elevator and ask him, "Oh yeah? Who will keep Katniss out of the business then?"

The elevator opens and I step in before I hear him answer.

I step out of the Training Center Tower and into the blinding sunlight. I quickly walk towards the Main Street. I knew that Katniss had been there before after her Crowning Ceremony.

I can't help but realize what an amazing day it was. I was heading down Victor drive, where they were constructing Katniss' statue.

It was a beautiful garden with a large reflecting pool and the Victor Statues lined up all around the pool. I head down the sidewalk with my shades on and glance around a few times to make sure no one was following me. That was another thing I hated in the Capitol. The annoying paparazzi and fans that were constantly stalking me. I wonder how Katniss would react to paparazzi. I smile and then think about where she could have gone. Did she really not like me? I knew I loved her. She was all I had. I thought that she would love me too, but I guess I shouldn't push it. I suddenly hear voices.

I turn around to see a trail of paparazzi following me. Crap. I quicken my pace only to hear a teenage girl scream, "OH MY GOSH IT'S FINNICK ODAIR!"

A crowd of people hastily start to follow me and I hear camera's flashing. I continue running and head through an alley and quickly duck into a café that sold newspapers and coffee.

It was a small store that smelled of coffee beans. I waited as I saw the mob of a couple hundred people pass, and then sprinted out of the story when I bumped into a girl.

"I'm so sorry are you okay-"I start when I realize its Katniss.

She stands up and brushes off the dirt on her jacket. "Jeez Finnick, where's the Trident Giveaway." She says rolling her eyes at me.

"You know as well as I do that I don't need a giveaway. I have more than enough money to buy all the tridents in the world." I tell her while peering around for the paparazzi.

She glances around as well and says,"Paparazzi were stalking me earlier." She started walking towards the Training Tower. I hurry to catch up with her and ask her, "Where'd you go?"

She looks nervous and replies, "I went out to eat." She then briskly presses a button on her bracelet, and a Limo comes by to pick us up.

We hop in and I hear the flashing of cameras

"Is it true that you two have eloped?" A news reporter asks

"Are you dating?" Paparazzi calls out and tries to grab Katniss to take a picture of her face.'

Katniss yells at them through the window and says darkly, "I will personally murder each of you if you don't leave me alone." She gives them each a glare.

I look out the window to see them backing up. I throw back my head and start laughing leaning back into my leather seat on the limo.

Katniss cracks a smile and looks out her window watching the scenery. "It would be pretty if it wasn't so fake." She says, not taking her eyes off the window.

I couldn't agree more as the limo drives back to our temporary home.

"Katniss, why were you mad at what Snow said?" I ask her, peering into her beautiful eyes.

Hey guys! Soooo short chapter! Thanks for the reviews ad follows and favorites! Please continue to do so! So, I changed my pen name from LexiandCato, to Lexi and Finnick Odair. Got 3 PM's, so I consented and put a pic of me on my page. Hope you liked this very short chapter. Now, I've gotten some complains saying why is this in the Capitol. Well, I think if the whole rebellion thing didn't happen, and if Katniss won alone, she would have been spending allot of time in the Capitol. Don't worry! 2 chapters max in the capitol, then VT, and District 12! Also, Katniss won't love Finnick over 4 chapters, she will realize it soon though (as usual, 5 reviews 2day, and I put another chapter today) in the next chapter you will find out: Where Katniss was (which includes a very jealous Finnick) who sabotaged the box. Also, because some of you asked, I got the idea of the box from a dream.
