Ohhhhh chapter 10! i feel like i have accomplished sooooo much :D Ok I kinda rushed this cause I wanted to get it out tonite, but here ya go :)
There are 13 floors in the training centre, not including the basement, 12 of these floors are accessible by elevator the 13th however requires a spiral staircase. I whizzed up the staircase and shoved open the heavy metal door. The first thing I noticed on the roof was the tall figure silhouetted against the moon. Cato. I could tell by his muscles and posture. I bit my lip should I just ignore him or say something. I stand there awkwardly gawking at him; but before I had time to do something he whirls around. He stares straight at me for what feels like years but in reality is actually 30 seconds, I counted, before he turns back to the balcony his back to me. What he says next is so quiet compared to the strong wind, that whips my air, that I'm not too sure that he said it at all, "thought I felt a creepy presence," he turns around and smirks at me. I slowly take a step towards him not sure if he wants me to leave or stay. When he does not reject my step towards him I walk up beside him staring out at the capitol. We stand in silence before he speaks again "nice training score," he says and I can't tell if it's genuine or sarcastic. "Umm, thanks" I reply "yours wasn't too bad either" I add throwing him a smirk. He gives me a smile not a manipulative cruel intimidating one but a nice one and I wonder if maybe under all that muscle there's a decent personality. I feel butterflies in my stomach and mentally slap myself, urghh do I have feelings for Cato? A brutal career. No I couldn't, could I? I looked up at him, he was so good looking and the way the sunset reflected on his hair made him even more perfect. He slowly began to lean towards me and almost automatically I was leaning too. Then our lips were touching and it felt like a bolt of lightning had run through my body. His hands rested on my waist and my fingers knotted in his hair as we kissed fireworks erupting in my stomach. We pulled away breathlessly and I bit my lip nervously as silence filled the air. I looked out at the tall buildings and skyscrapers nervously wishing to be swallowed into the ground, was this the part where he rejects me? I looked down as I felt Cato's fingers entwine with mine. They were rough but comforting and it felt like they fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. We stayed like that standing and staring out at the buildings when the door gave a loud creak. We quickly jumped apart just as the door flung fully open revealing Glimmer. She looked at us suspiciously before flicking back her long blonde locks and flouncing over. "Cato," she cooed her hair flying in my face, "there you are, I've been looking everywhere for you, have you been hiding," she pouted at him and I tried not to laugh at the obvious flirtation. "Well here I am," he said "just talking to Charlene here," he nodded his head at me causing me to smile sweetly at Glimmer and her in response to turn and glare daggers at me. "Well I need you," she said "to discuss alliances and stuff," she clasped her hands together and then added "in private, she needs to leave," she pointed a perfect nail at me. But I stood there rooted to the spot, did she really think that I would just leave; well she was in for a surprise. She stared at me as if trying to subtly signal for me to leave but I just stared straight back at her, eyebrows raised. "Urghh come on Cato," she said losing the staring battle and grabbing Cato's arm and pulling him to the door. Cato turned round and rolled his eyes at me then with a small smile he disappeared through the door.
As soon as the door slammed shut I slid down the balcony wall. What had just happened? We had kissed like properly kissed and he had held my hand! My fingers felt tingly from his touch. I sat there for another few minutes a goofy smile plastered to my face. Eventually I heaved myself up and went back to my floor I flopped into bed and fell into blissful fantasy images of Cato floating round my head. I felt like I didn't have a worry in the world, then I remembered where I was.
