Chapter Ten
I wake up and see Finnick sleeping next to me. I look around the room and see my wedding dress thrown aside as well as Finnick's shirt and khakis. Our underwear is outlining the bed.
I rub my eyes and yawn.
I didn't get dressed after the bath. So I have a combination of bed head and sex hair. My hair is messy but because of the bath it no longer holds hair spray. I reach for my hair tie and pull my up hair into a messy bun.
I sit up and put on Finnick's shirt and my panties. I watch him sleep. He looks so relaxed. I kiss his cheek. I love Finnick so much. I can't believe I'm married to that man.
I kiss his cheek again and get out of bed. I look out the window to see a nice view of the beach. I lean against the window and watch the people at the beach. I wonder for a minute if people can see me.
Finnick and I don't really have a honeymoon so this is pretty much it. I'm glad it's somewhere pretty.
"Why is it, that girls always put on the guys top?" I hear Finnick say in his heavy sleep voice.
I smile and turn towards him.
"It's not like I'm going to put on my wedding dress." I say with.
"I meant in general." He says and yawns.
"Because it's looser than my clothes. Besides, I thought guys liked seeing them in their shirt and panties afterwards." I say and Finnick rolls his eyes.
"I do." He says and takes my hand and pulls me back to bed. "Makes you look sexy." He kisses my cheek.
"But you always want me." I say.
"I do." He says and runs his thumb over my knuckles.
Finnick kisses the top of my head.
"Do you like wearing your ring?" I ask Finnick.
"Yes. It shows that I married the most beautiful girl." He smiles.
"So it's manly enough for you?" I ask.
"Of course." He says. "I'm your husband."
"And I'm your wife." I say.
He kisses me.
"You know." He says and runs his hands over the buttons of the shirt. "I think I might want this back." He says and undoes a button.
"Not subtle today are we?" I smile and kiss him. He undoes another button.
"It's never been my strong suit." He says and kisses me.
The shirt soon finds its place back on the floor.
"Let's go for a walk." Finnick says and holds out his hand.
The beach is right in front of the hotel.
Finnick takes my hand and we walk down the beach.
We stop and pick up seashells.
"We should get all these shells framed and have a wedding photo in the middle." Finnick says.
"Look at you making up some romantic stuff."
Finnick kisses my cheek.
"I can be quite the romantic." He says.
"I know." I whisper and kiss him.
Finnick and I have collected a decent amount of seashells before we go back to the hotel.
"We should go out to dinner." Finnick says.
"Why?" I ask.
"It will be special." He says.
"I don't know if I have anything nice to wear." I say.
"You have that pink sundress." Finnick says. "Besides, it's not like we are going somewhere out." Finnick says.
We go out to one of the local places.
Finnick and I get the catch of the day. They have amazing corn bread here as well.
The waitress over hears us talking about how we are newly married so we get free chocolate cake for dessert.
All in all it was a nice night.
"Let's go." Finnick says and takes my hand. We walk out to the pier and walk down it for awhile.
Some of the seagulls are resting on the railing.
"I like it here." Finnick says and kisses me.
"Me too." I say and lean on the banister while looking at the ocean.
"I still can't believe I'm married to you." He says.
"Me too. I hope this happy feeling will never wear off." I say and look towards him.
"We have the rest of our lives to be married. I'm pretty sure it won't always be gumdrops and rainbows. But I will always have you." He says.
"I'll always have you too." I say.
I'll always have Finnick no matter what obstacles we will face. Finnick has already been there for me on my worst days. I know I can be there for him. I know we can get through anything. Together.
