Chapter 9: Feelings and Questions
Rue's POV
So, yesterday was fun. I love hanging out with my best friends. But do I want more than that, the kiss was good but do I think that it was a one off. What is Fine thinking? We have kissed before, but they were dares when we were kids.
Knock! Knock!
"Can I come in?" It's my mum.
"Yeah sure." Oh no what does she want!
"Did you have a nice day with Willow and Finnick?" Oh no she knows how would she know!
"It was good! We are best friends... But how did you know what happened?" Why did I say that? Her face looks confused I was being paranoid. Oh god.
"What happened? Are you alright?" How am I going to get out of this one. Erm...
"I... We... Willow left to meet up with Jace." What she already knew!
"I know Johanna told me. They have been getting pretty close lately haven't they?" Thank you. Rue you liar.
"Ok... I lied. Me and Finnick, we... Had a lot of fun yesterday!" Ok I can't tell her she has a lot on her mind about the president. The last thing on her mind is her teenage daughter running around with her best friends son. Wait, is that what I want?
"Rue you still there?! You must be tired. You better get some rest as you are going to help fix, a family's house in the steam tomorrow. Finnick..." I stop listening after I hear Finnick's name. I just feel butterflies. This is strange I have never felt like this before.
The Steam- the nest day.
Rue's POV
"Where have you been we were meant to meet 30 minutes ago?" Willow says.
"I was late because..." I was trying to look nice for... FINNICK! "I had to help my father make some bread!" What am I talking about, I set the kitchen on fire last time I baked?!
"What you can't bake brainless? Last time we cooked together the cookies set on fire." Willow says suspicious.
"That was so funny! I remember the look on your dad's face was the best!" Finnick states he is quiet today!" Then I look into his eyes and we stare into each others eyes for a while, I don't know how long it was seconds, minutes but it felt like the world stopped.
"Stop starring love birds! We have got jobs to do?" I give Willow the look.
"Well we have to get on!" I say. Trying to change the subject.
"We have to fix the roof, of three houses. And then we have to go and plant some vegetables with Grandad Haymich and Gale. This is going to be in the steam and the people can help and share the vegetables." Finnick states. As he picks up the tools. He looks amazing in that tank top and shorts. His muscles are ripped.
"Ok." Me and Willow reply.
None. Of us talk for a while, unless Finnick asks for a tool or some help. It is getting awkward, and Willow is getting restless.
" l've had enough. You two just talk. It is getting awkward. You kissed, I know you both liked it. Will you talk about it?" she finally says. Who's going to talk first?
"Ok. Here it goes. Recently I have felt like we are becoming more than friends. I really like you Rue." Finnick says blushing. "Your beautiful and... Will you go out with me? On a date?"
Yes! I like him he likes me. I don't reply I can't I am speechless. Instead I look in his eyes and kiss him! Feeling confident.
"Get a room, love birds!" Willow says. Well, she is decently like aunt Johanna. "On Sunday why don't you two come out with me and Jace. We can be on a double date. It's ice skating?"
"Yeah, sounds fun!" Finnick answers. "Would you like to go on a date Rue?"
I can't ice skate. I don't know why, I just can't I can hunt I keep my balance but on ice I am hopeless. "You know I can't ice skate." I whimper.
"Oh come brainless. That's what boyfriends are for." I think it will be fun.
"Boyfriends are also very good looking. Especially Rue's" Finnick says laughing. Giving me a wink. He is good at getting you out of those situations.
Hope you like this chapter. It took me ages.
