Cato POV
Ok Ok Here we go to the zoo. Since small I knew that Clove was afraid and allergenic to animals and was very scared even when someone imitates the sound of a wild animal. Suddenly I felt my pocket vibrate and I take it out and found that Gale has texted me. Why should he text me while he was still sitting in front of me?
Gale: Hey Hurdles
Cato: Hey Hunter .I guess u culd talk 2 me cuz I am stting bck of u dud
Gale: Got a reason gnna say Clover
Cato: I wll say once u say Madgey Madgey
"Hey! Stop calling her like that Cato" Gale suddenly turned towards me and said. Everyone gave us confused looks and Clove tried to peer inside what I was looking at but I closed the phone and struck my tongue out and we continued our ride. Soon after the text, my mind is filled with thoughts
I do have a crush on Clove and I know I am falling... No No fell for her then why not say it to her.
I kept of thinking of different ways to say her.'Clove I love you" or 'Clove I think I am falling for you or maybe I love you' or 'You are my childhood crush Clove' or text her or ask the girls to say her. I think of this and I am snapped out of my train of thoughts by someone snapping fingers in front of me.
"Come on hurdles, time to go" Peeta said and patted my shoulder from behind. I get up but find Clove is not coming out and the girls are nearly dragging her out. She reluctantly comes out and joins us. Gale gets the tickets and we all entered except Clove who was standing there and nervously fiddling with her fingers.
"Come on Clove. We gotta go"
""Uh Oh Ok'' she says somewhat unsure and we find everyone standing near a big tree filled with monkeys. Clove looked up from my shoulder and saw the monkeys
No Cato I am not coming. The animals look terrific"
"See didn't I saw ,, no harm" but soon as I finished the sentence, a big monkey came and roared at Clove showing its big, dirty teeth to her. She got frightened and snuggled inside my chest. Everyone saw up from the tree to us.
"I guess I will take Clove to the ice cream stand and we will join you in a short while"
"Yeah sure " replied Madge clicking photograhs in her phone with Katniss.I already spotted the stand so we go and sit there in a chair speaking about the pasts. Then after sometime I find myself not interested in the conversation but deeply engrossed with her beautiful face.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something in my face?"
"Nothing but I was just seeing how beautiful you were" She blushed at this and there was no stopping for me from this.
"Clove, since we were small, you were pretty with all those girly stuffs but now, you have grown into the most beautiful girl I have ever met. I had a crush on you when we were small but it has returned after I have met you and it is only one day"
''What does that mean Cato" she asks completely shocked.
"I guess I am...er ...um fall...I .mea...I mean falling...for you" she was stunned at my reply and I thought that she would run away or I would get a slap on my face but she came near me and placed her lips on mine. I returned it to her and guess whom I met with.
Katniss, Peeta, Finnick and Annie
We both separated and a fierce blush came up on both our faces and they started showering questions to us and Clove was like
"I am sorry guys but I am planning on quitting my promise and I want to be together with Cato ...um if he likes "I nod and she comes and hugs me.
"Well well we have decided that Clove Silvers is free and can be together with Cato Hadley and I pronounce you as girlfriend and boyfriend" Annie first in a normal way and then it turned into a wedding vows kind of...
"And now, you may kiss your girlfriend" I smile and place a small and passionate kiss on her lips.
"Guys don't we miss two from our group?'' Clove enquired and then I found that Gale and Madge were missing.
"They went to a race but they still did not return. Why don't we go to the place of race and meet them" We agree and we walked somewhere where they took us and under a willow tree, I see something which makes my eyes come out of its place. I never knew Gale was acting so fast. Oh Galeā¦
