Chapter 14:
Katniss POV:
After we finish our... business, Peeta and I clothe and get ready to face the world. He heads to Finnick's place and I to Starbucks. I slip on a new t-shirt (one of Clove's choice, so its pretty revealing) and short-shorts. Feeling daring after my long night (and morning), I wear black eyeliner with mascara and some lipstick. I step out of the house, shutting the door behind me. I slip into Plutarch's Lamborghini (he spares no expense) and turn on the engine. I step on the accelerator pedal and whiz to the mall. I leave the car with valet and walk to Starbucks, where Johanna reads an article from a Cosmopolitan. The title reads, 'Cheats to Quick Sex'. She reads the sentences with an accent and then puts down the magazine to make a joke about the methods. She would act them out in front of a crowd of people, grabbing a lot of attention and laughs from Madge and Clove. I pull out a chair from another table and squeeze myself into the table.
"Wow, hello!" Johanna says, looking up from her smutty article.
"So someone got lucky last night, didn't they?" Clove laughs giving me a saucy wink.
"And this morning," Johanna adds.
"Well seeing as you walked in on it I can't really say we didn't," I murmur sarcastically.
"Yeah, but we know about this morning. We can only guess what happen last night..." Madge trails off, her eyes falling on the ceiling, probably thinking of the possibilities.
"How about you Madge? Are you over what happened to you last night?" I carefully approach. She nods then adds, "I can't believe my stupidity!" Clove moves closer to console Madge by patting her back.
"Trying to change the subject, are we?" Johanna counters nonchalantly.
Madge laughs and the whole table relaxes. I roll my eyes and my face turns a deep crimson color at her insinuation...
My head leaves the current situation and takes off for my sexual memories. Mmm. Yes, like that. My brain wanders off, thinking about it as my hands begin to get sweaty. I can't help but dig my teeth into my lips
"Katniss!" Clove screams. "Were you thinking of sex again?"
"Tdhe look on her face..." Johanna says slyly. "The look on her face said it all."
"By the way, how big is his shing-a-long?" Clove asks.
"What?" I reply, confused as hell.
"You know, his penis." Madge lays down flatly.
"OH!" I blush at her forwardness. "It was... of average size?" I stutter, not knowing what size and name to call Peeta.
"Extra-average from what I hear." Johanna mutters.
"And where, dear Johanna, did you hear that?" I question sharply.
"Peeta's brother told his girlfriend, who told her friend, who told Megan's cousin, who told her sister, who told Glimmer, who told Charlotte who told Delly while Clove was listening. Then Clove told JoJo who told me, who is telling you." Madge clarifies.
"As long as I was the only one two see his extra-averaged-ness," I say darkly.
"Feisty, aren't we?" Clove says. We all laugh in response. Madge laughs so hard, she throws her head back. She then nearly falls out of her chair.
"Oh my god. Shit. Shit." Madge cries.
"No need to swear, you just nearly fell out of your chair. Hey that rhymes..." Clove says.
"No, NO. It's Prim," Madge says.
"What?!" I exclaim.
"Yeah, over there with that guy. Keep your voice down." Madge says.
I lean over to get a better view. "Where is she?"
"Behind the ficuses," Madge whisper-shouts. I crane my neck to get a better look at her. There she is, with a boy no less. Did she ask me? No, she just walked in on us...
"Oh! Hi Prim," I awkwardly say as she runs towards me, the strange boy she was with sits by the fountain, waiting for Prim.
"Please just stay away, Katniss." She quickly whispers.
"But who are you with? And where is Rue? If you left her alone, her mum will never let her come over again, Primrose!" I scold her.
"Katniss!" Prim complains.
"Fine, I'll let you go but you tell that boy that you're not down for any funny business or I'll make his life miserable." I warn her.
"Then I should make Peeta's like hell? Isn't that what I walked in on? Think about it again, Katniss." She says, crossing her arms and patting my back before she leaves and walks into the cinema. I feel my cheeks burning as I turn back to Johanna.
"You were saying?" I ask, sipping my iced latte.
PEETA POV:
I quickly rush over to Finnick's place to calm myself down and hopefully sneak a beer into my system from the party. I drive into his backgate, motoring by the meadow. I shake my head and calm myself before I knock on his door. He opens with a tired face, with Annie hanging from his half sober body. Annie is still wasted.
"Whaddup, bruh?" He mumbles.
"Um, hi. Can I talk to you?" I ask.
"No. I need to ask you a question, Peeta? Where did you take my bestie, Katniss last night? Y'all left early and missed the limbo party! And the shots! And the disco! What the actual fuck man?" Annie questions.
"Yeah, where were you?" Finnick butts in. His lips curl into a devious smile and his eyebrow rises in curiousity.
"I need to talk to you." I reply.
"OH BRO." He yells, even above the loud noise of vacuum cleaners behind. Finnick's maids clean up the stained carpet and sofa while several quietly pick up broken glass on the floor.
"Annie? How about you get yourself cleaned up and I'll be upstairs in a sec. If you know what I mean." He winks. She nods and stumbles up the angled stairs.
"Come in." I step inside and sit on the countertop, chomping into an apple from the bowl. Finnick sits on the bar stool.
"What happened last night? Oh god." He says, placing his hand over his face. He uncovers his grinning face and asks, "Did you get it?" He gestures, thrusting his hands in front of his body. I grimace.
"Eugh. Yeah." I reply, hiding my smile behind the remainder of my apple. He hoots and chuckles, leans towards me and slaps my leg jokingly.
"I'm proud of you man! How long it's been? One week? Not bad." He smirks. "Way better than Gale did in a year."
"Oh yeah, how is he?" I ask trying to change the subject.
"Oh you know, Madge's parents sued Gale and his family. Katniss is out with Madge. She's depressed it seems like. Traumatized. Gale is in judy, suspended from school for a month. No Gale for a month, equals. Freedom." Finnick calmly says, using his hands as another example. "More time for you and Katniss, I guess." He winks.
I nod my head. "He deserves it. I'm happy for Madge, at least he's not allowed near her. But now she's sad and everything, poor thing."
"Oh yeah, don't try to think you can get away that easily. How was last night? How long? Did you listen to my tricks? Did she like it? What did she say?" Finnick rushes.
"Well, it's a long story." I smirk. He catches my idea and my train of thought.
"Yeah, buddy." Finnick boasts, sounding proud and smirks.
