I am running out of big words to use so for a while I am switching back to song titles or poem titles :)
So now everyone can be well-rounded and know amazing poems or songs- yay! But I promise, if another cool word fits the story it WILL be used!
Animal
Here we go again,
We're sick like animals
We play pretend
You're just
A cannibal
And I'm afraid
I won't get out alive
I won't sleep tonight
-Neon Trees "Animal"
Ever...
I tie my chestnut brown hair up with a black ribbon, careful to spend extra time on tying the ribbon into a bow- my clients seem to like the 'little-girl' hairstyle. Clients. That word makes me sick.
After perfecting my hairstyle I slip out of my jeans and t-shirt I put on a short, white, strapless dress with a black cardigan over it. President Snow sent me another note saying that I must meet the new man behind the Training Center where his limo would take us to his manor.
I flushed that note down the toilet as soon as I got it- after tearing it into shreds, of course. I wonder how long I can keep this up before someone other than Finnick finds out.
Finnick seems to really have meant what he said about me being able to come to him about everything. Earlier today, sometime between receiving the first note and the second, he must have noticed by my attitude that I had to meet with another Capitol man. He bent down and whispered in my ear, "I'm always here, kid."
To be honest, I'm shocked he hasn't slipped up and told someone yet.
With one last sigh, I flick off the lights in my room, grab my purse and sneak downstairs to the back door of the Training Center.
Haymitch...
I notice the shower isn't running after awhile and figure that Raewyn must be finished showering. The lock on the door clicks to unlock but the door is barely cracked open. "Er, Haymitch?"
"Hm?"
"Um, do you have a shirt I can borrow just for tonight? Zahra decided to use mine as a napkin at dinner." Good thing she is in the bathroom or else she would have seen me- dare I say it- blush like a fool. I tell her that I have one and find a plain grey t-shirt. A clean grey t-shirt. Living with a female has it's benefits; like clean clothes. "Thanks, just pass it through the door." I walk to the door and pass her the shirt- trying to ignore the fact that the only thing she is wearing is her panties...no bra or towel.
Stop being so perverted, Haymitch!
"That's better." She says less than a minute later, walking out of the bathroom with her hair still soaked and still wearing nothing but her underwear on the lower half of her body. Is she really nearly six months pregnant? She looks up at me and smirks, "I'm sorry, I can always put my ketchup-stained jeans back on if this bothers you."
"No, it doesn't bother me." I say like such a man.
She grins, "I didn't think you'd have a problem with it so I threw my jeans down the laundry chute anyway." She pauses before saying, "It's late. Do you mind if I just stay here tonight?" What is this woman trying to do?
"Not at all." I say, having a hard time looking at her eyes; she notices this but pretends not to. "But who is watching-"
"Starlyn and Zahra are with Isis. She loves kids."
"Well then I'll take the couch so you can-"
She frowns. "We can share. Pregnancy isn't contagious you know. Besides, men don't even give birth- unless you are a seahorse which you aren't."
"Male seahorses give birth?" That's disturbing.
"Yep. Gross isn't it?" She says mischievously. This woman is driving me insane! What does she want? "I don't bite." She taps the spot in the bed next to her and I reluctantly join her. Women are strange.
She moves next to me so there isn't any space at all. "Do you need me to move over?"
"No, this is fine." She sighs. At this point, I mentally kick myself. Now I get it! I wrap an arm around her and she smiles and closes her eyes. "You're good at cuddling."
I smile.
She leans her head against me before opening her eyes, turning to me and whispering seductively, "I know you can do better than that." She reaches for the shirt I am wearing. "Willing to prove it, Haymitch?"
Ever...
"I cooperated tonight." I remind tonight's client. He is none other than Vice President Cole.
Cole nods, "That you did."
"I kept up my end of the deal...I trust you will keep yours?"
"Of course." Says Cole. I nod. He thanks and and I turn to leave.
Animal! Vice President Cole is an Animal! As one of the leaders of Panem one would think he'd have more decency than to force thirteen year old child to sleep with him, knowing that I won't object to protect my father and save one of my tribute's lives! Snow and Cole are nothing more than animals...no, animals are cute and cuddly. Snow and Cole are like cannibals.
The lobby of the Training Center is deserted except for me when I walk in. I beeline to the elevator with unfallen tears flooding my eyes. Luckily, I can still see to press the '12' button. The elevator goes all the way up, stops and opens on the twelfth floor- but I don't get out. Instead, I angrily punch the button to close the doors and, tears starting to fall and blur my vision, search, find and press the '4' button. The elevator does it's job and takes me to Finnick's floor. I run to his door as fast as I can and bang my fists against the door. I probably just woke up the whole floor but I really do not care.
The door to Finnick's room swings open and my surrogate brother comes to the door in nothing but his underwear. The sight of him being practically naked doesn't bother me so it's no surprise that I shove him into his roof and hug him. "Do you need to talk, Ever?" He asks. I am too upset to speak so I just nod. "Get comfy on the bed, kid. I'll get some pants on then we can talk."
"Okay." I mouth.
:( Poor Ever! At least Raemitch adds some comic relief
I really suck at the scenes like the Haymitch/Raewyn one I (attempted to write) wrote so, er, sorry XD

How perfectly hilarious is this? I had my playlist on shuffle while typing the Haymitch POV and guess what song randomly came on? Anyway You Want It/Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' mashup by Glee! Hahaha I nearly died XD
