2 hours. That's how long I waited for him to come back. 2 hours he was out in the rain probably feeling exactly the same as I did now. 2 hours spent sitting in a damp cave all alone except for my thoughts. 2 hours to think about the kiss. 2 hours to drive myself crazy with questions. 2 hours.
I spent the time sitting in the cave entrance thinking, the questions running through my mind.
What if he kissed me because he thought it was a good angle like the 2 from 12?
What if he liked the publicity they were getting and used me to help him win?
What if he was just playing me to get me to do whatever he said, make me fall for him so that he could manipulate me into letting him win?
What if he was just grief stricken over losing Rue and he was just looking for an outlet and this outlet was me?
What if he only kissed me because I was the only person around?
What if it was because he just needed it before he died?
And the biggest question of all if he did like me did I like him back?
He came back dripping wet and shivering his lips tinged blue. I ran towards him and wrapped a blanket around his shoulders as he had down before with me. He refused to look me in the eyes and he mumbled incoherently into his hands.
'Thresh? What are you saying?'
'I... I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean it... you were just standing there... looking the way you do... perfect I mean... and it just happened... I didn't mean to... I understand if you don't want to be in an alliance with me... I...'
I didn't let him finish his rambling; I grabbed the front of his soaking wet shirt and pulled him down to my height our faces inches away from each other.
'I read in a book once that "A kiss may ruin a human life." it's a good thing that that didn't happen this time isn't it.'
His eyes grew wide as my lips crashed against his, he was a hesitant at first but when he wrapped his arms around my neck I knew that he wanted it just as much as I did. I pulled him closer as he nipped at my lower lip before running his tongue along the seam of my lips in an attempt to gain access into the depths of my mouth. I opened my mouth allowing his tongue to swoop in and tangle with mine in a battle of the wills. He pulled me up into his arms and I wrapped my legs around his waist running my fingers through his damp hair. He pulled me down onto the floor of the cave and was running his hands down the length of my body.
I was hit with a moment of clarity as Thresh's hands began to make their way inside of my shirt, we were on camera. I shoved Thresh away from me and sat up brushing leaves from my hair. Thresh's expression was a mixture of sadness and confusion.
'Wha...'
'We're on camera.'
'Shit' He looked at me and his lips broke out into a smile.
'What the hell are you smiling for?'
'I just kissed the most beautiful woman I've ever met and I thought I was being a complete idiot until she kissed me back and the whole world just saw it on camera.'
It showed how much I cared about Thresh in the fact that he was the only person who could always make me laugh no matter what. Even if we were in a fight to the death and that our first kiss was caught on camera. I pecked him on the lips and dragged him over the fire.
'Come on let's get you warmed up.'
Sorry it took so long getting it out and that it's shorter than usual but I didn't have that much inspiration but I will try and get another one out sooner. Review and favourite and all that stuff. Thanks for all the positive reviews for last chapter.
