Anytime I Want
It's a hot summer day in District Four but even though it is hot it is raining buckets.
Annie opens the door to her house and stands in the middle of Victors' Village and starts twirling around like a young girl. Annie loves when it is hot out and the rain is falling on her skin because it's not cold rain. She says it makes her feel like droplets of sunshine are hitting her skin.
She spins around again.
"What are you doing Annie Cresta?" She hears Finnick shout. Finnick is coming back from the docks after fishing all day that's what he told Annie anyways he was really getting ready to ask Annie something but the bad weather spoiled his plan.
"I'm dancing in the rain what does it look like Finnick." She smiles.
"You look like an idiot." He smiles.
She looks around
"There's no one else around." She smiles and she is right there isn't.
"Oh yeah so nothing is gonna stop me from doing this." He grabs her waist and kiss her. Both of then are soaked but neither care right now.
Annie breaks the kiss.
"I loved that." Annie says and then starts to run towards the beach.
Finnick shakes his head and laughs at Annie's child like nature. He likes when she is like this though because she is in a good mood. He hates it when she stays inside all day. Annie doesn't like swimming but, dancing in the rain and showering have no effect on her.
She gets to the beach and digs her toes in the sand and starts laughing like a child.
"You having fun over there Annie?" Finnick smiles.
"Oh yeah." Annie smiles.
Finnick watches the women he loves dance around the sand and kick it up in the air occassionally. He likes that Annie is in such a good mood so instead of all the planning he did he is just going to ask her right now. On the beach, and in the rain.
"Annie." Finnick runs over to her and grabs her waist and spins her around.
"Yes." She smiles.
"Annie I have been thinking about something for awhile."
"Should I alert the media." She smiles. She starts to put her wet hair up because it is sticking to her face and back.
"No." He smiles and kiss her cheek. "I just wanted to ask you something."
Annie looks at him confused.
"What?" She asks wondering what could he so pressing that he needs to ask her right now instead of letting her play in the rain like a child.
"Annie I love you."
"I love you too." She smiles.
"I love you and I want to spend forever with you. I want to spend the rest of my days with you Annie. I wan to marry you." Finnick says.
Annie is shocked. She doesn't understand the question because well she can't marry him because of the grasp Snow has on him. If it ever leaked to Capitol citizens that Finnick was married there would be hell to pay.
"Aren't you supposed to get down on one knee?" She teases.
Finnick rolls his eyes.
"Is that a yes then?" He asks.
She shakes her head.
"I can't marry you." She says confused.
"Why the hell not?" He asks confused and a little angry.
"Finnick you know why." She says slightly annoyed because she would marry Finnick right here on the spot if she could but she can't because someone is holding her back. Snow is holding there happily ever after, even though it is in arms length that man will always have it if he is alive.
"Mmmh maybe but, I still want to and maybe one day I will be able to." He smiles. Knowing the plans of the rebellion he knows this might be plausible.
"What do you want to marry me for anyways. I'm not really the girl you are supposed to marry. I have all these flaws."
"You are the girl to marry Annie Cresta and everyone has flaws, even me." He smiles and Annie rolls her eyes. "Besides, if you marry me that means I can kiss you anytime I want." He smiles and leans in and kisses her.
She breaks the kiss.
"You can do that now." She says.
"Mmmh I don't think so Annie." He smiles and kisses her again.
She breaks the kiss.
"If we lived in a different world under different circumstance I would say let's go get married this second but-
"Well then Annie promise me this." He smiles.
"What?" She asks confused.
"If the world ever does change and we have better circumstances would you marry me?" He asks already knowing the answer.
"You know I will."
"Then let's just say we have an engagement but with no end date yet."
She smiles.
"Okay." She leans in and kisses him. "Wait." She says.
"What?" He asks.
"Where's my ring?" She teases.
"So high maintenance." He says and kisses her.
"Maybe." She smiles. "Does this mean I can kiss you anytime I want?" She looks up and smiles.
"You can do that now." He repeats her previous statement.
"I know and I like that."
They kiss and forget it is raining because they are so wrapped up in their own word. Even though Annie thinks her marrying Finnick will probably never happen she likes the fact that he asked her. She's glad that he wants to spend forever with her. She suspected it before but it's nice for her to hear it.
