Chapter 8 (FPOV) ( I am going to pick up where I left off)
"Okay lets move on with the game." Clove says between breaths, then spins the bottle.
It lands on... Katniss.
Oolala this will be great!
"Sooo… Katniss… truth or dare?" Clove draws the sentence out for effect. Katniss manages to raise her eyebrow but can't contain the laughter that slips from those beautiful lips.
"Dare." Katniss says confidentially. Clove grins evilly.
"I dare you to give Finnick here," Clove pauses to tap my head," the best lap dance you can come up with." Clove ends her sentence and both of our eyes bulge out of our heads.
"Y-you…W-w-want m-m-me to give Finnick a… l-lap dance?" Katniss finally manages to stutter out. I sit there with a loss of words.
"Yep. Why, are you scared?" Clove says with an evil smirk. Katniss shakes her head then speaks.
"But I don't even know how! If I did I would probably look like a whale having a seizure!" Katniss bursts. A whale? Seizure? Does she think she is fat? There is no way.
"For the last time Katniss, you are not fat! Just because those girls down town call you that doesn't mean you are. They are jealous and trying to get a rise out of you. Your beautiful!" Clove tells her. I smile sadly but on the inside I really want to hurt who ever had the guts to hurt MY Katniss.
"Whatever." Katniss says. Then the rest of the group, including me, start laughing. Clove and Katniss look around at us, befuddled.
"Did you hear yourself when you were talking about the lap dance?" Marvel yells. Katniss and Clove finally get it and laugh awkwardly.
"Okay on with the next person!" Katniss says loud enough to hear over the roaring laughter. We all quiet down but notice the lap dance is missing.
"Katniss?" Katniss looks back to Cato and groans.
"Do I really have to? Can't I just… kiss him?" She asks while blushing immensely. They all chuckle and say okay. Katniss waltzes over to where I am sitting and gives me a big sloppy kiss.
"Hey you did that on purpose!" I roar. Not angrily but playfully.
"I didn't tell you how I would kiss you." Katniss tells me with a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
"Fine but I will get you back later! I tell her, pointing and accusing finger at her. She giggles and kisses my finger. I smile and hug my hand playfully.
"Oh I will always treasure it for as long as I live." I tell her. She giggles and I feel my heart flutter up higher until it reaches my throat. But what she doesn't know is that I will treasure it. If I get anything from Katniss I would always treasure it no matter what it is because it came from her. I think to myself.
"Ok love birds! Lets get on with the game!" Clove protests. We smile at her sweetly and stay quiet.
"Ok so Katniss spin the bottle." Cato tells her.
"No duh genius." Katniss fires back. I laugh quietly along with the others. Katniss reaches over to spin the bottle. She spins it until it lands on Marvel.
"Truth or dare Marvie?" Katniss asks in a sickly sweet tone.
"Truth." Marvel states looking scared.
"Why?" I ask.
"Katniss is like the head game maker when it comes to dares!"(A/N: see where I used that ;) ) Cato states. I look to Katniss and she mouths the words, try it, and then she smirks. I look ahead. Well… at least I have been warned.
"Well Marvel, who do you like best in this room?" Katniss asks him. Marvel blushes a scarlet. He murmurs something really quick.
"I'm sorry what?" We all ask. This time he says it louder.
"I like Madge, okay!" He exclaims. Gale looks a little mad at this. Hmmm…. He must like her to. Madge's face now matches Marvels and we all grin. Marvel reaches over to spin the bottle and when he does it spins the longest. When it finally ceases to a stop it lands on Cato.
"Truth or dare Brotha!" Marvel says. Probably trying to clear up the whole awkward situation between him and Madge.
"Dare." He says looking bored.
"Strip down to your underwear and do the best dance you know to your favorite song." Marvel tells him. Cato gives us all a toothy grin. He takes off his shirt and I look over to see Katniss is unfazed by this. Thank you god!I know they are like brother and sister but they are not really in the same family. Next he takes off his pants. He throws them at Marvel and takes out his Ipod. He turns on the music and, I'm sexy and I know It by LMFAO, comes on. Cato turns back to us then does the Gangnam style dance. We all stifle a few giggles. Then he turns to me and drags me to the middle of the room.
"Get everyone to dance!" Cato yells to me over the music. I nod and walk over to Katniss. I take her hand and drag her in the middle of the room.
"Get everyone to dance!" Cato yells once again. Katniss smiles and nods. She goes over to Madge and Marvel and takes their hands to pull them up. Everyone else seems to get the message and joins us all in the middle of the room. Now we all are dancing when a slow song comes on. Marvel pairs up with Madge, which Gale looks pretty mad about, Katniss and I pair up, Cato and Clove pair up. They are not a couple though because they are brother and sister but they are going to dance for fun. They just won't be dancing the way we all are. They will keep their distance. At that thought I laugh a little. That just leaves Gale alone. He stands off to the side smiling at us but other than that you can see the jealousy sketched all over his face. Well I guess it's his fault he didn't ask her out. I still feel little sorry for him. I haven't known him that long but I can stand to have a conversation with him. I just think that he complains way to much and maybe just a little full of it. I have heard of a lot of fights that have gone on before I even made it to this school and it seems that he was a problem with almost everyone of them. He's not someone I would usually hang out with but as long as Katniss is okay with it, I am. I look over to Katniss and see her staring intently at me. I raise an eyebrow and it's like she just noticed I was looking back at her.
"What is your favorite color?" Katniss asks me at random. I raise my other eyebrow at her and reply.
"Ocean blue. But know I think it has turned to a steel gray." I wink at her and give her a flirtatious smile even though I already won her over. I know I already have because she said she can't imagine life without me and she gives me kisses. She blushes up at me and flashes one of her breath taking smiles. My own breathe gets caught in my throat as I gaze down to her.
"What's your favorite color?" I ask her back. She raises her eyebrows mocking me and stifles a giggle.
"Now? Well it is somewhere between a Forest green and your green eyes." She winks back and gives me the same smile I gave her.
"Hey! You got to come up with your own ways of flirting!" I protest. Katniss giggles.
"But I think it's more fun doing it the Finnick way." She states as she reaches up to give me a kiss. We are about a centimeter apart when someone clears their throat. Again it is Marvel.
"Seriously?! Every time we are going to kiss or are kissing one of you guys interrupt us! It's no fair!" I protest yet again while giving Katniss one of my best puppy dog faces. When Katniss see it she bursts out laughing.
"F-Finnick… you l-look… like a constipated bulldog!" She finally manages to yell out. I blush and wipe the look off my face. When Katniss sees it she continues.
"But it's really cute. You should make it more often." She winks at me and giggles a little more. Then she walks back up to me and gives me a kiss. As soon as our lips meet I swear I can see the fireworks behind my eyes. I open my eyes in the middle of the kiss to see Katniss' expression. She looks.. peaceful, happy. She is so cute. I close my eyes once again and bring my hand up to her face. Then I break the kiss. We are both slightly out of breath so I lean our foreheads together. Then someone clears their throat again. It was Marvel. No shock there.
"Marvel! You just ruined the moment. Again!" I tell him. He smirks and then sticks his tongue out at me. Katniss lounges for it and snatches it between her fingers.
"Ha-ha!" She proudly hollers.
"Swerioulyy what it up wit yoou nd tongues?" Marvel tells us. But since Katniss has his tongue he sounds really weird. He was saying, 'Seriously what is up with you and tongues?' (A/N: I am sorry if that little mess up there bothers you. You know with the whole tongue language lol.) I look back to Katniss and smile. She is so goofy when she wants to be.
"Okay I will let up just this once. But only because I am in a good mood." She tells him pointing a finger at him then lets go of his tongue. He rubs his tongue over exaggeratedly. We all laugh. Then Clove starts telling us about her project.
"Me and Cato have to do a project and we have to have it in by next week. We are going to do it Saturday." She states. I see Katniss smile then she speaks up.
"That's what she said." Katniss says laughing quietly.
"Katniss! You have such a dirty mind!" Clove yells back at her.
"I do not have a dirty mind," Katniss states holding a hand up to her heart," I, my friend, have a sexy imagination." Katniss tells her then crosses her arms over her chest. I laugh a little. She is quick on her toes.
"Hey do you guys want to go to the movies?" Cato asks us.
"I have really been wanting to go see, Paranormal Activity 4, it's suppose to be really scary." Cato offers. We all look at each other and nod. That's when I remember the letters. Well I guess Katniss and I can read them later. I really don't want those words on her mind though. I walk over to Katniss and nuzzle my head into her neck. She smells like strawberries.
"Do you want to go?" I ask her. She laughs and turns around to look at me.
"Yeah it will be fun. I have also been wanting to be seeing that scary movie also. Before everything happen with my father, I use to watch scary movies with my mother. We would have our very own special night to do that." She tells me. I smile.
"Okay. Katniss and I will go to." I say. Everyone cheers and we head out to the cars. We all hop in and some people end up sitting on others laps. Katniss of coarse sits on my lap. When she is sitting on my lap our heads our level with each other. I sit there just staring at our intertwined hands. It seems like it was barely even minute before we all make it to the move theater. We all walk in and buy our tickets. Then we get the food and drinks then walk into our theater room. We sit down in the back room and get adjusted into our seats. Just as Katniss and I get seated a bunch of loud boys bust through the doors of the theater. They choose to sit down on the other side of Katniss. Katniss turns her head over to me and her expression is hard to make out with all of the darkness. So I squeeze her hand reassuringly, telling her not to worry. Then they guys start to bug her. I guess they are trying to show off.
"Hi I'm Randy." The guy beside her says. Katniss lifts her head up as to say, 'Hi', Then looks back down to the screen.
"I have a question. Why do you and Clove over there wear bras if you have nothing to put in them?" The guy named Randy asks her. I am momentarily blind with anger until I hear what Katniss responds back with.
"Same reason you wear pants, buddy." She comments. I just realized the rest of the gang were listening and laughed. The other guys friends must have heard it to and started laughing.
"I would offer you some water but you are just too burnt it wouldn't matter." One of the guys tell him over all of the laughter. The laughter dies down and the rest of the guys, except for 'Randy', come over to Katniss.
"Hey you're really cool." Some of them say. Katniss nods and looks over to our group. I guess it doesn't effect her any when people she doesn't know comment her. Well at least I know she will blush for me.
"That was really good Kitty." I whisper in her ear. She nods and blushes giving me a huge kiss. That's when I hear one of the guys in the other group say something like, ' Aww man! She is already taken!', I snort as soon as I end the kiss then I whisper in her ear,
"You won't leave me for any of those guys will you?" I ask her. She looks at me like I have just breathed fire. I look back at her and she replies.
"You know I wouldn't leave you! They aren't nearly the man you are. I love you Finnick. Never forget that." She whispers back. A ghost of a smile appears on my face at her words. I give her another kiss when the movie starts.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The movie was scary. I almost jumped into Katniss's arms during the movie. I know it was supposed to be the other way around but I couldn't help it. I am just like that when I watch a scary movie. Katniss laughed every time I jumped about a foot up into the air. That Randy kid didn't bug us for the rest of the movie but the other guys were asking for Katniss' phone number. She just pretended to race me. We ran outside. It was really dark and a warm rain just started to drizzle down, soaking Katniss and I in the process. I turn to Katniss and smile.
"Ever been kissed in the rain?" I ask her. She shakes her head.
"You were my first kiss." She states. That really gives me a boost as I lean down to kiss her. As soon as our lips meet this time I see the stars. Kind of like the ones that are surrounding us now. The kiss was so amazing. It is diffidently the best kiss we have had so far. Especially with the rain and the stars. It just makes it so romantic. We break apart, this time completely breathless. I look at Katniss and say,
"That was the best moment possible." She nods and replies,
"I agree completely." She smiles and bites her lip. Nothing can ruin this night.
