Hiya! So..alot of people are sad because the Katniss/Finnick pairing is temporary...but if it makes you feel better...I'm thinking of starting a Katnick fic! Eh? Eh? Thank you for reviewing your thoughts, it helps alot on how the story goes! ^.^
NEW! - Figure this out and you get something very major thing that will happen in future chapters spoiled to you.
One day the wizard decided to take a bath. He walked all the way up his tower where his bathroom is. His bathroom had stone walls and a roof. No windows. When he stepped into the bathtub, he turned on the faucet and let the water flow. But then when he went to turn it off, it broke and the water continued to spew out. He wrapped a towel around himself and ran to the door, but he accidentally woke up the cat that slept in the bathroom. The cat ran ahead of him and the door closed behind the cat. The wizard tried to open it but it was locked from the outside. How will he get out now? Or will he let the overflowing water drown him? WITHOUT USING MAGIC
Figure it out and I will spoil something very big!
Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.
Chapter 8- Dates and Confrontation
Katniss POV
Enjoy this medium lengh chapter...
It has been two days since I was released from the hospitol, meaning I missed at least a day of classes. But it's okay since I was excused by the doctor. My injuries have fully healed and he says my amnesia hasn't really wore off yet. I'm still a bit fuzzy on memories like I can't remember what I got for my 15th birthday and what my mother's maiden name is. My friends are helping remember though by telling me to repeat a short summary of my life whenever I feel like forgeting.
So..
My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am eighteen years old, turning nineteen on May 8. I attend Capitol University in California and I am from Savannah, Georgia.
Today Finnick is taking me somewhere. He won't tell me where though, just that I will love it. I sigh and put on my strapless yellow sundress that ends inches above my knees. Yellow isn't really my color but it fits with today's weather, sunny. I slip on some leather sandals since it's so hot and make my way towards the apple tree where Finnick told me to meet him at.
I lean against the rough trunk and daydream about the oceans near my home in Savannah. I don't even notice Finnick's breath on my ear when he puts his mouth there.
"Wassup Kitty Kat?"
I twist around. "Hey Finn."
Hey takes my hand with a mischieveous smile and leads me to a place behind the fence that surrounds the whole University.
"Are we allowed to be off campus?" I ask
"Yeah and by the way can you walk any faster?" He smirks at the way I'm struggling to keep up with his pace. I almost fell on my face by some twigs if it weren't for his hand.
"I can in fact if you weren't dragging me." I cross my arms over my chest like a five year old and lift my chin.
"Fine but we're almost there." He leads me deeper into the woods and I become more confused.
"What are we doing in the woods? I know the scenery's beautiful but what exactly is the point? Not that I'm complaining-"
He chuckles at me, "If you think these trees are beautiful you should check out this." He says and then pushes some bushes apart to reveal a gorgeous meadow filled with colorful flowers and plants with a perfect streak of sunlight seeping through the tree canopy. And what sits in the middle of it all is a red and white checkered blanket with a picnic basket on top. Right next to it is a glistening, flowing waterfall. It's all so beautiful.
I'm speechless at first but then I finally snap out of my daze, "Oh my god Finn!"
"You like it?"
"I love it!" I pounce on him with happiness and wrap my arms tight around his neck.
He laughs at me again, "I knew you would. Sit. Sit."
I do as he says and sit indian style on the blanket, regardless that I'm wearing a dress. Finnick doesn't seem to care either.
He has packed all my favorite food, cheese buns, lamb stew, brownies, chocolate dipped strawberries, chocolate chip muffins and orange juice.
"Oooh."
He takes a strawberry and dips in a pot of chocolate. He puts it near my mouth and slightly tilts his head to the side.
I bite it out of his hand and after I swallow it, I slowly lick the rest of the chocolate off his fingers and still keeping my eyes on him just for fun. He smiles out of amusement. "Was my fingers more delicious than the strawberries?" His head stays tilted and his smile turns into a smirk.
"Yes." I answer casually, "It tastes like sugar for some reason. I wonder why?" I tap my finger on my chin and narrow my eyes suspiciously at him.
He throws his hands up in surrender, "You got me. I brought sugar cubes. Don't kill me." He squeaks and buries his head into his hands. I accidentally let out a giggle at his playfulness, "I won't kill you...for now."
His finger move apart a bit to reveal his eyes. "Really?"
"Really." I punch him lightly on the shoulder.
"You know for a girl you can be scary sometimes.."
"I've heard..."
"But you don't scare me." He grins like a proud kid who just got the highest IQ score.
"You're action just five seconds ago really proved alot..." I purse my lips to keep another stupid giggle from bursting out of my mouth. I must be turning red.
He pouts and then his frown turns upside down. "Hey! Let's watch the waterfall!"
I shrug, "Sure. I'm finished eating anyways."
We both walk to the waterfall and just stand there watching it...
"It's so beautiful."
"Yup." He says popping the 'p'
"You know what else is beautiful?" He walks over to me and buries his head in my loose hair while wrapping his arms around my waist to pull me closer to him from behind.
I roll my eyes at him. "That's cheesy. I know you're going to say me."
"Aw you figured me out. You get a prize!"
"What prize?" I say slowly and suspiciously.
"This." I'm confused at first but then he pushes me towards the water. I try to maintain my balance but he pushes me again and I fall in.
"Finnick!" I scream.
"Sorry! I tripped on a sugar cube!" He places a hand over his mouth and looks at me with utter fake shock before he dives into the water with me.
He resurfaces right in front of me with a seductive smile on his face. He wiggles his eyebrows and says, "You wanna have fun?" and then he looks at my chest?...
My eyebrows are raised in confusion. "What are you looking at?" I ask before my eyes reluctantly look down. I see what he was looking at and I immediately cover my chest in an attempt to be modest even though he already saw me. My dress must of slipped off when he pushed me into the water and also, I forgot to wear a bra this morning.
Finnick throws his head back and starts to guffaw loudly. "K-Kat, I already saw you." He says between laughs and that's when I realize that he's shirtless. I blush and put my head down onto my chest.
"Please go get my dress..." I murmur awkwardly while still blushing.
He swims out to the waterfall to retrieve my dress and hands it to me when he come back. "Turn around."
He gives me a toothy grin and obeys. When we're back to back he says, "You know, I was right about you having a nice body. I wish I was at that club! Johanna should have texted me. That bitch." He chuckles and I turn around to slap him upside the head.
"Heheh." He rubs the back of his head. "No need to get feisty. It was a complement."
I roll my eyes and proceed to put my dress over my raised arms but something pokes me in the side and causes me to jump.
"Finnick!"
"Erm finger spasms." he replies
When my dress is over my arms it falls down and flows out on top of the water. I swim to the shore and crawl out along with Finnick.
"Wasn't that fun?" he asks. I respond to his question by sticking out my tongue. "Sure."
"OH MY GOD!"
I look up at him surprised by his sudden outburst. He has his palms on either side of his head and he paces the forest floor.
"What is it Finnick?"
"I think my cake is burning."
"C-Cake?" I try not to laugh. I never knew he baked, I thought that was Peeta's thing. Teheh now we have two baker boys.
"Yes. Peeta made me take cooking out of all things available at this university and now I burnt my cake back in the kitchen." He face palms himself and it is so adorable. I remember Cato used to do that.. It's one of my memories that isn't fuzzy. What am I doing? I shake Cato from my thoughts.
I smile ear to ear and it's so wide I think my face will split in half. "Lets get back then." I walk past him but he grabs my arm.
"Wait."
"Oh yeah we forgot the picnic basket!" I say
"No! I wanted to ask you something."
I cross my arms over my chest and furrow my eyebrows. "No I do not know how to revive a burnt cake when we get back."
He rolls his eyes at me "No. I wanted to ask you if you'd uh," He rubs the back of his neck "be my girlfriend?"
I arch an eyebrow at him and look at him in a questioning way, "So after all that kissing and this date, you thought we were just friends?"
"OH! I just wanted to make sure." He smiles widely like me and places his arm around my waist and taps my nose.
"Kay." and I practically skip back to campus, which is very weird of me. Maybe I'm just happy.
We separate after I'm right in front of my dorm so he can go attend to his cake. My hand is on the golden knob and right when I'm about to open the door a voice stops me.
"Had a nice evening?" his voice drips with bitterness.
I turn around to face him. "Yes." I say monotone "What do you want?"
He pulls me into my room with a tight grip on my forearm. I rip it out of his hold and bark at him. "What do you want now?"
"I'll just skip to the point. Please forgive me."
I'm confused. Forgive him for doing what?
"Forgive you for..."
"You know. For hurting you."
"Hurting me physically?"
"And mentally. I'm sorry I ment to hit Finnick, you weren't supposed to jump in front for him."
"Fine I forgive you on that but don't touch Finnick again. And what do you mean Cato? How did you hurt me mentally?" Fucking stupid amnesia. I know I hate Cato but I don't remember why, only that he caused my anmesia and pain.
He lets out a long breath and puffs his cheeks before he continues, "In the 11th grade."
"What happened in the 11th grade? I don't remember because you made me lose some of my memories after you knocked me out cold." I frown and try to dig deep into my brain for any bad memories of the 11th grade, but I don't remember.
"You don't remember?"
"No..."
"Do you know Glimmer?"
I fidget slightly at her name. I know I hate her too, but I don't know why either.
"No. I don't know her but I think I hate her."
Suddenly a mischievous smile creeps up onto his face.
"You don't remember us either?"
"Well, I remember that we were best of friends since the 7th grade."
"Yes and you know what else you forgot?"
My confusion must show on my face because he continues,
"We were girlfriend and boyfriend before you lost your memories and you cheated on me with Finnick." I sense dishonesty behind his voice but for some reason I believe him.
Oh no Katniss, stupid memory lost. What will Katniss do next? What about Finnick? Cato claims that they are girlfriend and boyfriend and Katniss believes him! Wow. He is such a great actor.
CLIFFY!
-With Love.
I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS! (:
