Katniss couldn't believe that she was invited to stay over at Effie's. The gorgeous Effie Trinket asked her to sleep over. The only downside was that she had forgotten to bring pajamas. Later on that evening, Effie offered her some of her flamboyant nightgowns, but Katniss politely declined.
Katniss decided to wear her under clothes. A t-shirt and boy shorts. Leaving the large and elegant bathroom, she walked over to the couch, taking a seat. Effie had not returned from upstairs yet and Katniss's mind began to race about how the evening may turn out.
She then started thinking about how Effie was dating Haymitch which quickly shut those thoughts down. Haymitch had just said that he was kidding, but she wasn't certain he was telling the truth.
Katniss had also wondered how District 13 would know this. Had she given off any clues from before? She didn't recall telling anyone anything about her sexuality. Plus she had just recently discovered her feelings for Effie, so it would have been impossible.
Her troubled thoughts were put to a rest when she heard someone coming down the stairs. She turned around to see Effie wearing a short pink nightgown made of silk. She also noticed that the woman had taken off most of her make-up and wig. She had long beautiful blonde hair. "Great! Now I really won't be getting over her any time soon" Katniss thought.
The woman looked even more phenomenal than usual. Katniss felt as though she was looking at an angel. "I hope I didn't take too long. I know we were going to watch a movie. Did you pick something yet?" Katniss was speechless. All she could do was shake her head.
Effie looked at her slightly confused. "Are you alright?" Katniss finally found the strength to speak. "Y-Yeah." Katniss's eyes ran down the woman's body. Effie noticed this blushing. Did she actually just blush? "Katniss dear is there something the matter? Haven't you seen a woman wear a nightgown before?" Effie asked in concern.
Katniss turned away completely flushed. "Of-of course I have." Katniss stammered. Effie walked in front of her noticing her attire. "Boxer briefs?" she asked raising in eye brown in curiosity. "They're comfy!" Katniss said defensively.
Effie chuckled handing her the remote. She had Capiflix, so they could pick any movie that was on instant streaming. Katniss decided to settle for a horror movie called "The Lady in the Radiator". It was absolutely disturbing.
Effie screamed a few times and eventually ended up clinging onto Katniss. Katniss blushed at the feeling of the woman's body pressed against hers. Katniss couldn't believe this was happening. She was surprised that the woman didn't notice her blushing. She tried to keep her cool.
Which was going good until something jumped out at the screen and Katniss found that Effie had suddenly moved to her lap. Her core was throbbing at the contact. "I hate when they do that! I hate it so much!" Effie cried. Katniss laughed at this, trying to ignore the pheromones.
Her vanilla scent had once again invaded Katniss's nostrils. Katniss wished that they could stay like this forever. If the house collapsed on them at this moment, she would have died happy. A half hour went by and the movie had ended.
Effie shifted off of her lap and onto the cushion next to her on the sofa. She curled up her legs looking at the girl with a strange curiosity. "So, are you ready to talk about what happened earlier?" she asked.
Katniss's heart sank to her stomach. She wasn't exactly ready to talk about it. She knew the woman really wanted to know why she reacted that way. Katniss couldn't blame her. It was an extreme reaction, but Katniss felt as though she had been cornered.
"I'm not gay." Katniss stated, surprising herself. There was an awkward silence. The woman looked into her eyes as though she were searching for something. God she was beautiful. Katniss couldn't help, but stare right back. "I guess what he said made me feel uncomfortable. I over reacted. That's all." Katniss lied, turning away.
There was a long silence before Effie finally spoke. "Alright dear." She whispered, placing a soft kiss on the girl's cheek. She stood up motioning for the girl to come with her. "Come come! I'll show you to your room!"
Katniss followed the woman upstairs unable to take her eyes off of the woman's perfect figure. The woman showed her to her room, which was right down the hall from hers. The room looked like something out of a luxury living catalog.
Exquisite paintings decorated the walls. The dressers were made out of mahogany and the floors were white marble. A grand view of The Capitol lay just outside the large windows and balcony. The skyline lit up like neon.
The sky was full of stars that night. It was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. Regardless of all of the corruption that went along with it, the Capitol was absolutely beautiful. Effie told her goodnight before returning to her room.
Later that night…
Katniss's face was completely covered in sweat. She tossed and turned in her sleep. She cried out a few times. "No..please…don't!" she cried. Moments later Effie rushed into the guest room, finding the girl stirring in her troubled sleep.
Effie found this quite unsettling. Effie lightly shook the girl awake. "Katniss please wake up. You're having a nightmare." She whispered softly. Katniss opened her eyes to find the beautiful woman looking down at her with a worried expression.
She looked around trying to gain familiarity with her surroundings. "Are you alright?" Effie asked with a voice full of concern. Katniss shook her head, still disturbed about the horrific dream she had.
"You and I were in some village and I was trying to protect you from the angry villagers. They wanted to kill you for some reason. I don't know why. I tried to protect you, but they took you away from me and I couldn't…I couldn't save you and—" Katniss blurted as tears began to fall down her cheeks. "Shhh" Effie said trying to calm her. "Can I get in?" the woman whispered in her sweet voice.
Katniss willingly scooted over, allowing the woman access into the bed. The woman slid in next to her folding her legs so that her knees would support her. Suddenly the woman had wrapped her arms around her.
Katniss felt as though her nightmare had ended and she was now in her wildest dreams. She returned the hug pulling the woman closer to her. "It's alright my dear. It was only a dream. I'm safe. You're fine. Everyone is safe." She whispered soothingly.
The woman rubbed circles on her back. This drove Katniss crazy. It felt amazing. The way their bodies were pressed together made her feel weak. Katniss could feel the woman's breasts through her shirt.
Katniss felt as though she had lost complete control of herself and fell back onto the mattress bringing the woman down with her. In a matter of seconds Effie was straddling her. Katniss face went completely red.
"Oh my goodness!" Effie giggled. Katniss took in the woman's beauty. The moonlight was casting an enchanting glow upon her face. Looking into the woman's mesmerizing blue eyes, Katniss could take it anymore.
She propped herself up on her elbows, softly grabbed the woman's face and pressed their lips together. Effie's eyes widened in shock at this. The woman's lips felt so good against hers. However, she couldn't feel Effie kissing back.
This frightened Katniss so she suddenly pulled away. The woman looked as though she were in complete shock, but still didn't move. "I'm sorry Effie. I'm so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. But I can't hold this in anymore. I love you. I didn't realize why I was feeling this way before. Ever since the games ended, I've missed you so much. I miss seeing your face, I miss hearing the sound of your voice, your laugh, everything." Katniss couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth.
Katniss instantly regretted this when she felt Effie climbing off of her. "Fuck…I'm sorry." She cried. Tears begin to swell up in her eyes. She looked over to see the woman lying in the space next to her, staring up as though she were lost in space.
"I'm sorry Effie. But I think Haymitch was right. I am…that way. I like girls." She cried as the tears began to fall down her face. The woman looked at her with an unreadable facial expression. This bothered Katniss greatly. "I'm sorry. I have to go." Katniss started to climb out of bed when she felt two arms wrap around her waist.
For some reason this made her cry tears of sadness and joy. She felt as though she were feeling a new emotion. "Katniss, I'm so sorry. I had no idea that you were feeling this way. I won't let you go through this alone." She whispered softly against the girl's neck.
This made Katniss shiver with excitement. Did the woman feel the same way or did she just pity her? Katniss turned around to face the beautiful woman. Effie ran her fingers through the girl's hair. Her touch was so light.
"Katniss…" she began.
