Katniss looked over at Johanna who still seemed to be fast asleep. She wanted to tell her to leave, but felt kind of bad about it. She smiled to herself noticing how peaceful Johanna looked when she was asleep. But that thought was quickly dismissed when she remembered the effect that Effie had on her.
No one could hold a candle to Effie. Her thoughts were interrupted by another knock on the door causing her to rush out closing the door behind her. After rushing to the door in a frantic state, Katniss opened it, and was reminded why she was in this situation in the first place.
She looked into the eyes of the most enchanting woman she had ever seen. The sunlight fell down upon the woman's porcelain skin. Katniss stared at the woman's colorful attire. Today she wore a light pink wig, blue top with green buttons, blue mini skirt, and pink stilettos.
Katniss couldn't help but size the woman up. She couldn't help but stare at the exposed cleavage of the woman's top. "Hello there Katniss." Effie said in her Capitol accent. "H-hi" Katniss stammered returning her gaze back to the woman's face.
"I'm sure that you're quite upset and in no mood to talk to me, but I'd like to apologize for what happened the night you stayed over. I never realized that you felt that way about me, so it took me by surprise." She began. Katniss couldn't find the words to say so she continued to listen.
"I may be with Haymitch but—" "Hey there Everdeen." Johanna's voice interrupted. Katniss froze in fear. She mentally scolded herself now for not telling Johanna to leave out the window. Turning around she saw Johanna wearing a sly grin wrapped in a bedsheet.
Disappointment began to show in Effie's eyes. Katniss hated that this was happening now. Right at the moment when the woman of her dreams was going to tell her something that seemed to be going into the right direction. Half of her felt horrible that she had slept with Johanna, but the other half didn't because Effie didn't return her feelings.
"Oh, Johanna…dear…how lovely to see you." Effie said with a fake smile. Johanna scanned the woman's flamboyant attire, rolling her eyes. "Why is British Lady Gaga here?" she asked Katniss, getting a sharp look from Effie. Katniss tried her best to stay calm in the intensity. "Still no manners I see." Effie commented.
"Still no body, I see." Johanna replied snidely before disappearing back into the house. Katniss sighed in frustration. She looked back up at Effie who wore a questionable look. She knew what she wanted to know. "Did you two...?" she asked not wanting to finish the rest of the sentence.
Katniss looked deep into the woman's blue eyes. She couldn't stand the painful look on her face. She instantly regretted sleeping with Johanna. Katniss lowered her head in disappointment. "Effie, I'm sorry. It's just—" Effie suddenly moved passed her, walking into the house. This surprised Katniss. She had expected the woman to go in the opposite direction.
Katniss closed the door behind her turning around to face the woman. They were standing only a few inches apart. Katniss could smell the familiar scent of vanilla. She felt herself falling in love all over again. She looked down at the woman's small pink lips feeling the urge to kiss them. "The night you confessed your feelings, I wasn't very truthful with you. I used Haymitch as an excuse which was wrong of me. Or the fact that we come from different districts. I do hope that you can forgive me." Effie whispered. Katniss couldn't believe what was happening now. The small space between them was driving her mad. All she could do was nod. She felt like an idiot, but the woman's presence made it difficult.
Effie flashed her an alluring smile. Katniss admired the woman's charming glow. Being with her felt like the best thing in the world. Just being in the same room as Effie did more to her feelings than sleeping with Johanna. Katniss returned the smile, trying to hide her blush.
Effie moved closer placing her arms on Katniss's shoulders. Her core began to throb as she felt Effie press her body against hers. Katniss wrapped her arms around the woman's slender waist. Their faces began to inch closer.
As their lips were about to touch, they were interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. They turned around to see Johanna, fully dressed standing there with a mischievous grin. "Gosh Everdeen, good with the ladies, I see!" she commented with a laugh.
Katniss face turned completely red as the woman approached them. She noticed that Effie's had turned red as well. "Don't let me ruin the moment here." Johanna said with a slight chuckle. "Later Gaga" she said with a snicker getting an eye roll from Effie. Johanna stepped outside but turning around one more time. "You aren't going to sleep with a straight girl are you?" Johanna asked with a smart aleck grin.
"Goodbye Johanna" Katniss said getting annoyed. There was a brief moment of silence before Johanna walked away. Katniss looked at Effie who looked upset. The only thing Katniss could think of doing was hugging her. Effie seemed surprised by this.
"Ignore her." Katniss finally said trying to forget the girl's words. She wasn't sure why they bothered her. Effie had just confessed her feelings to Katniss. She obviously wasn't straight. Katniss inhaled the woman's scent once more.
They eventually broke the hug, gazing into each other's eyes. Being this close to the woman drove her wild. She wanted more. She needed more. As if the woman read her mind, she suddenly pressed her lips against hers.
Effie's lips were soft. Her kiss was light, but sent her hormones in a frenzy. Katniss couldn't believe this was happening. Everything about this felt right. It was like no other kiss she had before. She pulled the woman in closer deepening the kiss.
She felt Effie's tongue beg for entrance, to which she happily accepted. Each girl's tongue began massaging the others, fighting for dominance. Effie's tongue seemed to dance in her mouth. Katniss kissed the woman with deep passion. She felt as though she were a prince kissing a princess after a long journey.
Eventually breaking the kiss, Effie looked into Katniss's eyes. Her lips formed into a slight curvaceous smile. Katniss felt as though she had been walking on air. "Effie?" Katniss asked nervously.
"Yes?" Effie replied flashing her another beautiful smile. "I….I love you." Katniss stammered.
