Okay, here it is! The second to last really short chapter! I will finish this within the next week, at least. This is the last chapter with Finnick, the last chapter is an epilogue, after Mockingjay... Thank you all for reading this! I hope you enjoyed my writing and continue to read other stories of mine! *bow* Thank you, and please read this scene!
Soon I found myself pinned to the bed by a very strong, very warm man. He held me until I finally quit fighting, all the energy falling out of my body. I looked up at the eyes that watched me closely, beautiful sea green eyes that were full of concern... and another emotion which I couldn't quite comprehend coming from this beautiful creature. An emotion I had never seen but always dreamed of.
Love. True love.
"Annie? Why? Why do you finally decide it's time to interact with the real world only to attack Johanna?!" He yelled in my face, hurt blossoming in his god like features. No wonder the women always fall for him. He was absolutely and utterly gorgeous, outdoing any boy I'd ever met before.
I studied his face, taking in the beautiful tan skin and the golden bronze hair that fell around his face. His eyes were wide and I was utterly aware of the feeling of his hands encircling my wrists, his body inches away from mine.
But I couldn't bear to do this. It went against everything I'd ever believed in. I'd told myself five years ago that I would never fall for the womanizer that was Finnick Odair. I, however, found myself doing just that.
I was suddenly brought back to reality when I felt hot tears running down over my cheeks, slipping into my hair. Finnick was gone, having disappeared into thin air, as far as I knew. It took a minute for me to realize that the tears weren't mine, that they were Finnick's.
I raised my hand to my cheeks and felt the tear slip onto my finger. I closed my eyes and slowly and deliberately pressed my finger to my lips. I smiled slightly when I felt the tear slip onto my lips. I let it slip into my mouth and tasted the salty water.
I had to admit, finally, after all these years, that I was in love with Finnick Odair.
When Finnick came back, he sat my dinner down on the nightstand, not looking at me, as if all the life had slipped from him. He turned to leave but I reached my hand out catching his arm so he wouldn't leave. He turned, eyes dead and devoid of life. I'd never seen Finnick like this.
"Please don't leave me." I whispered softly, looking away, scared he would laugh at me, scared I'd judged him wrong.
He hesitated then sat on the bed beside me, shaking his head, "Really, Annie? Why not?"
I looked down and then looked back at him, "Because... Finnick, I never want you to leave me because I never want to lose you." He took one of my hands in his and he waited for me to continue, I didn't.
"Tell me everything Annie." He whispered, eyes filling with life, with caring, and just what I'd seen earlier- love. I took a deep breath and squeezed his hand for support.
How would I explain all my feelings? How would I explain how my views have changed- do I even explain that? What could I say that could sum up everything I've ever felt? Then I found the words, the shortest way of telling him what I feel, "I love you, Finnick Odair."
There was silence. I kept my eyes down, on our hands, twined together on my legs. "Finnick?" Slowly, I looked up, my eyes going up to meet his. He took my chin in his hand not entwined with mine and kissed me softly.
His lips were warm on mine and slowly moved on mine. He was gentle and it didn't last long before he pulled back. He smiled sadly and I couldn't form a sentence for a while. I knew he was waitng for me to say something.
Finally I choked out, "Why did you do that?" I whispered softly.
"Because I've always loved you, Annie." He whispered, smiling again and he leaned forward, pressing his lips against my forehead.
As I said, very very short. Cute, I guess.
Please review for more or less! I would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you again and I hope you enjoy it (as was said earlier). Thank you, thank you all! :D
