Sorry for the late update I've been having some family issues...so yeah sorry!
Katniss's POV
After that awkward moment when Peeta told me he spoke Italian, I couldn't look him in the eye. It was mortifying! I mean it was the most awkward experience I have ever experienced! Well almost. There were a lot of awkward experiences I have gone through... We took the elevator up and I saw luggage all over. What the hell? What's the fuck is going on? "Hello?"
All of a sudden people jump out of the living room. Except it's not just any people. It's 2 of my closest friends Jo and Clove and some other people. I'm speechless for a second before I blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. "GUYS! What the hell are you doing here?!"
"We came to surprise you brainless!"
"Yeah, I kinda figured, but how did you exactly afford it? I know for a fact that you guys don't have that type of money, no offense."
"None taken, but we didn't pay" says Annie softly.
"Care to elaborate?"
"Oh well Katniss dear, we decided to fly some of the winners friends over here for a week. This suite has more than enough space hmm?" Asked Effie, who I had not noticed until now.
"Uh yeah it has 10 bedrooms and bathrooms." Answered Peeta who I noticed is with two tall, blonde men that look a lot like him.
"10? Oh surely you have not explored thoroughly, after all you have a whole floor, in this giant hotel! According to my information this floor/suite has 13 rooms and bathrooms. Plus a movie theater, spa/salon, dressing rooms for each of the winners, and a gym. Usually floors have up to 30 rooms here but since this has hallways, living rooms, etc. it is less rooms. Anyways I'm sure there will be more than enough space for all of you."
"Ok then, well let's get you guys settled in!"
I got my Ipod dock and Ipod and put it on shuffle. We started carrying Jo's things first. This girl is crazy she brought six fucking suitcases! Me and Jo are carrying the first two when she starts talking.
"So how are you?" she asks, thinking that I'm still upset about Gale.
"I'm better than ever," I respond. She looks at me weirdly so I decide to elaborate.
"Well," I start, "I've been thinking and if I stayed with Gale it would have ended one way or another, our personalities are too similar. We know practically everything about each other, which in some cases is good, just not in ours. We were like family, and if I stayed we would have constant fights which would result in us getting hurt and hurting each other. Plus, I loved him but I don't think I was in love with him. I don't think I could ever be capable of being in love with him, sure I would have learned how to make it look real, but I think that wouldn't be fair to either of us. If I stayed with him, I would have settled, and my father once told me 'Everdeens don't settle', and I intend on keeping that as true as can be."
"Wow, Brainless, that sounded deep. You must have done a lot of thinking. I'm just glad that you're not moping over him, he was an asshole sometimes. I'm glad to see you going back to your normal self. But I have to warn you, this trip, I'm taking over. Now that you're single we'll be going out more and since I know how you dress when we go out, I'll be dressing you in clothes I decide look good on you. Got it?" I nod dumbly.
You're all probably wondering why I would agree to such a ridiculous idea but I have reasons. 1) She's got Clove. 2) I've seen them with weapons and even though I'm good with the bow, I couldn't take both of them on. 3) I need to get out of my shell, and I know Jo will help me along with Clove. 4) I may have someone I want to impress on this trip, and knowing how good Jo is at making me look sexy and beautiful I know I'll accomplish my goal. 5) I want to see some reactions, I mean come on I'm a girl, I want some attention at times.
Jo smirks when I nod and I see an evil glint in her eye. "Great, cause we're going out tonight, come by my room at 6 we'll be leaving at 8."
Instead of questioning her, I nod slowly and decide it's best not to argue. I can't wait to see how this night will turn out, hopefully for the better.
After we finished putting everyone's luggage away, we all gathered in the living room. I sat down on the couch next to Peeta, when I remembered we were wearing the same colors, but by then it was too late, everyone had seen. Well whatever then, I don't give a fuck. They all look at us and start whispering sometimes I hate my friends. After they stop talking we start introducing everyone.
I was introduced to 3 people, Finnick's friend Alex and Peeta's brothers Phil and Rye. Apparently Prim and Cato were asked if they wanted a friend flown in but they both declined saying that they wanted to get away from their normal life for a while. By the time we finish talking it's 5:30 and dread fills my veins.
At 6 I make my way to Jo's room and find her and Clove there already, studying a piece of paper. They look up then smile at each other devilishly. They've planned something. Now I'm worried. They take me down some halls to a room. When I open the door I'm speechless once again. It's a giant closet. It's like a department store with tons of clothes all my size. Plus shoes, purses and anything else I may need.
They shove me into the bathroom only giving me a towel, a strapless bra, and underwear, telling me to shower. I do so quickly and then step out to dry myself off. I pick up my underwear and bra only to be horrified. It's see through and flimsy material that I would never, ever in a thousand years wear. I sigh and put on the garments reluctantly, knowing this is tame compared with what they have made me wear before. I shudder at the memory and step out of the bathroom.
They put make up on me first but I can't look in the mirror 'It will ruin the effect and surpirse' they said. After make up Jo does my hair, after she hands me a dress that is more like a shirt.
"JO! This is more like a shirt and it's so tight it's practically a second skin!"
"Just wait Brainless, you'll see."
I step into some black heels and I put on some earrings they hand me. Finally, I can look at myself, they position me in front of the tall mirror and I open my eyes. I don't believe what I see. I look like a super model! The heels make my smooth tan legs look like they are miles long. The dress has actually gotten kinda comfortable and it hugs my curves in the right places making my curves look even bigger. The dress is a black and strapless, it has a neckline so low you can see the top of my lacy bra. It's also longer than I thought but not by much because it only reaches my mid-thigh. My hair is straight but curled at the bottom. It looks extremely soft and beautiful.
For my makeup they put on some red lipstick, mascara, and eye shadow. My lips look red and full. My eyes look smokey, alluring, and alive. They have a glint in them making them sparkle. Overall I'm more than impressed by their work, I'm thankful too. I look incredible, desirable, and appealing. They can work magic. I noticed that while they were getting me ready, they were getting ready themselves.
Jo was wearing a knee long green dress, black heels and little make up. Clove was almost the same except she was wearing a gold dress. I was a bit jealous about the length of their dresses, but it was too late to change and I didn't want to seem ungrateful. We all grabbed a small purse of the many in the closet and put our stuff in ours. I thanked them and we headed out. Clove in the front, then Jo, and finally me.
Clove went down the hallway and then Jo. I peeked my head out and saw them smiling at Clove and Jo. Here goes nothing. I stepped out of the dark hallway and my heels clacking against the wood floors alerted them of my presence. They all turned their head and all the boy's jaws went down and their eyes nearly popped out of their heads, except for Cato, he was transfixed with Clove. The girls just smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up. I turned back to the boys and smirked at them.
"Boys, close your mouths, you'll catch flies." I say winking at them afterwards. They all tried to regain their bearings. Keyword: tried. I then took a look at them they were all wearing casual outfits, dark jeans and a button up. But Peeta had a light blue button up that was unbuttoned, showing a white t-shirt, and his sleeves rolled up. The blue of the shirt only brightened his eyes and brought out other colors within them. The way he filled out his jeans should be illegal. He looked ready for a photo shoot.
"Hello beautiful" I heard someone say near my ear. I turned my head and saw none other than Rye Mellark. This guy has been hitting on me nonstop since our first meeting. I fight the urge to blush, so instead I grab the collar of his shirt and pull him down the few inches that are between us.
"Hello" I reply seductively.
He was obviously not expecting my response to be like that because he gulps loudly. I smirk and push him away.
"Who's ready to get wasted?" I yell and walk to the elevator like nothing happened.
The doors to the elevator open and I get in, I lean against the wall and look at them expectantly. They all look at each other and shrug, smiling. They soon join me in the elevator and we head downstairs.
I may not know much, but I do know that tonight will be a fantastic, eventful night.
Hey guys I'm so sorry for the wait but I had writer's block, family problems, and school to worry about so I kinda had little to no time to write. I'm surprised to see so many people still read this, yet no one reviewed while I was gone, makes me kinda sad. Anyways sorry for any errors i did this kinda quickly. PLEASE REVIEW! Love y'all! P.S. I'll update when I get at least 2 reviews!
