This morning when me and Clove went to go to our swimming lessons again, we saw a sign on the door saying that lessons would be cancelled today because of events that occurred yesterday, and would resume tomorrow. Clove shrugged her shoulders and headed off for breakfast, but I wanted to drop my bag off first.
But when I opened my door, I saw Finnick lying on the bed, reading one of my books that I brought from 12.
"Finnick?" He glanced up at me and put the book down, adjusting himself so he was sitting on my bed. "What are you doing here? How did you get in?"
"Glimmer let me in. And I just fancied popping my head in, and when she said you had gone swimming, I knew you'd be back quickly, so waited here."
"Why aren't you teaching today?" I dropped my bag on my bed beside him and he rubbed the side of his head.
"I had to take some medicine to get rid of my headache, and I'm not feeling my best today. I wouldn't stop seeing you in that hot outfit of yours if I really couldn't." He grinned at me. "So I decided to take you to breakfast, if you want me to."
I raised an eyebrow. "Er, are you okay, Finnick? Cause from what I heard...are you asking me out?"
"I wouldn't say asking you out..." He smirked, running a hand through his hair.
"Obviously you have a concussion. You're delusional."
"I'm not."
"It's an after effect from your medication."
"Katniss, really. I'm not that bad, am I?" He frowned when I opened my mouth to speak, and he cut me off. "Don't answer that."
I grinned and held out my hand. "Come on, let's get some brekkie, I'm starving." He took my hand and we went out the room. He was grinning from ear to ear.
"So Katniss, I think you underestimate your power on us poor men who are ruled by our penises."
I scoffed. "I have no idea what you're on about."
"Every guy is jealous of me right now." He winked and swung our joined hands from side to side. I looked around and noticed a lot of girls glaring at me, and guys trying to not look at us.
"Pfft. Please. Everyone wants you, not me." I growled. I noticed my friends giggling at us. Glimmer looked very pleased to see us together. Which we were not.
I cut myself some bread and Finnick wrapped an arm around me.
"What do you think you're doing?" I growled.
"Shh...Little Peeta looks like he's debating whether to come over or not. I wanna see this." I looked around the room, searching for Peeta. I recognised his shiny blonde hair, but he wasn't looking at us anymore, but talking to one of his friends. Who was looking at us. Dammit. I walked off with my bread and grabbed some butter, and headed for the girls table. Finnick was still getting his food so Peeta must have seen this as an opportunity, and came over, putting an arm around my shoulder.
"Hey Katniss. I was wondering if you'd like to do something with me today."
"Sorry, Peeta. Katniss already has plans with me today." Finnick sat next to me and I felt like I had to escape. Both were so close to me that they were basically squashing me.
"I do? Well I didn't know, I've already planned to go out with Glimmer today. Sorry boys. Quit fighting over me like I'm a toy." I took my plate and jumped up from my seat, sending an eye message to Glimmer to come with me. She jumped up too.
"Er, right. Yeah. We were going to go...out." She followed me out of the canteen, then whispered to me. "What was that all about?"
I rolled my eyes. "I don't even know. Not one clue what goes on in guys minds. It's like they don't know when to get the message." I sighed.
"What are you going to do about them?"
I huffed. "Do I have to do anything? I've never had this problem before..."
"Well loads of girls find Peeta attractive and likeable. But from personal experience, they love Finnick." She flicked her blonde hair behind her shoulder and I heard steps coming from behind us, fast. I turned around and Finnick's body slammed into mine, and he grabbed my face and gave me a really long kiss. We parted after a few seconds, gasping.
"What was that for?" My eyes were wide.
"I just had to. I couldn't help myself."
"You're crazy, Finnick Odair."
"I don't give a fuck." he smiled, still holding my face. I stepped back.
"I have to go. Glimmer?" Glimmer turned back around, obviously uncomfortable with the situation she was in, and nodded, heading back into the direction we were going.
"Wait. Can I at least have your number." He stated, not a question. I sighed and handed my phone to him. He smirked and added his number to my contacts and vice versa. I took my phone back from him and smiled.
"See you."
"Were you lying to Peeta? About spending the day with Glim?"
I shook my head. "Nope. Byeee."
I turned around and walked with Glimmer to our room.
"So what do you want to do?"
"Well...I was going to say...I have a date." Glimmer's eyes sparkled.
"A date?" I grinned, but inwardly I was thinking 'dammit'.
"Yeah. Marvel asked me out to the cinema."
"I've never been to the cinema before."
"You should come with. Bring Finnick." She winked. I shook my head.
"I can't."
"Don't you like him?"
"I don't know! I don't want to make a hasty decision when after all, Peeta is a nice guy too!"
"You can't have both of them." Glimmer sighed. "And you know Finnick will just go back to his old ways if you choose Peeta."
"That's my point. He may go back to his old ways if I choose him!"
"I didn't mean it like that."
"Look, I know you're his sister, but please. If you were me, who would you choose?"
"But he is my brother, Katniss, and I love him. He does mean well."
"Well guess I'll be pretending to be with you all day. I think I'll go swimming."
"But won't you need Finnick for that?"
I shook my head. "Just because I'm from 12 doesn't mean I don't know how to swim. But they make me do it."
"But...you don't have pools in 12."
"We don't."
"So how do you know how to swim?"
"We had a lake."
Glimmer shrugged, not realising I went out of the boundaries to swim, and I left her after we got to our room, and I grabbed the bag from this morning. Nobody was in the pool, so I got changed and did some strokes. I must have been swimming for an hour before I saw someone watching me. I grabbed the side of the pool. It was Finnick.
"You can swim? You looked like you were having a hard time doing doggie." He frowned.
"Doggie is a step before you learn how to swim. I knew, so it was a step down."
"Why are you taking my classes then?" A smile formed. I shrugged.
"12 don't have pools, so I have to."
"So how do you know how to swim then, if you didn't have a pool."
"The lake."
Finnick took off his shirt and sat on the side of the pool. He was already wearing swimming trunks.
"How did you know I would be here?"
"I didn't" This time he shrugged. "I enjoy swimming. It's peaceful, and I had a lot on my mind." His eyes told me I was the subject of his thoughts. He slid into the pool and I let go on the pool's edge, swimming backwards. He chuckled and I swam as fast as I could until he caught up with me, in the shallow part of the pool. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in close. My arms fell in place around his neck and he leaned in to kiss me. I accepted willingly, smiling. He grinned and his tongue made contact with my lip. This I had done with Peeta, and so I knew what to do. I opened my mouth and let my tongue make contact with his, and soon we were in a very awkward position. My legs felt like air when I wrapped them around Finnick's hips and he had both hands on my bum. The water surrounding us made this move effortless, but I'm sure he could carry me without the water helping.
We continued this until I became cold and very aware of a hardness pushing against the inside of my leg. I unwrapped my legs and arms and wrapped them around my body. I was shivering.
"I need a warm shower, it's really cold." I giggled, and he bit his lip, smirking.
"I'm pretty warm." He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug. He was, to be fair, and I gave him a squeeze. I let go of him, smirking.
"I better get back to my room. I'm going all wrinkly and I'm soaking wet."
"I bet you are" He grinned and pulled my hips to his, and I gasped at the contact. He was still rock solid. He chuckled, teasing the band of my bikini bottoms. "As much as I'd love to feel you, it's dangerous in pools." He pulled the band back and let it snap back in place, and I bit my lip. I'm glad. I wasn't prepared for this intimacy.
"Ok." I whispered and started making my way out of the pool, then I grabbed my towel. "I'm gonna go erm...get changed."
He nodded. "Shall I walk you back to your room?"
"If you want."
"I'll wait here then."
I got back to my room ten minutes later, and he gave me a peck on the lips before I went back into the room.
"Fuck!" I slammed the door shut again, and Finnick turned back around to face me, confused.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing!" I squeaked. "Can I use your shower?"
"Why can't you use yours?" He frowned and walked closer to the door, so I pulled on his arm.
"Er, no reason."
"Katniss...what's going on."
"Glimmer has a date with Marvel. I guess it went a bit too well."
Finnick's jaw tensed, then untensed. "Is she with him now?"
"Yep. So let's go to your room. So I can shower." He seemed to get the message, so he looked back at my door, then back to me, longingly, then sighed, nodding.
"Fine, let's go." He grabbed my hand and walked in the direction of his room. "But I'm not happy about this."
I chuckled. "I didn't think you would be." I gave his hand a squeeze.
ahh :'D so does this make them officially dating now? Because in Finnick's books...probably not. You'll have to wait and see ;D
so yeah ;D tell me what you think of the story pleaassee :D I love the reviews :3
