Guys, I'm so sorry for taking this long to update! I've been busy as hell and I kind of had a fight with myself about the story. (I have the whole idea developed, this chapter was supposed to be about how they plan the first attack to the capitol, but I decided to postpone it for a little...)

I'm not in love with this chapter, and I think I could've written a better one; but as I've just told you: I've been kind of busy, but I tried my best.

I hope you enjoy it! xo

"Talk about what?" I ask him "You came to mock at me again?"

"No, I'm sorry about that…" He looks me in the eyes and sighs "I just wanted to talk about my…"

"Am I interrupting something?" Gale asks as he softly kisses my cheek.

"Yes, you are…" Finnick mutters and rolls his eyes.

Gale stands next to me and ignores Finnick.

"Katniss may I talk to you in private?" Finnick asks me with a grimace.

"Does my presence bother you?" Gale asks him.

"Yeah, kind of…" Finnick replies scowling.

"Oh, I'm so sorry… but your presence also bothers me." Gale tells him.

"Okay, stop it!" I interrupt them annoyed. "Gale, I'm going to talk with him."

Gale frowns at me but doesn't complain.

"Let's go." Finnick mutters. He smiles crookedly and holds me softly by the arm.

I look back at Gale while I walk, he's frowning and doesn't look happy; I swore that I'd try to make him happy, but it didn't include staying away from Finnick, he's my friend and we need each other, or at least… I need him.

"Where are we going?" I ask smiling.

"We're getting out of here… I'm starting to lose it." He replies smiling back at me.

I walk next to him and we go to the surface, I have to admit that living underground is not my thing and it's making me lose my sanity too.

"Do you want to go swimming?" He asks.

"Nah, I'm fine." I reply smiling.

"Oh, come on!" He pouches.

"That's not going to work with me…" I mutter, but he's already carrying me on his shoulder and running through the forest.

I snort when I notice that he's heading towards the lake and that he's probably going to throw me into it. But he doesn't, he just stands at the edge.

He smiles as he softly leaves me back into the ground.

"Are you sure you don't want to swim?" He asks with an innocent smile.

"Yeah." I reply.

"Well… What a shame." He whispers on my ear before pushing me into the water.

I growl at the moment I sink into the water, and when I come out of it, I notice that Finnick's not standing where he was before. I sigh and plunge into the water.

"Where do you think you're going?" He seductively whispers on my ear, stepping up behind me and wrapping his strong arms around my waist.

I get goosebumps, but I ignore the feeling and start running my fingers through his arms. My heart starts beating fast. I try to think clearly. We came here to talk; he wanted to talk to me.

"You wanted to talk to me…" I say breathing heavily and trying to make my voice sound normal "Let's talk."

"Let's swim for a while, and then we'll talk." He whispers on my ear and then makes me turn around. "Are you okay with it?"

I feel my heart beating so hard that I'd swear that it'd come out through my throat, so I don't say anything, I just nod.

Finnick smiles and looks me in the eyes as pulls me closer to him. Our lips are just a few millimeters away. I smile and stare at his beautiful sea-green eyes.

He softly runs his fingers along my jawline.

"Katniss…" He whispers my name before he softly kisses my lips. His lips feel warm and soft; I let him introduce his tongue in my mouth, his breath tastes sweet and intoxicates me. He runs his fingers along my backbone as he keeps kissing me.

I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back. I feel his warm body against mine; feeling his warmth makes me feel complete.

We lean back to breathe and then kiss again; I run my fingers through his soft curly golden-bronze hair and feel him smile against my lips.

I know that this is completely wrong and that I'll break Gale's heart if he finds out, but I just can't stop… I want to be with Finnick, I can't be away from him.

What the hell am I saying? I'm surely going insane.

I've got to think about Gale, I might not love him the way he wants me to, but I promised myself that I would try.

"Finnick…" I whisper as I lean back. "I can't do this…"

We stare into each other's eyes, he looks disappointed and kind of... sad? But it's just for a few seconds, because when I blink and look back at him again his expression has changed. He's smiling.

"Okay, it's time to talk." He mutters.

"I thought that you wanted to swim…" I say.

"No… I… I really need to talk to you." He replies.

"Okay."

We walk out of the lake and sit our log.

"What did you want to talk about?" I ask smiling.

He stands up and walks in circles for a few minutes, it looks like if he were battling himself or something like that.

I sigh and play with my fingers until Finnick stands in front of me.

"Okay, I don't know how to tell you this without it sounding wrong…" He mutters nervously.

"What's happening?" I ask confused.

"I want to talk to you about my behavior this morning…" He replies.

"Okay, tell me, why did you behave like a jerk?" I ask.

"As I said, this morning I saw you walking out from Gale's room…" He says nervous and sits next to me "And I… I got jealous, okay?" he snorts and covers his face with his hands.

Why would he get jealous?

"Jealous?" I ask confused.

"Yeah…" He replies looking me in the eyes.

"Why?" I insist.

"I don't know… Well I do, but… Katniss…" He babbles "I like who I am when I'm with you, you make all the pain go away, I forget about everything when we're together… I'm not sure about what I feel right now, maybe I'm confused because of all the stuff that has been happening lately… But I know for sure that I want a chance, I want to be with you, Girl on Fire…" he whispers with a crooked smile.

My mouth widens in surprise.

What? Is he telling me that he thinks he's in love with me? He can't be. He loves Annie and I love Peeta, besides I have Gale.

We stay in silence for a long while.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" He asks quietly.

"I…" I don't know what to say, neither what to think…

I my heart races when the thought of having a relationship with Finnick comes to my mind.

I shake my head. It won't happen. It's not possible.

"You don't have to say anything." He mutters and holds my hand.

I slap his hand away.

"I… I have to go." I mutter and runaway.

I look back and Finnick's still sitting on the tree log, staring at me, he looks hurt and I immediately feel guilty, but I can't go back. I need to get as far as possible from him.

I run deeper into the forest and climb a tree, then sit on a branch and sigh. I feel the need to go back to Finnick and apologize, but I resist. I need to think.

What's going on with me? Why did I react like this? Why did I picture us together?

I sigh and close my eyes.

I'm with Gale; I can't afford to think about being with Finnick.

That's it for this chapter! I hope you enjoyed it.
