last chapter:
We talk to some people and when Peeta and I are headed to take a seat while Portia and Cinna are answering questions, I see those icy blue eyes again, and there heading towards us.
I turn around and look at Peeta.
"Peeta, he's heading this way!" I say and grab a hold of his hand.
"Who?" he asks bewildered
"Cato." I say and look at Peeta. What to do? What to do? What to do? And the first thing that pops into my head is lean in and kiss Peeta. We kiss for a few seconds and I feel something warm inside me, like something flying in there, which is actually kind of creepy. He touches my cheek and I feel little tingles all over my body, from head to toe. It feels so real, it feels more real than any of the kisses that Cato and I shared. We stop the kiss though, when we head a thought being cleared, and of Couse it's Cato.
"Hello, gorgeous. Are you Cinnas new model? I heard Glimmer quit." He says in what I'm guessing is a seductive voice. I'm about to answer when I'm saved again, but this time by Cinna.
"Hello." Cinna says trying to sound nice.
"Hey Cinna." He responds and Cinnas lips turn into a frown.
"What are you doing here Cato? Leave my new models alone, there French, they don't know how to speak in English very well." He says.
Is this really his way of getting Cato to leave? Suddenly I'm happy I took French in middle school and high school, and I thought it would never really come in handy in life. I turn to Peeta and wonder if he speaks in French. I turn back around and find Cato looking at me intensely and get an awful shiver down my back and all of a sudden I start to remember all of our good memories together. Us walking to my house, Cato taking me out to dinner, and movies. All that cheesy shit. I start to imagine Peeta cheating on me just like Cato did and I don't want that to happen. I've made up my mind. It's going to take Peeta a whole lot more than dancing and singing to me for me to go out with him.
Cato looks at me with this look that scares me, I know for a fact that if he looks into my eyes he'll know it's me so I turn around and walk away with Peeta guiding the way to the dance floor.
"Remember not to twirl me around." I say.
"I know. So tell me what was going on back there?" he whispers into my ear, this boy is going to be the death of me.
"What are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about Katniss, the way he was looking at you like he knew who you where, does he know it's you?" he asks concerned. Oh Peeta, always thinking about everyone else but his self.
"I…I don't know. I don't think so." I say truthfully. I sure hope he didn't.
"You're staying by my side the whole night." He says and tightens his grip on me.
"You're not my boss Peeta. You can't just think you're my owner!" I hiss into his ear, and that's when I remember all the bad stuff Cato did to me, he had jealousy problems, always thinking I was with some other guy.
Flashback:
"Who was that guy? Why where you hugging him!" Cato yells. What's wrong with him? Does he not know he's my cousin?
"He's my cousin Cato! Calm down." I say and sit on the couch.
"Don't fucking lie to me Katniss! You're cheating on me aren't you!" he says and almost hits me. I stare at him wide eyed. I've never seen him this way.
"Why would I lie to you?! If I didn't want to be with you anymore I would just break up with you." I say. I don't even know why I'm still with him. This wasn't the first time he has acted like this, but he's never tried to hit me. I don't even know why I'm still with him.
"You're not going to break up with me! Your mine! You hear me! MINE!" he says and leaves slamming the door.
I don't know why I stayed with him that long. Well I did love him at the time but I regret not breaking up with him before. I know that he had cheated on me before I even broke up with me, but I always stayed with him because I loved him. He said he wouldn't cheat on me anymore, that he wanted to stay with me forever and all that stuff, he promised he wouldn't do it anymore but he did and that's exactly why I broke up with him. And I never want to be in another relationship like that. Ever.
"I know Katniss, but you came here with me not him. I don't want you close to him, that's all." He says and sighs.
"Look I'm sorry, I don't even know why I'm acting like this. I just don't want anyone else to be around you, I want you all for myself." He says. That's a bit territorial and I'm not like that anymore, I'm not that stupid Katniss anymore, I've changed.
"whatever." I say and stop dancing. I head over to Cinna and he looks a bit tense. I guess this night isn't going so well for everyone.
"Are you ok?" I ask.
"The question here is are you ok?" he asks and I sigh and shake my head.
"No I'm not."
"How do you know Cato?" he asks and I wonder how he knows we knew each other at all.
"How do you know I knew him?" I ask.
"I don't know, I could just tell." He says and I nod.
"He's my ex." I say and he looks at me closely like he can't believe it.
"I would of never imagined that." He says and I shrug.
"He's a bad kid you know, the model that quit; her name was Glimmer, well her friends going out with him. Her names Clove." He says and I immediately recognize the name. She's Peeta's ex.
"You see that girl right there with the dress that looks like the other one that you wore?" he says and I turn to look to where he's looking and I see her, I see Glimmer. The girl that use to make fun of me for wearing ugly clothes, for being stupid, ugly, and a loner.
"I know her; we went to the same high school together. I never liked her though." I say and he nods.
"Well the girl next to her, the one with the black dress, well that's Clove." He says and I turn to look at her. She's standing next to Glimmer and Cato.
"Oh." Is all I say and he looks like he wants to say something else but he keeps his mouth shut. I see a guy walk up to Glimmer and kiss her. I wonder who he is. My curiosity gets the best of me and I ask Cinna.
"Cinna, who's that?" he asks.
"That's Marvel. Glimmers boyfriend. He's actually the one that made Glimmer quit. I don't think she really likes him, but he's rich and she doesn't want to be seen with any guy that's middle class." He says and I nod. Typical glimmer, she's rich too so I don't even know why she went to my high school. We start talking about other stuff when all of a sudden he asks me something I would have never even thought he would ask.
"Katniss, do you know how to dance tango?" he asks. Well why would he ask me that?
"Um, yeah. My sister took dance classes and I would attend but I'm not that good. Well at least I don't think I am…why?" I ask.
"Oh, no reason." He says and heads toward Peeta. I see Peeta nod his head but I don't know why. I don't care anyways I'm still mad. They both head towards me.
"Have you heard Mi confesion?" Cinna asks. Why is he asking me all these tango questions? Of course I've heard that song, I had to dance to that song when I was in that dance class with Prim.
"Yeah, I've heard it why?"
"Well that's the song you're going to be dancing. Katniss when you get on the dance floor don't look at Peeta, face the other direction. And when the song starts turn with attitude, and make sure your dress kind of twirls. And while you're dancing make sure you twirl completely at least one time. Oh, and don't worry the fire's not real." He says and all I do is nod because I don't even know what he's talking about... I can't do this. There are too many people here.
"Cinna I don't think I can do this." I say worried. I haven't danced tango since I last saw Prim which was last year.
"I believe on you girl on fire." He says and leaves.
Peeta and I head towards the dance floor when we Cinna gestures for us to go. I do exactly what he said. The song starts and I do as I was told and once my dress twirls I hear people gasp and they start to cheer. I start heading towards Peeta and I twirl just in case while were dancing I don't have time to, and that's when I see it.
Flames all over my dress, I panic. I want to stop, drop, and roll, but I see Cinna smile and does thumbs up and I remember he said they weren't real so I continue dancing. We start dancing and people start cheering and I start feeling my dress slowly burning and rising up. The song ends and I notice the dress has changed, its shorter now, but looks alike to the longer version.
"You did great." Cinna exclaims and Portia hugs us both.
"You looked like a girl on fire!" Portia says and smiles.
"There's another song I want you to dance." Cinna says. Oh gosh.
"What do you want us to dance?" Peeta asks.
"Salsa." Good thing I know how to dance that too.
"Do you know how to dance it?" he asks us both and we both nod.
"Ok, the song will start in about 10 minutes." He says and we take a seat at the table. I turn to look where Haymitch is sitting and he smiles, the old man actually smiles.
I see Glimmer, clove and Cato looking at us too, but I quickly turn around. Our ten minutes are soon up and it's time for us to dance again. I can't believe I actually agreed to this but I can't let Cinna down, not after he let me have the silver dress. And well I do want revenge too, so who cares.
We head back to the dance floor and I notice that the people that where going to dance moved and formed a crowd around us. And that's when the music starts. Salsa y Sabor starts to play and I smile. Prim and I use to always dance to this song, and I know exactly how I'm going to dance to this song.
I hope Glimmer and Clove are watching. We start dancing and I'm dancing like I've never danced before. I see the flames once again and smile. I let the music take over me and I love it. I didn't even know I could dance like this. I start moving my body as if that's what I do for a living, but I think the only reason I'm actually dancing like this is because I have this mask on. Peeta carries me over his head and I do a spilt and the song ends. People start to cheer and I see Johanna and Thresh whistling and clapping. I see the paparazzi taking photos of us and some heading our way, but Cinna answers all the questions, they ask for our names but he just says the girl on fire and the boy with the blue eyes.
I just had to add both of the dancing scenes in there. I was watching some videos on you tube when I ran into some videos of people dancing tango and salsa and I just fell in love with how they danced. I know Katniss and Peeta would never dance like this, but who cares? It's fiction. But anyways if you want to see how I envisioned how they dance here are the links to watch both dance choreography's, and sorry If I couldn't explain the dance moves very well.
I know I said I would update on Friday but I couldn't. My computer was acting weird, but here you go I hope you enjoyed it. C:
