Thanks everybody who reviwed and all who put this story in favorite or alert or whateverJ You dont know how happy I am that somebody actually read itJ
„What the hell was I doing? I have Sky so why I am kissing Cato and why I am letting his hands travel all over my body even in parts that should belong only to Sky? No! This is wrong I have to go home Sky will be coming any time soon!" I though and with all my strength I pushed Cato away.
"I have to go…" I mumbled and before he could say or do something I run away as fast as I could.
When I came to home I saw too many cars and too much people around to have the possibility to believe that my late coming was unnoticed. Sky was certainly already here and looking for me.
What should I say so that nobody would suspect anything? Wait Leyla told me to practice wrestling with Cato so I just say that and apologize that we forgot about the time… And its even true when I think about it… We certainly did forgot about the time and we were fighting too so I just don't tell the whole story. The kissing didn't even mean anything when I think about it, I was probably just so emotional about the fact that I am getting engaged today and I confused Cato with Sky… Yeah, it has to be this people do weird things when they are about to make a big move in their lives and wedding to Sky certainly is a BIG thing. I mean, seriously. I will move to the Capitol and see my friends just once a month or even less and every one will probably expect us to start a family so I eventually will be a mom…
More and more I thought about it more and more I was getting scared. I mean I knew I liked Sky, he was all nice and sweet and as I said every girl in whole Panem was jealous of me… And he loved me, I was positive about it, he even told me many times, usually in bed… but I knew that he meant it. But the important question was did I loved him?... I didn't but I knew that I could I just needed time and probably go away from super hot distractions like Cato.
And I knew that Cato would not be a problem once I started my life with Sky but I wasn't sure that I was prepared for this. I always hated the fake smiles which hi father gave to everybody even Sky himself and I always sucked in making good apearence and didn't never really care about what the world think about me… and most importantly, I never wanted to have a child or even more than one. I promised that after the first day of training. And although as a Capitol citizen I wouldn't probably have to worry that my children will get picked I would have to watch them to watch and like the Hunger Games, I would have to watch them to make fun of the tributes and cheer when somebody made a good scene from his kill. They would love it like everybody in Capitol and they would never understood the meaning of it for them the butchery would be just good show for entertaining.
Maybe Cato was right and I really was betraying myself by marrying someone who had been chosen for me by my father since the day I was born. But who I was kidding, there was no option two. Not anymore at least. Maybe year or two ago when Sky and I just started to be more intimate maybe if I said then that I want to end it nobody wasn't against it but not now. I couldn't back of anymore, not without consequences. I had to marry Sky if not for my love for him than to protect my family and my friends from the wrath of our dear President and soon to be my father in law who wouldn't certainly just sit down and watch if I would turn down Skys proposal.
And with one last sigh I started to the main door.
"Where the hell have you been so long? And how is that that you look like a bugbear?" Of course my father had to be the first person who noticed me, not some servant.
I quickly explained my story and called our maid to help to dress up in my proposal dress.
Thank God it didn't took long and in twenty minutes I was standing in the hall all pretty and full of smiles. I started to look for Sky but he was nowhere to be seen, when suddenly somebody covered my eyes and I felt his firm body pressed against mine.
My first instinct was to take him down and make sure that he wouldn't do that again but I decided against it, it wouldn't be the best image of our relationship. So instead I just pretended to be sweetly surprised and when he turned me in his arms and pressed his soft lips on mines I responded eagerily, trying to ignore the thought of comparison with Catos kiss.
And before I knew it, Sky was already kneeling in front of me pronouncing the fatal question.
In that very moment I almost felt happy, his eyes were full of love and I desperately wanted to believe that I made a good decision. Meantime Sky already pushed a ring on my finger and we were currently congratulated by everybody in hall. I put on best of my smiles and resignedly waited for the evening to end.
…
"Welcome, welcome. Lets proceed to the reaping, as usual ladies first."
And there was it again, they picked someone who I didn't even know and Clove volunteered. The same thing did go with boys and Cato and Clove were now standing on the podium and everybody was now anxiously waiting for the name of our third tribute.
"And our last tribute is… Katniss Everdeen!"
