My OC and Cato from the Hunger Games
Chapter 7:
I glared at my mom, "It was a fucking kiss!" She laughs slightly, "That's what you think…" She glances over my shoulder; "You're putting yourself in danger." I raise an eyebrow as the music changes and kids sigh before taking to the dance floor. "Mom I'm going to have some fun… we will talk about this later." I smirk before turning on my heels. "Mel you do that." She says behind me. I glance over my shoulder and see her leave with a couple other parents. 'What was that about? Putting myself in danger?' I roll my eyes before walking over to the punch bowl, "That took guts blondie." I turned to see Lisa and Louise his brown hair was slightly messed and Lisa face was slightly flushed. I nod, "So much guts." They laugh, "Come on and sit with us." Lisa grabs my wrist and pulls me toward a large table, Bruce, Andrew, Martin, and Lauren glance at me before turning back to their conversation, "I never said that!" Lauren groans lightly punching Bruce on the shoulder who is laughing. "Sit." Lisa smiles sitting down next to Louise, I find an empty seat and sit down crossing my legs. Martin smirks at me his black hair slightly curled in at the ends his green eyes full of mystery, "So Mel… how does it feel to win the moms game." I laugh, "No different." Lauren stares at me her eyes wide, "Shut up!" I look at her shocked before she laughs, "You can't say no different! You fucking kissed him… not any boy but him!" I laugh biting my bottom lip, "Okay." Bruce pulls on one of Laurens curls, her hair full of pink streaks, and she slaps his hand away before looking at him,"I'm right!" Lisa laughs nodding and smirking, "Speaking of the devil." I glance around my shoulder and watch as Cato nears his tie has been loosened and hangs slightly to the side. "What?" He says sitting down next to me. Lisa shrugs and turns slightly so her leg brushes against Louise's who leans in as she whispers something to him. I sigh before shaking my head and let my curls swirl, "I want to talk to you." I turn and almost bump my nose into Cato's chin, "Okay." I smile standing and he motions me behind the DJ's stand, the wall full of sparkling lights casts creepy shadows. I lean against the wall and look at him. "Yes?" He crosses his arms, "You shouldn't have done that." I roll my eyes, "I'm sorry, what's the big deal?" He laughs his eyes skim over me making me feel as if I was naked. "Answer me?" I groan taking a step towards him, "Mel." He runs a hand through his hair, "Its complicated." I nod crossing my arms, "Okay whatever, lets dance." I grab his arm and turn the corner walking towards the dance floor, the room is flashing with different colored lights, blue, green, pink, purple… then nothing mattered just ours bodies touching, the music, the cries of laughter the look of lust and want. I trailed up hands up my body moving my hips to the music closing my eyes and pushing my back into Cato. I was right nothing mattered besides here and now; I felt his lips slowly come to rest by my ear he whispered quietly his words sending shivers down through me, "I want to show you something." I turned and let him take my hand before leading me off the dance floor. It was like on of those old songs the one that went like 'Kiss me underneath the milky twilight.' I looked up the moon was bright and full casting a strange glow onto the path ahead. "Where are you taking me?" I giggled nervously, his hand grips mine tighter before taking a left turn and leading me down a grassy path, the grass skimmed my thighs making me laugh under my breath. "Cato where are you taking me?" I ask again as he stops. "Here…" He motions to a tree; I raise my eyebrow and look at him the moon casting a shadow, which brings out his features. "Look closer…" He grabs my hand again and I notice a rope latter I gasp before looking up into the high canopies, and there in the mist of all the leaves is a tree house a small flicker of light escapes from it. "Cato." I look at him my mouth open, "This is amazing! How in gods name did you come across this?" He laughs, "My father made it for me… long time ago." He runs a hand through his hair before letting my hand go, "Come on." He motions to the latter and walks over, "Get up." I look at him shocked, "Are you crazy! You go first I'm wearing a dress." He laughs before shrugging and beginning to climb I wait till he is fairly high up before following. I grip tightly onto the rope as it sways slightly taking a deep breath I go up one pull at a time. I don't dare look down and I only look straight ahead as I feel the wind blow my hair, I smile and glance up noticing I'm almost at the hole in the floor leading into the tree house, up here its giant, the trees eating it up. I place my hands onto the floor boards and pull myself up sitting on the edge, I glance around as I pull my legs in, the tree house is defiantly a house there's even a small TV in a corner a bed and a kitchen. "This is amazing! Is there a bathroom too?" I say standing and fixing my dress. Cato stands at one window and leans against it looking out into the distance. "I wish I could think so and yes the magic of the capitol." I walk over to him and lean my elbows into the window frame and stare out at the moon. "Where so high up it's like a dream." I sigh resting my firsts under my chin. I can hear Cato walk away and I turn watching as he begins to pull up the ladder, "Why are you pulling it up?" I ask beginning to feel uneasy. "Just because." He throws the latter to one side and pulls down a door, which covers the hole in the floor and latches it onto a large metal hook. I nod and lean back against the window frame and look down I gasp and step back I never thought we were this high up, I hear Cato laugh and I glare at him. "Not funny!" I hiss taking deep breaths. "I never knew you were scared of heights." He laughs crossing his arms. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me." I mumble, "And there are many things I don't know about you." I cross my arms. He nods before walking over to a simple white couch and sits down. "How did you get all this up here?" I say throwing up hands up into the air and walking over to him. He laughs, "My dad brought all this here, he told me if I ever wanted to go somewhere safe it was here…" He looks down at the floor, "And I came here more then I ever wanted." I sit down next to him and fiddle with my thumbs. "Why did you want to show me this?" He looks at me, "I wanted you to know you had somewhere safe to go if you ever needed it." I smile, "I am safe." He shrugs, "No ones safe anymore Mel." I bite my lip and lean back into the pillows of the couch. "I'm safe here with you." He closes his eyes and leans back, "That's not what I meant Melissa." I groan and slip my shoes off before pulling my knees up and under me. "Then what do you mean, this is getting confusing! I have no fucking idea what's going on!" I glare at him as he opens his eyes and looks at me his face is blank and I can tell his thinking of what to say, "Mel… there are some thing better left unsaid." I give him a look of pure confusion before slapping my hands down onto the couch. "If this is about that fucking kiss, mark my word I will freak out!" He laughs, "I wish this was about a kiss, but Mel your mom should be the one to explain not me." I groan leaning back into the pillows "Is this about your parents and mine?" He laughs again, "Something like that." I shake my head before looking at him, "Why did you dance with me?" I blurt staring at him. He looks at me before smirking, "Because… I did." I glare at him, "Not true!" He laughs, "Well I did didn't I?" I lean towards him, "Tell me the truth." He throws his hands up in defense, "I did… I danced with you because I did, I wanted to." I smile, "You wanted to?" He nods leaning closer to me before taking my face in his hands, "I wanted to." He presses his lips lightly to mine before pulling away and letting me go. I can feel the blood go to my face before I glance away, "Do you live here or something?" He laughs, "Sometimes, I come here every so often, it's the one place I can go to get away from the yelling and hectic life of mine." I glance at him he seems lost in thought and I remember what Lisa had said about his father hitting his mother. "This is really non of my business," He glances up at me as I pause, "But does your dad hurt your mom?" He takes a deep breath and stays quiet probably finding the right words to say, "Yes. But…" He pauses shaking his head, "My parents were brought together, they will never love each other I know my mother loves my father through everything he does to her, but I see no love in his eyes." I nod glancing away, "Is that why I shouldn't have kissed you? Because your father could see?" I look at him he nods not saying anything, "I'm sorry." I mutter looking at the floor the light shines on it making it a warm honey color. "Don't be sorry." Cato sighs. I look up at him and into his eyes they are the eyes I have come to know the warm inviting blue eyes of the person I had fallen for, 'Fallen for.' I think to myself, 'The eyes of the one I have fallen for.' I move closer to him, his eyes following me I rest my head on his shoulder, "I know… I know I should not be sorry but I am." I close my eyes before taking a deep breath and opening them again Cato is looking straight ahead. "Melissa… there is some things left to be unsaid and some that need to be said. I for one can't tell you what is to come, but I do know that my feelings for you have grown and your apology means nothing to me as I don't need it." I laugh, "Okay." He looks down at me, "Melissa." I look at him, "Hmmm." He shakes his head, "Never mind." I shrug before taking my head off his shoulder and lying back down onto the pillows, "Why did you really bring me here?" He laughs, "I really don't know." I roll my eyes, "Yes you do." "Well it is a great place to makeout." He says looking at me a smirk on his face. I laugh, "Of course you say that." He raises an eyebrow, "Just being honest." I shake my head laughing, "I see." He looks at me and rolls his eyes. I bite my bottom lip and pop my lips my eyes not leaving his, I glance away and take a deep breath before moving closer to him on my hands and knees I position myself on him my knees on either side of him, I place my hands on his chest and look at him. "I was kidding." He says, I roll my eyes and slide closer our bodies touching I run my hands up to his neck before opening his jacket he leans forwards as I pull it off and throw it to the side it lands with a soft thud on a nearby bean bag chair. His hands trail up my waist stopping to rest at my hips I look him in the eyes before undoing his tie and letting it hang around his neck and grabbing it firmly in my hand before pulling him into me letting my lips stop inches from him I move my face slightly closer just so they touch and leans in and I pull away he groans, "Not so fast." I smirk pushing him back into the couch and swiveling my hips his eyes grow wide and I lean in running my lips down his neck and back up again until I reach his ear, I grab it between my teeth lightly and gently tug before blowing lightly and sitting back. He looks at me and takes a deep breath and a smirk crosses his face, "My turn." I raise an eyebrow and he grabs me by the waist and flips me over onto my back on the couch my hair flowed out around the pillows he positions himself over me his tie falling off, I reach my hand up and pull it off letting it fall onto the floor. He plants deadly soft kisses onto my neck down to my cleavage, my heart pounds seeing to jump up into my throat. "It seems I have an effect on you." He smirks kissing my skin above my heart I let my breath out running my hands through his hair, "You have no idea." I mutter as he kisses his way back up to my lips. I run my hands around his neck and grab ahold of his shirt before pulling him in, our lips crash harshly but quickly the kiss turns passionate out tongues battle for dominates exploring each other's mouths. I feel him pull away but quickly tighten my grip on his shirt I can feel his breath on my face as he breaths through his nose deeply.
Oh no, suspense! Well I was gone for a month on Vacation and now am back.
