I'm so sorry it took me this long to update. My laptop suddenly shut down, so I had to start from scratch. I dedicate this chapter to Clove'sSonicRainboom. Happy birthday!

tip: I don't know about you guys, but I sometimes like to listen to music while reading certain scenes I think it goes well with. So, for those who want to: For the party scene- Havana Brown-We run the night or The kicks-Hawk eyes and for the ending scene- Howie Day-Collide, Dana Glover-Thinking over or Florence & the Machines-Never let me go( you'll know what I'm talking about later on) or you could just find a song you think fits good. Enjoy this chapter, I had fun writing it!:)

Katniss POV:

'' Kiss me. ''

Did he just say...?

My breath is stuck in my throat. I feel as if I'm going to pass out, due to shortness of breath along with this burning sensation I feel inside of me.

''W-what?'' I ask staggered.

I heard him loud and clear, but I can't help wanting him to repeat, hoping he'd say he is fooling around with me. But the other part of me hopes he repeats those same two words over again.

He takes another step forward. I can feel his breath on me, cause right now, we're only an inch apart. He moves his lips to my ear. I can feel my heartbeat fasten by every move he makes.

''You heard me. I dare you to kiss me,'' he whispers huskily.

The way he said it sent shivers down my spine.

''C-Cato, w-we can't d-do this...'' I stutter.

I can feel him get even closer to me. I have this huge lump in my throat, I'm forgetting how to breath.

''Let's face it, I don't want my father to remarry a woman below his standards,'' he starts, and he's lip quirks upwards,'' And I know you don't want your mother to remarry, because...you're hot for me.''

This time, it wasn't from excitement that my body was acting this way. Making it tremble. It was anger. All right Cato, I'll play your game.

''You're right, I am,'' I pout.

I take him by his shirt and pull him towards me, as if to close the distance between us. There's shock registered on his face, but it's soon replaced by a smirk. He leans in to close the distance that's separating our lips from touching. And just as they are about to touch, I slap him right in the face and walk out of the gym. He's still standing there with his hand pressed to his cheek.

''You're messing with the wrong bitch!'' I smirk.

Four classes and three hours later, school finished. Of course, I avoided Cato successfully throughout the day, and had Peeta take Prim and me home. Unfortunately I encountered Foxface the minute I left the gym. She was furious she couldn't recruit new members for her team, because of Cato's and mine little quarrel. It's rescheduled for tomorrow. I also got an invite for Finnick's party tonight. His parents are out and since he's really popular, half the school is coming. As for the other's, they'll be wishing they're there, I quote. I won't be going. I dragged enough attention on me for today. More importantly, Cato will be there.

The moment my foot landed inside of the house, I ran up to my room. I stayed under my bed sheets for I don't know how long with eyes ready to burst into tears any second. I didn't even go down for lunch in fear of seeing his face. Probably after they saw I wasn't coming, mum came up to get me. I would know, because I felt her gentle hands stroking my hair. I pretended I was asleep, because there's no courage left in me to face him.

An hour later, there was another knock on the door. This one was rough. My whole body froze. It can't be him. Please don't let it be him. When the person figured out nobody's going to open the door, it stopped knocking. I released the breath I was holding.

Suddenly, the door was opened. I shut my eyes and squeezed the edge of the sheet in my hands. The footsteps got closer and closer and then the person climbed up on to my bed. I stopped breathing. I could feel someone's face above mine.

''WAKE UP BITCH!''

I jumped out of my bed immediately.

''Glimmer you idiot, you can't do that to me.'' I throw a pillow at her.

I didn't even realize tears where streaming down my face.

'' You told me to come today, and why the hell are you crying? I didn't mean I'd scare you like this. I'm sorry.'' she climbed off the bed and gave my hug.

''No, it isn't you. I just thought it was someone else and I..um..'' I say, trying to find words to explain my tears.

I couldn't, because I wasn't sure about what I was crying about either. Cato was always an ass, so why did this hurt me so much?

She gave me a strange look.

''Care to explain? And I want details!'' she smirked.

I rolled my eyes, and told her everything from A to Z.

''Oh my god! S-'' Glimmer stops talking, because Marvel just entered the room.

He looked shocked for a second, but quickly turns towards me with a smile.

''Hi ! I'm Glimmer,'' she says seductively while twirling her hair around her finger.

He tilts his head in her direction and smirks. He lifts her chin and looks her in the eyes.

I see a blush playing on her cheeks. Wow. Glimmer never blushes. She always has boys around her little finger. And when she gets bored, she dumps them. So she says. The real reason she does that, is because she's afraid of getting close to them. Afraid of getting hurt. Of being human.

''I couldn't care less, sweetheart.'' he winks.

Ouch. That was harsh and ...wierd? Marvel has this flirty, goofy personality, It's not something he would say. In fact, he would probably be sucking faces with her right now.

Glimmer's eyes are filled with shock and her mouth is hanging open.

''Katniss! I came to ask you if you're going to the party?''

I was about to say no, until something changed my mind, when I saw Glimmer with her head down. I don't want to be like that. I don't want him to have this power over me. This is exactly what he wants. If I don't go it'll seem as if I care about what he does and thinks. I can't let that happen.

'' Of course. Glimmer's my plus one.'' I smirk.

Glimmer's head immediately snaps towards mine.

'' Sure you can handle a party like that, sweetheart?'' he says while brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

I could see she was fighting back a blush. She recovered fast and her playgirl mode was on again.

''I can handle anything!'' she says looking him dead in the eye.

''All right. See you there.'' he says while walking away.

What was that about?

Marvel POV:

I close the door behind me and walk to my room. I look out my window.

'' She doesn't even remember,'' I say to no one ,''Let's see how it'll feel when you're the one getting played.''

Katniss POV:

''I don't have anything to wear!'' I exclaim frustrated.

''There's got to be something. Why is it that you don't own a dress?'' she cries out.

I bite my lip. I can't believe I'm doing this.

''Come with me!'' I say.

I open the door I promised myself I wouldn't. She was gaping like a fish.

''K-Katniss? I think I just found one thousand combinations for you to wear.''

''Well get to work! Make me look pretty,'' I smile.

''Oh, trust me. When I'm through with you, Cato won't know what hit him.'' she grinned.

''I'm not dressing up for him.'' I mumble.

I lost count of the number of dresses I had to change into. But, an hour later, there it was. The perfect dress hanging in the back of the closet. Glimmer and I looked at each other with the same expression. Please let it be the one.

I tried it on and Glimmer looked at me astonished. She whistled.

''My my. You're on fire!'' she smirked.

I went to look at myself in the mirror. I couldn't believe the girl I was looking at, was me. Glimmer done an excellent job. My hair was down and wavy, black smokey eyes, light red lip and the most perfect dress. It was a short, red, bare back lacy dress. In the front it was heart shaped. I was happy with how I looked.

Glimmer was beautiful, as always. She had the same look as Alexandra Stan in her video.

We arrived one hour after the party started. The music could be heard from outside, were inappropriate things were already happening. We rang the door bell. A minute later, Finnick opened the door for us.

''Damn it, Everdeen, you're hot!'' he says while checking me out, then turns his gaze in Glimmer's direction,'' You're friend is smoking hot, also. You girls cleaned up nicely!''

''Thank you!'' I smirk.

The place was crowded with people. Half of them were already wasted and making out. A decent amount of them were swimming in his pool. I hope he has a maid, cause it'll take a lot of work to clean this shit up when the party ends.

We step into the living room, and a lot of heads turn in our direction.

''There's a boy checking you out!'' Glimmer descreetly points towards the fireplace.

I look in that direction, and see Peeta talking to Thresh and looking at me at the same time. I smile at him, but it soon fades when my eyes spot Cato. He was already drunk, and dirty dancing with some girl. The feeling I had in my chest when I first saw him came. I shrug it off, when I see Peeta coming in our way.

''I'm going to get a drink,'' Glimmer smirks.

''Glimmer!''

''Have fun!'' she winks.

When I turn around, Peeta is already standing in front of me.

''Wow, Katniss! You look beautiful!'' he smiles.

I blush.

''Thank you!''

''W-would you like to dance?'' he asks while handing out his hand for me to take.

I sneak a peek where Cato was. At that second his head turns in my direction, and our eyes meet. He stops dancing, and continues to look at me. I look away.

''I would love to!'' I take his hand.

He leads me to the center of the room. Right were Cato was. He was dancing again, but his eyes weren't leaving mine. The tension between us could be sliced with a knife. I turned my gaze towards Peeta and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I can't help but listen to the lyrics of the song playing. More than this by One Direction. I don't even listen to them, but I can't help not to notice how some of the words explain how I feel right now. When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight, it just won't feel alright. That brings me back to Peeta. I like him, but my body doesn't want him like it wants someone else's. Cato and I were inches apart right now. I could feel the warmth of his body from here. My eyes lock with his. By now, he had his head buried in her neck, but his eyes never left mine. I can't take this any more.

''I'm going to get some fresh air. You stay here, I'll come back soon.'' I say so he won't follow me.

''Ok.'' he says sadly.

After a while, I find the way to a small garden. Thankfully, nobody was there. I sat on a bench that stood on my left. The garden was beautiful. I was surrounded by beautiful flowers. It reminded me of the garden back home. Home. I want to go home. I don't belong here. I rested my head in my hands. I didn't even notice someone sit beside me. I tilt my head to the right, and see Cato next to me with his head tilted back. I notice he's still a bit drunk. I'm about to walk away, when he opens his mouth to speak.

''I couldn't take my eyes off of you tonight.'' he says still looking at the stars.

My heart is about to jump out of my chest. Is this his intention ? To play with my feelings over and over again.

''Cato, you're drunk! Leave me alone. I heard you loud and clear today.'' I say in hope he will actually listen to me.

He slowly moves his head in my way, but it still stays rested on the edge of the bench.

''The reason I don't want my father to remarry,'' he starts while getting closer to me. I start backing away, but my hip hits the edge of the bench. ''Is because I want to be able to...kiss you over and over again, without feeling guilty.''

I sit there dumbfounded with my eyes wide open. I can't move out of shock. I want to get up and run away so badly, but it's as if I'm glued to the bench.

''Cato, you don't know what you're saying. You're drunk.''

He chuckles.

''I may be drunk, but I'm not lying. Tomorrow I'll probably hit my head against the wall, but right now...I don't give a shit.''

Stop it! Don't make me like you. Don't. They say eyes are the windows to a persons soul. When you gaze into them, you'll learn their true feelings, emotions and intentions. I couldn't find the lie I was searching for.

For a minute the only thing I could hear is the wind, rustling through my hair. We just stare into one another's eyes, and for just a moment I almost forget where I am. Almost. He leans closer to me, and I do nothing to stop him. He moves his hand to my cheek to caress it, and I do nothing to stop him. His fingers trace lines on my face and I lean into his touch. They stop at my slightly parted lips. He moves his gaze to my lips, and then back to my eyes with lust. He slightly tilts his head and leans in.

''Don't make me feel this way.'' I whisper when his only an inch away.

He places his hand on the back of my neck, and the other is tangled in my hair. He looks me in the eyes one more time before locking his lips with mine.

His lips where soft and gentle. They molded perfectly with mine. Our lips moved in perfect rhythm. Shortly after, he pulled away leaving me wanting for more. He moved his lips to my neck and gently placed soft kisses. I gasped when I felt his tongue. He definitely knows what his doing. It felt amazing. I couldn't stop the moan from escaping my lips. That only made him groan against my neck.

''You don't know what you do to me.'' he whispers upon my skin.

I grabbed his head with both of my hands and pulled him in a hungry kiss. This one was different. It wasn't gentle. This one was rough and passionate. Before his tongue could enter my mouth, a voice called out my name. Peeta.

''I have to go.'' I blurt out and walk away not looking back.

''Katniss! I've been looking all over for you. Are you okay? Your cheeks are all flushed.'' he asks with concern in his voice.

''Uh, yeah. I was feeling hot, so I needed some fresh air.'' I smile.

''Great! So, I came up with a way for you to make it up to me.'' he grinned.

I chuckle.

''So, what's it gonna be?''

''I want you to go on a date with me.''

LOL. Peeta, you cockblocker! I'm really sorry for the kissing scene. This is the first time I'm writing a story, let alone a kissing scene. So it was kinda awkward for me, and I couldn't find the words I was looking for, but I'll work on that. I'd also like to thank you for all of your reviews. When I see your comments, I get really happy! So, thank you!
