So, here is chapter eighteen! And wow, over 200 reviews ! You guys are amazing:)
Ilikebubbles: As you requested, I'm going to respond here. I would just like to say, that I didn't quite understand the ratings while I was reading them. This is not one of those hardcore M rated fanfics. As I mentioned, I have trouble writing a kissing scene, let alone ...that:D...There might be something mentioning it, but I'm not doing anything detailed. Now, I have seen a lot of T rated fanfics, which are supposed to be M rated according to the fanfiction ratings, and there are a lot of M rated ones who are really detailed, and that is I think MA, which is banned? So sorry, I'm really confused about that. Either way, I put in M in later chapters because of some swearing words, and some scenes, just in case. I hope you understand that:) It's not turning into one of those M rated ones !
Anyways, please ENJOY and Review !:)
Katniss POV:
I grab the handle, cautiously, so no sound escapes these walls. The door creeks open, loudly. I utter a sharp hissing sound. The more I'm wary, the more noise I make. We can't afford to arouse any suspicion. Cato and I. An hour passed by since mum came to kiss me goodnight. Derek and her should be fast asleep by now. Prim included. I don't leave the door closed, just barely brushing the door frame, so It'll be easier for me to come back in. I tip toe my way to Cato's room, still on my guard, not to make any noise. Of course that is impossible for Katniss Everdeen, the magnet for bad luck.
A loud noise roars through the walls. I forgot to put my phone on silent mode, and it seems Cato is really impatient, he has to send me a message. At least he didn't call, I'll give him that. I can't say I'm not anticipating to feel his touch, but I still have to be cautious. I guess Cato doesn't know what that means. It's not like he hasn't been hitting on me before, our parents a meter away from us. I throw a glance on my mobile screen.
From: Cato.
Are you coming or not?
I roll my eyes. I would love to see him sneak so fast. If he is so good at this, why doesn't he sneak to my room? It was his idea in the first place. Because of his little moment of impatience, and well, my mistake of not turning my phone off, I have extra work on my hands. Checking if I woke them up. Prim is not a problem. She can sleep through an earthquake. Although she did have nightmares before, but those are not a problem right now. I tip toe to mum's room and lean my ear on the door. No, they definitely didn't hear a thing, but they aren't asleep either. Are they...? I cringe in disgust and walk away to Cato's room. I don't bother being silent anymore.
''Where were we? '' he turns me around, and without waiting for an answer, his mouth finds mine.
Our bodies pressed against each other, and our hands roaming everywhere, as if they're searching for somethin', something they cannot find, because it's not enough. I need him.
His lips move to my ear, his breathing heavy. I clutch his shirt tighter and bury my face in the crook of his neck. He nibbles on my ear, before moving his lips down to my neck, planting light kisses all the way to my collarbone. I moan in pleasure and pull on his shirt even more, bringing him closer. My hands find their way to his hair, pulling on it, and bringing his head closer to my neck. I can feel him smirk against my skin, which sends a shiver down my spine. He roughly kisses my neck again. This time using his tongue also, and another moan escapes my lips. I know he's enjoying this, hearing the sounds escaping my lips, hearing his victory. Seeing me this weak because of him.
Every time I see that smirk play on his lips, the lips that place gentle and hungry kisses all over me, making me produce sounds I didn't know of, It reminds me of how much I want him. Of how much power he has over me. It also makes me escape reality and takes me to this illusion. Illusion of a life where we can be together. Where this isn't wrong. But it doesn't feel wrong even in reality. It feels right. His touch feels right. His kisses, which make my body tremble and mind dizzy, feel right.
I gently push him away, which takes him by surprise. An evil glint flickers in my eyes. I smirk deviously. I'm not letting him take full control over me. I back him to the bed and place a hand to his chest, which makes him raise his eyebrow in return. I hold him by the collar and roughly slam him on to the bed, climbing on top of him. A smirk plays on his lips. He leans in to kiss me, his hand finding its way under my shirt, but I smack it away.
Cato POV:
What a transformation! One second she's pinning me down on the bed, and the other she's nervous as hell. Who is this girl?
All of a sudden, I can tell she's feeling uneasy, and I think she knows I noticed, because she starts shifting uncomfortably on top of me. I smirk. Leave it up to her to work me up, and then play the innocent card and leave me hanging like this.
''How about,'' I smirk, pulling her down,''We just go to sleep?''
I can see a smile forming on her face, and she relaxes. She nods. I sigh.
''But don't think you'll get away with it next time,'' I hiss. ''Working me up,'' I mumble under my breath.
She blushes, and looks away but I force her to look moving her chin lightly with my finger. Our foreheads touch, and she slowly moves to brush her lips lightly across the crown of my head. Then she plants a kiss on my eyelid, moving to my cheek, then my jaw, before reaching to give me a peck on the lips.
''You're doing this on purpose,'' I groan against her skin.
''I'm not doing anything,'' she winks.
I groan and pull her under the covers. She covers her mouth in an attempt to contain her laughter. I smirk. I jump on top of her and plant kisses down her neck, knowing it'll make her uncomfortable again. She freezes under me. That shut her up. I can't help but feel a bit sad that she can't relax around me, but at the same time I feel victorious. I'm the only one that makes her feel this way, and she knows it. I intertwine her fingers with mine, and pull her against my chest.
I close my eyes immediately, being tired and all. Tomorrow is going to be a big day. The tournament begins at 11 o 'clock, and I need to go watch Katniss's game also. I might not make it to the beginning, but everything's better than not to show up at all.

Katniss POV:
''And another marvelous lay up from Vracar's very own Katniss Everdeen,'' Claudius Templesmith's voice boomed.
The tournament's commentator along with Ceasar Flickerman who is known to change his hair color every year. Heard this year it's blue. Speaking of him, he isn't here. There has been a change in the schedules, so I guess he's commentating on Cato's match. Usually this kind of things don't happen, so everyone can watch each others matches.
I lock my eyes with Glimmer, and she gives me a nod. We're going through with coach's next plan. Operation three. Glimmer's jersey number, and her action. This action was made for her. For her speed, and strength.
Delly passes me the ball, and I slowly work my way to the second half of the court. I see Cassie make an opening on my left. I trick the player in front of me, so instead of passing the ball to my left, I pass to my right, to Dorothy. I sprint to my left to block Cassie's player, while she takes my place. She gets the ball from Dorothy, while Glimmer blocks my player, and makes an opening for Dorothy. Of course everybody thought Dorothy was finishing, and that's where Glimmer comes in and gets the ball. She pivots to her right, and goes straight for the basket. Perfect shot.
Atala, the referee blows the whistle. The match is over, we won! We sprint to the circle in the middle of the court and hug each other like a team.
''Who is the best?'' I yell.
''VRACAR!'' they yell, raising their hands.
We congratulate the other team on their game, and head for the changing rooms. Red Angels are playing after us. I guess Cato got hold up. Actually, we had a big crowd of people watching, I might not have seen him.
''KATNISS!''
I turn around and run right into Gale's embrace. I missed him. I'm really glad he came to watch us. I return his hug, and he lifts me in the air.
''Put me down,'' I giggle.
''As you wish Catnip,'' he chuckles.
I forgot how much fun I have when I'm with him. I noticed he always brings a smile on my face.
''I'm going to go change, and we'll meet up after, okay?'' I smile, heading for the changing rooms.
''WAIT!'' he calls out, spinning me 'round, leaning in to...kiss me?
I don't have any time to react when his lips smash onto mine. My eyes are wide open, and I can't move. Is this really happening?
He pulls away quickly, and I prepare myself to run, my eyes teary, when I notice someone standing behind him. Cato.
A/N: Also for the other story I mentioned. I might be making a poll like Camilla requsted:) !..I'll take my time to see everyone's opinion..but I'd like you to choose couples like for example: Cato- and you tell me who you like him best with( Clove/Glimmer/Katniss), and for couples that are a certain there is no need to mention like Finnick and Annie( I can't picture them with anyone else:) ) ... Maybe you even like the couples as they are in this story( of course in that one there will be even more couples), and so on...The reason I'm doing this is because I noticed there are a lot of Clato shippers reading my story ( personally I am also, but I fell in love with KATO too), so I would like to make it up to everyone who maybe don't like the couples in this story , but like the story. Although it would be hard for me to write a GLATO fanfic because I just don't like them,and the only person I can picture Glimmer with is Marvel.
