Finnick gets to out spot first of course. I forgot a blanket and food, but it's okay, because we always keep a blanket hidden under a tuft of grass. We can always go fishing and light a bonfire to cook the food. He plops down and motions for me to sit next to him. I'm feeling a little flirty, so I sit on his lap. His arms automatically move around my waist. "Do you want to go swimming and catch some fish?" Finnick looks at me and shakes his head.
"Let's just lay here for a while then go swimming."
"Deal." I scoot off his lap and lay down beside him. Our hands find each other and I lean my head on his shoulders. "Love you."
"Love you too. Annie, why do you love me anyway? Every girl in Panem is basically throwing themselves at me and I could literally have any one. You are one of the most beautiful girls in all of the country. You could have anyone in the district. Why me?"
I sigh. We've been over this. I tell him at least twice a week. "Finn, I tell you all the time. I love you because you have helped me when I have been in the hardest times in my life. When my dad became abusive, you stood up for me. When he died, you let me move in with you. Also, you have been faithful for two years. How could I not love you?"
"But sti…" I cut him off by kissing him. "That was a really nice way to shut me up." He smiles, picks me up, and carries me bridal style to the water.
"No! Don't! Finnick…" He drops me into the ice-cold water. I am still in my clothes though. I come up and take off my shirt and shorts. My bikini is underneath, as I have a habit of wearing it a lot. "Wanna go to our spot?" He nods and swims to the cave. It is about thirty feet across and goes sixty feet back. There is a shelf about three feet above the water and a blanket rests there. We swim over to it and get on the blanket. "Let's just spend the night here. Is that okay Annie?"
"Yeah, that's good." I lie down and he lies next to me. I put my head in my chest, and his arm encircles me. "Night Finn. Love you."
"Night, love you too."
