Restless Nights
"What did he say?" I ask Finnick holding him close. His chin rests on my shoulder as we lay under the covers of my bed.
"Don't you worry about it Annie, I was just about the arrangements like where I have to go." he sighs.
"No it wasn't. Finn I know when you are lying and you're lying now." I say stroking his hair.
"It honestly doesn't matter Annie, really. Just remember I'll always love you, none of those women from the Capitol, no matter what Snow says." Finnick says kissing my head gently.
"I don't want you to take the punishment for me though. It's not fair." I say.
"I'd do anything for you Annie. I would give up my life to keep you safe." he says soothingly as he moves his lips to mine. He kisses me softly, sucking on my lips and I feel his hand move to my breast.
"Not yet Finn, I'm not ready." I say.
"I won't make you uncomfortable. It's just that I'm so used to it, sorry Annie. We'll do it when you're ready." says Finnick hugging me and kissing my check.
"I don't want you to go away Finn. I'll not be ok without you; I honestly have no idea what I'll do." I whisper into his ear, entwining my fingers in his bronze hair. I kiss him again.
"We've still got the Victory Tour to go Annie. Before you know it I'll be back and if you want come to the Capitol and I can see you sometimes. I've only got to go to two clients a day and it doesn't take that long." Finnick says hugging me tighter. I never want to let go. He falls asleep shortly after but I can't. It's too hard, I don't want the nightmares.
