Annie POV

Uh, oh, not good at all, not good at all. Why would Finnick do such a thing? I mean seriously, just because he wanted adventure, he just can't lead us into trouble like now. Now I am putting my head outside the window looking at the guys talking with the police who had accused them of driving in high speed. They could be Peacekeepers or Rebels.

Peacekeepers could be easily be bribed, have easy access to everywhere, for which they easily misused and some are really mean and cruel. They were installed by our former President, Coriolanus Snow, who was executed for illegal activities, now replaced by President Paylor, who appointed new police called Rebels.

The guys keep talking which starts worrying me. My panic settles when I see the smug looks on their faces but satisfaction when Cato shows a thumbs up.

"I want a full explanation on what happened out there" I demand

"Easy Sugarcube, the peacekeepers just wanted to see some printed money" Finnick says

"Did you guys bribe them?"

They look at each other and a sly grin passes on all their faces. This is not good. Bribing is against the rules of the Government. They are breaking the rules.

"Do you know that you are gonna get punished"

"That doesn't matter, Annie, at least until they are safe, we are safe" Madge tells

"But don't you guys feel guilty. You will be put charges now not only for over speeding but also for bribing and you know this will-" I am stopped by Finnick's lips, brushing against my cheeks as he shouts

"What are we waiting here for? Hop in everyone" Everyone gives him a death glare then he shrugs and tells

"Woah, fine, I'm not driving. Fine Hadley, your car, your turn, you drive"

Cato goes for the driver seat while we all pack up. Right now, I am sure I must look like a tomato blushing furiously at the thought that Finnick kissed me. Just a slight brush on the cheek which was enough to spread heat all over my body.

The girls give a knowing smirk, making kissy faces and sounds and grinning at me as my face turns more reddish. But Finnick seems to care less as he pops yet another sugarcube into his mouth.

The car leaves and suddenly Clove starts shouting

"So is Cresta here dating Onair there?"

"That's Odair Shopaholic, more of Catoholic" says Finnick rolling his eyes "And yes of answering your question, me and bookworm got married just two hours ago so your question is pointless" he continues sarcastically

When I hear him tell that, I feel like my heart has crashed to the ground. That was just one of his tricks. I thought that when he flirted with me, he had liked me that and yesterday had I decided that I will show my feelings to him but now I feel claustrophobic and like someone had sucked out the air. I am hyperventilating and feel tears coming to my eyes. Everyone looks at me but I couldn't care less. I was imagining me and him in every novel I had read which I had not done with others whom I had gotten out with. Not 50 shades of grey. I didn't read that. And I am not planning to do so. I am more into old, old books.

Finnick looks at me and actual concern etches his face. "You guys gone nuts, eh. I have no idea what you guys are talking about and Finn, dude you are just overacting. And what happened to you babe? Can anyone just explain what the hell is going on here?'' Cato interrupts as everyone stares at Cato, Clove, then Finnick and back at me.

Then Finnick's concerned face has this playful twinkle in it and as if he couldn't control it, he bursts out laughing and a high pitched girl's laugh clears the tense atmosphere. Cato's right. Finnick has really gone nuts. So has Clove but at this moment all I feel is anger and instead of shouting, the angry fire inside condenses the steam turning it into tears threatening to fall from my eyes.

"Guys, what, the, hell, is, going, ON" Katniss shouts because their laughs are just getting louder that I am afraid that Cato might get distracted.

"You know what kitty, I actually got some little help from someone to make sure that Annie really likes me so that we played out this little drama" Finnick manages to get through his laughter.

"It was worth it though. You all looked as if struck by a lightning" Clove says trying to compress her giggles.

"We thought you were mad, though" Gale muttered.

"Not funny though" Madge says and because sitting next to me rubs my back and tells me to be strong.

"Annie is so sensitive. Don't play with her feelings."

"Yeah, so sensitive that her skin might turn red with the slightest touch. Exposure to sunlight melts her" Finnick tells sarcastically.

This actually gets me that I try to turn back where Finnick is sitting and try to glare at him through my tears only failing miserably and Finnick scoots closer.

"Easy Sugarcube, lets make it work out and don't try to glare. You look like a terrified kitten" Finnick tells and brushes away the lone tear which escaped from my eye with his hand but is broken away by Peeta

"This is a car for god sakes! Go get a room, you two." He tells and suddenly the awkward tension is broken. Soon the joyful cheer returns to the car as Finn keeps cracking jokes on how to properly ask me out on a date and everyone keeps rejecting until he comes up with one of the kind which I like, the olden and classical type. Even though Finn got the Shakespeare type all wrong.

Yon, fair lady,

Accept this thy ol' man's

Proposal out on ye date

And I thy show you, my fair lady

The wonders of the world
