I've not had my first kiss so bare with me on the details that I've had to research :P Also thanks again to itsmagical1327 :)
Preston:
We sit in a peaceful silence. I stare at Bridget's moonlit face. The pale light makes her fair skin look almost as though she is glowing. I study every aspect of her sweet delicate face before she turns to me with her big dark chocolate eyes. She smiles at me before slowly putting her face millimeters from mine. Ours lips almost touching. I can't stand it any longer so I move slowly to close the gap between our skin while she closes her eyes. Our lips touch and I feel as though all my curiosity about her is replaced by a need for her.
Bridget:
As soon as our lips meet I feel an electric shock. I feel a warmth spread around my body starting at my lips. After a few seconds Preston opens his mouth to deepen the kiss and I panic a little because I have no idea what to do but then it all feels so natural and our tongues brush along each other. He tastes faintly like spearmint gum. The whole time Preston is gentle and his lips are warm and soft fitting perfectly with mine. We finally decide that oxygen is a needed aspect in living so we break apart at the same time and smile at each other with our foreheads leaning together.
"Oh My God! You two just kissed! Preston and Bridget sitting in a tree. K.I.S.S.I.N.G." I hear a familiar male voice behind me sing and my eyes widen.
"Finnick!" I scream.
"Yes." He says amused.
"Get the fuck over here!" I scream now pissed off with his immaturity.
Finnick walks over smiling and looking down at Preston's and my hand that became entwined during our kiss.
"Never ever tell my father about what you just saw." I warn Finnick.
"What about Chaff?" He asks hopeful.
"Not him either because he will tell Haymitch. Oh and especially don't tell my sister." Preston eyes Finnick.
"Aww you take all the fun out of it." He smirks. "But you could do something for me in return." I knew that was coming. I'm screwed.
"What?" I ask impatiently.
"You have to do whatever I say until this years games are over." Finnick grins obnoxiously.
"Whatever. But if you let one word slip the deal is off. Got it?" I say sternly. He agrees so we all shake hands to seal the deal.
Finnick then leaves and Preston and I head down as well but when we get to my bedroom door I stop him.
"Wait!" I say not knowing what I'm asking him to wait for.
"Yes?" He asks sweetly.
"Would you mind spending the rest of the night here. I can't go back to sleep and wake up not knowing if my nightmare was real and if you really got reaped."
"I don't know. Your father would kill me if he saw us."
"Then lets not hide. We can pretend we were watching a movie in the living room and fell asleep. Please?" I beg him.
He smiles. "Fine. Go pick a movie out."
"Okay. You should ask an avox for a pillow and blanket or something." I tell him.
I go and pick out a Vivienne Lockhart remake of Pride and Prejudice. I stick it in as Preston gets comfortable on the couch with the pillow and blanket that the avox brought him. I put my pillow on his lap and lay my head down and throw my duvet over me. Sometime during the movie I fall asleep to Preston playing with my hair and Mr Darcy talking.
Haymitch:
I wake up in the middle of the night and go into the living room to watch tv until I see some kid sitting upright with his head bowed. It must be Harman. He probably can't sleep and I don't blame him seeing as he has the private training session tomorrow, televised interviews two days after, and then the arena the next day. I get up closer and notice it isn't the kid I have to mentor but Preston. Oh no. Of course he's with Bridget and of course they watched a movie and of course she has her head in his lap and of course their both asleep! I think this counts as touching her. I think I can brake his hand. Yup I'm so braking his hand.
I guess I shouldn't brake his hand because this looks innocent enough and I don't want to wake Bridget. Lucky kid. This deciding is making me tired. It's too early. I'm going back to bed before Effie wakes me up.
Finnick:
I haven't been able to stop thinking about Preston and Bridget. What was the first job they were going to do for me? Huh. I remember my first kiss.
I was thirteen and this girl's family and mine were at the beach for the day. She'd been teasing me all day before I finally caught her signaling me to follow her into the ocean. I did and she led me to one of the caves. As soon as I came up from the water she beamed a bright smile at me which in turn made me smile. She walked up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck playfully and kissed my lips.
"Finnick? What are you thinking about you air head?" Haymitch snaps me back to reality.
"I was just thinking about Bridget and Preston..." I say before thinking and shut my mouth.
"Bridget and Preston what? Finnick?" Chaff asks.
"Nothing." I say a little too quickly.
"Finnick you better tell me or so help me God...!" Haymitch warns.
"I can't tell you! I promised!"
"Who did you promise?!"
"Bridget and Preston. I promised that I wouldn't tell you or Chaff or Peyton what you're trying to get me to tell you that happens to be what I specifically promised not to tell the three of you.
"What?" Haymitch is confused long enough for me to run away. I'm pretty sure he doesn't bother following because I don't hear any kind of chase behind me as the elevator doors close.
That was close!
"Oh hey Finn..." A female voice says from the back corner of the elevator.
Bridget:
I'm pretty sure Haymitch saw Preston and I on the couch because when I woke up in the morning he had already met up with the other victors after breakfast (which I'd missed). Today is the day that the tributes have their private training session. I'm hoping that Summer can at least manage a seven. I need to think positive for her.
It's the first day I have to myself because Finnick has gotten Preston to do something for him and Peyton is out with another victor kid girl I don't particularly care for. I can't think of anything productive to do so I ask for a hot chocolate from an avox and grab a book, called The Hobbit, after changing from my pajamas into some comfy sweats I wouldn't dare wear out in public.
I'm curled up and comfy on the sofa in the living room reading chapter three of The Hobbit and half way through my hot chocolate when the elevator dings. Finnick walks in and sees me. He saunters over.
"Hey B!" He says. Oh goody a nickname.
"What do you want Finnick? I'm enjoying my peace and quiet day."
"Well I was thinking maybe you could do me a favor?"
"Like what?" I ask emotionlessly.
"Would you mind buying me some boxers. I need some more." He smirked while more stating to me than asking me.
"You a..." I sigh. "Fine." I glare at him.
I go and change. Luckily Finnick isn't so cruel as to make me go out in sweats. Ugh I have to buy him underwear! Stupid Odair.
After Finnick gives me the money, I take a cab to the closest mall and tell the driver to keep the meter running while I run in and get Finnick's stupid boxers. I get plenty of strange looks as I walk in, grab some men's underwear, pay, and walk out. I curse Finnick under my breath the whole time.
I get back to the Training Center and take the elevator to the victors lounge. I see Finnick sitting with Chaff, Haymitch, and the woman from Chaff's district who's name I believe to be Seeder. I stalk straight over to him and throw the bag at his head.
"Happy now! You complete ass! Do you want to know how many strange looks I got?!" I almost shout at Finnick.
"Be lucky you aren't Preston right now. His is so much worse." Finnick smirks.
"Remind me never to do anything you can blackmail me with around you ever again!" I say forgetting that Haymitch is right there.
"Wait a minute... Black mail? Does this have something to do with what happened between you and Preston?" Chaff asks. My eyes widen. How does he know?
"What? How do you know about that?" I turn to Finnick. "HEY! I got your stupid underwear for nothing! You broke the deal!" I accuse.
"We don't know what you did just that it contains you and Preston. What is it?" Haymitch asks staring daggers at me.
I don't know why but for some reason I blush as the elevator dings and in walks Preston and Johanna Mason. He sees the situation and starts to slowly back up. Johanna notices so she drags him by his shirt collar over to us.
Seeder stares at me trying to figure something out. I look up at Preston which probably wasn't the best move.
"Did you two kiss? And Finnick caught you?" She asks me.
"How did you...?" Trail off as I see her smile.
"The way you look at him. You have a twinkle in your eye and the way you blushed when you saw him." She tells me wisely. I blush a deeper red.
"Wait a minute... What?! You two... Kissed?" Haymitch looks as if he wants to brake Preston's hand or something.
"Haymitch! They're fourteen! It was going to happen eventually." Johanna laughs.
"It was actually a pretty romantic and passionate kiss." Finnick teases.
My eyes widen as Haymitch looks like he's restraining from punching Finnick in the jaw. Chaff laughs which makes Haymitch relax a little.
"I'm going upstairs..." I say.
"Okay. Don't fall and brake a leg or anything." Haymitch grumbles.
"I'll go too." Preston says.
"Oh no you won't!" Chaff tells him.
"I want to know how this thing went down so I'm following you Bridget." Johanna tells me nosily.
"Whatever." I say as Johanna and I walk to the elevator. Seeder walked out two minutes before us after she gave me a smile and Chaff and Haymitch a small 'bye' so all that's left in the victors lounge is the guys.
When the elevator doors open they reveal Peyton. The girl she hung out with walks straight past me like I'm invisible. Johanna and I walk into the elevator and stand next to green eyed Peyton.
"So where did this kiss happen?" Johanna asks me.
"Kiss? What kiss?" Peyton asks while putting her light brown hair behind her ear.
"She totally made out with your brother!"
"Oh dear God." I mumble.
"I knew it!" Peyton shouts.
Peyton closes the silver doors that open to let her out on the eleventh floor. Great another one I have to explain the kiss to!
Preston:
Damn Johanna! She had to pull me into a mess that Bridget got herself into! The only problem is that Bridget is too careful to let it slip so... Finnick! He had to have let it slip!
"Did you let it slip?" I question him as my father and Haymitch watch.
"Sort of." Finnick agrees sheepishly.
"What?! I had to go dress shopping with Johanna and had to give her feedback for nothing?!"
"Well ya helped me out kid." Finnick smirks jokingly.
"So... You lost your kissing virginity aye?" My dad asks me smugly.
"What? How did you...?" I start to ask but instead take a deep breath. "Yes. I had my first kiss." I say calmly.
"Did you French kiss her?" Haymitch asks me. I'm not sure what emotion he is feeling but I guess drinking does that.
"I'd prefer not to go into detail about the kiss that your daughter and I shared." I respond maturely.
"I can though. They di..."
"NO!" I shout cutting Finnick off.
"They... What?" Haymitch asks.
"They... French kissed!"
"Oh. Okay." Haymitch said calmly.
"Huh. I expected you to freak out and be all 'I told you I'd brake your hand!' on me. Thanks for being cool." I tell him appreciative.
"Whatever." He mumbles.
I watch my dad say something to Finnick but I don't quite catch it. Finnick turns to my dad with an awkward look on his face and tells my dad he's crazy but dad just replies with 'I tried once but didn't know how to explain it and got a shut up and go away in return' Finnick then told dad it wouldn't work but he'd try. What the hell were they talking about?
After about ten minutes Finnick says he is bored and asks if I want to go to the roof. Why not? I'm bored anyway.
Bridget:
I'm on the roof with Johanna and Peyton so they ask for a play by play of what happened. I tell them about the nightmares and they 'aww' about it and then I tell them about my question of what he thought of me and his reply and I swear I saw Peyton get teary but she denies it. Then I describe that moment of when we kissed, my first kiss, and both girls hung on my every word. I described the electric shock I felt when our lips met, the warmth that spread through my body, and I even mentioned that he tasted like spearmint gum.
"I wish meg first kiss was that romantic. For me it was behind a dumpster at schooL when i was thirteen. What sucked the most was that he had just eaten peanut butter wand I'm allergic to peanuts. I also hate the smell and taste to so if my face hadn't have swollen I would have puked." Johanna tells us.
"Mine was after a date to the movies. Not eventful." Peyton also tells us.
Preston:
Finnick looks at me really awkwardly. I wonder if it has anything to do with what he and dad were talking about? We walk over to the ledge on the opposite side of where Bridget is. We don't say anything for a while. Finnick looks over at me and seems to be thinking really hard about something.
"What are you thinking Finnick? You look like your concentrating really hard."
"Well... Your dad asked me to talk to you and he thought now might be a good time."
"Okay... What did he ask you to tell me?"
Finnick takes a deep breath. "Well... The birds and the bees... I mean... Just..." He stops looking really embarrassed. I laugh at him.
"My dad asked you to give me a sex talk!" I state bursting out laughing until I'm holding my sides because it hurts.
"Yes. All I'm going to say is use a condom." He says a little sheepishly.
"I'm 14 I know that! I'm not stupid! I go to school!" I state, still laughing.
"Hey! I'm just doing your dad a favor!" He defends.
"Okay, man." I say smirking at him.
"What are you laughing so loud about?" Johanna asks me.
"My dad persuaded Finnick into giving me a sex talk." I almost start laughing again.
"Wow. Seriously?" Johanna asks Finnick with a grin.
"Yup." He pops his 'p'.
"That's pretty sad." She says. I notice that Bridget and Peyton are behind her. Crap. Bridget is biting her lip to stop from laughing at Finnick but then she looks at me and her eyes light up when she smiles.
"Well my job here is done so adios!" Finnick says. Johanna follows him and Peyton says she's going to leave us alone.
"You want to go somewhere?" I ask Bridget and she smiles. It takes my breath away every time.
"Sure. How about we go to the mall?" She asks me.
"Perfect. Just like you." I tell her kissing her cheek. She blushes.
Bridget:
Preston and I walk around the mall for a while before we get something to quench our thirst. We go into the 'Juicy Apple Coffee House'. I have no idea why it's name has apple but for a coffee house. Anyway, Preston orders a normal black coffee and I get a Chocolate Frappuccino. Preston and I discover that there is a riverside path that leads toward the training center. Lush green weeping willows line the river so I do what I'd do if I was five and go running into the vines and climb a little, so I'm hidden. Preston tries to find me but he just looks like a child that realizes that they can't find their mom in a supermarket. I laugh at him and he follows the sound until he's found me and we giggle like 5 year olds. We walk a little more with our hands entwined before I stop suddenly in the middle of the sidewalk.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Preston asks me genuinely concerned. My heart flutters at his pet name.
"What are we doing?" I ask.
"We're walking back to the training center." He says a little confused.
"I mean what are we doing?" I ask putting emphasis on the 'we'.
"I don't follow."
"What are we? Are we friends? Are we a couple? Or did that kiss mean nothing and we are just really close friends?" I ask.
"We are a couple I thought?... Unless you don't want us to be." He adds the end quickly.
I smile the way only he can make me smile as I stare into his aquamarine eyes. "Of course I want us to be a couple."
"Good. Well we better get back to the training cent..." Preston is cut off by one of the Capitol televisions coming on. They must be showing the private training scores. Come on Summer! Lets shoot for a 7!
The scores go as follows:
District 1: Boy- 11 Girl- 10
District 2: Boy- 11 Girl- 11
District 3: Boy- 7 Girl- 7
District 4: Boy- 9 Girl- 10
District 5: Boy- 7 Girl- 6
District 6: Boy- 4 Girl- 3
District 7: Boy- 8 Girl- 10
District 8: Boy- 5 Girl- 7
District 9: Boy- 7 Girl- 8
District 10: Boy- 6 Girl- 2
District 11: Boy- 9 Girl- 6
District 12: Boy-9 Girl- 8
Eight! Summer got an eight! How the hell did she manage that! I grin as I try to form words to say. I am stunned at my friend!
"Eight." I mumble.
"What?" Preston asks smiling at me.
"Summer got an eight!" I say.
"Summer?"
"Oh. I didn't tell you?"
"Nope."
"She's my best friend's sister. She's a year older than us and I was as close to their family as though they were my actual family. When she was reaped, it felt like my sister was being reaped." I told him.
He wipes my cheek and I realize I was crying. "I'm so sorry." He tells me simply and I give a half hearted smile.
"It's okay."
We walk back to the training center hand in hand. Once we get there I see Summer catch a glimpse of us and smile as the doors to the elevator close. We then walk up to the elevator and wait for the doors to open. We step into the silver box when it gets back down and shoot up to the eleventh floor so I kiss Preston's cheek good bye and before the elevator doors close I see Seeder flash a quick knowing smile at me. I'm alone for about 10 seconds before I get to twelve's floor.
"Where have you been?!" Effie's high pitch Capitol accent asks me.
"It's none of your business where I've been." I spit out at her.
"Yes it is my business! I'm the escort for twelve and therefore responsible for you!" She tells me a little pissed about my rudeness.
"Effie stop shouting at Bridget!" Haymitch says.
She huffs before asking again but calmer, where I have been.
"She was with her boyfriend." Summer says coming up behind us. I didn't realize that I'd stalked away from Effie into the living room.
"Summer!" I complain when she smirks at me.
"What? You aren't official?" She asks innocently.
"We became official early." I say sheepishly in front of Haymitch.
Haymitch has heard enough so he goes and gets a bottle of Vodka and everyone else sits down at dinner discussing Harman's 9 and Summer's 8 in training but Summer won't let me know the details. The little witch.
