Chapter 16

"Nothing. Nothing at all." She puts her hands up in surrender. We all laugh at them. They make a cute couple.
Like me and Katniss did.
'Damn it Marvel! Stop thinking like that! She has Finnick and you have Ember! STOP! THINKING! OF! KATNISS! LIKE! THAT!' I scold myself. I have to stop thinking like that. I can't hurt Kat or Finnick like that. Or Ember for that fact.
But I know that sooner or later it'll come to bite me in the ass.
Finnick's P.O.V.
"And there's the big dipper." I point out to my princess that is laying her head on my chest, looking up to the stars as I point out the constellations. I lay my hand on her arm and rub it lovingly. I love my Princess. Which reminds me.
"Kitty?" I have so many nicknames for her, it's not even funny.
"Finny?" She mocks me. I chuckle and sit up with her still in my arms. "What? What's wrong?" She looks to me with concern on her face.
I shake my head and stand up,"Wait here. I've got to go get something out the truck."
"Oh okay. Hurry back Finn." I nod and walk back to my truck. I unlock my truck and unlock the glove compartment. Well, here I go.
Katniss' P.O.V.
Life's been good. I got to knock the living shit out of a person that I really don't like, I get one of the most amazing boyfriends in the world, Dylan is in a safe place, my friends are getting along very, VERY well, and summer break is almost here.
I hear Finnick close his truck door and with my 'supernatural hearing', as Finn and Marvel call it, I hear Finnick's footsteps behind me. His steps are heavy and that's why I don't take him with me to go hunting anymore. I don't take people hunting with me any more for that reason, Cato's steps entirely to heavy, Marvel could step light and become a 'ninja' as they call me, but with lots of practice. Clove and Ember can step light but choose not to. And Dylan, I just don't want him to be around anything dead, not even the animals that I hunt.
"Kat?" I hear Finn call. He stands in front of me with a curious loo on his face.
"Sorry, over thinking things."
"What about?"
"About how you can't step lightly for shit. And everybody else. You, my good sir, can't step like a 'ninja' for shit." I say chuckling. He laughs along with me.
He pulled me closer to him."Princess?"
"Yes, Finn."
He got down on one knee and my eyes widen at the motion, and pulled out a velvet box. "Finn?" He took my left hand in his and held it while he was kneeled down in front of me.
Oh. My. God.
"Katniss Everdeen. I love you so much. I feel like you're my other half. I don't think I can picture my life without you. I promise to try my best every day to make you as happy as can be. I promise to love you till it hurts and then some. I promise that I will support you. I promise to support your dreams. I promise to get you everything in you heart's desire. I promise to tell you how absolutely stunning and beautiful you are every chance I get. I promise to make you feel loved every day of your life for as long as we live. I promise to never leave you. I promise. Katniss Everdeen. Will you..."
Marvel's P.O.V.
"No! I'm smarter! You have shit grades! I have the A's!" Cato's slurred voice rings out in the game room. We are all drunk off our asses and I have no clue how Cato got on this subject. We were just now playing Candy Land.
"What!? You have it backwards, Dumbass!" I shout out at the accusing looking Cato. He get's D's. "You get D's, Dumbass. And I get B's! So pick the next damn card, then more your red ass person!" I slurred out. Everyone laughed.
"You said ass." Johanna slurred out in between laughs. I laughed with them. When we all started to calm down. We all looked at each other and then Jo said,"Ass." We burst out in laughter again. We calmed down once again and Cato got up and pointed at Gloss.
"I bet I'm stronger than you. Arm wrestle. Now." They started to arm wrestle and then when Cato won the contest he got another beer and drank it all in one 's the drunkest of us all, Ember's passed the fuck out, Jojo is giggling her ass off, Gloss is in a daze, Cato's guzzling yet another beer, and I'm sitting here taking everything in, I think I saw Clove walk off to the bathroom. Oh well.
The Narrator
Everyone was doing their own thing. Cato, getting even drunker. Clove, sleeping in the bathtub. Johanna, still laughing her ass off over nothing. Ember, still dead to the world. Marvel, thinking of how he can't have Katniss, the only girl he thinks he can truly ever love. Gloss, still deep in thought about pancakes. Yes, pancakes. Don't ask me! I'm just the narrator! Oh! Wait I think something is happening! Yep! Cato just fell and passed out, causing Johanna to laugh even harder. Gloss was still in thought, but this time, he's thinking of which is better:Waffles or Pancakes. Clove, still in the tub, rolled over, she accidentally moved the knob to the cold water. But not enough to turn it on...Yet.
Okay well, I'll turn this over to Finnick and Katniss. I know. The writer of this story is a bitch for making us wait...shit. She just heard me. toritwilight504 is the best writer that I will ever have the pleasure of narrating!...still a bitch though.
Now! Back to Finnick and Katniss.
Katniss' P.O.V.
"Katniss Everdeen. I love you so much. I feel like you're my other half. I don't think I can picture my life without you. I promise to try my best every day to make you as happy as can be. I promise to love you till it hurts and then some. I promise that I will support you. I promise to support your dreams. I promise to get you everything in you heart's desire. I promise to tell you how absolutely stunning and beautiful you are every chance I get. I promise to make you feel loved every day of your life for as long as we live. I promise to never leave you. I promise. Katniss Everdeen. Will you accept my promise ring along with my promises to you?" I gasped with tears running down my face.
I nodded my head frantically. "Of course, Finnick. I accept your promise ring." He smiled, slid the ring on my finger and stood up to kiss me with so much love and passion, my knees almost gave way. We both smiled into the kiss and I deepened it by grabbing the short hairs on the back of his head and pulled him closer to me.
What a night.
