Always

Chapter 3: Bar

I wake up to Finnick looking at my necklace. "Who's Peeta?" He asks.

That's the first time I've heard his name in a while. I shake my head. "Just a friend."

I lean up and kiss him.

"What time is it?" I ask.

Finnick leans over and looks at the clock. "9:30"

I smile and wrap my arms around Finnick's waist.

"Let's go to the bar tonight. I'm not working so we could have a little bit of fun." I smirk and kiss him.

"Okay." He kisses me back passionately.

"One more shot, brainless!" Johanna yells.

It's midnight and we are at the bar taking shots. Johanna and Gale were already here so we just hung out with them.

I chug the last shot down. That's the ninth shot, I think? I giggle.

"Why are you giggling?" Finnick wraps his arms around my waist.

"I've had nine shots." I giggle again. Finnick smiles.

"Your adorable. You know that?" I blush.

"Maybe." I smirk.

I look around to see a guy blonde hair and blues eyes looking at me. My heart beats faster.

He's now walking towards me. I hug Finnick tighter.

Once the guy gets up close I then relies it's not him.

"I'm Cato." I look up at his eyes. There not as blue as Peeta's.

"Katniss." I whisper.

"Do you know him?" I whisper in Finnick's ear.

He shakes his head. Finnick stands up and shakes his hand.

"I'm Finnick." His hand is protectively on my back.

"Cato." He smiles.

"She yours?" Cato asks looking at me.

"Yes. She is mine." He kisses my forehead.

*

We somehow get Cato to leave us alone. We both laugh when he leaves.

"Katniss." Finnick whispers in my ear. His arms snaking around my waist.

"Let's go home." He says.

"Okay, let me go find Johanna and tell her." I kiss his cheek.

I find Johanna minutes later dancing with Gale on the dance floor. I smile. I really hope they end up together.

I walk back towards Finnick. "Did you tell her?"

I shake my head. "No, she's dancing with Gale. Didn't want to ruin the moment." I smile.

*

We climb into bed and his arms wrap around my waist. I feel his warm breath on my neck.

"Katniss." Finnick whispers.

"Yes?" I ask, smiling.

"I love you."

Those three words bring memories back. When me and Peeta had to separate. When he told me he would always love me.

Do I love Finnick? I'll most likely never see Peeta again. Me and Finnick have been dating for a while. I then agree, that I do love him.

"I love you too." I whisper.

All I feel next is Finnick kissing my cheek and pulling me closer to him.

"Goodnight, Katniss."

Sleep pulls me under before I can say anything else.
