-Amily's POV-

Finnick and I arrived in the capital late last night. Tonight is the victory party for the newest victor, a career from District 1. I wasn't entirely eager to meet him but I knew it was inevitable.

Dimitry came to the fourth floor to style me for the party. He dressed me in an emerald green floor-length gown with a high slit running up my right leg. My chest was more exposed than I preferred but I guess this was another client requested outfit.

According to the note I received, I was to be glued to my client's hip from 9:00pm till 2:00am. At least I didn't have to go home with them, but I did have to stay later than I would have liked.

Finnick and Jo also had clients so I wouldn't get to see much of them until tomorrow. Blight hadn't had appointments since Gloss took over his clients. He would probably spend the night getting drunk with Anchor. They had been best friends since winning back to back games.

Anchor also didn't have appointments anymore, as Finnick took most of his clients four years ago.

Arriving at the mansion, Finnick and I make our way towards an already tipsy Anchor who is standing between the district three and five victors. We say hi before Cashmere and Gloss enter with their victor on their arms, his mentor Augustus Braun trailing behind them.

After being introduced to Luxor, the newest victor, I make my way over to the bar to grab a drink. I promised Finnick that I wouldn't get drunk, I just needed a little champagne to ease my anxiety.

The little bit of champagne turned into a lot of champagne and I was pretty drunk by the time I got back to the fourth floor around 4am. The party was too fun and I stayed an extra 2 hours. I wasn't expecting Finnick and Jo to be hanging out in my room when I got back but I guess they wanted to wait up for me.

"God Amily you took forever!" groaned Johanna.
"Sorry I was having fun," I say, doing my best not to slur.

Apparently I'm not good at pretending to be sober as Johanna bursts into giggles.
"Omg Ams you're drunk!!!!"

"Shhhh don't tell Finnick," I whisper.

"I'm literally right here," he groans as he stands up from the chair he was in. He makes his way over to me and I hold out my arms so he can see there's no syringe marks or new cuts. Johanna makes a comment about how cute we are and Finnick gives her a dirty look.

"Ooh let's play spin the bottle!" she shouts and Finnick and I immediately tell her no.

"Ugh you two are lameeee," she sighs as she lays back down onto the bed. I grab PJs and go to the bathroom to get changed.

Laying down on the bed next to Johanna, I realize that I didn't take my makeup off.

"Finn," I whisper. "Do you think you could bring me my makeup wipes?" He nods and returns with them a minute later.

"I'm not letting your drunk hands poke your eyes out," he states as he wipes your makeup off for you. I smile at him and he puts my makeup wipes back into the bathroom drawer.

He comes back into the bedroom to say goodnight and I pull him into bed with me. The capital beds are bigger than the ones in 4, but it's a bit of a tight squeeze for the three of you, considering Johanna sleeps like a sprawled out starfish.

You wake up to Anchor shouting at Finnick while Blight drags Johanna from the bed. It took a bit of convincing to get Anchor and Blight to believe that no threesome took place, but the lack of hickeys and abundance of clothed bodies settled their nerves. Anchor wasn't too happy at your hungover state but Finnick assured him that it was just champagne and you were fine.
