Finnick's POV

I woke up to find myself sleeping face-to-face with Andrea. My one hand was on her waist and on the other hand Andrea had her head resting upon. One of her hands was wrapped around my neck.

What was she doing in my bedroom?

I was completely stupified.

Well, this was too much to process and I sprang from my bed and tripped to the floor. I fell with a thud. This brought me back to my senses and I looked around. This was not my bedroom!

I must have made quite a noise as Andrea woke up all of a sudden. She was wearing a nightgown and was ruffling her messy hair. Even in this messy state, she looked pretty.

Damn me.

"So, you woke up?" she enquired from me.

"Can you tell me where am I? How did I come here?" I asked her with a confused look.

"You don't remember anything? And in answer to your questions, you are in my bedroom," she replied in a casual way but I think I saw a little disappointment in her eyes when she said that. Like her face dropped.

Seeing my eyes popping out,she briefed me about the previous night.

"Oh" was all I could manage to say.

After a pause, I asked in an anxious tone,"I hope I didn't do or said anything which I shouldn't have while I was drunk. I am really sorry but I didn't mean to."

She paced around the room as if deciding whether to tell me or not. After moving around her room a few times, she blurted,"You said that you liked me."

She turned her back towards me and stared at the window.

"Oh..umm...what did you say to that?" I asked in a low voice.

"I Kissed you",  she said quietly and turned to face me. I felt my heart leap. I stared at her in disbelief and my face was of complete shock. Slowly I realized a small wobbly smile creeping on to my face.

Andrea's POV

I don't know why I said that I had kissed him but maybe it was just that I wanted to see his reaction. His reaction baffled me. He had a confused look as well a little smile on his face.

I felt laughter slowly coming up. It was really funny to see that look on his face. Within a few minutes, I was rolling on the floor and there were tears in my eyes. Finally, I stopped but Finnick's bewildered look sent me again laughing.

"You really believed it?" I managed to say while laughing.

He just glared at me.

"Oh my god! The look on your face was just too much. Hahaha!!"I continued saying.

He just said,"Good acting you do. And I am sorry about yesterday.Troubling you and all. I didn't mean anything I said."

With that he put his hands in his pocket and casually went and stood in the balcony.

I sat on the edge of the bed staring at the floor.

I didn't mean anything I said.

The words haunted me.

He didn't mean anything. He was drunk so he just said anything. And here was I who liked him so much. I was living in false hopes. Tears welled up in my eyes. I felt a small tear falling on the floor. More followed. I heard Finnick saying something. I wiped my tears quickly before he could see me.

Finnick came up to me and looked a little tensed when he saw me."Guess I forgot to do something important. Happy Birthday Andrea.Your birthday will be special. And do you remember our plan? "he looked at me eagerly.

I had almost forgotten that it was my birthday today and about the plan too. I was lost in my world. With Finnick, of course."Thanks Finnick. And congo to you for wishing. I had almost forgotten myself. Both the birthday and the plan," I replied and tried to look as happy as possible.

"And don't you need the birthday hug?"he asked me with a smirk.

"Birthday hug?I never heard about it," I said playfully.

I was about to say more but he stopped me short and hugged me. I hugged him back.

I said to him with a smile, "Thanks Finnick. Seems like today would be a good day."

He smiled in return and laughingly said,"So how was it hugging me, Andrea Ambush? Girls generally die for my hug."

In return I replied with my tongue out,"Its not our first hug, Finnick Peterson. I feel sorry for those girls."

He gave me a confused look."Not our first hug? When did we hug earlier?" he asked me in a serious tone.

I was expecting these questions. I replied with my eyes on the floor, "Yesterday".

I knew what was following next.

"You didn't tell me! What else happened?" he demanded.

I replied,"Nothing great."

Seeing I had nothing more to say, he wished me once again and while going back, grabbed my waist and pulled me near him and whispered, "I would like if you wear my present to the movie. See you in the evening. Bye."

Saying this, he went back. But I should mention he went through the balcony. Not through the main door knowing how my parents would react to this.

I had forgotten about my birthday and the plan this morning. But I had also forgotten about the present Finnick gave me. When will I think of things other than Finnick. What has he done to me?

I shook my head and I quickly unwrapped the gift Finnick gave me only to find the most beautiful dress I ever saw. I clung the dress to my chest thanking Finnick with all my heart and slowly found myself wearing a beautiful smile.
