We stared at each other for sometime before we started to talk about what had happened in the woods. The air was tense as if he was about to make a huge confession, It felt like he had a knot on his throat about to explode after all of this time. "We need to talk." I said, "I know, are you ready to do it right now?" He asked me with his hand stroking my hair. "Are you ready to tell me the truth this time?" I asked him with a doubtful glance. "I'll explain everything from start to finish, with every single detail. I promise you Lucy Gray, I won't ever lie to you anymore. This is the start of a new me, a new Panem, a new world. You'll understand everything once I explain my plan."
When I heard those words come out of his mouth I couldn't believe it, he looked like he was actually telling me the truth, like if he was ready for something more serious than what we had at 12. I was confused with what he meant by a new Panem, what was he trying to do? Was he actually going to change the way this country worked and the way this people thought? After everything that has happened I couldn't believe there was still good in him, I couldn't believe he was the same man I fell in love with.
After what he said, he looked at me, hugged me, and left. I finished eating my breakfast and went outside to find a peacekeeper. "President Snow is waiting for you on the rose garden." I still couldn't get used to people calling him president, he was actually climbing into the top like the Snow that he is. As I started to make my way to the rose garden I started to analyse the way the presidential house was kept in, it was in amazing state and was filled with very luxurious decorative objects. There were white roses everywhere as if the whole house was a rose garden and I couldn't help but think about him every time I saw one.
I soon arrived at the door of the rose garden, it was a white with gold door and it looked very sophisticated. I opened the door to find him picking a white rose from one of the piles. He looked at me in a way he had never done before and started to walk towards me, he got ahold of my hands and handed me the rose. I picked a petal and ate it, "taste' like bedtime," I whispered onto his ear. He grabbed my face and pulled in for a kiss, without thinking twice, I gave it back and what was supposed to be a talking meeting turned into a long awaited make out session. I jumped to him and as I wrapped my legs on his back he sat me on the table in front of us, not mattering what was in there. I had had dreams like this, some days I would miss him that much that the start of the nightmare would be him coming for me, kissing me and then turning on me.
After 30 minutes, I broke out of the kisses, remembering what was the actual reason I was even up there. "Is everything okay?" He asked me, "Yeah, just that um, you told me to get up here to talk..." did he actually call me up there to talk, or was it only to hook up? I could stop thinking about it. "Oh yeah, I'm sorry, I kind of forgot what I had called you up here for when I saw you walk up here...you know." He blushed as soon as he said that, I had never seen him blush before, it was as if something had happened while I was away that had totally changed him. "I thought I had lost you. I thought I would never see you again cause of my stupid and selfish mistake." He looked at me holding back tears. I can't see him like this. "You never lost me, I never stoped loving you." I said trying to hold back a sob. When I said those words we both made long eye contact and broke into tears. "I want to know what happened, I want to know everything." I told him while cleaning up my tears. "Where do you want me to start?" He asked while stroking the top of my head in the most delicate way he'd ever touch me. "Let's start with Sejanus, what did you do to him and why." I said it with a soft voice trying not to make a mistake by triggering the wrong memory. "You know he was starting to be involved in rebel acts, He was 'close to me' or so I made it seem. They were going to hang me at the tree just for knowing him and with me, you were coming too. I couldn't let him harm you so when everything started to get even worse, I recorded a conversations between us to send to Dr.Gaul, she then took matters into her own hands and forgave my life and yours for informing the capitol about who the rebels were. Lucy Gray, if I could change anything from the past I would but I can't, I can't change the decisions I made to be able to save us, to save you." He looked at me looking for forgiveness and showing regret as tears rolled down his face. "I understand why you made those decisions but, why did you lie to me in woods that day, why did you start to shoot the gun towards me, why were you trying to kill me." I said while sobbing into his eyes. I couldn't understand why my love had done that to me. "I lied because I was ashamed and scared of what you would think of me, I thought it would be better for you to think of me as a liar than a killer but you figured it out before I was able to run. I thought you were going to kill me Lucy Gray, I thought you had gone out to bring people to end me. I reacted in the place and at the time under a lot of stress and didn't think well of my actions and the consequences of them." He was speaking while sobbing into my arms and as he tried to speak he kept getting stuck between words. "I thought I had killed you. So I ran back to the Capitol, I killed Dr.Gaul after realising who the real evil was and teamed up with Dean highbottom to change Panem. It turns out he never actually agreed to the Games and it was all my father's fault, so to be able to carry out the plan I became president and pushed grandma'am and Tigris away. It would be unsafe for them to know the plan and the risks so I just send them checks every month and hope this works out as soon as possible."
After he explained everything to me I couldn't help but to feel horrible for him, he has had to pretend to be the most evil person on this planet for the sake of the whole country. He has developed in a way that I never imagined he actually would. "Why did you want me here?" I asked in confusion because I still had nothing to do with the plan. "I wanted to be sure you were safe Lucy Gray, and... Who is the president without his first lady." He grabbed my hand and kissed it, I looked at him and we both chuckled. I had forgotten how much I actually loved this man, And him now, this was the best development someone could have.
He then helped me get off the table and grabbed my hand to go down stairs. "Where are you taking me?" I chuckled. "Trust me." He answered. When he was about to open a door he let go of my hands, "close your eyes" he whispered into my ear and we both giggled. I closed my eyes and heard the sound of the door opening. I had no idea what it could be, at this point the main emotion to run in my body was confusion. I then suddenly heard a whisper in my ear, "Go ahead, Open them." He said causing me the feeling of scratching my way in the best way possible. I opened my eyes and my eyes went straight into this butterfly and snakes guitar, as I turned to examine the whole room I realised what it was, he had made me a personalised music room. "It's just for you" he whispered into my ears while grabbing me by my waist from behind me. I turned to face him and saw a weird look on his face. "What is it?" I asked him, having no clue of what he was thinking. He looked at me and caressed my face with his soft and warm hand. "With this room I was hoping to ask you a question." I looked at him confused and scared of what he was gonna do. Was he gonna propose? He couldn't. "I was hoping you would move in with me into this house, we could change Panem together, You could go on tour through the whole country with no one stopping you." He looked scared of what I would answer. I looked at him and caressed his cheek, "You don't have to build me a whole music room just to try to convince me to stay, Coryo." He looked at me confused not knowing what it meant, "I would move in with you without thinking twice even if you told me we would have to leave in the middle of a dessert with no food nor water, just us. You are enough for me." A tear slid down my cheek and he wiped it off with his thumb. He grabbed me softly and kissed me. I pushed him to the couch that was next the guitars and sat on top of him. The next thing I knew he was making love to me as we started to become one. As he was on top of me I couldn't help to cry because of how much I loved him, and of course, how much I was enjoying it.
After we finished, we waited some minutes to cool down laying down together in the couch. "I think I'm going to have to buy a new couch." He said jokingly. I couldn't help but to crackle, "Coryo!" I said giggling. We started to get dressed and suddenly heard a know on the white wooden door. "Mr.Snow, food is served." A maid was calling us down stairs. "We're going right down." He answered. "A maid is telling us to go eat something other than ourselves." I said making both of us crackle. He held my hand and went helped my way through the door and into the dinner table.
We finished eating and went headed to bed. "The room they gave you yesterday was only for a night, I was hoping we could share a room. Of course if thats a problem let me know and your room will be done in no time." I looked at him and smirked "Coriolanus, being with you, also means seeping with you and I don't just mean that in a dirty way. I want to share a bed with you for the rest of my life." He smirked back. "Okay then follow me into your forever room." He joked. When he opened the door it was even more beautiful than the last one, It was perfect. We got dressed into our pjs and went straight to sleep, after all it had been a tiring day.
