Daughter (Hunger Games Fan-Fic) {Watty Awards 2015} (COMPLETED)

Chapter 26

  I toss and turn all night unable to sleep. My mind buzzes with thoughts and plots all about tomorrow's mission. Every time I shut my eyes nightmares of voices haunt me until I can't even blink. Max must've heard the commotion because I can hear him awake in the other room, flipping pages of his book and opening the fridge every hour.

  I stand up and shuffle my feet towards the kitchen where I hear Max gulping down a drink of some kind, but I get there too late and find Max gone from the kitchen and back in his bed. So instead I walk towards the living room.

  I find him awake in the early morning light sipping on a cup of tea.

  "You were bound to come sooner or later." He lifts up the blankets and pats the bed beside him.

  I smile, and close and lock the door behind me taking up his offer.

  "Now pay up!" He says squeezing me tightly.

  I kiss his lips gently.

  When we pull away our eyes lock and Max leans in again.

  That is when the electricity starts flowing through our bodies. Every second another spark flies. With every kiss I feel a shock of electricity that clears my mind.

  He presses his hands against the bed beside me as I wrap my arms around his neck.

  I smile his tongue slipping through my lips.

  The kiss just grows more passionate until my shirt is risen past my stomach right below my bra line and he is shirtless.

  I pull away gasping for air.

  Than I scoot towards him and remove my shirt, wearing only my white bra.

  "There now we are even." I smile again as he kisses my nose.

  He wraps his arms around me and tucks his head in between my shoulder and my neck.

  His bare chest against my back sends chills through my body.

  "Why are you so damn perfect all the time?" He asks.

  "Because of you." I smile and close my eyes falling into a deep sleep.

  I wake up to the smell of coffee, and my little brothers footsteps running towards me. I grab my shirt and throw it on as quickly as possible.

  "Rosie?" My little brother looks at me tears in his eyes.

  "Oh Dare what's the matter?" I pick him up and put him on my lap.

  "You said. You-" He looks at the floor dramatically.

  "I said what?"

  "You said you wouldn't leave me."

  "I am not leaving you. I am going on a trip and I will be back soon. I would never leave you permanently, only temporarily."

  "But if you are there no one is here to take care of me."

  "Auntie Melony!"

  "No Rosie. I want Mommy." I stay silent for a moment and then set him down on the bed, pulling on some rain boots.

  "How about Daddy." I ask smirking.

  I run up ten flights of stairs and take a very humid elevator another five levels before I reach my father's floor.
