Two hearts beats as one (Hunger Games fanfiction)

Chapter 3: Why am I not surprised?

Chapter 3

Finnick's P.O.V.

As soon as we sit in the car, I feel that something is going on. The air in the car is so tense that I almost become nervous.

I'm looking in the rearview mirror once every five minute and see how Peeta and Katniss turns to look at each other but in different waves so they miss each other. They do that so often I start to wonder if they do that on purpose. Something's happened, anyone can see that.

Annie was also trying to look back at Peeta and Katniss, but she couldn't without them noticing her, so she sighed impatiently and sank into the soft seat, trying to sleep instead.

Katniss was so right about Annie. She is beautiful, smart, funny, sweet and everything.

All the girls at school are trying to catch my attention.

Before Peeta moved they divided themselves between us two, then when he left me all the girls was left with only me as intrest. But no one has interested me.

Cato, Marvel and Gale even thought that I'm gay because I do not like some girls. They came up to me one day and suddenly just say that 'it's okay for me to like guys instead of girls'. I hit Marvel on the nose so hard that he started bleeding and it took me two hours to get them to understand it's just the girls at school that doesn't interest me. But Annie. Well she must I do to mine. It just is what it is. And what it is, is that she really need te be mine.

I look at Annie who have managed to fall asleep and snore low and sweet.

I smile.

"How's it going between you two then?" I hear Katniss ask with a grin in her voice.

"What do you mean?" I ask, looking at the road instead, I mean I still drive the car and everything, but I'm getting tired now.

It's six o'clock in the evening and we should arrived in New York in about an hour, but if the traffic gets a little less perhaps in forty-five minutes. And New York is our first stop.

"Well I heard the way you started to flirt with her, before we even had time to start the trip, Finn," Katniss says and I look in the mirror and sees that she smirks at me.

"She's beautiful," is all I'm saying.

"I know that Finn," Katniss says. "And she's also one of my best friends so hurt her and I hurt you! Got it?"

The awful thing about it is that she actually serious. She wouldn't hesitate to hit me if I would do something stupid. It's good I guess, she looks after her friends and I respect her for that. But she dosen't need to hurt me because I have no intention to hurt Annie. Not at all. And if I would hurt her, I would seriously hurt myself. Not kiddning!

Peeta chuckles.

"Take it easy Katniss, I have no intention of hurting her," I say and Katniss grins again.

"Oh I know," she said in that tone that warns me from doing something stupid and I start laughing. Oh Katniss, you're funny you.

"The two of you then?" I ask.

Peeta silenced.

"What about us?" he asks.

"Well I don't know if you notice it, but I get nervous of how tense it is in the air in here," I grin.

I'll look in the mirror again and sees that they look at each other. Katniss has started to turn white in the face.

Wow. It might actually have happened something. But if it have, then there is something between the two of them and not me, so I don't know if it's so smart to put myself in the middle of it. If they want to tell, they tell soon enough.

"Never mind," I say and I hear Katniss sigh in relief.

Just then I see how Annie begins to stretch and sit up while she yawns and rubs her eyes.

"Good morning my beautiful," I say.

Annie looks at me in surprise, but then she starts blushing and smiling.

"How far is it to go to New York?" she asks with her sweet, tired and innocent voice.

She always sounds so sweet and innocent when she talks.

It's dark out now, so she understands that we are close.

I'm looking at the clock. Hm ... time goes by fast sometimes.

"About half an hour," I reply. "How should we do when we get there?"

"Well, we can eat at the resturant, but we can also order room service," Katniss says.

"Can we really need that?" Annie asking.

"Yes, of course, it was the Plutarch said, the hotel will send the bill directly to him when we're checking out," Katniss says. "That reminds me, by the way ..."

She takes off her belt and kneels in the seat while she leans over towards the tailgate and digging for something and comes forward with cooler bag as our lunch was in. But what does she want with it? We've already eaten the packed lunch.

"I thought it was best that we could drive a bit before I took up these," she says as she opens the bag.

Annie sighs so I guess she already know what's in the bag.

Katniss takes out an envelope and takes out ... what the hell is that? Why do I say this in my head?

"What the hell is that?" I ask.

She is at least ten thousand hands. She counts the money.

"There are twelve thousand so we get three thousand each," she says. "And it is no use protesting, I tried when Plutarch gave them to us, so suck it up."

"Katniss, we can't take that," Peeta says. "Your stepfather already pay for all the hotels we stay at, including room service."

"I know and I tried to talk to him, but he is who he is," Katniss sighs and sticks three thousand in Annie's hands.

She hands out the rest of the money and then takes out her own wallet.

She doesn't seem happy about the money, that's why I accepted them without bitching against. I know how much Katniss hate it when people try to do things for her. She had to be as independent in the past that she has simply become accustomed to it, and hate it when people try to help her.

Soon, we see all the lights that light up the mighty city of New York City.
