Beauty and the Brute||Catoniss Fanfic

Chapter 10

I wake up feeling something warm and strong encasing my body. I roll over to face whoever is in my bed with me.

When I turn over I find that a pair of blue eyes are staring at me. They're not the blue eyes I had come to love but they are still a magnificent blue.

The events of last night come rolling back to me from the nightmare, to asking Cato to stay in here with me.

"Good morning," he whispers to me.

"Good morning," I reply with downcast eyes. I start to feel really awkward so I pull away from Cato's grasp and stand up. I walk over to the closet in my room and pull out some clothes I'm going to be wearing today.

"Um, I'm going to go take a shower," I say awkwardly then walk into the bathroom. In turn the warm water on then some cold to make the perfect temperature. When I feel that it won't burn my skin I hop into the shower. I scrub my body raw to get rid of every piece of Cato on my skin. Even though we didn't do anything I still feel as though I need to get rid of his presence on my skin.

When I'm finished I hop out and put on the simple clothes I had picked out.

When I walk back out to the room I'm horrified to see that Cato is still lying in my bed.

"Shouldn't you go and get ready? We are leaving today," I ask him wishing he would leave already.

"I guess so," he says and hops up to leave. "See you later," he says to me before he walks out.

I'm surprised when I realize that I kind of miss him.
