Rose on Fire

Chapter 21

(Gale POV)
Now that Finnick is back, I can focus on Johanna, I always liked her a bit more than Annie. Johanna just has the best personality ever. I look over to her asleep on a couch, she looks peaceful. I can't sleep so I get off the couch that I was laying on, and walk over to the window on the train car. I stare out to see 3 hovercrafts with search lights on I tense at the sight, but then remember we hid the jeeps under fallen tree branches, so where probably safe. I see movement in the corner of my eye, I turn to see Johanna behind me, wide awake. "Oh, hi," I say. "Hi, stalker," she laughed. "How am I a stalker," I ask smiling. "You watched me sleep," she says. "How do you know that if you were asleep," I question her. "Maybe I wasn't," she says. I laugh lightly, and turn to back to the window, the hovercrafts are getting closer. When I look behind me again she's gone. Then I feel a hand on my other shoulder, I jump making Johanna laugh. I don't even know what's happening when I just start leaning toward her, and she starts leaning toward me our lips connect I kiss her, and she kisses back. We stop kissing when a light shines through the train window. The hovercrafts. I look into her eyes, and see no fear. "Don't move," I mutter. "Like I don't know that," she says annoyed. The light moves away, and we both let out a big sigh. We wait a minute for the hovercrafts to get a good mile away from us. We decide to try to find food. We found the kitchen compartment, and found some fresh strawberries, and chocolate bars, we also found some orange juice and champagne, so we made mimosas. We sat down and talked till three in the morning, before we decided to go to sleep, but finally Johanna was wrapped protectively in my arms, where I can keep her safe.
