Chapter 5 - Attack
Chapter 5 of my Hayffie fic is published! The next chapter is a reunion and will finally entail some Hayffie smut for all ya hornballs. Least to say, I am thrilled. Enjoy this snippet in the meantime or read the whole chapter thru the link<3
Most days, when I have little to do and nowhere to be since I do not pick up shifts anywhere, I find myself in the food court. I like being in here with all the buzzing and talks from other people. It is not nice to be alone with my thoughts for too long, but ever since this morning when Katniss gave her marvelous performance in front of the cameras, I have not been able to stop thinking that we finally have leverage to get Effie and Peeta back. Katniss is holding her end of the deal, thus Coin has to as well. The thought of soon having Effie close to me again is enough to make my lungs feel like they are on fire. I think I might lose my mind the moment I get to feel her soft cheek against my stubbled, salt and peppered one again. If she was still alive. I had to believe that she was. The alternative was enough to make me want to end it all. I lift my gaze from my cup of water, and it falls on another lonely lifeform a few feet away. Finnick sits alone by his table, his head hung low, his food untouched. I think he might be the one, except for Katniss, other individual down here who feels what I am feeling right now. They got his girl too. Loony little Annie Cresta. I never did understand what he saw in that girl, but he probably knew her better than I ever did. I suppose the few people who know of mine and Effieās explosive love affair may think the same of me. Whatever did I ever see in a stuck up, know it all Capitol mannequin like her? Truth was, I did not know it myself all together. I just knew I had known her longer than anyone there, and I had spent years thinning and wondering what those pink lips would feel like wrapped around me, moaning my name, whispering my praises when I made her finish, and I always do.
