Fighters From District 2

Chapter 13

The Question still lingers in the air. I look at Cato. My eyes begin to tear up. I'm so Happy. By still so young. I'm so scared. What do I say? The words just slip out of my mouth "yes!" I say. I put my hands around his neck and bend down to kiss him. He grabs my back and stands up. The whole world is on mute. It's like we are the only people in the room. "Cato. I love you" I whisper to him when he lets me go

"I love your too" he says. I look into his eyes and Smile widely and kiss him again.

"How have you kept this a secret?" I ask

"It's hard. But I didn't want to ruin the surprise. Gabe knows. So did Riley" he says

"How did you convince my father?" I ask.

"I told him on the last day in 2 and he said he wouldn't of wanted you with anyone else" he tells me. I smile wider at him. And he smiles back. We sit down at the table and we both cut the Cake. The whole night is spent Celebrating. It gets really late into the night and Cato suggests getting some rest. He picks me up old style and carries me to our room he gets right into bed. And I stand there.

"What?" He asks. I walk over to him and lie next to him. He raps his arms around me and I him.

"Cato. Party for two?" I ask. His face lights up and I smile back at him.

It's now the morning last night was so exciting. I didn't want it too end. But we have the rest of the tour to continue with. I wake up with Cato's arms rapped around my body. We both sleep on the same side of the bed

"Morning soon to be Mr. Larker" I smile

"Good morning soon to be Mrs. Larker" he says. I smile. I bury my head in his chest. I just noticed that he doesn't have a shirt on. Maybe he didn't want one on. But I have a grey tank top on and some sleeping shorts on. I don't much from last night. I'm not sure why. I didn't drink. I'm sure of that. Maybe my memory is just hazy. I look up to Cato and he smiles at me. Then kisses my forehead. "I'm going to shower" he says. He gets up and pulls some trousers on. I smile to myself. The curtains are closed so I can walk across the room to get a dressing gown. I pull the short fluffed sleeves over my arms and tie the rope up. I mess around with my hair for a bit. I don't know what to do with myself. Do I feel happy? I think so. Cato walks out of the bathroom and slaps on a shirt. "Have they not come yet?" He asks. Does he mean my stylist. I think so

"No" I reply

"Well your face looks a lot better" he says. I smile like I'm embarrassed.

"Are we going to tell Panem about our engagement?" I ask. He looks happy and smiles

"I still Can't believe you said yes. And no. Not yet anyway. We need to wait till we are out of the spotlight. Next years victors?" He asks

"Okay. What did you think I would say?" I ask. I smile embarrassedly as cato sits on the end of the bed.

"I thought you would..run away from me. Or say no. Because you weren't ready. But it felt like the right time" he says. I look at him. He means it. His deep blue eyes are sparkling with innocence.

"Now why, Cato Larker. Would I say that?" I say. I walk over to him and sit on his lap and rap my arms around his neck.

"Because you, Clove Sevina. Are too beautiful and talented for me. I so lucky I have you" he says. He puts one arm on my back and the other on my leg. He smiles at me

"No. If anything your too good for me. I mean 18year old, victor. Beautiful blonde hair and stunning blue eyes" I say. He smiles "We are lucky we have each other" I say. I lean in to plant a kiss on his lips but then
