《Clato》chapter eleven
Advertisement
Cato was tired from running around at different stations.
Clove waited next to Candice for Cato to join them.
Cato joined them, sighing.
Clove wanted to give Cato a hug but stopped herself. She followed Candice as they were escorted back.
Cato had forgotten about being a secret and snaked his arm round Clove's waist.
Clove's eyes bulged. She jumped out of his grasp and looked at him, showing her alarm.
Cato looked hurt, his eyes lowered.
"Sorry babe," Clove whispered into Cato's ear. "I don't want anyone finding out about us and using that as a weapon against us."
Cato stood to the far end.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Clove went straight inside to the main room.
"Dinner is in five." Candice informed them before heading back down.
Cato walked with her quietly. "We have interviews soon."
"What will we do?"
"I dunno, I'm just gonna answer his questions." Cato said matter of factly.
"What if he asks if you have a girlfriend?" Clove asked.
"Glimmer.." He murmured quietly.
* * *
"Glimmer?!" Clove was shocked that he'd even suggest her. "It's your dignity on the line."
Cato screwed his nose up. "Well it steers the cameras away from us."
"True," Clove paused "as long as you can live with her tagging along behind you every second of The Games, kissing you and calling you her boyfriend."
Cato sighed, "I'm not gonna kiss her,"
"She'll be kissing you. She hugged you as a greeting, what do you think she'll treat her 'boyfriend' like?" Clove looked into Cato's eyes. "But if you think it'll work, thank you." she gave him a faint smile.
Cato looked Clove in the eye. "I don't know what to do, Clove."

"Neither do I, babe." Clove hugged Cato and buried her face into his chest to stop herself from crying. "I'm so sorry I took the tesserae. I really am. I'm such an idiot." Clove couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Cato held her to him close, "It's okay beautiful."
Clove just let herself sob in the safety of his arms.
Cato rubbed her back gently, his chin resting on top of her head.
"Dinner!" They heard Candice's voice coming from the elevator.
Cato sighed. "Coming down for tea?"
Clove looked up with tear filled eyes. "Like this?" She giggled.

"Just say.. You fell over or something." Cato chuckled.
"Great entrance for a career don't you think? 'I fell over! Oh now I'm balling my eyes out!' I think I'll stay up here babe, you can go down." She gave him a reassuring smile.
"Hmmm.." Cato sighed. "Okay, see you in a little bit." He told her.
"Goodbye babe." She kissed him and went to the snack table they had on their floor.
"Goodbye Clove," He answered and went out to the dining area.
Clove read the menu. All of it. Nothing caught her eye until she saw the deserts.
"Ice cream." Clove whispered into the mouthpiece. A beautiful ice cream cone appeared in front of her.
Perfect.
Cato enjoyed dinner with the two mentors and Candice.
Clove soon finished that cone. She ordered another.
Cato finished up and went to Clove's room. He knocked on the door gently.
"Come in!" Clove replied, not bothering to hide her five serving dishes with the remnants of ice cream on them or her current cone.

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'

But is this power and technology really for him to keep? If you are enjoying my novel, this is a link for my new novel : Magical Cosmic --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a Science Fantasy story where technology will eventually change the civilization. A lot of Kingdom Building will be here as it will be. Despite the Kingdom Building, the MC won't be sitting in one place only. Although there is Comedy and Romance here and there, it wasn't the main focus of the story. The Harem tag in the story didn't mean a lot of bland 2D girl as even the first female MC was shown at chapter 21. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. The cover is only temporary
