Cat Lady

Maybe

"Hey sweetheart," Haymitch calls from behind me. I turn around and raise my eyebrows. "I heard you went on a date last night,"

"It wasn't a date. Peeta and I were just... Catching up." I tell him.

"That's not what Peeta seems to think." says Haymitch.

"He held my cat hostage." I tell him. "I had to agree."

"I thought you hated that cat." says Haymitch.

"Not Buttercup!" I snap. "I found this kitten. Out by the Seam. She was hurt so I had to help her."

"You know, I heard there was a little girl, who lost her cat, a while back," says Haymitch. "Is your cat white?"

"Yes..." I trail off. "But she's mine."

"Maybe she was someone else's cat before." says Haymitch. "Maybe that little girl is missing her cat."

"But... Blizzard is all I really care about..." I say. "If I didn't have her, I would-"

"Calm down, Sweetheart." says Haymitch. "I was just messing with you. There is no little girl, or anyone looking for that cat."

"You... you can't say those things to me!" I shout.

"It was you're lover's idea." says Haymitch.

"My lover's?" I ask. After a moment, I realize he is talking about Peeta. "Got to go, Haymitch." I sprint all the way to Peeta's house, and start pounding on his door. When the door finally opens, I come into his house. "Peeta, you're in big trouble-" I start, but stop when I see my cat in Peeta's arms. "Why do you have Blizzard?"

"She was scratching at my front door." says Peeta. "Wait, why am I in trouble?"

"Can I have Blizzard first?" I ask. Peeta puts her in my arms and Blizzard starts purring. "I was talking to Haymitch earlier today."

"Oh?" Peeta asks. "And what does that have to do with me?"

"He told me some little girl was looking for my cat!" I say. "And then, after I had a panic attack, he told me he was just kidding, and this was you're idea!"

"I didn't say he should've done that," says Peeta.

I sigh. "I'm sorry Peeta, I shouldn't have believed him."

"I did say it would be funny if someone did though." says Peeta.

"So this really was you're idea?" I ask, pulling Blizzard closer to my chest. "Why would you think it was funny?"

"Calm down, Katniss." says Peeta. "If you're going to be mad at anyone, you should be mad at Haymitch.

"Sorry," I say. "I wonder why Blizzard was scratching at your door. Poor thing probably got lost and thought it was my house."

"Maybe she wanted you to see me." says Peeta.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Maybe Blizzard is trying to set us up." says Peeta.

"Maybe," I say.

"I think I'm a cat lady now," says Peeta suddenly.

I laugh. "A cat 'lady'?"

"Or... cat gentleman... I guess." says Peeta.

"Well, maybe now you'll stop teasing me about my cat."

"Maybe," says Peeta.

This might be the last 'Cat Lady' story I write. If you like them and want me to write another, write a good idea in the reviews and I'll write it. Thank you for reading this one shot, what did you think of it?
