The wedding party
Katniss closed her eyes a moment, to stop the spiral movement that saw around her. It seemed incredible that Prim, had just given the "Yes,I do" to Rory Hawthorne.
It was the wedding of her little sister and she was determined that whatever could happen Prim had a stunning party, although she has to be a different Katniss during the day, because the real Katniss abhorred everything that had to do with this kind of celebration , commitment and in particular "love things".
But being a single bridesmaid, and also the only sister of the bride, wouldn´t make things easier tonight for her.
If in itself, be no compromise was a claim for men during a wedding, she had to to add Prim's romantic superstition, that in her wedding night, Katniss would find the man of her life. All these factors were an indicator that the evening did not bode well.
Katniss was unable to hold back the tears when his uncle Haymitch accompanied her sister to the altar. Prim looked lovely in her silk dress that fell neatly over her body. Her face flushed with the joy of what is supposed to mark the point for the happiest days for the rest of her life.
Both, Rory and Prim, could not help but looked at each other eyes and stroke hands during the ceremony. It was obvious they were in love, and Katniss just wanted that dream of eternal love come true for her beloved sister.
If she and Rory did not make it real, it could not get real for anyone else, she thought.
When Prim asked her to say a few words during the ceremony, Katniss panicked. She was not good at talking and his sister knew it, but her speech meant a lot to her and, as always, Katniss could deny her nothing.
After much thought, she decided to surprise her by singing a song, an old lullaby that their father used to sing at night. And when their father died, she continued singing it every night for Prim, so at least her little sister could sleep without nightmares.
The truth is that she had loved it and that was the most important thing. But now Katniss hoped her sister had mercy on her and not get into too much trouble tonight.
However, just as soon as the waltz finished, she saw her and Delly towards her. toward her. Of course I couldn't be that lucky, she thought.
"Little duck, it seems that the dance lessons for Rory have served some purpose. You have been great" she told Prim sincerely trying to divert the subject of boys.
Little duck, was the affectionate nickname that Katniss called her, because when she was little her blouse pulled out of her skirt or pants in the back.
"Well, I'm glad you have not noticed that clumsy step on me two times... But he is adorable right? And speaking of adorable people, Delly and I want you to meet someone" said in an amused tone."He is my art teacher. You will love him Katniss, like of all us".
Katniss recalled that Prim had been taking painting classes as elective credits last year of college, and she had spoken of his teacher with true devotion but if she remembered correctly, and she does as Katniss has a great memory, her teacher was gay, so she stared at her sister confused.
She had no problem at all about meeting a sensitive, kind and considerate man according to Prim. Even, it was more appealing for Katniss spending a relaxing evening with no romantic expectations that trying to flirt with someone just because it was what was expected of her.
"The plan seems perfect Prim. You can come with him anytime. I'll be at the bar getting a glass of wine" said Katniss smiling"for the records, I have always believed that gay people have a special sensitivity"
"But, Katniss, Peeta is not ... "Delly said before Prim interrupted her quickly.
"Peeta ..." continued my sister "Peeta is an artist and is sensitive but in addition, he is special. Ok, We'll come back in a minute."
Prim grabbed Delly's arm as she walked to the opposite direction of the room.
"Prim, what are you doing?" Asked a shocked Delly Peeta is not gay, and now Katniss believes otherwise".
"Exactly, Delly. Do you think that my sister would have accepted to meet him, if not?" Prim said without knowing that Katniss was willing to do anything to please her tonight. "She's been threatening me for months about blind dates and meet new men. So maybe now, Peeta will have a chance with her. Believe me, if not, the only thing that he would take from my sister is a frown between the eyebrows. Delly really, I love her but I'm worried that she has no one more than me. She needs to open up to more people ... And if it is literally even better"
"Oh my God Primrose. I don't know if you are evil or genious!"
Delly started laughing out loud at the last comment of the bride. Although she might have expressed herself in a more delicate way, her friend had given precisely in point.
Katniss had not dated anyone, unless seriously, since she broke with Gale. And that was over ten years ago.
So when they found Peeta, no words were needed between them to agree that they had to keep the secret about that little misunderstanding.
