Peeta's POV:
Chapter 1: I Comfort Her to Sleep
I am with Katniss Everdeen, holding hands, doing nothing but smiling at each other. Her face has a beautiful glow and she looks as beautiful as ever. But the scene changes. We are in the meadow. We are laughing, smiling, happy as we'll ever be. Then- I woke up. It was only a dream.
I was awoken by an uncontrollable Katniss, who is thrashing, crying. I try to wake her up but she is still uncontrollable. I start shaking her shoulders and calling her name. And after a few minutes she wakes up. I scope her into my arms and soothe her with calming sounds.
"Another nightmare?"I ask. She nods. "What is it about?" that's when she starts crying. I then wipe her tears away with my thumb. And after a few seconds she hugs me and whispers, "I-miss-my-Prim-my-little-innocent-sister-"in between sobs.
"Its okay, Katniss. She's in a safer and better place now"
"I know, Peeta. I just miss my sister." and she buries her face on my shirt
I stroke her hair and said, "I am here for you, Katniss" then I hug her tighter, "I will always be at your side. Promise."
She seems to brighten up and stop crying. "Thank you, Peeta, for being here for me, comforting me. I owe you a lot."
I think I blushed at that part, and then smiled. "You don't owe me anything, Katniss. And you don't need to thank me. I will always help you and be at your side." then I kissed her forehead then her lips.
Katniss is good at kissing. Her lips are so soft you would always be tempted to kiss her more and longer. I remember our second time to be put in the arena, where she kissed me passionately. Since I was young, I always dreamed of her being with me in the future and we will start a family. Now, all of that are becoming true.
I love this girl,I thought, She is my girl on fire.
I put my arms around her waist and she locks her arms around my neck.
When she breaks away she whispers. "I love you, Peeta"
I smiled and whispered back, "I love you too, Katniss" and kissed her forehead again. "Ok Katniss, sleep now." I manage to say. And she does. I then wrap my arms around her while she falls back to sleep.
