Katniss's POV.

I woke up to the shining sun that rose from the sky. I looked down and saw that Clove was still sleeping in my arms. I smiled at the sleeping form of Clove. Then she opened her eyes and focused her sights on me. She smiled at me. I smiled at her. Then she spoke.

"Good morning Everdeen." She said.

"Good morning Kentwell. Did you slept well?" I asked.

"Yeah. I slept okay. You?" She asked.

"Yeah. I slept okay too." I said. Then I found her on-top of me and she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her back. She bit on my bottom lip, begging for permission to enter. I parted my lips and our tongues fought for dominance. Then I slipped my hands under her shirt, touching her skin with my hands. She moaned at my touch. We parted and we looked at each other in the eye.

"You're so good at this District 12." She said. I smiled at her.

"Well, you're a pretty good kisser, District 2." I smirked. She smirked back at me. Then she kissed me and leaned into my ear.

"That's true. But there are other things that I'm good at." She whispered seductively.

"Like knives?" I asked.

"Yes knives, but something else." She said.

"And what is that?" I asked.

"Making you moan from the pleasure I'm going to give you." She said seductively. Then she began kissing and biting my neck. I closed my eyes and moaned in pleasure. Then I ran my fingers through her hair and gripped her hair tightly.

"Oh Clove..." I said. Then I flipped us over so that I was on-top of her. She smirked at me.

"Pretty feisty huh?" She asked. I smirked back at her. Then I pinned her hands down and raised them above her head and before she could protest I kissed her passionately. I could hear her moan under my lips. I smirked against her lips and we parted. Then I spoke.

"You may be good...but not as good as me." I said. My grip on her hands loosen and she held my face with both her hands and she brought my face closer to hers. She pressed her forehead against mine and we stayed like that for a moment. Then she kissed me. I kissed her back. We parted and looked at each other. Then she spoke.

"I love you Katniss Everdeen." She whispered. I smiled at her.

"I love you too Clove Kentwell." I said. We were silent for a moment. Then I heard her stomach growling. I smirked at her.

"Looks like someone's hungry." I said. She smirked back at me.

"I'm so hungry, I could eat a whole horse." She said. I chuckled at her words. "I bet you could." I said. Then I kissed her. She kissed me back. We parted and looked at each other in the eye.

"You wanna go get something to eat?" I asked her.

"Yes please, I'm starving." She said. Then I climbed off of her and held out my hand to her. She took it and we went to the bathroom to take a shower. When we were done, I put on my jacket and zipped it up. Clove put on her jacket and she zipped it up and looked at me. She smiled at me. I smiled at her.

"Come on. Let's go." I said. I held out my hand to her and she took it in hers. Then we walked out of the big house of Victor's Village and walked into the streets. As we were walking down the street, people were looking at us. Some smiled at us, but some glared at us. Then I turned to Clove. She was silent for a moment. Then I spoke.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that..." She sighed. "I don't think they like me here. Because of the fact I was a career." She said. I squeeze her hand, reassuringly and she looked at me. I smiled at her. "Don't worry about them. I don't care what they think. That was then and this is now." I said. She smiled at me. I smiled back at her. Then we continued walking down the street and made our way to the Hob. We went to Greasy Sae at the counter.

"Katniss. It's been a long time." She said.

"Yeah, it has. I've been busy and stuff." I said. Then I noticed her looking at Clove. She hid behind my back, refusing to look at her. I looked down at her and squeezed her hand reassuringly. She looked up at me.

"It's okay Clove. She's friendly." I said. She looked back at Greasy.

"Are you sure?" She asked. Greasy smiled at her.

"Yes Clove. I assure you." She said. Then Clove moved from my back and smiled at Greasy. She smiled back at Clove. Then she looked at me and spoke.

"So what can I get you Katniss?" She asked. "Some bread and crackers, please?" I asked.

"Sure." She said. She put them in two bags. Then she handed one to me and one to Clove. I gave her my money. She smiled at us.

"Have a good day Katniss." She said.

"You too Greasy." I said. She looked at Clove.

"Have a good day Clove." She smiled at her.

"You too ma'am." She said. Then we left the Hob and headed back to Victors Village. We went inside the big house and sat down on the couch. Then we began eating our food. Then she held out a cracker to me. I looked at the cracker and looked at Clove smiling at me.

"Would you like a cracker, Katniss?" She asked me sweetly. I smiled at her. Then I took the whole thing in my mouth and began eating it. I smiled at Clove. She smiled at me. Then that's when my mother came in.

"Katniss my dear, where were you?" She asked.

"It's okay mom, I was just getting me and Clove something to eat at the Hob." I told her.

"Oh well, okay then." She said. Then she looked at Clove.

"So...this is your friend?" She asked.

"Yeah. Her name is Clove Kentwell. I asked her if she wanted to move in with me and she accepted it. I hope you don't mind her staying here with us." I said.

"Oh no, it's okay. I don't mind. It would be nice to have her here." She said. She looked at Clove.

"It's nice to meet you Clove." She said. Clove smiled at her.

"It's nice to meet you too." She said. Then she went to the kitchen, cooking dinner. Then we finished our food and mother called us for dinner. Then we went to the kitchen and began eating our dinner.


Nightfall came and me and Clove were getting ready for bed. Then Clove got in the bed and I crawled into the bed and laid down next to her. She rested her head on my chest and I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close to me. I kissed her forehead. Then I spoke.

"Are you okay Clove?" I asked. She sighed.

"I'm fine." She said. I held her chin and made her look at me.

"You know you can tell me anything, right?" I said.

"I know."

"Then what's wrong?" I asked. She sighed and looked at me. "It's the games Katniss. Ever since the games happened I begin to wonder, what if another one happens?" She asked. I held her tight and kissed her on her lips. She kissed me back. We parted and looked at each other.

"Don't worry about the games, Clove. It's over. They can never hurt us again. Okay?" I said. She smiled at me.

"Okay." She said.

"Good." I said. Then I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. Then we parted and looked at each other.

"I love you Katniss." She said. I kissed her. She kissed me back. Then we parted.

"I love you too Clove." I said. She smiled at me. I smiled at her. Then we kissed and then she rested her head on my chest. I kissed her forehead and wrapped my arms around her.

"Goodnight Clove." I said.

"Goodnight Katniss." She said. Then later I looked down and saw that she fell asleep in my arms. I smiled at the sleeping form of Clove. She looks so adorable when she's asleep. Then I kissed her forehead.

"I love you Clove." I said. Then I stroked her hair and let sleep take me with her in my arms.
