The little four note tune wakes me from my sleep and even thought it's Gale, I groan and suppress the urge to throw my phone against the wall.
There is one thing everyone knows about me: Katniss Everdeen is not a morning person kinda girl. No seventeen year old girl is on a Saturday.
I slide the screen and read the text.
Happy birthday Catnip. Love you.
Correction: No eighteen year old girl wants to wake up twenty minutes before her alarm goes off.
I quickly type a reply.
Thanks, Rebel. Love you too.
I drag myself to the small bathroom to pee and splash some water on my face. I hear my phone pop and I count. 1...2...3...4...5...6. Done all my friends are now dead to me.
I slide the screen and prepare for the messages.
Madge: Happy Bday. Xoxox
Peeta: Don't kill me, I made you cheese buns...but Happy Birthday.
Annie: This was Rebel's idea. Kill him. Love you baby. Happy 18th.
Finnick: Morning sex kitten. Knock him out cold. Love you birthday girl.
Cato: Happy birthday Kat. Plan Gale's death not mine.
Johanna: Come on Brainless, it's funny. We all love you, so get over it. Serious stop pouting.
I roll my eyes and mass reply.
You're all going to get an arrow to the eye, neck, or heart. Pick your spot now. I need coffee. Love you.
I send a special one just to Gale.
Forget everything I said. I hate you. Your death is going to be slow and painful torture.
I smile and pick out my outfit for the morning. I decide on a black tee with cherry blossom flowers on it and my favorite black leggings with my hunting boots. I braid my hair into my usual braid and head down stairs.
I come into the kitchen and that's when I smell them, Peeta's cheese buns. "Morning mom."
"Happy birthday Kat. Peeta brought these by for you." She smiles.
"When?" I ask before taking a big bite. I almost moan because these buns are so good. Madge is one lucky girl.
She laughs, "About twenty minutes ago. He had Madge with him bit they had to do something important so they couldn't stay.
"Yeah like running and hiding." I say under my breath but my mom hears me and laughs.
"Why would they do that. Did you threaten them again?"
I try to act shocked but she doesn't buy my act at all. "No I would never...yes...but they all deserve it."
"Let me guess 'Everybody text Katniss twenty minutes before her alarm goes off and piss her off' day again?" Prim says from behind me. "You know it was Gale's idea, right?"
"I do, but that didn't mean they had to all do it." I try to sound mad and I know that no one believes that I am.
Prim walks over and gives me a hug. "You only turn eighteen once Kat."
"Four more years for you, little duck." I can't honestly get away with calling her this much longer seeing as Prim is almost as tall as I am.
My phone buzzes and I groan when I see the message is from Gale.
Hope you're enjoying Peeta's buns, I'm trying not to be jealous. Be here in 15 so kick him out the back door. Love you. Rebel.
I laugh and hand the phone to Prim who just shakes her head.
I sit on the porch with a tumbler of coffee and wait for Gale. Like clockwork he pulls up and I have to pick my jaw off the floor. Gale's got on tight black jeans, combat boots, and a Kelly green tee shirt.
"Hey Rebel. You look hot." I rise up on my tiptoes and wrap my arms around his neck and lace my fingers through his hair. "I love your hair like this."
Gale started growing his hair out two years ago, now he wears it straight and it falls to the nape of his neck. I kiss him hard and my nails dig into his scalp.
"God Kat, don't tempt me to..." He cuts off his words with another searing kiss and his nails dig into my hips. "Oh you have to wait and see. Get in the truck, we gotta go."
I get in and he closes the door and walks quickly to the drivers seat and starts the truck. "So what's our pick up orders Hawthorne?"
"Jo's with Cato, Finn's with Annie,Peeta and Madge are at the bakery." He smiles and pulls off. "But I wanna make out some more before I pick up the gang."
"Sounds good to me, so the slag heap, our spot in the woods, or the cabin? The field's too far out." I unbuckle and slide over so I can rest my head on his shoulder.
"My office at my mom's mat? I love you like that, bent over the desk." He almost growls and I smile.
"Come on Rebel, let's go stage an uprising." He shifts a hand from the wheel and wraps it around my waist. "Eyes on the road."
"I don't need my eyes to get you off Mockingjay," I cuss under my breath and Gale snickers. "And you don't need a skirt."
We pull into the ally and Gale kills the engine. "We could just do it here."
"Kat I'm not the kind of guy who pulls a beautiful woman into a dark ally so I can have my way with her."
"Oh well, guess I have to settle for a mohogany desk." I say with mock sadness.
We make our way to Gale's office and as soon as we our both inside and the door is locked I find myself press hard against it. Gale pinning my hands above my head and his lips are hard against mine demanding and hungry.
His breath is hot against my skin and I moan when his tongue runs along the shell of my ear. "God Katniss, I can't wait for tonight. I've been waiting for this weekend of so long."
My shirt comes off and I see the smile come to his face. "I love your breasts Kat," He gives them a firm squeeze and I moan. "They're perfect for my hands. You're perfect."
I roll my eyes and Gale gives me a look that makes me almost scared of him, not because I think he will hurt me but because this is Gale's 'I'm dead serious' face.
"Katniss," My name is firm but not cold. "You are most amazing, sexy as hell, makes every other guy jealous but for some reason stays with me, hunter's dream girl...and I love you."
"I'm sorry." I pout and he smiles.
He says nothing, he just pulls my leggings down taking my panties with them.
"Hey this isn't fair. I'm naked and you're full dressed."
I see the devilish smile come to his lips and I swallow hard. "Oh it's so fair for me Kat. I get to see my girlfriend naked and eat her out for breakfast."
"So you're not going to..." I stop talking when his trigger finger slides in and starts exploring my folds.
"I'm talking a page from Finnick's sex manual." He says with a smile.
"What? Finn had a sex manual?" I don't know why I'm shocked but still.
"No but he thinks he can write one, but that not the point the point is..." He adds his middle finger and keeps the tempo slow and steady. "It's your birthday and I want this to be all about you."
My fingers locking around the coat hooks that just happens to be the perfect height for this, Gale still insists that it's just coincidence.
He slides his fingers out and slips them into his mouth sucking them clean. "Hmm...you taste amazing. I want more Kat."
I hold out my hands and help him up. I know he doesn't need my help but this is what we do, give and take.
He takes my hands and starts walking backward toward the desk, when his back hits it he pulls me flush against him and locks his hands to my hips.
He turns us and reverses our position before lifting me up and sitting me on the mahogany finished desk.
He returns to floor and places his hands on my knees. "Open up to me Katniss. Let me have a taste of my Heaven on Earth."
I roll my eyes and laugh. "Getting pickup lines from Lover Boy again Rebel?"
I moan when his tongue slowly runs along my folds and I know that the time for jokes is over.
His tongue moves in slow circles, lapping at my juices in the same way Buttercup laps at her milk. "Jesus...fuck...Gale."
"Manners Ms. Everdeen." He laughs and I shoot him the dirtiest look I can. "God your sexy when you're pissed Kat."
"I hate you." He smiles and pushes fingers in and curls them upward hitting the spot the makes my hips buck off the desk.
"Still hate me?" His voice is heavy with lust and I moan and he curls them again.
"Yes!" The word is a growl and I almost lose it the and there but I know Gale's not going to let that happen.
He leans over me and kisses me and I can feel my lips bruise almost instantly from the intensity of his assault.
Our lips remain locked and our tongues duel as his fingers pump in and out at an increasing tempo.
"I can feel you, so close, aren't you Cat...nip?"
He pulls his fingers out as he drops to his knees between my open legs, which I drape over his shoulders while his hands cup under my ass.
His mouth sucks, licks, and nips. His hands squeeze at my ass and I have to grab the desk to stop myself from thrashing.
"God Rebel...I love...fuck...please." I can feel his smile against my skin and he curls his tongue and I have to cover my mouth to stop the screaming as my orgasm hits me.
Gale licks and sucks until every drop is cleaned out of me and feel my legs start to shake as the waves of aftershock hit me.
"Fuck Katniss..." He licks the corner of his mouth and I laugh cause that's Finn's signature move.
He helps me sit up and I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him deeply. I love the way Gale's mouth tastes after he's give me oral.
"I love you too. I just hope no one heard us. Hazelle would kill us." We both laugh and I slide off the desk and quickly get dressed.
"Let's get this party started." Gale says as he grabs his keys and we head out to round up the gang.
