The kiss jolted Peeta. One minute he was standing there depressed, the next the girl of his dreams is kissing him. Finally he relaxed and intensified the kiss. His arms steadly moved to form a barrier around her as he drew her inside. He shut the door swiftly with his foot and broke free of the kiss. "Wow, I .. I don't know what to say?" He looked at Katniss and pushed a strand of hair away from her face.

Katniss wasn't smiling, she was crying and gasping for air. Peeta, as if slapped in the face, stared blankly at the sight. Her body was shaking and finally she threw her arms backed around him and held on for dear life.

"Peeta, I'm scared.. this.. this horrific pain keeps shooting into my heart everytime we have to kiss in front of the camera's. Im done faking this star crossed lovers. I-" Peeta put his finger to her lips and lead her to the couch to sit.

"It's ok. We just need to pretend for a little bit longer, well for the rest of our lives. It's ok" Peeta was beyond hurt, but he just needed to try and cheer her up.

"It's not that Peeta!" Katniss stood up pacing now. Peeta looked confused. "The thing that's killing me is that I actually have fallen in love with you!" The words came so fast out of her mouth that Peeta did the one thing that felt real. To kiss her. He grabbed her and pulled her on top of him on the couch and began the kiss passionately. Tears were now streaming down her face but she was smiling. He could feel the corners of her mouth move upward everytime he kissed her soft lips.

"I love you Katniss Everdeen. Forever." Peeta whispered in her ear between a kiss and slowly lowered her next to him. She smiled and put her untidy hair back in a braid and gently layed her head on his chest.

"Do you want to sleep over? Just in case the nightmares come?" Peeta bit his lip, he just wanted to be in this moment for as long as possible before it slips away again.

"The nightmares won't come tonight because I finally know… I love you Peeta Mellark. And of course I'll stay with you tonight." She laughs a little. "I have one condition though." She smirks and glances up in his blue eyes.

"And what is that?" Peeta says smiling back at her.

"You have to make the nut and raisin bread for breakfast tomorrow." Katniss lets out a little laugh.

"Of course, anything to keep you here with me forever." As Peeta finishes his last words he can hear her snoring ever so slightly. As a whisper, Peeta stares down at here, "Goodnight Katniss. The odds were in our favor after all."
