ENJOYYYY!
It had been two days since that day with Katniss. When we drop off the girls, she smiles at me and walks briskly to her car. But, now that's going to change.
"Katniss," She's squatted down in front of Willow, her eyes full of amusement at something she had said. She kisses her forehead lovingly and pats her head, telling her to run off.
She stands up. "Yes, Peeta?" she asks, smiling. I raise an eyebrow, silently asking what she is smiling at. She laughs and shakes her head, then clears her throat slightly.
"Your lovely daughter has been telling all her friends and students that you are the best daddy in the whole wide universe because your a baker and that's a woman's job," she mimics her voice. She laughs even harder now, practically bending over with tears in her eyes.
She collects herself, and stands up fully with a small smile on her face.
"Just thought you should know," she says, amused.
"Well, that's my daughter for you," I say.
"Daddy?" I turn my head to her direction from were it was cooking dinner.
"Me, Willow, and Ariel want to have a play-date!" she tells me, excitement evident on her face. She is currently brushing out the tangles from her barbie dolls hair, and dressing her in a hot pink dress.
I smile, "Do you now?" She nods and continues to tell me how it would be so fun.
"But, Ariel's parents said that we can't until she meets you, Daddy," I nod. I was about to say the same thing, although I saw who they were on Monday, I don't know everything about them.
"Well, when can I meet these parents?" I ask. She chews the rest of the food in her mouth before swallowing. She takes a generous sip of lemonade before answering.
"Tomorrow."
I walk over to the attached-hip couple. The man with sea-green eyes and bronze locks, and enchanting green-eyes. The woman in his arms has brown locks to her waist, with sea-green eyes, overall they are a beautiful couple.
I notice that Katniss is talking to them already, with a soft smile on her features. I walk up to them, and put out my hand for the man to shake.
"Hi, I'm Peeta Mellark. I'm Rosemary's father," I say. He smiles and nods.
"I'm Finnick, Ariel's father, and this is my wife, Annie." She smiles and shakes my hand.
Finnick and Annie look at Katniss and I, almost waiting for us to introduce each other. Katniss catches on.
"Oh, um we know each other already," she explains. I nod, agreeing.
They smile, "Great, so, I assume your children have explained this amazing get-together?" Finnick asks.
"Great, if you can, maybe we can all go to the park on saturday?" Annie asks, softly. When we nod, we all fall into a silence again.
Finnick laughs, his eyes looking in the direction of the girls, "Our daughters are one piece of work aren't they." We all turn and look at what he is talking about, and my eyes widen at what we see.
Our daughters and dancing around, yelling at the top of there lungs "BOY'S HAVE COOTIES," while three boys – their age – look at they wide-eyed, almost scared. I don't even want to ask what made them say that.
The morning of the 'play date', I get Rosemary up and ready. She insists on wearing a purple dress with brown leggings, with matching shoes.
"Daddy, don't embarrass me," Rosemary says while were in the car. I look at her flabbergasted.
"How can I embarrass you?" I question.
She shakes her head, "Your bread jokes, my baby stories, all of the above Daddy," she tells me.
I smile, "All have you know, everyone loves my bread jokes," I inform her. She shakes her head and doesn't comment further.
When we near the Odair's house, I can see her excitement. Once I put the car in park, she flies out and runs to the already open door. I take a quick scan of the drive way and notice that Katniss has already arrived.
"Hello," Annie says softly, as I approach the door. I smile back at her.
When we veer into the living room, I see Finnick and Katniss in a conversation. On the coffee table is two red solo cups, filled to the brim with liquid. I notice that there is three cups instead of two, but decide it's probably Annie's.
I sit down on the couch with a huff which makes Katniss comment on how I am getting old. I just smile and say, "I have been old ever since that young one was born," pointing at Rosemary.
Its then when I notice, that Annie hasn't touched the lone red solo cup. I am about ask whose it is, when I hear the voice.
"That's a nice bathroom you got there," a gruff voice says. I know that voice anywhere. I turn and I am met with the one and only Gale Hawthorne.
What is he doing here?
He sits down on the couch and puts his arm on the back, lightly grazing Katniss shoulder. She lifts her back off the couch at the contact, and glares at him. He lifts his hands up in defense.
So, we know their not comfortable.
But, what is Gale Hawthorne doing here.
UGH, YEAH this isn't strong, but next chapter will! sorry, I've just been incredibly busy!
