Thank you for the reviews. I totally appreciate it. Here's the 3rd chapter.
Before she entered the room, she knocked the door but nobody answered. She walked slowly and pushed the door open and saw Peeta sleeping on his bed. His hands were behind his head, his right leg dangling on his left. He had a frown on his face. Silently, she walked closer and sat on the bed next to him. She raised her hand and her fingertips brushed his cheek lightly. Then she leaned closer to his face. He was beautiful. How come she never noticed that? The blonde hair which had the colour of a luxurious gold and his eyelashes were actually long and had the same golden colour. His lips were slightly parted and his breath smelt like cinnamon. To inhale more of the sweet scent, she leaned closer.
She accidentally bumped her forehead onto his and woke him up. He opened his eyes widely. Very quickly, he rolled and pinned her on the bed, his left hand choked her neck while his right was in fist, ready to hit her.
She was too shocked that she just laid there, not moving.
Before he hit her, he realized the person he was pinning down was Katniss. He released his grip around his neck, shaking.
"Sorry," he apologized with a heavy guilt in his voice.
"No, I'm sorry for scaring you," she said while she was massaging her neck, knowing that he was having a nightmare in the arena again.
Now they noticed that they were in a very awkward position: him on top of her. Peeta quickly pushed himself away and sat next to her.
She sat up, still massaging her neck, feeling how strong Peeta was.
The room was in a complete silence and the awkward feeling when he was pinning her down rushed into their minds like lightning.
"What were you doing here?" He began to break the silence that consumed the room for a few minutes.
"I was just checking if you were okay or not," she said, fidgeting her thumbs.
"Well, I'm fine. Thanks for the concern."
The silence returned right after he finished his sentence.
"Sorry for pinning you down just now," he apologized again, staring at the crumbled bed sheet.
"It's okay," she said, looking down, "actually, I can kinda like it when you pin me down like that."
He turned his head and looked at her, eyes opened wide.
"No! I didn't mean it like that!" She shouted. She felt her cheeks get hotter than ever. "It's just that... I like to feel your body pressed against mine."
That didn't help anything, it just made things worse till Peeta opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
She was too panicked that she couldn't find the right words to describe her feelings, "I mean... um..."
"Do you want to sleep with me again?" He guessed, remembering the night in the train when Katniss had her first nightmare which was also the first night he came to calm her down and slept with her.
"Yeah," she said, not thinking again, "to chase away the nightmares."
He chuckled and this was a good news for her because Peeta wasn't totally changed yet. The caring, gentle and sweet Peeta was still there.
"Okay they. I'll be in your room tonight," he said happily.
What did Katniss say? Hahaha. Sweet Peeta, I wish I was there. R&R please. Thank you.
