Thank you so much for reviewing. LOVE ALL OF YOU! I'm one of those lazy authors that just don't like long chapters so i hope you don't get mad because this one is really short.
DISCLAIMER: UHHH... I DON'T OWN THE HUNGER GAMES :( WAAAAAA!
Well anyways, heres chapter 4!
It's been one week since gale and I have had some time apart from each other and I'm grateful for that. Me and Peeta have been spending a lot more time together. But, for once with peeta back, I can finally relax. I can finally have a full-hearted laugh, without it being forced. Me and peeta do a lot of things that we wouldn't normally do for fun, but, for the sake of our families. Like peeta, took a break from working at bakery's and he said that he would just relax a couple weeks. I don't have to go hunting anymore, to escape my problems or to feed my family. For once, in my life, I can just lay back and relax.
Right now, me and peeta are outside on my porch, just talking about different kinds of topics. He told me that after they let him get out of district 13, he went to district 7, because they needed a baker there, and peeta thought he would heal a whole lot better not being around so much of his family's memories. He said that there, he met Johanna mason, which he already knew who she was, but that she was different than what he had seen her before. She was… what was that he told me? Depressed. She was depressed and alone, he would often times catch her sitting on her porch, drowning herself in a cigarette or a bottle of liquor. He also had found out that she had 2 tattoo's. one on her ankle and one on her forearm. By the way he was saying these things, he seemed scared of her.
I wouldn't blame him. She is kind of scary.
"So, did you ever talk to her?" I ask peeta.
"Nope. Whenever I tried getting close, it looked like she would slap me, right away." He told me. I laughed at this. Maybe he was right.
"So, I know you are or were, engaged to gale, but, is that it? He told you that you both needed some time apart?" Peeta asks me out of the blue.
"Yeah, I guess, you coming back really affected him." I reply.
"I really didn't mean to provoke him, it's just I wanted to see how district 12 was doing. And I wanted to see you."
I looked down. Of course, just like me, he never stopped thinking about me. I was stuck in his head, like he was always stuck in mine. Not, one moment I would spend without thinking about him.
"Can I see your tattoo?" I ask him.
He lifts his shirt sleeve and reveals his tattoo. Only, peeta would do something like that. No wonder prim thought of him so well. He always knew what to do to make someone happy.
"I still can't believe you did that. What you did… is just… is just amazing." I tell him. He only smiles in return. I look up at him. He's changed so much, yet, his gentleness and selfless personality traits have not changed at all. No, wonder gale had told me he was hard to hate, because he's just a loveable person.
"You're amazing." He tells me.
"No. no, I'm not. I don't see why you think I'm even close to amazing." I tell him.
"That's where you're wrong. You're beautiful, amazing, intelligent and I'm just so, lucky to actually know you and have you with me." He tells me.
How can he think that? I'm nothing close to what he just described me as! I don't deserve this man at all! Yet, even know him.
"No, you're the perfect one. You don't have any flaws at all." I tell him.
"I'm nothing compared to you" He replies.
"You're much more, compared to me. I'm useless."
"There's one thing you're not useless at."
"What's that?" I ask him.
He leans in and kisses me on the mouth. My lips react immediately and start to move with his mouth. His mouth is gentle and carefree against my mouth, yet, it's full with passion and full-hearted love. I dig my fingers into his hair and he cups my face with both of his hands. There is no way to describe the way I'm feeling right now. It's a beautiful happy feeling, but, you want more and more. At some point, I'm in his lap and he's hugging my waist and kissing me. We pull back - well he pulled back, and we both are panting for air. Then he puts his forehead on mine and we stay like that for a while.
Finally he says, "You know I love you, right?"
"Yes." I say. "Will you stay with me?" I ask.
"Always."
I want to know if you liked it, hated it, Review please, tell me! Love ya'll.
