We went to the meadow. I sat down with my back pressed against a tree and Katniss sat in front of me between my legs. I wrapped my arm around her and we stayed like that for a while just enjoying each other's company. Katniss turned around in my arms and was now looking at me dead in the eyes "Why?" What is she talking about? "Huh?" she sighed "Why me Peeta? Why do you like me? I mean there has to be at least ten more girls waiting for you in district twelve…" I rolled my eyes and chuckled. She seriously has no idea the effect she can have.
She looked hurt "you're laughing at me?" in a second she was up and running. Oh no… "Kat! Stop!" she kept running. I ran towards her and lucky for me I was faster. I grabbed her wrist and spun her around so she was now facing me; her eyes were filled with tears. I pulled her into my chest and held her tight so she couldn't break from my grip, but she still put up a hell of a fight. "Katniss, I wasn't laughing at you I just find it so unbelievable that you have no idea the effect you have on people. You want to know why I chose you? I chose you because you're Katniss; it's as simple as that. You're the most incredible, amazing, caring, talented and gorgeous girl in the district. No, scratch that! In Panem, and yes maybe I could have other girls but the thing is my little kitty-Kat I don't want other girls all I want, all I will ever want is you". She stopped squirming and struggling & I was preparing myself for a comeback but she just pulled her arms out from my chest and wrapped them around my waist squeezing me tightly. I sat down and pulled her down with me.
She sat in my lap her arms now around my neck, her face still buried in my chest. I heard her mumble something. "What was that love?" she spoke just loud enough for me to make out what she was saying "I still think you would be better off with a merchant girl" I rolled my eyes "God Katniss you are so stubborn aren't you? You'll never be able to accept it will you?" she rolled her eyes mimicking me "God Peeta you've lost your mind if you thought I would just drop it" I smirked and leaned down to kiss her but she stopped me "I'm serious!" I sighed, she was making me frustrated. I stared at her lips for a second "So am I miss Everdeen, all I will ever need is you…and water of course" she giggled and this time she leaned up to kiss me. "Oh no you don't. It's payback time" I rolled away from her and started running. She followed me giggling, her giggle is just amazing but it's a very, very rare sound.
After having a tag war that lasted at least two hours we made our way back to the seam, my arm wrapped around her waist. "And then the bear took the honey and didn't even leave a scratch on me!" "What?" I can't help but laugh; you wouldn't believe the crazy things that have happened to Katniss in those woods. I stopped walking "Kitty-Kat" she looked up at me "yes?" I smiled, she no longer scolded at me for calling her that. "I need to ask you for a favor…" she nodded "well…I want to go to the woods with you" her eyes widened for a second "No" I growled "Whyyyy nooot?" she shook her head "Because Peeta first of all its extremely dangerous, second of all you couldn't walk quiet enough and third of all well just no!" "Katniss I swear-""Peeta I said no! Just drop it!" I'm not giving up that easily, but she didn't need to know that. I smiled at her "Okay sweetheart" she nodded as if announcing her victory. I chuckled and took her hand in mine.
The sun had not yet come out when I left the house. Today is Sunday which means that Katniss would be leaving to go hunting very soon. I have seen her come back at about 6:30 with her game so I needed to hurry up if I wanted to catch her before she went under the fence. As soon as I got to the seam I could see the sea of miners going to work. The all stared at me as if to ask what I was doing in the 'wrong' side of the district. I ignored them and kept walking towards the fence. Katniss was walking towards it too but she was looking down so she hadn't seen me until she looked up and I was standing in front of the hole she had to go under. She began to glare at me "Peeta what the hell?" "You wouldn't take me with you voluntarily so now I'll force you" "just move!" "Alright" and with that I began to go under the fence. "Peeta!" I ignored her and in two seconds I was on the other side. "You coming?".
She kept glaring at me as we walked towards the forest. My footsteps we're louder than hers but not extremely loud either you could just hear some of the leaves crunching, since it was fall. We walked for about ten minutes Katniss had already killed two rabbits. She opened her mouth to say something but quickly closed it when we heard footsteps coming from behind a bush in front of us. She quickly took out her bow and arrow and pointed it straight forward.
