This chapter isn't very long. BUT, it is veryimportant. And there is a little twist that I'm hoping none of you have seen coming. ;)
Enjoy.
My eyes woke me up. Or rather the contacts in them.
I roll out of Charming's bed and go to the bathroom. My eyes are itching-burning-scratching. After a small struggle I manage to remove the little demons. I look in the mirror. Everything is smudged but my lipstick. I look around the counter for some soap and a rag to wash my face and in my search I find...makeup wipes? I'm a bit confused but I brush it off, men use those to wash their faces sometimes...right?
Once my face is as clean as I can get it I walk back into the bedroom, there's a note on the bed.
'Dear Red,
I'm making breakfast. Join me beautiful?
Yours truly,
Charming.
My heart flutters. I mentally scold myself. I don't know this man. Sure he's sweet, funny, handsome, and incredibly...talented...
But I really don't know anything about him.
I look around for something to put on. I decide to just grab Charming's white button up that's laying by the bed. I figured he wouldn't really mind.
I hear my phone beeping.
Rue.
Oh God. I forgot to text her and tell her what happened last night.
I answer and my eardrums are promptly shattered. Rue goes on about how worried she's been. How she and Gale have been in hysterics. I tell her not to worry, that I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself. She asks where the hell I am and I tell her I'm not really sure. She flips out again. When I tell her that I met a man and ended up going to his place she squealed. And she begged for every detail.
During this whole conversation I slowly make my way towards the loud music coming from what I assume is the kitchen. I tell her how charming he is, how passionate he can be, how sweet he his, and how I'm not sure why...but he makes my heart flutter.
And then I stop dead in my tracks.
Rue is gushing about love at first sight. I don't hear any of it. My attention is on the pair of heels in front of me.
Not mine.
And the bra laying on the couch.
Also not mine.
I'm confused. Rue asks why I'm so quiet. I tell her I think I just became the other woman.
Rue and I hung up and I followed the music, Charming is standing in front of the stove with his back to me. My stomach is in knots. I've never had to confront a man about this...so I'm not really sure what to do.
So I just walk up and tap him on the shoulder.
And when he turns around I suddenly realize why those eyes are so familiar.
"...Peeta!?"
"...Katniss!?"
I just had the greatest sexual encounter of my life...with my best friend's brother.
Damn.

The next few moments were awkward to say the least.
He stuttered and blushed. I buried my head in my hands.
"This is why I don't drink. This is why I fucking stay home on the weekends." I sigh and Charming..erm..Peeta sits down across from me. He looks...really calm. Too calm...for someone who just fucked his little sisters best freind.
Oh and then he smiles again.
"Why are you smiling Peeta?"
"Because I'm happy Katniss."
"Why on earth would you be happy?"
He looked a little hurt at first, but in true Peeta fashion he let it roll off like water on a ducks back.
"Because, I met a girl." he gets up and sets his plate in the sink " And I really liked her." He paces the floor a little...something he does when he gets nervouse. "Then she let me bring her home and gave me the best night I could ask for." By now he is really worked up. "Then come to find out...unbeknown to me this amazing girl just so happens to be the girl that...that..."
And he stops.
And I stare.
"Peeta...that what?"
He sighs. "That I've kind of, sort of, been halfway in love with since highschool. That...that is why I'm happy Katniss."
Damn.
Once again. Sorry it's short...BUT! Did anyone see that coming? No? Yes? Ok...
