Hey guys, another chapter! But it's not a long one, I had problems writing this one, so I'm sorry already. I'' didn't reread it either, I usually do to fix any spelling or arranging stuff and the likes, but this time I didn't get to do it, because I just wanted to finish it. I know it's horrible, but I didn't know what else to do! I'm going to upload another chapter on this weekend, I will get to write more on Friday (I don't have lessons on Fridays.) or during the week if I can, my classes start tomorrow… Once again, thank you so much for the reviews, follows, and favorites.
I don't own the Hunger Games.
Shout-out:
mattiboi: Here's another chapter and the answer to who it was \o/
jmcarthy: XD Thank you! I hope it's a bit of surprise.
pumpkinking5: Yes, Peeta will want to take slow for a while, he falls very easily, but he still has some issues. As for Cato, I think it's because he is very innocent in certain ways, he just goes with it, he wants Peeta and he will do whatever it takes to keep him, which reminds a lot of Gloss' character. Yeah okay, I think I wrote too much…
Chapter 7
"And here I thought I would be doing the surprise."
The person just stood there, waiting for us to react, but we could only stare at the stranger on the stairs.
"Don't mind me! God knows, I love some gay action for dinner." I could feel my cheeks burning. "Aww, he's embarrassed, I like him. Keep it."
Turning to Peeta, my head full of questions, I get surprised by the look of relief on his face.
"I can cuff him, so he doesn't run away. Do you want me to cuff him? I bet you want to cuff him yourself." A pause ensues, shock preventing me to even blush. "Let's cuff him!" The figures pounces me.
Peeta quickly yells. "Johanna!"
"Fine." Johanna throws her arms in the air. "Can't have any fun in here." She takes her helmet off and I see black, shoulder length hair with random red highlights and a smirk so sharp, if it aimed at anyone in particular, would definitely cut. Continuing her advance, now towards the couch, Johanna sat down next to Peeta. "Who's the new toy boy?'
"He's not a toy boy, he's…"
I see him looking at me, his beautiful eyes searching for an answer in mine and I would give him. "Your boyfriend." A smile, a kiss and a head on my shoulder was his response.
Johanna makes a disgust face. "Okay stop it, it's too sweet for this hour. I hope this mean lipstick is finally out of here."
Peeta must have seen how confused I was, because he answers me before answering Johanna. "She's talking about Gloss, and yes, he doesn't come in anymore, we actually thought you were him."
A loud gasp comes out of her, comically clutching her chest and feigning hurt. "Oh Peet, how could you?" But then she changed to a knowing look with raised eyebrows. "By the way, nice jeans."
He narrows his eyes to her. "Thanks…" Was it really that weird to see him with jeans? Did he over dressed for me? That is so cute. "Now that we were interrupted, it would be a good idea to go downstairs."
"Why?" I don't want to go, I want to spend more time with you. "Johanna just came to say hi, right?"
"Yeah, but now I want to watch." Damn it, she seems so pleased with herself, I can just imagine her laughing in her head.
Peeta stands up and pulls me up. Begrudgingly I get my ass off the couch. "Come on, Cato, it's not what you think, it's your surprise." This makes me instantly happy. "And, since you're here, you can come too, Johanna." What?
"Oo, surprise? And I can come too? I always knew you're kinky, and in the kitchen nonetheless, I love it. Let's do this." She jumped off from where she sat.
"Oh god, it's just something Cato said when we first met, nothing much." Peeta starts leading us to the kitchen.
"YOU ASKED THIS TO PEETA AND HE ACCEPTED?!" Her face glowed just like a kid on Christmas morning. "Best. Night. Ever. I am so glad I came to visit you." Reaching the table, she sits on it and makes a strange pose. "How are we going to do this?"
Now I was getting so embarrassed, I have no idea what Peeta was talking about, Johanna was probably misunderstanding everything, but I would want to do kinky stuff with Peeta, especially if he wanted to. I may be starting to think Joanna was right.
Glancing at him, getting more and more confused by my own overthinking, I wait for some clarification. "You two! Stop imagining things! And get off my table." He reaches for the fridge.
"But it's so good he-" She stops when Peeta places a chocolate cake near her. The cake was beautiful, it must be delicious too, but there was one flaw. There was a hole in it, like someone took a piece with its finger. "Oh…" Peeta sighs and rests his head on one of his hands. "In my defense, it looked delicious. Which is. Thank you very much."
"I'm sorry Cato, it wasn't much of a surprise."
Now I remember, I told him I liked cake. Oh man, I can't believe, it was such a random thing to say and it has been a wonderful day. We cuddled, kissed and now, we are together. Pulling him close, I kiss his cheeks, his nose, his lips, his everywhere, until he started laughing and looked straight at me. "Let's grab some plates and eat."
"Yeah, 'cause cake is fine for this hour."
Just like the visitor said, the cake was delicious. It had chocolate on top and in the middle of it, reminding me of Peeta's lips… "You made this cake today in the morning?"
"Yes."
He was blushing, the mood finally stable, ever since Johanna came. "Thank you." I give him a big sloppy kiss, his face now full of chocolate.
"Damn you, now I'm all dirty." He says, but then kisses my cheeks. This was a challenge, we started sloppy kissing each other and by the end of it we had chocolate all over our faces and couldn't stop laughing. We stopped only when we saw Johanna, with a blank face.
"Love is weird." She gets another piece of cake and continues. "Now, to something more serious. Who are you?"
"I'm Cato." Before I continue, a chunk of cake is shoved in my mouth.
"He's studying with you." He gives me one more kiss on the cheek, while I am trying to down the cake he shoved in me. "Johanna is your upperclassman and prefect."
After finally swallowing it I return to the conversation. "Prefect?"
"It's just a thing they do. There's always 2, a girl and a boy, right now it's me and Lipstick. It's really boring, but I would never let both twins have it, and I get the first week free."
Peeta adds more. "She's supposed to take care of you, but with so few students, it's not that much problem. It's been a few years that it goes to the best fighter. Cashmere really wanted it."
"They are narcissistic littles bitches, that's their problem. I wanted Finnick to get it, obviously, it didn't happen, but then Peeta broke up with the cosmetic brother, so it evened it out."
"I didn't break up with him because of it."
"Doesn't matter, made me happy."
"They really dislike you, you know that right?"
"Peet… They hate me. Let them."
Wow, Peeta really knew a lot, maybe I should have read more about the school like Clove said. "Was it really that important? The prefect thing."
Johanna starts to laugh of my question. "Haven't you met them? They think they are the galaxy's cock, they want things and they get them. I didn't let little Cotton have what she wanted. It's the same as breaking some physics law. Which reminds me, do they know about you two?"
I get what she's saying, I only met Gloss the day before yesterday and I already don't like him and from what the girls told me, Cashmere, who I think is 'Cotton', isn't any better. "No, we only met on Friday and this is our first date." I turn where Peeta is, but I see nothing, checking around, I find him washing his face.
"Oh god, no wonder you're all lovey-dovey. I'd love to see Lipstick's face when he hears of it, it's gonna be a blast, but…maybe you shouldn't. At least for now, did he come here after you Peet?"
He dries his face and brings a wet towel with him. "Yes, but it's alright, Finnick was here and I didn't let him pass the counter." I thought he would give me, but he actually starts wiping my face.
"And you tell him to fuck off if he tries. I don't get why you let he even enter the bakery. Don't let him come here when you're alone." Now my face was all clean.
"I'm not some weak, defenseless animal, I can ta-"
She raises her finger to Peeta and her face becomes stone-like, when she cuts Peeta off. "I'm serious."
"Ok, I won't. I promise."
Even if he did agree with Johanna, who I also agreed with, his head was down and a sad pout on his lips forming. I embrace him in a deep hug. "I won't leave you alone, ever." I kiss his forehead and he returns the hug.
It takes a while, but we get to talk like before, Johanna helped too. I think she realized she was a bit forceful. We chat about how we met and what we did, both today and yesterday. By the end of it, it was time to get back and Peeta was back to normal. Finnick wasn't here, but Johanna said she was going to give me a ride, I just had to wait for her a little. From the outside I see them talking, then having an argument, but before I could go in there and see what the problem was, they hug and it seems like everything is alright.
"I know you both like each other a lot, but you better not disappoint him." Johanna ends the night with that.
The ride was quiet and dark, my head going round and round, thinking of Peeta. I would never disappoint him, I don't want to make him sad. I will make sure to make him happy. What happened, to get Johanna to argue with him, to make him pout, to make her and Finnick so protective of him from Gloss?
Getting to my room and seeing the lights on with the girls and the boys who started with me was a curse lifter. I could talk to them about other things and try to organize my thoughts better.
