I Just want to say how much each and every one of the reviews have made me smile! Every review, favorites, and alerts make my day!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!
So without further ado…. Enjoy!
(Chapter 7)
"Cinna!" I exclaim when I see him.
"It's been too long Katniss!" he tells me with a hug. I've missed him so much.
"Yes it has been. I don't know how I've made it this long" I look over at Peeta, who's smiling at my happiness. "Oh yes, that's right. I had Peeta's help." This makes Peeta smile even bigger and his cheeks redden slightly.
"Peeta it's good to see you again too." Cinna tells Peeta and shakes his hand.
"Same to you, Cinna." Peeta replies.
"How are you two enjoying your suite?" asks Cinna.
"It's very nice."
"Just wait until you see the honeymoon suite. Of course, there won't be two rooms though." Cinna says with a tease.
"They're had better not be!" Peeta jokes back. I just blush. If it were any other two people taking about that, I would've been mad. Peeta looks at me and smiles. He knows I'm getting a little uncomfortable about this subject. "So what exactly is the plan?"
"Well everyday you'll meet with your wedding planners here in your suite. They'll help Katniss with the planning. Of course, Peeta you can be there too. I'll be here every once and a while to ask about the outfits. Other than that, you can do what you want."
"That sounds great. What time are they coming today?" Peeta asks.
"Oh you're free for today. They'll be here tomorrow at noon."
"Oh ok. We have time to unpack then." I say.
"Yes you do. I will see you sometime tomorrow. I gotta go now."
"Thank you again, Cinna" I say. We walk Cinna out and Peeta wraps me in a hug. Then he plants a kiss on my forehead.
"This is going to be real nice. I hope it's everything you want." Peeta tells me.
"I'm sure it will be. Already it's more than I could've hoped for. What about you?"
"All I want is you. As long as we end up married, I don't care how the wedding goes." he replies. With that, we both get our stuff to unpack.
After we unpacked, Peeta and I decided that we wanted to start on the quest list (we were bored). I thought it would be a good idea to start now, then when I'm with the planner who I am convinced will only help with Capital people invites. Peeta grabbed and notebook and a pencil and I sat down on the couch next to him.
"So where do we start?" he asks me.
"I guess with family."
"Yeah true. Ok so I'm guessing you want to invite your mom and Prim." he says with a wink. I roll my eyes and he writes down those names. I start giving him a list of everyone that comes to mind, Haymitch, Delly Cartwright, Greasy Sae, etc. "Don't you want to invite the Hawthornes?"
"Oh. I don't want to make you or him uncomfortable."
"I won't be uncomfortable, and if he thinks he will be then he won't come."
"Well I do want to invite his family, for sure. And if your sure you won't mind, we can invite Gale." I tell him as I watch him writes down all of the Hawthornes names, including Gale's. I take that as Peeta doesn't mind.
"Ok who else? We need to invite the surviving Victor's, don't you think?"
"Yeah good idea! It will be nice to see Finnick and Annie. Oh and I can't wait to see little Trident!"
"Yeah me either, and it will be nice to see Johanna again."
"I just hope she doesn't try stripping or anything…" I say with a chuckle. Peeta laughs too.
"Hopefully she won't. Hey are we inviting President Coin?"
"I don't want to, but I don't think we have a choice."
"Yeah I guess not. Do we really need to make a guest list then? If all of Panem is going to come, then what's the use?"
"I don't want all of Panem coming! That's why there's going to be cameras. I think it will be who we want, President Coin, and Capital people."
"That makes since. Ok well I think it might be nice to invite Cinna and your prep team. I know they're already coming, but I think it might be nice to send them an invite anyway."
"Ok good idea." I say and watch him finish writing down all of the names. "It feels like we're missing someone though." I say, trying to think. I watch Peeta's eye look over the list, carefully trying to decide who we missed. Then it hits me and I feel terrible. We didn't even tell them we were getting married! "Peeta, we forgot your family! And we didn't even tell them about the engagement! They're going to be so mad that we didn't even tell them until we send the invite! I feel so terrible about it! How could I forget your family‼?"
"Hey calm down. It's ok. I told them. I know it wasn't with you, but I just thought of it when I was at the house. So I told them then."
"Oh ok. I'm glad you did. I still feel bad about forgetting though."
"It just slipped your mind. I'm not mad, and neither are they."
"Ok. So what did they say when you told them?"
"My dad congratulated me, well us. Damper was a little bit surprised but happy, and Cob was the same but a little bit more surprised. I think it caught him off guard because he almost dropped his glass of water."
"Didn't they know we were together?"
"Yeah, but it was just a shock. I don't think they, especially Cob, expected it to last. But they really are happy for us."
"Oh I see. Well you didn't tell me what your mom said. Was she not there?"
"No she was there. She said, uh, well it doesn't matter what she said." he said trying to hide something. Apparently she didn't like the news. It didn't really surprise me.
"Peeta, does she not approve of me?"
"I said it doesn't matter. My mom disapproves of everything that I do. I love you, and I'm going to marry you. I don't care what my mom thinks about it!" He wasn't yelling, but he was upset.
"Well I don't see what she has against me."
"Because…because you are from the Seam…" he started.
"…And you are a merchant's son." I finished.
"Yeah that's it. But don't you dare think that this makes me love you any less. I think you are a wonderful person and I love you so much."
"I know, Peeta. It's ok. I don't care what your mother says anyway." I say with a smile. He smiled back and he wrote down his family members. Then he set the notebook and pencil aside and wrapped me in a hug. Then he looked me in the eye and started to lean in. I closed my eyes waiting for his lips to meet mine, but I only felt them land on my forehead. I gave Peeta and glare. "That was cruel, Peeta!"
"I know, but I couldn't resist." he said trying to contain his laughter. He was failing. I gave him another glare and crossed my arms. This only made him laugh harder. Soon I was laughing with him too. Peeta was laughing so hard that he's eye were starting to water. We just couldn't stop laughing.
Gale once told me that I only smile when I'm in the woods. He was wrong; I smile when I'm with Peeta. I smile, laugh, giggle, or just plain happy when I'm around him. That's one of the reasons I love him so much. I don't know what I'd do without him.
When he stopped laughing he kissed my temple. I smiled at him and went to lean in. He smiles and leaned in too. Just before our lips met, I quickly got up and out of his reach. I gave a sly grin to him over my slightly stunned fiancée.
"Now we're even." I say as I give him one more grin. Peeta just started laughing all over again.
~A/N~
Ok so I am so sorry about the wait! And I'm sorry about how short this is. I know this was probably was a very boring chapter, but I felt like it just had to happen.
Ok so I have something you need to know. I have a new job that starts tomorrow. I am going to be very busy! So I have no idea when I can write and update. But how about a deal? If you can keep reviewing, then I will try my very hardest to keep this story going! I promise to try very hard! That work?
Also I'm waiting to know somethings... Ok so when you go to review this I would like your opinion on somethings. 1.) How do you HONESTLY think this is going? I really want this to be great. What are somethings you think I should do differently? 2.) What kind of things do you like in stories? I want you to enjoy this! If you have any ideas, let me know! and 3.) Would you prefer longer or shorter chapters? Shorter would probably mean I'll update sooner, but longer would mean I'll probably update longer. Make since?
So just let me know you're opinions on those 3 things! Thanks, for reading, reviewing, alerting, etc!
