Chapter 9

"Peeta" I call out

He sticks his head out of his office. He walks out and gives me a quick kiss.

"Can you come to this celebration dinner for Prim? She got accepted into UNO" I say

"Of course I can come. I know Prim must be excited for college"

"Yea she is. The only problem with this dinner is that my mom is going to be there and you know how she is around you" I say rolling my eyes

"I still can't figure out why she doesn't like me" He says

"Don't worry, she may not like you but I love you" I smile at him.

He pulls me close to him and says "And I love you" We end up making out for awhile instead of working. I don't think I'll ever get tired of kissing Peeta.

Eventually we stop and start working. Then a thought occurred in my mind.

"Aww crap! I forgot to tell her that we are dating"

Peeta shrugs. "She doesn't really have a say in what goes on in your life"

"True, but I hate hearing her complain about everything"

Me, Peeta, and Prim enter this restaurant called Katie's. We go to our table and order our drinks.

"This is a nice place Katniss!" Prim says looking over the menu

We see mom walking our table. Her eyes widen at the sight if Peeta. She sits down next to Prim.

"Good evening" She says

" Hi mom" Me and Prim say

"Hello Ms. Everdeen"

"So Prim, you got accepted into UNO?" She asks

"Yea, I can't wait to go!"

"Are you going there because Katniss went there?"

"No, I'm going because I want to go there" She huffs

Moms already acting funny.

"So, Katniss at work there is this handsome guy named Gale, who is a year older than you. I think you should go on a date with him" Mom suggests

"I'm already dating someone" I say

"And who may that be?"

I look at Peeta. "I'm dating Peeta"

"Excuse me?" She says

"Your excused" Prim says

I smile at Prim.

"Katniss! I will not allow this!"

"You have no say on what goes on in my life!" I hiss

"Now this dinner is about Prim not about my life!"

"About that, Prim you can still come live with me"

"Mom, I'm fine living with my sister" She says

She narrows her eyes at Prim then Prim says something shocking.

"You know you became such a miserable women ever since dad left you. I mean you can't let anyone enjoy their lives! I mean get over it. You messed up your life by cheating on dad. Don't ruin everyone else's"

Moms eyes widen. "You can leave" Prim says.

Mom does just that. I watch as she walks out of the restaurant.

"Now lets enjoy ourselves, shall we?" Prim says

After that mess, dinner turned out great. When we got home Prim went out with her friends. It was just me and Peeta.

"Oh what a night" I sigh

"Your mom really hates me" Peeta says

"She hates everybody. I got used to it"

"Well I know someone who doesn't hate me" He says moving closer to me

"And who would that be?"

"You" He says kissing me. His kisses are so passionate, it feels so right to kiss him.

Life is agreeing with me.

My life has gotten so much better.

Too bad it won't last.
