PLEASE READ

WARNING: I DON'T own the Hunger Games or it's characters or the idea of it. It's Suzanne Collins wonderful masterpiece I merely enjoy to create new stories using what she has very kindly shared with us.

My ideas may not always be original either but I promise I'm not trying to copy anyone else's work if it seems to similar and would like me to take my story down please leave the message in the review section and we can discuss it as well any other questions to concerns.

Also, if you would like one of my stories translated into another language I may figure that out for you just tell me in the comment section!

I wake with a huge smile on my face yesterday and last night was perfect. The short ceremony and signing of the papers were just boring and protocol everyone who marries has to do. Peeta made the most delicious feast for us and was his usually kind and funny self. Everyone seemed to enjoy the event even though Gale has seemed a little wary which is understandable even though he should trust his best friends decisions. The toasting was simple and lovely maybe a little uncomfortable with so many watching. Then my thought wanders to last night my wedding night.

Everyone has left Peeta and I both walk hand in hand to our bedroom. There's a nervous tension in the air. We walk into the room and both sit on opposite sides of the bed and the silence is overwhelming. Peeta then clears his throat and says with a nervous tremor in his voice. "I-I don't expect anything of you don't feel obligated to do anything you're uncomfortable with or are not ready for." I nod and give thought to the situation. During people's wedding night I know most people make love in their marriage bed I have been thinking about it recently. I've already come to the realization that I've fallen in love with this kind, handsome, strong man and I think I would like to show him my love for him in a physical, as well as I, did earlier with words and I've always been better with actions then words so I have no doubt that our lovemaking will be full of love and passion.

"I want to Peeta," I tell him confidently but inside slightly nervous even though I'm also excited. He looks surprised and has the most beautiful shy smile on his lips. We move closer together and exchange a few soft kisses then Peeta asks quietly "Did you really mean it what you said before that you loved me?" I smile brightly at this and nod Peeta looks so pleased and kisses me again and mumbles against my lips "I love you so much!"

Peeta was gentle and kind and so loving. It hurt a little bit but I soon found pleasure in it he was perfect during the whole thing. Us both being virgins which we discussed before had made it a little clumsy and awkward but I'm happy that he's the only person I've ever been with and he feels the same it was everything and more for what I could have wanted for that night

I lay there looking at my beautiful sleeping husband who somehow is smiling in his sleep. I kiss his nose and wrap my arms around him laying my head on his chest and drift back off to sleep.

I soon wake to the smell of food wafting down from the kitchen. I go to the bathroom to get dressed and take care of my business. I put on a light sundress that I bought for Prim a year ago but was a little too big and she insisted I have it instead of ruining the inexpensive but nevertheless pretty dress by taking it in for her. It a light white dress with a splash of yellow at the bottom it's a little too short for my liking though only going down mid thigh. I found it in the clearance bin at the Taylor's and thought it perfect for her but I guess I look okay enough in it.

I go to the dining room where I know smell the food is now and see Peeta his unruly blond hair sticking up all over his head and casual outfit of a white-t-shirt that's tight fitting in a good way and dark brown jeans. He looks up after noticing my presence and gives me a dazzling smile. "Good morning I made a breakfast casserole from the leftovers from last night that people didn't take home with them I hope it's okay?!" he says happily. I smile at him in response and we sit and eat our breakfast together as he chatters on about trivial things but still keeps me intrigued nevertheless.

"Can we go on a picnic today the weather is surprisingly warm?" I ask and he looks pleased with my suggestion and says enthusiastically "Yeah that sounds great!" I know just the place too so after we finish the delicious breakfast Peeta prepared for us I take him to a secluded part of the meadow where we enjoy food Peeta prepared for us to snack on and many kisses that soon turn passionate and we make love again in the hidden part of the meadow. We talk almost nonstop or at least he does while I just enjoy listening to him and even the quiet moments are comfortable and happy.

We had an amazing day after watching the sunset in the meadow looking at Peeta favorite shade of orange fade we make our way back home and I can tell we're both a little sad that our honeymoon is over but at the same time excited to start a new routine together to really start our lives together. I wonder what adventures will happen tomorrow.

Thanks for reading and be prepared for drama in the next chapter!
