I have gotten use to being friends with Katniss again. Gale has quit drinking and has actually been okay to hang out with. Every time I see Katniss I want to kiss her and just be with her but I have to respect that she doesn't want us to be together. I am happy that she loves me I just wish I knew exactly why she don't want us together. Maybe I should ask her?

I am heading over to her house later. It has been almost a month since everything happened between us and I feel like things might be okay again soon. Looking at the clock I get up and get a shower. After I get dressed I grab my things and head across the road to her house.

Katniss's Pov…

It has almost been a month and Peeta and me are getting back to normal. I know he is upset that I told him I love him but I didn't want to be together now. I know he probably cant understand why I feel this way. To be honest I really don't know why I feel that way either. I guess it is because I slept with him and Gale and I don't want him thinking I am a slut. I guess it could also be that I want a baby but I'm afraid that if I date Peeta then I would be get scared and not want the baby. I don't want a family. I would worry to much about protecting them.

Hearing the door opening I look behind me and see Peeta walk in. "Hey." I smile and get up while he pulls me into his warm safe arms. I never want to leave these arms when I am in them. He pulls back and smiles at me, "So, I was thinking we go out to eat." I smile and head upstairs.

I hear a nice warm loud laugh and look behind me to see Peeta laughing, "So does that mean yes?" I nod and continue up to my room to change. After finding some jeans that I like and a top that looks okay I put them on and braid my hair in the way everyone knows. Grabbing my jacket I head down the stairs and see Peeta stand from the couch as I enter. Man he is so hot. I love him so much. I should date him; these feelings are not going to go away.

"You look great. Are you ready?" I nod and we head out the door and are walking to the hob. "Katniss?" I look up at him and smile telling him to go on. He sighs and pulls me to the side a little. "What's Wrong?" I shug, "Nothing." He looks around then back at me, "Katniss, you have been in your head. If you don't want to go, we can go back to your house." I shake my head I don't want to leave. I want to be with him. I just don't know how to quit thinking about kissing him and him being mine. "I am fine Peeta. I was just thinking about my family." He nods and we keep walking to the hob.

When we are eating some soup and bread I feel Peeta's hand on my knee. I look down but don't move it because it makes me feel safe. Gale walks over and smiles, "Hey guys. I didn't know you were coming." I smile, "Yeah, what are you doing here?" he looks over at Peeta but he just looks at his soup. "I came to talk with Haymitch. I wanted to know if he wanted my booze. I haven't been able to catch him anywhere." I smile big, "That is great Gale. I am so proud of you." I feel Peeta's hand move up on my leg to my thigh with his thumb on the inside. Gale looks between us, "So are you too together." I shake my head, "Nope, just friends. Gale you know this." He laughs, "Hey nothing to do but talk here. I thought maybe. But cool. We should all hang out soon." I nod and feel Peeta's thumb start to move in circles and it tickles. I stifle a moan because even though it tickles it feels good. "Well, I am gonna head to my mom's house. I'll see you around." I nod and watch as he leaves.

I turn to Peeta and glare, "What are you doing?" he look at me innocent, "What? Me? I'm doing nothing." He look back at him but he just smiles. I start eating my food again. He decides to play more and moves his hand more inside my legs and starts to rub. I drop my spoon and he laughs. I turn and glare, "Peeta quit." He smiles, "What? I'm not doing anything?" He leans over to grab my bread and breaths in my ear as he does. I decide I have had enough. Instead of getting up and leaving though I feel he deserves to be toyed with too.

Peeta's Pov…

I was messing with Katniss but I know she is getting mad. I move my hand back to her knee and quit. I just wanted to play with her not get her upset. I start to eat my soup again. I feel Katniss's hand on my thigh. I turn and stare at her with an eyebrow raised. Silently questioning what is going on. She just smiles and I turn back to my soup. I know she is up to something but I just don't know what.

I am almost done with my soup when I feel her hand move up to my zipper. I know my breath has caught in my throat. My heart is speeding up and I turn and look at her. My breath is on hold like its waiting to see what is she gonna do next. She just looks at her soup like nothing is going on. Then I feel it. I feel her hand moving over me. I stifle and moan and she starts to giggle. Just hearing that giggle gets me going. I can't take it. I grab her hand and wave as I take her back to the village.

"Where are we going?" I look down at her and she just smiles up at me, "You want to play then fine we will play. But I refuse to sit there and let you have your fun. " she just looks down and we start to walk in silence. "Katniss?" she looks up, "I'm sorry." she smiles slightly, "No, I'm sorry I shouldn't have messed with you." I look at her and swear I want her now. We are so close to the village. "Katniss, do you want…" She nods a little. "I know what you were going to say. Yes, I want a baby and right now I don't care about the baby. I really just want you I don't care about anything else."

That's all it took. I push her up against a wall of a building and attack her lips with kisses. I move down to her neck and start to suck on it. She moans and then pulls my hair bringing out a groan from me. I look in her eyes and see she wants what I want. I take her hand and we get to her house quickly.

I try to get her upstairs but she shakes her head and pushes me on the couch. I want this so bad but on a couch really. She is so much better than this. I go to reject the idea but as soon as she takes her shirt off that all it took. I pull her to me and attack her lips. Whatever happens tonight and whatever happens from here on out. I am just so happy that right now she is with me and I see nothing but love in her eyes.
