But don't forget to add me to your favorites or alerts. OK now here is the story.
Chapter 10: Dance With Me Till' the End of Love
"Yes at 6:30 tonight, dinner for 2. This is Peeta Mellark." Peeta talks on the phone discreetly. "Ok thanks, see you there." He puts down the phone and thinks I didn't hear.
I walk over to him with my arms crossed.
"Peeta who were you talking with on the phone?" I interrogate him.
"Oh I was talking Arden, my apprentice on the phone." He easily replies.
I nod my head and look at him
"It didn't sound like Arden." I defense back.
"Ok it wasn't, but I have to go to work already. But when I get home I have a big surprise for you." He winks, gives me a kiss and leaves.
I sit on the couch with my arms crossed. What secret could he be hiding from me? I think of possible possibilities until I hear a knock on the door. I open the door to see Delly, Annie and Johanna standing in the doorway.
"Hey guys" I say excitedly "What are you guys doing here?" I ask them giving them all a hug.
"Well Peeta has a surprise for you and he wants us to help you get ready." Delly explains.
"We are not giving out any clues except you have to look formal for tonight." Johanna states.
"Awww, thanks guys. I can't believe you guys came all the way here just to help me." I thank them
"We are glad to help." Annie comments.
I bring them all inside. And we head to my bedroom. They start going through my clothes and dumping it on the bed.
"Katniss do you have anything formal?" Johanna asks me, holding up a formal dress that used to fit me.
"I hardly have clothes that fit me. And I never go to anything formal so no, I don't have anything formal to wear." I say slumping back into the bed.
"Come on let's go shopping." Delly says as she helps me up.
I wear something more appropriate for going outside and we head out to the merchant part of District 12. We head to the 1st dress boutique we see and go inside. We all search for something nice for me to wear that could fit me. But we didn't find any. We head to the next store and luckily it is a store specializing in maternity wear. We go inside and look around. We get a bunch of clothes that looks nice and fits me and head to the changing stations. The first dress I try on is a golden dress, cut on the knees and is very fitted. I go out with the dress and turn around.
"This dress is a bit too plain." Johanna comments.
"Yeah I agree. We should get you something more special." Annie seconds Johanna's comment.
I go back into the dressing room and change into the next. It is a black tube dress with white folds on the top, and it is pushing up my boobs. I go out and turn around. I actually don't like the dress already.
"Sexy Katniss" Johanna praises.
"It looks good on you Katniss." Delly also comments.
"But guys, I feel as if my boobs are going to fall out." I complain.
"Ok let's try on the next one and let's see if it looks good." Annie suggests.
I completely agree and go back into the changing room. I try on a a long, loose, one shoulder, dark teal dress. It is very comfortable, and it is very elegant looking. I go out and I twirl.
"You look stunning." Annie compliments.
"I think this is the dress." I agree with Annie's compliment.
I all give them a hug and change back into my regular clothes. We pay for the dress and head to a jewellery and shoes shop next to it. We buy a pair of dangling earrings and a pair of gold heels. We go back to my house. And we dress myself up. Delly helps me put my dress on and places my earrings and heels for me. Annie does my make up with natural colours. And Johanna does my hair in loose flowing curls with an extra accessory she found in my closet.
"Now Katniss we will bring you to the mirror. No peaking please." Johanna requests leading me to the mirror.
After a few seconds we stop moving.
"Ok you can look on the count of three." Delly says "1, 2 and 3"
Johanna takes her hand off my eyes and lets me look at the mirror. I look nice and elegant but simple at the same time. I give them all a hug.
"Thanks you guys much." I thank them after I hug all of them.
"That is no problem Katniss." Delly winks at me.
We hear the door open and we know it is Peeta.
"Katniss I am home!" He calls from the living room.
I go downstairs slowly and I smile at Peeta wearing a dashing tux with a dandelion on the side pocket. He looks at me amazed and flashes me a smile. I reach the bottom of the stairs Peeta takes my hand and kisses it.
"You look so beautiful tonight. But you are beautiful every day." He compliments.
I give him a kiss on the lips and hug him.
"Well you don't look so bad yourself." I compliment him back.
He gives me the crook of his arm and we head outside and a nice car is waiting for us in the driveway. Peeta opens the door and lets me go in first. He then goes in and closes the door. I hold his hand the entire way. The car stops and we reach out destination, a fancy restaurant where hardly anyone can get in. Peeta gets out of the car first and helps me up. The people lining up notice and say things like "the star crossed lovers" or "it is the Mockingjay and Peeta Mellark".
"Peeta Mellark" He informs the receptionist "We talked on the phone this morning."
She nods her head and smiles.
"Yes I remember. Right this way please."
She leads us to a table far into the restaurant and into the more expensive tables.
We sit down on the comfy chairs and we thank her. She takes our orders and closes her order pad.
"If you need anything else just press the button and one of our servants will attend to you." She tells us tapping a red button installed on the table.
She gives us a smile and leaves us alone. I look around the restaurant and see many things. People dressing up real fancy, a band is playing soft mood setting music and the restaurant is fully booked tonight. I then realize how hard it was for Peeta to get us a reservation. I entwine my fingers with his and settle into his strong arms. He kisses me on the head and I can feel him smile.
"This moment is perfect. But every moment I spend with you is always perfect to me." He tightens his hold around me and I snuggle closer to him.
"I love you so much Peeta. And I know you will be the greatest father possible for our baby." I whisper in his chest.
"I won't be the greatest father nor am I close to perfect. But I will do my best to be the best I can for our little girl." He says massaging my fingers.
I feel a little kicking sensation in the lower part of my stomach and I know exactly what it is. My little baby is kicking.
"I think are little baby is agreeing you will be the best." I tell him feeling her kick.
He looks into my eyes and realizes what I mean.
"Is she.. Is she kicking?" He asks joyfully.
I give him a nod and I place his hand on the spot I feel her kick. She kicks a few more times and I feel overjoyed. Peeta flashes a grin bigger than I have ever seen.
"Hi baby it is Daddy. I love you so much and when you come out we are going to do everything together. I promise baby." He whispers to my stomach.
I tear up a bit and hug him. Our dinner orders come and the attendant places our orders politely on our table. I take a whiff of my order and let the scent linger in my nose. It is a herb stuffed chicken with a rich creamy butter sauce and with a side of vegetables. I take a bite of the chicken and let the flavour sit in my mouth. And before I knew it I finished everything in a matter of minutes. Peeta finishes shortly after me and he pays the bill. He hands an extra tip to the attendant and we head out the restaurant. Peeta dismisses the driver and the car heads the opposite direction. He gives me his hand and I hold it happily. As we walk to our next destination the wind starts to blow and it gets colder. I shiver a bit but just brush it off. Peeta notices this and places his jacket on my shoulders. We walk silently but the silence was a good silence for the rest of the walk. We reach out destination and I see he brought me to a park. He leads me to a little white pavilion and I take a seat on the bench. He opens a switch and the whole pavilion lights up. The pavilion is covered with pink roses. The kind of roses I decided to give as a second name to my daughter. I stare at the little pavilion and feel happy tears welling up in my eyes.
"Peeta this is beautiful. This night has been beautiful. Everything is just so beautiful." I tell him letting the tears of happiness fall down my face.
I brush off my tears and look at him.
"I wanted this night to be as beautiful as the woman that I will love and cherish for the rest of my life, forever and always." He tells me places a strand of hair behind my ear.
I slightly blush but I give him a warm and happy smile.
He hands out his hand to me and gives me a cheeky smile.
"May I have this dance?" He asks giving out his hand.
I take his hand and walk to the middle of the pavilion. He starts to sway me around when a little orchestra of string instrument appears. They play this soft and comforting ballad. We sway to the melody.
Peeta kisses my forehead and I rest my head on his shoulder.
"I love you Katniss to the moon and back. I love you until the end of my existence. And I love you till' the end of love." He whispers to my ear.
I kiss his shoulder and let his words sink into my heart. I get a warm feeling and I feel home, secure and safe.
"I love you Peeta very much too. I am not good with words but. I love you for infinity and beyond. I love you forever and as long as I can. And most of all I am always here when you need me. And I will risk my life for you any day." I whisper back into his ear.
He spins me around and kisses me softly but slowly. He then kneels in front of my ever growing belly and kisses it.
"Thank you for giving me this piece of me." He tells me feeling my stomach.
We continue dancing until midnight and I feel happy and complete. When I went to sleep. Before I drifted off I stared at my husband's sleeping face and think "How did fate bring me to this wonderful man?"
