you wanted another chapter here it is because I love you all so much :) the chapter you have all been waiting for
chapter 11
(Katniss's POV)
I stood there staring at him, he looked back at me clueless, here it goes again burning cheeks.
"erm... I thought you were Madge" I replied, he laughed "no unfortunately I don't have long blonde hair, breasts and is dating Finnick" Peeta replied.
"did you want something? or are you coming to tell me that you are going to District 1 for the Halloween break now? I asked as i continued packing my bag not making eye contact with Peeta.
"no I am still coming just wanted to come and ask you something but I think it may be a bit awkward now" he replied as he was slightly blushing. He rubbed the back of his neck, he normally did this when he was nervous.
"so I was thinking when I get back maybe giving Glimmer another chance" he suggested to me, I suddenly stopped what I was doing and turned around to look at him, "are you serious, you can't, you deserve somebody much better than that" I told him, I faced him.
"what, you jealous much? he asked
yes I was jealous, Glimmer didn't deserve another chance, she didn't even deserve to breath the same air as us but yeah she had to didn't she.
"just you deserve better that's all but hey do what you want, I am only your friend at the end of the day" I replied continuing to pack my bag, I suddenly heard him giggle
"god katniss you are easily fooled, why I love teasing you so much" he replied grinning at me, I turned and looked at him again.
"you were joking?" I asked, he then nodded, I suddenly went over and pushed him, although he was that strong her didn't even move.
"dam you Peeta!" I said raising my voice but in a playful tone, he laughed at me shaking his head. "can you not make it obvious that you fancy me"he replied. I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out, I looked into his eyes losing myself in them, the deep blue eyes like the ocean, no I can't have a boyfriend, I need to concentrate on my studies.
I then realized I had my hands resting on his chest, he was staring at me and smiling, he then began to lean forward, my eyes closed welcoming his lips on mine
"I am back Katniss" Madge said loudly, me and Peeta suddenly broke apart, Madge looked at us
"oh am I interrupting something?" she asked, looking us both up and down, "no, no just talking that's all" I replied removing my hands from his chest, "talking huh, anyway I just came to say goodbye me and Finnick are leaving now" Madge replied, "oh right well my dad is on his way to pick me and Peeta up, so guess we will see you in a week" I replied, this conversation was awkward.
Me and Peeta waited downstairs for my dad to turn up, we stood not making eye contact with each other, he was shuffling next to me, "I hope your family like me" Peeta said, "they will, they know who you are" I replied feeling the awkward atmosphere.
"things are not going to be awkward between us is it" he asked me
"hopefully not, well no why would things be awkward?" I asked, "because I know you wanted that kiss as much as I did" Peeta replied.
"look Peeta, I don't really want a boyfriend, I need to concentrate on my studies, at the moment I am getting A* and stuff" I told him, he looked at me like he had just been shot down several times, I may of just broke the poor guys heart. "okay Katniss, I understand, who would want to be with Peeta Mellark anyway, just the girls who walk all over me" he said to me, "no, I don't mean it like that" I replied.
Peeta looked crushed, I was about to say something when my dad pulled up.
"hey Katniss, Peeta" he said, he looked gob smacked
"hey Mr Everdeen, nice too meet you I am Peeta Mellark" Peeta said shaking his hand
Dad was mesmerized the fact that the lead singer of a band that I had never heard of but everyone else seems to of was staying with us. "my youngest prim loves your music, she is so excited that you are coming to stay with us" Dad said. We both got into the back of the car, he looked at us through the mirror.
"so are you two dating?" Dad asked, Peeta smiled while I looked up, "no we are just friends" I corrected, dad smiled, "nice to see you again Katniss, it's been quite without you around" Dad said, "what's that suppose to mean?" I replied smirking.
"oh nothing, Gale is back as well, he can't wait to see you" Dad replied, oh my god Gale, I looked at Peeta and he was staring out the window, "hows mum and Prim?" I asked, "they are great, prim settled brilliantly at school, she may even have a boyfriend called Rory" Dad replied giggling
"really, god she is growing up fast" I replied, "hey Kittykat, does your sister have posters of me on her wall?" Peeta asked.
"erm... I don't think so, I have never seen any" I replied, "it would be pretty strange, seeing me on your sister's wall" Peeta laughed, "yeah very" I replied still felling awkward.
Peeta'S POV
Why was Katniss acting all weird around me, I knew she liked me as much as I liked her, and I would not distract her from her studies if we were to date. I wanted her to be my girlfriend so much because I had never felt this way about anyone as I feel about Katniss.
I moved my hand closer to her's, on the touch of her finger tips she jumped but she didn't move her hand away. Except she kept her hand where it was, she looked at me and smiled, all I wanted was to put my arm around her and hold her in my arms, maybe sometime very soon she will give into me.
Just over an hour and a half later we passed the sign saying Welcome to District 12, please driver carefully, my first impression was it was filled with tree's and travelling down the road were hut's, People sat outside, most with dogs as companions. I heard a few people notice who I was but I just couldn't get my head around how far my music actually went.
"Welcome to my home town" Katniss said, I looked around and began waving at people, they all began to wave back. "I don't think you are going to see much of him this past week, he is already popular" Dad said.
We stopped outside a house, regarding the Houses we had passed coming up here they had not been as big as these one's. I imagined this is what Katniss was talking about living in the bigger houses, I got out of the car and looked around, it was great to feel a cool breeze on me instead of the sun always burning down on me. I liked District 12 already and I could see myself living here.
Katniss approached me, "what do you think?" she asked, "the place is nice, you fancy a walk tonight, you know show me around" I asked, "sure, there is a firework display on tonight, if you would like to go to that" Katniss asked me, I smiled at her, "yeah sure" I said back to her.
Suddenly a young girl came running out, she had blonde hair in two braids and was wearing a white skirt and top, Katniss picked her up, I imagined this was Prim, "I missed you so much little duck, well my big duck now, who is Rory" Katniss asked her, I saw Prims cheeks go red.
"she takes after you for the blushing" I said, I saw Prim's blue eyes looking at me, "oh my god it's Peeta Mellark, from The Mockingjays" she said excitedly, she ran over to me and grabbed me around the waist, Katniss laughed, "oh my god I can't believe you are dating the Peeta Mellark"Prim said.
Katniss's mouth opened, I knew she was about to say he is not my boyfriend but she didn't, she just looked at me and smiled, "I am taking Peeta to the fire works tonight, are you going with Rory?" Katniss asked.
"yes and Rue" Prim replied, "don't kiss too much" Katniss replied, Prim then giggled and ran back in the house.
Katniss took me into her house, just walking in it felt welcoming, I was suddenly greeted by her mother, "you must be Peeta, can I just say that it is a privilege to have you staying with us and we are so glad katniss found a nice guy like you to date" her mum explained. Why did everyone seem to think I was dating Katniss, not that I was bothered.
"oh Katniss, I made you and your boyfriend a nice meal, so glad to have you here" her mum replied leading us to the table, it was set for two.
Me and Katniss looked at each other, she gave a smirk, her family left the room, I turned to her
"you think they are trying to tell us something?" I asked her, she gave a grin
"they think your my boyfriend or something" she replied as she began eating, "yeah I guess they do, maybe we should tell them that I am not"I replied
"it's fine" Katniss replied, I looked at her in shock, was she starting to give into me?
Katniss's POV
I took my hair out of my braid and it flowed down over my shoulders, It felt strange being back in my old room again and also having Peeta in the same house. I felt kind of awful that he had to sleep on the couch but we didn't have a spare bedroom.
It was about half an hour till the fireworks, Peeta was coming up to my room where we would sit and watch them from a distance, I always thought it was a better view than actually being there. I put on a white skirt and a white top and black cardigan, I put on a tiny bit of make-up.
I heard my mum shout up that they were leaving, and soon I heard the door shut. I then heard a tap on my door.
"come in" I said, the door opening and Peeta walking in wearing a Black t shirt and a pair of dark denim jeans, I gave him a smile, he grinned at me
"you look nice" He said rubbing the back of his head, "thanks, you don't look to bad yourself" I replied chuckling. He put his hands in his pockets, "so where we watching the fireworks from?" he asked. I held my hand out, "come with me" I said to him.
His hand went in mine, much larger than what mine where, I led him over to the window, leading him onto the ledge outside where you could sit.
"whoa Kittykat, is it safe up here?" he asked me as he looked down to the floor, I laughed.
"of course it's safe, I used to come up here all the time, it helps me think you know" I replied. He sat down opposite me the ends of our shoes touching. "do you like it here? " I asked, "very much, it is amazing, it's a place were it is ust quite, and the forest and meadow scenery is just amazing and the smell of pine and stuff, yes I could live here" Peeta replied.
"really?" I asked, he looked into my eyes, "yes, it is beautiful ... like you" he said pausing for a moment, I whipped my head around and stared at him, " I remember the first time I saw you, I got out of my car and saw you looking at me, I was drawn to you straight away, you looked stunning, but I was with Glimmer and all I wanted was you" he confessed.
"Peeta, I ... I'm nothing special" I replied shocked at his confession, "you are though, you are special to me, Katniss don't you see it I love you" Peeta replied.
My heart skipped a beat, I was speechless, I couldn't speak, I took a deep breath.
"say something" Peeta replied turning into a whisper
"I am not good at staying something, Peeta I want to love you back I am just scared that's all" I replied. "why are you scared, I won't ever hurt you? Peeta said.
"I know" I replied, I then leaned over to him and placed my lips onto his, he responded, his warm lips going with mine. My body felt like it was going crazy, never had I felt anything like this. I thought back to the dream I had that night, suddenly we heard the fireworks start flying up into the air, we pulled away from each other to watch them, lots of different colours going up in the air.
"it's beautiful" I said
"I know you are" Peeta replied
I looked at him a bit my bottom lip, he looked into my eyes stroking the side of my face, I ran my finger across is Jaw, I always found his Jaw really sexy. I then asked the question for him.
"Peeta, can I be your girlfriend" I asked shyly
His eyes went wide, he smiled the biggest smile I had ever seen "Yes Kittykat, you can be my girlfriend" he replied.
