Chapter 10:
I wake up with the most beautiful girl in my arms and sigh contently. Every time I see her I can't believe she loves me back when she has more than enough reason to hate me. I don't want to wake her up because she is so peaceful when she sleeps. I can't help but stare. Somehow she feels my eyes on her face and she opens her eyes.
She smile up at me and says "Morning."
"Good morning to you too."
"Can you believe we are getting married tomorrow?"
"I still can't believe that you agreed to it."
"You and my mom both."
Those simple words took me back to the day, two months ago when we tolled Mrs. Everdeen that we were getting married…
"Hey mom, we have some news to tell you."
"Oh and what would that be?"
"Well Mrs. Everdeen, I love your daughter very much and I asked her to marry me."
"And I said yes!"
"Don't you think that you two are a little young? I know that you were engaged before, but that was just for show."
"Mom, I am old enough to be in a rebellion, but I'm not old enough to marry the person that I love?" I laugh as I remember asking Katniss the same question about having adjoining rooms.
"Yes, but you should think this trough."
"I love Peeta what else I there to think about"
"It sounds like you've already made up your mind."
"Yes I have."
"Okay but I still can't believe you are getting married."
I look back at Katniss and smile "If it were up to her you would be 80 before she allowed you to get married."
"18…80 what the difference."
"None what so ever."
Katniss' POV:
Just as Peeta leans in for a kiss a loud nock comes from the door. I yelled "Come in." expecting it to be Prim or my mom. The door opens and Gale walks in, I haven't seen him since the day Peeta and I got engaged. He looks at the floor making me think that he is afraid to look me in the eyes.
"Hey… Gale…um… how have you been?" I ask unsure.
"Okay I guess… um… can we talk? Alone?" I look at Peeta, half expecting him to get upset, and he just smiles and nods.
"Sure." I get up and Gale starts walking and I follow. He leads me to one of the balconies on the hovercraft. I look at him waiting.
"This is where I came after you told me that you were marrying Peeta." His voice was off like he was trying to hide something. "Now I don't know who to tell you this, so don't take it the wrong way, but I met someone." I stand there in shock; tears came streaming out of my eyes as relief washed over me.
"No, don't cry I still care about you Catnip, I always will it's just…" I cut him off before he could say anymore.
"Gale I know that you will always care about me, that's not why I'm crying… I'm crying because I'm happy that you found someone. I've felt so guilty for hurting you…"
He warps me in one of his tight bear hugs. He holds me until we are both laughing at our stupidity. "So… who's the lucky girl?"
"Well… it's sort of … Johanna."
"Wow." Was all that I could manage to say. I didn't particularly like her, but if she made Gale happy I guess that's all that matters.
"So when are you getting married?"
"Um…."
"Come on Catnip spit it out."
"Tomorrow," I reply sheepishly.
"Wow."
"Yea."
"Well are you going to invite me to your wedding?"
"Well how would you like to walk me down the aisle, my mom and Prim are brides maids so they can't do it… and I completely understand if you don't want to …"
"It would be my honor to walk my best friend down the aisle."
"Thanks." I hug him once more.
"Oh, your mom wants me to ask you to go and try on your dress. Do you know what it looks like yet?" He said with a knowing smile.
"No they told me I couldn't see I until the day before the wedding… which I guess is today."
"Well you better hurry up I think they are waiting for you."
I walk to the room were Prim and my mom have been planning my wedding. I haven't had to do anything; they said they wanted to make the wedding a surprise for me. They should know by now that I hate surprises, I like to know how things are going to go. As soon as I open the door someone covers my eyes with a thick black cloth so I can't see anything, including the person who blindfolded me, even though I'm sure it's Prim.
"Prim, I swear if you don't take this stupid thing off of me I will lock you in a closet." I heard a deep chuckle, too deep to belong to little Prim.
"I still see you have your flame," a familiar voice teases.
"Okay please remove the stupid blindfold so I can see it you're who I think you are."
The blindfold is removed from my eyes and I start to cry for the second time today. "I thought… I thought…"
"I know what you thought but no one and I mean no one could stop me from designing your wedding dress." I throw my arms around Cinna and hold him close while I sob. "Wow, you can go into the area twice, but the thought of me creating your wedding dress brings you to tears."
I lightly smack his arm before I realize that he had to have some time to make my dress. "What, when did you get here?"
"Oh about one and a half months ago."
"NO ONE TOLD ME," I yelled beyond furious.
"Now it wouldn't have been a surprise if we did now would it."
Peeta's POV:
I go to the final fitting for my tux. I walk in and hear her yell "NO ONE TOLD ME!" I guess Cinna finally decided to pay her a visit. I chuckle at how angry she gets when she is left out of the loop. Her minor outburst is only a fraction of what it will be tomorrow, when she sees what Prim and I have planned.
Author's note: Okay I know what really happens to Cinna but I decided to put him in my story. Thanks for those who read the story and an even bigger thanks to those who review. Please tell me what you think.
