Chapter 11
"Do you even want to continue?" Katniss mumbles
I laugh and kiss her head. "Of course."
"Just make sure the door is locked this time."
I shake my head and check the door. "It's locked. But I could have sworn I locked it when we got in here."
If what happened last night was a dream, then this would be the point in which I wake up alone in my room.
I know for sure it's not a dream for three reasons. 1. I am waking up in Madge's cabin. 2. Someone else's body is pressed up against mine. 3. That body just happens to be a naked Katniss.
I sigh and close my eyes. I feel Katniss move against my body and she rests her head on my bare chest. I tighten my grip around her torso and pull her closer to me, even if it isn't all that possible to be closer.
"Looks like you two had fun." Someone giggles. I shoot my head up and see Madge in the doorway.
"Oh my God," I wipe my face with my hand. "How does this keep happening?"
"What are you talking about?" She laughs. I look down and the blanket is nearly exposing me. I pull it up and cover both me and Katniss.
"I locked the door twice and both you and Gale got in!"
"Oh, I didn't tell you? The locks on the doors are broken." She smirks. "Get dressed we have to get everyone home before our parents call the cops." With that she leaves and closes the door.
I kiss Katniss's forehead. "Katniss, wake up." I whisper. She doesn't even stir. I say her name louder, but she still doesn't wake up. After five minutes or so, Katniss still doesn't wake up. "Katniss, if you don't wake up now you're going to wish you did." I watch as her lips form a slight smile. So she is awake. This could be fun…
I press my lips to her jaw and kiss my way to the corner her mouth. She is about to kiss back when I pull away. She opens her eyes. "What the hell, Peeta?"
I simply smile and get out of bed. After I put my clothes on, I turn to see that Katniss is gone. "Katniss?" I walk towards the bed and look under the covers. Something grabs my leg and pulls me down. I let out a small (but hopefully still manly) scream. When I hit the floor, I'm pulled under the bed. "What the hell, Katniss?" I try to stay serous but fail at the attempt and begin laughing. "Come on we have to leave."
"I don't want to." She says quietly.
I get out from under the bed and pull her so she's standing and see that she's already in her dress from last night. "I have to get home. My mom is going to kill me." She nods and grabs my hand.
Rue, Madge, and Gale are already downstairs waiting for us. Once Gale sees us he starts cracking up. I slap the back of his head and walk, without saying a word, to the car. Gale comes out and looks as if he's trying not to start laughing again. "Dude, did you get some?"
"What?"
"You know," he nudges my side.
"I'm not talking about this with you." I shake my head and look away from him.
"You're gonna tell me eventually, you know it bro." He smirks.
Thankfully, nobody speaks throughout the whole car ride. Eventually it gets down to just me, Gale, and Katniss.
Katniss pulls up in front of my house. My parents are in the front yard dealing with the tire tracks from Cato's death trap he calls a car. I get out and close the door. My parents look up and drop what they're doing. I walk up to them and embrace them.
"Peeta Mellark, if I weren't so happy for you being home in one piece, you would be in so much trouble." My mom says into my neck. I let out a sigh of relief after she pulls away. "I'm going to make you breakfast. What would you like?" Before I can answer, she speaks again. "I'll just make some of everything, okay?" My mom glares over my shoulder at Katniss. "Unless she already did."
My dad shoos her away and puts and hand on my shoulder. "Did you have fun, son?" I smile and nod. He smirks lets out a laugh. "But did you lose anything?"
My eyes go wide and I feel a blush creeping though my cheeks. "Uh, I- um-"
"That's okay, Peeta, I sort of guessed." My father squeezes my shoulder. "We were worried sick, you could have called."
I shake my head. "I left my phone here." Shit. "Uh, I can explain what happened in the kitchen!"
"Explain away."
"Katniss's ex-boyfriend-"
"Ex?"
"Yes. Katniss's ex-boyfriend came and went crazy when Katniss was here."
"Katniss was here?"
I smile at the ground. "Yeah."
"We'll talk about this later." He lets go of my shoulder. "Gale, you better get home to your family. Your mother is worried about you." Gale nods and leaves. "Go talk to her." He whispers.
I am still shocked that my mom isn't slapping me right now for being gone all night. But what really gets to me is the fact that my dad seems okay with the fact that Katniss and I-
"Peeta?" Until now, I didn't realize that I had already walked up to Katniss.
I close my eyes and shake my head. "Sorry, what?"
"I don't know, you came over here." She grins at me.
"I, uh-" I don't even know what I want to say. "I had a great time yesterday."
"Me too."
I shove my hands in my pockets and look around. I'm usually not at a loss for words, but this girl makes it so hard to speak clearly. My eyes meet hers and I kiss her cheek. She blushes and looks at the ground. Just as I'm about to say goodbye, she puts her hands on either side of my face and locks her lips to mine.
I get lost and put my hand behind her head. "Peeta?" I pull away and see my dad still standing in the spot where I left him.
"Shit." I murmur. Katniss just laughs at the fact that I'm embarrassed. "Uh, would you like to stay for breakfast?" I ask her.
"I would like that." She grabs my hand and I lead her into my house.
Okay…I don't know what to do now. This is where the story line in the movie would end. I thought about just doing an epilogue after this because I have another story that I'm in the process of writing. What do you guys think?
