I'm so sorry I haven't updated earlier.

I am just so depressed with my dog passing away.

I can't bring myself to write, or do anything really. I'm sorry if this chapter is short and crappy, its just so hard trying to get my little puppy out of my head. I love you all, and thanks so much for your supporting reviews. God gave me all of you to help me get through this.

If I had a fork, I would kill myself.

I have been stuffed in 26 dresses today, and all of them make me look like a slut. It either pushes up my ass or my boobs.

"Guys, Its a fucking ball! Why are you making me try on dresses that look like they are from Whores R Us?" I snap.

"Katniss, they aren't slutty!" Annie laughs like its the most obvious thing in the world. "They just make you look good. And I have a feeling you aren't used to that."

That shuts me right up.

I want to snap at her for making that comment that kind of tugged at my feelings, but she's right. I'm not used to this. I could never afford it, plus its just not my thing. Johanna decides to take pity on me.

"Alright Kat. You can stop trying on dresses if you promise to get your ass back in here tomorrow and pick one out."

"Yes!" I cry with joy and Annie rolls her eyes.

"Fine." Annie pouts and leads us to the register. "But you can't see mine or Johanna's till the day of the ball!"

"What? Why not?"

"Because we haven't seen yours yet." she smirks. I grumble and she laughs and announces were going to get ice cream with the boys.

"Shouldn't they be in class?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Lunch break, brainless." Johanna rolls her eyes and a small smile creeps on my face.

We get to a small ice cream shop called Seeder's, and sit in an all around booth, waiting for the boys.

"So Katniss...how are things with you and Peeta?" Johanna says with a seductive smile.

"There great!" I say extra cheerfully to annoy her, and she scowls while I laugh.

"What's your least favorite thing about him?" Johanna asks randomly.

"Um, shouldn't it go the other way around?" I say with a confused look on my face but a small smile. She rolls her eyes but can't help but smiling a little.

"Answer the question, smartass." she says with a smirk. I scowl but answer the question.

"Nothing, really. He's perfect. I don't think I have ever met somebody so wonderful. He is caring, kind, compassionate..."

"So how is he in bed?"

I almost choke on my own saliva.

"What?"

"Come on, Katniss. How big is he? Is he more rough? Or gentle?" she says with a smug grin.

"Johanna!" Annie squeals in a fit of giggles.

"I-I haven't done anything with him! I'm a virgin, and that's how I intend to stay." I state. Johanna rolls her eyes.

"You're leaving a boy like that with a case of blue balls? If I was with a boy like that, I would cherish that fine piece of ass and-" I cover my ears while Johanna guffaws.

"But come on. There's gotta be something you don't like about him." Johanna says knowingly. I sigh.

"I don't know. I guess his name is kind of weird." I say softly, a small smile playing on my lips.

"Ok, Katniss."

I scowl.

At that moment, the boys walk in and squish themselves into our small booth. Peeta grins when he sees me and I return it with a small smile. He sits next to me and immediately takes a hold of my hand and sets our intertwined fingers in his lap. He gives me a small peck on the lips.

"Hi." I say. He smiles and opens his mouth to reply when-

"Kitty Kat!" Finnick grins and sloppily kisses my cheek in a friendly way. Peeta doesn't seem to mind and neither does Annie, but I wrinkle my nose and wipe it off. Finnick guffaws.

"Then there's more where that came from!" He laughs. He opens his mouth to say something else when Johanna roughly yanks his arm and whispers something in his ear. They both grin mischievously at one another and return with normal faces, as if nothing just happened. I cock my head, a stupid habit I developed and do when I am confused.

"So Peeta, since Katniss wouldn't answer my questions, how is Katniss in bed?" I slam my head on the table. Peeta perks up and his ears and face turn bright red.

"We-we didn't, we never-erm, uh.."

"Oh stop it Peeta. Your telling me that you haven't banged that beautiful girl?" Annie giggles. I gasp. I can't believe something like that came out of Annie's mouth.

"Nope. But I can tell he wants to." Finnick cackles. I timidly look over at Peeta to see him blushing madly, squirming in his seat. All three of them guffaw. I cover my ears and try to get the awful images out of my head.

Peeta POV

I groan as the group laughs at their sick minds, and Katniss covers her ears. She looks really uneasy.

"You know what? Come on, Katniss. Let's go get ice cream and maybe some for these sick bastards." I pull Katniss up and give the iciest stare possible to Finnick. I told him how she is around this kind of stuff. His smirk softens a little but not much, and looks to the ground. He knows I don't glare at people often. I don't like hurting feelings. We get to the front of the line.

"What would you like, love?" I rub Katniss's hand and her eyes sparkle, a small smile on her face as she looks at the menu. She looks beautiful. I take a moment to admire her as the cashier walks up to the front, her eyes annoyed and cast to the ground.

"May I take your-oh hello, aren't you just the most delicious human being I have ever seen?" she purrs, bending over to show off her revealing chest.

"Have anything with peanut butter?" Katniss says seductively, bending over the counter, mocking her. I burst into a fit of laughter, and Katniss joins me. The cashier scowls and disappears behind the curtain. I laugh once more and wrap her in a bear hug.

"Your awesome." I chuckle. Her eyes shine. I'm so happy that she is happy. I love her so much. I hope one day I can make her even happier by asking her to be my wife.

Holy Shit.

What did I just think?

I want to marry Katniss?

I guess I do.

I look down on her. She is so perfect. She is amazing. Beautiful, smart, and full of fire. I never thought I would end up with a girl like her, but I hope I can be with her forever. A new cashier appears, older and male.

"Sorry about her. What would you like?" he says, his kind eyes smiling apon us. I order what Annie, Finn and Johanna always get.

"Medium mint shake, small strawberry sundae, large chocolate dipped cone, and a large double fudge sundae. What would you like, love?" I say, my mouth watering at tasting my favorite.

"Hmm." she says, scanning over the menu again. She finally scoffs at the menu and looks at the cashier.

"I'll have a bowl of vanilla ice cream, Oh! And can you mix peanut butter in it? Like, a lot? And peanuts on top please, with crushed peanut butter cups. Don't forget the peanut butter!" She says. The cashier grins and I chuckle, and she blushes in embarrassment. I hand him the money.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money here. You will have to take off one of the things you ordered." The cashier gives me an apologetic smile.

"Alright, take off the fudge sundae." Katniss frowns, and I put my arm around her shoulder. I playfully poke her cheek and looks up at me.

"You can share with me." she says with a cheeky grin. I return her grin.

"Ok, your order will be at your table in a few." The cashier says and disappears behind the curtain.

"That was quite an order you made there." I tell Katniss with a grin. She blushes and pushes my shoulder. I laugh.

"HEY PEENISS! GET OVER HERE!" I squeeze my eyes shut in embarrassment at the nic name Finnick gave Katniss and I. Sure enough, we both turn around to see Finnick sitting at the table, a smug smirk on his face, while everyone else's eyes in the shop are on Katniss and I. Katniss boils beside me and I rub her arm. She sighs and follows me back to the booth.

"Finnick fucking Odair. If you do that one more time, I will cut off your balls. Keep all penis' in your mouth." she hisses, and I snort in laughter at the last part. Finnick looks mortified, customers staring at him with a wide grin. Katniss cackles and we sit in the booth.

"I-I'm not gay!" Finnick spurts.

"Well now everyone thinks you are." I grin.

"Katniss!" Finnick whines.

"Well you should have not done that." she says casually, but a small smirk plays on her lips. Finnick bangs his head on the table and we all laugh. Our ice cream is set on the table and Katniss snatches hers faster than anything I have ever seen.

"Eager much?" I chuckle. She replies with a moan as she shoves the peanut butter ice cream in her mouth.

"Remember half of that's mine." I say with a smug grin. She scowls and hands me a spoon. We all laugh and happily talk until Katniss stiffens and her eyes widen. I follow her gaze to see a man, an icy smile on his face.

Staring at her.

Oooh! Who is it? once again im so so sorry for not updating. Times are really hard. Next chapter will be better and longer :)
