Get ready for a REALLY long chapter.

Answer to guest reviewer: Maybe

A/N: I've decided to make each home town date into it's own chapter because as I was writing this, it because over 4,000 words. And I didn't want to have all the dates that would be around the same amount of words in one chapter.

So it's going to be split up!

I hope you enjoy it!

The first family I was meeting was Marvel's in Jacksonville, Arkansas. The taxi just dropped me off at Burns park where I would be meeting Marvel. Needless to say I was excited, it's only been a few days but I miss him already, I miss all the guys.

I walked through the park until I came across a picnic with a rose but no one near it. I stopped looked around to see if this was anyways, but no one was in sighed. My eyes went back to the picnic and I felt myself smile, I didn't think it was for me. It was really sweet, whoever did that really put some thought into it. It was just a regular picnic but it had a certain feel to it. It had a large red blanket laid out and the basket of food in the middle, it also had a bottle of champagne with glasses. It was on a small hill that over looked a beautiful lake with a fountain in the middle. I don't know, something about it was just really romantic.

Next thing I knew arms wrapped around me from behind and the scent of cologne filled my nostrils. A smile came upon my face as a familiar and sexy voice whispered in my ear.

"I missed you Kitty." Marvel whispered, his breath tickling my ear.

I turned in his arms and saw his bright smile, "I missed you too, it's only been a few days but I'm so used to seeing you guys every day." I said as I put my arms around his neck and hugged him.

He looked behind me at the picnic once we pulled apart. "I'm glad you found it, I was worried you wouldn't show up and would be wandering around randomly." He chuckled nervously.

I turned and looked at the picnic then back at Marvel who's eyes were shining. "You mean this was you? You made this?"

He nodded, "Why else would there be a random picnic right where you found me?"

I blushed and gave an embarrassed laugh, "I guess that makes sense then."

He took my hand and led me to the blanket where he sat down and pulled me down with him. I situated myself next to him to where I was looking out at the beautiful lake.

"Champagne for the lovely lady?" He offered in a hilarious attempt at a British accent.

I laughed which made his eyes light up even more.

"I would love some." He took my glass and poured me some while still chuckling.

"You have the best laugh, you know that?" He asked as he poured his own, giving me a sheepish grin.

I blushed and drank my champagne, giving him a once over. I have to say he looked really hot, he was wearing a dark red plaid flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows with jeans. The cologne smell was very inviting as well.

"So, I have something simple for us." Marvel said, going into the basket and pulling out our lunch. "Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches."

I took it from his outstretched hand and grinned, "Thank you, these are my favorite."

He chuckled, "Good thing, because I make the best."

I smirked, "I'll be the judge of that."

I unwrapped the sandwich and took a bite, moaning in delight. I looked at Marvel in embarrassment after I moaned to see him biting his lip looking at me with something more than love.

Lust

I snorted a little and snapped in front of his face to get him out of whatever daze he was in, "Marvel, all I did was moan."

His cheeks lit up and he avoided my gaze, "S-sorry! You just, um... You know, you're beautiful and all so I'm bound to think about that at some point." He said shyly.

I laughed and leaned over to give him a quick peck on the lips, "I'm flattered."

"You aren't disgusted by me?"

I shook my head, "You are a guy, I know what goes through your mind. As long as you aren't as extreme as Gloss I won't have a problem with it."

He shook his head rapidly, "I swear on my sisters life I will never be as extreme as Gloss, he's just a douche."

I let out a sound that was a half laugh half snort thing, "You can say that again."

"Okay, I swear on my sisters life I will never be as extreme as gloss, he's just a douche." Marvel said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes with a smile and shoved him a little, he just laughed and put his arm around my shoulder. He took a bite of his own PB&J and sighed with delight.

"I must say, I'm an amazing cook." He joked slightly, though I could tell he was very pleased with himself.

"I have to agree, but what else can you make?" I asked after taking a few more bites of my PB&J

He looked at his sandwich in thought, "Anything you want, I can make it. All you have to do is ask."

"Really?" I was actually surprised, Marvel didn't strike me as the cooking type of guy.

Marvel nodded, "In college I took a cooking class, the college was known for its cooking classes actually."

I finished my sandwich and Marvel got out the watermelon that was cut into small pieces and he handed me a plastic fork.

"I thought you went to college for business school?" I asked, forking the watermelon and eating it.

He leaned back so that he was laying next to me on his side, his head up and leaning on his arm that was bent up at his elbow.

"Well... I was. I got my degree in business, but cooking was just a side thing for me. I enjoy it much more than I enjoy business. But business get's more money, and more money means stability. And that's important to me, I don't want my family to struggle for money." He said, looking down at his fork as he twirling it in between his fingers.

I put my fork away since I was full and then laid down next to Marvel, "I like that, that's good because I want the same. Everyone does really. And you know, I like a man that can cook." I smirked slightly up at him and he kissed my nose.

He smiled and pushed the watermelon away and opened his arms for me to snuggle up to him, "And I like a girl that will cuddle with me, and love my cooking." He said once I was cuddled up to him.

We laid down, doing nothing but being in each others company. I had my head resting on his chest with his arm around me and my arm draped across his stomach as I listened to the rhythm of his heartbeat and drew shapes on his stomach through his shirt.

"Marvie?" I asked, snuggling my head closer into his chest and stopping my hand, just letting it rest on his chest.

I felt his chuckle deep in his chest, I know he loves my nickname for him and that he finds it funny. "Yes?"

I lifted my head and rested my chin on his chest looking at him, "Should I be nervous to meet your family?"

He looked down at me, his eyes narrowed in confusion. "Why would you be? Just be yourself and they will love you." He kissed my forehead to reassure me.

I sighed and then lay my head back down, "Okay, if you say so."

OoO

Marvel led me to his apartment where we would be meeting his family. Before we got there I was assuming it wouldn't be big enough since he had a lot of people coming because apartments that 27 year old's buy tend to not be huge. But we got there and I was shocked.

It wasn't gigantic, but it most certainly wasn't small. It was small enough to have that cozy feeling, but large enough to have a lot of people over.

"I'll give you a tour." He said, taking my hand and pulling me with him.

It had only two bedrooms, but his room was very large with a king size bed and a very nice bathroom. The bathroom had a Jacuzzi and a long counter with two sinks. He also had a spacious closet next to the bathroom in his room. It was a small walk in that had his four suits and a lot of button ups as well as T-shirts.

The other bedroom was a guest room, it was painted a lighter shade of blue that was almost like a grayish white with a regular bed and a smaller closet.

Because it only had two rooms, that left more room for a large living room, and large it was. It had a long leather couch that was an 'L' shape facing a 50' in. TV that was hanging on the wall and was on the walls that were next to the windows and door leading out to his small terrace. In front of the couch was a glass coffee table, and he also had a love seat there too.

Then the kitchen which was probably my favorite out of the whole apartment. Since Marvel was a cook, he had a beautiful kitchen. It was also large, larger than most apartment kitchens. I looked at Marvel and I guess he noticed my confusion and wonder so he spoke up.

"There was a third bedroom, but I had it taken out and it the walls were knocked down to make more room for the kitchen." He explained.

I nodded and walked around the kitchen, he had granite counter tops with black cupboards. His microwave was above the stove and the stove was to the left of the fridge. The counter across from the stove had bar-stools so that you could eat at it. It really was a beautiful kitchen, and right off of it was a long table where we would be eating tonight.

"So, what do you think?" He asked, walking to the middle of the kitchen and looking at me.

"I think that this apartment is beautiful! It's amazing, I love your kitchen."

He walked back to me and directed me to the living room, sitting down on the couch and pulling me with him. I was sitting next to him with my head on his shoulder and his arm around me, our other hands interlocked.

"Kitty if you were to choose me, which I 100% hope you do, where would we live?"

I sighed and played with his fingers, "Well, I would move out here I guess. Prim is going to college at the end of this summer, right after meeting two of you guys. She is going with her boyfriend, which happens to be Gale's younger brother." I said, it was sad that I had only figured it out about two weeks ago.

"Are you being serious? Your little sister is dating Gale's little bro?" Marvel exclaimed with a laugh.

I nodded with a small laugh of my own, "I know, and I just figured it out a few weeks ago."

"How did you not figure that out?" He asked, still laughing.

I felt my cheeks heat up, "I figured there were multiple families with the last name Hawthorne. And I never knew he lived so close to me, I never put two and two together."

"And Prim going into college? What about that little tyke nursing kit we got at the arcade?" He joked, kissing the top of my head.

I shrugged, "It was just for shits and giggles. But anyways, I would move out here, I just don't know about my mother. I don't know what she would do. I guess she would have to go to the nursing home. She is 68, I just think that's too early."

"She can't take care of herself." Marvel reminded me. "It would be for the best."

"I know. And during the summer, where would Prim go? I mean, I guess she could go to her boyfriends but I feel as if that's too much to ask."

Marvel let go of my hands and I felt his finger directing my head to the side so that he could press his lips to mine. "Katniss, we can cross that bridge when we come to it. And it would be your sisters decision as well, let her figure it out with you."

I nodded, "Okay."

There was a knock at the door and Marvel was quick to get up and open it, me trailing behind him in my white dress. I had changed into it before we came back to this apartment.

He swung the door open to reveal a man standing there with his arms outstretched. I assumed it was his dad, tho he didn't look at all like Marvel. Just maybe the height.

(If you want to see what his dad looks like, it's just Jack Quaid's dad in real life "Dennis Quaid")

"Dad!" Marvel exclaimed, opening his own arms and hugging his father.

"It's good to see you son." His dad said after they pulled apart.

"It's good to see you too." Marvel said, walking back to me and putting his arm around my waist. "Dad, this is Katniss. Katniss, this is my father. Dennis."

I stepped forward and went to shake his hand but he pulled me in for a hug instead, surprising me.

"Katniss! It's great to meet you!" He said, letting me go.

"It's good to meet you too Mr. Johnson." I said, still slightly shocked from the hug.

"Please call me Dennis! Mr. Johnson makes me sound like my father!" He said with a huge smile that was very similar to Marvel's.

Marvel's arm went back around my waist as he led his father and me to the kitchen.

"Now that you're here, I guess I will start making dinner. Delilah and Harry should be here soon with Joey. And D.C will be here probably last minute. As for mom... who knows." He sighed, walking to a closet that was next to the kitchen and came back with an apron on that said 'Caution: Extremely Hot'. He walked up to me and I laughed at the apron.

"You like?" He did a little spin for me.

I nodded, "I'm not going to lie, you look really hot in that."

He winked at me, "I have another one for you to wear." He said, pulling it from behind his back. He gave it to me to put on and my eyes widened in shock.

"Why did you give me an apron?" I asked nervously.

"I don't want you to get your dress dirty." He said, walking back into the kitchen.

"Why would it get dirty." I asked hesitantly and skeptically.

He turned back to me and smirked, "You are helping me cook."

"Oh God." I said, stopping dead in my tracks. "Are you sure you want me messing it all up?"

"You won't mess it up, now put on your apron." He ordered.

I sighed and put it on, I looked down at myself and snorted. My apron had a caution sign and below the sign it said 'Hot stuff coming through!'

"I see a pattern in the aprons." I joked.

Marvel laughed as did his father, "Little Marv here loves designing aprons."

I nodded, "He's mentioned it a few times."

"Just a few? The reason this dork majored in business was because he wanted to own an apron business. A personalized apron place to be exact. Since he loves cooking, he incorporated it into his business."

I snuck a glance at Marvel who busied himself in getting everything ready for cooking.

"He never told me all that." I said, still looking at Marvel from the corner of my eye.

His dad shook his head, "He doesn't like telling people because it may not happen, it's a lot of money to do that. That's why he's working as an accountant for the business downtown. He's saving up I guess."

Marvel turned and walked back to me, "I was actually planning on telling you tonight, it was supposed to be a surprise." He gave his dad a short glare.

"Oops, sorry son." He said, looking away.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't know. But... I think it's going to happen. In a few months I may be the owner of an apron business, and you too if you wanted." Marvel offered.

I gave a small smile and looked down, "I'll think about that."

Marvel kissed my temple and then looked back at his dad. "Anyways, you want some wine or something to drink?"

"Got any Captain Morgan?" Dennis asked in his gruff voice.

Marvel laughed and got it out, "Just for you." I walked up to Marvel and took it from him.

"I got it." I poured it for his father and then handed it to him.

"Thanks darling." He said, drinking it straight up.

"Welcome." I walked back to Marvel and he smiled at me before leaning down and kissing me.

"Yeah, I've got to agree with the apron." He said, looking me up and down slowly.

"Did you make this one?" I asked, looking down at it.

"Kitty, do me a favor and go look in the closet that I got these out of." He answered instead.

I nodded and walked towards it, I opened it up and it was like apron wonderland. It was a small closet but there were aprons everywhere. I closed it and walked back to Marvel who had a grin on his face.

"Does that answer your question?" He asked, pushing off the counter to wrap his arms around my waist.

"You've started making them?" I answered with another question.

He shrugged, leaning down for a kiss "Gotta start somewhere."

"So son-" Dennis called from the living room, where which he moved to while I was looking in the closet. "-what's for dinner?"

Marvel sighed and let me go to answer his dad.

I looked at everything he pulled out, "Yeah, what are you making?"

"What are we making? We are making Pasta Siciliano." He corrected me.

"And I'm supposed to know what that is?" I asked with my eyebrows raised.

He laughed and explained the dish so soon enough we were cooking it together. He was standing behind me with his arms around me, helping me cook. Soon enough we heard another knock on the door.

"Keep stirring, I'll go get it." Marvel said, kissing my cheek before walking to the door. I had a view of it from where I was standing so I looked and I saw a women, a man, and a little kid no older than seven come in.

"Delilah, hey sis." Marvel said, enveloping her in a hug.

"Marv, I've missed you!" She said, hugging him back. His sister was about my height, she had long, wavy, dirty blonde hair and you could tell she was fit. She was gorgeous, I must say. She looked no older than 33.

"And Harry, you treating her right?" Marvel asked, shaking Harry's hand. Harry was a really big guy, not big as in fat but big as in muscular. He was close to Cato's size, just a bit shorter and not as bulked up. I guess he was more like Peeta in muscular appearance He had sleek black hair with a five o'clock shadow and bright blue eyes that his darker hair complimented.

"Of course." He responded, looking down at his wife with the utmost love and adoration. His voice was deep, he seemed to be around the age of 35.

"Uncle Marvel!" The little boy squealed, running to him and hugging him. Marvel smiled and lifted him up.

"Hey Squirt!"

"I'm not Squirt! I'm Joey!" Joey said with a pout.

Joey had his dads black hair a bright blue eyes, he was smiling and was missing one of his front teeth and a bottom tooth. He was an adorable little boy.

"Of course, of course." Marvel said, putting him down and taking them all to the kitchen. Marvel walked up to me and took my hand, turning me around to face them.

He introduced me to everyone, "Katniss, this is my sister, Delilah. Her husband, Harry, and their son, Squirt." Joey gave him another pout and Marvel corrected himself, "I mean Joey. And everyone, this is Katniss."

Delilah pulled me in for a hug and smiled at me, "It's so nice to meet you, it's not often Marvel brings anyone to meet the family."

Harry shook my hand and gave me a slight smile.

"He's kind of anti-social. Which is weird because my sister is the most out going person ever, she can't shut up sometimes." Marvel whispered in my ear, probably noticing my worry for Harry's reaction to my introduction.

I nodded and then went to Joey.

"Hi Joey, it's very nice to meet you." I said, kneeling by him.

He looked up at me with bright green eyes, much like Marvel's.

"Are you my new aunt?"

My eyes widened from shock but it quickly went away, I was going to answer but Marvel stepped in.

"Um, no Joey she isn't. But hopefully she will be." Marvel said, catching my eye.

I smiled at him and then turned back to Joey, "So, how old are you? Fifteen? Sixteen?" I joked.

He giggled and shook his head, "No silly! I'm only seven!"

"No, that can't be right! You look and act so much more mature!"

He laughed again and shook his head, "I'm sure! Just ask anyone!"

I smiled and stood up straight, Marvel standing next to me and wrapping his arm around me.

"Dad's in the living room if you want to go see him." Marvel said, pointing towards it.

"No mom?" Delilah questioned.

Marvel looked down and shook his head, I frowned and gave him a reassuring hug.

"It's okay, I'm sure she will make it."

"Don't count on it." He muttered back. "Uh, dinner will be ready in about fifteen minutes."

They nodded before heading to the living room, I watched as Joey ran to his grandad and jumped on his lap. Harry and Delilah sat on the love seat together. He had his arm around her, holding her close as they watched their son play.

"They are a cute pair, aren't they?" Marvel asked from beside me, startling me.

"Oh, um yeah. They really are."

"You know, that could be us some day." He whispered, looking into my eyes. His own filled with hope and excitement.

I smiled at him, not knowing how to respond. I decided to change the subject, "Let's finish this meal, I'm getting hungry!"

He sighed and agreed, "Good idea."

Once dinner was ready, Joey helped me set the table as Marvel talked to his sister.

"You are really good at this." I said as he made sure everything was perfection.

"Mommy and daddy make me set our table every night, so I'm a pro." He said proudly.

I smiled at him and he smiled back, "Do I need to set it for seven or eight?"

I thought for a second, "May as well set it for eight."

He nodded and I grabbed another plate, handing it to him for him to set it on the table.

Marvel POV

"You really love this girl?" My sister asked me once I led her out to the terrace.

I nodded, "I really do, it's kind of hard not to though." I chuckled, "I mean, they told me that to get a girl to fall in love with me I needed to make her laugh, but every time she laughs it's me who falls in love." I said, looking into the apartment, I had a view of the kitchen so I was able to see her and Joey laughing together.

"She's good with kids." Delilah noted.

I nodded, "She's good with everyone."

"Do you think she will choose you in the end?" She asked me softly.

I sighed and looked back at my sister, shaking my head. "I don't know, I really don't. I hope, of course. But the other guys are great as well. Other than Peeta maybe, he loves someone else. But that's a story for another time."

Delilah nodded, "Who else does she have a good connection with?"

"Cato." I said easily, "Definitely Cato, I honestly think she has the strongest bond between him and I. So, he's my biggest competition."

My sister walked up to me and gave me a hug, "I love you little bro. Everything will be alright in the end."

I smiled softly, "I love you too big sis. Now tell me how things with Harry are going, last time we talked you told me that you two hit a rough patch in your marriage."

She nodded, "We did, we fought a lot. Just because his work was bringing him so much stress and I was tired of doing everything myself. But we talked about it and he actually quit his job, he's now the manager of a really good company. And, well, things have never been better between us. We are more in love than ever."

"I'm glad, you two really are the best when together. Apart, well you are grumpy and moody. He's even more anti-social than usual. And you don't talk much, which is very rare for you. But when you two are together you are your happiest."

Katniss POV

Marvel came back inside and as soon as he did the doorbell rang.

"I bet that's DC, coming last minute as always." Delilah muttered, going back to her awaiting husbands arms.

Marvel got to the door and just before he opened it, it was swung open by a younger, bulkier version of Marvel. He was about an inch shorter than Marvel but he was definitely bulked up, he looked like Harry with his body tho he had a very light brown colored hair and green eyes.

"Marvel! Hey bro!" The guy, who I assumed was DC, said. Attacking Marvel in a hug.

"DC, it's good to see you again. I see you have been at the gym quite a lot." Marvel said, giving him a once over.

DC looked down at himself and nodded with a smile on his face that sort of reminded me on Finnick's smile. Not too cocky yet not too modest. "Yeah, coach has got us all on this exercise training thing to get ready for the season."

"I see, well come here. I want to you meet someone." Marvel said, leading his brother to where I was standing. "DC, this is Katniss. Katniss, this is DC."

DC's eyes widened as he looked me up and down, by now I had taken the apron off and my dress was fully showing.

"Damn Marvel, you scored a nice one!" He stated, giving Marvel a fist bump.

Marvel walked up to me with a small smirk and an eye roll for his brother, "I really did, she's perfect."

I smiled and didn't say anything even though I wanted to remind him I was, in fact, not perfect.

"It's a pleasure to meet you DC." I said, shaking his hand.

He took and and then kissed it, "The pleasure is all mine."

"Back off bro, this one's mine." Marvel said, pulling me closer and kissing my temple.

"Alright, fair enough. I've got a lot of college chics anyways. So when's dinner? I'm starved!" DC exclaimed, walking into the kitchen and getting a big whiff of it.

"Sorry about him, he can be a bit of a loud mouth at times." Marvel apologized.

I simply chuckled, "You don't have to apologize for your family, Marvel."

Marvel leaned down and kissed me, I could tell he wanted more but his family was here and I didn't want to leave a bad impression. He growled softly when I pulled away but I just simply blew him a kiss as I walked to everyone else who were getting ready to sit down.

"Katniss, whatever you and Marvel made smells delicious. I can't wait to taste it!" Dennis said, sitting down at the table.

"Uh dad, I think we are going to wait a bit longer for mom." Delilah said.

Dennis sighed and nodded, "Okay, if you say so."

Marvel walked up and shook his head, "Go ahead and sit down, we will give her five more minutes. If she doesn't come then we eat. No use in starving just for her."

I sighed and walked over to him, kissing his cheek. "Don't give up on her just yet."

He gave me a small smile and then pulled out my chair for me to sit down, I was in the middle of Marvel and Joey, his father at the head of the table and his sister at the other end, Harry on her right and Joey on her left. I was sitting across from DC who was next to Harry and Marvel was sitting across from his mothers empty seat.

We waited the five minutes, and I was getting nervous. Because what Marvel didn't know, was that I called his mom and asked her to come. She told me she would, so why wasn't she here?

"Okay, five minutes is up. She's not coming, I'll go get the food. Katniss, could you help me serve it?" Marvel asked, holding out his hand for me.

"Of course." I said and took his hand, just then the doorbell rang and I smiled. "I told you not to give up on her."

His eyes met mine and he went to the door, sure enough his mom was standing there. She was wearing a long cream colored dress as she walked in the door.

"There he is, my little boy all grown up." She said, pulling him in for a tight hug.

"Mom." Marvel breathed, surprised, "you made it."

She nodded, "I wouldn't miss this, plus your girlfriend over there called me to make sure I was coming."

Marvel's eyes snapped over to me and a huge smile burst across his face, "You called her?"

I shrugged, "Maybe."

He ran to me and picked me up and spun me around before setting me back on the ground and pressing his lips to mine in a loving kiss. "I love you, you are... you're just amazing and I love you so much." He said into the kiss.

I just kissed him back harder.

A cough interrupted us, we pulled apart to see everyone staring at us with small smiles of there own. Except Joey, he was shielding his eyes with a disgusted look on his face.

Marvel laughed as I buried my face in his chest, embarrassed beyond belief. His whole family just saw us making out.

"Well mom, as you already know, this is Katniss. Katniss this is my mom, Meg." (Again, just search 'Meg Ryan' to see what she looks like)

"Katniss, it's wonderful to finally meet you in person." Meg said while hugging me.

I smiled, "Same to you."

We finally all sat down and ate, needless to say it was quite delicious. No one talked because they were all too busy devouring their food. But when everyone was done, the conversation started up again.

"So mom, you missed your book signing after all?" DC asked her.

"Yes, of course I did. I wouldn't have missed this for the world."

Marvel took my hand from under the table and squeezed it, I looked over at him and he mouthed a thank you. I simply squeezed his hand back.

"I never knew you wrote a book!" I said, joining in on the conversation. "Marvel told me you had some book thing but I wasn't aware you actually wrote a book! That's amazing, what's it called?"

"It's not a very popular book, it's more for adults like you and I. But it's called 'Black Butterfly'" (All credit for this book goes to it's actual author, I just saw it on the bookshelf in my living room and decided to use it's name.)

For a while we all just talked about her book, Delilah excused Joey to go and play with his toys while we all talked.

"Actually, Katniss, I want to steal you for a moment to talk to you." Delilah said with a warm smile.

I looked over at her and grinned back, "Okay, yeah sure. I will clean up when I get back."

"Oh no, there's no need for that babe. I can do it." Marvel reassured.

I shook my head, "Seriously, I will do it. You can help, but I'm definitely cleaning up."

Marvel grinned at me and then kissed my cheek, "Okay. Don't be too long, I'm gonna miss you!" He joked.

I gave him a small laugh, "I'll try to be back soon." I then got up and followed Delilah into the living room and then out onto the terrace.

"I just want to get right to the point, I know you have feelings for Marvel. I can tell, I don't want to ask you about your feelings with the other guys or anything like that. I just want to make sure you know, Marvel will care for you. He will love you and make sure you are okay. He care's for you a lot, I can see it. Plus he told me."

"I know, I know he will and I know he cares for me. I care for him too, a lot. I actually just found out I'm not supposed to say 'I love you' back to any guy though. So, oops because I already did. I said it to Cato and now I feel bad because even if I do love Marvel or anyone else for that matter, I can't tell them. And I already told Cato..."

Delilah laughed slightly and nodded, "What happens, happens. There isn't anything you can do about it. But if you do love him, he knows. You can always tell by a persons actions if they love you or not. And I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I believe you love my brother."

I wish I could have told her she was right. That may be, but even so I love Cato as well. And my love for Cato is completely different, Cato... he's wormed his way into my heart and it's crazy to think just how much he means to me.

"I wish I could tell you if you were right or not." Was all I responded with.

She looked down and nodded, "Me too, but sisters know best right?"

I laughed and agreed before we went back inside. Marvel and I did the dishes just like we said we would, with a few kisses here and there. By the time we were done, it was about time for me to go.

I said goodbye to his family and he walked me down to the lobby and to the taxi. His eyes were glassy and he held me tight as we hugged. Then we pulled apart slightly and he kissed me, his kiss showed that he loved me and it showed just how much he cared for me.

When we pulled away he gave me a sad smile, "I'll see you soon, I love you and be safe."

I kissed him again before opening the taxi door.

"Bye Marvel, I'll see you soon." Then I shut the taxi door and it drove off, and right before it did Marvel spoke again.

"I love you!"

I smiled at him and blew him a kiss, my way of saying it back without using words or being able to physically kiss him since we were driving away.

Long Beach, California here we come.
