Hi, this is my first fanfic, so don't be very exigent hahahaI hope you like it though


I wake up when the alarm in my phone goes off. fuck, is it already eight am? I feel like I just went to bed last night. I could sleep a bit after 5 am, blame Jo and her stupid boy of the week.

I get out of bed and go to the bathroom with the intention of having a shower and brushing my teeth before having to go to that stupid scheduled reunion with that guy the man of the phone told me to speak to. Oh, how I could take a warm shower now, I'm so tired I am barely containing my eyes open.

I suddenly remember I didn't take my towel with me, and as I open the bathroom door to go get it, I crash with a heavy body. "sorry" he says. I would recognize that voice anywhere.

"Gale?"

I look up and see his gray eyes, so much like mine staring at me wide open in surprise. He is wearing the same clothes he was wearing yesterday when I left him and Johanna on the bar claiming to having work to do, and he has his black hair in a mess.

"What are you doing here? Wait-" There is no way he was the one with Jo yesterday night, right? "Please don't tell me it was you the one who kept me up all night"

"I-I'm sorry, Catnip" And there it is. Gale doesn't apologize much so he must feel like it's a big deal or that I am going to get mad or something. I'm not, I swear, it is just so weird.

" Oh my god, I was definitely not expecting it, but I'm not pissed, just shocked" He lets a breathe relieved and I just can wish for this not to get any more weird. And then, just to prove my bad luck, Joanna's door opens and she comes outside wearing a robe tied around her waist. She stares at us for a moment like thinking about what to say.

"do we have any eggs left, brainless?"

Now I can't contain my laugh as I make my way to take that damn towel and I enter the bathroom to finally take my fucking shower.

As I am letting the warm water run over my body I think about what I had just discovered. It is not unusual for Jo to bring a guy home Friday nights, so I didn't really think Gale would be her partner for the night. I just wish things don't get awkward after this. I don't want my best friend and my roommate and friend tiptoeing around each other because of this. If I think about it, they would make a good couple. They both have strong personalities but they had always kept along just fine. It would take some time to adapt to seeing them as a couple but they could be good together. I guess I will have to interrogate them separately later. Also, they seemed to be having fun yesterday judging by the moans I heard. This leads me to think how I haven't had sex for three months now, since I broke up with Darius, they guy I had been dating for a couple of months. I can't say I don't miss sex, but I just can't do one night stands, that's not for me, I guess. So for the moment, I will have to stick with my vibrator. Also, I don't need a relationship right now, I have to stay focused on other things.

I get out of the shower and as I walk in my towel to my room by the corridor I can hear Gale and Jo talking. Good, they will need to sort it out I guess.

I stand by my closet deciding in what would be a good option to go to a meeting with this property company employee. It is a beautiful spring day, so I finally settle by some beige culotte jeans and a white button up with some knit vest. I put on my white high converse's before getting my purse and putting my sunglasses on my head.

I walk past them in the kitchen and I tell Jo I'll be back for lunch. It seems like she will be having lunch with some work friends so I'll be alone. That's not a problem for me though, I like being alone. I hug them bye and tell Gale I'll call him later, I want to ask him about Jo.

As I walk down the streets of New York I check I have my parent's house keys on my purse. Since mom died nearly a year ago, the house has been empty. With Prim in second year of medical school, we are a bit tight when it refers to money, so selling the house would help a lot. It is both sad and relieving to sell it, I guess, but we didn't really had an option.

The property company isn't far from my flat, so I don't bother with the car. I arrive earlier than expected so I decide on going to the coffee shop nearby to have some breakfast. I get an iced latte with almond milk and I make my way to the company drinking it. By the time I arrive, the coffee is gone and the streets are crowded.

I get inside and a noisy woman with super high silettos, colourful clothes and a bright yellow wig greets me by the counter.

"Hello dear, how may I help you?" I am distracted by her sing-songey voice, so I nearly miss what she said.

"Uh, hi, I am supposed to meet with Mr Abernathy I think..?"

"Sure honey, what's your name?"

"Katniss Everdeen" She tells me to go to the second office on the left, and so I do.

As I enter the office, a strong alcohol smell hits my nose. A man in his fifties is sitting not in a very gracious way with a flask in one hand and a pen in the other one. His greasy hair looks like could use a shower, and he has various stains in his clothes.

"Well hello sweetheart, have a seat. I suppose You are Katniss Everdeen?" Did he just call me sweetheart? I already hate him.

"I'm not anyone's sweetheart" I reply. He just snorts and takes a sip from his flask. When it's clear he is not gonna say anything else, I guardedly sit down.

"well then, you want to us to sell your house?"

I nod cautiously and he writes something in a sheet of paper. We talk for like half an hour about the procedure and he tells me he is going to associate me to one of his employees to go see the house and he tells me he will be doing the majority of the work, looks like Haymitch, the man, has a lot of work so he just gives some to his employees. He tells me he is his best one and that he will make sure the house is well-sold. Peeta Mellark that's his name, he says. Looks like Haymitch is a drunk, but he knows what he is doing, so I guess he'll have to do

I leave the office, and when I am about to go outside, I feel someone watching me. I turn around and I am surprised to lock them with the most beautiful and most blue pair of blue eyes I had ever seen. As I look him up and down, I see the most attractive guy ever. I already feel the effect he is having on me, damn. He is wearing a tight sweater with a peacoat and light jeans. His hair is blonde and curly and in a perfect mess. He is tall, but not extremely, like around 5'11, I'll say. He has got broad shoulders and the most delicious jawline ever. I find myself wanting to kiss his rounded lips and run my tongue through his jaw. Wait, what?! He has the cutest freckles ever seen and you can tell he is strong with defined muscles. Damn he is the best fucking looking man ever.

I can't seem to stop to look at him, and he seems to be suffering from the same. Then he smiles at me, the most beautiful smile I have ever seen, and before I have time to return it, our trance is brocken when one other guy waves a hand in his face.

Then I find myself standing here with my panties totally dump and I can't seem to get out of here soon enough, it seems.
