Chapter 4: "Best day of my life"

" I had a dream so big and loud. I jumped so high I touched the clouds

Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh. I stretched my hands out to the sky

We danced with monsters through the night. Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh" -American Authors, Best Day Of My Life

What the hell did he just say?

I looked at him shocked and at a loss for words.

"Katniss?" He says gently.

I couldn't possibly go, what about Prim. This is her first year in high school, I can't leave her alone. I know Haymitch could take care of her no problem but she's my responsibility.

"Katniss?" He tries again.

Finally I find my voice and say " what about prim? I can't leave her Peeta."

His face falls and I see the disappointment in his eyes " of course, I'm sorry Kat".

"Catnip she'll be fine. My mother is still around to help plus Rory and Vick will look after her in school. You've always put everyone else first, what about you Katniss. This would a chance to get out and see the world." Gale pleads.

He makes a good case but I still don't know. What if Prim needs me. I cant just abandon her like our mother did

"Why don't you think about it and give me an answer later Ok?" Peeta says.

I nod my head and he gives he light kiss on the cheek.

" Alright lames we need to celebrate. How about we meet up tonight and party. I'll text you guys the details." Jo says.

We all agree and part ways. I drop Jo and Annie at home and then head to mine to talk to Haymitch.

Luckily when I get there he up and hasn't had a chance to get shit faced yet. " Hey sweetheart"

I give him a wave and a tight smile following him into the kitchen " Haymitch I need to talk to you about something".

He grabs some toast from this morning and sits at the table " what is it sweetheart, I swear I don't have any money. Your sister beat you to it this morning.".

I chuckle knowing he can't say no to Prim. no one can really, she's too adorable.

She had Peeta bringing her cookies and treats every time he'd pick me up.

"I don't want your money Haymitch. Gales band kind of got picked up by this record company and they're going to LA…"

He looks at me and holds his hand up to stop me " so the question your dancing around is can you go with your little boy toy right?".

" He asked me to go with him, yes but I told him I had to talk with you first about Prim". He nods head and I continue " it's not that I don't want to go but I don't think I could leave Prim.

She's my responsibility and I can't just leave her like our mom did us.".

Sighing Haymitch drops his toast and looks me in the eyes " looks sweetheart don't hold your life up just because of Prim. I know I'm not the best role model but i'll try my best for her. Your father would want you to get out and explore the world. Prim will be fine, she's not little anymore. She doesn't need you to hold her hand every step of the way."

He's right of course, she basically told me herself this morning.

"So when do you leave?" He says with a smirk. I roll my eyes.

" Beginning of next week."

" Well have fun sweetheart" he says taking his toast and moving to the living room.

***M&B***

" Hey little duck. Can we talk" I ask coming in her room.

She nods and pats the space on her bed next to her.

" So you know that Gales band had an audition today. They got offered a chance to play in the capital at an pre party for the music awards."

Prim nods vigorously " yeah Gale called Rory while we out shopping. He's going to be so famous! Omg Katniss were going to know an actual famous person".

I laugh " Yeah, well Peeta asked me to go with him and I thought I might go but I wanted to make sure you were Ok with it first. If you don't feel comfortable with staying here with Haymitch that's fine I'll stay , it's up to you."

She nods taking a second to think about it.

After a minute she sighs and smile up at me "Katniss I think you should go, I'm fourteen now. I love you and I'll miss you but I'll be fine. Haymitch is great. He likes me better anyway. You should go and have fun."

I smile giving Prim a tight hug. We stay embraced until my phone starts to buzz alerting me I have a text.

I look down and see its Jo with the details for tonight. Apparently she got the penthouse hotel room in the hotel we stayed at.I wonder what dirt she dug up on her dad this time.

Prim and I hangout for the rest of the day looking at the clothes she bought and hearing about her nerves for high school. She helps me pick out an outfit for tonight which ends up being some black skinny jeans and nice graphic T when its time for me to head over to the hotel.

When I get there I walk over to the elevator and press the top floor number.

I reach the room and walk in to see everyone already here. Jo and gale are making drinks in the kitchen, Finn and Annie on the couch and Peeta is walking over to meet me.

" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out earlier. I know we haven't known each other long but I just thought it be fun to go together and spend more time together. I don't want you to feel pressured to go and leave Prim. I would never do that to you."

I smile and kiss him tenderly " Peeta I talked to Prim and Haymitch. They both want me to go. I want to go, if you'll still have me".

A wide smile takes over his face and I can see all his perfect white teeth. "really, your going? Am I dreaming?"

I shake my head and laugh at him. He grins and then lifts me off the floor and spins me around shouting "she's going everybody!"

I hear whoops and whistles and I can't contain my laughter.

Peeta puts me down and steadies me in his arms until the room stops spinning.

Gale and Jo come in the living room with shot glasses " alright people lets get it on!"

It burns going down and I make a sour face which makes Peeta laugh.

After an hour and four shots later the penthouse is packed with people. Jo must have invited our whole generation.

I take turns dancing with Annie and Jo until I make my way over to Peeta. He grins at me and I hold my hands out for him to come dance with me.

It's probably all the alcohol I've consumed that's giving me courage but I don't care, all I want to do is dance.

He grabs my hands and lets me pull him to the middle of the crowd. I put my back to his front and began to rock my hips to the song. Peeta's hands find my hips and push me back into him. I wrap my arms around his head and we rock to the rhythm together like we're the only ones in the room.

Grinding my ass into him earns me a low groan, so I do it again and Peeta bends down to my ear whispering " what are trying to do to me?"

He place a kiss on the sensitive skin below my ear and then sucks lightly. I lean my head for better access and he chuckles.

I turn around so that I'm face to face kissing him. He quickly moves to deepen it, pulling me closer to him by my hips. I break away first panting and breathless.

"Bedroom" I whisper to him. He kisses my one last time before I lead him off across the penthouse.

As soon as the doors closed Peeta's lips are back on my mine. I moan as I feel his tongues slide into my mouth and his hands fiddling with hem of my shirt.

Breaking apart I strip my shirt off along with my bra and Peeta looks at me in shock before quickly matching my actions.

I push him back onto the bed and straddle him with my knees on either side of his hips.

My lips find their way back to his rocking my hips with his. He moans into my mouth and I grin against his lips.

His hands come up my sides and cup my breast rolling my nibbles with his thumbs.

"Peeta"

My breath hitches in my throat and my breathing becomes erratic. He sits up with me in his lap looking at me through glassy eyes as he moves down to catch one nipple in his mouth.

My breathing stops and I feel electric pulses race straight to my core. Peeta continues his ministrations moving from one to the other while my fingers run wild through his hair and the back of his neck.

The feeling he's giving me is so good but I need more and I can tell Peeta is thinking the same by how hard he feels underneath me.

I pull Peeta back and run my hands from his shoulder down his chest and trace the line of blonde hair that disappears in his pants.

" Peeta I need more.."

His eyes widen and he nods flipping us over in one quick motion. He trailing kisses from my neck to my collarbone and down past my breast only stopping at the top of my jeans.

He looks up at me for a silent approval and I nod and he undoes my button hooking his fingers on the sides of my jeans and panties.

Once I'm bare in front of him, he stands and rids himself of his jeans and boxers quickly.

I reach out for him and he hovers over me looking into my eyes searching for any hint of doubt before continuing.

I smile at him bring my hands to his chest and down past his stomach stroking him. He is thick, hot and hard as steel.

" God Katniss, that feels amazing" he says kissing me soundly. I stroke him a few more times before moving him to my folds.

"Please Peeta" I whisper. His eyes flutter close and he nods silently. He replaces my hand with his and I grab hold of his shoulders when I feel him slide in.

We both cry out at the contact, him more from pleasure.

Peeta leans down kissing me with as much focus as he can muster and I wrap my legs around his waist bringing him deeper.

"Fucking shit" he mumbles in my shoulder.

His movement start to become erratic and I can tell he's about to fall off the edge.

I feel his hand move down and touch me making me moan and meet his thrust faster.

"Fuck. Are you ready Kat, I'm gonna cum, I need you to cum with me" he pants out cause me to fall off the edge bringing him with me.
