Chapter 6 : Lovers in Japan

"Lovers keep on the road your on, Runners until the race is run

Soldiers you've got to soldier on, Sometimes even right is wrong" - ColdPlay, Lovers In Japan

Its been about 6 weeks since we got to the capital and its taken some getting use to it all. I called Prim the second we landed and all she keep asking was what celebrities I've seen and to send her pictures.

They moved us into a awesome penthouse apartment. It has 3 bedrooms and three baths. Dark hardwood floors and cream walls. High ceiling in the common areas and bedrooms. 2 wall to floor windows in the living room with a flatscreen and gas fire place.

The kitchen has dark cabinets and stainless steel appliances with a hug island in the middle. All the bedrooms have a walking closet and attached full bathroom. Plus the balcony overlooking the water.

Its all so amazing but the guys have barley had anytime to enjoy it.

I've seen very little of Peeta with all the studio and practice time they had to put in. The studio also had them doing small shows and opening for bigger names at concerts.

They hoped to build a fanbase before the awards so they wouldn't be just some random band performing.

It seemed to be working, the more promotions they did, the more positive feed back came in. They now had a band page on all the big social media platforms with at least 3500 followers.

I know he cant help it and I shouldn't be mad because I made the choice to come here with him but I am.

I miss spending time with him. The only time we talk anymore is when he comes back and most times he sleep within five minutes.

Most times its just Annie, Jo and I trying to figure out what to do. I don't know how many more times I can go shopping and out to eat. We don't know our way around yet so we try and stay close.

The record company is sending over a stylist for us today so thats exciting I guess.

Effie Trinkett, their manager says we have to look camera ready and simple mall dresses just will not do.

She's really annoying and her voice makes me want to cut my own ears off. Needless to say we cont really get along.

I get up to shower and brush my teeth before meeting Jo and Annie for the fitting. I throw on some sweats and a t shirt knowing I'm just going to have to change anyway.

Walking into the living room I find a man with his back to me arranging dresses on a rack.

"Hi, uh who are you?"

He turns around and smiles. " Hi I'm Cinna, your stylist.".

I nod and shake his hand.

"Ok so lets get this started" he says after Jo and Annie come in. He looks over each one of us before pulling out three dresses off the rack.

The first dress he hands to Annie. Its a purple bubble dress with a pretty sweetheart neck line.

The next is tight short black and gold dress with a deep V neck line which obviously belong to Johanna.

The last one he hands to me, a pale pink tube dress with a long chiffon skirt. He tells us to try them on and see how they fit.

I slip in to the dress and get Annie to zip me up. Its perfect. Cinna smiles widely gesturing with his finger for me to twirl and I do. The dress is beautiful and makes me feel beautiful in it.

Annie and Jo needed minor adjustments but other wise happy with his choices too.

Cinna tells us that his team will be with him the day of for hair and make up.

Then he goes over what shoes and accessories he'll bring and how we shouldn't worry about anything.

The rest of the day goes by uneventfully slow so I decide to just go in my room and get an earlier start on sleep. After about an hour I hear Peeta come in and climb into bed with me.

" Hey, stranger" I say trying to keep the edge of out of my voice.

After a minute of silence I turn over to see he is in fact sleep. I sigh in frustration and turn back over to try and sleep myself.

The next morning I wake up and am surprised to still see Peeta laying there. I sit up against the head board and poke him in the forehead. His eyebrows furrow together and I laugh.

He opens his eyes slightly trying to adjust to the light.

" morning " I say brushing the loose blonde curls out of his eyes.

He smiles and mirrors my position "morning beautiful".

" Do you have to leave for practice or something?"

He shakes his head " nope not until soundcheck tomorrow morning. I'm all yours" he says wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

" Oh really, is that right" I say moving to straddle his waist. I've missed the feel and taste of his lips. He pulls me closer into his lap and snakes his hands under my night shirt.

"I need to take a shower"

Peeta smiles and places a kiss on my jaw, neck and collarbone. " So do I, we should take one together."

I look at him with my eyebrows raised and he gives me a sheepish smile " you know, to save water and shit".

"Is that so Mellark?"

He nods and I get up and began to shed my clothes walking toward the bathroom.

I look back at him one last time before stepping out of my panties " you coming? We have to save water and shit right?" I say in my best seductive voice.

I watch his face still in shock and his Adams apple bob up and down before he mimic's my actions and follows me in.

Peeta and I spend the rest of the day with just the two of us. I show him the giant luxury pool in our complex and try to teach him to swim.

Then we go to the board walk and eat cheese fries and shop. I bought bunch of tourist stuff to send to Prim and Haymitch. Peeta buys a shark tooth neck he swears is cool but really just makes him look like a wanna be surfer.

When we notice it getting dark we hurry to the beach to see the sun setting. I take a picture and tell Peeta he has to paint it for me one day.

" Im sorry I haven't been around so much, I know its bothering you"

I sigh shaking my head " its fine Peeta, I know you have a lot practice and this performance is a big deal. I'm just use to getting to spend time with you whenever I want".

He smirks and kisses me nose " I love you Kat, I swear I couldn't do any of this without you".

I smile leaning my back against his chest and savor the feeling of his arms around me. This moment is so perfect I wish I could freeze it and stay her forever.

But unfortunately it becomes too dark to stay and we trudge back home to shower and sleep.

***M&B***

I wake up around the next day and of course Peeta is already gone. I sit up and quickly regret it when my stomach lurches.

I quickly jump in the bathroom and empty my stomach of last nights dinner and probably that midnight snack I ate.

Serves me right for eating two ice cream sandwiches at three in the morning.

I brush my teeth and head out to the kitchen for a bottle of water. Johanna is sitting on the couch watching Maury with a bowl of popcorn in her lap, while Annie reads in one of the arm chairs.

"Morning girls"

"Check again sleeping beauty its past noon" Jo says looking at me. Reading the clock on the way I see she is indeed right, its 12:30.

Damn I must have been wiped out from yesterday.

" What time do all the festivities start" I ask.

Annie looks up from her book and checks her phone. " you've got about an hour and a half to prepare according to this schedule Effie emailed me yesterday".

Ugh, great. Effie decided Annie was the most responsible out of the three of us so she get all the info, which is totally fine with Jo and I.

I hurry an make a spinach, cheese and mushroom omelet to eat while I sit and watch mindless TV with Jo and Annie.

We were ending our second episode of jerry springer when Cinna arrives with his team of stylist. In a matter of minutes our penthouse was turned into giant beauty room.

Cinna makes his way over and introduces Octavia, who will be working with Annie, Flavius whose working with Jo and Venia who is helping me.

The boys arrive around 3 and are whisked away by their stylist and Cinna's partner Porsha

By 5pm were all waxed, plucked, showered with hair and make up done.

Venia helps me into my dress, shoes and accessories as she gushes over me and tells me she can't wait to see Peeta's reaction.

I see Octavia and Flavius doing the same to Annie and Jo which makes me feel a hell of a lot better.

When were finally done we huddle up and compliment each before we hear the boys make their way out to the living room.

They each have on the same type of suit. Black jeans, black v neck shirt and a fitted black blazer with a pocket hanky to match each of our dresses.

I notice Porsha must have tamed Peeta's unruly blonde curls and I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed, I love them that way.

He takes in my whole appearance and smiles " damn you look gorgeous, baby"

" thank you, you don't look so bad your self" I say with a smile.

He quirks and eyebrow up at me " really, cause I feel like a backstreet boy".

" Haven't you heard backstreet boys are back" I laugh. He shakes his head and I take a picture of us to send to prim later.

Effie arrives ten minutes later and leads us to a limo that will take us to the awards.

Well no turning back now.
