Chapter 5 :) So I`m like pretty sure I failed that Geo :p Anyways this chapter isn`t the best right now cause kinda a down day :( But writing cheered me up :) Enjoy!
I wake up up in a double bed and a room with pink wallpaper, then suddenly I remember everything from the past day and where I am, me kissing Gale, Gale kissing me back, that redhead giving me the evil glare, Gales home then drifting off into a very peaceful sleep.
I lay in bed for another 10 minutes wondering what I'll say to get when I see him, if I'll bring up the kiss or ask who the girl was. Maybe he dated her, she must have liked him, did he like her?
I hear him get out of bed and go downstairs, probably to make breakfast. I get into my hunting pants, long sleeve shirt and put socks on. I slip out of the door and brush my teeth then make my way downstairs where I smell bacon and eggs, I follow the smell until I'm in the kitchen and see him flipping two eggs.
"Good morning" I say trying to act casual and not to burst with questions
"Mornin', Just making breakfast. I see your in your hunting clothes, shame there aren't any hunting places round here for us" He says solemnly
"Yeah" I say slowly, then out of nowhere I just say "Who was that girl? With the red hair?"
He stops what he's doing and looks up abruptly, "Someone I work with, her name is Ariel, she's a year older than you, and just moved here from district 3"
"Wow, you seem to know a lot about her" I say and coldly
He turns red and looks at the ground, "Like I said, I work with her"
I turn and sit on one of the stools from the counter, "I'm thinking of leaving tomorrow, I should get back and see Haymitch and Peeta"
"But you just arrived! I mean they're isn't really much to do now but it would be great to spend more time with you"
He reaches out and touches my hand but I pull away without even thinking
"Is this about the kiss" He asks with his hand reached out on the counter where my hand used to be
I put my lips together and make a straight line, I turn to the window and see a bird eating from a bird feeder, half empty and stuck. I guess even birds have problems, but not like mine, they do however still have to always be in search for food. Must be tough.
I turn back to see Gale studying my face, too bad my face is expressionless.
"Katniss, I miss you. I miss my hunting buddy, my only hunting buddy, but favorite hunting buddy. My best friend, the girl I love most in this world, except your pretty tied up with my family on that one" He says with a smile which only make me laugh
"Yeah well I haven't found another hunting buddy yet so same goes for you" I say laughing
"Good"
"Gale, come back" I say unexpectedly
"Catnip, I would if I could but my family moved here as well, I can't just leave them!"
"Then bring them, we have houses where I'm staying, please, please, please Gale. Just come." I plead
He looks in my eyes then looks away, "I'll think about it" he says, and with that he turns away grabs two plates and serves us breakfast.
-2:00-
I'm sitting on the couch reading a book when I hear a door open
"Katniss, I'll be in the shower!" he yells down to me then slams the door shut and starts the shower
I'm reading this book about a poor man who gives his food to a rich person to eat… Shouldn't it be vice versa? I get up to go make a pot of tea when I hear the doorbell ring, I hesitate but put the book down and open the door.
I see the shoes first, they're blue heels, expensive, then I see a pink dress and look up to a girl with red hair, Ariel.
"Hi" she says, "is Gale here?"
"Why?" I say coldly
"Oh, just needed to talk to him" she says without looking away from me
I stare at her back and say, "He's in the shower, I'll tell him you came by."
I go to close the door but she reaches her foot out and stops it
"Are you his girlfriend?" She asks
"If I am?"
"Well, here's some advice, stay away." And with that she removed her foot and walks down the pathway out of sight.
I close the door just as Gale comes down
"Who was that?" He asks curiously
"Oh just some people who have the wrong house." I say casually
"Well I hope they find who they're looking for" I turn away from the door and continue to make my pot of tea as he sits down and says, "So I was thinking of going out to this fancy restaurant with the money I earned this week, we do have to dress up however"
"Sounds good, even though fancy isn't really my style I'll try it out, and fortunately I brought a dress Cinna made me" I put the pot on the stove and grab my book
"Have you read this?"
"No, why? Is it good?" He asks
"No, it's the worst ever" I tell him everything that happens and we end up laughing at the book together.
I end up laughing so hard that I can't breathe and he carries me to the couch which makes him laugh, we both end up laughing until our stomachs hurt and we fall asleep tangled up on the couch.
