A/N: So Everlark in this chapter!
Katniss' POV
Thresh took me to a very nice ice cream shop with the best ice cream I have ever tasted! After that we exchanged numbers with promises to keep it touch. After we parted ways I headed back to the hotel. At first I was a bit mad that we all had to be here, but I mean this is an incredible experience. And there is tons of space in the hotel suite, just this morning I opened what I though was a closet but turned out to be a door leading to a hallway with another bedroom and bathroom! Plus I think this will be a very interesting summer, I can't stop thinking about Peeta! I mean I know I have a date but is it bad that I can only think about Peeta and his magnificent blue eyes, perfect body, charming words, and oh so much more!
I snort to myself, as if that perfect god would pay attention to me, plain 'ol Katniss. Oh well. I go up to the hotel suite and find that only Peeta is there. Well how in the world was I able to get so lucky? Damn this will be awkward... I walk to where Peeta is and hear him singing along to the F.U.N song in Spongebob.
F is for friends who do stuff together
U is for you and me
N is for
"Ahem" I interupt his singing, snickering to myself as he turns with a shocked expression gracing his beautiful face.
"Oh...um...hey I-I Um didn't hear you come in." he stutters, his face bright red.
"It's fine, hey are you hungry?" I ask.
"Oh uh yeah, why?"
"Would you I don't know consider getting lunch with me?" I squeak out the last part.
He chuckles "Only if you let me pay" He says playfully yet serious.
"Ugh FINE!" I tease, "But let me pay for dessert?"
"Let me just get changed ok?"
"Yeah me too."
I changed into some black skinny jeans. I grabbed a grey tank top with thick straps and a low neckline and a white undershirt and pulled them on.
I pulled on my grey vans and went to wait for Peeta. He emerged a few minutes later with some black jeans and a grey button up and white undershirt. The button up was open and the sleeves rolled up.
"Hey is it twin day?" He asked jokingly.
"Yeah I guess it is.."
"I can change if you want?"
"Nah that's fine I'm starving, let's go"
"OK" He replied.
We walked out of the hotel and saw there were a lot of people walking around. While looking for a place to eat, I got distracted and lost Peeta. I was alone in a foreign place now. Damn, what am I going to do? Panic surged in me. What if I can't find my way back? Maybe if I keep walking I can find Peeta. I continued walking and stopped when I felt a hand on my back. I turned and saw Peeta. I threw myself into his arms, happy I wasn't alone and happy I hadn't lost him.
He hugged me back uncertainly and then we continued looking for a place to eat. I held on tightly to Peeta's hand, afraid to get lost again. Not because I like him or feel safe when touching him, and absolutely not because I loved his warmth and how his large strong hand enveloped mine. We found a nice little cafe and sat on one of the tables outside. A waiter brought us our menus and we ordered.
Once we got our food Peeta stared at my plate and me at his, we ended up sharing our meals and laughing when I got tomato sauce on my nose. After we paid, we got up and once again I clinged onto Peeta's hand. We found this frozen yogurt place and headed inside. When we reach the counter, the woman looks up, she looks to be in her late 30's. She smiles when she sees are hands and says,
"voi ragazzi fare la coppia più carina!" (That means "You guys make the cutest couple!") I see Peeta's confused look so I assume he doesn't understand Italian.
"Grazie a voi, ma noi non siamo insieme" ("Thank you but we are not together")
"Questo è un peccato" ("That's a shame")
"So che è davvero bello" ("I know he really is handsome")
After we get our yogurt and are outside Peeta speaks up, "You know I speak Italian right?" He says with a smirk.
Well, shit. My cheeks flare up and I stay quiet.
"You really think I'm handsome"
I cough uncomfortably "Uh maybe..."
He chuckles and we head to the hotel. This summer is totally going to be interesting...
