Ok I got bored today and wrote what came to my mind... A little cute thing. Hope you like it :)
"What are you doing?" Bryce asked walking up behind Emma. She jumps, slamming her palm into her chest.
"Putting these flowers in here" she says turning back to her large pot.
"Oh… looks good" he says rubbing the back of his neck.
"Sure…" she mutters grabbing another pot of flowers. He stands there for a few more minutes. "Bryce?" she asks looking up at him.
"Yeah?" he loves the way she says his name. It's a mix of… perfect. That sounds bad. Oh he missed what she said. "What?"
"You're blocking my sun" Her eyebrow rises.
"Oh sorry" he shuffles off to the side. He makes a study of her hair. The way it's tied off in a side ponytail curling over her shoulder glowing when the sun catches it right. I clear my throat. "So… Henry" Her head snaps up and I star into her dark blue eyes challenging.
"What about him?" she says shucking off her gardening gloves, and standing up, with her hands on her hips.
"You're going out with him" I state even if it follows with a growl of jealously.
"NO I'm not… Who told you that?" she squeals
"People"
"No I'm not going out with Henry" her eyes drop to her light blue rain boots and she picks up the empty pots to put them away. I sigh in relief. I'll kill Eden next time I see him.
"Oh ok" I say helping her with the pots, she smiles- which has started to take my breath away and we walk into the shed. They come back out and Emma returns to picking at her colorful pots. I lean casually against her house and smile watching her.
… (Inside)…
"No way"
"You can't tell?"
"They can't- They won't" Gale struggled. Katniss continued to roll her eyes.
"Oh please, Gale" Katniss turned, looking out the window once again. Her daughter was arranging flowers in a pot. While Bryce, Gale's son, stood leaning against the house watching curiously. Emma brushed back her hair.
"I guess Hawthorne boys like blondes" Gale pointed out when Madge walked in. She smiled as Katniss told her Peeta's hunch. "How long has this been going on?" He asked tossing a blueberry into his mouth.
"Not long- He just realized she was a girl" Katniss and Madge laugh. Gale just shakes his head his expression shut off away from any smiles.
"Oh come on Gale… its sweet" Madge nudges him and leans into his side so his arm falls around her. His face softens at the sight of her smile and he shrugs again. Peeta is still staring out the window. Everyone watches him.
"It's ok if my daughter doesn't go out with a Hawthorne" he beams after he caught them staring. Katniss starts cracking up. Gale thinks for a moment.
"I think it's ok if my son doesn't go out with a Mellark" Finally both Katniss and Madge narrow their eyes.
"Guys" they said stopping them before an argument broke out. The current glare between the two men snapped as they looked at their wives. The backdoor opens and everyone looks over at the blonde stepping in. She looks up a little surprised at all the staring faces and throws her thumb facing outside.
"Bry and I are going to the lake" Katniss and Madge nod in unison and Emma's hair flops as she skips off with the Hawthorne son. They return to the window and catch sight of the two teens walk towards the woods. Madge and Katniss walk off to talk and Gale and Peeta stand against the counter watching the kids. Emma looks up at Bryce and laughs and Bryce looks down and laughs also. They stop for a moment and look at each other.
"If they kiss" Gale and Peeta begin at the same time causing them to look at each other. They quickly look back. Holding back snickers. Emma reaches over and takes Bryce's hand and they continue their walk into the forest. Peeta and Gale let out their breath and walk off to find something to do. Away from each other. Peeta smiles to himself picking up a painting of his oldest child sitting in a chair holding a bow and arrow that Katniss gave her as a birthday present. He knows that he doesn't mind that she's fallen for Bryce Hawthorne, but its fun to give Gale the satisfaction.
Well... there yah go. Comment? :b
