A/N:Yikes! Louis totally got pissed last night and came home with a black eye because some guy was cornering a girl in the bar and Louis didn't like it... awwwwwww...
So this chapter is basically a filler kind of thing andddddd if I get enough reviews... let's say three ( :O ) in the next hour I will post the next chapter which is Peeta's birthday chapter! there's a spoiler at the end of this chapter to encourage ya'll!
I smack Gale as he snickers.
"Remember, Gale, you're only welcome here until I want you gone. Watch your mouth." I throw a grape at him but he catches it and pops it in his mouth.
"Oh come on it's pretty funny, the kid can't even get a hard on to please you with!" I smack Gale just as Peeta wheels in using his wheelchair that Doctor makes him use three days a week. "And he's in a chair!" I smile at Peeta and he wheels over to us.
"Yet who's bed does she sleep in every night?" Peeta smirks at Gale as I lean down and kiss him good morning.
"Fair play, Mellark." Gale mutters and then wanders over to the calender that is stuck on the fridge. It's april and the picture is of Peeta when he's little, he's dressed as superman and posing with his hands in fists on his hips and looking to the side. It's adorable. "You're eighteen next week?" Gale asks and Peeta shifts uncomfortably.
"Yeah, but I don't enjoy my birthdays." He says and I glance at him, he has the haunted look in his eyes that he gets when he thinks of his bitch of a mother. I squeeze his shoulder and pass him a mug of coffee before gently pushing his chair to the table. I sit beside him and Gale sits opposite me.
"Eighteen is a big day. Are you having a party?" Gale asks, he's trying. I can see he's trying and so is Peeta.
"I'm not supposed to know but my buddies are arranging some sort of beach theme party thing." Peeta shrugs. "I'd rather just kick back and watch a film to be honest."
"Fair enough, will it be a big thing?" Gale asks and Peeta shrugs.
"Probably, Finnick's in charge so there will probably be fireworks and strippers." Peeta jokes and Gale snickers, I kick him under table.
"Ouch!" He complains and I glare at him. "You're being quiet, Catnip." I take note of the vein in Peeta's temple throb once when he says Catnip.
"I'm just thinking." I say vaguely and they both cock their heads at me at the same time. "We should get to physio, Peeta." Peeta nods as I change the subject. I stand up and go out to the front door to put the ramp Evan and Rye made on the steps so Peeta can get down and Peeta sits and watches me. I heave the wooden ramp int the right place and Peeta grabs my hands and pulls me to him so we can kiss.
"Why were you being quiet?" He asks as I push him awkwardly through the shingle to get to the jeep.
"Gale." I say and unlock the car. "He was being... Odd." Peeta looks confused for a second and then blushes when I help him into the car. He thanks me as I close the door and fold the chair to put in the back. I climb into the drivers seat and Peeta looks across at me as I start the engine. "Why was he asking so much about your party?"
"I thought it was strange but I just figured he was trying to make small talk." Peeta says reaching his hand to rest on my knee.
"But, Gale doesn't do small talk and if he did, why would it be about you? No offence, but surely he'd bring up football or baseball like guys do." I explain and Peeta shrugs.
"I honestly have no idea, Katniss. Maybe you're just reading into it too much." I glance at him and frown. "I'm just trying to be supportive, really I want him to fuck off out of my house and stop walking the way he does."
"How does he walk?" I ask confused and Peeta groans.
"Silently! He just appears sometimes and I don't hear him coming, it's...odd!" We both laugh a little and then sit in silence.
I park the jeep and pull the keys out of the ignition, I turn to Peeta and he looks at the small house.
"Okay?" I ask and Peeta continues to stare. "Peeta?" I ask and he looks across at me. "What's wrong?"
"Gale was in my room." He says quietly and I shift uncomfortably.
"Doing what?" I ask and Peeta shrugs.
"I don't know, he was walking out of my room when I got there and he said he was looking for you." Peeta says with a frown.
"When?" I ask.
"A couple of days ago I think. He hadn't touched anything so it's probably nothing." Peeta brushes it off and I sigh as I get out of the car, knowing that it's always something when Gale's involved.
"You did great, Peeta! She was really impressed!" I say enthusiastically as I help him into the car.
"I think she fancied me." He says with a smirk and I narrowed my eyes at him and then kissed him deeply.
"Well she can't have you." I say and shut his door before getting in the driver's side. "I'll drop you off home and then I'm going out to lunch." I say as casually as I can.
"Oh yeah, with Delly?" He asks and I nod. "Where are you going?"
"Not sure, I left it up to her to choose." I say knowing my voice is high.
"Oh right, that makes sense." Peeta knows I'm lying so I scrunch up my face. "Can you just make sure Finnick doesn't get strippers at the party." He requests and I huff.
"You knew the whole time I was helping!" He laughs and shrugs. "And I'm offended you'd think I'd let there be strippers there even if you asked for them." I say matter of factly and Peeta grins at me.
"What plans are there so far?" He asks curiously and I groan.
"I can't tell you!" I complain and Peeta sighs.
"That's a shame, I was thinking earlier how just because I can't get it up doesn't mean you have to suffer for it." He says casually and the burn between my legs is suddenly unbearable. "I mean my fingers still work right?" He asks and then runs his fingers up my bare thigh.
"Peeta..." I moan and he pushes his hand into my shorts via the leg hole.
"They still work don't they, baby?" He murmurs and I whimper suddenly, Peeta reaches over and tugs the steering wheel gently and I take my foot off the gas, stopping the jeep halfway up the drive. "Do my fingers work, baby?"
"Y-yes." I stutter and Peeta grins wildly but I see the apprehension in his eyes. "Peeta, we don't have to-oh!" my voice turns to a loud moan as Peeta touches my clit and my legs writhe.
"Climb into the back." Peeta demands and removes his hand, in a haze I slide between the two front seats and onto the back seats. Peeta has climbed out of the car and is now heaving himself into the back with me. "Take your shorts off, Katniss." Before he even finished the sentence I had my shorts at my knees and was pushing them off, desperate for Peeta's touch. "Come here, baby." His voice was tight but I couldn't bring myself to analyse it right now, instead I straddled his thighs as he pulled my underwear down and when they couldn't go any further he rolled us so I was laying on my back and him above me.
"Oh god, Peeta." I whisper when he starts to kiss the heel of my foot. Peeta trails kisses and his tongue down my leg and then nips at my centre and I cry out suddenly. I moan his name and Peeta responds by thrusting two fingers inside me so I moan loudly.
"I can't do this." Peeta cries suddenly and pulls his fingers from me. It takes me a few moments to pull my eyes open and see Peeta sat hunched over in the chair, his hands gripping at his hair.
"Peeta?" I ask and he looks at me with a pained expression on his face.
"Nothing." He mutters and my eyes fall to his crotch. My heart drops a little because part of me really hoped this would sort him out down there. I dress quickly and sidle up next to him.
"It's fine." I say and he turns and buries his face in my neck like a child would.
"It feels weird, Kat. Normally I'd have been aching down there, begging to pound you and now there's nothing! Literally, not even the slightest stir!" He cries out and I wrap my arms round him.
"It's okay! I don't need that, I've got you!" I insist and eventually he looks up at me.
"I could ask Finn." He whispers and I frown.
"Ask him what?"
"If he'd do it." Peeta says quietly and I rack my brains.
"Do what?" I ask.
"You." I sigh and kiss him deeply.
"I don't want Finnick! I don't want anyone but you! If I can't get you then, tough luck! I don't want anyone but you, Peeta!" I say and he presses his forehead to mine.
"Promise?" He asks and I nod.
"I love you!" I say and he smiles a little.
"I love you so much, Katniss!" He exclaims.
"Glad you could make it, Agent Everdeen." Finnick retorts as I burst into the swimming centre reception.
"Sorry, there was a drama!" I apologise and everyone shrugs, Delly hugs me quickly and then looks me straight in the eye. "Peeta went down on me." I whisper and Delly beamed.
"That's great!" She says and I shake my head.
"It lasted like ten seconds before he backed out. He didn't even stir, nothing!" I say and Delly sighs.
"How'd Peet's physio go?" Gerry moves over to us, giving me a quick hug.
"Good, he's walking better but, he keeps getting frustrated when it doesn't go how he wants it to." I inform him and Gerry nods.
"How long has it been then?" Delly asks and I glance at Gerry and blush. "He won't tell, he's secretly one of the girls anyway." Gerry sticks his tongue at her and then pouts like a girl so I laugh.
"Nearing three months now." I say and Gerry grimaces while Delly gasps. "Including the time we were both going crazy in the hospital." I add, trying to make it sound better but Delly hugs me quickly.
"Oh god! You poor thing!" She sympathises and Gerry gives me a sympathetic look. "How are you surviving without anything!" She asks and I shrug.
"I don't know, I don't really think about it." I admit and Delly nods.
"I could help." Delly says and Gerry's eyes widen quickly. "Not like that, Gerry!" His eyes go back to normal. "My friend works at the sex shop." Gerry's eyes widen again but Delly doesn't notice his wide eyes or my blush. "I could get you a dildo." She says and my mouth drops open. Gerry takes a deep breath and shakes his head.
"I'm done!" He says, surrendering with his hands. "I can deal with listening to girls talk about Bieber, The Notebook, hair, nails, whatever. But dildos is an unfair play." He mutters and walks off. Delly and I look at each other and burst out laughing.
"I'm okay, Delly." I inform her and she shrugs before we move to the desk where Finnick is haggling with the girl at the desk.
"Oh go on! We just need a couple of life guards, palm trees, beach balls, floats and stuff! Go on! For me!" He flirts and the girl rolls her eyes and then sees Gerry and smirks.
"I'll do it for him." She says and Gerry looks up from his phone.
"Huh?" He says and everyone giggles.
"I'll sort it all out for you if he is in the pool, topless in ten minutes." She declares and everyone cheers.
"For fifty?" Finnick checks and she pulls a face.
"We usually do seventy-five." She says and Finnick reaches over and lifts Gerry's top, much to his shock. "Fifty it is!" She says and her and Finnick shake.
"Did I just sell my body?" Gerry asks and everyone laughs.
"No, I sold your body! Right everyone in the pool then let's go!" Finnick demands and I shake my head.
"No swimming gear, I'll sit out on this one." I say and Delly agrees so the guys pull off their shirts and throw them at us. "This is cruel." I whisper to Delly as we observe Gerry, Finnick, Sam, Jude and Harry's bodies.
"Yeah well, take your eyes off Sam, he's mine." She mutters and Sam grins and they start making out.
"I thought we were swimming not playing tonsel hockey!" Jude mutters and I smile. Jude is Delly's cousin and doesn't say much but when he does it's hilarious.
The guys then run off into the pool area to discard their flip flops and Delly and I move to the seating area beside the pool. We watch as Finnick climbs the diving board and does a flip into the water, making zero splash and comes up grinning. Jude and Sam find a ball and start hitting to each other while Gerry just bobs around.
"Oi! Gerry, get up here!" Finnick shouts from the top board and Gerry obediently makes his way up.
"Oh god!" Delly exclaims when she sees the two on the highest board.
"What?" I question and she sighs.
"Last time Finn took Gerry up there, Gerry came down with a broken nose!" I laugh as Gerry dive bombs and everyone squeals as we get splashed. Finnick follows performing a crazy twist and flip.
"Hello, stranger." I turn suddenly at the british accent and grin when Jacob sits beside me, dripping wet.
"Hello, british kid with a scottish relative who is living in America!" We both grin and I can't help but let my eyes travel over his smooth body.
"What brings you to the pool?" He asks and I explain about Peeta's birthday. "Cool, how is the boss?" He asks and I explain again. "Damn, life is a bitch." He mutters and I agree.
"What brings you to the pool?" I ask and he shrugs.
"I'm on a date I guess." He sighs and I smile.
"That's great!" I say and he smirks.
"Not exactly, she's hitting it off with the lifeguard." Jacob says and points to where a lifeguard is flirting with a pretty blonde.
"Shit, that's cruel." I say and Jacob shrugs.
"I'm Delly by the way!" Delly elbows me and I apologise.
"Jacob." He introduces himself and holds a hand out to her, she gives him hers and they shake across me then carry on holding the other's hand for a little too long. "Well, I'm going to go get dressed." Jacob informs us and I smile at him.
"Or you could just stay sat here like that." Delly flirts and he smirks at her and sits back in his chair.
"Del! Baby!" We all look across at Sam who is standing on Jude's shoulders and wave at him.
"Who's that?" Jacob asks and Delly grimaces.
"My boyfriend." She says and Jacob nods.
"He seems... Mature." Jacob takes a dig at Sam and we look back over to where Sam is now in a splashing war with a kid who looks about seven years old.
"He's good in bed." Delly shrugs and Jacob smiles.
"Well if that's the only reason you're with a guy why don't you come back to mine." Jacob flirts with her and I sit between them awkwardly.
"You seem awfully sure you're good in bed." Delly teases and Jacob nods.
"Well why don't you come and find out some time?" Jacob responds easily and Delly giggles. "I'm going to get going now." He states and then leaves before Delly can say anything.
"He wants you to follow him." I tell her and she waves at Sam.
"I know." She says and I look at her confused.
"Do you like him?" I ask after a minute or so.
"He seems nice to talk to." She say thoughtfully and I nod.
"I'm going to go get some fresh air." I mutter and move outside.
The sun is blinding so I use my hand to shield my face and look around until I see Jacob stood by a motorbike.
"Two times in a day, I'm a lucky kid." Jacob smirks at me before he inclines his cigarette towards me and I take it. "What's the story with Delly?" He asks and I shrug.
"Rich kid, good at everything, amazing personality, couldn't hurt a fly." I say and continues to smoke Jacob's cigarette.
"I like her." He says thoughtfully and I nod. "She seems genuine." He adds.
"The most genuine person you could meet." I say and lean against his bike. Gerry is walking towards us with a pissed off look on his face.
"You smoke." He says angrily and I glance at the cigarette.
"Occassionally." I respond and he shakes his hair out for a second. "What's up Gerard?" I ask and he seems to be sizing Jacob up.
"Peeta called, he asked me to sleep with you." I sigh.
"Right well, no thank you." I retort and Gerry stares at Jacob.
"Obviously you already have someone to sleep with." He says and I tense.
"I'm not sleeping with Jacob! I'm stealing his cigarette!" I say irritated then turn to Jacob. "I'll see you around, yeah? Come to Peeta's party, I'll send you an invite." Jacob gives a half hearted salute before straddling his bike.
"Nice to meet you, Gerard." Jacob says before putting his helmet on and driving away.
"Why is Peeta so convinced I need someone to sleep with?" I ask and Gerry suddenly looks apologetic.
"I'm guessing he just feels you know, useless. I don't know how he thinks, but if it was me I would feel like every time we kissed you wanted me, so I'd give you more and you'd want more then it would come to sex and nothing is happening." Gerry shrugs and I sigh.
"It's weird," I say as I stub out the cigarette and wave at the others who are walking out from the centre. "It doesn't bother me." Gerry frowns at me like he doesn't believe me and I smile. "I mean sure, I miss sex and being that close to Peeta but, that's why it meant so much. I got to be that close to him! Each time he kisses me I still find it impossible not to smile." I admit and Gerry has a wide smile on his face.
"We got the stuff!" Finnick yells and I turn to where he is pretending to pull open the doors to the jeep I brought. Gerry and I start to head over but Finnick pulls the door suddenly and the alarm starts to blare. Finnick leaps about three metres away and I have to squat to the ground so I don't wet myself from laughter before I sort the car out.
