Reviews? :D
Flashbacks. So many flashbacks. Too much memories. No, stop it Katniss, you'll breakdown like a baby again. No more please.
We're finally in the woods.
I look back and I see Peeta at my back, noisy as ever. I start to chuckle. Peeta just smiles back. Peeta trips and I start to crack up.
"Old habits die hard, Heheh." Peeta says, I start to help him up.
"Come on, I'll show you the lake I used to go to with my Father when I was a kid." I say, He nods in agreement. After quite awhile of walking, we finally reach the lake. Ahh I think. I could smell water lilies and fresh shrubs all over again. Peeta signals me to sit next to him. "Nice spot" I tell him. We're leaning on a willow tree, It's so peaceful, but I don't want to doze off, I didn't come here to sleep!
"Katniss." Peeta taps my shoulder. "Can you explain now what happened between you two? But, if you don't want, it's alright" He says
"No, it's okay." I say I take a deep breath before I start telling. "It was 3 or 4 nights ago when I figured it all out. I could explain why Gale always arrives home late. Every night, after he's done working, he takes a long visit to Madge, giving all the pleasure she wants. When I ask him why he always arrives home late he just says that there's a problem in the mines." I feel my throat closing. No I say to myself. I'm not going to cry. Instead, I start to stare at a katniss plant. I remember my Dad saying "If you find yourself, you'll never starve!" Then something disrupts my train of thoughts, my face is soaked. Peeta splashed water on my face.
"Why are you so glum Ms. Everdeen?" Peeta says. We engage into a water fight. We're laughing. We're laughing like idiots. I think I know how to get back to him; I fill my empty game bag with water. Peeta starts running up a hill. I chase him. He's cornered. This will be the most memorable thing that I've done to Peeta ever. "Katniss, I know you don't want to do this!"
Peeta says. I chuckle. I drop the water on top of Peeta's head. He's drenched, really, drenched. I start to crack up. I start to lose my balance from all the laughing. I start to fall. Peeta tries to catch me, but he ended up falling too. We go rolling down the hill and I land on top of him. We're both giggling; I still can't get over the water fight thingy. Light strikes directly on Peeta's blonde hair and his eyes are like diamonds. Dazzled, I stare at him. He's so… beautiful.
"Katniss, are you alright?" He asks. Still speechless, I reply, with a kiss. It's not the stir in chest feeling but way better. Though my eyes are closed, I could see fireworks, my heart is beating so fast like there's no tomorrow. It feels… great. When I release, I see Peeta smiling with his eyes. We both sit up.
"Katniss. Thank you." Peeta says
"For what?" I ask
"Thank you for this moment." Peeta says and smiles. We both head back. But, we don't engage in any conversation. We go our separate ways, we say our goodbyes and we go back to our on houses.
