Sorry for the long wait! My computer broke. :( And I know the chapters are getting shorter it's just I don't have much time to write and I do this all at night. School is starting soon so I wouldn't be updating as often. But anyways, enjoy!
At that moment I realize I love Peeta Mellark. He lightly kisses me. I kiss back. And again, I feel that warm fuzzy feeling building up inside me. He kisses me harder and leans back on the bed. Were kissing for a while and I'm about to take off his shirt when Thresh walks in. "Shit guys, get a room." I spring off Peeta and glare at Thresh. "We are in a room." I say. "True but also my room." I sigh and Peeta and I both get up. We walk outside hand in hand. Nobody is out here except Prim and Rue. They're in the water splashing around in the water.
"Do you want to go swim?" I ask. "Sure." he says. I walk back in side and put on a teal bikini. On my way out, I bump into Clove. Shit. "So, how is it with Lover Boy?" she asks. "How did you know?" I sigh. "We all know he liked you since he was five years old. How did you not know?" "I never payed any attention." I say. "O Katniss, you have to keep you eyes open. The best things happen when their closed." "Wanna swim with us?" I ask. "Sure, I'll call everybody else and share the news." she replys. "Were is everybody?" I ask. "They went in town to shop for food and random shit like that. Rue, Prim Thresh and I didn't want to come." "Okay, I"ll be out there." I say.
I walk back out side and Peeta is already out there. He's standing in the shallow water. It only goes half-way up his shins. He looks at peace, just looking at the beautiful sunset. I walk over and tap his shoulder. He looks at me then pulls me into a kiss. I immediately kiss back. Gently, he wraps his strong arms around my small waist, pulling me close. We both pull away, needing air. "When I was looking at the sunset, I was thinking of you. Because its beautiful and flawless, just like you." I can feel my cheeks burning. "Peeta, I have flaws." "Don't say that. Your perfect in my eyes." He says. "Promise me if I cave in and break and leave myself open that I won't be making a mistake." I say. "Katniss, why would you think that? I'd never do anything like that. Even if you decide end it, your still my best friend. And I don't want you, I need you." "I've been treated like shit before, nobody's ever truly loved me except family. But not like this. I've never felt like this. Never truly been in love." I suddenly say. "I'll do whatever it takes. When I'm with you, I get the shakes. My body aches when I'm not with you I have zero strength. There's no limit on how far I would go. No boundaries, no lengths."
I feel tears threatening to spill over my eye lashes. He makes me feel so special. Like I'm the only person in the world he could ever love. I hug him tightly. I never want to let go. I feel how Finnick and Annie describe how it is being together. I feel like I'm in a daze of happiness. Or possibly a dream and I'll wake up and nothing between Peeta and I never happened. That would be hell. I just feels a couple of tears slowly roll down my cheeks. Peeta pulls away but still has his arms around me. He wipes away my tears. "I love you, Peeta." I whisper. "I love you to, Katniss. I always have, and I always will." he says. "Always." I whisper back. He gently kisses me then hugs me. I realize how dead I felt theses past couple years and how alive I feel now.
"I think that was the most romantic thing I've ever seen in my whole entire life." says Clove. Surprised, Peeta and I look straight at her. Is it just the setting sun making my vision funny or is there a tear in her eye? I swear, nobody's ever seen her cry. "I wish I could find love like that." she says longingly. We don't say anything. She sighs and says "O well, I'll survive. Everybody is home and we were all watching you, just saying." she laughs and walk away. "Just let them watch." says Peeta. I kiss him. He pulls me in close.
Eventually, I need air. I pull away and rest my head on Peeta's shoulder. Then I see it. Much further down the beach were the waves are much harsher. I glint of blonde hair washed up on shore. I eminently pull away from Peeta and race down the beach. I cut my feet on some sea shells and start breathing heavy but I keep going. Keep racing towards her. When I finally get there, I kneel beside her. It's Prim.
