A/N: I'm sorry! I'm so sorry. My life has been crazy the last few weeks. I haven't gotten much time to write, but I won't bore you with saying how sorry I am. I still love you guys though :D Here you have it! I think 2 more chapters on this story…I don't know….
Happy reading!
Peeta laughed and I smiled. He pulled me in for one last kiss, and I felt like this was perfect. Everything was perfect.
"Where were you planning on going?" He asked. I sighed and looked back down at my suitcase that was in my hands.
"I planned on going to 4, to visit my mother and Annie." I told him.
"Mind if I tag along…?" He asked with a smile.
"Nothing would make me happier." I whispered, and kissed him once more. These were like those kisses on the beach, or the one in the cave, that make the hunger grow inside of me. That make me want all of him, want him to be closer to me. My arms are wrapped around his neck, while his are wrapped around my waist. I kiss him for however long until I break away for air and rest my forehead on his.
"I love you Peeta." I whisper.
"You have no idea how long I've waited to hear you say that, Katniss. I love you too." He smiles and lets go of me, picking up my suitcase and handing it to me. "I better go pack then, huh?"
I laugh and nod as Peeta rushes up the stairs of his home. I look around the house for a minute as I wait. I see one thing that breaks my heart when I do. A picture of his family.
Since they all were killed during the bombing, I felt horrible ever since. I still feel as if it was my fault that, that happened. I want to tell him I'm sorry again, for everything, but there's no point. He'll forgive me no matter what.
Peeta walked downstairs a few minutes later with a suitcase in his hand. I was holding the picture frame in my hand and was looking at his whole family. Peeta had came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder.
"Taking an interest in the Mellark's?" He asked with a smile.
"I guess." I said softly. "I'm so sorry about your family, Peeta." I said turning around to look him in the face.
"Katniss, It's alright. I've learned to deal with it." He said reassuringly. I nodded and set the picture frame back on the table where it was.
"Can we stay here for a bit before just leaving the District?" I asked Peeta, pleadingly.
"Alright, come on." He said taking my hand to wherever we were going.
I followed him into a hallway, and he stopped in front of a door. "Close your eyes." he whispered. I obeyed and closed my eyes, as I heard the sound of a door opening, and he guided me into the room. I opened my eyes once he told me too, and saw the room.
His art studio.
I looked around at the smocks, pastels, paints, and canvases that were everywhere. The walls were painted too. One wall, a beach with sunset dancing across the water with shades of orange and pink. Another wall had the meadow, with dandelions blowing in the breeze. I stood there, awestruck. It was beautiful. And the paintings just as amazing. Not as many of them were paintings of the games, but of me, or people from wherever. Haymitch and Effie, Finnick and Annie. The paintings were so life-like.
"You have no idea how talented you are, Peeta." I whispered.
"Thank you." Peeta said with a smile, hugging me again. I stepped out of his grip and walked over to the meadow-painted wall. I placed my hand on a dandelion. I quickly looked away and then Peeta broke the silence.
"Ready to hit the train station?" He asked. I nodded my head and kissed his cheek quickly.
"Let's go." I whispered in his ear. He smiled and took off running out the door.
"Peeta!" I yelled, chasing after him. He just smiled and kept running. I saw him turn a corner, so I followed, but Peeta no longer had his suitcase. He was waiting for me, and slung me over his shoulder and picked his suitcase back off, while I had mine in my hand while he ran down the street.
"Peeta!" I shouted again, laughing like crazy. Peeta laughed too, and he carried me all the way to the train station.
A/N: I KNOW! TOO SHORT! But, I needed to get something up. I will TRY and post something else this weekend. I love you all, sorry for the wait!
Love you, my lovelies :D
