"What about Kentucky?" Johanna asks. We decided not to talk about moving with the kids, so now that they're at school, we can talk freely. I sigh and bounce my tea bag up and down. I'm in a cut off tank top and my underwear, partly because I didn't know they were coming over, and because Peeta took the kids to school when I was asleep.
I don't even have a bra on. "I don't know…" I sigh.
"No. I hate to say it but it drives me absolutely bonkers how they always travel in one huge group. If we move to Kentucky we will never have any privacy and they're going to suck us into their stupid little group." Peeta says. I hop up on the counter.
"I thought I was the only one that thought that was annoying." I mumble.
"It drives me crazy too." Prim admits.
"Diddo," everyone says together.
"Well then how about California?" Alex suggests. Peeta and I both groan in protest and he sighs. "Never mind then."
"Somewhere in the upper part of the country. It's beautiful up there." Peeta says.
Oh yeah, he's been to almost every single state in this country. "And in the country. It's terrible idea to raise your kids in the city. There's too much peer pressure."
"How about….Montana?" Dustin asks.
"No." Peeta says. "The shopping there is terrible and the winters are horrid."
"Oh come on, the winters in New York were horrible too." Annie reasons.
"Well I don't want to go to Montana." Peeta says.
I can tell he's in some sort of mood today and I want to know what's wrong. I'm not going to push. He'll come to me if it's something to worry about.
"Well then we won't go to Montana." I say.
"How about…What about Colorado?" Alex asks.
"No. Colorado has the most tech-related jobs. It's sunny more than 300 days a year and if you say one thing wrong you'll practically get your front teeth knocked out. And you know how the kids are…god firbid…" I mumble.
"How do you know so much about the states?" Finn demands. Johanna snorts, as does Annie and Prim.
"Geography was her best subject. She almost always had an A in that class." Prim says.
"And she got hundreds on any state tests, even if it was about laws or anything."
"Well fine…what about Utah?" Alex asks.
"Hell no! Nothing fun is in Utah. They have one amusement park that is worse than it's a small world at Disney, the food is like cardboard, there's literally five clubs, the television sucks ass, practically everything is illegal there, traffic is terrible and the people there are assholes. We are not moving to Utah." I say. Annie sighs and pulls up a map on her phone, listing off all the states.
"Fine! What about Wyoming! You can't possibly have something bad to say about that state!" Annie snaps, now pissed off at me. I sigh loudly and dump some sugar in my tea, adding a bit of honey and some milk.
"I actually have nothing bad to say about that state." I say.
"Well then go and look for a house there." Johanna says. "I can't believe you guys are fucking moving. I hate you." Peeta rolls his eyes and I just smirk.
"Love you too, fucker," I mess up her hair as I walk past her.
"Go put some fucking pants on!" she shouts after me.
"I'll put some pants on when I go out of the house. If you have a problem, you can get out. You're in my house, remember?" I call from the stairs.]
"Where are you going?" Peeta demands, following me.
"To get my laptop." I tell him. He follows me upstairs. "What?" I ask when he blocks the door.
"Do you realize how angry you've made me?" he whispers.
"Me? Why? I didn't do anything,"
"Yes. You in this." He nods at my minimal clothing. I just laugh and brush past him. "Every time I look at you I can see you naked in my mind." He whispers in my ear. I just snicker.
"I'll bet I look better in your mind then I actually do in person." I assume as I pass him.
PEETA'S POV
I can't believe she thinks that she looks better in my mind then she does in person.
She's wrong. She looks stunning in person and she looks amazing in my mind.
She looks better in person though. I stare at her ass as she walks down the stairs, and I can tell she's purposely swaying her hips.
She's such a little tease. I sit down in my chair and she sits down right on my lap.
Dammit Katniss. She loves driving me crazy till I'm about to scream, and then relieving me later. I open word on her laptop. She's about to ask me something but I start to type.
Are you trying to kill me?
She shifts and laughs.
No…you can't die from want, baby. I'm trying to drive you crazy because your cute when your h…never mind.
I sigh and rest my chin on her shoulder. She sweeps her hair out of my face and completely exposes the skin there.
She smells like baby oil and coconut shampoo. She always smells like this naturally.
Fine then. Two can play at this game.
She smirks. Agreed. Whoever cracks first has to let the other be in charge. And how about we go a little…say, fifty shades? The one who cracked first has to be handcuffed to the bed.
Oh god.
Okay. Deal. You better get ready to have your hands cuffed, I type.
Diddo, she types back.
Oh damn, this is war.
We start searching for houses.
She purposely does things to make me crack. After a while, everyone leaves, rendering us alone.
Now the silence lingers in the air. Her cheeks are flushed red and I can tell she's having very raunchy thoughts right now.
"I don't even care if I'm chained." She admits. "I just want you."
"Are you giving up? That soon?" I ask. She bites her lips.
"We haven't had sex in bed in almost a year. I don't give a fuck how it happens. I just want it to happen right now."
"Yes ma'am." I sweep her into my arms.
...9...
KATNISS POV
My phone starts ringing after I get out of the shower. Peeta's already answered it. I walk out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel on and take my phone from him. It's Kilee's school.
"Hello?" I ask, already knowing what's coming.
"Is this the mother of Kilee Mellark?" A lady asks over the line.
"This is." I reply.
"Well...she had an anxiety attack and tripped and fell down the stairs...and now she's unconscious. We took her in an ambulance to North County Occupational Medicine."
Oh my god. "Okay, thank you." I say. "Do I need to come and get her stuff?" I ask, trying to keep the frantic ness out of my voice as I drop my towel and start to pull on clothes.
"Yes. We'll have it in the office for you." She says.
"Okay, thank you so much."
"Oh no, thank you." She says. I hang up.
"You need to get ready. Kilee fell down the stairs after having an anxiety attack and passed out. She's on the way to North County Occupational Medicine." Peeta starts getting frantically dressed. I drop my Tristen room and lift him from his crib. Peeta follows me. It's already one thirty so I just go and get the kids early.
"Why are we going home early, Mama?" Hallie asks.
"Because your sister is in the hospital and I don't know how long we are going to be there for." I reply. I'm driving because I wanted to, driving helps to clear my mind.
"Mama, are we moving?" Brennan asks. I look to Peeta, who sighs.
"Yes." I reply.
"Why?" Bailee demands.
"Because we have to…you'll understand when your older." I reply.
"Are we short on money?" Hallie asks. For an eight year old, she's pretty brilliant. Peeta laughs though. "Hal, we have more money than we can even handle right now." Peeta replies. With so many restaurants scattered all around the country, we have so much money we could by a hundred thousand dollar house and still have money to buy three more.
"Are we going to see Justin again? And Chase and Olivia and Auntie Annie and Auntie Prim and Auntie Jo Jo? And our Uncle's?"
"Of course we will." I reply. We pull into Kilee's school and Peeta looks confused. "I'll be back in two seconds." I say. I get out of the car and head quickly inside.
"Her stuff is right there, Mrs. Mellark." The secretary says. Most of the staff at this school knows me because I'm here almost every day when Kilee's has a breakdown. I grab Kilee's stuff.
"Thank you," I wave as I walk out, opening up the back door and setting her stuff in front of Tristen's seat and then walk around to the front and get in my side. "Suppose I should call Johanna and probably everyone else." I grumble.
"Don't call them. Just do a group message-actually, you're driving. I'll do it." Peeta says.
No I did not steal this story from KatJoPeetaFinn. That is my other account.
If you guys have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
P.S. YOU GUYS ARE SO LUCKY I'M NOT EVEN ON BREAK YET!
