Katniss had eaten too many coconut dough balls to want to go to the opera.
'Im sorry Peeta. I think I'd just rather veg out!'
'Haha! That's ok Kat. Let's go see if Haymitch and Effie wanna watch a movie or somethin'
'Haymitch and Effie? Won't they be tearing each other's throats out by now'
Katniss rubbed her full belly and leant on Peetas shoulder.
'You know what Peeta, I'm going to savour this full moment. It'll be a while before we get to eat like this again'
Peeta gave her a friendly squeeze and chuckled
'Well in that case lets get more of those dough balls to take home'
But the thought of seeing anymore food around her made Katniss want to throw up- oh- too late!
'Sorry Peeta!' But he just laughed
'Come on let's get you home'
They reached the pent house and entered the living room
'Hmm it's awfully quiet in here'
Peeta switched on the lights and popped there day bags down
'Well my guesses is that Haymitch has succumbed to the whiskey bottle and is in a coma somewhere, and Effie is probably writing out our schedule for leaving tomorrow' Katniss sighed and slumped down into the sofa
'Yeah, your probably right' Peeta chuckled and joined her. 'Was nice of her though, to give us her card for the day'
Katniss smiled. Dear Peeta, always finding the best in everyone. 'Yeah, I guess it was, although Im surprised she didn't ask to tag along, would have thought she'd of hated to spend an evening alone with Haymitch, I struggle with an hour'
Katniss looked around her and pondered for a moment then continued,
'I don't think I'll miss this place, but I think I'll miss Effie...'
'Yeah, me too. She grows on you doesn't she'
They smiled again then Katniss let out a concerned sigh,
'I just wish Haymitch would stop torturing her so much. She can't help the fact that she was born into this life just like we couldn't help that we were born in 12'
Peeta knodded in agreement
'I was actually thinking about having a word with him about that. If he hasn't had a drink tonight he needs something else to focus on before he does'
Kat giggled
'You mean like a girlfriend, like Effie?'
'Yeah, why not!'
They thought about it for a second before bursting into fits of laughter
'Yeah right Peeta! They'd kill each other before they kissed each other'
'Thats true! Well I best go check on Haymitch then. I really do hope he hasn't had a drink' Peeta stood
'Yeah I'm gonna ask Effie about tomorrow's agenda, wait up!'
They headed for the bedroom chamber corridor together. They got as far as their own rooms when suddenly they heard a thumping noise.
'What is that?' Katniss looked around bewildered as Peeta crept deeper down the hall way. He suddenly froze in silence.
Kat froze also, trying to hear what Peeta was hearing. She watched as his head fell into his hands and his shoulders began to shake in silent laughter.
'What? What is it Peeta?' Katniss whispered and crept to his side.
'Listen'
Kat mentally stretched her ear into the darkness. At first she couldn't hear much. Just odd breaths and heavy sighs then suddenly. THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD- getting louder and faster. As soon as she heard the moans again she recognised the voice immediately
'Effie?! She mouthed silently over to a hysterical Peeta. They tiptoed back towards the lounge where they could unleash there giggles.
'Oh my god!' Katniss wailed 'Effie Trinket the little dark horse! I wonder who it could be!'
'You think it's cinna?' Peeta howled but Katniss punched him playfully
'No way! There just friends...I think...I bet it's one of the other escorts! Effie was chatting quite flirtatiously with the one from 3 at the party.'
'Yeah, I remember! Kat! I've got to wake Haymitch! He will just die when he hears his Capitol darling escort getting down and dirty in the next room!'
'Oh Peeta! You can't, he'll tease her mercifully! Wait...no, ok go wake him! I'm coming too!'
They crept into Haymitchs room in more silent giggles.
'Haymitch? Haymitch? Wake up!'
But they suddenly realised his bed was empty.
Kat and Peeta looked at one another in confusion before their eyes widened in the shock of suddenly hearing Haymitchs name being called, no screamed by someone else. Effie.
'My god! Haymitch! GOD HAYMITCH!'
Kat and Peeta looked on in horrified silence. They couldn't take it anymore. They said their awkward goodnights to each other and ran to their own rooms.
The train ride to 12 was going to be awwwwwwkwwwarrrrrrrd!
