"Thanks for tonight...I actually had a lot of fun." I took off my jacket and let Peeta put it away for me. He was really being a gentleman tonight...and he was trying his hardest not to make a move on me. Remember I only said he was trying.
"Well, you're very welcome. I'm gonna go change. Could you hand me that white shirt?" he pointed at the chair next to me.
"Yeah, sure. Let me just do this one thing first..." I walked closer to him and he started edging backwards like he was losing his balance. "Hold still." I grabbed his tie and pulled him into me. My lips crashed into his as I began undoing his tie and the kiss grew more passionate. I pushed him down on the bed behind him and put my hands down on both sides of his shoulders.
"What has gotten into you?" he backed out of the kiss and smiled.
"Nothing. I just thought you earned it." I continued kissing him and I could still feel his smirk underneath my lips. I began unbuttoning his blouse and moved my lips down to his jawline. He unzipped my dress and slid myself out of it revealing my undergarments. I unhooked his belt and pushed his pants off.
"You're sure you want to do this right?" he lifted me up by my rib cage and looked me in the eyes.
God he was so hot right now. I lowered myself down to him and planted a soft kiss right on his lips. "yes." he smiled at me and everything else went amazing from there. "Last night...you were amazing." I had been waiting for Katniss to wake up all morning so I could look into her gorgeous eyes. She smiled to me and blinked her eyes shut again, stretching out her arms signaling she was tired. "Noooo, I've been waiting here for hours just so you could wake up!"
"You should have just woke me up!" she opened them and grabbed my hands.
"Oh like that what have gone down positively." we both laughed because we knew she wouldn't wake up that early. "Besides, you had no nightmares last night!"
"It's because I knew you were there."
"I like waking up to you."
"Me too." she smiled at me and I brought her into me. "So Peeta, I was thinking...we could play a little game."
"Oh, really? And now what kind of game would this be?" I kissed her cheek and got out of bed.
"Well, every time someone makes a snarky remark and I, of course, snap at them; you get to well..." she grew a smile on her face and walked towards the closet.
"I get to what?" I smirked at her, handing her robe to her.
"How about I...flash you?" she looked up at me, squinting.
"Oh, now that's cute. Is that all you got?" I wrapped the robe around her and pulled a t-shirt on over me.
"Oh fine you big perv you could do whatever you would like to...tame me." she turned back to the closet and tied the belt tighter around her.
"Okay. Well, how about I start now." I wrapped my arms around her from behind and kissed her cheek. She squealed and turned around, kissing me."
"We gotta go to breakfast Peeta."
"Nooo, I don't feel like talking to Effie."
"Come on Peeta." she pulled me out the door just as Effie was preparing to knock.
"Oh, there you two are! I was getting a little worried and Haymitch was well...Haymitch. Anyways, it's the first day of training you need a big healthy breakfast!" she smiled at us and we just walked right by her.
"Good morning Haymitch. "I sat down and put a piece of toast on Katniss's plate.
"Now, Haymitch; weren't you concerned?" Effie sat back down in her seat and sipped her tea.
"No, I really wasn't."
"And now why is that? You should always be looking for your victors."
"Because Peeta got laid last night. It's simple really." Haymitch drank his wine and Effie looked astonished. Katniss dropped her butter knife and sat there, mouth open. "Well, it's true isn't it?"
I opened my mouth but no words came out. How embarrassing was this. "Katniss? You wanna say anything?" I looked at the table and took a bite out of my toast so I wouldn't have to talk.
She shut her mouth and picked up the butter knife. "Um, well...I really don't think that's any of your business and I would appreciate if you would leave us alone now." she continued spreading the bitter on her toast nonchalantly and Effie just stared at the two of us.
"No. I will not leave you alone." he sat there and stared at her. Katniss just stares back, squinting. Uh-oh...
"Fine. Then I'll just leave." she grabbed her toast and stormed out, smirking at him.
"Katniss wait!" she didn't wait though, she just kept walking. "Great, now look what you did, Haymitch. We'll be lucky if she comes out for training. Effie, I'm sorry that breakfast had to turn out this way. I'll just go talk to her." I threw my napkin down on my plate and ran down the hallway. I knew where she went. I climbed up the stairs and met her at the roof.
"Katniss, honey? It's a little chilly out here, why don't we go inside?" She shook her head and turned around. There were tears in her eyes and she was gasping for hair. Uh-oh; she wasn't crying about Haymitch. "Oh, Katniss." I held my arms out to her and she ran into them.
"I just. Miss." She got out, gasping for air in between.
"shhh. It's okay." I brushed my fingers through her hair, comforting her. We stayed like this for a few more minutes before she built up the strength to stop crying. "Hey, you always have me. Okay? No more crying!" I grabbed her by both shoulders and smiled at her. To my surprise, she actually smiled a tiny bit as well.
"Okay." She grabbed one of my hands and walked back towards the door. I stopped her one more time.
"I have an idea. Let me walk you back to our room and then I'll come back to get you. You gonna be okay?" She nods back to me and we walk down the stairs. Once at our hotel room I kiss her on the cheek and she goes back in to get ready for training.
"Haymitch. We need to talk." I sit down at the table where he's still drinking his wine. I pull the cup away from him once he sets it down on the table. "It's about Katniss."
"Ugh, are we STILL hung up on breakfast? I'm sorry okay!" he jammed his fist into the table and looked away.
"No, I'm not talking about you being such an ass to her. It's something that I need you to do." He looked back up at me and nodded his head. "Could you meet me on the roof after training today?" I handed back the glass and he agreed to meet me. He knew exactly what I had wanted.
