So sorry it took forever to update but I am human and a busy one at that but enough said here is chapter two !
When I wake up to find Peeta's arms wrapped around my waist and smile that even in his sleep he is very protective of me . I roll over to get a better look at Peeta in his sleep , he almost looks like he is the most peaceful person on the planet being here with me even after all of the damage I have caused to him and having to survive the hunger games .
While I was memorizing every inch of peeta's face I realized how attractive he really is without even trying and I feel lucky to have him with me even if it is only for a short period of time , which I pray it won't.
To soon peeta wakes up to find me looking at him but he mustn't think anything of it because he smiles softly to himself before stretching with a yawn .
"Good morning ,Katniss"
"Morning ,Peeta"
" How did you sleep last night"
"Great,it has to be the best rest I've gotten scince we came home last week"
"That's good I know that I feel better rested than I have in weeks and it's all thanks to you"
I don't even have time to reply back to peeta because outside our window peeta's mom is screetching at the top of her lungs for peeta to get out of my house this instint or else she would be coming up here herself to find out what we were doing.
Me and Peeta look at each other mortified and for me blushing at what his mother was implying that she would find us doing up here . Peeta's cheeks burn with shame as he softly speaks the last words before he leaves with his angry mother.
"Sorry , I will come by later tonight or you can come over to my house , either way we can make it work ."
And with that he slips on his shoes and gives me a soft kiss before he is on his way out of the door and onto the sidewalk in front of the house. I watch from my window as he leaves and wonder what it would be like if we didn't have to put up with the grinch , which truly was the most appropriate nickname I could think of to call Peeta's mother when honestly I don't care what her name is because I have no respect towards her from how she treats Peeta. Peeta,sweet innocent Peeta, my boy with the bread , the dandelion in the spring that gives me hope that even on the worst days their can be people to help you at your most desperate moments,but most of all my hero and protector, the person that brings out the life that was held deep inside.
Peeta and Prim are without a doubt in my mind two of the most important people in my life. I can't lose either of them and if I did I would go down with them. Even though Peeta dose not know it I love him , I mean I love gale also but he is like a big brother to me and he always will be as long as he is around me.
I spend the rest of the day sorting out my feelings for Peeta and I return to theashamed thing every time , I love him and need him in my life more than any other 's the only person who knows what I went through in the arena other than than the other tributes but they are dead and gone now so it is not like they would have been of any help anyways .
The sun is setting as I finish sorting and I decide by taking one look in the mirror and one sniff of my flashy Capitol created skin that i really need a shower , I'm embarrassed Peeta was even near me when I look like a hot mess and smell like I have been at the bar all night long.I undo the braid that I had some what slopped together and slipped into the dancing rainwaters that can only feel like the desserts.
Once I'm done with my much needed shower and getting dressed in warm pj's I sat down at the stool provided by you guessed it the Capitol and began to put on face moisturizer, a very good smelling lotion I found in another cabinet I had not known about or crossed before now, and lastly I brushed out my hair and decided to just leave it down and see what Peeta thinks about my mother and my sister are asleep and most likely assume I'm asleep,because Peeta did not show up at my house I quietly slip out of my new house and cross the lawn seperating me and Peeta's lawn.
Slowly I creep around Peeta's house to look for any sign or movement of Peeta's mother but i see no sign of her here and I'm pretty sure she still lives in the bakery owned by the Mellark's.
I knock on the door and here some shuffling around inside before the door opens to reveal a very tired and from the looks worn out Peeta , which has to be from his mother and her outburst. At that moment I notice a spot on Peeta's right arm that wasknot their earlier today and I know it was caused by his mother along with another mark on his temple that looks fresher than the mark on his arm, so ths must be why Peeta had not come over yet, because he was trying to cover up what his mother did to him but apparently I must have ruined that plan.
I'm enraged that his mother treats him like he means nothing to him or to anybody else , I mean everybody knows she is a witch but this just proves she is truly worse than a witch by far.
Peeta must have read my face because he is already making an excuse that would have been accepted if I had not known the history he had with his mother in the past.
"Peeta what did she do to you?"I say almost in tears because I wasn't there to help 's face softens as he see's how much I must mean to him .
" Nothing to serious or that I can't take , look Katniss just don't worry about it I'll be fine , can you do that ? "
I nod my head yes and run straight to him and throw my arms around him with so much force that it knocks us both over and onto the living room carpeted looks at me in shock that I'm so happy to seem him after only a few hours apart, but his face is replaced with a pure happy smile that only Peeta has and I have to smile back at him because I am so happy that he is still alive and that he wants to be around someone like me when he could hang out with any girl or for that matter have any girl he wants but he wants me , and somehow I fall more in love with him.
We both get up and out of the blue I'm sweeped off of my feet and being held upside down by Peeta's strong , steady arms, and quickly reaching my destination of Peeta's bedroom which I have never been in before but I'm sure I will be in here more often.
Currently Peeta is basically walking in slow motion and we are both laughing like normal teenagers who are in love . I'm quickly reversed into the right position and am facing Peeta. Our faces are so close that I can feel his warm breath heating up my cool skin like a rapid wildfire .
Peeta's eyes flicker down to my lips while my eyes do the same as his and before my mind even has time to reject I'm closing the gap in between our lips in mere seconds. It's almost like being in the games againd but this kiss is 500 degrees better and it is a real kiss for just Peeta and me to know about and enjoy .
His lips are warm and soft as they move against mine and I feel dizzy by what this boy does to me, who knew Peeta Mellark my district partner and my fellow champion of the 74th Hunger Games would be my weakness ?
After the kiss I rest the top of my hair against Peeta's as I regain the breath that he took away .When I come back to gravity I realize that during the kiss my legs and my arms had snaked there way around his waist and neck, while Peeta's hands were supporting me .
Peeta effortlessly carried me over to the bed , pulled back the sheets and gingerly set me down on the soft , warm bed that smelled good just like Peeta. I quickly fell back onto the soft bed and looked around the 's room is exactly like mine except his room color is very dark blue and his furniture is made of cherry-wood. As soon as Peetagait into bed I slid over toward him and cuddled up to him by hiding my head inthe crook of his neck as his arms found their way around me enveloping me in security that has been long goneSartre my father died.
Soon after getting comfortable I bid Peeta good night and shut my eyes tight knowing that tonight when the nightmares come I will have Peeta to comfort and console me.
