Chapter 9. An Unforgettable Anniversary
Madge: Dear Diary,
It's been four months since Peeta and I have become boyfriend and girlfriend and we have been on 8 wonderful dates. Even all of district 12 is aware of our relationship. When I finally told Katniss about us she was ecstatic. She was very happy that we both have found love and that Peeta is living life again and no longer wallowing. But that's not the point to why I'm writing. My point is today is Peeta and I's 4 month anniversary! And I have something special I'm going to do for him. All I can say is it involves a new dress, a piano, me singing, and a dinner custom for him. "Madge!" Dad hollers. My Dad's calling for me so I have to go. I'll write later how the night goes.
Love,
Madge
I close my diary and hide it in my bookshelf. When I get to the front door dad's waiting for me with a women from the capitol. "Yes daddy?" I answer walking down the stairs. "You have a visitor" he announces. "Hi. It's nice to meet you. My name is Madge. Are you Fiona?" I politely shake her hand. "Yes I am. Are you ready to get started?" she chirps in her capitol accent. Unlike Katniss I don't really mind capitol citizens. To me they just seem to overdo things when it comes to their appearances but otherwise they don't really bother me. "Yes, I'm ready you can just go into that room and I'll meet you there" I say pointing to the bathroom. She nods and follows my directions. Right when I'm about to go meet her dad stops me. "Madge, what's this about? Why do you need a stylist from the capitol?" he whispers. "It's my four month anniversary with Peeta today and I want to have a new dress for our special dinner tonight" I tell him. He chuckles and says "I'll pay for this one since it's for a special occasion". I smile at him and kiss him on the cheek. "Thanks dad. You're the best" I say before opening the door.
"Okay let's get started" Fiona cheers with excitement. I close the bathroom door and sit down on the covered toilet. "So what do we do first?" I ask plainly. "First I measure you" she says taking out a measuring rope. "Now can you please take off your clothes? I can't measure you in that outfit" she gestures to my dress. I reluctantly take off my dress, leaving me with only my undergarments. I feel the urge to cover up my body with my arms but I resist. I don't like being this exposed in front of someone I don't really know. I jump when Fiona measures my waist, hips, and chest. The measuring rope is colder than I expected. When she's finished she let me put my clothes back on, thank god for that.
"Do you have a specific color you want the dress to be?" She asks as she writes down my measurements. "Orange" I say immediately. "What shade of orange?" this gets me thinking. What shade? Does he like tangerine? Creamsicle? Sunset? Yeah, I think its sunset. "Um...Sunset" I finally say. "Do you care about the pattern?" I shake my head. "How about the length of the dress?" I nibble on the inside of my cheek as I decide. "Short. Like this" I say twirling in the dress I'm currently wearing. "Okay. That's all I need from you. Your dress should come around 8 o'clock" she informs me. "Okay" I open the door and we head out of the bathroom. I bid her good bye and went back to planning.
I was cooking Peeta's favorite meal (dandelion salad with raisin nut bread, beef stew with hot grain, and chocolate strawberries) when my dress arrived. I took the package up to my room and ripped the tape off the top with scissors. I opened the box and took the dress out. It was absolutely stunning. The dress is strapless and sunset colored, embroidered with a pattern of dots and hoops. And luckily I have a pair of white flats that would match. I smile as I imagine how the night's going to go. I hope it goes perfectly. I quickly try the dresson just to make sure it fits. I slip it on and it fits like a glove. I look at myself in the mirror and turn around. I take it off and put it on my bed. Then I go back down stairs and continue to prepare our dinner for tonight.
My dad comes into the room when I finish setting up the table. "What's all this?" he grins. "It's for my dinner with Peeta tonight" I exclaim. "I see. Your mother and I are going out for our own dinner so you guys can be alone" I hug him. "Thanks dad. But I don't think mom's strong enough for that" I sigh. He thinks for a moment. "Then we will just stay up in our room and give you two privacy" for that I give him another hug. "I'm going to go get ready. Peeta will be here in twenty minutes" I tell him.
I go upstairs and start curling my hair. When I was almost done the doorbell rang. "Dad, can you get it? I'm not ready" I shout to him downstairs. "Sure thing" he says as he opens the door. I put the curling iron down and I ran into my room, slipped my new dress over my head, making sure not to wreck my hair, put on accessories (hair bow, necklace, and bracelet), and jam the flats on my feet.
When I reach the top of the stairs I flip my hair and smooth my dress. "Hi Peeta" I say coming down the stairs as elegant as I can. I put on my biggest smile as I meet him at the bottom of the stairs. "You look… beautiful" he says with an astonished look on his face. "You're not so bad yourself" I tease. He chuckles. "Is your dress sunset orange?" he notices. "Yep. I got it just for tonight. Are you ready to have the best night of your life?" I take his hand. He nods his head and I kiss his cheek. "You two kids have fun. We'll be upstairs if you need anything" he says going upstairs. "Thanks daddy. I love you" I call up to him. Once he closed the door to his room I turn to Peeta. "Come on I have to show you something" I drag him to the music. "Oh I see you're going to play something for me" he leans against the door frame as I sit down at the piano. "This one's for you baby" I say running my fingers over the smooth keys. I feel his blue eyes on me as I start the song:
Oh, oh.
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh.
[Verse 1:]
You can be the peanut butter to my jelly
You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly
You can be the captain and I can be your first mate
You can be the chills that I feel on our first date
You can be the hero and I can be your side kick
You can be the tear that I cry if we ever split
You can be the rain from the cloud when it's storming
Or you can be the sun when it shines in the morning
[Hook 1:]
Don't know if I could ever be
Without you cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need
[Hook 2:]
Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry
[Chorus:]
Cause you're the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two
[Verse 2:]
You can be the prince and I can be your princess
You can be the sweet tooth I can be the dentist
You can be the shoes and I can be the laces
You can be the heart that I spill on the pages
You can be the vodka and I can be the chaser
You can be the pencil and I can be the paper
You can be as cold as the winter weather
But I don't care as long as we're together
[Hook 1:]
Don't know if I could ever be
Without you cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need
[Hook 2:]
Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry
[Chorus:]
Cause you're the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two
[Bridge:]
You know that I'll never doubt ya
And you know that I think about ya
And you know I can't live without ya
I love the way that you smile
And maybe in just a while
you can see me walk down the aisle
[Hook 2:]
Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry
[Chorus:]
Cause you're the one for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you (for you)
You take the both of us (of us)
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two
When I finished singing and the last note of the song rang through the house I felt Peeta's strong hands on my shoulders. He wraps his arms around me from the back. "Was that song telling me you want to marry me?" he whispers in my ear. I giggle. "No. I just wanted to show you how much I love you" I say turning my head to kiss him. I slowly pull away from his lips, knowing if we didn't stop now it would take a while. "Don't worry there will be more of that later tonight" I look up into his eyes. He smiles and gives me a peck on the lips before standing up. "Alright what's next?" I stand up to face him. "How do you know there's more to it?" I raise my eyebrow playfully. "Because I know you as much as I know myself" he replies. "We'll then you're correct because I made you your favorite meal" I have to bite my lip to prevent me from kissing him again.
I lead him to the dining room where everything is set up. "Oh my gosh. Madge you shouldn't have-"I cut him off. "But I did" I say dimming the lights. I go over to my spot and sit down. He pulls my chair out for me so I could sit. What a gentlemen. "Thanks" I say as he pushes me in. Then he sits down himself. "This smells delicious. Did you cook all of this?" He pours himself a bowl of beef stew. "Yeah" I say softly. "Mm, this is amazing" he compliments.
After dinner we clean up and stored what's left of the meal in the fridge. "What do you want to do now?" I ask as I sit down on the couch. It's not long til Peeta joins me. "We could watch a movie" he says kissing my neck. "Or we could go for a walk in the moonlight" his voice sounding seductive. His arms wrap around me, holding me against him. I turn around and fling my arms around his neck, pressing his body closer to mine and kiss him with all the passion I can conjure up. Then I realize where we are. This isn't the right place. I touch his arm, and he didn't respond so I wrap my fingers around his wrist and try to pry his hand off my waist. Once I got his hand off I slowly stop kissing him and lead him to my room. We laid down on my bed embracing each other in the dark. Then I kissed him again. The kind of kiss you never want to end.
He pulled away after a few seconds and I frowned. "Madge…I" I shook my head and a smile tugged at my lips as I stare into his beautiful blue eyes that are almost the same shade of blue as mine.. I felt his breath on my skin, his hands around my waist, and my arms around his neck. I lean back in and kiss him again, and this time he didn't argue. I climb under the blankets as my heart beat quickens. He follows me under, our lips never pulling away from one another. I suddenly feel confident as I slowly start to unbutton his shirt and he lets me…
PLEASE REVIEW! :) There will still be lots of fluff but A LOT more drama, you'll see what I mean in my next chapter. Love you guys ^_^ And just so you know the song in this chapter is called Perfect Two and it's by a girl named Auburn. If you've never heard of it before I recommend listening to it on Youtube!
