Katniss

What was that? Everyone dropped on their knees and huddled under the table. I looked at my companions and saw their faces were serious. This is real. I told myself. Since there were no more loud noises, we stood up cautiously. There was no real damage. Maybe some cracked window panes and knocked off water glasses were evident but not much is damaged. Haymitch laughed out loud and I could hear a tone of nervousness in his voice. "What was that?" Enobaria squeaked. I've never heard her like that. "We will go find out. Stay here."President Paylor stood up straight. We didn't question her. She has authority and Paylor was good in bossing people around. Haymitch, Johanna and Enobaria went up with her and her guards. Annie and I stayed with Beetee. We waited for them. My heart throbbed when I remembered something. Where is Peeta? Did something happen to him? I almost shed a tear.

Peeta

"What was that?"Johanna growled at me angrily. Paylor and Haymitch followed after her. I was on the rooftop, doing the preparations. For my proposal. "Why, did it cause mayhem?" I joked tensely. Johanna grimaced. The President approached me. "Peeta, try to be careful next time. Katniss might have had an impulse to run and find the cause. Fortunately, she kept her cool. You know how she can be."

I let out an exasperated sigh. How could I been so stupid?

"Thanks for the tip. I actually did not think about that,"

"Obviously. Maybe you should go down; she'll be seeking for you." Johanna crossed her arms and looked at me.

"Yeah maybe I should. Haymitch come with me." I looked at his face which looked dreadful. It is as if he had been doing drugs. Haymitch and I descended the stairs and when I reached the step where Katniss told me her wonderful words, I stopped and laughed.

"What's up with you?"

"Nothing." I shook my head.

"That's not what you call nothing. You're laughing like a hyena high on pot."

"Okay?"I laughed.

"Really Mellark. What is it?"

I whispered Katniss' words in his ear. The ones she said in her sleep. Like me, he gasped for air after laughing.

"Okay. That was weird."

"What was weird? That I told it to you?"

"Nope. That she said it to you. You're the guy."

"Maybe what she said was weird but that's what she feels Haymitch."

"Fine, Lover Boy. Gotta do it fast. Or else she'll do it for you." He shook his head.

"I'm going to do it later."

"Do what?"

"Propose!" I almost shouted. I clasped my hand over my mouth hoping that Katniss heard nothing of my outcry. I cautiously opened the dining room door and moseyed inside.

"Peeta!" Katniss ran toward me and gave me a hug. I felt her warmth envelop me.

"Where have you been?" I feel everyone looking at us. I blush slightly. Actually, I did not know what to say to Katniss. I searched for someone to help me. Haymitch. Help. I pleaded through my eyes. He gave me a weird smile and laughed. Fortunately, he did help me out. But not the way I wanted to.

"He was busy preparing a surprise for you."He played. "The heck Haymitch?" I blurted out.

I looked at Katniss. She was totally confused. She did not know who to look at. Haymitch chuckled like a maniac. I hate this man. Even though he was my mentor. Everyone was definitely listening to us now.

"Peeta, is it true?" Katniss smiled, her joy radiant. I was stunned. I did not know whether to lie or tell the truth. After all, I objected to Haymitch's words. That I had prepared something for Katniss.

"Sorry to burst your bubble sweetheart. I was only joking!"Haymitch laughed again. Was he crazy or what? I saw Katniss' smile fade and slowly disappear. Even though it was evident that she was disappointed, she tried to hide it. I felt really bad for her. I glared at Haymitch's laughing face.I decided I had to speak up now. Even though things weren't exactly going according to my plan, I had to get this thing done. For Katniss. For the only girl I love and the one that only will be. You can do it Peeta. I cheered myself on.

"On the contrary, I do have something to show you. " Katniss tried to suppress a smile and I mimicked her. I led her toward the rooftop. Everybody followed Katniss and I. This is it.


A/N: So elisemellark, do you consider this as a cliffhanger? It is isn't it? Haha. My style of writing.
