Chapter 33: Say WHAT?! (IDK what to really name it...)

(KATNISS POV)

I jumped on the bed and kissed Cato will all the passion inside my heart. If I really wanted to be with Peeta then seeing Milo would have made everything worse because he has Cato's eyes and blond hair.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to ask Peeta to watch Milo so we can have a little fun," I said kissing him again.

"Where did this come from," He asked. "An hour ago you were crying and thinking about possibly leaving me."

"If I wanted to leave you then Milo wouldn't have made it so easy to stay," I smiled. "Milo would make me cry harder if I really was going to leave, but seeing him sleeping just made me realize that time flies by and you can't let little things get in the way of you being happy. You and Milo made me happy so why possibly ruin that by leaving you for the man I liked over a year ago and nothing every evolved from?"

"We could just ask Prim and Mel to watch him," He smiled. "They don't get to see him much and you know they would take great care of him."

"Plus being underage, Mel's allowed to take one day off during the week," I smiled. "I bet she's still up! I could go ask now so I'm not interrupting her sleep!"

"I'll be here when you get back," He winked before I jumped out of bed.

(MELODY POV)

Sometimes, it gets really boring working with the small livestock. I mean they're adorable, but they don't really do much. Some nights, when Catherine's not looking, I sneak into the bunny and cat cages and play with them. I was in the bunny cage, playing with the babies when I heard someone come in.

"I'm sorry, but Catherine's not here right now so adoption is closed," I said standing up. "KAT!"

"Hey Mel," Katniss said smiling and walking over to the gate. "Cato and I need a HUGE favor."

"Sure, what is it," I asked worried. "Did something happen?"

"No," She said putting a hand on my shoulder. "Everything's fine. We just need a little time to ourselves and were wondering if you would watch Milo tomorrow night."

"I'D LOVE TO," I almost screamed. "I haven't watched Milo since he was three weeks old and all he did was sleep."

"Well he drinks lots of milk, is starting to eat some mushy foods, and is always dirtying his diaper," She smiled. "I know it's going to be a lot of work, but we won't be away too long and-"

"Take the whole night," I smiled. "I understand that you two need some alone time and I don't mind watching Milo, honest! Besides, you two could go above ground and rent a cabin, not that they would make you pay seeing as you helped build our underground home. They're really nice looking, you could stay on the beach, and even go out in the sun if you wanted!"

"I'm not sure about being in the sun, but-"

"Katniss," Catherine said coming out of the small livestock office. "What can I do for you?"

"She was wondering if I could take tomorrow off because she and my brother need a night to be alone and wanted me to watch Milo," I smiled at her.

I know how strict Catherine is, but even she can't resist Milo's adorable charm. The last time I watched him, she helped me move his bed in here so he could see the animals. This time, I could put a bunny or a kitten in his crib and see how he reacts. It's fun watching Milo and not even the grouchiest person her can say no to a baby, especially Milo!

"Fine," She sighed. "But you have to bring him here. I'll help move his crib."

(CATO POV)

Katniss had been gone quite a while and I was getting worried. Was Melody not allowed to take the day off? Did she get hurt on the way up there? Is she with Peeta?

"Sorry," She said coming through the door. "Catherine wasn't around at first to ask so I made sure Melody wanted to. She's totally cool with it and Catherine wants him to go and stay up there because she hasn't seen him in a while."

I smiled. I didn't care that she took a long time, I was just glad she was here and mine. At first it was hard to imagine my life with her, but now I can't imagine it without her. One day, when the rebellion was over and we were in control, Katniss and I were going to move back to our home in The Capital, if it was still there.

(PEETA POV)

I sat on my bed and tried to think about Clove. She was beautiful, but not as beautiful as Katniss. She was strong, but not as strong as Katniss. She was perfect, but not as perfect as Katniss. I didn't love Clove. I was telling myself to love her because she was the closest I would ever get to being with Katniss. I had to find Clove and tell her that I loved her though. Lie or not, I couldn't spend my life loving someone who would never love me back.

(CLOVE POV)

I was happily laying in bed when someone knocked on my door. A little annoyed that sleep was going to have to wait even longer, I went to the door. To my surprise, it was him. He was standing there, smiling at me from ear to ear. I hadn't seen him in three days, but now he was standing right in front of me.

"I love you," He said kissing me.

Picking me up, he closed the door with his foot and carried me to my bed. I wasn't too sure about going all the way with him, but all he did was kiss me. When I put my hand under his shirt, he stopped kissing me.

"Not tonight," He said. "Another night maybe, but tonight I just want to lay here and kiss you like you've never been kissed before."

That's all he needed to say to make me smile. He wanted me, but he didn't want to force himself on me. Everything was just as I dreamed it would be. No pressure, nothing but pure love without making me feel like I had to do anything.

After finally convincing him that nothing would happen, he let me take his shirt off. Underneath was a lightly toned six pack which made me stare for a moment. I was just about to kiss him again when there was another knock on my door. With a nod saying to answer it, I sighed.

"Coming," I said before giving him one more kiss and answering the door.

"I-," He started. "Didn't know you had company."

"Yeah," I said smiling. "What can I do for you?"

"Nothing," He said turning around. "I just wanted to see you."

"Come by tomorrow and-"

"No, I'll just see you when I see you," He said cutting me off. "Bye Clove."

"But Peeta," I said, but he was already walking away and I could tell be wasn't turning back around.

A/N: If Peeta was at the door the SECOND time, who was Clove making out with?! Sorry about leaving you guys with a cliff hanger, but I HAD to because there has to be a reason for you to come back for the next chapter if you're a new reader! If you're not a new reader, I apologize for making you guys have to wait about knowing who the first guy who knocked on Clove's door was... There will be more happening in the next couple chapters. I don't know exactly what yet because I just write the story as it comes to be, but I have a few things that I want to happen. If you couldn't tell, I GOT MY WRITING MOJO BACK! That and I'm on Spring Break this week! XD
