I just realized that if you put Peeta (the beginning of it) in the middle of Katniss, that is spells, Katpeeniss…no wonder Gale calls her Catnip…
Chapter 8 – Peeta's POV
Katniss and I left Gale alone at the restaurant. I bet it was so he could hit on the waitress. She was pretty, but I got Katniss. Her house is too far of a walk from here, but mine isn't. "Where are we going, Peeta?"
"Somewhere."
"I know I'm not going to my house, and there isn't much else in this direction. We're either going to take music lessons or you're taking me to your house." She caught me.
"The second one." She grabbed my hand and threaded her fingers through mine. We walked in silence.
When we got to my house, it was empty. I made my way into the kitchen and saw a note on the table. It read, Peeta, your mother, brothers and I left for our trip. I know you said last minute that you didn't want to go, but give us a call if you change your mind. –Dad. "Peeta?" I ran back to the door and closed it. Katniss was standing in the entry way and looking around. "Your house is huge, at least compared to mine."
"It's not that big."
"You're just saying that to be polite." She paused. "Where's your family?"
"They're visiting family in District 3. I didn't want to go." Because I wanted to be with you, I continued in my head.
"Well, I'm glad you stayed." She hugged me tightly.
"Katniss, I'm not going anywhere. You don't have to hold so tightly."
I could hear her sniffling and tears on my shoulder. "That's what my dad said, and the one day I didn't, he was gone."
"Hey, do you want to watch a movie?" She pulled away and nodded, but then pulled back in. I felt her shivering. "Do you want a blanket, or two?"
"Please. Your house is freezing." She let go and ran to the couch. I went upstairs and grabbed the comforter off my bed. When I got down into the living room, she was looking through the DVDs.
"Found one you like?"
"Yeah, a couple." She turned around. "You don't mind this one do you?" She held up a case. "I haven't seen it yet."
"No, that's good." Katniss had chosen The Proposal. "I haven't seen it either, but then again, I'm a guy and guys don't watch chick flicks if they don't have-" I stopped there.
"You can call me your girlfriend; I'm fine with that, boyfriend."
She handed me the case and I set it up. I sat on the corner of the couch and handed her my comforter. She sniffed it. "What was that?"
"It smells like you!" She laughed.
"Well, that's weird, it was on my bed. What do I smell like?"
"I don't know, there is some strawberry and a little bit of bread, it's just you."
She set down the comforter and sat on my lap, then spread it over the both of us. I was glad it wasn't light inside because she could see my face go red.
