Katniss and Gale - The Kiss
Chapter Two
I push open the front door of the house and go into the kitchen to find Prim and mother preparing dinner.
"Katniss you've had us so worried, you never told us you went...out" my mother says to me.
"I know, I'm sorry. I just needed some fresh I soppose" I say.
"Dinner ready in an hour"she says.
"I'm going out to see Madge, I'll be back for dinner"I say.
"Alright"she says.
I make my way towards Madge house. I knock on the door and the district major answers the door.
"Looking for Madge" he asks.
"Yes, is she in?" I ask.
"Yes come on in. She's up in her room. Go on up"the major says.
"Thanks" I say.
I climb up the stairs and knock gently on Madge's door.
"Come on in" Madge says.
"Hey Katniss! I thought I heard your voice"
"Hey Madge, I need to tell you something" I say.
She pulls me over to her bed and we face each other sitting crossed legs.
"Gale kissed me"I say.
"About time, the both of you are so oblivious to your feelings"she giggles.
"Haha! I'm worried that it might turn awkward now"I say.
"Katniss its only going to be awkward if you let that happen. You've been best friends for years but it's more than that. You love each other, he wants to be with you, so don't push him away"she says.
"Yeah, I'm just being silly"I say.
"Exactly it will be fine. Was it good?" she says.
I blush and we both giggle. We talk for a bit but I have to leave for dinner.
"See you in school"I say as I leave.
I walk into the kitchen and sit down beside Prim to have my dinner.
"What you do today little duck? "I say to Prim.
"Milked lady and helped mum treat a kid with the measles, she looked so sick" she says.
"Well with you looking after her she'll be in perfect health in no time"I say.
We have an early night and I tuck Prim into bed before getting in beside her. I turn off the side lamp and drift asleep. When I wake up Prim is snoring softly beside me so I get up trying not to wake her and put on my hunting gear. I got down the stairs out the front door and head for the woods.
I slide underneath the fence and walk down to Gale and mine meeting place and see he's not there yet so I sit down and wait for him. I look out over the valley lost in thought about what's out there and then I feel someone slip their legs each side of mine so I'm sitting in between their legs. I gasp and turn around to see Gale with a devilish smirk on his face from frightening me.
"You know you shouldn't sneak up on people like that" I say while turning round facing out toward the valley again and leaning back against Gale's chest.
"Sorry couldn't resist"he whispers into my ears and reaches down and entertained our fingers.
"What do you think is out there? I mean beside the districts and the capitol." I say.
"There must be something, maybe it's full of valleys like this"he says.
"Yeah maybe"I say.
"I would run away, with see what is there though" he says.
"Me too"I say.
"Let's go check the snares"he says.
We walk down into the woods with our hands twined together.
That was really a fill in, it will get better though. I've their future planned so I don't want to rush. Soon the families find out about the two of them, their friends at school(girls who get jealous) and their friends at the hob.
