-Chapter II-

The next day, Katniss woke up with the smell of bacon and eggs coming from their kitchen. She get off the bed and head for the kitchen to see Cato making their breakfast. Its weekend and she doesn't have work but Cato have to open his shop. She stopped for a moment and admire her soon to be husband. She can help but replay just how lovely and special Cato makes her feel every time they are together. She can't help but smile to herself, she slowly realize that she's destined to spend the rest of her life together with the most amazing man she had ever met.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Cato noticed her standing behind him. He turn to face Katniss with a huge grin on his face, "Good morning baby! Sleep well?"

Katniss giggled, "Very much." She put her arms around Cato's neck and give a lingering kiss. "I'll go help you with the shop."

Cato stroked Katniss' cheek, "I've been thinking of not opening the shop today." Katniss give Cato a questioning look, "I was just thinking that we could just stay here and plan our wedding."

"Excited are we?" Katniss teasing Cato.

"Yes I am." Cato give Katniss a quick peck. "Let's eat."

They spent the next hour eating and talking about their respective jobs and other stuff. When they're done, they decided to call on their good friend Cinna who is on his way to becoming a famous designer. Cinna owns a dress shop boutique close to Cato's café. With only an hour wait, Cinna arrived at their apartment, but to their surprise he's not alone.

"Oh my god!" Johanna squealed and lunge herself towards Katniss. She is a co-worker of Katniss in the firm also as an intern. Johanna and Katniss spends their coffee break together and become bonded. Johanna is the complete opposite of Katniss, but for some reason they manage to become best friends. "You're finally going to get laid."

Katniss just laughed at her friend's remark, "Good to see you too Johanna."

"Congratulations you two!" said Madge, she works for Cinna as part-time which is a big wonder to them since Madge is known to be super rich.

"Thanks Madge", said Cato and hugged Madge.

"Hey Catnip!"

Katniss see Gale standing at the door smiling widely, "Oh my God Gale!" She rushed towards her good friend and hug him, "You're here." Gale is Katniss cousin and her closest relative. They would often go out with Cato.

"Yeah, well. When Cinna called me and told me the news, I just have to get here."

"Well, we're glad that you're all here." said Cato who's already beside Katniss. "But, I seem to remember Cinna telling us that he'll come alone." Cato and Katniss looked at Cinna with a smirk on their face.

Cinna laughed and raise his hand in a surrendering manner, "I got excited. And I figured that I'll make it easy for you to tell us. All at once that is."

Katniss hugged Cinna, "Thank you." She let go and face their friends, "Let's hang out at the roof."

The six of them head for the roof of the building where they all hang out every time Katniss' and Cato's friends visit their place. They formed their seats in a circle and Cinna starts to tell them his ideas about the gowns and suits, and Madge laid out the options for the flowers, cakes, and other wedding stuff. Katniss and Cato talked before that their venue would be in the church of their old hometown.

"So, who's going to be your maid of honor?" Johanna asking Katniss, as Cato is busy talking with Cinna and Madge, and Gale smoking at the corner.

Katniss stare at her friend with eyebrow raised, "Are you interested?"

"Well, since Prim is still young to be your maid of honor. I figured that I can fill in for her."

Katniss let out a small laugh, "Are you kidding me? You hate weddings."

"I do. But it's your wedding." Johanna said smirking at Katniss.

"Please, you just want to hook up with whoever Cato picks as his best man."

Johanna laugh sarcastically, "I am not." Katniss eyed her friend, "Well, maybe."

"Well, I don't think Cato would ask someone to be his best man. He doesn't have siblings and aside from you guys, the only ones he hang out with is his employees in the café. Which is Mr. Jenkins, who is a 35 year old barista and Becky, the intern." Katniss smirked at Johanna, "Take your pick."

Johanna rolled her eyes at Katniss shifted to Cato, "Hey Hadley!"

Cato look up at her, "Yes flirt?" Cato started calling Johanna a flirt when she starts to talk to Katniss about her one night stands. It is more subtle than what he used to call her. Cato was first opposed with Katniss hanging out with Johanna, but when he heard about Johanna's past, he tried to befriend her and now whenever he and Katniss get into a fight, he seek Johanna first for advice.

"Who's going to be your best man?" asked Johanna.

Cato chuckled, "Gale, of course."

Gale coughed like he had choke his cigarette, "What?!"

Cato give a questioning look at Gale, "Didn't I ask you 5 years ago?"

Gale sat beside me, "You did?"

"Yes, remember at our senior prom?"

Katniss laughed, "Senior prom? Seriously?"

"Yes" Cato turn to Gale, "Remember when you and I drop Katniss off. When I told you that I asked Katniss to be my girlfriend and she said yes. And you congratulated me. And then I said that I want you to be my best man when we get married, you said yes."

Gale gape at Cato, "I remember. I'm actually being sarcastic that time."

Cato laughed, "I know. But I'm serious that time."

"Whoa! Nice!" Gale get off his seat and pat Cato on his shoulder, "Yes. Yes man, I'll be your best man, and this time I'm not being sarcastic."

Cato grin widely, "I know dude."

Katniss reach and kiss Cato, "Aw! You actually thought that long ago that we're eventually going to end up married? That's so sweet."

They then spend the next hours planning for Katniss and Cato's wedding. When Katniss is settled by their choice, they all go out for dinner and decided to call it a night. Johanna head for her apartment, Madge and Cinna decided to go to the boutique and polish the agreed motifs, and Gale left to return at their hometown. He's working as a professor for the community college in their town. Katniss and Cato also head home to their apartment.

While Katniss is taking a shower, she can't help but feel excited how things are turning out.

"Baby?" Cato calling to her.

"Yes baby?"

"I'm thinking, we should set up the date of our wedding this coming month."

Katniss is done and already drying herself, "You want our wedding to be early?"

"Well, yes. You know, the sooner the better."

Katniss is now done and they are getting ready for bed, "I guess that could work."

They lay, facing with each other, "I was just thinking that we've been waiting our whole lives." Cato said.

Katniss smile at her future husband, "I know what you mean. I'm sorry for making you wait this long." She kissed him and look deeply at Cato's blue eyes. "But to tell you honestly, I too, cannot wait any longer", Katniss voice came out sensual and soft.

Cato's about to lunge at Katniss when she stopped him and smile at him sweetly, "Well move our wedding for next month."
