Totally un-related to the story, but as soon as you ask questions or want clarification, I'll post the answer at the beginning of the chapter in an authors note and I'll include your username too. Anyways ENJOY 3
Chapter 3-
"Hey Pete?" She asks quietly. "Yeah Jo?" I answer. "Is it ok if I stay at your place tonight my roommate is throwing a party and I sorta just wanna go to sleep." She says shyly. "Of course" I say softly. I turn the car around and head towards my place.
Soon we're there and I get out of the car telling her to wait. I walk around to her side and open the door for her offering my hand to her. She holds her arms out silently begging me to carry her, she puts on her best puppy dogs face. I dramatically sigh and roll my eyes but take her in my arms and walk her up to my house. "Thanks Peety." She whispers. "Any time Jo." I tell her softly. Once we're inside I carry her upstairs and ask if she wants to stay in the guest bedroom and she simply shakes her head. I tuck her into bed, put my PJ's on, and soon join her. As soon as she realizes I'm there she comes over to me and lays her head on my chest. I wrap my arms around her and we drift to sleep.
We wake up ant roughly the same time and a huge smile spreads across when I see her. "Good morning." I say to her. "Mornin'" she says. "How'd you sleep?" I ask. "Amazing, it was nice having you here." She says happily. "My thoughts exactly." I say with a smile. I give her a light peck on the lips and we both get ready. I wear a pair of cargo shorts that go down to right above my knees, a simple band tshirt, and lace less Vans. I offer to take Jo by her house before we meet the gang but she refuses and just borrows one of my smaller shirts, matching it with her outfit of the previous night.
I walk down stairs behind her, "how bout you whip us up some breakfast?" She asks as she sits down at one of the barstools that accompanies a counter that lines my kitchen. "Sure." I say. I quickly scramble eggs, fry bacon, and make bread for us to eat. "Annie says she wants us to meet someone." Jo says as she rapidly texts on her iPhone. "Who?" I ask. She pauses to ask and reads Annie's response, "she says it's a surprise." She answers annoyed. "Well we all know how much you love surprises." I say sarcastically. "Very funny." She says. "Okay so where are we meeting this mystery person?" I ask as I bring over the 2 plates. "She said to meet them at the park." She responds as she begins to eat her breakfast. I nod and we finish our food and head out the door.
After driving for several minutes, talking and laughing the whole way, we arrive at the park. Obviously there are tons of parks in the San Diego area, but this one is so near all of our houses we like to hang out here. I open Jo's door for her and we walk hand and hand to meet the others. "How do you think they'll react when we tell them we're an item?" I ask. "Well, I think that it'll come as a shock to all of them to say the least." She says with a smile.
As we approach the first thing I notice is a girl with brown hair who's turned around talking to Annie. "Why are you guys holding hands?" Annie says when we are feet away from her. We look at each other and start cracking up. "Wait, are you guys like together?" She says totally shocked. This makes us laugh even harder. "Finnick! Jo and Peeta are dating!" Annie screams to her boyfriend. "What?! Are you being serious!" He yells. "Well duh we're serious, breadboy here finally made a move!" Jo explains "Finally? Does that mean you liked me before last night?" I ask completely curious. "Shut up!" She says defensively. This makes us all laugh. That's when I finally look to the girl with brown hair, she's turned around and I recognize her. It's Katniss Everdeen.
