Chapter 9
(Katniss POV)
Peeta came back over at 8pm and we watched the fault in our stars. I cried loads; it's not fair for them. After the fault in our stars, i put divergent on and we watched the first bit and then decided to throw and catch popcorn in each other's mouths. We laugh a lot and by 11pm I'm leaning on Peeta, his arm around is around my waist and my head is on his chest. We're both really tired but we watch most of the film. About 15 minutes from the end my eyes close, my breathing evens and the darkness of sleep invades me and i snuggle deeper into Peeta's warmth. I lean into his scent- the scent that i will always symbolise as warmth and safety
(Peeta POV)
About three-quarters of the way through the film, Kat started leaning on me and I put an arm around her. She fell asleep, slowly then all at once and she snuggled close into my chest. I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever. She's so perfect, too perfect.
I gently stroked the hair out of her eyes, smoothing it behind her ears. Her hair is so soft, it is a chocolate brown colour and is usually put into her signature braid but not now. Now it is flowing down around her shoulders, framing her face and, just like the rest of her, is completely perfect in every way. If only she felt the same. If only.
It's getting late now and the movie has just finished. I turn the TV of with the remote. It's too late to go back home. It's 11:30. I grab my phone and text my dad. 2 l8 2 cme home sleeping at a frnd's be back in the morn. I carefully take the blanket off the back of the sofa and softly drape it over Kat's and my bodies. My dad texts me back okay son. Just don't be late for your bakery shift mother won't be happy. And err son... use a condom. My eyes widen and I almost drop my phone at that last sentence. And frantically text back no dad... were not... just no she's just a girl I really like that doesn't like me back and she's already asleep with her head on my chest I am not ruining this moment and dad I'm 16!
After I calm down a bit, I gently lay down next to Kat, careful not to wake her, and lay her head over my chest again. This moment couldn't be more perfect. I gently stroke her hair again before drifting off to a land of more dreams, dreams I don't need because this moment is my dream come true.
(Katniss POV)
I wake up enveloped in warmth that seems so full of safety and i don't even want to get up. Last night was the first night since Cato that my sleep wasn't invaded by the vivid nightmares that terrorize my night hours. I snuggle closer into the heat. I have never felt so safe before.
I am just about to drift off to sleep again, when I hear a deep, sexy voice whisper "good morning" in my ear. The sudden noise shocked me and I nearly fell to the floor but strong arms catch me before I fall. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle. Are you okay? Are you hurt?" that concerning voice could only belong to one person, Peeta.
Then everything comes rushing back. He came over for a movie I fell asleep- did i sleep on him. "I'm okay." I say rubbing my eyes. After I've woken up enough to focus on my surroundings, I notice I'm still in Peeta's arms so I gingerly stand up and stretch. "hi."
"Hi, sorry it was really late after the movie and I think I just fell asleep" he says standing and stretching as well. I can't help but notice that when he stretches the bottom of his shirt comes up and you can see the perfect v that points to his private area. I realize I'm staring and quickly look away and move towards the kitchen. "Let me cook for you. Go take a shower or something and I'll have breakfast ready for when you come back" I think about this for a minute. He does bake and I'm a horrible cook and I probably look really rough and could do with a shower. "Okay then you do bake and I'm an awful cook" he smiles at me and I smile back before heading to my bedroom, grabbing some clothes and walking to the bathroom to take a shower.
I emerge from the bathroom in my light blue shorts and a dark green tank top on. The smell that greets me in the kitchen is sensational. I take a deep breath inhaling the scent and smile as I walk towards Peeta. He was just putting down three plates. Three plates? Oh my God Prim! I forgot she was staying here tonight instead of at Mom's. My shock and alarm must show on my face because he points over to the couch smiling. I turn around and notice SpongeBob on the TV.
"Hey Prim." Her head snaps from the TV to me.
"Finally remembered I was here" she says with a laugh. She knows me to well so there is no point lying. "I am so sorry Prim. I was watching a movie and i completely forgot"
She motions for me to come closer to her, so I do and she puts her face next to my ear. "What's with hot blondie, I'm not complaining but if you tell me you got a boyfriend in a week and didn't tell me I won't be happy" I blush.
"He's not my boyfriend he's just a friend and we watched a movie last night and fell asleep. Now come on he made breakfast and is an awesome cook."
We get up and walk to the table but not before she whispers one last thing in my ear. "you just wish he was"
please review it would mean a lot thanks for reading :)
