Chapter 8
A/N okay so this chapter goes through the normal week that Peeta wanted.
<Peeta's POV>
The surprise at the end of our normal week is really big. I have to start working on it now. I get a bunch of canvas's and paint and paintbrushes and start the surprise. Right when I am about to touch the tip of the brush to the canvas my phone rings. I get up to get it just in case it is Katniss.
It is. "Hello beautiful" I say.
"Morning to you to. What are we doing on our first day of our normal week?" She asks obviously curious.
"Want to go to the meadow for a picnic?" I ask. She replies with a happy sure and the hangs up. I leave my art room. I walk into my bedroom and get dressed for the meadow. Then I walk downstairs into the kitchen and grab cheese buns, cider and some crackers and fruit. I hear a knock at my door.
Slowly I glide my way towards the door and open it just to see Katniss standing there her hair in a beautiful braid. "You look beautiful," I compliment. She blushes and I smirk.
We make our way to the meadow set down a blanket amongst the flowers lay down and stuff our faces with cheese buns. "Peeta," she says.
"Yes?"
"I love you,"
"I love you to," I turn on my side so I am facing her and she does the same. I lean in and connect my lips with her lips. They match perfectly. Slowly but surely Katniss makes her way onto me. We kiss harder and harder until we finally have to come up for air.
I stare into her mysterious grey eyes and smile. "What?" She asks.
"You're so beautiful."
She blushes. "I don't deserve you," she admits. I am surprised she would say that.
"Yes you do! If anything I don't deserve you!" I fight back.
"No Peeta you don't get it. You are so pure and you use your words I would kill someone in a heartbeat just like in the games!"
<Katniss's POV>
I regret using the games in my sentence right after I say it. I know it will trigger a flashback. "Peeta I-"
"Get away Katniss before it comes!" Peeta shouts.
"No I'm staying here! I know you can fight it off! Just try. I'm here for you. Always" he grips the blanket hard to the point where his knuckles turn white.
"Katniss go." He mumbles trying to concentrate on the flashback. His eyes are shut tight.
"Peeta I am right here I am safe. Do you remember those times on the roof where we would order food and you would play with my hair?" That seems to help because his grip loosens, but he is still fighting off the flashback. "You told me on the train ride to district eleven that your favorite color was sunset orange and I said mine was green." He let's go of the blanket and opens his eyes.
"Thank you," he says to me and then leans in to kiss me. I wait for his lips and when they reach mine I smile through the kiss. It's short and sweet. "Come on we best be getting back," Peeta says. We pack up the food and blanket and then walk back to the Victors Village. Peeta starts to walk towards his house.
"Why are you going that way?"
"Because that's my house," he says grinning but confused.
"Ya well I can't sleep alone. The nightmares will come. Will you stay with me?" I ask knowing his answer.
"Always." and with that we go into my house and up to my bedroom. I change in the bathroom and he changes in the bedroom. When I walk back in the room he is only wearing black sweatpants. I admire his very hard and toned six-pack. "Like what you see madam?" He asks bowing his head a little as if I'm a queen.
"Oh you filthy servant! I can't sleep in here with you!" I start to walk away but Peeta chases me so I start running. He catches up with me and grabs my waist.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asks putting an arm under my knees and one under my back so he is carrying me bridal style. I giggle which I rarely do.
He brings me back into my room lays me down on the bed and holds me tight to his chest. My head lies there.
"Peeta?"
"Yes dear?"
"I lov-"
"I love you," he cuts me off I playfully punch his shoulder.
"I love you to."
A/N okay so this was kind of a filler chapter. In the next chapter I skip ahead to the last day off the normal week...
