Peeta

We had such a good time tonight with our friends. Well, family really and every time I look at Katniss, firstly I think of how beautiful she is. Secondly, how much I love her and thirdly about earlier in our bedroom. I wish I could be her husband already so I could ravish her. She is so amazing. I tell her as much, after everyone leaves and she doesn't seem to see why.

"Why what did I do?" She asks me, looking at me with those beautiful steel grey eyes.

"Just being you. You made us a family. You make me so happy. Thank you for letting me be here with you and thank you for loving me." I say and kiss her.

"You're more than welcome. You don't owe me any thanks. I don't think we could be where we are without you. And you made us a family. Because you loved me it made other people care about me. They wouldn't have otherwise."

"I and so many other people owe you much more than thanks. You still don't realize the effect you have on people do you?"

"If you owe me, do me a favor." She asks. Doesn't she know by now she can have anything from me?

"Anything."

I'm shocked to say the least when she gently pushes me down so I'm on both knees. I smile thinking of the position I'm in. How I could just pull her skirt up and have my first kiss with another set of her lips. I can't help it. I put my hands around her waist. Then my smile leaves when I notice the look in her eyes

"Ask me." She says.

I'm really concerned since she looks like she's about to cry. I hope she isn't sad...

Ask her? Ask her what?

I'm about to get off my knees. I'm on my knees in front of the girl I love and she said... Ask Me!

This can't be happening. My heart is beating so fast. I take a deep breath and I take both her hands. "Katniss Everdeen, my girl on fire. You showed people, there isn't just despair and pain. That there is hope. That hope can move people to action. And action can change lives. You've changed my life for the better so many times and I want to spend the rest of my life changing yours, if you'll let me. Marry me?"

I pour my heart out. Please say yes! She wouldn't have told me to ask her if she wasn't going to say yes, right? I close my eyes waiting and I'm shaking.

"Yes! I love you yes! I'll marry you Peeta!"

Yes? She said yes!

My lips don't hesitate to show my enthusiasm.

"Oh, Katniss. I love you. What changed your mind. Never mind, I don't care just tell me again!" I beg.

"I'm going to be Mrs. Katniss Mellark. And we are going to make each day count for all of our loved ones and I'm going to make you so happy." She says ending it with a kiss.

I pick her up and swing her around and then I remember something. I put her down on the couch and tell her to wait. I'm about to leave, then I stop. I give her another kiss.

"Okay, wait right here. I'll be right back." I say and run upstairs to go get the ring. I come back and she's gone.

"Peeta!" I hear her coming from the kitchen or the hallway.

"Katniss, where are you?"

"Follow my voice."

It sounds farther away this time maybe the back door or the stairs. I check both then I hear her from upstairs. "Peeta, I'm waiting." She calls to me.
